DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your Directors have pleasure in submitting their report on Weebit Nano Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), for the half year ended 31 December 2021. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the Directors report as follows:
Directors
The names and details of Directors in office at any time during the period were:
David Perlmutter Non-Executive Chairman Jacob Hanoch Managing Director and CEO Yoav Nissan Cohen Executive Director Ashley Krongold Non-Executive Director Fred Bart Non-Executive Director Atiq Raza Non-Executive Director
Directors have been in office since the date of appointment to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.
Significant Events During the Period
During the six months ended 31 December 2021 (H1 FY22), Weebit delivered substantial technical and commercial progress across multiple fronts and has positioned itself strongly to continue executing on its growth strategy and commercialising its ReRAM memory technology.
First commercial deal with US-based SkyWater; technology transfer underway
In September 2021, Weebit secured its first commercial deal with US-based semiconductor foundry SkyWater Technology Inc. The deal incorporates a technology transfer and qualification agreement, as well as a nonexclusive licensing agreement.
Successfully scaled down and demonstrated ReRAM at 28nm
Weebit and CEA-Leti successfully scaled its ReRAM technology down to 28nm on 300mm wafers, demonstrating very good endurance, data retention and other production-level parameters. As the 28nm geometry is widely used in a range of advanced embedded applications, this demonstration is a key step towards commercialisation of embedded Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) for AI, autonomous driving, 5G and advanced IoT.
Further strengthened balance sheet
Weebit Nano completed a successful $35.2 million Placement and Entitlement Offer during H1 FY22, welcoming four Israel-based institutional investment and pension funds to the register. An additional $8 million was received through the exercising of options as of 31 December 2021 and in January 2022 another $8.5 million was raised via the exercise of listed options.
First silicon demo wafers received
During the period, Weebit received the first manufactured silicon wafers integrating its embedded ReRAM module inside complete subsystem demonstration chips. These demo chips are an important commercialisation milestone, supporting the adoption of Weebit’s technology by enabling potential customers to run applications and test Weebit’s technology ahead of commercial orders and volume production. The demo wafers were sliced into chips and packaged, and are now being tested, characterised and qualified.
Expanded strategic partnership with CEA-Leti
In August 2021, Weebit licensed additional IP from CEA-Leti under a new strategic agreement. The integration of CEA-Leti’s IP has improved Weebit’s array-level endurance by an order of magnitude and increased data retention 2 times compared to previous results under the same conditions. These improvements enable Weebit to address new high-volume markets such as automotive and smart cards that require high-temperature reliability up to 175°C and high-temperature compatibility for wafer level packaging.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Significant Events During the Period
Filed for six new patents, protecting intellectual property
Weebit Nano continues to build its intellectual property portfolio, filing six new patents during H1 FY22. Four of these were joint patents with CEA-Leti and relate to different selector-based memory structures and their programming schemes. The other two patents outlined innovations in developing smart algorithms and optimising ReRAM cells for power consumption and reducing time to complete a memory write transaction.
Review of Operations
The net loss attributable to members of the Company for the half year ended 31 December 2021 amounted to $21,525,884 (2020: $7,435,980). The increase in net loss compared to the prior period is mainly due to an increase in research and development costs due to an accelerated development process.
Subsequent Events
Demonstrated its first crossbar ReRAM arrays
Post reporting-period, Weebit and CEA-Leti achieved a key technical milestone for the discrete (stand-alone) market, demonstrating its first operational Kilobit (Kb) crossbar arrays that combine Weebit’s ReRAM technology with a selector. Weebit’s crossbar arrays were developed using 1S1R (one selector one resistor) architecture, which have potential applications in storage class memory, persistent memory, as a NOR flash replacement, as well as machine learning in-memory computations and neuromorphic computing.
Gabriel Molas appointed Chief Scientist
In January 2022, Weebit Nano appointed ReRAM and non-volatile memory (NVM) expert Gabriel Molas as Chief Scientist. Mr Molas is leading the Company’s applied research efforts, focused on continuous ReRAM optimisations and ongoing leadership on all technical parameters. He brings more than 17 years NVM experience to Weebit, gained at CEA-Leti where he led numerous ReRAM research projects including work with Weebit’s ReRAM.
After period end the following shares were issued and options were exercised:
-
563,160 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $2.84 per share
-
18,869,828 listed options at an exercise price of $0.45 per option
-
36,725 unlisted options at an exercise price of $0.2312 per option

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
Weebit Nano Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial report of the Group as at and for the half year ended 31 December 2021 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries – Weebit Nano Israel and Weebit Nano France, together referred to as the Group.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The interim financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in a full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made by Weebit Nano Ltd during the half year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
This consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2022.
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated interim financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Financial Position
The consolidated interim financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group reported a net loss for the period of $21,525,884 (2020: $7,435,980) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $14,253,462 (2020: $6,738,891). The Group had a net working capital surplus of $44,998,901 (June 2021: $20,997,222) including cash of $47,701,819 at 31 December 2021 (June 2021: $21,726,173). The loss mainly reflects the research and development activities of the Group.
Significant Accounting Judgements and Key Estimates
The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this half year report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the activities and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific
- 9 -
WEEBIT NANO LIMITED ACN: 146 455 576
Notes to the Financial Statements
notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Reclassification of Comparatives
In order to ensure consistency with the results reported at 30 June 2021, losses from movements in foreign exchange of $1,931,328 have been reclassified from finance costs to other comprehensive income in the comparative period ending 31 December 2020. The reclassification can be seen in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. There is no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Weebit Nano Limited
Report on the Interim Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Weebit Nano Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of accounting policies, other explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the interim period.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial report of Weebit Nano Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410), in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the period ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
15
As the auditor of Weebit Nano Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Weebit Nano Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
