NOTE 1 - GENERAL: (Cont.)

 

C.Liquidity

 

The Company has not yet generated significant revenues from its operations. In the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of USD 4,573 thousand and negative cash flows of USD 4,982 thousand from operating activities. Furthermore, the Company has a balance of accumulated losses of USD 99,637 thousand as of June 30, 2022.

 

In the absence of significant revenues and attaining profitability in accordance with the Company’s sales targets, for the purpose of continuing and developing its current operations, management has obtained additional sources of financing during 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 from several external sources, including, among other things, from private and public capital raisings (Note 10C) and available credit lines. See also Note 13 regrding loan withdrawal from EIB subsequent to June 30, 2022.

 

The Company’s plans for expanding its operations include further investments in the production line, increasing manpower and conducting further research and development activities, which may or may not be dependent on additional fund raising. Execution of such plans in the coming year and their pace will be based on existing cash balances and available cash resources from government grants under approved R&D plans and the EIB credit facility.

 

However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful accomplishing these plans. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital it may need to reduce, delay, or adjust its operating expenses, including commercialization of existing products, or be unable to expand its operations as desired. 

 

The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements are sufficient to fund its operating cash flow requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

D.Approval of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended June 30, 2022 were approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on August 10, 2022 and signed on its behalf by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

 

NOTE 2 - THE BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the interim six month periods then ended (hereinafter: “The financial information for the interim period”) were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: “Interim Financial reporting” (hereinafter: “IAS 34”). The financial information for the interim period is presented in a condensed form and does not include all of the information and disclosures that are required within the framework of annual financial statements. The financial information for the interim period should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the accompanying notes thereto, which comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter: “IFRS Standards”), as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”).

NOTE 3 - PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The principal accounting policies and calculation methods, which have been implemented in the preparation of the financial information for the interim period, are consistent with those that were implemented in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the below:

 

Asset held for sale

 

Non-current assets that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction in the next 12 months, that is highly probable, rather than through continued use. Once classified as held for sale, these assets are not subject to depreciation or amortization and are presented among current assets.

 

NOTE 4 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires the Company’s management to exercise judgment and it also requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, which affect the implementation of the Group’s accounting policy and the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities and expenses. The actual results may be different from these estimates.

 

When preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments that were applied by the management in the implementation of the Group’s accounting policy and the uncertainty that is inherent in the key sources of the estimates were identical to those in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD:

 

A.Subsequent to a founders agreement signed on December 21, 2021, the Company, Rani Zim Holdings (Pty) Ltd., (which is an entity wholly owned by one of the Company’s shareholders – Rani Zim) and a Company owned by one of the Company’s directors, established a new joint venture company for the purpose of promoting and marketing energy solutions in Israel which partially will be based on the Company’s energy storage solution: Rani Zim Sustainable Energy Ltd. (incorporated on January 4, 2022; hereinafter – the “JV”)), of which the Company and Rani Zim each hold 45% of its shares (under a joint control arrangement). Under the founder’s agreement, the Company has invested its proportionate share of NIS 233 (approximately USD 74 thousand) for the purpose of financing the first year of the JV’s operations. In April 2022, the parties agreed to put the JV’s opertions on hold, until further notice.

 

 

B.On February 16, 2022, a framework agreement was signed with Philip Morris Products SA for the supply of the Company’s storage systems (bGen), to it and to its affiliated companies. The framework agreement sets out, among other things, the commercial conditions for the provision of the Company’s systems and services, logistical and technical terms as well as engineering, procurement and construction terms. The framework agreement, which is for a period of 5 years, will allow various affiliated international companies with manufacturing plants around the world to contract the Company directly, with adjustments to the size of the systems and integration will be required according to the needs of the local plant.

 

C.Following B above, on Febrary 28, 2022 an agreement was signed with Philip Morris Romania- a Romanian manufacturing company for the purchase of bGen thermal storage system and services under a turn key project, for a consideration in excess of approximately USD 9.2 million. Payment will be made based on milestones. Delivery is expected by the end of 2023.

NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD (cont.):

 

D.During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company and the lessor of the land in Rotem (see Note 8B2 to the annual financial statement), have agreed to Brenmiller Rotem vacating the premisses and the return of the land to the lessor by August 31, 2022. In April 2022, the Company commenced dismantalling the facility, for the purpose of selling its components as scrap and spareparts, and is in negotiations for the sale of the turbine on a stand alone basis (presented as an “asset held for sale” among current assets). Following this, Brenmiller Rotem will cease its operations. Consequently, during the reported period, Brenmiller Rotem derecognized the lease obligation and right of use of the land (see appendix to the statement of cash flows), and recognized “net other income” of USD 38 thousand, after taking into account costs relating to the dismantalling of the facility of USD 42 thousand. A provision for the estimated costs relating to arrear payments to the lessor of USD 215 thousand is presented at June 30, 2022 among current liabilities.

 

E.The Company commenced the consturction of its newly upgraded production facility in Dimona, Israel, which is planned to be fully operational by the end of 2023. Accordingly, the Company has reassessed the period of expected lease term in Dimona to include the option period (2 additonal years) under such lease and recognized an additional USD 449 thousand in respect of the right of use asset and lease liability.

NOTE 10 - EQUITY:

 

A.Following the approval of its shareholders’ at an Annual and Special General Meeting held on February 9, 2022, the Company conducted a reverse stock split of its Ordinary Shares so that every two shares of NIS 0.01 par value were consolidated to one Ordinary Share of NIS 0.02 par value (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split took effect on February 20, 2022. All share data in these financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the above 2 for 1 Reverse Stock Split.

 

B.On February 9, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 25,000 non-marketable share options, exercisable to 25,000 Ordinary Shares of NIS 0.02 of the Company, to an employee of the Company, based on the terms of the 2013 options plan.

 

The estimated value of the above options is NIS 282 thousand (USD 87 thousand, as of approval date), which was calculated according to the Black and Scholes formula, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend 0%, standard deviation 75%, risk-free interest of 0.1% and expected life to exercise of 6 years.

 

C.On May 19, 2022, the Company’s Regstration Statement on F-1 for the re-sale of ordinary shares issued in a private placement with certain investors, became effective with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The listing of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq constitutes compliance with the closing of the second tranche requirements of the securities purchase agreement with such investors, and consequently on May 24, 2022, the Company closed the second tranche of the investment and received the balance of $7.5 million of the $15 million private placement, against the issuance of the Company’s securities to the investors (presented in the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity net of issuance costs of USD 297 thousand). Commencing May 25, 2022, the Company’s shares began trading on Nasdaq and the Company started reporting in accordance, and based on the reporting format, of the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations of the SEC applicable to Foreign Private Issuers, which will also serve for its reporting to the market in Israel.
