FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  A.
Financial risk management
 
  1.
General
 
The Company's activity exposes it to a variety of financial risks which include market risks, credit risks and liquidity risks. At each period, the Group examines the aforesaid financial risks and makes decisions accordingly.
 
Risk management is carried out by the Company's management, which identifies, evaluates and defines the risks as much as possible.
 
The Company does not have material balances of assets and financial liabilities that are linked to any base and thus information about linkage bases of balances is excluded.
 
  2.
Financial risk factors
 
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
 
  A.
Unquoted equity instruments risk
 
Investment in unquoted equity instrument is sensitive to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future value of this investment. The Company's Board reviews and approves all decisions related to investment in unquoted equity instrument. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, exposure to investment in one unquoted equity instrument measured at fair value was $1,631 and $2,285, respectively. See also Note 8 above.
 
  B.
Price risks of Company's common share
 
As of December 31, 2024, the Company is exposed to risks arising from changes in the price of its warrants and prefunded warrants measured at fair value through profit or loss as resulted from issuance of warrants to investors through private placement offering transaction and settlement agreements and issuance of the prefunded warrants as compensation to related party due to personal guarantees provided (see also Note 16 above). The fair value of such derivative liabilities is subject the Company to recognize losses in case there will be change in the price of the Company's ordinary share. However, the settlement of these liabilities will be through the exercise of the Company’s common shares.
 
  C.
Liquidity risk
 
Since its inception date, the Company has financed its business activities through raising capital, inter alia, through public offering, non-broker private placement transactions and credits from bank institution and others.
 
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s negative working capital amounted to $11,554 thousand . Based on the Group's working capital position as of December 31, 2024, management considers liquidity risk to be high.
 
The Company's policy is to manage its liquidity by examining current forecasts to manage the cash for operational needs in the normal course of business. Depending on current needs, the Company periodically carries out additional raising of capital.
 
  D.
Credit risks
 
  1.
As of December 31, 2024, the cash is mostly deposited in various bank institutions in Israel and Germany. The management regularly evaluates the financial strength of the financial institutions with which the Company engages. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that the credit risk to these balances is low.
 
The Group is exposed to credit risks resulting from its operating activities (mainly from outstanding trade receivables). Upon the preparation of forecasted credit losses, the Company uses its previous experience and information accrued from different financial resources. Based on that, the Company segregates its customers to classes according to the different risk levels in a manner in which it can estimate the probability of a credit default.

  E.
Currency rate risk:
 
As of December 31, 2024, a portion of the Group's financial assets and liabilities denominated in EUR, NIS and USD currency consist of cash in the amount of EUR 293 thousand (approximately $196), NIS 551 thousand (approximately $1,397), USD nil thousand (approximately $nil), respectively. The Group's objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency cash flows by transacting, to the greatest extent possible, with third parties in NIS. The Group does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point of time.
 
  B.
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The Company's financial instruments that are included in the working capital include cash, restricted cash deposit, trade receivables, other current assets, trade payables, other current liabilities and credits from bank institutions and others. The balances of the financial instruments as stated in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, constitute an approximation to their fair value.
 
In addition, the Company has operating lease liabilities and convertible debentures that are measured at the initial recognition date at fair value and in subsequent periods at the amortized cost using the effective interest method (see also Note 11 and Note 15 above, respectively). Taking into consideration the balance of such liabilities and that there has not been a significant change in the discount rate used for recognition of the liabilities and the current discount rate, the carrying amount constitutes an approximation of fair value.
