Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As previously disclosed, on April 10, 2024, SciSparc Ltd., or the Parent
Company or SciSparc entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with AutoMax Motors Ltd., an Israeli company traded on the TASE and the
leading parallel importer and distributor of vehicles in Israel, or AutoMax, and SciSparc Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli limited company
and wholly owned subsidiary of SciSparc, or the Merger Agreement. On August 14, 2024 and on November 26, 2024, the parties entered into
addendums to the Merger Agreement, or the Merger Agreement Addendums. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
described in the Merger Agreement and the Merger Agreement Addendums, SciSparc Merger Sub Ltd. will be merged with and into AutoMax, with
AutoMax surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, or the Merger.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position is based on the individual historical balance sheet of the
Parent Company and AutoMax, prepared in accordance with IFRS as of June 30, 2024, and has been prepared to reflect the effect
of the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive
loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024, the
beginning of the Parent Company’s fiscal year. The historical condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to
give effect to pro forma events that are: 1) directly attributable to the acquisition; 2) factually supportable; and 3) with respect
to the statement of comprehensive loss, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma
financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
have been made, as further described in the accompanying notes.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the Parent Company’s
historical unaudited financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Report of Foreign
Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished by SciSparc on November 4, 2024, and the historical audited financial statements of AutoMax
included as Exhibit 99.2 in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.
Estimated consideration of approximately $2.33 million is based on
the Parent Company’s 30 days average closing share price of $0.237 between October 14, 2024, and November 22, 2024. The value of
purchase price consideration will change based on fluctuations in the share price of the Parent Company’s ordinary shares and the
number of ordinary shares of the Parent Company’s outstanding share capital on the closing date.
The
allocation of the purchase price as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on a preliminary
valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the accounting is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed
and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available.
The unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that would have resulted had the transaction described above been consummated at the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative
of the results of operations which may be realized in the future. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
do not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, regulatory matters, operating efficiencies or other savings
or expenses that may be associated with the integration of the two companies.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial
Statements
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, was derived from
the unaudited consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 in the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K
furnished by SciSparc on November 4, 2024 and from the unaudited historical financial information of AutoMax for the same period, and
has been prepared as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information herein
has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Merger in accordance with IFRS.
The
Parent Company has accounted for the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the authoritative guidance on
business combinations under the provisions of IFRS 3 (“Business Combinations”). The purchase price allocation is considered
preliminary, and additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period in accordance with IFRS 3. The purchase price allocation
will be finalized as the Parent Company receives additional information relevant to the acquisition, including the final valuation and
reconciliation of the assets purchased, including tangible and intangible assets, liabilities assumed. Differences between these preliminary
estimates and the final purchase accounting may occur, and these differences could be material.
SciSparc has been determined
to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
| ● | SciSparc’s
existing shareholders will have the greater voting interest in the combined entity; |
| ● | SciSparc’s
directors will represent the majority of the board of directors of the combined company following the consummation of the Merger; and |
| ● | SciSparc’s
senior management will be the senior management of the combined company following the consummation of the Merger. |
The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, assumes that the Merger occurred on June 30, 2024. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, presents pro forma
effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with,
the following:
| ● | SciSparc’s
unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the related notes, included as Exhibit 99.1 in the Report
of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished by SciSparc on November 4, 2024; and |
| ● | AutoMax’s
unaudited interim consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2024, and the related notes, included as Exhibit 99.2 in this Report
of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. |
The audited pro forma
condensed combined statement of comprehensive loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, have been prepared using, and should
be read in conjunction with, the following:
| ● | SciSparc’s
unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes attached
as Exhibit 99.1 in the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished by SciSparc on November 4, 2024; and |
| ● | AutoMax’s
unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes attached
as Exhibit 99.2 in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K . |
Information has been prepared
based on these preliminary estimates, and the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax
savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Merger.
Management has made significant
estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation
of the Merger are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that SciSparc believes are
reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes,
may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will
differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. SciSparc believes that these assumptions
and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Merger based on information available
to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied
in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative
of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods presented, nor is it necessarily
indicative of the future results of the combined company.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial
condition or results of operations would have been had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations
of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts
reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
Note 2 - Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by Release
No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the
existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction, or Transaction
Accounting Adjustments, and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably
expected to occur, or Management’s Adjustments. SciSparc has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only
be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma combined
provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the combined company following consummation
of the Merger filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.
Note 3 - Estimated purchase price consideration
On
April 10, 2024, SciSparc entered into the Merger Agreement, as amended, by and among SciSparc, SciSparc Merger Sub Ltd. and AutoMax, pursuant
to which AutoMax agreed to convert its share capital in exchange for the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
Parent Company ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants, equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement), per each such
AutoMax ordinary share and up to 47.49% of SciSparc ordinary shares immediately after to the effective time (as defined in the Merger
Agreement).
Estimated consideration of approximately $2.33 million is based on
the Parent Company’s 30 day average closing share price of $0.237 between October 14, 2024, and November 22, 2024. The value of
the purchase price consideration will change based on fluctuations in the share price of SciSparc’s ordinary shares and the number
of ordinary shares of SciSparc outstanding on the closing date.
The
following is a summary of the components of the estimated consideration (in thousands except per-share information and the exchange ratio)
if the acquisition of AutoMax had occurred on June 30, 2024:
Estimated Parent Company’s ordinary shares outstanding* |

| ** | Represents
the SciSparc’s 30-day average closing share price between October 14, 2024, and November 22, 2024 |
The estimated consideration
of the purchase price will depend on the market price of SciSparc’s ordinary shares when the acquisition is consummated. SciSparc
believes that a 72% fluctuation in the market price of its ordinary shares is reasonably possible based on historical volatility, and
the potential effect on estimated consideration would be:

Note 4 - Pro Forma Adjustments
The
following describes the pro forma adjustments related to the Merger, that have been made in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of comprehensive loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024, giving effect to the Merger as if it had been
consummated at the beginning of the period presented, and in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial position
as of June 30, 2024, giving effect of the Merger as if it had occurred on June 30, 2024, all of which are based on preliminary estimates
that could change significantly as additional information is obtained:
|
(a) |
Represents the balance sheet impact of the difference between the estimated consideration to be paid ($2,329 thousand) as described in note 3 - Estimated purchase price consideration, as if the acquisition of AutoMax was consummated on June 30, 2024, and the total equity, net, of AutoMax ($9,387 thousand). |
|
(b) |
Represents additional Merger transaction costs in the amount of $450 thousand. |
|
(c) |
Represents the income statement impact of the difference between the estimated consideration to be paid ($2,329 thousand) as described in note 3 - Estimated purchase price consideration, as if the acquisition of AutoMax was consummated on June 30, 2024, and the total equity, net, of AutoMax ($9,387 thousand). |
|
(d) |
Represents the estimated transaction costs of approximately $450 thousand incurred by SciSparc in consummating the purchase of AutoMax. The expenses were recognized as general and administrative expenses as this is the amount attributed to legal advisors SciSparc consulted with for the consummation of the purchase. |
|
|
|
|
(e) |
Represents the cancellation of a short term loan granted by SciSparc to AutoMax that as of June 30, 2024, amounted to $2,443 thousand. |
|
|
|
|
(f) |
Represents the cancellation of investment of SciSparc in the shares of AutoMax, as of June 30, 2024, amounted to $283 thousand. |
Note 5 - Basic and diluted profit
per share
Net
loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding after taking into account the issuance of additional
SciSparc ordinary shares in connection with the Merger, assuming such shares were outstanding since January 1, 2024. As the transactions
are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding
for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the transactions have been outstanding for the entire
periods presented.

D. |
Effect of changes in business environment on Group’s activities and business condition: |
The Company imports its inventory of
vehicles from various suppliers, from Europe and North America. Its revenues derive from the sale of vehicles in Israel, as denominated
in the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”). Therefore, the Company is exposed to depreciation in the exchange rate of NIS against foreign
currencies, from which vehicles are imported. In light of the decline trend in the exchange rate of NIS against foreign currencies that
the Company has been exposed to since the beginning of 2023, the Company has modified the combination of vehicles it imports and the purchase
currencies (in accordance with the changes in the market). In addition, the Company implements a currency risk management policy which
is designed to reduce these exposures.
AutoMax Motors Ltd.
For the purpose of the consolidated financial
statements
(in thousands of NIS)
Note 1 - General (continued)
In June 2024, the consumer price index rose by 0.1%, according to forecasts,
leading to an annual inflation rate (between June 2023 and June 2024) of 2.9%. In January 2024, the Bank of Israel decided to lower the
annual interest rate by 0.25% to a level of 4.5%, which also applies at the time of the statements’ publication.
The credit lines provided by banking
corporations to the companies within the Group (as defined in Note 1(g)) bear interest at the rate of the prime interest rate (which is
the Bank of Israel’s interest plus 1.5%. At the time of the publication of the financial statements, the prime interest rate is
6%), plus a specific rate, as agreed during deliberations with the banking corporations upon actual takeout of the credit. This rate is
influenced, among other things, by the market interest rate, the credit volume, and the bank’s familiarity with the Company. Therefore,
the increase in the Israeli interest rate has led to a rise in the Group’s financing costs, which may affect the financial results
of the Group and its profitability. However, the Company does not expect that a higher interest rate environment will pose a practical
obstacle in obtaining credit from banks or other financing entities.
However, the high interest rate environment
and the effects of the current multi-front war that Israel is involved in, especially if the war continues or expands, are expected to
slow down the growth rate of the market in general and the Company in particular, as well as cause a decline in private consumption. In
a forecast published in July 2024 by the Research Department of the Bank of Israel, the Israeli growth rate in 2024 is expected to be
1.5% (a decrease of 0.5% compared to the forecast published in April), and the rate of growth in private consumption is expected to increase
from a negative rate of 0.7% in 2023, to 2% in 2024, and 5% in 2025 (a decrease of 2.5% and 0.5%, respectively, compared to the forecast
published in April). High inflation and interest rates may negatively affect the Company’s sales pace and consequently its profitability.
During the first quarter of 2023, the
government began promoting a plan to make fundamental changes to the legal system in Israel, culminating in the Knesset’s approval
of the Fundamental Law: The Judiciary (Amendment No. 3) (reducing the grounds of reasonableness), without agreement with the opposition,
in a manner that provoked public criticism and widespread protests, and its annulment on January 1, 2024 by the Supreme Court. The proposed
changes aroused widespread controversies and criticisms, which may, according to various publications by international credit rating companies
(such as Moody’s), financial bodies, senior economists in the market, heads of academia and experts in the fields of law, economics
and society in Israel, influence the stability of the economy and the market in Israel. These changes, along with other factors detailed
below, have led to a downgrade of Israel’s credit rating by international rating agencies, as well as a downgrade of rating forecasts
by these agencies.
As of the date of the publication of
these financial statements, no further changes have yet been promoted in the judicial system in Israel, and it seems that in light of
the outbreak of the war that Israel is currently involved in, there is no prospect of further changes being promoted in the foreseeable
future.

Note 1 - General (continued)
Such changes may have a negative impact
on the economic environment in which the Company operates, on the cost of financing sources, on the credit rating of the Israeli market,
and more. However, since these are changes, most of which have not yet been enacted or entered into force, the extent of their impact
on the Israeli economy and the automotive industry in general and the Company in particular, are unknown and cannot be assessed at this
stage.
As of the second quarter of 2023, the
Company is working to reduce the cost of vehicle inventory per vehicle it owns by increasing the supply of vehicles of the intermediate
and lower category, that are marketed by the Company, with the aim of adjusting the Company’s vehicle inventory to the increased
demand for vehicles of the intermediate and lower category, as a result of the economic and financial situation in the State of Israel.
The Company is exploring the expansion
and diversification of the sources of supply of imported vehicles, including brands manufactured in China that have gained increased demand
in the Israeli car market. According to the Company’s assessment, the implementation of this move will have a positive impact on
its revenues.
The Company bases its cash flows for
the upcoming periods on the consolidated cash flows, taking into account the individual cash flows of the companies it holds, in order
to prudently attend to all of the Company’s obligations towards bondholders (series B) and the held companies towards various banking
corporations and third parties.
To this end, the Group has taken and
continues to take the following steps:
|
1. |
Modifying the combination of imported and sold vehicles in the Company’s branches according to the current demand of its customers. The changes in the business environment as mentioned above, caused a demand for vehicles in the intermediate and small vehicle categories. During the reporting period, the Company mainly sold vehicles from the intermediate category, which corresponds with the Company’s plans to change its vehicle mix to vehicles in the intermediate and small category and contributed to an increase in sales compared to the same period last year. |
|
2. |
The Group is flexible regarding the financing of advances to suppliers and discount policies to customers according to the market situation, interest rates and exchange rates and the needs of the Company. |
|
3. |
The financing that the Company provides to the companies within the Group is subject to the Company’s amortization schedule it has agreed to with the bondholders (series B). |
|
4. |
Strengthening the Company’s equity capital through capital raising (including the merger transaction (insofar as it is completed) with SciSparc Ltd. (“SciSparc”), as detailed in Note 5(2) below). |
It should be clarified that the Company’s
assumption regarding the repayment of loans provided to held companies, which have been granted credit facilities by banking corporations,
is based on the fact that on the repayment date as mentioned, the held companies will comply with the financial covenants and other terms
that they have undertaken towards those banking corporations.
AutoMax Motors Ltd.
For the purpose of the consolidated financial
statements
(in thousands of NIS)
Note 1 - General (continued)
The Company raised funds from the public
via bonds (series B), as detailed in Note 4 below. As part of the shelf prospectus and the deed of trust, the Company undertook to comply
with a number of financial covenants, detailed in note 3(c) hereunder. The Company’s policy and operations are aimed at meeting
the principal and interest payments to bondholders (series B) as well as the financial covenants at any point in time. The Company has
various tools for implementing this policy, as detailed below:
|
1. |
Selecting the mix of imported vehicles, the import currencies, the amount of advances to suppliers and the selling prices in Israel, as detailed above. |
|
2. |
Inventory management policy - the Group can increase or decrease the quantity of vehicles and inventory value according to its operational plans and seasonality in the automotive industry. |
As of the date of the publication of
this report, the Company is unable to assess the full future effects, to the extent that they may be, of all of the factors mentioned
above on the automotive industry in Israel in general and on the Company’s activities in particular. However, the Company estimates
that its financial stability, along with its financial sources and the actions detailed above, will enable it to continue and finance
its activities and meet its obligations in the foreseeable future.
| E. | Effects of Israel’s Multi-Front War: |
On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched
an attack on the State of Israel. Following the attack, the Israeli government declared war, named the Iron Swords war, and mobilized
approximately 300,000 reserve soldiers and launched an attack on the Gaza Strip (“the war”). Subsequent to this,
the conflicts between Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel and Iran and Israel have intensified. The immediate impact of the outbreak of the
war on Israel’s economy is evident, and was reflected, inter alia, in the depreciation of the shekel against foreign currencies,
declines in stock market prices, the closing of many businesses due to the directives of the Home Front Command and the extensive mobilization
of reserve soldiers, a trend that was moderated in the first quarter of 2024, with the release of reserve forces, the appreciation of
the shekel against foreign currencies, increases in exchange rates and a return to a certain routine in the shadow of the war.
However, as part of the macro-economic
forecast published by the Bank of Israel in July 2024, as detailed in the above explanation, the Bank of Israel has updated its forecast
regarding growth in output and private consumption, and it now expects that the direct economic impact of the conflict, on all fronts,
will continue until the beginning of 2025 and that against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict, the recovery of economic activity during
2025 is expected to be gradual. This assumption reflects a prolonged and intense waging of battles, compared to the assumption that was
at the basis of the previous forecast from April 2024. In addition, the forecast is characterized by a high level of uncertainty and an
increased likelihood of more severe security scenarios, such as further prolongation of the war and/or its intensification in various
arenas.

(in thousands of NIS)
Note 1 - General (continued)
With the outbreak of the war, the Company
worked to reduce its ongoing expenses, as much as possible under the circumstances, including reducing advertising and marketing expenses,
reducing other ongoing expenses, and reducing personnel expenses. In addition, the Company also worked to reduce its fixed expenses, as
much as possible under the circumstances, including partial or no payment of rent in some of its branches.
With the outbreak of the war, the Houthis,
an Islamic political and military organization in Yemen, declared war on Israel, and began to launch missiles at targets in Israel as
a supportive action for Hamas and Hezbollah, to launch drones at Israel, and to attack ships that they claim have a connection to Israel.
As a result of these attacks on ships, several shipping companies have announced the suspension of sailing through the Red Sea. The situation
developed into an international crisis that led to the formation of an international coalition to ensure freedom of navigation and the
declaration by the United States and its allies of the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian against the Houthis in order to stop attacks
against vessels. In July 2024, following a missile attack in Tel Aviv, Israel retaliated against Yemen.
The Company imports its vehicle inventory
mainly from Europe and North America, and therefore it is not expected to be directly affected by the disruptions resulting from the Houthi
organization’s attacks on vessels in the Red Sea region which have caused changes in shipping routes. However, the changes and disruptions
in the shipping routes as mentioned above have caused significant delays in delivery dates and an increase in logistics and transportation
prices within Europe and from Europe to Israel. The delays in delivery dates and the increase in logistics and transportation prices within
Europe and from Europe to Israel have had a negative impact on the Company’s financial results.
It should be noted that with the outbreak
of the war and its continuation, a number of government decisions have been made that may have a positive impact on the Group’s
activities. This includes providing compensation for the decrease in transaction volumes of businesses, some of which are included in
the standards established for this matter (a request for compensation has been submitted), compensation for the full damage caused to
businesses in frontier settlements (which is relevant to the Company’s branches in Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Beer Sheva) (a request
for compensation has been submitted) and receiving a state-guaranteed loan.
AutoMax Motors Ltd.
For the purpose of the consolidated financial

(in thousands of NIS)
Note 1 - General (continued)
The Company regularly examines its
eligibility and works to receive the benefits in accordance with government decisions as stated. In addition, in January 2024, the Company
received a state-guaranteed loan from a banking corporation in the amount of NIS 16,000 (for additional details, see Note 32(1) in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023). In addition, for the months of November and December 2023,
the Group companies are entitled to receive compensation from the state in the amount of approximately NIS 5,400 (as recognized in the
financial reports).
In light of the outbreak of the war,
the Company took action to raise capital by way of a private offering in the amount of NIS 10,000 which was completed on December 31,
2023 and strengthened the Company’s equity and liquidity. Furthermore, on April 10, 2024, the Company entered into a binding merger
agreement, or the “Merger Agreement”, with SciSparc, a company incorporated in Israel and whose securities are traded on Nasdaq
Capital Market. For further details, see Note 5(2) below. This transaction, as soon as it is completed, is expected to strengthen the
Company’s liquidity and equity.
On February 9, 2024, the international
rating agency Moody’s announced the downgrade of Israel’s credit rating to A2 (from a level of A1), and also lowered the rating
outlook from “stable” to “negative”. In the report, the rating agency estimated that the broad implications of
the war significantly increase the political risks in the State of Israel, weaken the legislative and executive authorities, and significantly
impact Israel’s budgetary stability in the foreseeable future.
In April 2024, S&P Global Ratings
also announced the downgrade of Israel’s rating from AA- to A+, and maintained the rating outlook as “negative”, mainly
due to the escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran, as detailed below, and the geopolitical risks that Israel has been dealing
with since the outbreak of the war.
In April 2024, Iran directly attacked
Israel, launching hundreds of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, an attack that was thwarted by air defense systems, in
cooperation with other countries, including the United States. The escalation with Iran, as also noted by the rating agency S&P, may
have a significant impact on Israel, the Middle East, and other involved countries. Since the publication of the report, it is impossible
to dismiss the threat of escalation on the Iranian front and any other unforeseen developments in the war, especially escalation leading
to a full-scale war on the northern front, particularly in light of Iran’s threats and Hezbollah’s organization that they
will attack Israel in response to Israel’s alleged actions. As mentioned, escalation can have a significant impact on Israel as
well as on other involved countries in the Middle East region and globally, and may cause a substantial negative effect on the economic
situation in Israel.

Note 1 - General (continued)
During the reporting period, Turkish
trade officials announced the suspension of trade between Turkey and Israel. Dalhom AutoMax imports and markets buses manufactured by
Temsa in Turkey in Israel. Furthermore, Global AutoMax imports and markets the vehicles it purchases in Turkey. The cessation of trade,
as mentioned, has a negative impact on the supply of vehicles and on the prices of logistics and transportation of vehicles to Israel.
The Company does not have the ability
to assess or estimate the duration of the period in which the trade suspension with Turkey will remain in effect, and therefore the impact
of the above on the long-term results of the Group’s operations. However, the Company does not expect a significant impact on the
Group’s business since it has (in Israel) a stock of Temsa buses and has worked to find ways of operation and alternatives for the
continued regular supply of Temsa vehicles and buses to Israel.
On May 20, 2024, the Prosecutor of
the International Criminal Court in The Hague announced his request filed with the Court to issue arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes
against humanity allegedly committed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant, and Hamas leaders. Furthermore,
on May 24, 2024, following South Africa’s appeal to the International Court of Justice (“ICJ”) in the Hague, alleging
that Israel is apparently violating its obligations under the resolution regarding the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide
within the framework of the war, the court decided to issue orders for a ceasefire in Rafah and to submit a status report within a month.
On July 19, 2024, at the request of the United Nations, an advisory opinion was given by the ICJ, according to which the ongoing occupation
of Israel in the Palestinian territories (including the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem), as well as the establishment of settlements and
exploitation of natural resources, apparently violate international law. As mentioned, these developments may undermine Israel’s
international standing and lead to the imposition of sanctions on Israel, which could have a negative impact on its economy.
As of the date of the publication of
these financial statements, in light of the war being a dynamic occurrence characterized by significant uncertainty, the Company is unable
to assess the full future effects, if any, of the war and/or the expansion of its scope on the automotive industry in Israel in general
and on the Company’s activities in particular. However, the Company estimates that its financial stability, along with its financial
sources and the actions detailed above (including those detailed in Note 1d of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as
of December 31, 2023), will enable it to continue financing its operations and meet its obligations in the foreseeable future.
| F. | Separate financial information: |
The Company did not include separate
financial information in these financial statements due to the insignificance of the additional information. The Company fully owns Global
AutoMax, and as of the date of the report on the financial condition, most of the Group’s business activity is carried out through
Global AutoMax, which is fully reflected in the Group’s consolidated report. As of the date of the statement of financial position,
the Company has no business activity and therefore the publication of separate financial statements will not constitute additional material
information for the reasonable investor.

Drafting format of consolidated financial statements |
The interim financial statements are
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - “Interim Financial Reporting”, as well as in accordance
with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. The accounting policy
applied in the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements, except as described below, is consistent with that applied
in the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements.
B. |
Disclosure of new IFRS standards prior to their implementation |
As part of the Company’s annual
financial reports for 2023, information was provided regarding new International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and
amendments to the existing IFRS that are not yet mandatory and which the Company has not chosen to adopt early.
As of the date of approval of these
financial reports, there are no new regulations or amendments to existing regulations that have not been included in the Company’s
annual financial reports for the year 2023.
International Financial Reporting Standard 18 “Revenue
Recognition” (“IFRS 18”)
On April 9, 2024, IFRS 18 was published,
replacing International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The purpose of the
standard is to improve the manner of information presentation by entities to users in their financial reports.
The standard focuses on the following
areas:
|
1. |
Profit or Loss Statement Structure - Presentation of defined interim summaries and categorization into profit or loss statement categories. |
|
2. |
Requirements regarding the improvement of cooperation and the dissemination of information in financial reports and explanations. |
|
3. |
Presentation of information regarding performance measures defined by management that are not based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (non-GAAP) in the explanations to the financial reports. |
In addition, amendments to other IFRS
standards, including IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows,” will come into effect with the implementation of IFRS 18, aimed at improving
comparability between entities. The changes mainly include the use of a sub-summary of operating profit as a single starting point in
the implementation of the indirect method for reporting cash flows from current operations as well as the cancellation of the alternatives
for choosing an accounting policy regarding the presentation of interest and dividends. In light of this, except for certain cases, interest
and dividends received will be included within the framework of cash flows from investment activities, while interest and dividends paid
will be included within the framework of financing activities.
The standard will come into effect
for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2027 or later. The standard is applied retroactively, with specific transition instructions.
Early adoption is possible. The Company is examining the impact of IFRS 18, including the impact of amendments to other IFRS standards
as a result of its application, on the financial statements.

Implementation for the first time of new standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations. |
Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
In January 2020, the IASB published
an amendment to IAS 1 regarding the requirements for the presentation of current or non-current liabilities (“the original amendment”).
In October 2022, the IASB published an amendment to the aforementioned amendment (“the follow-up amendment”).
The amendment determined that:
|
● |
Only financial covenants that an entity must meet at the end of the reporting period or earlier, affect the classification of that obligation as current or non-current. |
|
● |
For commitments that the compliance with financial covenants is tested within the following 12 months from the reporting date, disclosure should be provided in a manner that allows users of the financial statements to assess the risks associated with that commitment. According to the follow-up amendment, disclosure should be made regarding the value in the books of the obligation, information on financial covenant units, as well as facts and circumstances at the end of the reporting period that may lead to the conclusion that the entity has difficulty in complying with the financial covenant units. |
The original amendment determined that
the right of conversion of an obligation will affect the classification of the entire obligation as either a current or non-current obligation,
except in cases where the conversion component is monetary.
The original amendment and the amendment
will be applied for settlement starting from annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024.
The above amendment did not have a
material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

and accounting standardization, which exist at the time of the issuance, and without taking into account regulatory changes. In calculating
the equity, the Company’s liability to the former shareholders of Optimatic Media, Inc. will be taken into account as part of the
