Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - General

NewStem Ltd. (“the Company”) was incorporated in September 2016 under the laws of the State of Israel and commenced its business operations in July 2018.

The Company is a development stage company utilizing its pioneering intellectual property related to haploid human embryonic stem cells for the development of personalized diagnostics and therapeutics for genetic and epigenetic diseases.

Since inception, the Company has accumulated losses of US$8,575 thousand. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance is US$407 thousand, and the net cash used in operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, is US$471 thousand.

The Company will need to obtain additional funds to continue its operations over the next 12 months. Management’s plans with regard to these matters include continued development, marketing and licensing of its products, as well as seeking additional financing arrangements. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient cash from sales, licensing or financing on terms acceptable to the Company. See also Note 5A regarding the Convertible Loan Agreement which was not executed. The Company’s management has adopted a cost reduction plan in order to adjust future operation expenses to its cash balance and is considering further reductions.

The Company may incur difficulties to continue to operate its business and there is a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern during the look-forward period. The condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 - Events during the period

Convertible Loan Agreement

On March 20, 2023, the Company signed a Convertible Loan Agreement (“the Loan” or “the Agreement”) in the amount of US$200 thousands which bear simple interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, paid in kind. At the end of a period of 24 months after the date on which the loan funds are provided or in M&A Event, the Loan together with the accrued interest (“Outstanding Amount”) shall convert into shares of the Company’s then most senior class of shares at the price per share paid by the investors in the last financing.

If the Company obtains financing at an earlier date, then the Outstanding Amount shall convert into shares of the Company’s most senior class as shall be issued in such financing transaction, at a price per share equal to 75% of the lowest price per share paid by the investors participating in the financing.

In an event of liquidation only (as defined in the Agreement), the interest rate shall increase to 20% per annum.

As of the date of the approval of the condensed interim financial statements, the lender didn’t transfer the Loan and as such the Agreement was not executed.

Sub-License Agreement

On December 23, 2022, The Company signed a Sub-License Agreement (the “Agreement”), which entered into effect in January 2023, for a sub-license of the Company’s intellectual property related to Fragile X Syndrome (“IP”).

In consideration for the grant of each period of the sub-license, the Company will be entitled to license fees of a lump sum of US$95 thousands for years 1-5 (“First License Period”), US$50 thousand per year for years 6-7, US$100 thousand per year for year 8 and onwards. The Company is also entitled for reimbursement of patent costs that were incurred in the past relating the intellectual property, of approximately $24 thousand and will entitled for reimbursement of future patent costs. These reimbursements will be accounted for as reduction of General and administrative expenses.

In addition, the Company will be entitled to royalties upon future sales of products that are based on the Company’s licensed intellectual property at a rate of 3.5% of the net sales or 50% of sales-based sub-license income, sublicense fees at a rate of up to 13.2% - 22.0% of sublicense consideration, subject to certain terms, as outlined in the Agreement. Moreover, the Company is entitled to certain future milestones payments, partly based on sales and partly based on reaching Phase III clinical trials. The Company also received a right to receive a fee equal to 0.5% of the customer’s exit consideration (“Exit Fee”), which will be received upon an exit event of the customer, as defined in the Agreement. Based on the estimated date of the customer’s exit event and the discount rate used to calculate the current value of the Exit Fee, the fair value of the Exit Fee as of the inception date of the Agreement was considered to be immaterial. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Exit Fee will be recorded as financial income. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Exit Fee was considered to be immaterial.

In addition, according to this Agreement, it was acknowledged that the Company received US$200 thousand to support certain research activities (performed and accounted for during 2022), and will acquire certain services from the customer for US$100 thousand to evaluate the toxicity of potential drugs candidates.

The Company views granting of licenses and sublicenses as outputs of its ordinary business activities, and recipients of such licenses as customers. Thus, the Company considered this Agreement to be in the scope of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company determined that the customer has received rights of use of the IP, which are functional in nature, since the Company will not perform any activities to change functionality of the IP during the terms of the sub-license. As prescribed by ASC 606, revenue from right to use IP is recognized at a point in time, when the customer receives access to the IP. The Company did not identify a promise to provide future services in the Agreement, and hence the rights to use the IP are the only performance obligations in the Agreement.

Therefore, the Company recognized revenues of $95 thousand in the six-month period ending June 30, 2023, for the First License Period. Sales-based royalties and milestone payments dependent of future sales will be recognized upon the occurrence of applicable future sales, under the royalty exception. Other milestone payments are currently fully constrained under the variable consideration guidance.
