As
of June 30, 2025,2026, our
cash balances (cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, , restricted cash and restricted bank deposits)
totaled to $21,914,000.
$8,851,000. According to management estimates, we do notonly have sufficient resources to meet our operating obligations for ata leastperiod
of twelveless than three months from
the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. To sustain operations beyond this period, we
will require additional capital
to sustain operations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable terms,
or at all.
It is highly likely thatWe
we will need to raise significant additional capital in the future. Although we were successful in raising capital in the past, our current
financial resources are limited, and may not be sufficient to finance our operations until we become profitable, if that ever happens.
ItWe
will is likely that we will
need to raise additional funds in the future in order to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Therefore,
we are dependent
on our ability to sell our common shares for funds, receive grants, enter into collaborations and licensing deals or
to otherwise raise
capital. Any sale of our common shares in the future could result in dilution to existing shareholders and could adversely
affect the
market price of our common shares.
Also,
we may not be able
to raise additional capital in the future to support the development and commercialization of our products, which could
result in in a significant decline in the
value of our common shares or the loss of someall or alla portion of one’san investment in our common shares.
Our likelihood of profitability depends on our ability to license and/or develop and commercialize our products based on our technology, which is currently in the development stage. If we are unable to complete the development and commercialization of our cell-based products and CDMO services successfully, or are unable to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, our likelihood of profitability will be limited severely.
We are engaged in the business of developing cell-based products. We have not realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will realize any profits in the short or medium term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon successful commercialization of our regenerative aesthetics, wellness and longevity activities, cell-based services and products and/or licensing of our products, which will require additional research and development.
On April 30, 2020, we and
our subsidiaries, Pluri Biotech Ltd. and Pluristem GmbH, entered into the EIB Finance Agreement for a loan in the amount of up to €50
million in the aggregate, subject to certain milestones being reached, receivable in three tranches. During June 2021, we received the
first and final tranche in the amount of €20 million. The amount received iswas due to be repaid on June 1, 2026, and bears annual
interest of
4% to be paid together with the principal amount of the loan. As of June 30, 2025,2026, the interest accrued was in the amount
of approximately
€3.274.1 million. In addition to the interest payable, the EIB is also entitled to royalty payments, pro-rated to the
amount disbursed
from the EIB Loan, on our consolidated revenues beginning in the fiscal year 2024 up to and including its fiscal year
2030, in an amount
equal to up to 2.3% of our consolidated revenues below $350 million, 1.2% of our consolidated revenues between $350
million and $500
million and 0.2% of our consolidated revenues exceeding $500 million. As of June 30, 2025,2026, we had an accrued royalty
in the amount of
$12 $9 thousand.
We maintained discussions with the EIB with the objective of reaching a mutually agreed resolution regarding the EIB Loan. The EIB confirmed that during such discussion period, and while discussions remain ongoing, the EIB is not contemplating any enforcement action, all without prejudice to any of its rights and remedies. On August 17, 2026, we were notified by the EIB that its relevant committee had approved, subject to certain conditions, a proposed sale of the EIB Loan not involving the Company as purchaser, on terms agreed with a third-party purchaser, who may be a related party. Completion of such sale remains subject to, among other things, execution of definitive legal documentation and completion of the EIB’s review process and other conditions. If the proposed sale is completed, the Company intends to seek to reach an arrangement with the purchaser regarding the settlement of the purchased loan, which may include the conversion of all or a portion of the outstanding loan amount into equity of the Company. Any such arrangement would be subject to negotiation with the purchaser and the receipt of all required corporate and other approvals. Until the proposed sale is finalized and any subsequent arrangement with the purchaser is agreed and approved, there can be no certainty as to the outcome of the discussions, or that the EIB will continue to refrain from exercising remedies available to it under the finance agreement, or any assurance that any sale of the EIB Loan will be completed, that any settlement or conversion arrangement will be entered into or consummated, or as to the timing, structure, accounting treatment or financial statement impact of any such transaction.
We are currently in advanced
discussions with the EIB regarding a potential restructuring of the terms of the EIB Loan, which are currently focused on the new terms
of the EIB Loan, including an extension of the current maturity date of the EIB Loan. However, there is no certainty as to the outcome
of these discussions.
If
we fail to reachresolve, anon agreement
acceptable terms, our obligations in respect with the EIB about the repayment of the EIB Loan, or if we are unable to repay the EIB Loan when due, our financial condition
and liquidity
would be materially affected and it could impactmaterially adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
To
date, we have focused
our efforts primarily in the regenerative medicine field, in the food techFoodTech field, in the CDMO field, and in theregenerative
aesthetics, agriculturewellness field,and longevity activities, but
we may seek partners for licensing deals, joint ventures, partnerships, and direct
sale of our products or use of our technology in various
industries. Licensing deals, joint ventures and partnerships in new fields involve
numerous risks, including the potential integration
of our technology and products in various new ways, which may or may not be successful.
Such projects may require significant funds,
time and attention from management and other key personnel. In addition, as we do not have
experience in areas outside of the regenerative
medicine field and limited experience in the food tech,FoodTech, CDMO and agricultureregenerative fields,aesthetics,
wellness and longevity activities, we may lack the personnel to properly lead such
initiatives. There can be no assurance that we will
be successful in finding the relevant partners to fund and market our cell-based
products.
Risks
Related to Our CultivatedLongevity, FoodWellness and Aesthetics Business
Our longevity, wellness and aesthetics products may not achieve market acceptance, and we have limited operating and commercialization history in this business. Regulatory uncertainty and the potential for differing product classifications could subject these products to additional requirements and adversely affect our ability to commercialize them.
Our longevity, wellness and aesthetics products are at an early stage of either development or commercialization, and we have limited operating and commercialization history in this business. Market acceptance by consumers, clinics, medical spas, distributors, strategic partners and other channels is uncertain and will depend on, among other things, successful development, validation, scale-up, manufacturing, quality control, shelf life, stability, formulation, packaging, supply chain management and third-party distribution. Regulation of these products in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Israel and other markets is evolving and uncertain, and products may be classified or reclassified as cosmetics, wellness products, consumer health products, medical devices, drugs, biologics, tissue- or cell-based products or other regulated products depending on their intended use, ingredients, claims, labeling, distribution channels and professional use.
The FDA, Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and comparable international authorities oversee cosmetic labeling, advertising and claims, which must be truthful and not misleading, and products marketed as affecting the structure or function of the body or treating or preventing disease may be regulated as drugs or otherwise subject to additional requirements. Use of cell-derived ingredients, conditioned media, exosomes or other biologically derived materials could increase regulatory, safety, claims-substantiation, adverse-event, post-market monitoring, recall, import/export and enforcement risks. Regulators, customers or partners may disagree with our product characterization or claims, which could result in delays, increased costs, enforcement actions, product restrictions, recalls, reputational harm, inability to commercialize products or an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects. Any failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in delays, restrictions, recalls, enforcement actions, an inability to commercialize, reputational harm or an adverse impact on our business.
Risks Related to Our Cultivated FoodTech Business
Ever
After Foods has a limited operating
history in the field of cultivated or cultured meat (hereinafter,and “cultivatedis meat”)seeking to dateexpand its capabilities to additional cultivated
protein and seafood applications, including through the recently announced Fishway Acquisition. To-date, Ever After Foods and its prospects
are, willand beare expected to continue being, dependent
on its ability to meet a number of challenges.
Ever After Foods’ business prospects are difficult to predict due to its lack of operational history in the new and emerging food tech field, and its success will be dependent on its ability to meet a number of challenges. Because it has a limited operating history in the field of cultivated meat and it is in the early stages of development, Ever After Foods may not be able to evaluate its future prospects accurately. Ever After Foods’ prospects will be primarily dependent on its ability to successfully develop industrial scale cultivated meat and related cultivated protein or seafood applications, technologies and processes, and market these to its potential customers. If Ever After Foods is not able to successfully meet these challenges, its prospects, business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted. In addition, Ever After Food may not successfully integrate or implement the newly acquired Fishway assets, know-how, scientific capabilities, aquatic cell biology, animal-component-free media development, team and European presence, and the expected benefits may not be realized, may take longer or cost more than expected, or may disrupt our existing efforts In addition, Ever After Foods will be subject to changing laws, rules and regulations in the United States, Israel, Asia Pacific, the European Union and other jurisdictions relating to the food tech industry. Such laws and regulations may negatively impact Ever After Foods’ ability to expand its business and pursue business opportunities. Ever After Foods may also incur significant expenses to comply with the laws, regulations and other obligations that will apply to it.
In addition, Ever After Foods
will be subject to changing laws, rules and regulations in the United States, Israeli, Asia Pacific, the European Union and other jurisdictions
relating to the food tech industry. Such laws and regulations may negatively impact its ability to expand its business and pursue business
opportunities. Ever After Foods may also incur significant expenses to comply with the laws, regulations and other obligations that will
apply to it.
Ever
After Foods does not
currently have any products or technologies approved for sale and it is still in the early stages of development.
To date, Ever After
Foods has limited data on the ability of our and its technologies to successfully manufacture cultivated meat, towards
which they have
devoted substantial resources to date. Ever After Foods’ current technologies are, in large part, based on our technologies
and and
IP. It may not be successful in developing its technologies in a manner sufficient to support its expected scale-ups and future growth,
or at all. Ever After Foods expects that a substantial portion of its efforts and expenditures over the next few years will be devoted
to the development of technologies designed to enable Ever After Foods to market industrial scale cultivated meat manufacturing processes. Ever
After Foods cannot guarantee that it will be successful in developing these technologies, based on its current roadmap, or at all. If
Ever After Foods is able to successfully develop its cultivated meat and related cultivated protein or seafood technologies, it cannot
ensure that it will obtain regulatory approval
or that, following approval, upon commercialization its technologies will achieve market
acceptance. Any such delay or failure could
materially and adversely affect Ever After Foods’ financial condition, results of operations
and prospects.
As applicable, the manufacturing equipment that will be manufactured by Ever After Foods will comply with the FDA’s regulatory requirements for food contact substances and analogous foreign regulations. Ever After Foods will also ensure that the edible scaffolds and any other production materials it sells to its customers comply with applicable FDA standards. From a regulatory perspective, in the United States, we expect companies manufacturing finished cultivated meat and related cultivated protein or seafood products ( i.e., the companies that will license Ever After Foods’ manufacturing technologies) to be subject to regulation by various government agencies, including the FDA, the USDA, the FTC, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the requirements of various state and local agencies and laws, such as the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. We likewise expect these products to be regulated by equivalent agencies outside the United States by various international regulatory bodies.
The manufacturing of cultivated meat is expected to be subject to extensive regulations internationally, with products subject to numerous food safety and other laws and regulations relating to the sourcing, manufacturing, composition and ingredients, storing, labeling, marketing, advertising and distribution of these products. In addition, enforcement of existing laws and regulations, changes in legal requirements and/or evolving interpretations of existing regulatory requirements may result in increased compliance costs and create other obligations, financial or otherwise, that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, we could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and require companies both to keep accurate books and records and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. While our policies mandate compliance with anti-bribery laws, including the FCPA, our internal control policies and procedures may not protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees, contractors or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could result in government investigations, the assessment of fines and penalties, reputational damage, disruption to our business, and adverse impacts on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The USDA, state regulators or similar foreign regulatory authorities, such as Health Canada or the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (“CFIA”), or authorities of the EU or the EU member states (e.g., European Food Safety Authority, or EFSA), could take action that impacts our customers’ ability to use the term “meat” or “poultry” or similar words, such as “beef” or “chicken” , to describe their finished products. In addition, a food may be deemed misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular way, and the USDA, CFIA, EFSA or other regulators could interpret the use of the terms “meat” or “poultry” or any similar phrase(s) to describe our customers’ cultivated meat and related cultivated protein or seafood products as false or misleading or likely to create an erroneous impression regarding their composition. In the U.S., the USDA intends to issue new labeling requirements for foods under its jurisdiction produced through cell culture technology as noted in an ANPR published in September 2021.
In addition, certain of our
lines of business, such as our Agtechbiopharming and FoodTech lines (which include Coffeesai, Kokomodo and Ever After Foods) , will be subject
to to
changing laws, rules and regulations in the United States, Israel, Asia Pacific, the European Union and other jurisdictions. Such laws
and regulations may negatively impact their ability to expand their businesses and pursue business opportunities. Our subsidiaries may
also incur significant expenses to comply with the laws, regulations and other obligations that will apply to them.
We may need to raise additional financing to support our biopharming and plant-based business vertical and the research, development and manufacturing of their respective products. If we are unable to obtain additional financing to meet their needs, their operations may be adversely affected or terminated.
It is highly likely thatWe
we will need to raise significant additional capital from investors in the future to finance our biopharming and plant-based business vertical
operations. operations.
Our current capital may not be sufficient to finance our AgTech lines of businessbiopharming and the plant-based operations until we are able to complete

We could
fail to maintainregain compliance with theNasdaq AuditListing Committee
RequirementsRules and to maintain the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq, which could seriously
harm the liquidity of our shares and our
ability to raise capital or complete a strategic transaction.
On NovemberJuly 25,7, 2024,2026, we received
received a deficiency letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC (the “Nasdaq”),
notifying us that we are not in compliance with the Stockholders’MVLS EquityRequirement Requirement,under whichNasdaq requires
usListing toRule maintain5550(b)(2), aand minimumare of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity, nor werenot in compliance with
either of the alternative listing
standards, marketincluding valuehaving ofstockholders’ listed securitiesequity of at least $35$2.5 million or net income of $500,000
from continuing operations in the most
recently completed fiscal year, or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.
The Nasdaq Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common shares, which continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PLUR”.
Pursuant to the Nasdaq Letter, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we have been provided with an initial period of 180 calendar days, until January 4, 2027, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement (the “Compliance Period”). Nasdaq indicated that if, at any time during the Compliance Period, our MVLS closes at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (unless Nasdaq, in its discretion, requires a longer period, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days), Nasdaq will provide a written confirmation that we have regained compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance within the Compliance Period, we expect that Nasdaq will provide written notification that our securities are subject to delisting. At that time, we may be eligible to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
We are evaluating options to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement and intend to take appropriate actions to regain compliance; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with all applicable requirements or maintain compliance thereafter.
On January 6, 2025, we submitted
a plan to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”). Based on the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq determined to grant us an extension
of time to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement until May 24, 2025. On May 7, 2025, we received a letter
from Nasdaq, determining that the Company had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), due to the fact that for the 10 consecutive
business days from April 22, 2025, through May 6, 2025, the market value of the Company’s listed securities was $35 million or
greater, satisfying the requirement under Rule 5550(b)(2). Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the Shareholders’
Equity Requirement and remains in good standing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
We cannot guarantee that
we will continue to comply with the Nasdaq Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. If we fail to comply with the Nasdaq Stockholders’
Equity Requirement, Nasdaq could delist our common shares from trading on its exchange and if we are unable to obtain listing on another
national securities exchange or take action to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, we and our shareholders
could incur material adverse consequences, including a negative impact on our liquidity, our shareholders’ ability to sell shares
and our ability to raise capital As a result of the voting
outcome at our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), one of our then-current directors, who was
classified as an independent director, and acted as chairman of the Audit Committee and the sole member of the Investment Committee,
was not re-elected to our Board, and therefore ceased to serve as a director and as a member of the respective committees on which he
serves, effective June 30, 2025. On June 30, 2025, we notified Nasdaq that due to the departure of the director, we are no longer in
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) (the “Audit Committee Requirements”), which requires the audit committee
to be comprised of at least three independent directors. On July 2, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department
of Nasdaq, notifying us that consistent with Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide us a cure period to regain compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which will expire on the earlier of (i) our next annual meeting of shareholders or June 30, 2026,
or (ii) if our next annual meeting of shareholders is held before December 29, 2025, then we must evidence compliance no later than June
30, 2026. On September 10, 2025, we appointed a new independent director to our Board, who also joined our Audit Committee. Subsequently,
on September 11, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq, confirming that the Company had regained compliance with the Audit Committee
Requirement and that the matter is closed.
We intend to take all reasonable
measures available to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq’s listing Requirementsrequirements, including the MVLS Requirement and remain listed on
Nasdaq. However, there can
be no assurance that we will ultimately continue to maintain compliance with all applicable requirements for
continued listing.
Future sales of our common
shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause immediate dilution and adversely affect the market price of our common
shares. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing shareholders may be reduced,
and accordingly these shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity securities that provide for rights, preferences
preferences and privileges senior to those of our common shares. Given our need for cash and that equity raising is the most common type
of fundraising
for companies like ours, the risk of dilution is particularly significant for shareholders of our company.common shares.
Shareholder activism, proxy contests, shareholder proposals and other efforts by shareholders to influence our business, strategy, governance or Board composition could disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations and the market price of our common shares
Shareholders may seek to influence our business, strategy, capital allocation, governance practices or Board composition through private or public engagement, the accumulation of our common shares, shareholder proposals, director nominations, proxy contests, litigation, requests to inspect corporate books and records or other actions. These activities may relate to economic, strategic, environmental, social, governance or other matters, and may be undertaken by investors with differing or conflicting objectives, including objectives that may not align with the interests of our other shareholders or our long-term strategy.
Responding to actual or threatened shareholder activism or other efforts to influence the Company could require significant time and attention from our Board, management and employees, divert resources from our business and strategic initiatives, require us to incur substantial legal, advisory, proxy solicitation, public relations and other costs, and create uncertainty or adversely affect relationships with investors, employees, collaborators, customers and other business partners. Such activities could also result in changes to our strategy or operations, proxy contests or litigation and may adversely affect the market price or trading volatility of our common shares.
Beneficial ownership information may be incomplete, delayed or inaccurate because it depends on information reported by our shareholders and in SEC filings.
Beneficial ownership information included in our periodic reports is based on information furnished by the applicable beneficial owners or contained in filings made with the SEC. Under Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder, persons who beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding common shares may be required to report their beneficial ownership and certain changes in ownership to the SEC on Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G, as applicable. We report beneficial ownership information based on the information made available to us by applicable beneficial owners or through publicly available SEC filings, as and when received or filed, and cannot independently verify the completeness or accuracy of that information.
A person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of our outstanding common shares and does not qualify to report on Schedule 13G generally must file a Schedule 13D within five business days after the acquisition. Schedule 13D requires disclosure regarding, among other matters, the reporting person’s purpose in acquiring or holding our common shares and any plans or proposals relating to a potential change in or influence over control of the Company or certain other significant corporate transactions. Certain investors that satisfy applicable eligibility requirements, including passive investors that certify that their acquisition and holding of our common shares is not for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing control of the Company, may report their ownership on Schedule 13G instead.
The SEC has amended its beneficial-ownership reporting rules and issued interpretive guidance regarding the circumstances in which an investor may remain eligible to report on Schedule 13G rather than Schedule 13D. These requirements and related interpretations may affect the timing, content and availability of beneficial-ownership information publicly reported by significant shareholders. Accordingly, beneficial-ownership information reported in our periodic reports may not reflect changes in ownership or reporting status that occur after the date of the applicable information or filing, and investors may make investment or voting decisions based on information that is incomplete, delayed or inaccurate.

to Our Industries
TheConsolidation
and trendother towardsstrategic consolidationtransactions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries may
adversely affect us.
Companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may consummate mergers, acquisitions, business combinations, divestitures, restructurings and other strategic transactions from time to time. These developments may result in larger companies with greater financial resources, broader product portfolios, enhanced development, manufacturing, regulatory or commercialization capabilities, and increased bargaining power, which could intensify competition. Such transactions may also reduce the number of potential collaborators, licensees, suppliers, contract manufacturers, contract research organizations or acquirers for our product candidates or technologies. In addition, following a transaction, a potential or existing collaborator may reprioritize its pipeline or strategic objectives, reduce or discontinue investment in a program relevant to us, seek to renegotiate commercial terms, or elect to focus on products or technologies that compete with ours. As a result, we may be unable to enter into, maintain or obtain favorable terms under collaboration, license, development, manufacturing or commercialization arrangements, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
There is a trend towards
consolidation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This consolidation trend may result in the remaining companies having
greater financial resources and technical discovery capabilities, thus intensifying competition in these industries. This trend may also
result in fewer potential collaborators or licensees for our therapeutic product candidates. Also, if a consolidating company is already
doing business with our competitors, we may lose existing licensees or collaborators as a result of such consolidation. This trend may
adversely affect our ability to enter into license agreements or agreements for the development and commercialization of our product
candidates, and as a result may materially harm our business.

Cell Therapy
We use our advanced cell-based
technology platform in the field of regenerative medicine to develop placenta-based cell therapy product candidates for the treatment
of inflammatory, muscle injuries, hematologic conditions and, most recently, we have also launched a novel immunotherapy platform.
PLX cells
In July 2023, we announced
that we signed a three-year $4.2 million contract with the NIAID, under which we were to collaborate with the AFRRI and the USUHS, in
Maryland, U.S.A., to further advance the development of our PLX-R18 cell therapy as a potential novel treatment for H-ARS, a deadly disease
that can result from nuclear disasters and radiation exposure. On April 15, 2025, we received formal notice from NIAID that the contract
was being terminated for the Government’s convenience, effective immediately. The termination was not related to any performance
issues on our part, and we received funding for activities conducted up to the effective date. As of the date of this Annual Report,
we received a total of $2.3 million under the contract.
In March 2025, we announced
that we entered into an exclusive collaboration agreement with Hemafund, aiming to establish a strategic initiative for stockpiling,
local distribution, and potential clinical advancement of our PLX-R18 cell therapy as a countermeasure for H-ARS, in Ukraine. The collaboration
aims to build capacity for up to 12,000 doses of PLX-R18, which will be stored and managed by Hemafund to ensure rapid deployment in
the event of a radiation-related emergency. The parties also intend to pursue external funding to support manufacturing, stockpiling,
and potential clinical trials of PLX-R18 for regulatory registration in Ukraine. If successful, the collaboration could potentially generate
over $100 million in value for the parties, based on projected demand and dose estimates.
Immunotherapy MAIT cells:
In May 2024, we launched a novel immunotherapy platform utilizing MAIT cells specifically designed to address solid tumors.
In April 2024, we unveiled
a novel method for expansion of immune cells using proprietary technology and announced we were granted a new U.S. patent titled, “System
and Methods for Immune Cells Expansion and Activation in Large Scale.”
In October 2024, we announced
that the IIA approved funding for our collaboration with BIRAD, the commercial arm of Bar-Ilan University, to support the continued development
of placental-derived MAIT cells for the treatment of solid tumors. As part of this collaboration, novel Siglec-based Chimeric Switch
Receptors (“CCR”), developed by Professor Cyrille Cohen, Head of the laboratory of tumor immunology and immunotherapy at
Bar-Ilan University, will be integrated into our CAR-MAIT cell therapy platform to enhance tumor specificity and therapeutic efficacy.
The collaboration leverages our proprietary MAIT cell technology alongside BIRAD’s expertise in engineering clinically optimized
T-cell modification vectors. The IIA has committed to fund the collaboration for an initial term of one year, with an option to extend
for an additional year, subject to IIA approval. The total approved budget for the first year is NIS 549,067 (approximately $163,000).
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have received approximately $29,000 from the IIA for this project.
In April 2025, we announced
that the USPTO has issued a patent covering our immune cell expansion technologies. Additionally, we announced that we were issued a
patent in Israel, which mirrors a previously granted U.S. patent. Following these recent patent grants, our intellectual property
estate includes over 250 patents pending, allowed, and granted.
PluriCDMO™
In January 2024, we
announced that we are launching a new business division offering cell therapy manufacturing services as a CDMO: PluriCDMO™, as
well as other services. We have signed several agreements with clients and generating revenues from PluriCDMO™.
AgTech
We are actively involved
in several initiatives leveraged by Pluri’s 3D cell expansion in the AgTech field, which include:
(a) an innovative POC collaboration
with ICL, a leading global specialty minerals company, through its Open Innovation program, to revolutionize bio stimulant delivery and
enhance yield sustainably; and (b) a strategic POC agreement
with a leading international agriculture corporation aimed at boosting the global vegetable product supply, streamlining supply chains,
and promoting a more sustainable future for agriculture.
(c) the development of cell-cultured
coffee and cacao through business activities operated via our subsidiaries, Coffeesai and Kokomodo, respectively:
Coffeesai
In 2024, we established Coffeesai
Ltd., an Israeli company focused on developing cultivated, cell-cultured coffee.
Coffeesai has successfully
demonstrated a proof-of-concept coffee beverage, validating the potential of its technology. Ongoing efforts are focused on enhancing
flavor and aroma profiles through bioprocess optimization and downstream refinement. In parallel, Coffeesai is exploring research and
development collaborations aimed at accelerating development and commercialization with leading global coffee suppliers. A third-party
techno-economic assessment has confirmed the cost-competitiveness of the platform at scale, supporting its commercial viability.
Kokomodo
On January 23, 2025, the
Company entered into a binding term sheet (“Term Sheet”) for the purchase of certain shares representing approximately 79%
of the equity of Kokomodo, for an aggregate purchase price of $4.5 million, payable in common shares of the Company. Following the execution
of the Term Sheet, on March 13, 2025, the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Pluri Biotech, (collectively, the “Purchaser”),
entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), effective as of March 12, 2025, with Chutzpah Holdings
Limited (“Chutzpah”), a company wholly owned by Mr. Alejandro Weinstein, and Plantae Bioscience Ltd. (“Plantae”),
a corporation controlled by Mr. Weinstein (collectively, the “Seller”), pursuant to which, on April 28, 2025, the Seller
sold to the Purchaser 400,000 ordinary shares and 175,000 preferred seed-1 shares (the “Purchased Shares”), representing
approximately 79% of the equity of Kokomodo, for an aggregate purchase price of $4.5 million, payable in 976,139 of our common shares
(the “Consideration Shares”). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Seller also transferred, assigned and conveyed
in favor of the Purchaser a convertible loan, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”),
reflecting a principal aggregate amount of $0.5 million (together with the Purchased Shares, the “Purchased Interests” and
such transactions are referred to as the “Kokomodo Transaction”).
Kokomodo is an innovative
startup, pioneering the sustainable production of cacao using cellular agriculture technology. Instead of relying on traditional tropical
farming, Kokomodo cultivates real cacao directly from plant cells in controlled environments, such as bioreactors, making climate-resilient
cacao accessible year-round on a global scale. Founded in 2024, Kokomodo aims to transform the cacao industry, reducing environmental
impact while ensuring a steady, high-quality supply for chocolate and related products.
In March 2024, we announced
an important expansion to our IP portfolio with a new patent approval from the IPO, that is designed to reshape the agricultural technology
landscape and represents a major breakthrough in our proprietary 3D bioreactor technology, enabling efficient cultivation of plant cells
across various applications, from sustainable agriculture to critical healthcare solutions.
Food Tech
In 2022, we announced the
establishment of a joint venture with Tnuva - Ever After Foods, with a purpose to develop and commercialize scalable production technologies
for cultivated meat, supporting the development of a wide range of cultivated meat products by industry partners.
In June 2024, we entered
into the Agreement, by and among Ever After Foods, Tnuva, and certain other international investors, pursuant to which Ever After Foods
issued and sold ordinary shares in a private placement offering, or the Offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million. As part
of the Offering, we invested $1.25 million. In addition, our wholly owned subsidiary, Pluri Biotech, and Ever After Foods executed the Amended
and Restated Technology License Agreement, expanding the scope of the license to include fish and seafood.
The $10 million funding round
was intended to support Ever After Foods’ B2B technology platform, positioning it as a sustainable technology enabler. Following
the closing of the Offering, our wholly owned subsidiary, Pluri Biotech, holds approximately 69% of Ever After Foods.
In February 2025, Ever After
Foods announced a strategic collaboration with Bühler, to jointly advance scalable cultivated meat production systems specifically
designed for the food industry. The parties intend to develop and deploy manufacturing equipment that enables food producers to efficiently
produce cultivated meat at significantly reduced costs and at volumes suitable for market entry.
Revenues for the year ended
June 30, 20252026 were $1,336,000,$1,016,000, compared to $326,000$1,336,000 for the year ended June 30, 2024.2025. The revenues for the years ended June 30, 20252026
and 2024,2025, were primarily generated from services provided to CDMO clients for process and product development,development as well as income from
fees in the AgTech sector. The increase in revenues is mainly attributed to higher services provided to CDMO clients and additional revenues
from POC collaborationcollaborations in the AgTechFoodTech field. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by a lower volume of project activity as
compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025.
Cost
of revenues for the year ended June 30, 20252026 were $682,000,$563,000, compared to $4,000$682,000 for the year ended June 30, 2024.2025. Cost of revenues forincludes

R&D, net (costs less participation by the IIA, Horizon Europe and the NIAID) increased by 17% from $12,851,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025, to $15,092,000 for the year ended June 30, 2026. The increase was mainly attributable to (1) an increase in salaries and related expenses due to foreign exchange differences and the addition of new employees following the acquisition of our subsidiary, Kokomodo, partially offset by headcount reductions as part of the implementation of a cost-reduction plan, (2) an increase in lease expenses of our facilities mainly due to Ever After Foods’ new operating facility, and (3) an increase in share-based compensation expenses related to Ever After Foods’s options granted to an Ever After Foods’s employee, partially offset by (4) a decrease in participation by NIAID and (5) a decrease in R&D expenses following POC activities in our subsidiaries.
Research and development,
net (costs less participation by the IIA, Horizon Europe and the NIAID) increased by 3% from $12,446,000 for the year ended June 30,
2024, to $12,851,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025. The increase is mainly attributed to (1) an increase related to subcontractors
in immunotherapy and AgTech projects and an increase due to write off provisions in clinical studies following its completion, partially
offset by (2) a decrease in materials costs related to a supplier credit and a decrease due to material purchases in line with our manufacturing
needs and plans, (3) a decrease in participation by NIAID, and (4) a decrease in R&D expenses due to classification of expenses into
cost of revenues.
General and administrative expenses increased by 3% from $9,979,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025, to $10,299,000 for the year ended June 30, 2026. The increase was mainly attributable to (1) an increase in share-based compensation expenses related to restricted shares (“RS”), which were granted during the reporting period to consultants, as well as restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options granted to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in recognition of the achievement of certain performance objectives and other accomplishments during fiscal year 2025, and to Ever After Foods’s options granted to an Ever After Foods’s employee; and (2) an increase in salaries and related expenses primarily due to foreign exchange differences and the addition of new employees following the acquisition of our subsidiary, Kokomodo, partially offset by (3) a reduction in our CEO’s salary, whereby he waived 25% of his salary from July through December 2025, and 30% of his salary between January and February 2026, as well as the implementation of a cost-reduction plan, which included a reduction in headcount, and (4) a decrease in expenses related to corporate activities, such as professional services expenses.
General and administrative
expenses decreased by 0.5% from $10,034,000 for the year ended June 30, 2024, to $9,979,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025. This decrease
was primarily driven by a reduction in share-based compensation expenses, mainly attributed to employee terminations and amortization
of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) expenses over time. This reduction was partially offset by: (1) an increase in salaries
and related expenses due to the reinstatement of the salary of Mr. Yaky Yanay, our CEO (following his salary reduction from January 2023
through December 2023, whereby he waived 75% of his salary and converted it to RSUs, and options), (2) an increase in salaries and related
expenses due to reinstatement of temporary reduction in employees’ regular working hours for a limited period in December 2023,
(3) an increase in bonus expenses for certain employees, including our CEO and Mrs. Chen Franco-Yehuda, our former Chief Financial Officer
(“CFO”), related to performance-based bonuses pursuant to their respective employment agreements, and (4) increased share-based
compensation expenses related to RSUs and options granted during the prior year to employees, officers, directors and consultants.
Other Financial Income (expenses), Net
Other financial income (expenses), net, increased from $206,000 in financial expenses for the year ended June 30, 2025 to $476,000 in financial income for the year ended June 30, 2026. The change was mainly attributable to (1) exchange rate differences expenses related to the EIB Loan following fluctuation between the U.S. dollar against the Euro, and (2) an increase in income derived from hedging transactions, partially offset by (3) a decrease from change in fair value of warrant, pre-funded warrant and Kokomodo’s simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”) liabilities, (4) a decrease in interest income from deposits, due to lower deposit balances following withdrawals, and (5) a decrease due to exchange rate expenses on a lease liability and on deposits due to the strength of the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”), against the U.S. Dollar.
Financial income (expenses),
net, decreased from $1,680,000 in financial income for the year ended 2024 to $206,000 in financial expenses for the year ended June
30, 2025. This decrease is mainly attributed to (1) exchange rate differences expenses related to the EIB Loan pursuant to the EIB Finance
Agreement, following fluctuation between the U.S. dollar against the Euro, (2) a decrease in interest income from deposits, resulting
from lower interest rates and reduced deposit levels due to withdrawals, and (3) a decrease due to exchange rate expenses on a lease
liability due to the strength of the NIS against the U.S Dollar, partially offset by (4) an increase in income from hedging transactions,
and (5) an increase in income from change in fair value of warrant and pre-funded warrant liabilities. Our primary expenses paid in NIS
are employee salaries, and lease payments on our facilities. From time to time, we may apply a hedging strategy by using options and
forward contracts to protect ourselves against some of the risks of currency exchange fluctuations and we are actively monitoring the
exchange rate differences of the NIS, Euro and U.S. Dollar.
Interest
expenses increased from $873,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025, to $932,000 for the year ended June 30, 2026. Interest expenses related
to our outstanding balance of the EIB Loan and all changes during the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to the year
ended June 30, 2024, are attributable solely to currency rate differences of the Euro compared to
the U.S. dollar.
Net Loss for the Year
Net loss increased from $23,250,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025, to $25,369,000 for the year ended June 30, 2026. The increase in net loss was mainly due to an increase in R&D expenses, net, and increased general and administrative expenses, as mentioned above.
NetWe had a net loss increased from $21,344,000attributed
for the year ended June 30, 2024, to $23,250,000our non-controlling interest of $1,548,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net loss was mainly due to exchange
rate differences expenses as mentioned above. We had a net loss attributed to our non-controlling interest in Ever After Foods for the
year ended June 30, 2024 of $456,000,2026, and $667,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025 with respect
to Ever After Foods and Kokomodo.

On February 13, 2024, we
entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P”), as agent,
pursuant to which we may issue and sell our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $10 million, from time to time through

Securities Purchase Agreements and Share Purchase Agreement
In April 2020, we and our
subsidiaries, Pluri Biotech and Pluristem GmbH, executed the EIB Finance Agreement for non-dilutive funding of up to €50 million
in the aggregate, payable in three tranches. The proceeds from the EIB Finance Agreement were intended to support our R&D in the
European Union to further advance our regenerative cell therapy platform, and to bring the products in our pipeline to market. The initial
funding period under the EIB Finance Agreement was three years commencing on January 1, 2020.
During June 2021, we received
the first tranche in the amount of €20 million pursuant to the EIB Finance Agreement. The amount received is due to be repaid on
June 1, 2026, and bears annual interest of 4% to be paid together with the principal of the loan. We are currently in advanced discussions
with the EIB regarding a potential restructuring of the EIB Loan terms, which are currently focused on the new terms of the EIB Loan,
including an extension of the current maturity date of the EIB Loan. However, there is no certainty as to the outcome of these discussions.
As of June 30, 2025, the interest accrued was in the amount of approximately €3.27 million. In addition to the interest payable,
the EIB is also entitled to royalty payments, pro-rated to the amount disbursed from the EIB Loan, on our consolidated revenues beginning
in the fiscal year 2024 up to and including its fiscal year 2030, in an amount equal to up to 2.3% of our consolidated revenues below
$350 million, 1.2% of our consolidated revenues between $350 million and $500 million and 0.2% of our consolidated revenues exceeding
$500 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accrued royalty in the amount of $12 thousand. Since the initial funding period under the
EIB Finance Agreement ended on December 31, 2022, we do not expect to receive additional funds pursuant to the EIB Finance Agreement.
On
January 23, 2025, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with a company wholly owned by Mr. Alexandre Weinstein (the “Investor”)
relating to a private placement offering (the “2025 Offering”) of: (i) 1,383,948 of our common shares, par value $0.00001
per per
share, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), to purchase up to 26,030 common shares, and (iii) warrants
(the
“Common Warrants”), to purchase up to 84,599 common shares. On April 25, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we and the Investor agreed to exchange 976,139 of the common shares for additional Pre-Funded Warrants
to purchase up to 976,139 common shares. The 2025 Offering price per share and accompanying warrant was $4.61. The Pre-Funded Warrants
have have
an exercise price of $0.0001$0.00001 per share, are exercisable at any time following the receipt of certain approvals from our shareholders,
which is required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and until exercised in full. The Common Warrants have an exercise
price of $5.568 per share, are exercisable following the receipt of approval from our shareholders, and will be exercisable for three
years following the date of receipt of such approval. Such approval for the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants was sought
and obtained at our 2025 Annual Meeting on June 30, 2025. The Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants contain customary anti-dilution
provisions and were subject to a 19.99% beneficial ownership limitation until the approval from our shareholders was obtained. The Securities
Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Investor and customary indemnification
rights and obligations of the parties. On October 23, 2025, 1,002,169 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised into 1,002,169 common shares
of the Company, at a nominal exercise price of $0.00001 per share. The gross proceeds from the 2025 Offering were $6.5 million and we
intend to use the proceeds from the 2025 Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The 2025 Offering closed on February
5, 2025, following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we appointed
Mr. Weinstein to our Board, effective February 5, 2025, and agreed to recommend his election to our shareholders provided that he continues
to hold at least 10% of our issued and outstanding common shares.

Immunotherapy
MAIT cells
- In May 2024, we launched a novel allogenicallogeneic immunotherapy platform utilizing MAIT cells specifically designed to address
solid tumors
- a critical area in medicine where effective treatments are currently insufficient. We believe that our MAIT cells, isolated
from the
human placenta, offer substantial potential benefits compared to conventional T-cells.
Placental MAIT cells
cells are potent effector cells, potentially targeting tumors through multiple mechanisms while expressing high levels of various chemokine
receptors, which facilitate their migration directly to tumor sites. Furthermore, unlike conventional autologous T-cells typically collected
from peripheral blood, our MAIT cells are designed to be an allogenic universal product. BenefitingGiven withtheir veryhighly restricted TT-cell cellreceptor
profile, receptor,
the MAIT cells minimize their likelihood of inducing GvHD, a significant advantage over other potential allogeneic products.
We are aiming
to design the MAIT cells to potentially show better persistence in the body for a longer duration, enhancing their therapeutic
efficacy.

In
April 2020, we and our
subsidiaries, Pluri Biotech and Pluristem GmbH, entered into a finance agreement with the EIB, providing for non-dilutive
funding of up
to €50 million, payable in three tranches (the “EIB Loan”). In June 2021, the Company received the
first tranche
in the amount of €20 million, which represents the only amount disbursed under the EIB finance agreement, as the initial funding
funding period expired on December 31, 2022 and no additional funds are made available thereunder.
The
€20 million loan
bears annual interest at a rate of 4% and is repayable on June 1, 2026, with interest payable together with the
principal. As of December March
31, 2025,2026, accrued interest amounted to approximately €3.63.9 million. Discussions are still being held with
the EIB regarding a potential restructuring of the EIB Loan, including a possible extension of its maturity date; however, there is no
certainty as to the outcome of these discussions. In addition to the interest, the EIB is entitled to royalty payments,
pro-rated to
the amount disbursed from the EIB Loan, on the Company’s consolidated revenues from fiscal year 2024 through fiscal
year 2030,
at rates of up to 2.3% on consolidated revenues below $350 million, 1.2% on consolidated revenues between $350 million and
$500 million,
and 0.2% on consolidated revenues exceeding $500 million. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, accrued royalties amounted to $5$6 thousand.
On April 21, 2026, we received a notice from the EIB reserving its rights under the finance agreement; however, discussions with the EIB
regarding potential alternatives with respect to the EIB Loan, including a possible extension of its maturity date, remain ongoing. There
can be no assurance as to the outcome of these discussions or the timing or terms of any resolution.
According
to the IIA grant
terms, we are required to pay royalties at a rate of 3% on sales of products and services derived from technology developed
using this
and other IIA grants until 100% of the dollar-linked grants amount plus interest are repaid. In the absence of such sales,
no payment
is required. Through DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, total grants obtained from the IIA aggregated to approximately $28.2 million and total royalties
royalties paid and accrued amounted to $179 thousand.
On
October 28, 2024, we announced
that the IIA will fund our collaboration with Bar-Ilan University Research and Development Company Ltd.
(“BIRAD”), to support
the continued development of MAIT cells for the treatment of solid tumors. As part of this collaboration,
novel Chimeric Switch Receptors,
developed by Prof. Cohen, head of laboratory of tumor immunology and immunotherapy at Bar-Ilan University,
will be integrated into our
CAR-MAIT cell therapy platform to enhance tumor specificity and therapeutic efficacy. The collaboration leverages
our proprietary MAIT
cell technology alongside BIRAD’s expertise in engineering clinically optimized T-cell modification vectors.
The IIA has committed
to fundfunding the collaboration for an initial term of one year, with an option to extend it for an additional year,
subject to the IIA’s approval.year. During October 2025,
we received approval for an additional month to finish the program untilby November
30, 2025. The total approved budget for the first year is
was NIS 549,067 (approximately $172,000$174,000). On March 4, 2026, we received approval from the IIA for the second year of funding for the collaboration.
The total approved budget for the second year amounts to NIS 597,572 (approximately $189,000).
An
amount of approximately
€500,000 (approximately $540,000) is a direct grant that will be allocated to us. Through DecemberMarch 31, 2025,
2026, we received a payment of
approximately $330,000 in cash as part of the PROTO program.
As
of DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, our
cash balances (cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, restricted cash and restricted bank deposits)
totaled $13,645,000. $10,495,000.
We are addressing our liquidity issues by implementing cost-saving initiatives to allow the continuation of our activities.
Our current
operating plan includes various assumptions concerning the level and timing of cash outflows for operating activities and
capital expenditures,
which include a cost-reduction plan.
Our
ability to successfully
carry out our business plan, is primarily dependent upon our ability to (1) obtain sufficient additional capital,
(2) enter licensing
or other commercial,commercial partnerships and collaboration agreements, (3) provide CDMO services to clients, (4) enter into
an agreement with
the EIB regarding the EIB Loan restructuring and (5) receive other sources of funding, including non-dilutingnon-dilutive sources
such as grants.
There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for the
long-term development
and commercialization of our products, or any financing at all. In the event thatIf we are unable to obtain the required
level of financing, our operations
may need to be scaled down or discontinued.
According
to our management’s
estimates, we have sufficient resources to meet our operating obligations for a period of less than sixthree months
from the issuance date
of our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which was FebruaryMay 12,14, 2026. These conditions
raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern.
