Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 |
Note 1 - General
| 1. | Purple Biotech Ltd. (hereinafter: the “Company” or “Purple”) is a clinical-stage company developing first-in-class therapies that overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. |
The Company was incorporated in Israel as a private company in August 1968, and has been listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since September 1978. In October 2012, the Company disposed all its previous operations, and in July 2013, the Company acquired shares of Kitov Pharma Ltd. from its shareholders, in exchange for the Company’s shares. In December 2020 the Company changed its name from Kitov Pharma Ltd. to Purple Biotech Ltd.
| 2. | The Company’s securities (American Depository Shares (“ADS”)) were listed for trading on the NASDAQ in November 2015 (including a Series A warrant that expired in November 2020). Each ADS represents 10 ordinary shares with no par value following a reverse split in effect from August 23, 2020 (see Note 10A in the annual financial statements). Each 10 shares enable the purchase of 1 ADS. |
The Company’s address is 4 Oppenheimer St., Science Park, Rehovot 7670104 Israel.
The Company together with its subsidiaries TyrNovo LTD, FameWave LTD, Purple Biotech GmbH and Immunorizon LTD are referred to, in these consolidated financial statements, as “the Group”.
| 3. | Since incorporation through June 30, 2024, the Group has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations mainly attributed to its development efforts and has an accumulated deficit of USD 143.6 million. The Group has financed its operations mainly through private and public financing rounds. Through June 30, 2024, the Company raised (excluding exercise of warrants) a total of USD 102.3 million net of issuance expenses. Based on the projected cash flows and current cash balances, management currently is of the opinion that its existing cash will be sufficient to fund operations until the end of the third quarter of 2025. Subsequently, management’s plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet the Company’s future cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that, the Company will be able to raise additional capital, when needed, on favorable terms, or at all, or reduce discretionary spending to provide the required liquidity. |
| 4. | On October 2023, Hamas terrorists conducted attacks on civilian and military targets in Israel, leading to a military campaign against the terrorist organizations. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as the potential escalation of tensions with Hezbollah, could adversely impact the Company's operations and ability to raise capital. While the Company's clinical studies for CM24 and NT219 have not yet experienced material interruptions or delays, a prolonged conflict could disrupt the study sites located in Israel. Additionally, the Company's employees are located in Israel, and shelter-in-place or work-from-home measures could temporarily affect their ability to perform daily tasks. The duration and severity of the ongoing conflict is uncertain, and it could continue to disrupt the Company's business, operations, supply sources, and fundraising capabilities. |
| B. | Events in the reporting period |
| | On June 19, 2024 the Company signed a Note Payoff agreement with Coeptis and agreed to convert 50% of the then outstanding principal, approximately $219 thousand, into 1 million Coeptis shares and update the payment date of the remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest to August 31, 2024. |

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 |
Note 2 - Basis of Preparation
| A. | Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (hereinafter - “the Annual Financial Statements”). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last Annual Financial Statements.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Group’s Board of Directors on August 15, 2024.
| B. | Use of judgments and estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in the estimation of uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Annual Financial Statements.
Note 3 - Material Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its Annual Financial Statements except as described below.
Initial application of new standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations:
Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of liabilities as current or non-current
The amendment replaces the specific classification requirement of certain liabilities as current or non-current. According to the amendment, a liability will be classified as non-current when the entity has a right to defer payment for a period of at least 12 months after the reporting period, which is "substantive" (Substance) and which exists at the end of the reporting period. The amendment clarifies that the conversion right of a liability will affect the classification of the instrument as a whole as current or non-current unless the conversion component is equity. The amendment is affective retrospectively for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.
Purple Biotech Ltd. |
|
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 |
As a result of implementing the amendment, the company changed its policy regarding the classification of warrants classified as a liability. Prior to the implementation of the amendment, when classifying the warrants as current or non-current, the conversion options of the counterparty were not considered. Following the implementation of the amendment, since the warrants include a conversion component, the company takes into account the possible date at which the warrants can be converted, when classifying the warrants as current or non-current. Since the conversion option can be exercised within 12 months after the reporting period, the company retrospectively classified the warrants as a current liability.
Accounting standards issued not yet adopted:
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
This standard replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The purpose of the standard is to provide improved structure and content for financial statements, particularly in the income statement. The standard includes new disclosure and presentation requirements as well as requirements brought from IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements with minor wording changes. As part of the new disclosure requirements, companies will be required to present two intermediate summaries in the profit or loss statement: operating profit and profit before finance and tax. In addition, for most companies, the results in the profit or loss statement will be classified into three categories: operating profit, investment profit, and financing profit. In addition to changes in the structure of the profit and loss statements, the standard also includes a requirement to provide a separate disclosure in the financial statements regarding the use of performance measures defined by management (non-GAAP measures). Also, as part of the amendment, specific guidance was added for the aggregation and disaggregation of items in the financial statements and notes. The standard will encourage companies to avoid classifying items as 'other' (e.g., other expenses), and such classification will trigger additional disclosure requirements. The standard is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. The group is examining the implications of the amendment on the financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments)
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 (Financial instruments) and IFRS 7 (Financial instruments – Disclosures). The amendments provide clarifications for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial instruments, adding an exception regarding the write off date of financial liabilities that are eliminated in electronic transfers of cash. The amendments also relate to the classification of financial assets and include updated guidance on how to assess whether contractual cash flows of a financial asset are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) when the contractual terms and interest of the asset include conditional features, adding examples such as index-linking to ESG. The amendments clarify when financial instruments are contractually linked and when they constitute non-recourse financial assets for the purpose of determining whether they include only payments of principal and interest (SPPI). The amendments also add certain disclosure requirements for financial instruments with conditional features and for equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential effect of these amendments.
