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 2023. 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 half-year were:
David Perlmutter Chairman Jacob Hanoch Managing Director and CEO Yoav Nissan Cohen Executive Director Atiq Raza Non-Executive Director Ashley Krongold Non-Executive Director Naomi Simson Non-Executive Director, appointed September 1, 2023 Mark Licciardo Non-Executive Director, resigned September 1, 2023
Directors have been in office during the half-year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.
Significant Events During the Period
The Group delivered several key milestones in the first half of FY24 (H1 FY24), as it continues to progress its technical and commercial roadmaps. The Company is well-positioned to secure new licensing and customer agreements with foundries, integrated device manufacturers (“IDMs”), and product companies in calendar year 2024.
Licensed ReRAM to DB HiTek
In October, the Group signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with South Korean Tier-1 foundry DB HiTek. Under the agreement, comprising technology transfer and qualification, DB HiTek’s extensive customer base will have access to Weebit ReRAM for their designs.
Weebit ReRAM will be available in DB HiTek’s 130nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process, used for analog, mixedsignal and power designs in consumer, industrial, and other IoT devices. DB HiTek has the option to extend the agreement to other process nodes. Technology transfer to DB HiTek is now well underway.
Generated first IP revenues
The Group marked a major commercialisation milestone during the half-year, receiving its first IP licensing proceeds from two customers totaling A$446,313. While these initial licensing fees are relatively small, they represent the Group’s significant technical progress in recent years. In 2024, the Group expects ongoing small licensing and NRE payments from its existing customers, as well as other foundries and IDMs as they are signed up during the year.
The Group’s IP licensing model will see it generate revenue from foundries, IDMs, and product companies via licensing fees for design and manufacture; engineering fees or designs and processes; and royalties per customer use. Royalties will be received once customers begin shipping end products, which is not expected to be in 2024.
Automotive grade-1 qualification at SkyWater
The Group continues to qualify its embedded ReRAM IP module at higher temperature and endurance levels, achieving automotive grade-1 qualification in SkyWater’s S130 process in November. Automotive grade 1 nonvolatile memories (“NVMs”) require qualification at up to 125 degrees Celsius for 10 years or more, broadening applicability for Weebit ReRAM to include industrial, IoT and aerospace products as well as many automotive components .

WEEBIT NANO LIMITED ACN: 146 455 576
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Significant Events During the Period (Continued)
The qualification was based on a 1T1R (one-transistor, one-resistor) memory module and performed to wellknown JEDEC industry standards for NVMs. Weebit ReRAM is now ready for production tapeout at SkyWater. The milestone follows qualification at these temperatures with demo chips produced at CEA-Leti.
First 22nm wafers from GlobalFoundries
In November, the Group received the first 22nm wafers with its embedded ReRAM from GlobalFoundries. Manufactured in GlobalFoundries’ advanced 22 FDX platform, initial tests of these silicon wafers are showing positive results on the array. One of the industry’s most common process nodes, 22nm provides a significant opportunity for Weebit ReRAM as embedded flash is not viable at this geometry.
Agreements with partners & customers
ReRAM continues to gain industry traction with a growing number of foundries and IDMs expressing interest in the Group’s embedded ReRAM. The Group is well-positioned to address this demand, and is targeting agreements with multiple foundries and IDMs in 2024. The Company is progressing evaluations and negotiations with many of the world’s leading foundries and IDMs.
Several product companies are interested in licensing Weebit ReRAM for projects at SkyWater Technology, however, unavailable IPs and other issues at SkyWater have delayed these engagements. The Group is working with SkyWater to address these challenges and progress agreements with product companies.
Market engagement
The Group ramped up its sales and marketing activity in the first half of FY24 to increase awareness of its embedded ReRAM technology and support discussions with potential partners and customers. The Company participated at multiple industry events during the half-year, including Flash Memory Summit in California, NonVolatile Memory Technology Symposium in Belgium, the 2023 International Workshop on Characterization and Modeling of Memory Devices (IWCM) in Milan, and the 2023 International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (“ICCAD”) in Guangzhou. In January 2024, the Group attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2024) in Las Vegas.
In line with its inclusion in the ASX 200, the Group’s management team has increased its engagement with the broader investment community, presenting at Canaccord Genuity Annual Growth Conference in Boston; Oppenheimer’s Annual Technology, Internet & Communications Conference; Jefferies Annual Semiconductors, IT Hardware & Communications Infrastructure Conference in Chicago; Jefferies Israel Tech Trek; and Automic Invest. Post reporting period end, CEO Coby Hanoch presented virtually at the 26th Needham Growth Conference.
Awards
During the half-year, Weebit ReRAM technology and team were recognised at several prestigious industry awards, winning the Electronics Industry Awards’ Embedded Solution of the Year and being named a finalist in Elektra Awards’ Design Team of the Year.
Board changes
During the half-year, highly credentialed Australian executive Ms Naomi Simson joined the Board of the Group as an independent Non-Executive Director. An experienced corporate marketer and entrepreneur, Ms Simson is the founder of online marketplace for experiences, RedBalloon, co-founder of services platform and consumer company Big Red Group, and is an executive on several Boards.
Ms Simson replaced interim Australian Non-Executive Director Mr Mark Licciardo, who stepped down from the Board but remains involved in the business as Company Secretary.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Significant Events During the Period
Governance
In September, the Group was added to the ASX 200 Index, reflecting its increased market capitalisation and significant commercialisation progress. As an ASX 200 company, the Board of the Group has enhanced its governance processes to align with industry best practice, establishing four sub-committees: Governance; Remuneration; Finance, Audit & Risk; and Technology. In addition, the Company has restructured Board committees to exclude executives, updated the CEO agreement, and streamlined operating procedures.
Review of Operations
During the half-year the Group had recognized its first IP revenue of $153,258. An additional $293,055 was received but recognised as a contract liability (see note 2).
The net loss attributable to members of the Company for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 amounted to $25,230,227 (2022: $22,276,150), mainly due to higher research and development costs due to achieving multiple technology milestones.
Subsequent Events
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the entity in future financial years.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial half-year.
Rounding amount
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, the amounts in the directors’ report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated 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 2023 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 (“AASB 134”) and the Corporations Act 2001 . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The consolidated 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 the consolidated interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2023 and any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half-year.
This consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2024.
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.
During the half-year the Group had recognized it’s first IP revenue of $153,258. An additional $293,055 was received but recognised as a contract liability (see note 2).
The Group reported a net loss for the half-year of $25,230,227 (2022: $22,276,150) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $16,477,764 (2022: $4,574,333). The Group had a net working capital surplus of $69,065,819 (June 2023: $84,315,004) including cash of $72,049,838 at 31 December 2023 (June 2023: $87,957,503). The loss mainly reflects the research and development activities of the Group.
Significant Accounting Judgements and Key Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial report 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.
- 10 -
WEEBIT NANO LIMITED ACN: 146 455 576
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
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 2023.
New and Revised Accounting Standards that are effective for these financial statements
A number of new and amended accounting standards are effective for the current reporting period, however, the change to the Group’s accounting policies arising from these standards has not required the Group to make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. The adoption of the new and amended accounting standards has therefore had no material impact on the Group for the half-year ended 31 December 2023.
Other amendments and interpretations relevant to the Group in a future period
A number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations have been issued that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. The Group has decided not to early adopt any of these new and amended pronouncements. The Group is currently in the process of assessing the new and amended pronouncements.
Rounding amount
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, the amounts in the directors’ report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
NOTE 2 – REVENUE
Revenue Recognition policy
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
-
identification of the contract with a customer;
-
identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
-
determination of the transaction price;
-
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
-
recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
As of 31 December 2023 the Group had signed license agreements with 2 foundries: SkyWater (USA) and DB HiTek (South Korea).
The performance obligation for the SkyWater agreement was completed during the half-year and accordingly the license fee of $153,258 was recognised as revenue.
As the license agreement with DB HiTek was only signed in November 2023, no revenue was recognised during the half-year as none of the performance obligations associated with the license agreement had been met as at 31 December 2023. Consequently the first payment received of $293,055 was recognised as a deferred revenue and is included in contract liabilities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Weebit Nano Limited
Report on the Condensed Interim Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed 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 2023, 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 material accounting policy information and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the condensed interim financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
iii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“ASRE 2410”). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the condensed 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 is necessary to enable the preparation of the condensed interim financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed interim financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the condensed interim 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 2023 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a condensed 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.
