NOTE 1: - GENERAL
a.
Pluri Inc. (formally known as Pluristem Therapeutics Inc.), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on May 11, 2001. Pluri Inc.’s common shares trade on Nasdaq Capital Market and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the symbol “PLUR”. Pluri Inc. has a wholly owned subsidiary, Pluri-Biotech Ltd. (formerly known as Pluristem Ltd.) (the “Subsidiary”), which is incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. In January 2020, the Subsidiary established a wholly owned subsidiary, Pluristem GmbH (the “German Subsidiary”) which is incorporated under the laws of Germany. In January 2022, the Subsidiary established a new subsidiary, Ever After Foods Ltd. (“Ever After”) formerly known as Plurinuva Ltd. Ever After is incorporated under the laws of Israel, which followed the execution of the collaboration agreement with Tnuva Food Industries – Agricultural Cooperative in Israel Ltd., through its fully owned subsidiary, Tnuva Food-Tech Incubator (2019), Limited Partnership (“Tnuva”). Pluri Inc., the Subsidiary, the German Subsidiary and Ever After are referred to as the “Company” or “Pluri.” The Subsidiary, the German Subsidiary and Ever After are referred to as the “Subsidiaries.”
b.
The Company is a bio-technology company with an advanced cell-based technology platform, which operates in one operating segment. The Company has developed a unique three-dimensional technology platform for cell expansion with an industrial scale in-house Good Manufacturing Practice cell manufacturing facility. Pluri currently uses its technology in the field of regenerative medicine, food tech and agtech and recently launched a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) business, and plans to utilize its technology in other industries and verticals that have a need for a mass scale and cost-effective cell expansion platform. Pluri is focused on the research, development and manufacturing of cell-based products and the business development of cell therapeutics and cell-based technologies providing potential solutions for various industries.
c. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 414,743 and incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s total shareholders’ equity deficit amounted to $ 356 . During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred losses of $ 15,482 and its negative cash flow from operating activities was $ 13,708 .
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash position (cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, restricted cash and restricted bank deposits) totaled $ 26,917 .
The Company plans to continue to finance its operations from its current
resources, by entering into licensing or other commercial, and collaboration agreements, by providing CDMO services to clients, from grants
and contracts to support its research and development activities and from sales of its equity securities. The Company’s management
believes that its current resources, together with its existing operating plan, are sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations
as they come due at least for a period of twelve months from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
There is no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to obtain the adequate level of financial resources that is required for
the long-term development and commercialization of its products.
d.
Reverse stock split
In March 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-8
reverse stock split of the Company’s (a) authorized common shares; and (b) issued and outstanding common shares. The reverse stock
split became effective on April 1, 2024, subsequent to the balance sheet date. All common shares, options, warrants and securities convertible
or exercisable into common shares, as well as loss per share, have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to this reverse stock split
for all periods presented.

PLURI INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share amounts)
NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments). For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. The year-end balance sheet data was derived
from the audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, but not all disclosures required by GAAP are included.
Operating results for the nine-month
period ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2024.
b. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies
followed in the preparation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the
preparation of the latest annual financial statements.
c. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that are
reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s
financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term bank deposits, long-term bank deposit and restricted
bank deposits and other current assets, trade payable and other accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because
of their generally short-term maturities.
The Company measures its derivative
instruments at fair value under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”
(“ASC 820”). Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
As such, fair value is a market-based
measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a
basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation
methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level
1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level
2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

PLURI INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
U.S. Dollars in thousands (except share and per share amounts)
NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
The fair value hierarchy also requires
an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company
categorized each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels of hierarchy.
On April 30, 2020, the German Subsidiary
entered into a finance contract (the “Finance Contract”) with the EIB, pursuant to which the German Subsidiary can obtain
a loan in the amount of up to € 50 million, subject to certain milestones being reached (the “Loan”).
During June 2021, Pluri received € 20 million
under the Finance Contract. The amount received is due on June 1, 2026 , and bears annual interest of 4 % to be paid with
the principal of the Loan.
The Company measures its liability pursuant
to the Finance Contract with the EIB based on the aggregate outstanding amount of the combined principal and accrued interest thereunder.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company does not reflect its liability for future royalty payments pursuant to the Finance Contract with the
EIB since the accrual liability pertaining to royalties to EIB is immaterial (see also note 4).
e. New Accounting Pronouncements
i.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
ASU No. 2016-13 - “Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”):
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, which changes the impairment
model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans,
and other instruments, entities are required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally results in
the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance also requires increased disclosures. The amendments contained in ASU 2016-13
were originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years
for the Company. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller
reporting companies (as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules) to fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2022, including interim periods.
The guidance requires a modified retrospective
transition approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company
meets the SEC definition of a smaller reporting company and adopted the new accounting standard effective July 1, 2023. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ii.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted
ASU No. 2023-07 - “Segment
Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to reportable segment disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”):
In November 2023, the FASB issued
ASU 2023-07. This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment
expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit
or loss, an amount and description of its composition of other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s
profit or loss and assets. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
The amendments should be applied
retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine
the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

ASU No. 2023-09 - “Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”):
In December 2023, the FASB issued
ASU 2023-09. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in
ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and regarding
income tax paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024
on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retroactive application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance
to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
NOTE 3: - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a. As of March 31, 2024, an amount of $ 910 of cash and deposits was pledged by the Subsidiary for bank guarantees related to its facility operating lease agreement and to secure its credit line for hedging transactions.
b. Under the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984, (the “Research Law”), research and development programs that meet specified criteria and are approved by the IIA are eligible for grants of up to 50 % of the project’s expenditures, as determined by the research committee, in exchange for the payment of royalties from the sale of products developed under the program. Regulations under the Research Law generally provide for the payment of royalties to the IIA of 3 % on sales of products and services derived from a technology developed using these grants until 100 % of the U.S. dollar-linked grant is repaid. The Company’s obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on its actual sale of such products and services. In the absence of such sales, no payment is required. The outstanding balance of the grants will be subject to interest at a rate equal to the 12-month LIBOR (from January 1, 2024, to the 12-month SOFR) applicable to U.S. dollar deposits that is published on the first business day of each calendar year. Following the full repayment of the grant, there is no further liability for royalties.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s
contingent liability in respect to royalties to the IIA amounted to $ 27,746 , not including LIBOR (from January 1, 2024, SOFR) interest
as described above.
