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. |

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.
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. |

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.
| c. | In September 2017, the Company signed an agreement with the Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital) to conduct a Phase I/II trial of PLX-PAD cell therapy for the treatment of Steroid-Refractory Chronic Graft-Versus-Host-Disease (“cGVHD”). As part of the agreement with Ichilov Hospital, the Company will pay royalties of 1% from its net sales of the PLX-PAD product relating to cGVHD, with a maximum aggregate royalty amount of approximately $500. |
|
d. |
As to royalties to the EIB, see note 4. |
NOTE 4: - LOAN FROM THE EIB
On April 30, 2020, the German Subsidiary
entered into a 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, for a period of 36 months from the signing of the Finance Contract.
During June 2021, Pluri received €20
million of 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. As of March 31, 2024, the linked principal balance in the amount of $21,620 and the interest accrued in the amount of $2,445
are presented among long-term liabilities. Since the project period ended on December 31, 2022, the Company does not expect to receive
additional funds pursuant to the Finance Contract.
In addition to interest payable on the
Loan, the EIB is entitled to receive royalties from revenues for a period of seven years starting at the beginning of fiscal year 2024
and continuing up to and including its fiscal year 2030 in an amount equal to between 0.2% to 2.3% of the Company’s consolidated
revenues, pro-rated to the amount disbursed from the Loan. As of March 31, 2024, the accrual liability pertaining to royalties to EIB
is immaterial.
The Finance Contract also contains certain
limitations such as the use of proceeds received from the EIB, limitations related to disposal of assets, substantive changes in the nature
of the Company’s business, changes in holding structure, distributions of future potential dividends and engaging with other banks
and financing entities for other loans.

Overview
We are a biotechnology company
with an advanced cell-based technology platform. We have developed a unique three-dimensional, or 3D, technology platform for cell expansion
with an industrial scale in-house Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, cell manufacturing facility. We are utilizing our technology in
the field of regenerative medicine, food tech, Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization, or CDMO, and agtech and plan to utilize
it in industries and verticals that have a need for our mass scale and cost-effective cell expansion platform.
Our operations are focused
on the research, development and manufacturing of cells and cell-based products, and business development of cell therapeutics and cell-based
technologies and cell-based products.
Cell Therapy
We use our advanced cell-based
technology platform in the field of regenerative medicine to develop placenta-based cell therapy product candidates for the treatment
of inflammatory, muscle injuries and hematologic conditions. Our PLX cells are adherent stromal cells that are expanded using our 3D platform. Our
PLX cells can be administered to patients off-the-shelf, without blood or tissue matching or additional manipulation prior to administration.
PLX cells are believed to release a range of therapeutic proteins in response to the patient’s condition.
In the pharmaceutical area,
we have focused on several indications utilizing our product candidates, including, but not limited to, muscle recovery following surgery
for hip fracture, incomplete recovery following bone marrow transplantation, critical limb ischemia, or CLI, Chronic Graft versus Host
Disease and a potential treatment for Hematopoietic Acute Radiation Syndrome, or H-ARS. Some of these studies have been completed while
others are still ongoing. We believe that each of these indications is a severe unmet medical need.
In July 2023, we announced
that we signed a three-year $4.2 million contract with the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, or NIAID, which
is part of the NIH. Under such contract, we will collaborate with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Armed Forces Radiobiology Research
Institute, or AFRRI, and the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, or USUHS, in Maryland, U.S.A., to further advance the development
of our PLX-R18 cell therapy as a potential novel treatment for H-ARS, a deadly disease that can result from nuclear disasters and radiation
exposure.
In April 2024, we unveiled
a novel method for expansion of immune cells using proprietary technology and announced we were granted a new U.S. patent titled, “System
and Methods for Immune Cells Expansion and Activation in Large Scale”. This innovative approach ensures that the produced immune
cells retain their integrity, functionality, and therapeutic efficacy, thus offering a promising solution to meet the escalating demand
for advanced cell-based therapies for immune disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
In May 2024, we launched a novel immunotherapy platform based on Placental
Mucosal Associated Invariant T, or MAIT, cell for solid tumors – a significant medical need which currently lacks effective treatments.
We believe that our MAIT platform, isolated from the human placenta, offers substantial potential
benefits compared to conventional T cells. Our MAIT cells are potent effector cells, potentially targeting tumors through multiple mechanisms
while expressing high levels of various chemokine receptors, which facilitate their migration directly to tumor sites. Furthermore, unlike
conventional T cells typically collected from peripheral blood, our MAIT cells demonstrate a lower alloreactivity profile. This characteristic
not only minimizes their likelihood of inducing Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) - a significant advantage over other potential allogeneic
products - but also suggests that they may persist in the body for a longer duration, enhancing their therapeutic efficacy.
PluriCDMO™
On January 8, 2024, we
announced that we are launching a new business division offering cell therapy manufacturing services as a CDMO: PluriCDMO™. PluriCDMO™
offers services relating to early preclinical development, through late-stage clinical trials and commercialization, with a mission to
deliver high-quality, essential therapies to patients.
AgTech
On
January 23, 2024, we announced that we are launching cell-based coffee business activity through a new business vertical, PluriAgtech.
PluriAgtech’s new cell-based coffee business activity is leveraged by Pluri’s 3D cell expansion and has been developed to
address the growing global demand for sustainable, high-quality coffee at mass scale production.
We
signed an innovative proof of concept collaboration with ICL Group, a leading global specialty minerals company, to revolutionize bio
stimulant delivery and enhance yield sustainably.
In
March 2024, we announced an important expansion to our intellectual property portfolio with a new patent approval from the Israel Patent
Office, that is designed to reshape the agricultural technology landscape. The patent represents a major breakthrough in our proprietary
3D bioreactor technology, enabling efficient cultivation of plant cells across various applications, from sustainable agriculture to
critical healthcare solutions.
Food Tech
On January 5, 2022, we signed
definitive collaboration agreements with Tnuva Food Industries – Agricultural Cooperative in Israel Ltd., through its fully owned
subsidiary, Tnuva Food-Tech Incubator (2019), Limited Partnership, or Tnuva. Under the definitive collaboration agreements, or the Joint
Venture Agreement, we established a new company, Ever After, with the purpose of developing cultivated meat products of all types and
kinds. Ever After is engaged in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of technology, know-how and products that will be
based on licensed products relating to the field of cultivated meat.
Our joint venture successfully
completed proof of concept in its development of cultivated meat based on our cell-based technology platform. Ever After is also using
PluriMatrix for producing cultivated meat.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE AND NINE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023.
Revenues
Revenues for each of the nine-month
and three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 were $230,000 and $71,000, respectively, as compared to $176,000 and $87,000, respectively,
during the nine-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2023. Revenues for the nine-month and three-month periods ended March 31,
2024 were mainly related to services provided to CDMO clients and revenues related to a proof of concept collaboration with ICL Group
in the agtech field. Revenues for the nine-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 were mainly related to our collaboration
in the biologic field. The increase in revenues is mainly attributed to the launch of new business verticals, specifically in the CDMO
and agtech field.
Research and Development Expenses, Net
Research and development,
or R&D, expenses, net (costs less participation by the IIA, Horizon Europe and the NIAID) for the nine-month period ended March 31,
2024 decreased by 26% from $12,223,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023 to $9,051,000. The decrease is mainly attributed
to: (1) a decrease in clinical studies expenses following the completion of our CLI, COVID-19 and muscle regeneration following hip fracture
clinical studies, (2) a decrease in salaries and related expenses due to the exchange rate differences related to the strength of the
U.S. dollar against the NIS, reduction in head count of 16 R&D employees (91 R&D employees on March 31, 2024, compared to 107
R&D employees on March 31, 2023) and as a result of our cost reduction and efficiency plans and (3) participation grants from the
NIAID contract, partially offset by a decrease in other participation grants, specifically the completion of the Horizon 2020 program.
R&D expenses, net (costs
less participation by the IIA, Horizon Europe and the NIAID) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 decreased by 26% from $4,167,000
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 to $3,094,000. The decrease is mainly attributed to the same reasons described in the
preceding paragraph.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative
expenses for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024 decreased by 16% from $8,655,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023
to $7,303,000 mainly due to: (1) a decrease in salaries and related expenses due to the exchange rate differences relates to the strength
of the U.S. dollar against the NIS and as a result of our cost reduction and efficiency plan, (2) the reduction of our CEO’s salary,
whereby he waived 75% of his salary and converted it to restricted stock units, or RSUs, and options, from January 2023 through December
2023, (3) a decrease in premium expenses related to our directors and officers insurance policy, and (4) a decrease in share-based compensation
expenses related RSU expenses amortization over time.
General and administrative
expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 decreased by 17% from $3,020,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023
to $2,511,000 mainly due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses related to employee terminations and RSU expenses amortization
over time, partially offset by increased expenses related to corporate activities such as investor relations and public relations.
Other Financial Income (expenses), net
Other financial income (expenses),
net, changed from ($956,000) in financial expenses for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023 to $1,290,000 in financial income for
the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024. This change is mainly attributed to a decrease in exchange rate differences expenses related
to the European Investment Bank, or EIB, loan following fluctuation between the U.S. dollar against the EURO, exchange rates income related
to NIS deposits following the strength of the U.S. dollar against the NIS, and from increased income related to interest on deposits,
due to an increase in interest rates and income from hedging transactions.
Other financial income (expenses),
net, changed from ($441,000) in financial expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 to $362,000 in financial income for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This change is mainly attributable to a reduction in exchange rate differences expenses related
to the EIB loan following fluctuation between the U.S. dollar against the EURO, and increased income related to interest on deposits,
due to an increase in interest rates.
Interest Expenses
Interest expenses related
to our outstanding loan received from the EIB and all changes during the nine-month and three-months periods ended March 31, 2024 versus
March 31, 2023 are attributable solely to exchange rate differences of Euro versus the U.S. dollar.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine-month
and three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 was $15,482,000 and $5,390,000, respectively, as compared to net loss of $22,281,000 and
$7,758,000 for the nine-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to a decrease in general and administrative
expenses and R&D expenses, as part of the implementation of our business strategy, our efforts to reduce costs pursuant to an efficiency
plan, and due to an increase in income due to the launch of new businesses such as CDMO and agtech. Net loss per share attributed to shareholders
for the nine-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 was $2.92 and $1.01, respectively, as compared to $5.04 and $1.52 for
the nine-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2023. We had net loss attributed to our non-controlling interest in Ever After
for the nine-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 of $323,000 and $97,000, respectively.
For the nine-month and three-month
periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had weighted average common shares outstanding of 5,193,808, 5,221,162 and 4,402,130, 4,993,451,
respectively, which were used in the computations of net loss per share for the nine-month and three-month periods.
The increase in weighted average
common shares outstanding reflects the issuance of additional shares pursuant to a private placement offering we conducted in December
2022, or the December 2022 Private Placement, and the issuance of additional shares upon the vesting of RSUs and restricted shares issued
to directors, employees and consultants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024, our
total current assets were $27,367,000 and total current liabilities were $4,526,000. On March 31, 2024, we had a working capital surplus
of $22,841,000, total equity of $1,845,000, out of which $2,201,000 is attributed to the non-controlling interest in Ever After, and an
accumulated deficit of $414,743,000.
Our cash and cash equivalents
as of March 31, 2024 amounted to $7,081,000, compared to $3,677,000 as of March 31, 2023, and compared to $5,360,000 as of June 30, 2023.
Cash balances changed in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2023 for the reasons presented
below.
Net cash used for operating
activities was $13,708,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $19,960,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The
decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease in net loss following the completion of clinical studies and the implementation of our cost
reduction and efficiency plan, including a temporary reduction in the scope of roles and salaries of executive officers. Cash used in
operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted primarily of payments to suppliers, subcontractors, professional
services providers and consultants, and payments of salaries to our employees, partially offset by grants from the IIA, the Horizon Europe
program, and funds received from the NIAID contract.
Investing activities provided
cash of $15,389,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to cash provided of $5,374,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
2023. The investing activities in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 consisted primarily of the withdrawal
of short-term deposits, net of $15,702,000 and $5,539,000, respectively.
We had no financing activities
in the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The cash provided in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 by financing activities was related
to net proceeds of $8,034,000 related to issuances of common shares and warrants, net of issuance cost that were paid in cash, in the
December 2022 Private Placement.
Between December 13, 2022
and December 27, 2022, we entered into a series of securities purchase agreements with several purchasers for an aggregate of 1,019,488
common shares and warrants, or the Warrants, to purchase up to 1,019,488 common shares. On December 13, 2022, we executed securities purchase
agreements to sell, at a purchase price of $8.24 per share, up to 697,486 common shares and Warrants to purchase up to 697,486 common
shares, with an exercise price of $8.24 per share and a term of three years. On December 14, 2022, we executed securities purchase agreements
to sell, at a purchase price of $8.40 per share, up to 258,565 common shares and Warrants to purchase up to 258,565 common shares, with
an exercise price of $8.40 per share and a term of three years. On December 15, 2022, we executed securities purchase agreements to sell,
at a purchase price of $8.48 per share, up to 29,688 common shares and Warrants to purchase up to 29,688 common shares, with an exercise
price of $8.48 per share and a term of three years. On December 19, 2022, we executed a securities purchase agreement to sell, at a purchase
price of $8.72 per share, up to 16,875 common shares and Warrants to purchase up to 16,875 common shares, with an exercise price of $8.72
per share and a term of three years. On December 27, 2022, we executed a securities purchase agreement to sell, at a purchase price of
$8.96 per share, up to 16,875 common shares and Warrants to purchase up to 16,875 common shares, with an exercise price of $8.96 per share
and a term of three years. The Company issued 1,019,488 common shares and warrants that relate to the December 2022 Private Placement
and received $8,034,000 as of that date net of $435,000 from issuance expenses.
The Warrants sold in the December
2022 Private Placement were exercisable upon the later of six months from their issuance date, or from the date we increased our authorized
shares. On April 27, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized
common shares from 7,500,000 shares to 37,500,000 shares and such increase was effectuated on May 1, 2023 when the Company filed its amendment
to its articles of incorporation reflecting such increase. As such, the Warrants became exercisable on May 1, 2023.
On December 14, 2022, Yaky
Yanay, our Chief Executive Officer, agreed to forgo, starting January 1, 2023, $375,000 of his annual cash salary for the next twelve
months in return for equity grants, issuable under our existing equity compensation plans. In that regard, we granted Mr. Yanay (i) 41,853
RSUs, vesting ratably each month, and (ii) options to purchase 41,853 common shares, vesting ratably each month, with a term of 3 years,
at an exercise price of $8.96 per share. In addition, the Board of Directors also agreed to grant Mr. Yanay options to purchase 187,500
common shares, with a term of 3 years, with the following terms: (i) options to purchase 62,500 common shares at an exercise price of
$12.48 per share, 50% vesting on June 30, 2023 and 50% vesting on December 31, 2023, (ii) options to purchase 62,500 common shares at
an exercise price of $16.64 per share, 50% vesting on June 30, 2023 and 50% vesting on December 31, 2023, and (iii) options to purchase
62,500 common shares at an exercise price of $20.8 per share, 50% vesting on June 30, 2023 and 50% vesting on December 31, 2023. All options
were granted in January 2023 and will expire three years from the later of the vesting date or the date which the Company increased its
authorized share capital.
In
December 2023, in light of the ongoing conflict in Israel and challenges in predicting its resolution and the subsequent impact on the
Company’s operations, and in order to ensure the Company’s financial stability, the Board approved, at the recommendation
of the Company’s management, (i) a 20% monthly cash salary reduction in the amount of 39,600 NIS to Mr. Yanay, our Chief Executive
Officer, or CEO, for the months of January 2024 and February 2024, (ii) a 20% cash salary reduction in the amount of 39,000 NIS to Mrs.
Franco – Yehuda, our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, for the months of December 2023, January 2024 and February 2024, and (iii)
a 20% monthly fee reduction to the fees that are paid to each of the Company’s directors for the months of December 2023 through
February 2024.
In April 2020, we and
our subsidiaries, Pluri Biotech Ltd. and Pluristem GmbH, executed the EIB Finance Agreement for non–dilutive funding of up to €50
million in the aggregate, payable in three tranches. The proceeds from the EIB Finance Agreement were intended to support our research
and development in the European Union to further advance our regenerative cell therapy platform, and to bring the products in our pipeline
to market. The term of the project was three years commencing on January 1, 2020.
During June 2021, we received
the first tranche in the amount of €20 million pursuant to the EIB Finance Agreement. The amount received is due to be repaid on
June 1, 2026 and bears annual interest of 4% to be paid together with the principal of the loan. As of March 31, 2024, the interest accrued
was in the amount of €2,263,000. In addition to the interest payable, the EIB is also entitled to royalty payments, pro-rated to
the amount disbursed from the EIB loan, on the Company’s consolidated revenues beginning in the fiscal year 2024 up to and including
its fiscal year 2030, in an amount equal to up to 2.3% of the Company’s consolidated revenues below $350 million, 1.2% of the Company’s
consolidated revenues between $350 million and $500 million and 0.2% of the Company’s consolidated revenues exceeding $500 million.
As the project term ended on December 31, 2022, we do not expect to receive additional funds pursuant to the EIB Finance Agreement.
According to the IIA grant
terms, we are required to pay royalties at a rate of 3% on sales of products and services derived from technology developed using this
and other IIA grants until 100% of the dollar-linked grants amount plus interest are repaid. In the absence of such sales, no payment
is required. Through March 31, 2024, total grants obtained from the IIA aggregated to approximately $27,925,000 and total royalties paid
and accrued amounted to $179,000.
In
June 2020, we announced that we were selected as a member of the CRISPR-IL consortium, a group funded by the IIA. CRISPR-IL brings together
the leading experts in life science and computer science from academia, medicine, and industry, to develop Artificial Intelligence, or
AI, based end-to-end genome-editing solutions. These next-generation, multi-species genome editing products for human, plant, and animal
DNA, have applications in the pharma, agriculture, and aquaculture industries. CRISPR-IL is funded by the IIA with a total budget of approximately
$10,000,000 of which, an amount of approximately $480,000 was a direct grant allocated to us, for the initial period of 18 months. During
October 2021, we received an approval for an additional grant of approximately $583,000 from the IIA pursuant to the CRISPR-IL consortium
program, for an additional period of eighteen months. During January 2023, we received approval for an extension of an additional 2 months
to finish the program until June 30, 2023. The CRISPR-IL consortium program does not include any obligation to pay royalties.
Through
March 31, 2024, we received total grants of approximately $775,000 in cash from the IIA pursuant to the CRISPR-IL consortium program and
we expect to receive an additional $250,000; no amount was received during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
On
September 6, 2022, we announced that a €7.5 million non-dilutive grant from the European Union’s Horizon program was awarded
to Advanced PeRsOnalized Therapies for Osteoarthritis (PROTO), an international collaboration led by Charité Berlin Institute of
Health Center for Regenerative Therapies. The goal of the PROTO project is to utilize our PLX-PAD cells in a Phase I/IIa study for the
treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. An amount of approximately Euro 500,000 (approximately $540,000) will be a direct grant
that will be allocated to us. Through March 31, 2024, we received a payment of approximately $185,000 in cash, which relates to the PROTO
program.
The
Phase I/II study will be carried out by Charité, together with us and other members of the international consortium under the leadership
of Professor Tobias Winkler, Principal Investigator, at the Berlin Institute of Health Center of Regenerative Therapies, Julius Wolff
Institute and Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery. The initiation of the PROTO clinical study is subject to regulatory approval which has
not yet been received.
On
July 11, 2023, we signed a three-year $4,200,000 contract with the NIAID, which is part of the NIH. We will collaborate with the U.S.
Department of Defense’s, or DoD’s, AFRRI and USUHS to further advance the development of our PLX-R18 cell therapy as a potential
novel treatment for H-ARS. H-ARS is a deadly disease that can result from nuclear disasters and radiation exposure. The period of performance
of this contract will be from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, which may be extended for an additional two-year period. As of March
31, 2024, we have received from the NIAID approximately $790,000 and as of March 31 2024 we expect to receive an additional amount of
approximately $162,000 for activities conducted by that date.
On February 13, 2024, we entered
into a sales agreement, or the Sales Agreement, with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, or A.G.P., as agent, pursuant to which we may issue
and sell our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000, from time to time through A.G.P. As of May 9, 2024,
we have sold an aggregate of 42,729 common shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement at an average price of $5.93 per share.
We have an effective
Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-273347), filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC using a “shelf”
registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell our common shares, preferred stock and warrants
to purchase common shares, and of two or more of such securities, in one or more offerings for an aggregate initial offering price of
$200,000,000 (including amounts sold under the Sales Agreement).
The currency of our financial
portfolio is mainly in U.S. dollars and we use options contracts and other financial instruments in order to hedge our exposures to currencies
other than the U.S. dollar. For more information, please see Item 7A. - “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”
in the 2023 Annual Report.
Outlook
We have accumulated a deficit
of $414,743,000 since our inception in May 2001. We do not expect to generate any significant revenues from sales of products in the next
twelve months. We expect to generate revenues, from collaborations and sales of licenses to use our technology or products, but in the
short and medium terms these will unlikely exceed our costs of operations.
We may be required to obtain
additional liquidity resources in order to support the commercialization of our products and technology and maintain our research and
development activities.
We are continually looking
for sources of funding, including non-diluting sources such as collaboration with other companies via licensing agreements, service agreements
under our CDMO business, joint venture and partnerships, R&D contracts such as our agreement with the NIAID, research grants such
as the IIA grants and the European Union grant, and sales of our common shares.
We believe that we have sufficient cash to fund our operations for
at least the next twelve months.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures - We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed for the purposes of ensuring
that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and
our CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of the end of the period
covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting - There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the third
quarter of fiscal year 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you
should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report, which
could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Failure to meet Nasdaq’s
continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our common shares, negatively impact the price of our common shares and
negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital.
As of March 31, 2024, our shareholders’ deficit totaled $356.
The minimum shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)
requires listed companies to maintain shareholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. As a result, we do not believe we are in compliance
with the shareholders’ equity standard and anticipate receiving a deficiency letter from Nasdaq. Upon receipt of such deficiency
letter, we will have a period of time to resolve such deficiency and, if necessary, will have the opportunity to present a plan to regain
compliance.
There can be no assurance
that Nasdaq will accept our plan to regain compliance or that we will meet the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement during
any compliance period, if one is provided to us. If our common shares are de-listed from Nasdaq, it will have material negative impact
on the actual and potential liquidity of our securities, as well as material negative impact on our ability to raise future capital.
If, for any reason, Nasdaq
should delist our common shares from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange
or take action to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, a reduction in some or all of the following
may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders:
| ● | the
liquidity of our common shares; |
| ● | the
market price of our common shares; |
| ● | our
ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations; |
| ● | the
number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our common shares; |
| ● | the
number of investors in general that will consider investing in our common shares; |
| ● | the
number of market makers in our Common Shares; |
| ● | the
availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common shares; and |
| ● | the
number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common shares. |
We conduct our operations
in Israel. Conditions in Israel, including the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations
from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
Our offices are located in
Haifa, Israel, thus, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists
infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also
launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip
and in other areas within the State of Israel. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and
the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for active duty. At the same time, and because of the war declaration against Hamas,
the clash between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has escalated to an armed conflict and there is a possibility that it will turn into
a greater regional conflict in the future.
As of today, there is no material
impact on the Company’s operations. According to the recent guidelines of the Israeli government, the Company’s offices are
open and functioning as usual. However, if the war will escalate and expand further to the Northern border with Lebanon, and the Israeli
government will impose additional restrictions on movement and travel, our management and employees’ ability to effectively perform
their daily tasks might be temporarily disrupted, which may result in delays in some of our projects.
The Company currently has
the supply of raw materials needed for its regular operations. While there may be some possible delays in supply, those are currently
not anticipated to be material to the Company’s operations. However, if the war continues for a significant amount of time, this
situation may change.
Any hostilities involving
Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region, or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport
between Israel and its trading partners could make it more difficult for us to raise capital, if needed in the future, and adversely affect
our operations and results of operations and the market price of our common shares. In addition, to the extent the IIA no longer makes
grants similar to those we have received in the past, it could adversely affect our financial results.
Our insurance does not cover
damage or losses that may occur as a result of the current war by Israel against Hamas. Although the Israeli government is currently committed
to covering the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this
government coverage will be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or
damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Further, many Israeli citizens
are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases, more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of
40 (or older for certain reservists) and, in the event of an escalated military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to
the series of attacks on civilian and military targets in October 2023, there have been significant call-ups of military reservists. During
the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, three of our employees in military service have been called up. However, if there will be call-ups
for reservists in our Company, our operations could be disrupted by such call-ups.
It is currently not possible
to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business, operations and financial condition. The ongoing
conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt our business and operations, and adversely affect our ability to raise
additional funds or sell our securities, among other impacts.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During
the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, we issued an aggregate of 7,867 restricted common shares to certain of our service providers as
compensation in lieu of cash compensation owed to them for services rendered.
We
claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for the foregoing transactions
under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
A director or officer
of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director or officer, but this article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (i) acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law or (ii) the unlawful payment of dividends. Any repeal or modification
of this article by stockholders of the corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal
liability of a director or officer of the corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification.

indemnified by the corporation. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right of such directors, officers or
representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their
respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their
rights under this article.
Without limiting the
application of the foregoing, the board of directors may adopt by-laws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at
all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the corporation to purchase or maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer.
