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.
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company has not provided a deferred tax liability in respect of cumulative undistributed earnings relating to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, as the Company intends to keep these earnings permanently invested.
