NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (USD in thousands, except per share and per unit amounts)
NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. | SciSparc Ltd. (formerly known as Therapix Biosciences Ltd.) (“SciSparc” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company, was incorporated in Israel and commenced its operations on August 23, 2004. Until March 2014, SciSparc and its subsidiaries at the time (the “Group”) were mainly engaged in developing several innovative immunotherapy products and SciSparc’s own patents in the immunotherapy field. In August 2015, the Company decided to adopt a different business strategy and began focusing on developing a portfolio of approved drugs based on cannabinoid molecules. With this focus, the Company is currently engaged in the following development programs based on Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) and/or non-psychoactive cannabidiol for the treatment of Tourette syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease and agitation, obstructive sleep apnea, pain, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Status Epilepticus. The headquarters of the Company are located in Tel Aviv, Israel. |
On January 24, 2021, the Company changed its name from Therapix Biosciences Ltd. to SciSparc Ltd. |
The Company was previously a dual-listed company, whereby it listed (a) its ordinary shares, no par value each (“ordinary shares”), on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) from December 26, 2005 until its delisting on August 7, 2018, and (b) its American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) following its initial public offering (“IPO”) on March 27, 2017, at which time it raised $13,700, until its suspension from listing, and subsequent delisting, from Nasdaq on July 2, 2020 and September 21, 2020, respectively. Following the delisting of the ADSs from Nasdaq, the Company’s ADSs were listed on the Pink Sheets and then subsequently upgraded to the OTCQB on December 8, 2020. On August 26, 2021, the Company’s ADSs were mandatorily cancelled and were exchanged for ordinary shares at a one-for-one ratio. On December 22, 2021, the Company’s ordinary shares were re-listed on Nasdaq and began trading under the symbol “SPRC”.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had two subsidiaries, both of which are companies incorporated under the laws of Israel: (1) Brain Bright Ltd. (“Brain Bright”); and (2) Evero Health Ltd. (“Evero” and together with Brain Bright, the “Subsidiaries”).
Both of the Subsidiaries are private companies and as of the date of these financial statements Brain Bright is an inactive company with no assets or liabilities. |
b. | These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and accompanying notes, that were filed with the Securities and exchange commission on April 28, 2022. (the “2021 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements”). |

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (cont.)
c. | The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $5,759 and had negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $2,188 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $66,736 as a result of recurring operating losses. As the Company presently has no activities that generate revenues, the Company’s continued operation is dependent on its ability to raise funding from external sources. This dependency will continue until the Company will be able to finance its operations by selling its products or commercializing its technology. In addition, the Company’s management believes that the cash balance held by the Company as of December 28, 2022 (the “Approval Date”), in which the interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022, were approved, will be sufficient to finance its operating activities in the foreseeable future. |
d. | The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2022, were approved for issuance on the Approval Date. In connection with the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements and in accordance with authoritative guidance for subsequent events, the Company evaluated subsequent events after the consolidated statements of financial position date of June 30, 2022, through December 28, 2022, the date on which the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. |

On March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Dekel Pharmaceutical Ltd. (“Dekel”) pursuant to which Dekel agreed to invest in the Company through a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”). At the time of the Private Placement, Dekel was considered a related party of the Company; however, it is no longer a related party of the Company. In connection with the Private Placement, Dekel received convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), with an aggregate original principal amount of approximately $350, at an aggregate purchase price of $315 to be paid in several tranches spread across a twelve-month period. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 314,285 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Private Placement Warrant”) and 40,000 ordinary shares. The initial tranche of the Private Placement was for a principal amount of $220 at a purchase price of $198.The Private Placement Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the actual closing date and on or prior to the close of business on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance, at an initial exercise price of $0.35 per ordinary share, subject to adjustment.
General Overview of Valuation Approaches used in the Valuation:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Economic methodology:
The Private Placement Warrant’s’ fair value was calculated using the Black–Scholes option pricing model, which takes into account the parameters as disclosed below for each period valuated, in which a valuation was performed at (i) the issuance date, and (ii) each reporting date with the following assumptions:

Reverse Share Split
On March 2, 2021, the Company convened a special general meeting of its shareholders, whereby the shareholders approved to eliminate the par value of the Ordinary Shares and an increase to the Company’s share capital from 1,800,000,000 ordinary shares to 3,600,000,000 ordinary shares.
On July 19, 2021, the Company convened a special general meeting of its shareholders, whereby the shareholders approved a reverse split of the Company’s share capital by a ratio of 140:1 (the “Second Reverse Split”).
On July 30, 2021, the Company’s Board resolved that the final ratio for the Second Reverse Split will be 140:1, which went effective on August 9, 2021. Concurrently with the Second Reverse Split, a change to the ratio of the Company’s ADSs to its ordinary shares was effected from each ADS representing 140 ordinary shares to each ADS representing 1 ordinary share.
On August 26, 2021, the Company’s ADSs were mandatorily cancelled and were exchanged for ordinary shares at a one-for-one ratio.
Consequently, all share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been retroactively adjusted in these consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

NOTE 7:- SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
a. | There has been no material impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations during the reporting period, other than for a single incident with a supplier that caused a delay in the development and production of a research drug.
While the final implications of the COVID-19 pandemic are difficult to estimate at this stage, it is clear that it has affected the lives of a large portion of the global population. Due to the new outbreak of COVID-19 in Asia in late 2022, the Company cannot estimate, the impact, if any, the outbreak and any measures taken by governments, health officials or by the Company in response to such outbreak, could have on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company’s wide geographical spread of its clinical sites may mitigate the potential risk of significant damage to its business devolvement, however there is no guarantee these measures will be successful.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the new outbreak in Asia and its mitigation measures have also negatively impacted global economic conditions, which, in turn, could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact the Company’s financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new government actions or restrictions, new information that may emerge concerning the severity, longevity and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity. |
b. | On January 3, 2022 (the “2022 Grant Date”), the Board approved the grant of 178,140 share options to purchase ordinary shares under the Company’s 2015 Share Option Plan to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants, some of which required the approval of the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, which was obtained on February 10, 2022. The vesting commencement date for all of the options granted, is April 21, 2021. The share options vest on a quarterly basis over a period of three years and expire on January 3, 2028. The exercise price was set at $6.50 per share. |
