NOTE 1 — GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.)
c. | Liquidity |
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Group incurred a net loss of $3,875 thousand and cash flows used in operating activities were $ 3,534 thousand. As of June 30, 2024, the Group had an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,151 thousand.

While the Company generated negative cash flow from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s management believes that its current cash resources of $1.53 million, together with the realization of inventory in the near future will generate sufficient cash flow for the Company to carry out its operations during the 12 months from September 30, 2024, the date of issuance of these financial statements.
NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. | Unaudited Interim Financial Statements |

Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
c. | Use of estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates on an ongoing basis its assumptions, including those related to contingencies, deferred taxes, inventory impairment, derivative liability, useful lives of intangible assets, intangible assets impairment as well as in estimates used in applying the revenue recognition policy. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
In the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments exercised by management in the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the uncertainty involved in the key sources of those estimates were identical to the ones used in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
d. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
e. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted |
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU also includes other changes to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures, including further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU also allows, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with U.S. GAAP, the disclosure of additional measures of segment profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE
a. | On February 23, 2023, the Company and Jeffs’ Brands Holdings entered into a stock purchase agreement (as amended on March 22, 2023, the “Wellution Agreement”), with SciSparc Ltd. (“SciSparc”), pursuant to which, on March 22, 2023, Jeffs’ Brands Holdings acquired from SciSparc 57 shares of common stock of SciSparc U.S., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SciSparc that owns and operates Wellution, an Amazon food supplements and cosmetics brand, representing approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of SciSparc U.S., for approximately $3.0 million in cash. The Company reviewed the transaction and deemed it to be the purchase of assets for accounting purposes under ASC Subtopic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and not as a business combination. The Company reviewed the guidance under ASC 805 for the transaction and determined that the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable asset, a brand. |
In connection with the closing of the Wellution Agreement, on March 22, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with SciSparc U.S. (the “SciSparc Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will provide management services to SciSparc U.S. for the Wellution brand for a monthly fee of $20 thousand and the Company received a one-time signing bonus in the amount of $51 thousand. The SciSparc Consulting Agreement is for an undefined period of time and may be terminated by either party with 30 days advance notice. On September 4, 2024, the Company and SciSparc U.S. entered into an amendment to the SciSparc Consulting Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment to the SciSparc Consulting Agreement, the monthly fee was reduced to $10 thousand beginning on November 2023.
Jeffs’ Brands Holdings owns 49% of the voting rights in SciSparc U.S and has the right to appoint two out of five directors. Management has determined that it has significant influence over SciSparc U.S and accordingly accounts for its investment under the equity method.
The Company did not obtain any substantive processes, assembled workforce, or employees capable of producing outputs in connection with the acquisition. Therefore, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business as defined by ASC 805, Business Combinations.
The activity in the investment accounted for using the equity method was as follows:

Balance as of January 1, 2024 | 1,940 | |||

NOTE 4 — SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD
a. | On January 25, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $7.275 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the Private Placement. The Private Placement closed on January 29, 2024 (“Issuance Date”).
As part of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of (i) 1,884,461 Ordinary Shares; (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 820,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $0.00001 per Ordinary Share; (iii) Series A Warrants to purchase up to 3,380,586 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $2.69 per Ordinary Share (subject to certain anti-dilution and share combination event protections) and have a term of sixty-six (66) months from the date of issuance; and (iv) Series B Warrants to purchase, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 7,994,181 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $0.00001 Ordinary Share (following the end of an adjustment period as further described below). The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable as of the date of the issuance and will not expire until exercised in full.
L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd. (“Pure Capital”) participated in the private placement as a purchaser and purchased securities in the amount of $300 thousand. see note 9.c.2.
The number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Series A and Series B Warrant was subject to an adjustment determined by the trading price of the Ordinary Shares following the effectiveness of a resale registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) (see below) that the Company undertook to file, subject to a pricing floor of $0.68 per Ordinary Share. Pursuant to such, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares underlying each of the Series A and Series B Warrants would have been an aggregate of 13,373,177 Ordinary Shares and 7,994,181 Ordinary Shares, respectively.
Following the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, on March 11, 2024 (i) Series A Warrants are exercisable into a total number of 13,373,177 Ordinary Shares (subject to certain anti-dilution and share combination event protections) and have an exercise price of $0.68 per Ordinary Share; and (ii) Series B Warrants are exercisable into a total number of 7,904,181 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of per Ordinary Share $0.00001, following the adjustment. Subsequent to such adjustment, the Series B Warrants have a term of sixty-six (66) months from the date of issuance. |
As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, pre-funded warrants to purchase 820,000 Ordinary Shares and Series B Warrants to purchase 5,257,127 Ordinary Shares were exercised for an aggregate issuance of 6,077,127 Ordinary Shares.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company also entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”) dated January 25, 2024, pursuant to which Aegis agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection with the Private Placement. The Company agreed to pay Aegis a cash placement fee equal to 8.50% of the gross cash proceeds received in the Private Placement and to pay for expenses of the purchasers’ and Aegis’ legal counsel up to an aggregate amount of $90 thousand.
b. | On April 25, 2024, the Company received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), because the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares was below $1.00 per Ordinary Share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The Company was granted 180 calendar days, or until October 22, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company can regain compliance if, at any time during this 180-day period, the closing bid price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
In the event that the Company does not regain compliance after the initial 180-day period, the Company may then be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq. |

a. | On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Fort SPA”), with the holders (the “Sellers”), of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Fort, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and engaged in the sale of pest control products primarily through Amazon.uk, pursuant to which on March 9, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Fort, for approximately £2 million (approximately $2.4 million) (the “Fort Acquisition”). |
On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a side letter to the Fort SPA with the Sellers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to increase certain adjustment amount payments to the Sellers by approximately £100 thousand (approximately $128 thousand).
On March 9, 2023, the Company recognized the amount of $1,991 thousand paid in connection with the Fort Acquisition amortized over a period of ten (10) years.
As part of the Fort SPA, the employment of these employees was terminated within three months, with all termination costs to be borne by the Sellers.
Also, in connection with the closing of the Fort Acquisition, on March 9, 2023, Fort and the Sellers entered into a consulting agreement, pursuant to which the Sellers will provide the Company with consultancy services for a period of six months following the closing, at a monthly fee of £2.5 thousand (approximately $3 thousand). On September 20, 2023, the Company and the Sellers entered into a new consulting agreement for indefinite period at a monthly fee of £3.5 thousand (approximately $4.5 thousand) effective as of June 1, 2023 (the “Fort Consulting Agreement”). On July 9, 2024 the Fort Consulting Agreement was terminated.
The Company did not obtain any substantive processes, assembled workforce, or employees capable of producing outputs in connection with the acquisition. Therefore, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business as defined by ASC 805, Business Combinations.

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Additional Warrants
On November 28, 2022, the Company issued additional warrants (the “Additional Warrants”), following certain adjustments pursuant to the terms of the warrants issued as part of the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “IPO Warrants”), to purchase up to 403,504 Ordinary Shares to certain qualified buyers, as defined in the IPO Warrants. The term of each Additional Warrant is five years from the issuance date. Each Additional Warrant holder receives semi-annual payments equal to approximately 2.3% of the Company’s gross revenues, calculated for the first and second six-month fiscal periods, shared pro rata among qualified holders (“Revenue Sharing Payment”). As of June 30, 2024, the Revenue Sharing Payment was equal to approximately 2.3% of the Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company determined that the Additional Warrants preclude equity classification due to the Revenue Sharing Payment feature. As such, the Additional Warrants were classified as a derivative liability. The derivative liability is recorded at fair value and amounted to $922 thousand as of June 30, 2024.
Additionally, the revenue forecast over the life of the Additional Warrants is a significant input in determining the price of the Additional Warrants as of June 30, 2024.
Series A Warrants
As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued Series A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,380,586 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $2.69 per Ordinary Share (subject to certain anti-dilution and share combination event protections) as of the Issuance Date. Following effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, on March 11, 2024, the Series A Warrants are exercisable into an aggregate of 13,373,208 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $0.68 per Ordinary Share (subject to certain anti-dilution and share combination event protections). The Series A Warrants were immediately exercisable, and set to expire within sixty-six (66) months from the date of issuance. According to terms of the Series A Warrants, in an event of a Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Series A Warrant) or a Share Combination Event (as defined in the Series A Warrant), if the lowest share price during the five consecutive trading days commencing on the date on which the Share Combination Event is effected is less than the exercise price per Ordinary Share (“Exercise Price”), and the total exercise price will be reduced and the number of Series A Warrant shares issuable hereunder shall be increased in such that the aggregate exercise price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price on the issue date.
The Company determined that the Series A Warrants preclude equity classification due to the anti-dilutive protection feature. As such, the Series A Warrants were classified as a derivative liability. The derivative liability is recorded at fair value and amounted to $5,484 thousand as of June 30, 2024.

Other Income
Our other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $60 compared to $158 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

5
Critical Accounting Estimates
We describe our significant accounting policies more fully in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report other than as described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We believe that the accounting policies described below and in Note 2 to unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are critical in order to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since Jeffs’ Brands’ inception in March 2021 to date, we have financed our operations primarily through funds we received from loans and proceeds from sales on Amazon (after deducting FBA fees and advertising fees) and the issuance of ordinary shares, no par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, and warrants. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately $2,815 and $2,153, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.
The table below presents our cash flow for the periods indicated:
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
U.S. dollars in thousands | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (3,534 | ) | $ | (1,169 | ) | ||
Net cash used in investing activities | (436 | ) | (4,683 | ) | ||||
Net cash from (used in) financing activities | 6,255 | (86 | ) | |||||
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | 2,285 | (5,938 | ) |
We expect that for the foreseeable future we will finance our activities using the proceeds from sales of our existing and future brands.
Operating Activities
Our net cash used in operating activities was $3,534 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash from operating activities of $1,169 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $2,365, or 239%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net loss for the period of $2,047, an increase in inventory of $1,216, a decrease in accounts payable and other payables in the amount of $777, partially offset by an increase in change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,071 and issuance cost on derivative liabilities of $603.
Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities was $436 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4,683 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $4,247. The decrease was primarily attributable to the acquisition of an interest in SciSparc Nutraceuticals Inc. for $2,993 and the acquisition of Fort for $1,682 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to payments related to the acquisition of an interest in SciSparc Nutraceuticals Inc. for $98 and the acquisition of Fort for $330 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Financing Activities
Our net cash used in financing activities was $6,255 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $86 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $6,341. The change was attributable to the proceeds from the January 2024 PIPE, net of issuance costs, offset by the repayment of loan in the aggregate amount of $86 during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Financial Arrangements
On January 29, 2024, we completed a private placement transaction, or the January 2024 PIPE, in which we issued Ordinary Shares; Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares; Series A Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares and Series B Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.275 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the January 2024 PIPE.
6
The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.00001 per Ordinary Share and do not expire until exercised in full. The Series A Warrants were immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $2.69 per whole Ordinary Share (subject to certain anti-dilution and share combination event protections) and have a term of sixty-six (66) months from the date of issuance. The Series B Warrants will be exercisable following the Reset Date (as defined below), have an exercise price of $0.00001 per Ordinary Share and have a term of sixty-six (66) months from the date of issuance. The exercise price and number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Series A Warrants are subject to adjustment and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Series B Warrant will be determined following the reset date, or the Reset Date, which is the earliest to occur of: (i) the date on which a resale registration statement covering the resale of all registrable securities has been declared effective for 30 consecutive trading days, (ii) the date on which the selling shareholders may sell the registrable securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, and (iii) 12 months and 30 days following the issuance date of the Series B Warrant, to be determined pursuant to the lowest daily average trading price of the Ordinary Shares during a period of 20 trading days, subject to a pricing floor of $0.68, or Pricing Floor. As our Ordinary Shares are currently trading at a price per share lower than the Pricing Floor, on the Reset Date: (i) the Series A Warrants will be exercisable into a total number of 13,373,177 Ordinary Shares, subject to certain anti-dilution and share combination event mechanisms, at an exercise price of $0.68, and (ii) the Series B Warrants will be exercisable into a total number of 7,904,181 Ordinary Shares. As of September 30, 2024, the date our consolidated financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2024 were issued, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 820,000 Ordinary Shares and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 5,257,127 had been exercised for an aggregate issuance of 6,077,127 Ordinary Shares.
Current Outlook
We have financed our operations to date primarily through proceeds from our initial public offering, the January 2024 PIPE and proceeds from sales on the different Amazon platforms (after FBA fees and advertising fees).
As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $2,815. We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, will be sufficient to fund our current operations for the next twelve months. In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of many factors that may currently be unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
● | the progress and costs of purchasing new brands and their development plans; |
● | the costs of manufacturing and shipment of our products; |
● | the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights; |
● | the potential costs of contracting with third parties to provide marketing and distribution services for us or for building such capacities internally; and |
● | the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of U.S. dollar to NIS exchange rates and U.S. dollar to GBP, which is discussed in detail in the following paragraph.
Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations
Our functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollar. We incur some of our income and expenses in other currencies. As a result, we are exposed to the risk that the rate of inflation in countries in which we are active other than the United States will exceed the rate of devaluation of such countries’ currencies in relation to the dollar or that the timing of any such devaluation will lag behind inflation in such countries.
Global inflation has risen in 2024. To date, we have not been subject to inflationary pressures. We cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future.
As of June 30, 2024, the annual rate of inflation in Israel was 2.90%. The NIS revaluated against the U.S. dollar by approximately 3.64% for the period ended June 30, 2024 and 5.14% for the period ended June 30, 2023.
