Note 1 – General
 
A.
Steakholder Foods Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Israel on July 22, 1992 as a private company limited by shares in accordance with the Companies Ordinance, 1983, and later a publicly-traded company whose ordinary shares were listed for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). In March 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market, listing American Depositary Shares (ADSs) for trade under the ticker STKH, and later voluntarily de-listed its ordinary shares from the TASE. The Company’s official address is 5 David Fikes St., Rehovot, Israel. In August 2022, the Company changed its name from MeaTech 3D Ltd. to Steakholder Foods Ltd.
 
The Company’s foodtech activities commenced in July 2019 by a company called MeaTech Ltd., which merged with the Company in January 2020 and became a fully-owned subsidiary, now called Steakholder Innovation Ltd.
 
Steakholder Foods Ltd., is an international deep-tech food company that is on a mission to revolutionize the way food is produced, empowering meat manufacturers with cutting-edge 3D bio-printers and consumables to produce delicious, nutritious, safe, and consistent complex products from ethically harvested cells.
 
The company is developing a slaughter-free solution for producing cellular agriculture meat products, such as beef and seafood, by offering manufacturers the ability to produce a cultivated meat product that aims to closely mimic the taste, texture, and appearance of traditional meat— as an alternative to industrialized farming and fishing. To that end, the Company is developing novel, proprietary, three-dimensional bioprinters to deposit layers of plant-based ink and cell-based bio-ink in a three-dimensional form of structured cultivated meat. The cultivated and hybrid meat production processes the Company is developing have the potential to improve the quality of the environment, shorten global food supply chains, and reduce the likelihood of health hazards such as zoonotic diseases transferred from animals to humans (including viruses, such as virulent avian influenza and COVID-19, and drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, such as some strains of salmonella). With its membership in the UN Global Compact, Steakholder Foods is committed to act in support of issues embodied in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which include strengthening food security, decreasing carbon footprint, and conserving water and land resources.
 
B.
Since inception the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of USD 78 million. The Company has financed its operations mainly through fundraising from various investors.
 
The Company’s management expects that the Company will continue to generate losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. Based on the projected cash flows and cash balances as of the date of approval of the financial statements, management is of the opinion that its existing cash will be sufficient to fund operations until Q2 2024. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include the continue securing sufficient financing through the sale of additional equity securities or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. Additional funds may not be available when the Company needs them on terms that are acceptable to it, or at all. If the Company is unsuccessful securing sufficient financing, it may need to cease operations.
 
The financial statements include no adjustments for measurement or presentation of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company fail to operate as a going concern.

Material events in the reporting period
 
  (1)
On January 9, 2023, the Company consummated an underwritten public offering of 1,550,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of USD 1.00 per ADS and pre-funded warrants to purchase 4,950,000 ADSs at a purchase price of USD 0.9999 per warrant and an exercise price of USD 0.0001 per warrant, for total immediate gross proceeds of approximately USD 6.5 million. As part of the offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,500,000 ADSs, equivalent to 65,000,000 ordinary shares, exercisable immediately for a period of five years, with an exercise price of $1.00 per ADS, equivalent to $0.10 per ordinary share. The warrants include a net exercise mechanism, and were therefore classified as a derivative (see Note 8B), and underwriter warrants to purchase 162,500 ADSs, exercisable immediately for a period of five years, with an exercise price of USD 1.00 per ADS with a fair value of $131 thousand, $105 thousand were allocated to issuance costs and $26 thousand were allocated to premium on shares. Additionally Underwriting discounts and other offering expenses totaled approximately $0.7 million. The net proceed were allocated as follows:  $1.1 million as net equity, $5.2 million as a derivative, and $0.5 million were recognized as expenses. In connection with the offering, the Company entered into an agreement with an existing investor to reduce the exercise price of outstanding warrants to purchase up to 1,857,143 ADS which were issued in the Company’s July 2022 registered direct offering (the “Prior Warrants”) from USD 3.50 per ADS to USD 1.00 per ADS, and to extend the term of the Prior Warrants until January 10, 2028. The total changes in the fair value of derivative was $ 392 thousand, which was allocated between the financing expenses and premium on shares  in the amount of $316 and $76 thousand, respectively.
 
  (2)
On April 3, 2023, the Company announced that Peace of Meat BV (hereafter “Peace of Meat”) would close, following a cessation of funding in the context of optimizing the Company’s funds and investment strategy, alongside enabling a greater focus on recently-announced core goals such as accelerating the commercialization of its 3D printing technology. As a result, the Company classified Peace of Meat as discontinued operations. For further information, see Note 3.
 
  (3)
On April 3, 2023, the Company announced its participation in a strategic investment round in Wilk Technologies Ltd. (TASE: WILK), a related party, alongside leading players in the food industry, such as Danone and the Central Bottling Co. Ltd. (owner of Tara, Coca Cola Israel and more) in the amount of $435,000. For further information. see Note 6.
 
  (4)
Change in interest curves and inflation expectations
 
As from 2021 inflation rates in Israel and the world have been rising – in 2021 the Consumer Price Index in Israel increased, an increase that is continuing also, into 2022- 2023. Along with the worldwide rise in prices, central banks around the world decided to raise interest rates with the aim of curbing rising prices. The accounting effects of the changes in interest rates and the rise in inflation rates are reflected in the framework of, inter alia, the following matters:
 
 
Financial risks, with respect to linkage and currency risk and hedge accounting.
 
Lease liability expenses
 
Currency translation reserve

Note 2 – Basis of preparation of the Financial Statements
 
A.
Statement of compliance with IFRS
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all of the information required in full annual financial statements.
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 30, 2023.
 
The main accounting policy and calculation methods applied in the preparation of these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the year 2022 in Note 3. Except for the accounting policies for discontinued operation as discussed below.

 

B.
Use of estimates and judgments
 
The preparation of accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires that the Company’s management makes assumptions regarding circumstances and events that involve considerable uncertainty. The Company’s management prepares the estimates on the basis of past experience, various facts, external circumstances, and reasonable assumptions according to the pertinent circumstances of each estimate. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
 
Further information about the assumptions that were used to determine fair value is included in the following notes:
 
 
Note 6, on other investments;
 
Note 8B, on derivative instrument;
 
Note 9, on share-based payments;
 
Determination of fair value
 
Preparation of the financial statements requires the Company to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities.
 
When determining the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as much as possible. There are three levels of fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy that are based on the data used in the measurement, as follows:
 
 
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly
 
Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

F - 8


 

Note 2 – Basis of preparation of the Financial Statements (cont’d)
 
C.
Functional currency and presentation currency
 
The New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company and its Israeli subsidiary operate, and is therefore the functional currency of their operations. The Euro is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company’s European subsidiaries operate, and is therefore the functional currency of their operations. Nonetheless, for reporting purposes, the consolidated financial statements, which were prepared on the basis of the functional currencies, were translated into US Dollars, which the Company selected as its presentation currency, as its securities are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets, and in order to make the Company’s financial statements more accessible to U.S.-based investors.
 
Assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate of the end of the period; expenses and income were translated at the exchange rate at the time they were generated. Exchange rate differentials generated due to such translation are attributed to the Currency translation differences reserve.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operation
 
A.
Discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative income statement is restated as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the earliest comparative period.
 
B.
In April 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, Peace of Meat, entered bankruptcy proceedings and was appointed a liquidator following cessation of funding by the Company. Peace of Meat was not a discontinued operation as at December 31, 2022, and the comparative data for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022 have been restated in the consolidated income statement to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations. The Company is not aware of any liabilities of the Company to POM's creditors and therefore the Company has not recorded any liabilities in respect of Peace of Meat. As a result of the bankruptcy process, the Company no longer has any ability to manage or control the assets of Peace of Meat. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS 9, the Company estimates the value of Peace of Meat as an asset at USD 0.
 
As of December 31, 2022 the Company estimated the fair value less costs of disposal, of the intangible asset to be zero, as the Company did not identify any potential buyer for this asset. Consequently, as of December 31, 2022 the Company recognized an impairment loss of USD 14,367 thousand for its intangible asset.

A.
Separation Agreement from Therapin
 
The Company entered into a separation agreement with Therapin on May 26, 2020, where it cancelled its previous investment agreement with Therapin and replaced it with a debt arrangement. Therapin committed to paying the Company NIS 40 thousand (approximately USD 11 thousand) per month for 119 months for a total of NIS 4.8 million (approximately USD 1.4 million) plus NIS 2.45 million (approximately USD 0.7 million) to be paid upon an exit event. If Therapin completes an exit event during the payment period, the Company will have the option to receive shares or payment in cash for the remaining balance. If Therapin generates a distributable surplus or distributes a dividend, the Company will receive a portion of it as repayment. During the six months ended 30 June 2023, Therapin experienced delays in payments to the Company in a manner that was not considered a breach of the agreement. The Company received only USD 45 thousand and recorded a re-valuation financing expense in the amount of USD 787 thousand.
 
The Company re-measured the asset using a Level 3 fair value measurement at approximately USD 0.4 million (NIS 1.6 million). The fair value was assessed by capitalization of future cash flows (proceeds) at interest rates that reflect the level of risk (based on the duration of the debt) of these proceeds and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated capitalization interest was based on repayment dates and analysis of the market in which Therapin operates. The Company is not anticipating a Therapin exit event.
 
The Discount Rate as of June 30, 2023, reflects the Company’s management assumption regarding the risks due to the Therapin’s financial difficulties, as mentioned above, and the current market conditions in the cannabis sector in which Therapin operates. Additionally, the Company’s management anticipates that in the event of a bankruptcy of Therapin, which constitutes an acceleration event of the repayment of the loan, there will be insufficient funds to repay the loan to the Company.

On March 30, 2023, the Chairman of the Board, who had waived unvested, out-of-the-money options, was granted restricted share units. The incremental fair value of the grant was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the restricted share units and the net fair value of out-of-the-money options that the Chairman of the Board had waived. The incremental fair value of this grant, amounting to USD 87 thousand, is recognized over the course of 12 quarterly installments. The Chairman was also granted performance share units, which will vest in full upon the achievement of one of the following milestones:

  iii.
engagement with a strategic partner (a corporation operating in the field of food, healthcare, pharmaceuticals or printing) in a joint development agreement to collaborate to develop technology or products for the purpose of later commercialization.
 
As of June 30, 2023, the Company's management assessed the completion percentage of a milestone, leading to the recognition of share-based payment expenses amounting to USD 47 thousand.
 
  (2)

Breakdown of the parameters used for measuring fair value at the date the out-of-the-money options were waived:
 
   
Options
 
 Incremental fair value at the dates the options were waived
 
USD 111 thousand
 
       
   Parameters taken into account in the fair value calculation:
     
   Share price (USD at date awarded)
 
0.68-0.88
 
   Exercise price (USD unlinked)
 
1.96-9.62

97.54%-104.19%
 
   Risk-free interest rate
 
3.78%-4.71%
 
   Expected rate of dividend
 
0%
 
 
The expected volatility (standard deviation) was determined on weighted average share price volatility of similar companies. The estimated contractual term of the options is equal to the remaining contractual life of the option. The risk-free interest rate was based on US bonds, with a duration to maturity equivalent to the remaining useful life of the options. The share price was used according to quoted share prices on Nasdaq.
 
The total expense over the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to approximately USD 0.25 million (NIS 0.9 million) six months ended 30,2022 - USD 1.0 million (NIS 3.4 million), and year ended December 31, 2022 - USD 1.1 million (NIS 3.8 million).

Note 14 – Contingent Liabilities
 
A.
From time to time, the Company may be party to litigation or other legal proceedings that it considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.
 
In November 2020, the Israeli Securities Authority, or ISA, initiated an administrative proceeding claiming negligent misstatement regarding certain immediate and periodic reports published by the Company’s predecessor (Ophectra) during the years 2017 and 2018, prior to the merger with MeaTech and prior to establishment of the settlement fund in connection with the Merger. In February 2021, the trustee of the settlement fund informed the Company that the ISA views the Company as a party to this proceeding, notwithstanding the settlement and establishment of the settlement fund. This proceeding is of an administrative nature and carries a potential penalty in the form of a monetary fine which, under applicable Israeli law, could be as high as NIS 5 million. In April 2021, following negotiations with the ISA, the Company agreed to settle the matter for USD 0.2 million (NIS 0.7 million), for which the Company recorded a provision. The settlement is subject to approval of the ISA’s Enforcement Committee. As similar proceedings with several other companies found the companies not liable, the Company has initiated procedures to obtain a similar finding with respect to the Company, notwithstanding the settlement, however due to lack of certainty with the regard to the outcome of these procedures, the Company has retained the aforementioned provision.
 
B.
In February 2021, a civil claim was lodged against the settlement fund, relating to Ophectra's activities prior to establishment of the settlement fund, in an amount of USD 0.7 million (NIS 2.5 million). The Company believes that it is more likely than not that no final ruling will be decided against the settlement fund.

Note 16 – Financial Instruments
 
 
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit, liquidity and market risks, this note presents qualitative information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, and the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk.
 
A.
Framework for risk management
 
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.
 
The Company’s risk management policy was formulated to identify and analyze the risks that the Company faces, to set appropriate limits for the risks and controls, and to monitor the risks and their compliance with the limits. The risk policy and risk management methods are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in the Company’s operations. The Company acts to develop an effective control environment in which all employees understand their roles and commitment.
 
B.
Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a debtor or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises mainly from the Company’s receivables.
 
The Company restricts exposure to credit risk by investing only in bank deposits.
C.
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
 
This does not take into account the potential effect of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted.
 
The cash surpluses held by the Company that are not required for financing their current activity, are invested in interest-bearing investment channels, such as short-term deposits. These investment channels are chosen by the Company’s management based on future forecasts of the cash the Company will require in order to meet its liabilities.
D.
Market risk
 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, the CPI, interest rates and the prices of equity instruments, will influence the Company’s results or the value of its holdings in financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
 
E.
Fair value
 
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, trade payables and other payables are the same or proximate to their fair value. Changes in CPI affect operational contracts, mainly lease agreements.

2.
On July 24, 2023, the Company announced it had entered into a Memorandum of Agreement for Strategic Cooperation (MOA) with an accredited Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) -based governmental body as Steakholder Foods’ strategic partner, to advance food security efforts through the application of Steakholder Foods’ groundbreaking 3D printing technology. Commencing with an investment by the strategic partner in the construction of a pilot plant to produce printed hybrid-fish products, the MOA eventually aims to create a first-of-its-kind large-scale production facility in the Persian Gulf region. The agreement foresees a material initial down payment to Steakholder Foods for the procurement of its 3D-printer technologies, followed by a milestone-based sales and procurement plan for industrial-scale output.
