Cover Page
1.Please revise your cover page to disclose that you are registering 25,000,000 ordinary
shares, and clarify whether these ordinary shares are being registered as a secondary
resale transaction. Please also advise whether the ordinary shares being registered are

registration statement, as well as the number of ordinary shares that may be sold in

Company or by any selling shareholders, please consider whether the shares should be
registered under the Exchange Act using Form 10 rather than Form F-1.
We note your disclosure on page 3 that the anticipated opening price is $10.00 per 2.

your cover page to disclose your opening price, and the process by which your
opening price will be determined. Please also disclose your financial advisor and their
role in that process. Please also revise your summary to include corresponding
disclosures. We refer to your disclosure on page 61 that "[i]n order to comply with

products in development, emphasizing the current state of development and regulatory
approvals of each. In particular, please also note the timing for commercialization and
the markets in which you intend to sell each product. Please also clarify the date that
each product received their regulatory approvals.
5.Please revise your summary to disclose that you are a pre-revenue company that has
not generated any revenue and do not expect to generate revenue until the second half

you incurred an operating loss of €1,320,353.

Risk Factors, page 4
8.Please revise your risk factor disclosure to discuss the risk to investors stemming from
your direct listing. In particular, please consider the risk to investors from increased
price and market volatility, the process for the listing and setting of the opening
trading price of your ordinary shares, the lack of safeguards associated with a
traditional underwritten offering, that the opening trading price of your ordinary
shares may not be related to historical sales prices, uncertainty associated with the fact
that few companies have undertaken direct listings to date, and the challenges the
tracing requirement could pose for potential shareholders in relation to securities
liability claims under Section 11 and Section 12 of the Securities Act for a direct
listing versus a traditional IPO.
We could experience cost increases or disruptions in supply of raw materials or other

components used in BreastCheck, page 4

significant costs related to procuring raw materials required to manufacture and

of BreastCheck." Please revise to disclose these raw materials and their source. Please
also revise to identify NeuRX Health Inc as the manufacturer and distributor of
BreastCheck, as you do on page 28.
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights
through U.S. courts may be limited..., page 11
10.We note your disclosure that "[c]ertain corporate governance practices in Ireland,
which is [y]our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies
incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. Currently, [you] do not
plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance
matter." However, on page 12, you note that "[b]ecause [you] are a foreign private
issuer under the Exchange Act, [you] are exempt from certain provisions of the
securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S.
domestic issuers." Please reconcile these disclosures, and advise whether you will be
relying on Irish home country practice pursuant to the foreign private issuer
exemptions.
Expenses of Issuance and Distribution, page 14
11.Please explain the source of funds that will be used to pay the estimated $871,900 of
expenses in connection with the registration of your shares given that you have never
generated revenue, have de minimis cash on hand and will not receive any proceeds
from the registration of your shares in a direct listing.

whether they were transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
Please also revise your risk factor disclosures, as applicable, to note that recent sales
prices for your ordinary shares may bear little or no relation to the trading price at or
subsequent to the opening of trading of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq.

14.We note your disclosure on page 24 that "it can only be assumed that there is a large
and open market of women who would wish to monitor their health in the privacy of
their own home, particularly given that the accuracy level [of BreastCheck] is the
same as a mammogram." Please substantiate your claim that BreastCheck has the
same accuracy level as a mammogram.
Operating Results, page 27
15.Please provide a more detailed discussion of the material factors impacting the
decrease in expenses, and trends management expects in upcoming periods. Please
discuss any material events and uncertainties that would cause reported financial

please also provide a breakdown of your research and development by product, by
function of costs (e.g. clinical, regulatory application), or by nature of costs (e.g.

with NeuRX Health, including payments and annual royalties due under the
agreement. Please also advise if a final agreement has been entered into with NeuRX,

support of the Chief Executive Officer, who has provided all funding to date. We also
note on page 52 you state that the financial support is provided through Malbrite Ltd.,
a Company owned by Jack Kaye.
•Please reconcile and expand your disclosures to provide information on material
terms of any agreement between the Company and the provider of financial
support.
•We note that Malbrite Ltd. is not listed as an affiliate shareholder on page 52, so it
is not clear how the Company is settling any liabilities from the financial support
it receives. Please include Malbrite Ltd in the listing of affiliate shareholders if
necessary. Refer to Item 404 of Regulation S-K and Item 7.B of Form 20-F.
•As a related matter, tell us your consideration to report the advances from related
parties as operating cash inflow rather than financing cash inflow in your

We have a limited operating history, page 34

acquired it and how long you have owned it.

27.Please revise to briefly discuss how the technology in each of BreastCheck, FootFlow
and Testic operates to collect temperature data from users. As an example only, we
note your disclosure on page 41 that "BreastCheck averages temperature at three areas
on each breast. By comparing the temperature of corresponding areas of one breast to
the other, and entering the results on [y]our Mobile App, results can be interpreted
immediately." Please also explain how results can be interpreted immediately and
advise on the data output presented by the mobile application, including whether the
application provides a diagnosis for users. Provide corresponding disclosures for each
of your products and/or product candidates, as applicable.
28.We note your disclosure on page 41 that "the technology behind BreastCheck is FDA
registered in the USA, and also registered with the relevant regulatory authorities in
the EU and the UK." We also note your disclosure on page 24 that BreastCheck "was
originally FDA approved for sale but at the time of approval, it was only licensed for
sale through clinicians rather than an over-the-counter product that could be
purchased from pharmacies. BreastCheck will now be available to be sold over the
counter through Pharmacists and over the internet, with an on line or mobile app
results review, providing immediate results." Please advise whether you required a
new FDA approval for the over-the-counter sale of BreastCheck and FootFlow, and if
so, please disclose whether this approval was obtained, the nature of the approval and
the date of the approval. Please also advise whether similar approvals are required to
offer your other products, such as Testic over the counter or from regulatory bodies in
other jurisdictions where you intend to sell your products.
29.We note your reference on page 41 to BreastCheck being "a safe, reliable, low-cost,
and accurate way to routinely monitor for breast abnormalities," and your reference on
page 44 to FootFlow being "a safe, reliable and accurate way to routinely monitor foot
temperatures which can be used as an adjunct to established procedures for the
detection and/or treatment of both PAD and Diabetes, amongst other medical
conditions." Please revise to explain the basis for these claims regarding safety and
efficacy, including the results of any clinical studies and/or trials supporting these
claims.
