ZOOZ Power Reports Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
TelAviv, August 12, 2024 – ZOOZ POWER Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ZOOZ), the leading provider of Flywheel-based power boosting and power management solutions enabling ultra-fast multi ports EV charging, today announced financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and provided a corporate update.
“ZOOZ continues to penetrate as a prime solution for power boosting and management of multi-port ultra-fast EV charging where grid power is insufficient”, said Avi Cohen, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO.
Mr. Cohen continued, “our ZOOZTER™-100 is now installed at major Charge Point Operators (CPOs) in Europe and Israel, enabling a substantial increase in the number of cars charged daily, reducing charging times, and significantly boosting the total power sold by CPOs. In parallel we continue to invest in improving our operational efficiency targeting a reduced cost platform and full manufacturing outsourcing.”
OperationalHighlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
| ● | Successful completion of business combination |
|---|
On July 30, 2023, ZOOZ and its wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a Business Combination Agreement and related agreements with Keyarch Acquisition Corporation and the other parties thereto (the “Business Combination Agreement” and the “BusinessCombination”, respectively). The Business Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, closed on April 4, 2024. Following this completion, ZOOZ began trading on NASDAQ.
| ● | Enhancing Sales and Marketing efforts |
|---|
ZOOZ strategically focuses on enhancing its sales and marketing efforts and has recruited a dedicated sales team tailored to key geographic markets. This initiative aims to drive growth by targeting scalable customers needing to increase the number of EVs charged per day where grid power is insufficient. As a result, ZOOZ strengthens its market presence and its engagement with high-potential regions and customer bases.
| ● | Enhanced operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness |
|---|
Following the successful market introduction and performance of the ZOOZTER™-100, ZOOZ started implementing a new version of the product during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This new version employes the same technology as the current product but focuses on reducing production costs, including the bill of materials, assembly and integration time. The new version represents a strategic transition from product market fit to mass production, positioning the company for enhanced operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
| ● | Collaboration with Dor-Alon and Afcon Electric Transportation |
|---|
In May and June 2024, ZOOZ successfully deployed two of its Flywheel-based power boosting and management solution, delivering a significant upgrade to two ‘‘ON’ charging sites without requiring a grid upgrade. These sites are located at Dor-Alon stations on Route 6, the Cross-Israel Highway, one of the busiest transportation corridors in Israel. The ‘ON’ charging network is a strategic collaboration between Dor-Alon, a leading gas-station network operator, and Afcon Electric Transportation, a prominent CPO in Israel. The installation of the ZOOZ solution has significantly improved the number of EV charged in this station daily. These two systems were not yet recognized as revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
| ● | First Entry into the UK market |
|---|
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, ZOOZ achieved a key milestone by entering the UK market through a collaboration with Osprey Charging, one of the top three CPOs in the UK with over 150 high-powered charging hubs across the UK. ZOOZ successfully installed its ZOOZTER™-100 system at an Osprey-owned site, facilitating an upgrade to ultra-fast charging capabilities. Additionally, this site serves as a demonstration platform for showcasing ZOOZ’s technology to potential customers and partners across the UK. This system has not been yet recognized as revenues.
| ● | Memorandum of understanding with Arko Corp. |
|---|
In June 2024, Arko Corp., together with ZOOZ, decided to terminate the joint pilot of ZOOZ’s solution at the Arko site and as a result terminated the memorandum of understanding with ZOOZ in accordance with its terms.

Such forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of ZOOZ. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding ZOOZ, and any of ZOOZ’s strategy and future operations are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause ZOOZ’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and other risks and uncertainties are more fully discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of ZOOZ’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as well as other documents that may be subsequently filed by ZOOZ from time to time with the SEC. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the limited operating history and evolving business model that make it difficult for investors to evaluate ZOOZ’s business and future prospects, material weaknesses identified in ZOOZ’s internal control over financial reporting and the potential results of ZOOZ being unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, ZOOZ’s management’s determination that substantial doubt exists about the continued existence of ZOOZ as a “going concern”, changes to fuel economy standards or changes to governments’ regulations and policies in relation to environment or the success of alternative fuels which may negatively impact the EVs market and thus the demand for ZOOZ’s products, delays in deployment of public ultra-fast charging infrastructure which may limit the need and urgency for ZOOZ’s products, the potential outcome of ZOOZ’s collaborations with third parties for installation of its Flywheel-based power boosting solution, and the effects of the evolving nature of the war situation in Israel, and the related evolving regional conflicts, may adversely affect ZOOZ’s operations. These forward-looking statements are only estimations, and ZOOZ may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in any forward-looking statements, so you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements made in this Press Release.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
Note1 - general:
ZOOZ Power Ltd. (hereinafter - “the Company”), an Israeli Company, was incorporated and commenced operations in Israel on February 5, 2013. The offices of the Company are located at 4 Hamelacha St., Lod, Israel. The Company operates as one operating segment and is engaged in developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling Flywheel-based power boosting and power management solutions for ultra-fast multi-ports EV (Electrical Vehicles) charging. The system is based on kinetic storage using flywheels.
In March 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering of shares and marketable warrants on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and became a public Company and started trading on that day. In March 2022, the Company completed a public offering of shares and warrants.
On April 4, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and Keyarch Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted Company (“Keyarch”), consummated their previously announced business combination, dated as of July 30, 2023 (as amended on February 9, 2024, March 8, 2024 and March 15, 2024, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Keyarch, ZOOZ, ZOOZ Power Cayman, a Cayman Islands exempted Company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ZOOZ (“Merger Sub”), Keyarch Global Sponsor Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted Company. The merger of Keyarch with Merger Sub resulted in the exchange of shares of Keyarch ordinary shares held by Keyarch shareholders for newly issued ZOOZ ordinary shares on a one-to-one basis. The merger was not within the scope of ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”) because Keyarch did not meet the definition of a business in accordance with ASC 805. The merger was accounted for as a recapitalization; as such, any difference between the fair value of ZOOZ ordinary shares issued and the fair value of Keyarch’s identifiable net assets should be recorded as additional paid-in capital.
At the Closing Date and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, and in accordance with the Cayman Act, Keyarch and Merger Sub consummated the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Keyarch, with Keyarch being the surviving Company, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Keyarch continued as the surviving Company Pursuant to the Closing Date , Keyarch became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On February 9, 2024, Keyarch and the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (hereinafter - “subscription agreements”). Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, an aggregate of 1,300,000 Keyarch Class A ordinary shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $13,000,000.
On March 21, 2024, the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders approved a reverse share split of the Company’s ordinary Shares, effective as of March 25, 2024, at a conversion ratio of 11.43720665.
The Company accounted for the Reverse Stock Splits on a retroactive basis pursuant to ASC 260. As a result, all common stock, warrants, and options outstanding and exercisable for common stock, exercise prices and loss per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, for all periods presented in these financial statements and the applicable disclosures, to reflect such Reverse Stock Split.
On April 4, 2024, ZOOZ issued promissory notes in favor of Keyarch and EarlyBirdCapital (hereinafter EBC underwriters in Keyarch’s initial public offering), for the principal amount of $2,030,000 and $840,000 respectively. The Notes mature on April 4, 2026 and accrues interest at an annual rate of 8%, which interest increases to 15% if the Note is not paid when due. In addition, ZOOZ is required to make mandatory cash prepayments on the Note from time to time in amounts equal to 25% of the gross proceeds less sales commissions received by ZOOZ from equity or equity-linked financings.
Further, at any time, EBC may elect to have any amount of outstanding principal and/or accrued interest of the EBC Note by the transfer of Sponsor Earnout Shares then remaining in the Escrow Account (as defined below) to EBC, with the price per Sponsor Earnout Share for purposes of determining the amount of the obligations satisfied under the EBC Note for such prepayment being equal to ninety percent (90%) of the volume weighted average price of an ordinary share of ZOOZ on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which ZOOZ’s ordinary shares then trade for the five trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the Sponsor’s and ZOOZ’s receipt of the applicable prepayment notice from EBC .

The Sponsor Earnout Shares were deposited in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) at the Closing pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated April 4, 2024 (the “Escrow Agreement”), which Escrow Agreement governs the release of such Sponsor Earnout Shares in accordance with the Sponsor Letter Agreement, Sponsor Note and EBC Note.
The Company’s shareholders are entitled to additional contingent consideration of up to 4 million ordinary shares upon the Company’s achievement of the applicable earnout milestones (hereinafter - “the Earnout Rights”), During five years commencing at the end of the full fiscal quarter following the Closing date. In the event the volume-weighted average price of ZOOZ ordinary shares (“VWAP”) exceeds $12, for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period during such period, then 1 million Earnout Shares will be issuable (constituting 25% of the Earnout Shares). In addition, in the event the VWAP exceeds $16 for the Trading Period, then 1,400,000 Earnout Shares are issuable (constituting 35% of the Earnout Shares), and additionally, in the event VWAP exceeds $23 for the Trading Period, then 1,600,000 Earnout Shares are issuable (constituting 40% of the Earnout Shares) as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in the form of non-tradable, non-assignable rights, that were issued by the Company pro rata to the Pre-Closing Company Shareholders on April 4, 2024. The earnout are indexed to the Company’s own stock and, accordingly, the earnout is now classified within equity.
In connection to the Closing date of the Business Combination, the Company’s ordinary shares and public warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbols “ZOOZ” and “ZOOZW”, respectively, on April 5, 2024, and became a dual Company.
Following the Issuance of Earnout rights in April 2024, the Company’s options and warrants conversion ratio has been adjusted, so each option or warrant will be exercisable to 1.18961 common shares.
As part of the transaction Keyarch’s warrants at an amount of 6,022,050 with a total fair value of $0.3 million were converted to the Company’s warrants and were recorded in the consolidated financial statements, measured in accordance with the fair market value, as determined in accordance with the closing market price at the closing date. Changes in fair value are recognized through finance income or expense in the statement of operations. For more information see Note 7.
The net proceeds received by the Company as part of the Merger Agreement Closing and the PIPE Financing totaled to $10.875 million; issuance costs of $ 148 thousand were recorded as a reduction to Shareholders’ Equity.
Current impact of Swords of Iron War
On October 7, 2023, following a surprise attack by the terrorist organization, Hamas, from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli government declared the “Swords of Iron” War. Following the attack from the Gaza Strip, an attack was also launched towards northern Israel by the terrorist organization, Hezbollah, from Lebanon and tensions in other sectors increased. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the security situation in both the southern sector and the northern sector remained tense, and the uncertainty regarding the return to normalcy remains.
The Company’s factory is located in the city of Lod. The Company’s facilities were not damaged during the war. In accordance with the guidelines of the National Emergency Authority, there is no denial of access or any restriction in the activity of the Company’s facilities. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Company operates normally. As of the date of publication of the financial statements, there is no material impact on the Company’s supply chain. However, if the security situation continues for an extended period of time, the Company’s production capacity and even marketing and advertising activities outside of Israel may be affected. At this stage, the Company cannot reasonably assess the consequences of the continuation of the Swords of Iron War on the level of its activity and the results of this activity. These consequences depend, among other things, on the duration and scope of the war, on its economic effects on the entire economy in Israel and on the ability to raise capital from foreign and local investors and the industry in which the Company operates.

ZOOZPOWER LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
The Company continues regularly to monitor the development of events and considers the implications for its business activity and the measures it will take accordingly.
Liquidity
The Company has net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 in the amounts of $5,237 thousand $5,402 thousands and negative cash flows from operating activities in the amounts of $6,040 thousand and $5,808 thousand, respectively.
The Company has historically financed its operations over the years by raising funds from investors. On April 4, 2024, the Company finalized a merger deal with a SPAC. As part of the merger 10.875 million USD, was invested in the company. Since the Company has just started commercial sales of its products and considering the Company’s expected cash usage, the Company’s cash balance as of June 30, 2024, and as of the date of approval of the financial statements is not sufficient to continue the Company’s operations for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue the Company’s operations, including research and development and sales and marketing, the Company is looking to secure financing from various sources, including additional investment funding. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the level of financing necessary to finance its operation.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note2 - significant accounting policies:
Useof estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. ZOOZ’s management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates relate to inventory net realizable value and share-based compensation.
Basisof presentation of financial statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.
Certain prior-period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 shown in these financial statements are not necessary indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The carrying value of cash, other current assets and accounts payables, other payables and accrued expenses (included in the condensed balance sheets) approximates their fair value because of their generally short maturities. The promissory notes bear annual interest at rates close to the prevailing market rates.
The fair value of restricted bank deposits approximates the carrying value since they bear interest at rates close to the prevailing market rates.
The Company’s financial instruments which are considered as a Level 3 measurement are the warrants liability and the share-based payment liability. For more information see Note 7 and Note 8, respectively.
Concentrationof credit risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and restricted bank deposits.
The Company’s cash and restricted bank deposits are invested in banks domiciled in Israel. Accordingly, management believes that these restricted bank deposits have minimal credit risk.

NOTE7 - WARRANTS LIABILTY:
As part of the transaction mentioned in note 1, Keyarch’s warrants were converted to the Company’s warrants and recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The exercise price of the warrants is $11.5 and they will expire within five years following the Closing Date, July 2019. Since the warrants’ exercise price is denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and thus meet the definition of a financial liability. Accordingly, until their exercise, the warrants are measured at fair value each reporting period, and changes in their fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as part of financial income, net.
The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The table below sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the warrants liability classified as Level 1:

As of June 30, 2024, there is an unrecognized share-based compensation expense of $223 thousand to be recognized over the average remaining vesting period of 2.26 years.
Liabilityclassified awards
The options were classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC 718, as the exercise price is denominated in USD, that is not the Company’s functional currency and not the employees’ salary currency or the currency in which the employees are paid. Accordingly, the options were measured at fair value each reporting period, and changes in their fair value were recognized in the statements of operations. The fair value of the options as of the closing date, April 4, 2024, was evaluated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Following the merger in April 2024, as detailed in note 1, given that the currency of the market in which the Company’s equity securities are traded, these awards were reclassified to equity. For the various scenarios modeled, volatility is based on companies in the industry by statistical analysis of a daily share pricing model. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the period until the options expiration date.

MANAGEMENT’SDISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
ANDRESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Thefollowing discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations provides information that we believe to be relevantto an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods described. This discussion shouldbe read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto which are included in thisReport of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. In addition, this information should also be read in conjunction with the information containedin the Company’s Annual Report on Form-20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on April 30, 2024, or the 2023 AnnualReport, including the audited consolidated annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the accompanyingnotes included therein.
Asa result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements,” ZOOZ’sactual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the followingdiscussion and analysis. Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us,”“our,” “ZOOZ” and the “Company” refer to ZOOZ Power Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiary, and inreferences to monetary amounts, “dollars” and “$” refer to U.S. Dollars, and “NIS” refers to NewIsraeli Shekels.
Certainfigures, including interest rates and other percentages included in this section, have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentagefigures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of suchamounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing thesame calculations using the figures in ZOOZ’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements or in the associated text. Certainother amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.
Overview
ZOOZ develops, produces, markets and sells Flywheel-based power boosting and power management solutions for ultra-fast multi-ports EV (Electrical Vehicles) charging. The system is based on kinetic storage using flywheels. ZOOZ has developed proprietary flywheel technology for storing kinetic energy and as of the date of this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, has introduced two generations of Kinetic Storage Systems – the KPB50, which was ZOOZ’s first-generation product and was introduced in 2018 as proof-of-concept and for market introduction, and the ZOOZTER™-100, ZOOZ’s second-generation product, which was introduced in 2022.
As of the date of this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, ZOOZ operates in the market of charging infrastructure for EVs and primarily in the field of ultra-fast charging for EVs. Based on its technology, ZOOZ develops systems comprised of an array of flywheels and supporting sub-systems, which get charged from the electricity grid. This energy, when discharged, is added to the power from the grid, which together constitute power levels that are twice to three times the power that is supplied from the grid, thus enabling high-power charging of the EV even in areas where the electricity grid has limited power. ZOOZ refers to these systems as power boosters.
RecentDevelopments
| ● | Successful completion of business combination |
|---|
On July 30, 2023, ZOOZ and its wholly owned subsidiary entered into a Business Combination Agreement and related agreements with Keyarch Acquisition Corporation and the other parties thereto (the “Business Combination Agreement” and the “BusinessCombination”, respectively). The Business Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, closed on April 4, 2024, following this, ZOOZ began trading on NASDAQ.
| ● | Collaboration with Dor-Alon and Afcon Electric Transportation |
|---|
In May and June 2024, ZOOZ successfully deployed its Flywheel-based power boosting and management solution, delivering a significant upgrade to two ‘ON’ charging sites without requiring a grid upgrade. These sites are located at Dor-Alon stations on Route 6, the Cross-Israel Highway, one of the busiest transportation corridors in Israel. The ‘ON’ charging network is a strategic collaboration between Dor-Alon, a leading gas-station network operator, and Afcon Electric Transportation, a prominent Charge Point Operator (CPO) in Israel. Although these two systems were not yet recognized as revenues in H2, their installation has significantly improved business results.
| ● | First Entry into the UK market |
|---|
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, ZOOZ achieved a key milestone by entering the UK market through Osprey Charging, one of the top three Charge Point Operators (CPOs) in the UK with over 150 high-powered charging hubs across the UK. ZOOZ successfully installed its ZOOZTER™-100 system at an Osprey-owned site, facilitating an upgrade to ultra-fast charging capabilities. Additionally, this site serves as a demonstration platform for showcasing ZOOZ’s technology to potential customers and partners across the UK. This system has not been yet recognized as revenues.
| ● | Memorandum of understanding with Arko Corp. |
|---|
In June 2024, Arko Corp. together with ZOOZ decided to terminate the trial of the ZOOZ solution at the Arko site and as a result terminated the memorandum of understanding with ZOOZ in accordance with its terms.
| ● | Enhancing Sales and Marketing efforts |
|---|
The company strategically focuses on enhancing its sales and marketing efforts and has recruited a dedicated sales team tailored to key geographic markets. This initiative aims to drive growth by targeting scalable customers needing to increase the number of cars charged per day where grid power is insufficient. As a result, ZOOZ strengthens its market presence and optimizes engagement with high-potential regions and customer bases.
| ● | Enhanced operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness |
|---|
Following the successful market introduction and performance of the ZOOZTER™-100, ZOOZ started implementing a new design during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This redesign employes the same technology as the current design but focuses on reducing production costs, including the bill of materials, assembly and integration time. The updated version represents a strategic transition from product market fit to mass production, positioning the company for enhanced operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Researchand Development Expenses, Net
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses, net, decreased by $223 thousands, from $2,652 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $2,429 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, grants from government and others, in the amounts of $18 thousand and $70 thousand, respectively, were deducted from research and development expenses.
The research and development activities during the six months ended June 30,2024, is primarily related to new design of ZOOZTER™-100 supporting production cost reduction (Bill of material, assembly & integration time). The design reflects the transition from product market fit units to mass production design. The design is based on current flywheel technology but includes flywheel assembly process improvement, enhanced drivers and inverters.
The decrease in research and development expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was mainly due to the completion of new motor development and adjustments in headcount aligned with the company’s focus on cost reduction and reliability enhancement. The company anticipates an increase in research and development activities in the second half of 2024.
Salesand Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $501 thousands, from $1,331 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $830 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to a reduction in headcount and the termination of certain service providers as part of cost-saving measures. The strategy also involves reallocating resources to establish a focused sales team for key geographic markets, set to commence in the second half of 2024. ZOOZ anticipates an increase in sales and marketing expenses in the second half of 2024 due to such reallocation of resources.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, grants from NYPA in the amounts of $180 thousand, were deducted from Sales and Marketing Expenses. No grants were deducted from Sale and Marketing expenses in the six months ended in June 30,2023.
Generaland Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $264 thousands, from $1,528 thousands on for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $1,792 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, is mainly attributed to the higher premium of the D&O insurance that we, as a company listed for trading on the NASDAQ are required to maintain following the closing of the Business combination.
FinancialIncome (expenses), Net
Financial income, net, decreased by $284 thousands from $306 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $22 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in financial income, net, in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily attributed to foreign exchange rate and interest on bank deposits. This decrease is primarily due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and a reduction in income from interest on bank deposits, resulting from shorter deposit durations.
Liquidityand Capital Resources
Overview
ZOOZ has historically funded its operations primarily from private placements of its equity securities and public offerings of its securities following its initial public offering on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, as well as the Business Combination and Merger between ZOOZ, Keyarch Acquisition Corporation and the other parties thereto, which consummated on April 4, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, ZOOZ had $7,721 thousand in cash and cash equivalents and $3,507 thousand in short term deposits.

SignificantAccounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, obligations, income and expenses during the reporting periods. A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included under Note 2 to the financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.
ForwardLooking Statements
This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ExchangeAct”), the Israeli Securities Law, 1968 and the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “will,” “may,” “assume,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “could,” “project,” “estimate,” “possible,” “potential,” “believe,” “suggest,” and “intend,” and similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of the date hereof and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements unless required by law.
Important factors that could cause actual results, developments, and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include, among other things:
| ● | Our<br> limited operating history and evolving business model may make it difficult for you to evaluate<br> our business and future prospects. | |
|---|---|---|
| ● | We<br> have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and<br> if we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses or identify additional material weaknesses<br> in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over<br> financial reporting, this may impair our ability to produce timely and accurate financial<br> statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations. | |
| ● | Our<br> management has determined that substantial doubt exists about the continued existence of<br> ZOOZ as a “going concern”. The report of ZOOZ’s independent registered<br> public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2023, includes a going concern qualification. | |
| ● | Changes<br> to fuel economy standards or changes to governments’ regulations and policies in relation<br> to environment or the success of alternative fuels may negatively impact the electric cars<br> (“EVs” or “electric vehicles”) market and thus the<br> demand for our products. | |
| ● | Delays<br> in deployment of public ultra-fast charging infrastructure may limit the need and urgency<br> for our products. | |
| ● | Market<br> education regarding the concept and value of power boosters is still in process and may not<br> materialize as anticipated by us, or at all. | |
| ● | Our<br> market penetration is partially related to government and other public incentive plans supporting<br> charging infrastructure, changes or reductions on those, which are in turn subject to political,<br> economic, and environmental factors which are beyond our control. | |
| ● | We<br> have gained limited experience in a small number of territories, which include Israel, Germany,<br> the U.K. and the U.S. If we fail to expand our geographic footprint and to build scalable<br> and robust processes, our prospects for growth and profitability could be harmed, and we<br> may never successfully do so or achieve or sustain profitability. | |
| ● | We<br> face risks related to the growth rate and the global expansion of our business, including<br> worldwide or regional economic conditions, exchange rate fluctuations, adverse changes in<br> EV and/or power booster market conditions and the competitiveness of the market. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ● | We<br> may experience difficulties in managing our growth and expanding our operations, as we need<br> to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, compliance programs<br> and reporting systems, including our compliance programs, privacy, cybersecurity and anti-corruption<br> and financial controls, and we may not be successful in doing so. | |
| ● | We<br> currently face competition from a number of companies, mainly specialized platform providers<br> for residential or commercial and industrial applications and expect to face significant<br> competition in the future as the market for the EV high power charging infrastructure further<br> develops. | |
| ● | We<br> rely on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for our products, some of which provide<br> us with custom-designed components and sub-systems. A loss of any of these key suppliers<br> and manufacturers could negatively affect our business. | |
| ● | Increases<br> in costs, disruption of supply, or shortage of materials, have harmed and could harm our<br> business again in the future. | |
| ● | Our<br> business is subject to risks associated with permitting, construction, cost overruns and<br> delays, and other contingencies that may arise in the course of completing installations,<br> and such risks may increase in the future. | |
| ● | Expanding<br> our operations internationally is likely to expose us to additional tax, compliance, market<br> and other risks. | |
| ● | The<br> EV and energy storage market currently benefits from the availability of rebates, tax credits<br> and other financial incentives from governments, utilities and others to offset the purchase<br> or operating cost of EVs, EV charging stations and flywheel-based storage systems. The reduction,<br> modification, or elimination of such benefits, or any delay in payment could cause reduced<br> demand for our products or delay their purchase or production, which would adversely affect<br> our financial results. | |
| ● | We<br> are dependent on several key employees; the loss of their services and our failure to hire<br> additional qualified key personnel could harm our business. | |
| ● | Failures,<br> or perceived failures, to comply with privacy, data protection, and information security<br> requirements in the variety of jurisdictions in which we operate may adversely impact our<br> business, and such legal requirements are evolving, uncertain and may require improvements<br> in, or changes to, our policies and operations. | |
| ● | We<br> may not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights or prevent<br> unauthorized parties from copying or reverse engineering our technology or products. Our<br> efforts to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and prevent third parties<br> from violating our rights may be costly. | |
| ● | In<br> addition to patented technology, we rely on our unpatented proprietary technology, trade<br> secrets, processes and know-how, which we may not be able to protect. | |
| ● | Technology<br> failures or cyberattacks on our technology systems or our ineffective response to technology<br> failures or cyberattacks could disrupt our operations and negatively impact our reputation,<br> business, financial condition, or results of operations. | |
| ● | Interruption,<br> interference with or failure of our information technology and communications systems could<br> hurt our ability to effectively offer our products, which could damage our reputation and<br> harm our operating results. | |
| ● | We<br> may be exposed to liability if we fail to comply with the provisions of the U.S. Foreign<br> Corrupt Practices Act and other U.S. and foreign anti-corruption, anti-money laundering,<br> privacy, export control, sanctions, and other trade laws and regulations. | |
| ● | Geo-political<br> conditions in the Middle East and in Israel, including the current conflicts in Gaza and<br> in the Northern part of Israel that started in the fourth quarter of 2023, may adversely<br> affect our operations. | |
| ● | If<br> U.S. securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports<br> about ZOOZ, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding<br> the ZOOZ ordinary shares adversely, then the price and trading volume of the ZOOZ ordinary<br> shares on the Nasdaq could decline. | |
| ● | The<br> U.S. market price for the ZOOZ ordinary shares may be depressed by the terms of any financing<br> which is likely to result in significant dilution or by our failure to obtain necessary financing. | |
| ● | The<br> future exercise of registration rights and sale by our shareholders of their ZOOZ ordinary<br> shares, including shares by shareholders subject to lock-ups upon expiration of their lock-ups,<br> may adversely affect the market price of ZOOZ ordinary shares on the Nasdaq. | |
| ● | In<br> case ZOOZ will not be successful to reach its cost reduction targets during the next couple<br> of years, this may prejudice ZOOZ’s profitability and market penetration. |
