Notes and other explanatory information [abstract] |  |
GENERAL | NOTE 1 - GENERAL:
A. | SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company (“Security Matters” or “ SMX” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) was incorporated in July 1, 2022 under the laws of Ireland with registered number 722009 and its registered office at Mespil Business Center, Mespil House, Sussex Road, Dublin 4, Ireland, D04 T4A6. The Company was incorporated in 2022 as part of the Business Combination (see Note 1.B).
The Group provides one solution to solve both authentication and track challenges in order to uphold supply chain integrity and provide quality assurance and brand accountability to producers of goods. Its technology works as a track and trace system using a marker, a reader and an algorithm to identify embedded sub-molecular particles in order to track and trace different components along a production process (or any other marked good along a supply chain) to the end producer. Its proprietary marker system embeds a permanent or removable (depending on the needs of the customer) mark on solid, liquid or gaseous objects or materials. Each marker is comprised of a combination of marker codes such that each marker is designed to be unique and unable to be duplicated. The marker system is coupled with an innovative patented reader that responds to signals from the marker and, together with a patented algorithm, captures the details of the product retrieved and stored on a blockchain digital ledger. Each marker can be stored, either locally on the reader and on private servers, cloud servers or on a blockchain ledger, to protect data integrity and custody.
B. | The SPAC transaction:
On March 7, 2023 (the “Closing Date”) the Company completed its SPAC transaction (the “Business Combination”) with Lionheart III Corp (“Lionheart”), following that Lionheart and Security Matters PTY Ltd. (formerly named Security Matters Limited, which was incorporated in May 2018 under Australian law) became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Company listed its ordinary shares and public warrants on the NASDAQ stock market under the tickers SMX and SMXWW, respectively. On July 26, 2022, Security Matters PTY Ltd. and Lionheart, a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), entered into a business combination agreement (the “BCA”) and accompanying scheme implementation deed (“SID”). Under the BCA, the existing Lionheart stockholders received the Company’s shares and warrants in exchange for their existing Lionheart shares and warrants and all shares existed in Security Matters PTY Ltd. were cancelled in return for the Company’s shares and resulting in Security Matters PTY Ltd. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Security Matters PTY Ltd. shareholders received consideration of 1 ordinary share per 10.3624 Security Matters PTY Ltd. shares, having an implied value of $10.00 per ordinary share and the Company became the holder of all of the issued shares in Security Matters PTY Ltd. and Lionheart, with Security Matters PTY Ltd. being delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange. The Business Combination resulted in 97.58% redemption by Lionheart’s public shareholders which resulted in leaving $3,061 of funds remaining in the trust account.
C. | As of June 30, 2025, the Company incurred accumulated losses of approx. $106 million and continued to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company has not yet generated revenue and is required to obtain additional financing in order to continue to operate. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During the period, the Company entered into ordinary share offering agreement of up to $6,875 of which $4,219 was received as of June 30, 2025 and $2,656 was received on July 3, 2025. Further the Company entered into convertible security agreement in the amount of $295.5. On August 1, 2025, the Company signed a convertible note to raise up to $13,750 (See note 9.4.) The Company plans to continue the issuance of shares and warrants and secure convertible notes and other funding sources as described in Note 9. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required for the Company’s long-term business plan. Considering the above, the Company’s dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
