a. | Evogene Ltd. (“Evogene” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was founded on October 10, 1999, as Agro Leads Ltd., a division of Compugen Ltd. In 2002, the Company was spun-off as an independent corporation under the laws of the State of Israel, and changed its name to Evogene Ltd. |
Evogene is a computational biology company aiming to revolutionize the development of life-science based products by utilizing cutting edge technologies to increase the probability of success while reducing development time and cost. Evogene established three unique tech-engines - MicroBoost AI, ChemPass AI and GeneRator AI – leveraging Big Data and Artificial Intelligence and incorporating deep multidisciplinary understanding in life sciences. Each tech-engine is focused on the discovery and development of products based on one of the following core components: microbes (MicroBoost AI), small molecules (ChemPass AI), and genetic elements (GeneRator AI).
Evogene uses its tech-engines to develop products through subsidiaries and strategic partnerships. Evogene’s subsidiaries currently utilize the tech-engines to develop human microbiome-based therapeutics by Biomica Ltd., ag-biologicals by Lavie Bio Ltd., ag-chemicals by AgPlenus Ltd. and castor varieties, for the biofuel and other industries, by Casterra Ag Ltd.

Basis of preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements:
The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.”
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2024.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, the consolidated statements of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as well as its results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the 2023 annual consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18, Presentation and disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 18, Presentation and disclosure in Financial Statements, which replaces International Accounting Standard (“IAS”)1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard is a result of the IASB’s Primary Financial Statements project, which is aimed at improving comparability and transparency of communication in financial statements. While a number of sections have been brought forward from IAS 1, with limited wording changes, IFRS 18 introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including the specified totals and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. In addition, certain amendments have been made to IAS 7, Statements of Cash flows. IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, but earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed.

NOTE 6: - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, other receivables, trade payables and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
The fair value of the liabilities in respect of government grants is measured using a discount rate that reflects the applicable market rate of interest at the date the grants are received, which approximates the fair value at the respective balance sheet date.
The fair value of lease liability is measured using a discount rate that reflects the IBR of interest at the date of the contract.
The fair value measurement of the SAFE agreement is based on the weighted average value of various scenarios regarding Lavie Bio Ltd.’s estimated enterprise value at the valuation date. The fair value of the ordinary shares of Lavie Bio Ltd. is measured using the income approach, whereby the expected cash flows generated by Lavie Bio Ltd. are discounted to their present value equivalent using a rate of return that reflects its relative risk, as well as the time value of the money, and is considered to be Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
