Clinical Trials of Our Products, page 42
4.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 3. Please revise your
disclosure to address the following comments:
•We refer to your revised disclosure that all trials were independently conducted
and funded. Please revise to clearly specify who conducted each trial and provide
greater detail of the design and scope of Trials 1 and 3;
•Please revise your characterization of Trial 1 to discuss the data, such as the pre-
and post-treatment averages, rather than drawing conclusions from the results;
•Please clarify the meaning and significance of technical terms the first time they
are used in this section to ensure that all investors will understand the disclosure.
For example, please explain what you mean by OD and unpaired two-tailed
student’s t-test; and

part. Please expand your disclosure relating to the regulatory requirements for your

Organization (CDSCO).
Index to Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-1
We note your response to prior comment 21. The financial statements are presented as
of a date after September 24, 2024, when CBI NV acquired all of the equity of CBI
FL. CBI NV had no operations since inception and appears to have been created to 7.

effect a recapitalization. As such, it appears CBI FL is the accounting acquirer and the
transaction should be accounted for as a reverse acquisition or recapitalization of CBI
FL. In this case, the assets and liabilities of the two companies should be combined at
their historical bases, the accumulated deficit of CBI FL should be carried forward
and the accumulated deficit of CBI NV should be eliminated against paid-in capital.
The results of operations of CBI FL would become those of the combined entity and
the premerger results of operations of CBI NV should no longer be presented. The pro
forma financial statements would appear to no longer be required in this scenario.
Please revise the financial statements as necessary or provide us with an explanation
as to the basis for continuing to provide separate financial statements of the entities
after the date of merger.
Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations, page F-16
8.We note your response to comment 22. We continue to believe that you should
expand your disclosures to discuss the basis of presentation of the carve-out financial
statements, specifically how you determined which operations should be included in
the carve-out financial statements. For example, your disclosures indicate that Caring
Brands Florida may have represented a separate legal entity, which may mean that the
carve-out financial statements reflect the full financial statements of this legal entity.
Income Taxes, page F-18
9.We reissue comment 24. Please clearly disclose in the notes to the financial
statements whether you are using the separate return approach. If the historical
statements of operations do not reflect the tax provision on a separate return basis,
please present pro forma financial information reflecting a tax provision calculated on
the separate return basis. Refer to Question 3 of SAB Topic 1.B.
Note 6 - Investment in NovoDX - a Related Party, page F-29
10.We note your response to comment 26. It appears that you have chosen to use the fair
value option to account for your investment in NovoDX Corporation in accordance
with ASC 321. Please clearly disclose that you have chosen the fair value option, if
true. Please also expand your disclosures pursuant to ASC 825-10-50, which include
disclosing the method and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value as well
as management's reasons for electing the fair value option.
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity, page F-32
11.We note your response to comment 27. Please better explain to us how you
determined the fair value of the common stock underlying your recent equity
issuances, including the 400,000 shares issued for services. Please also address the
reasons for any differences between the recent valuations of your common stock used
to determine these fair value amounts and the estimated offering price of $4 per share.
We note that you indicate that the 400,000 shares were valued based on the most
recent common stock sale price. Please specify which transaction you are referring to
and when this sale took place.
