NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies described below have been applied consistently in relation to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
| a. | Basis of preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements: |
The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2022, and for the six-month period ended on that date (hereinafter - “Interim Financial Information”) has been prepared in accordance with the guidance of IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
The Interim Financial Information has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies adopted with respect to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“Annual Financial Statements”), which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards which are standards and interpretations thereto issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (hereinafter “IFRS”).
The Interim Financial Information is unaudited, does not constitute statutory accounts and does not contain all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted under IFRS for annual financial statements.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements with the exception of the following policy. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and following the substantial modification of shareholder and related party loans as detailed in Note 3(5), the Company has made a policy election to account for the difference between the carrying amount of loans prior to modification and the modified loans recognized at fair value directly in equity within the capital reserve for transactions with related parties.
| b. | Estimates: |
The preparation of the Interim Financial Information requires the Company’s management to exercise judgment and also requires use of accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the preparation of these Interim Financial Information, the significant judgments exercised by management in the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the uncertainty involved in the key sources of those estimates were identical to the ones used in the Annual Financial Statements.
| c. | Adoption of new and revised Standards |
New and revised IFRS Standards issued but not yet effective
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Standard that has been issued but is not yet effective:
Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates
In February 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued amendments to International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 8, in which it introduces a new definition of accounting estimates. The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. Effective for annual periods. beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of the adoption on the financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Amendments to IAS 1 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies
On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued ‘Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2)’ with amendments that are intended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The adoption will not have any impact on the financial position or results of operations.
Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, or the information disclosed about those items. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period, specify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability, explain that rights are in existence if covenants are complied with at the end of the reporting period, and introduce a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.
The amendments are applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with early application permitted.

The Company evaluated the terms of the new financial instrument and determined it is a compound financial instrument, containing both a liability and an equity component. The initial measurement of the liability component was at fair value while the equity component was assigned the residual amount between the initial carrying amount of the new financial instrument and the fair value of the liability component. As the fair value of the loans at the date of extinguishment was less than their carrying amount, the entire instrument was recorded as a liability.

| ● | our belief that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 together with the net proceeds from our initial public offering, or the IPO, which was completed on February 4, 2022, will be sufficient to fund our operations through September 2023; |

Introduction
Unless indicated otherwise by the context, all references in this report to “Jeffs’ Brands”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” are to Jeffs’ Brands Ltd. When the following terms and abbreviations appear in the text of this report, they have the meanings indicated below:
| ● | ”dollars” or “$” means United States dollars; and | |
| ● | “NIS” means New Israeli Shekels. |
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and notes thereto, and together with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto filed with the SEC as part of the Registration Statement.
Overview
We are a fast-growing e-commerce CPG company, operating primarily on the Amazon.com platform. We were incorporated in Israel in March 2021, under the name Jeffs’ Brands Ltd, to serve as the holding company of three other e-commerce companies that operate online stores for the sale of various consumer products on the Amazon.com online marketplace, utilizing the Fulfillment by Amazon, or FBA, model — Smart Repair Pro, purex Corp., or Purex, and Top Rank Ltd, or Top Rank.
On May 10, 2021, pursuant to the Stock Exchange and Plan of Restructuring Agreement, or the SEA, with Medigus Ltd., or Medigus, Purex and Smart Repair Pro became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Jeffs’ Brands. Pursuant to the SEA, Medigus and Mr. Viki Hakmon, as a shareholder of Smart Repair Pro and Purex, contributed all of the equity interests they owned in Smart Repair Pro and Purex to Jeffs’ Brands in exchange for ordinary shares, or the Contribution Transactions. As a result of the Contribution Transactions, Smart Repair Pro and Purex became wholly owned subsidiaries of Jeffs’ Brands. As the Contribution Transactions were consummated among entities under common control, i.e., there was no change in the ownership percentages of Medigus and Mr. Hakmon before and after the Contribution Transactions, Jeffs’ Brands accounted for the Contribution Transactions as a pooling of interests, resulting in the comparative financial information of the Company being replaced with the combined financial information of Smart Repair Pro and Purex, the carrying values of asset and liabilities being retained, and no purchase accounting applied.
In addition to executing the FBA business model, we utilize A.I. and machine learning technologies to analyze sales data and patterns on the Amazon.com marketplace in order to identify existing stores, niches and products that have the potential for development and growth, as well as maximize sales of its existing proprietary products. We also use our own skills, know-how and profound familiarity with the Amazon.com algorithm and all the tools that the FBA platform FBA has to offer. In some circumstances we scale the products and improve them.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We describe our significant accounting policies more fully in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since we filed our Registration Statement other than as described in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. We believe that the accounting policies below is critical in order to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS. At the time of the preparation of the financial statements, our management is required to use estimates, evaluations and assumptions which affect the application of the accounting policy and the amounts reported for assets, obligations, income and expenses. Any estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. The changes to the accounting estimates are credited during the period in which the change to the estimate is made.
Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
We make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Estimates and assumptions
Determining the fair value of related party loans:
During the years 2020 and 2021, the Company received loans from related parties.
On the borrowing date, the Company estimates the value of the benefit granted to it as the difference between the interest rate that the Company is required to pay to investors for the loans provided by them and secured by such lien and the interest rate required to pay for similar unsecured loans to non-related parties. The value of the benefit is recorded within equity on the borrowing date.
5
Impairment of intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. The Company monitors conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization. The Company tests these assets for potential impairment whenever its management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The original estimate of an asset’s useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset’s useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment regarding estimates of the future cash flows associated with each asset.
Provision for products return
The Company uses its past experience to analyze the number of returns using the expectation method. According to the previous refunds amounts, the Company expects at a high degree that there will not be a material returns of sold products that have been recognized in revenue.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported according to the same basis that is used for internal reporting purposes which is submitted to the CEO who is responsible for the allocation of resources to the Company’s operating segments and the evaluation of their performances.
As from the date of its establishment, the Company operates in one operating segment which is operating stores on e- commerce on Amazon platform. In light thereof, segment reporting is not included in the financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have funded our operations primarily through funds we received from loans and proceeds from sales on Amazon.com (after deducting FBA fees and advertising fees). As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had approximately $67 and $150, 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 | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (1,054 | ) | $ | (174 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (3 | ) | (4,728 | ) | ||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 731 | 4,761 | ||||||
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | (326 | ) | (141 | ) | ||||
We expect that for the foreseeable future we will finance our activities using the proceeds we received from the initial public offering (“IPO”) and proceeds from sales in Amazon.com of our existing and future new brands.
Operating Activities
Our net cash used in operating activities was $1,054 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to net cash from operating activities of $174 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss and increase in the proceeds used in operating activities is mainly attributable to the increase in proceeds from the operation of six brands less the related operating expenses, amortization expenses of three new brands and financing interest mainly on new related parties and shareholders loans, and new third party loans in 2021 as compared to proceeds from sales from Smart Repair Pro’s two Amazon.com brands (after FBA fees and advertising fees) less related operation expenses and interest on related parties loans.

Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities was $3 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4,728 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change is mainly attributable to the investment in three new intangible assets in 2021 as compared to the investment in one intangible asset in 2020.
Financing Activities
Our net cash provided by financing activities was $731 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $4,761 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is mainly attributable to loans received from shareholders in the amount of $4,800 in 2021.
Financial Arrangements
Since Jeffs’ Brands inception in March 2021 and since the earlier inception of our subsidiaries Smart Repair Pro and Purex in 2019 and 2020, respectively, to date, we have financed our operations primarily through funds we received from loans and proceeds from sales on Amazon.com (after deducting FBA fees and advertising fees).
On May 23, 2019, Smart Repair Pro entered into loan agreements, or the May 2019 Loans, with a relative of its then operating manager and controlling shareholder, Viki Hakmon, and L.I.A.

The May 2019 Loans bear an annual interest rate of 4% (which is paid quarterly commencing on December 2020) and is due on August 13, 2022.

In order to secure the loan until its full repayment, Purex pledged its full rights in the seller account on Amazon.com, in Smart Repair Pro’s favor.
On October 8, 2020, Smart Repair Pro and Purex and their then shareholders, entered into a share purchase agreement, or the Medigus SPA, with Medigus. Pursuant to the Medigus SPA, Medigus and Smart Repair Pro’s shareholders committed to transfer funds, as loans to Smart Repair Pro, in order to finance its day-to-day operations in exchange for its shares. During October and November 2020, an amount of $250 was transferred to Smart Repair Pro, on account of the loans. The loans bear an annual interest rate of 4%. On January 4, 2021, the terms and conditions to the Medigus SPA were satisfied and Medigus advanced approximately $1,100 on behalf of a loan from investors, which the first principal was borrowed on October 2020 and in exchange for the repayment of the loan, Smart Repair Pro issued to Medigus 5,572 of its shares of common stock. Also on January 4, 2021, Purex issued 557 shares of its common stock to Medigus in exchange for its payment of $150.
In February 2021, Smart Repair Pro, received additional loans under the Medigus SPA, on the same terms (annual interest rate of 4% and repayment after five years). Subsequently, on February 3, 2021, Medigus transferred to Smart Repair Pro an amount of $560 as a controlling shareholder loan, in order to finance the purchase of two additional Amazon.com stores, PetEvo and Wellted.
In addition, according to the terms of the Medigus SPA, the minority shareholders (Mr. Hakmon’s affiliates, as detailed below) are obligated to keep a 20:80 ratio with Medigus for amounts transferred to Smart Repair Pro by Medigus for the purpose of purchasing two stores. To illustrate, when a new store is being purchased, Medigus is obligated to invest 80% of the purchase price, and Mr. Hakmon’s affiliates are obligated to invest 20% of the purchase price. Therefore, on March 5, 2021 and on April 29, 2021, a total sum of $140,000 was transferred from the minority shareholders to the broker in the store purchase transaction, on account of the loan to Smart Repair Pro.

In addition, in accordance with the agreement, Smart Repair Pro purchased from the Seller the remaining inventory for a total amount of approximately $350, which is the cost of the inventory purchased by the Seller.

On May 3, 2022, we entered into Assignments to Loan Agreements with Smart Repair Pro, Medigus, Mr. Hakmon and L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd., pursuant to which we assumed Smart Repair Pro’s obligations under the outstanding loans and we agreed that unless earlier repaid pursuant to the terms of the respective loan agreements with such parties, effective immediately upon the consummation of the IPO, all outstanding principal due to each such party automatically converted into a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount due to such party, by the per Ordinary Share price of $3.46 per share, obtained by dividing $10,000,000 by the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the completion of the IPO. As of August 30, 2022, Smart Repair Pro had outstanding loans to Medigus, Mr. Hakmon and L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd. of $4,010,000, $940,000 and $109,000, respectively.

The Ordinary Shares and Warrants were approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading under the symbol “JFBR” and “JFBRW”, respectively, on August 26, 2022.
Current Outlook
We have financed our operations to date primarily through proceeds from the IPO and proceeds from sales on Amazon.com (after FBA fees and advertising fees)
As of June 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were $67. As of today, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $10 million, including the net proceeds from the IPO, and following the repayment of loans and other obligations. We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements through September 2023.
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; |
9
| ● | 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. |
Until we can generate significant recurring revenues and profit, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financings. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our products.
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/NIS exchange rates, which is discussed in detail in the following paragraph.
Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations
Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We incur some of our 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 2022. To date, we have not been subject to inflationary pressures. However, to mitigate any identified potential inflationary pressures, the Company purchased more inventory at the beginning of the year in order to avoid price increases that may be caused by the increase in inflation or shipping costs. We cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future.
The annual rate of inflation in Israel was 2.8% in 2021 and (0.7%) in 2020. The NIS revaluated against the U.S. dollar by approximately 3.26% in 2021 and 6.9% in 2020.
Impact of Supply Chain Disruptions
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced occasional supply constraints, primarily in the form of increases in freight costs from approximately $2,000 per container pre-COVID-19 to approximately $20,000 per container in the midst of the pandemic, and delays in shipment of inventory. Shipping costs per container have decreased significantly during the six months ended June 30, 2022 in comparison to such costs during the year ended December 31, 2021; therefore, we do not believe that the supply chain challenges will continue to impact our business and profitability. Currently, the shipping costs are approximately $3,000 per container and we expect such costs to further decrease. We have also experienced increases in the cost of certain products, as well as a decrease in promotions by some manufacturers. The COVID-19 pandemic also impacted the supply chain of our brand partners, and our ability to timely fulfill orders and deliver such orders to our customers, particularly as a result of mandatory shutdowns in different countries and cities to mitigate the spread of the virus.
As of the date hereof, we consider such events to be relatively minor and temporary, and our outlook and business goals, as well as results of operations, capital resources and quantity, sales, profits, and/or liquidity are not materially adversely affected by supply chain disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, continued supply chain disruptions could lead to delayed receipt of, or shortages in, inventory and higher costs, and negatively impact our sales. Therefore, we maintain a comprehensive network of manufacturers. In order to mitigate such risks, in cases where certain components are purchased from single source manufacturers, we have adjusted and modified designs based on different components from different suppliers, to allow for more versatility and flexibility. We do not believe that such mitigation efforts have introduced any other new material risks, including but not limited to, those related to product quality or reliability or regulatory approval of products.
In addition, as of the date of this hereof, our business segments, products, lines of service, projects and operations are not materially adversely affected by supply chain disruptions in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and/or related geopolitical tension, and we do not expect to be materially impacted by any supply chain disruptions in the future.
