Note 1 – General
 

Steakholder Foods Ltd. (formerly Ophectra Real Estate and Investments Ltd., Meat-Tech 3D Ltd. and MeaTech 3D Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Israel on July 22, 1992 as a private company limited by shares in accordance with the Companies Ordinance, 1983, and later a publicly-traded company whose ordinary shares were listed for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). In March 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market, listing American Depositary Shares (ADSs) for trade under the ticker STKH, and later voluntarily de-listed its ordinary shares from the TASE. The Company’s official address is 5 David Fikes St., Rehovot, Israel. In August 2022, the Company changed its name from MeaTech 3D Ltd. to Steakholder Foods Ltd.

 

The Company’s foodtech activities commenced in July 2019 by a company called MeaTech Ltd., which merged with the Company in January 2020 and became a fully-owned subsidiary, now called Steakholder Innovation Ltd. As the Company was the surviving entity of the merger, and continued the pre-merger business operations, utilizing the pre-merger management and employees, of MeaTech Ltd., the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition that does not constitute a business combination. 

 

The Company is developing a suite of advanced high-throughput manufacturing technologies to produce cell-based alternative protein products for cultivated, sustainable meat production, and focused on developing premium, center-of-plate meat products, including development of high-throughput bioprinting systems. 

 

Since inception the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of USD 46.1 million. The Company has financed its operations mainly through fundraising from various investors.    

 

The Company’s management expects that the Company will continue to generate losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. Based on the projected cash flows and cash balances as of June 30, 2022, management is of the opinion that its existing cash will be sufficient to fund operations until Q2 2023. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


Management’s plans include the continue securing sufficient financing through the sale of additional equity securities or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. Additional funds may not be available when the Company needs them on terms that are acceptable to it, or at all. If the Company is unsuccessful securing sufficient financing, it may need to cease operations.


The financial statements include no adjustments for measurement or presentation of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company fail to operate as a going concern.

Note 2 Basis of preparation of the Financial Statements

 

  A.
Statement of compliance with IFRS
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all of the information required in full annual financial statements.
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 24, 2022.
 
The main accounting policy and calculation methods applied in the preparation of these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the year 2021.

 

  B.
Use of estimates and judgments
 
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments for preparing the assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It should be clarified that actual results may differ from such estimates.
 
The judgments made by management, when applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key assumptions used in assessments that involve uncertainty, are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements.

 

  C.
Functional currency and presentation currency
 
The New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company and its Israeli subsidiary operate, and is therefore the functional currency of their operations. The Euro is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company’s European subsidiaries operate, and is therefore the functional currency of their operations. Nonetheless, for reporting purposes, the consolidated financial statements, which were prepared on the basis of the functional currencies, were translated into US Dollars, which the Company selected as its presentation currency, as its securities are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets, and in order to make the Company’s financial statements more accessible to U.S.-based investors.
 
Assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate of the end of the period; expenses and income were translated at the exchange rate at the time they were generated. Exchange rate differentials generated due to such translation are attributed to the Currency translation differences reserve.

Note 3 – Material Events in the reporting period

 

In January 2022, Messrs. Steven Lavin, Daniel Ayalon, Sharon Fima and Omri Schanin stepped down as directors of the Company, and Mr. Fima also resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer. At that time, Mr. Yaron Kaiser was appointed to the Board as its Chairman, and Mr. Arik Kaufman was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In April 2022, Mr. Schanin resigned as Deputy Chief Executive Officer.

 

In March 2022, the Company’s headquarters were relocated to new, more spacious premises with state-of-the-art laboratories in Rehovot, Israel. The new space, allows the Company to enhance its cultured meat research and development, including three-dimensional bioprinting technology, and to continue growing its biology and engineering teams.

Contractual term

 
4 years
 
Risk-free interest rate

The expected volatility (standard deviation) was determined on the basis of share price volatility in similar companies, due to the Company’s limited historic share price performance since the date of the merger in January 2020 described in Note 1A above. The estimated Contractual Term of the options is the full contractual life of the option. The risk-free interest rate was based on US bonds, with time to maturity equivalent to the expected useful life of the options. Share price was used according to quoted share prices on Nasdaq.

 
The total expense over the six and three months ended June 30, 2022, amounted to approximately USD 1.0 million (NIS 3.4 million) and USD 0.3 million (NIS 1.0 million), respectively.

Note 13 – Contingent Liabilities
 
From time to time, the Company may be party to litigation or other legal proceedings that it considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.
 
 
In November 2020, the Israeli Securities Authority, or ISA, initiated an administrative proceeding claiming negligent misstatement regarding certain immediate and periodic reports published by the Company’s predecessor (Ophectra) during the years 2017 and 2018, prior to the merger with MeaTech and prior to establishment of the settlement fund in connection with the Merger. In February 2021, the trustee of the settlement fund informed the Company that the ISA views the Company as a party to this proceeding, notwithstanding the settlement and establishment of the settlement fund. This proceeding is of an administrative nature and carries a potential penalty in the form of a monetary fine which, under applicable Israeli law, could be as high as NIS 5 million. In April 2021, following negotiations with the ISA, the Company agreed to settle the matter for $0.2 million (NIS 0.7 million), for which the Company recorded a provision. The settlement is subject to approval of the ISA’s Enforcement Committee. Similar proceedings were initiated with several other companies where the verdict, as of now, is that the companies are not to be held liable to the claims. There for, the Company initiated procedures to try and reclaim its innocence. As of now, due to lack of certainty, the Company keeps its provision stated above.
 
 
In February 2021, a civil claim was lodged against the settlement fund, relating to Ophectra's activities prior to establishment of the settlement fund, in an amount of USD $0.7 million (NIS 2.5 million). The Company believes that it is more likely than not that no final ruling will be decided against the settlement fund.

Exhibit 99.2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations provides information that we believe to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods described. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes to the financial statements, which are included in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. In addition, this information should also be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2022, or the Annual Report, including the consolidated annual financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and their accompanying notes included therein.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K contains historical information and forward-looking statements concerning Steakholder Foods’ business, operations and financial performance and condition as well as plans, objectives, and expectations for Steakholder Foods’ business operations and financial performance and condition. Any statements that are not historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect Steakholder Foods’ current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which change over time, and other factors that may cause Steakholder Foods’ actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan” or words or phases of similar meaning and include, without limitation, Steakholder Foods’ expectations regarding the success of its cultured meat manufacturing technologies it is developing, which will require significant additional work before Steakholder Foods can potentially launch commercial sales; Steakholder Foods’ research and development activities associated with technologies for cultured meat manufacturing, including three-dimensional meat production, which involves a lengthy and complex process; Steakholder Foods’ ability to obtain and enforce its intellectual property rights and to operate its business without infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights and proprietary technology of third parties; and other risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the Annual Report. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Steakholder Foods to predict their occurrence or how they will affect Steakholder Foods. If one or more of the factors affecting Steakholder Foods’ forward-looking information and statements proves incorrect, then Steakholder Foods’ actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this press release. Therefore, Steakholder Foods cautions you not to place undue reliance on its forward-looking information and statements. Steakholder Foods disclaims any duty to revise or update the forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking statements, except as specifically required by law. 

The terms “Steakholder Foods,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “ours” in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K refer to Steakholder Foods Ltd. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

General

We are an international deep-tech food company that initiated activities in 2019 and is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “STKH”. We maintain facilities in Rehovot, Israel and Antwerp, Belgium and are in the process of expanding activities to the USA. We believe that cultivated meat technologies hold significant potential to improve meat production, simplify the meat supply chain, and offer consumers a range of new product offerings.  

We aim to provide an alternative to industrialized animal farming that reduces carbon footprint, minimizes water and land usage, and prevents the slaughtering of animals. By adopting a modular factory design, we expect to be able to offer a sustainable solution for producing a variety of beef, chicken and pork products, both as raw materials and whole cuts.


We are developing cultivated meat technologies, including three-dimensional printing technology, together with biotechnology processes and customizable manufacturing processes in order to manufacture cultivated meat that does not require animal slaughter. We are developing a novel, proprietary three-dimensional bioprinter to deposit layers of differentiated stem cells, scaffolding, and cell nutrients in a three-dimensional form of structured cultured meat. We believe the cultured meat production processes we are developing, which are designed to offer our eventual customers an alternative to industrial slaughter, have the potential to improve the quality of the environment, shorten global food supply chains, and reduce the likelihood of health hazards such as zoonotic diseases transferred from animals to humans (including viruses, such as virulent avian influenza and COVID-19, and drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, such as some strains of salmonella).

In December 2021, we announced that we had successfully three-dimensionally printed a 3.67 oz cultivated steak, primarily composed of cultivated real fat and muscle tissues. While cultivated meat companies have made some progress developing unstructured alternative meat products, such as minced meat and sausage, to the best of our knowledge, the industry has struggled in developing high-margin, high-value structured and cultured meat products such as steak. Unlike minced meat, a cultured meat steak product has to grow in fibers and contain connective tissues and fat. To be adopted by diners, we believe cultured steaks will need to be meticulously engineered to look and smell like conventional meat, both before and after cooking, and to taste and feel like meat to the diner. We believe that we are the first company to be developing both a proprietary bioprinter and the related processes for growing cultivated meat to focus on what we believe is a high value sector of the alternative protein market.

We are led by our Chief Executive Officer, Arik Kaufman, who has founded various Nasdaq- and TASE-traded foodtech companies, and currently serves as a director of Wilk Technologies Ltd.  He is also a founding partner of the BlueSoundWaves collective, led by Ashton Kutcher, Guy Oseary and Effie Epstein, which recently partnered with Steakholder Foods to assist in attempting to accelerate our growth. Mr. Kaufman holds extensive personal experience in the fields of food-tech and bio-tech law, and has led and managed numerous complex commercial negotiations, as part of local and international fundraising, M&A transactions and licensing agreements. We have carefully selected personnel for the rest of our executive management team who possess substantial industry experience and share our core values, from fields as diverse as tissue engineering, industrial stem cell growth, and printer and print materials development.

Recent Developments
 
In August 2022, we announced a corporate re-branding, in the course of which our name MeaTech 3D Ltd. (Nasdaq: MITC) was changed to Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), as part of the message that anyone can become a “steakholder” in our mission to develop high-quality real meat that is delicious, nutritious and sustainable.
 
In July 2022, we consummated a securities purchase agreement with a single U.S. institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 600,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing ten (10) ordinary shares of no par value, at a price of $3.50 per ADS, pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,257,143 ADSs at a price of $3.4999 with an exercise price of $0.0001 per ADS, and warrants to purchase 1,857,143 ADSs for five years with an exercise price of $3.50 per ADS. The securities were offered in the framework of a registered direct offering. The gross proceeds were approximately $6.5 million, and the net proceeds were approximately $5.8 million.
 
In May 2022, we announced the development of a novel, multi-nozzle 3D bioprinting system for industrial scale production of complex cultured meat products without impacting cell viability. We plan to offer the technology to third parties via a wholly-owned private subsidiary as a potential additional revenue stream and to accelerate commercialization.
