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
the 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.), or the Subsidiary, which is incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel.
In January 2020, the Subsidiary established a wholly owned German Subsidiary, Pluristem GmbH, or the German Subsidiary which is incorporated
under the laws of Germany. In January 2022, the Subsidiary established a new subsidiary, Ever After Foods Ltd., or Ever After Foods
(formerly known as Plurinuva Ltd.). Ever After Foods is incorporated under the laws of Israel, which followed the execution of the
collaboration agreement with Tnuva Food Industries – Agricultural Co-Operative in Israel Ltd., through its fully owned subsidiary,
Tnuva Food-Tech Incubator (2019), Limited Partnership, or Tnuva. In March 2024, the Subsidiary established a new wholly owned subsidiary,
Coffeesai Ltd., or Coffeesai which is incorporated under the laws of Israel, to develop cultivated coffee. Pluri Inc., the Subsidiary,
the German Subsidiary, Ever After Foods and Coffeesai are referred to as the “Company” or “Pluri.” The Subsidiary,
the German Subsidiary, Coffeesai and Ever After Foods 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 technology and agricultural technology
and launched a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization, or CDMO, business and plans to utilize its technology in 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 $ 429,310 and incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s total shareholders’ deficit amounted to $ 8,028 . During the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred losses of $ 9,146 and its negative cash flow from operating activities was $ 8,692 .
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balances (cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, restricted cash and restricted bank deposits) totaled $ 22,374 .
The Company plans to continue to finance its operations from its current resources, by entering into licensing or other commercial, partnerships 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 (see note 7).
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 interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. During 2024, the Company also implemented a cost reduction and efficiency plan. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required for the long-term development and commercialization of its products. In the case the Company is unable to obtain the required level of financing, operations may need to be scaled down or discontinued.
On April 30, 2020, the German Subsidiary entered into a finance contract,
or the Finance Contract, with the EIB, pursuant to which the German Subsidiary obtained a loan in an amount of € 20 million,
or the Loan. The amount received is due on June 1, 2026 and bears an annual interest of 4 % to be paid with the principal of the Loan.
The Company is currently in discussions with the EIB regarding a potential restructuring of the terms of the loan, however there is no
certainty that such restructuring will be achieved. As of December 31, 2024, the linked principal and interest accrued balance was of
$ 23,798 and is presented among long-term liabilities (see note 4).

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, or 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, 2024. The
year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, but not all disclosures
required by GAAP are included.
Operating
results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending June 30, 2025.
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 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, or ASC 820; “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, or 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.
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.
The
Company measures its liability pursuant to the Finance Contract based on the aggregate outstanding amount of the combined principal and
accrued interest thereunder. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not reflect its liability for future royalty payments pursuant
to the Finance Contract with the EIB since the royalty payments are to be paid as a percentage of the Company’s future consolidated
revenues, pro-rated to the amount disbursed, beginning in fiscal year 2024 and until fiscal year 2030 (see note 4).

e. Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted
ASU
No. 2023-07 - “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to reportable segment disclosures”, or ASU 2023-07:
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or 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 are 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”, or 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 investors’ requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes
to the tax rate reconciliation and regarding income tax paid both in the United States and in 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.
ASU 2024-03 - “Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income
- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures”, or ASU 2024-03:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 - which requires more
detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization,
and depletion), which are included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about
selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements
issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) 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.

3: - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a. As of December 31, 2024, an amount of $ 1,061 of cash and deposits was pledged by the Subsidiary and Ever After Foods to secure its credit line, lease agreement, derivative and hedging and bank guarantees.
b. Under the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development,
1984, or 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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR (before January 1, 2024, to the 12-month London
Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR) 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 December 31, 2024, the Company’s contingent liability in respect to royalties to the IIA amounted to $ 27,565 , not including LIBOR (from January 1, 2024, SOFR) interest as described above.
c. In April 2017, the Company was awarded a Smart Money grant of approximately $ 229 from Israel’s Ministry of Economy and Industry to facilitate certain marketing and business development activities with respect to its advanced cell therapy products in the Chinese market, including Hong Kong. The Israeli government granted the Company budget resources that are intended to be used to advance the Company’s product candidate towards marketing in the China-Hong Kong markets. The Company will also receive support from Israel’s trade representatives stationed in China, including Hong Kong, along with experts appointed by the Smart Money program. As part of the program, the Company will repay royalties of 5 % from the Company’s revenues in the region for a five-year period, beginning the year in which the Company will not be entitled to reimbursement of expenses under the program and will be spread for a period of up to 5 years or until the amount of the grant is fully paid.

(4) Nasdaq Deficiency Letter:
On November 25, 2024, the Company, received a deficiency letter, or the Nasdaq Letter, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $ 2,500 in shareholders’ equity for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or the Shareholders’ Equity Requirement, nor was it in compliance with either of the alternative listing standards, market value of listed securities of at least $ 35,000 or net income of $ 500 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year, or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.
On January 6, 2025, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance, or the Compliance Plan. Based on the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq has determined to grant the Company an extension of time to regain compliance with the Shareholders’ Equity Requirement until May 24, 2025. If the Company fails to evidence compliance by the required deadline, the Company may be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing.
Neither the Nasdaq Letter nor the Company’s noncompliance have an immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PLUR”.
