* The income Tax Regulations (rules regarding ledger management of foreign invested companies and certain partnerships and the determination of their taxable income), 1986 allow Foreign Invested Companies (i.e., foreign holding percentage of more than 25%) to report for tax purposes in US dollars. The Company implemented these regulations on January 1, 2023.

 

d. Net operating loss carryforward:

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for Israeli tax purposes of approximately $121,880. These net operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward and offset against taxable income indefinitely.

 

e. Deferred tax assets and liabilities:

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and for carryforwards.

 

The principal components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

    December 31  
    2023     2022  
Deferred tax assets:            
Net operating loss carry forwards   $ 28,032     $ 21,991  
Research and development     6,252       4,834  
Employees and payroll accrual     299       272  
Property and equipment     79       57  
Total deferred tax assets     34,662       27,154  
                 
Valuation allowance     (34,662 )     (27,154 )
                 
Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance   $ -     $ -  

 

Based on the available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that certain of its deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences in Israel will not be realized and accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided.

 

f. Tax assessments:

 

The Israeli entity’s’ income tax assessments are considered final through 2018.

 

g. Unrecognized Tax Benefits:

 

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next 12 months. The Company’s accounting policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to an underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
