CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
We are pleased to report the audited results of t42 for the year ended 31
December 2022: revenues were $4.04m (2021: $ 4.21m), gross margin was 42%
(2021: 40%), and net losses after tax were reduced to $1.01m (2021: $2.96m).
A major contributing factor to these results, as stated in our trading update
in February 2023, is the continuation of post-Covid and supply chain issues
that have impacted our performance despite several successful trials of our
technology by potential customers. We also experienced delays in the
anticipated substantial orders from our LATAM distributor caused by local
political disturbances but are hopeful that we will begin to see progress in
the level of demand in the latter part of this year.
Looking forward to the remainder of 2023, we are targeting a significant
improvement in revenues and gross margins. This optimism is based on several
business vectors and improvements, which we initially highlighted last year.
First, we have expanded in the USA with initial orders for Tetis units based
on monthly payments for both devices and our software solutions. We see
significant business potential in offering this innovative method to our
product solutions and, assuming the required funding is available, we expect
to deliver increased revenues by offering this payment solution in the USA and
elsewhere.
Secondly, we have completed major software and hardware improvements to meet
clientsÕ needs and provide more holistic solutions, particularly in times of
a global chip shortage. We have been working hard to make our products even
better, faster, and more reliable. We are confident these improvements will
make a real difference and help us stay ahead of the competition.
We have upgraded our entire product range to incorporate support for LTE Cat-1
(which has much better world-wide 4G coverage than previous devices with
Cat-M1), as older generations of cellular networks are being phased out
worldwide. We have moved our cloud infrastructure to Amazon Web Services
(AWS), which will improve the operational capability of our products.
Furthermore, we have added new features to our products, for example, new
types of reports, dashboards, and improvements to our control center, and
enhanced the security feature across our product range. These improvements are
expected to reduce manufacturing costs, thus improving our gross margins.
Thirdly, in 2022, we introduced four new products to the market: Tetis R
Connect (Tetis R with BLE 4.2 support for scanning external standalone sensors
for temperature, humidity, etc.), the Lokies 2.0 (featuring a new design, BLE
5.2 support, a new CPU, and improved energy efficiency), the new iteration of
our Helios TT device, and two new versions of Helios M (for 2G and 4G
networks).
Finally, we have significantly expanded our presence at specialized
exhibitions related to our technology while implementing multiple pilot
schemes with new and existing customers. This has provided the opportunity to
engage in pilot tests for our latest Lokies and Tetis products and receive
valuable customer feedback.
We are already beginning to see the positive result of these improvements in
the pipeline of potential business for the remainder of 2023, which gives us
confidence in a considerable improvement in revenues and gross margin this
year, with a second half weighting. We continue to benefit from the recurring
income from software-as-a-service (SaaS) and expect this to increase further
this year. As recently announced, we have secured an initial order of 1,000
units for our Lokies solution, with further orders anticipated. In addition,
we are expectant that orders from Latin America (LATAM) will begin to
materialize during 2023.
Although heavily focused on developing our presence in the container
protection sector, we continue to progress in our traditional activity areas.
Thus, during the year, we obtained additional orders for Helios Hybrid, one of
t42Õs superior technology hardware products, combining GSM cellular and
satellite communication. Our target market for this product is homeland
security customers. We have secured additional orders within Africa with other
superior Helios units.
We are now in the final stages of formalizing additional funding through a new
$1.3m convertible loan stock with a third party. These funds, if secured,
would meet our cash requirements in the medium term and enable the Company to
fulfil existing orders in hand. The agreement has been approved by all parties
and formal documents are in the process of being signed and the lender has
committed to provide the funds, subject to completion. The Company expects
significant further growth in orders over the next 12 months and should these
be achieved, it may be necessary to review cash requirements to enable them to
be fulfilled and to ensure the new leasing structure can be applied for future
sales now being adopted for some clients.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Group revenues for the year were $4.04m, compared with $4.21m for the year
ended 31 December 2021, a decrease of 4%.
The gross margin for the year was approximately 42% compared with 40% for
2021.
Total operating expenditure for the year was $3.01m (2021: $3.98m),
Net loss after taxation for the year decreased to $1.01m compared with the
2021 net loss of $2.96m. The operating loss in the period was $1.37m, compared
to an operating loss of $2.69m in 2021.
The Group recorded an exchange rate gain of $0.45m resulting from the weakness
of the Israeli Shekel compared with the US dollar (2021: exchange rate loss of
$0.1m).
The Group balance sheet showed a decrease in trade receivables to $0.49m,
compared with $0.68m as at 31 December 2021.
Group inventories at the period end were $1.58m, compared to $1.79m as of the
end of 2021.
Trade payables at the year-end were stable at $1.14m, compared with $1.55m as
of 31 December 2021.
Net cash used in operating activities in the period was approximately $0.95m,
compared with $0.38m for the year ended 31 December 2021.
As detailed in notes 10, 12, and 13 of this financial report, the Company has
loans with a leading Israeli Bank. The financial covenants, as detailed in
note 12, were breached at the quarter ending 31 December 2021. The Company and
the bank monitor the position carefully, remain in close correspondence and
work toward a solution.
OUTLOOK
We commenced the first quarter of 2023 with some new orders for our Tetis
products using the new leasing structure and anticipate further take-up of
this new financing methodology over the rest of 2023. Meanwhile, we expect
that several of the pilot projects undertaken during 2022 will lead to orders
being received during the remainder of year. Despite the slow progress of
orders from LATAM, as set out above, we are expecting increased business in
this area during the second half of 2023.
Overall, assuming additional funding is secured on a timely basis, we expect
significant revenue and gross margin improvements during 2023. With increased
funding available to us we also believe that previous constraints on growth
due to supply chain issues will be less of a feature in our future business
opportunities.

Non-Executive Chairman
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
General
The Board has adopted the QCA Corporate Governance Code (Òthe QCA CodeÓ),
further detail of which is set out on the CompanyÕs website. The following
comments are intended to provide an update on the application of these
guidelines where appropriate. The Company seeks to comply with the principles
of the QCA Code that the Board considers appropriate, given the size and
nature of the business. However, there may be certain cases where
non-compliance is appropriate due to the nature of the business and its non-UK
status, as explained further below.
Division of responsibilities
The T42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC Board consists of four directors, two of
whom are non-executive, including the Chairman. Although the Company is a
relatively small company with a small board, the roles of Chairman and Chief
executive are separate, clearly established roles, with a clear division of
responsibilities between them.
The Chairman
The Chairman is responsible for the leadership of the Board. The Chairman sets
the agenda for Board meetings and encourages an open and constructive debate.
Since the Company is based in Tel Aviv, some Board meetings take place by
conference call but normally at least two meetings a year take place
physically in Israel with all Board members attending. The in-person Board
meetings were suspended during the recent pandemic and restrictions on travel
but now these have passed at least two physical Board meetings will be held in
2023. During 2022, a total of 9 Board meetings were held and all directors
attended all meetings either in person or by conference call. There were 2
audit committee meetings held during the year under review, and all members of
the committee attended. There was 1 remuneration committee meeting held during
the year under review, which all members attended.
The Non-Executive directors
The Chairman is responsible for the leadership of the Board. The Chairman sets
the agenda for Board meetings and encourages an open and constructive debate.
Since the Company is based in Tel Aviv, some Board meetings take place by
conference call but normally at least two meetings a year take place
physically in Tel Aviv with all Board members attending.
Time Commitment
Each non-executive director is required to be able to devote sufficient time
to his role as a director in the light of other commitments external to the
Board. In practice, despite their limited contractual time obligations to the
Board which in general are one or two days a month, the non-executive
directors devote considerable time over and above their commitments to the
Company in support of the other executive members of the Board. On average,
they provide at least one day a week and sometimes more to assist the
management. The executive directors are fully committed to the Company and
spend as much time as is needed, both in normal working hours and very often
much more.
The business model and strategy
The strategic objectives of the Company are becoming clear in the shipping
container market. The CompanyÕs target is to reach each and every container
and convert it into a transmitting data point. The Company is targeting to use
the opportunity of the present global environment of supply chain challenges
and logistics costs in order to penetrate the mass market. The CompanyÕs
legacy products and experience will support the business to challenge this
market and provide a comprehensive solution.
To understand and meet shareholder needs and expectations
The Board keeps in regular contact with investors with a view to understanding
their needs and expectations. During 2022, with the assistance of the
CompanyÕs brokers, presentations were made to a number of investors and
further presentations are planned together with the release of these financial
statements. In addition, the Board welcomes contact from investors via the
CompanyÕs brokers, PR firm and via the website. In normal times shareholders
are encouraged to attend the CompanyÕs Annual General Meetings where they can
meet and directly communicate with the Board.
Taking into account wider stakeholder and social responsibilities and their
implications for long-term success
The CompanyÕs tracking products are sold via distributors; therefore, the
Company has little influence over individual product sales. Therefore,
although the Company continues to monitor performance of its distribution
network, it is not generally in touch with end users and has limited influence
over the processes followed by distributors. However, the Board constantly
reviews the distribution network by measuring the performance of individual
distributors. Where products are manufactured by external firms, the Company
regularly inspects the production facilities and processes used.
The Board is committed to reviewing and assessing stakeholder expectations and
guides the CompanyÕs senior management to act in accordance with feedback
received.
Embed effective risk management
The Board is fully aware of, and monitors closely, the risks that may apply to
the business. These include counterparty credit risk, foreign exchange risk
and, from time to time, political risks in countries where the Company is
actively marketing its products. It is also influenced by the covenants
imposed by its bankers on credit risk for certain countries. Operational risks
are identified and assessed by management and are reported to the Board when
necessary. The Audit Committee also addresses these risks at its regular
meetings. During 2022, management has actively been seeking to widen the
manufacturing bases for the CompanyÕs products so as to lessen reliance on
any single manufacturer, thus minimizing risk to the business. In order to
monitor risk, regular visits are made to the manufacturing facility and the
Board is informed of any issues that need addressing. The key risks facing the
Company together with any mitigation taken are considered further on pages
10-11 of this document.
Ensure that the directors have the necessary up-to-date experience and skills
The Board currently comprises of two executive and two non-executive directors
with an appropriate balance of sector, financial and public market skills, and
experience. The experience and knowledge of each of the directors gives them
the ability to constructively challenge strategy and to scrutinise
performance. In addition, the Chairman, Michael Rosenberg, brings further
strategic, commercial, transaction and leadership experience which will be
invaluable as the Board pursues the CompanyÕs growth strategy and continues
to transform the Company.
Ethical matters
As a small company, the directors are constantly in touch with members of the
staff. There are 20 members based in the office in Israel and their needs and
aspirations are regularly reviewed.
Main governance structures and processes
The Chairman, Michael Rosenberg, has responsibility for ensuring proper
corporate governance and can also rely on the support of the CFO, Mr
Vatenmacher, who is also very familiar with corporate governance requirements.
Further information on the Board and its Committees:
Michael Rosenberg OBE (Non-Executive Chairman)
Michael has many years of experience both as a corporate financier and as an
entrepreneur, involved in a number of new businesses in the healthcare, media
and financial sectors. He has considerable global experience, having been
chairman of the UK DTI committee on trade with Hong Kong and as member of the
China Britain Business Council. He was, for many years, also chairman of the
British Export Healthcare Association, now known as ABHI, and led a number of
UK trade missions overseas. He was a founder of the investment bank now known
as Numis Securities where he served as chairman for a number of years until
his retirement in 1999.
Over many years he has also served on the boards of other Israeli companies
listed on AIM, including Pilat Media Global PLC, as well as several other
non-listed companies.
Avi Hartmann (Chief Executive Officer)
Avi has spent his life as an entrepreneur focused on the technology of
tracking systems. He was a founder of Mobiltel Communications Services, which
was purchased by Pelephone in Israel in 1999. Together with his son, Uri
Hartmann, and his then partner, Doron Kedem, he founded t42 IoT Tracking
Solutions PLC in 2004.
Martin Blair (Non-Executive Director)
Martin qualified as a chartered accountant with Ernst & Young in 1982 and
between 1983 and 1986 also worked for PwC. He then spent 15 years in a
variety of senior financial roles, primarily for media and technology
companies, both in UK and the US. Martin became the CFO for Pilat Media
Global PLC, a company which previously traded on both AIM and the Tel Aviv
Stock Exchange. Pilat Media Global developed, marketed and supported new
generation business management software solutions for content and service
providers in the media industry. Martin is also currently a non-executive
director and Chairman of the audit committees at Kape Technologies PLC (AIM:
KAPE) and Cake Box Holdings PLC (AIM: CAKE).
Igor Vatenmacher (Chief Financial Officer)
Igor is a certified public accountant in Israel and has a BachelorÕs degree
in Economics from Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and an executive MBA
degree with honours, specializing in financing, banking, capital markets and
financial engineering, from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He began his
career with Ernst and Young. Igor joined t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC in
December 2017 and brings highly qualified accounting experience to the
Company, and, since his appointment, has assisted with the development of more
sophisticated internal systems and controls essential to the growth of the
business. He joined the Board of the Company in January 2019.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of the non-executive directors, Martin Blair and
Michael Rosenberg, and is chaired by Martin Blair. The Audit Committee, inter
alia, determines and examines matters relating to the financial affairs of the
Company including the terms of engagement of the CompanyÕs auditors and, in
consultation with the auditors, the scope of the annual audit. The Audit
Committee met twice during 2022. In March 2022 the Audit Committee reviewed
the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, paying
particular attention to the valuation of stock and the level of debtors with a
view to making provisions where necessary. The Audit Committee met in
September 2022 to consider the interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2022. Again, the Committee focused on stock valuation and debtor
levels, as well as the reported gross margin. The Board considers that,
given the size and nature of the business, it is not beneficial to include a
full audit committee report in the annual report and accounts for 2022. This
will be kept under annual review by the Board.
The Remuneration Committee reviews the performance of the directors and makes
recommendations to the Board on matters relating to their remuneration and
terms of employment. The committee also makes recommendations to the Board on
proposals for the granting of share options and other equity incentives
pursuant to any share option scheme or equity incentive scheme in operation
from time to time. The committee meets as and when necessary to assess the
suitability of candidates proposed for appointment by the Board, but not less
than once per annum. Members of the remuneration committee comprise Michael
Rosenberg, who acts as chairman of the committee, with Martin Blair as a
member.
The Board considers that, given the size and nature of the business, it is not
beneficial to include a remuneration committee report in the annual report and
accounts for 2022. This will be kept under annual review by the Board.
On behalf of the board,
M. Rosenberg, Chairman

Charitable and Political Donations
The Group did not make any charitable or political contributions during the
year.
Corporate governance
The Company adopts the Quoted Company AllianceÕs (QCA) Corporate Governance
Code (ÒQCA CodeÓ) and the Board believes this is the appropriate code for
the Company to adhere to. The Board assesses its compliance with the QCA
Code on an annual basis.
In common with other organizations of a similar size, the executive directors
are heavily involved in the day to day running of the business and meet
regularly on an informal basis as well as at Board Meetings.
The Board of directors meets regularly and is responsible for formulating
strategy, monitoring financial performance and approving major items of
capital expenditure.
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the
financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare Group and parent Company
financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors
are required to prepare the Group and parent Company financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
adopted by the EU.
The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the Group and parent Company and of the profit and
loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing each of the Group and parent Company financial statements, the
directors are required to:
i) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them
consistently;
ii) Make judgments and accounting estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and
iii) State whether they have been prepared in accordance with
IFRS as adopted by the EU, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the parent Company financial statements; and prepare the
financial statements on the "going concern" basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the Group and the parent Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the
Group and parent Company and enable them to ensure that the financial
statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Article 4 of the IAS
Regulations. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are
reasonably open to safeguard the assets of the Group and parent Company and to
prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also responsible for
preparing a Directors' Report to comply with that law and those regulations.
In determining how amounts are presented within terms in the income statement
and balance sheet, the directors have regarded the substance of the reported
transaction or arrangement in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or practice.
So far as each of the directors is aware at the time the report is approved:
There is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are
unaware; and
The directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make
themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the
auditors are aware of that information.
Going concern
The directors have prepared and reviewed sales forecasts and budgets for the
next twelve months and, having considered these cash flows and the
availability of other financing sources if required, have concluded that the
Group will remain a "going concern." After this process and having made
further relevant enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that
the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt
the "going concern" basis in preparing the accounts.
Risks
Foreign exchange risks
Most of the GroupÕs sales and income are in US Dollars and the US Dollar is
the currency in which the Company reports. The expenses, however, are divided
between the US Dollar and the Israeli Shekel. The cost of goods (components)
are paid in US Dollars and part of the operational costs, such as rent and
other service providers, quote their fees in Israeli Shekel. Labor costs are
paid in Israeli Shekels. The Company has, therefore, a partial currency risk
in the event that the Israeli Shekel strengthens against the US Dollar, which
could have an effect on the bottom line of the Group's financial results.
The Group consults with foreign currency experts from main Israeli banks
regarding the main financial institutions' expectations for foreign currency
changes. Management reviews them carefully and will consider with the board
whether it should purchase financial instruments sold by local banks to
protect itself from this foreign exchange risk. There are no financial
instruments in use at the date of this report.
Interest Rate Risks
The Company is exposed to interest risks as it uses credit lines and loans
from its banks. Changes in the effective Prime interest rate published monthly
by the Bank of Israel can influence the Company's financing costs.
Credit Risk
The Group is exposed to credit risks if its customers fail to pay for goods
supplied by the Group. In order to minimize this risk, the Group has a policy
of:
(a) Selling only to respectable integrators and distributors and not to the
end customer.
(b) Orders from customers in certain regions are shipped only after an
approved letter of credit is received by the Group's bank.
(c) New customers in common pays at least 30% before initial shipping.
Capital Risk management
The Group manages its cash carefully. In order to reduce its risk, the Group
may take measures to reduce its fixed costs (labor) if performance is below
the directorsÕ expectations. The Group may conduct a placing for new shares
of the Company in order to raise additional capital as required when
monitoring its performance, and to continue its operations.
Supplier payment policy
It is the Group's policy to settle the terms of payment with suppliers when
agreeing to the terms of the transaction, to ensure that suppliers are aware
of these terms and to abide by them.
CREST
The Company's ordinary shares are eligible for settlement through CREST, the
system for securities to be held and transferred in electronic form rather
than on paper. Shareholders are not obliged to use CREST and can continue to
hold and transfer shares on paper without loss of rights.
Auditors
A resolution reappointing Barzily as the GroupÕs auditors will be proposed at
the AGM in accordance with S485 of the Companies Act 2006.
Electronic Communications
The Company may deliver shareholder information, including Annual and Interim
Reports, Forms of Proxy and Notices of General Meetings, in an electronic
format to shareholders.
If you would like to receive shareholder information in electronic format,
please register your request on the Company's Registrar's electronic database
at www.linkassetservices.com. You will initially need your unique investor
code which you will find at the top of your share certificate. There is no
charge for this service. If you wish to subsequently change your mind, you may
do so by contacting the Company's Registrars by post or through their website.
If you elect to receive shareholder information electronically, please note
that it is the shareholder's responsibility to notify the Company of any
change in his name, address, email address or other contact details.
Shareholders should also note that, with electronic communication, the
Company's obligations will be satisfied when it transmits the notification of
availability of information, or such other document as may be involved, to the
electronic address it has on file. The Company cannot be held responsible for
any failure in transmission beyond its control any more than it can be held
responsible for postal failure.
In the event of the Company becoming aware that an electronic notification
is not successfully transmitted, a further two attempts will be made. In the
event that the transmission is still unsuccessful, a hard copy of the
notification will be mailed to the shareholder. In the event that specific
software is required to access information placed on the Company's website, it
will be available via the website without charge.
Before electing for electronic communications, shareholders should ensure that
they have the appropriate equipment and computer capabilities sufficient for
this purpose. The Company takes all reasonable precautions to ensure no
viruses are present in any communication it sends out but cannot accept
responsibility for loss or damage arising from the opening or use of any email
or attachments from the Company and recommends that shareholders subject all
messages to virus checking procedures prior to use. Any electronic
communication received by the Company that is found to contain any virus will
not be accepted.
Shareholders wishing to receive shareholder information in the conventional
printed form will continue to do so and need take no further action.
Should you have any further questions in this regard, please contact the
Company's Registrars, Share Registrars Limited.
On behalf of the board,
M. Rosenberg, Chairman

Report of Independent Auditors
to the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of
t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position
of t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC and its subsidiaries (hereinafter - Òthe
GroupÓ) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the related consolidated
statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Group board of directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in Israel, including those prescribed by the Israeli AuditorsÕ
Regulations (AuditorÕs Mode of Performance - 1973). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the board of
directors and management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the consolidated results of
its operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with international financial reporting standards (IFRS).
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 25 in the
financial statements regarding the Company's efforts to raise additional

NOTE 2C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
c. Financial instruments
(i) Financial assets
The Group initially recognizes loans and receivables on the date that they are
originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated as at fair
value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the trade date,
which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the
cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the
contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest
in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group
is recognized as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in
the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal
right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to
realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group classified financial assets at initial recognition, as subsequently
measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income
(OCI) and fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:
A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it
is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial
recognition, as well this category includes derivative instruments and listed
equity investments which the Group had not irrevocably elected to classify at
fair value through OCI.
(Financial assets are designated as at fair value through profit or loss if
the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based
on their fair value in accordance with the Group's documented risk management
or investment strategy.)
Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair
value and changes therein, which take into account any dividend income, are
recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments):
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially
at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Loans and receivables are comprised of trade and other receivables, excluding
short -term trade and other receivables where the interest amount is
immaterial.

c. Financial instruments (cont.)
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated
liabilities on the date that they originated. All other financial liabilities
(including liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss) are
recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations
are discharged, cancelled or expire.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other
financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognized
initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts,
and trade and other payables.
(iii) Compound financial instruments and warrants at fair value
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise with an
interest-bearing loan and conversion options issued to lenders
The option component of liabilities that are not denominated in foreign
currency or are linked to the CPI or to foreign currency is recognized
initially as an equity component at its fair value using a binomial
calculation
The liability components are recognized initially as the difference between
the loan amount and the option component.
Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liabilities
and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound
financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is
not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.
Liabilities that are convertible into shares denominated in foreign currency
or are linked to the CPI or to foreign currency are presented fully as a
financial liability.
The instrument is split into two components for measurement purposes: A
liability component without a conversion future that is measured at amortized
cost according to the effective interest method, and a conversion option that
is an embedded derivative and is measured at fair value at each reporting
date.
As well, warrants issued by the Company that are convertible into shares
denominated in foreign currency or that are linked to the CPI or to foreign
currency are also presented as a financial liability which is measured at fair
value at each reporting date.
Interest related to the financial liabilities is recognized in profit or loss.

NOTE 2C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
d. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with
maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject
to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the
Group in the management of its short-term commitments.
e. Share capital
Ordinary shares:
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction
from equity, net of any tax effects.
f. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:
%
Computers and software 33
Office furniture and equipment 7 Ð 15
Vehicles 15
Laboratory equipment 15
Rights-of-use assets 10
Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the
term of the lease, ten-year period, (including option terms) or the estimated
useful lives of the improvements, unless it is reasonably certain that the
Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
At each balance sheet date, the Group examines the residual value, the useful
life and the depreciation method it uses. If the Group identifies material
changes in the expected residual value, the useful life or the future pattern
of consumption of future economic benefits in the asset that may indicate that
a change in the depreciation is required, such changes are treated as changes
in accounting estimates. In the reported periods, no material changes have
taken place with any material effect on the financial statements of the Group.
g. Intangible assets: Research and development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining
new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in
profit or loss as incurred.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or
substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is
capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or
process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are
probable, and the Group intends and has sufficient resources to complete
development and to use or sell the asset.
The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor,
overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its
intended use. Other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as
incurred.

NOTE 2C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
g. Intangible assets: Research and development (cont.)
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining
new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in
profit or loss as incurred.
Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
ten years.
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews whether any events have occurred
or changes in circumstances have taken place, which might indicate that there
has been an impairment of the intangible assets. When such indicators of
impairment are present, the Group evaluates whether the carrying value of the
intangible asset in the GroupÕs accounts can be recovered from the cash flows
anticipated from that asset, and, if necessary, records an impairment
provision up to the amount needed to adjust the carrying amount to the
recoverable amount.
h. Short-term deposit
Deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year are
included in short-term deposits.
i. Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a
lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all
leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group
recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets
representing the right to use the underlying assets.
1. Right-of-use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease
(i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of
right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized,
initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and
the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Property Ð 10 years (5 years prior year)
Vehicles - 3 years
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the
lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option,
depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the
accounting policies in Note 2C(k).
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. Dollars in thousands
NOTE 2C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
i. Leases (cont.)
2. Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities
measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease
term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed
payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual
value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a
purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments
of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group
exercising the option to terminate.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are
recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in
the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its
incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest
rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement
date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of
interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change
in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future
payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the
underlying asset.
3. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term
leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term
of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase
option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption
to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease
payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as
an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
j. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net market value.
Cost is determined using the "first-in, first -out" method.
Inventory write-downs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving
items, technological obsolescence, excess inventories, and discontinued
products and for market prices lower than cost, if any. At the point of loss
recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. Dollars in thousands
NOTE 2C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
k. Impairment in value of assets
During every financial period, the Group examines the book value of its
tangible and intangible assets to determine any signs of loss from impairment
in value of these assets. In the event that there are signs of impairment, the
Group examines the realization value of the designated asset. In the event
that the realization cannot be measured for an individual asset, the Group
estimates realization value for the unit where the asset belongs. Joint assets
are assigned to the units yielding cash on the same basis. Joint assets are
designated to the smallest groups of yielding assets for which one can
identify a reasonable basis that is consistent with the allocation.
The realization value is the higher of net sale price of the asset as compared
with its useful life that is determined by the present value of projected cash
flows to be realized from this asset and its realization value at the end of
its useful life.
In the event that the book value of the asset or cash-yielding unit is greater
than its realization value, a devaluation of the asset has occurred in the
amount of the difference between its book value and its realization value.
This amount is recognized immediately in the statements of comprehensive
income.
In the event that prior devaluation of an asset is nullified, the book value
of the asset or of the cash-yielding unit is increased to the estimated
current fair value, but not in excess of the asset or cash-yielding unit book
value that would have existed had there not been devaluation. Such
nullification is recognized immediately in the statements of comprehensive
income.
l. Revenue recognition
The Group generates revenues from sales of products, which include hardware
and software, software licensing, professional services and maintenance.
Professional services include mainly installation, project management,
customization, consulting and training. The Group sells its products
indirectly through a global network of distributors, system integrators and
strategic partners, all of whom are considered end-users, and through its
direct sales force.
Revenue from products and software licensing is recognized when persuasive
evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee
is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable.
Revenues from maintenance and professional services are recognized ratably
over the contractual period or as services are performed, respectively.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. Dollars in thousands
NOTE 2C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
m. Allowance for expected credit losses
The Group evaluates its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis
through periodic reviews of the collectability of the receivables in light of
historical experience, adverse situations that may affect the repayment
abilities of its customers, and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally
does not require collateral because (1) management believes it has certain
collection measures in-place to limit the potential for significant losses,
and (2) because of the nature of its customers that comprise the Group's
customer base. Receivables are written off when the Group abandons its
collection efforts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided with
respect to those amounts that the Group has determined to be doubtful of
collection.
n. Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term
deposits and trade receivables.
o. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a current obligation (legal or
derived) as a result of a past occurrence that can be reliably measured, that
will in all probability result in the Group being required to provide
additional benefits in order to settle this obligation. Provisions are
determined by capitalization of projected cash flows at a rate prior to taxes
that reflects the current market preparation for the money duration and the
specific risks for the liability.
p. Employee benefits
The Group has several benefit plans for its employees:
1. Short-term employee benefits -
Short-term employee benefits include salaries, vacation days, recreation and
deposits to the National Insurance Institute that are recognized as expenses
when rendered.
2. Benefits upon retirement -
Benefits upon retirement, generally funded by deposits to insurance companies
and pension funds, are classified as restricted deposit plans or as restricted
benefits.
All Group employees have restricted deposit plans, in accordance with Section
14 of the Severance Pay Law (Israel), whereby the Group pays fixed amounts
without bearing any legal responsibility to pay additional amounts thereto
even if the fund did not accumulate enough amounts to pay the entire benefit
amount to the employee that relates to the services he rendered during the
current and prior periods. Deposits to the restricted plan are classified as
for benefits or for compensation and are recognized as an expense upon deposit
to the plan concurrent with receiving services from the employee and no
additional provision is required in the financial statements.

q. Finance income and expenses
Finance income includes interest in regard to invested amounts, changes in the
fair value of financial assets presented at fair value in the statements of
comprehensive income and gains from changes in the exchange rates and interest
income that are recognized upon accrual using the effective interest method.
Finance expenses include interest on loans received, changes in the time
estimate of provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets
presented at fair value in the statements of comprehensive loss and losses
from changes in value of financial assets.
Gains and losses from exchange rate differences are reported net. Exchange
rate differences in regard to issuance of shares are charged to equity.
r. Taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax
are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a
business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other
comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or
loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the
declaration of dividends.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized for:
● Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
● Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and jointly
controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not
reverse in the foreseeable future; and
● Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to
temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally
enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they
relate to taxes levied by the same Tax Authority on the same taxable entity,
or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will
be realized simultaneously.

NOTE 2C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
r. Taxes (cont.)
Since there is uncertainty in regard to existence of taxable revenues in the
near future, a deferred tax asset was not recognized.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit
(taxes on income) will be realized.
s. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each year.
Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential common
shares considered outstanding during the year.
t. Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows from current operations is presented using the
indirect method, whereby interest amounts paid and received by the Group are
included in the cash flows in current operations.
u. Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a
liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the
dividends are approved by the Group's shareholders.
v. Segment reporting
Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly
attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a
reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head
office expenses and tax.
w. Government grants
A government grant is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that
the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to it, and that the grant
will be received. The Group received government grants, the nature of which is
compensation for a decrease in revenues, the Group decided to record the
grants received by the Government of Israel as revenues.

NOTE 21 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS
a. Financial Risk Factors:
The Group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks, including:
market, currency, credit and liquidity risks. The comprehensive Group plan for
risk management focuses on the fact that it is not possible to predict
financial market behavior and an effort to minimize possible negative effects
on Company financial performance.
In this Note, information is stated in regard to Group exposure to each of the
risks abovementioned and the handling of these risks. Risk management and
capital are handled by the Group management that identifies and evaluates
financial risks.
1) Exchange rate risk
Group operations are exposed to exchange rate risks arising mainly from
exposure of loans that are linked to the NIS from banks, suppliers and others.
2) Credit risk
Credit risks are handled at the Group level. These risks arise from cash and
cash equivalents, bank deposits and unpaid receivable balances. The Group
settled a credit insurance with one of the biggest credit insurance companies
worldwide and manages its credit risk accordingly. Cash and cash equivalent
balances of the Group are deposited in an Israeli bank. Group management is of
the opinion that there is insignificant credit risk regarding these amounts.
3) Liquidity risks
Cautious management of liquidity risks requires that there will be sufficient
amounts of cash to finance operations. Group management currently examines
projections regarding liquidity surpluses deriving from cash and cash
equivalents. This examination is based on projected cash flows, in accordance
with procedures and limitations determined by the Group.
Short term loan covenants compliance is closely monitored by the financial
department.
b. Linkage terms of financial instruments:

Group as a lessee
The Group has lease contracts for various items of property and vehicles used
in its operations. The leases of property have lease terms of 5 years, while
motor vehicles have lease terms of 3 years. The GroupÕs obligations under its
leases are secured by the lessorÕs title to the leased assets. Generally, the
Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing.
There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination
options, which are further discussed below.
The Group also has certain leases of machinery with lease terms of 12 months
or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the
Ôshort-term leaseÕ and Ôlease of low-value assetsÕ recognition exemptions
for these leases.

NOTE 25 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTED PERIOD
During 2023, the Company received an additional significant order of Tetis
from a US-based customer and other.
The Company has negotiated additional funding by way of a USD 1.3 million
interest bearing convertible loan with a third-party which will be repayable
18 months from drawdown if not converted prior to that date. These funds, if
secured, will meet the cash requirements in the medium term that will enable
the Company to fulfil existing orders in hand. The agreement has been
approved by all parties and formal documents are in the process of being
signed and the lender has committed to provide the funds once completed. The
Company expects significant further growth in orders over the next 12 months
and should these be achieved, it may be necessary to review cash requirements
to enable them to be fulfilled and to ensure the new leasing structure can be
applied for future sales now being adopted for some clients.
