the questionWhich Luxembourg companies sit above or beside Q Cyber Technologies Ltd, and what do their registers and accounts show?

1Two companies called Q Cyber Technologies

analysisQ Cyber Technologies S.à r.l. is a separate company from the Israeli Q Cyber Technologies Ltd. According to Luxembourg register publications summarised by a company-data aggregator, it was registered on 8 January 2016 (register number B203124) with capital of €12,500, OSY Technologies as shareholder and Eran Gorev, Yuval Somekh and K. Wilson as managers. A publication of May 2019 lists its legal form as société à responsabilité limitée and its name as Q Cyber Technologies; on 20 August 2019 Charline de Maigret and "Shalev Holy", the spelling under which Shalev Hulio appears in Luxembourg and UK records, became managers while Gorev and Kevin Wilson left, and Somekh was again listed as a manager on 10 September 2019. Aggregator summaries also list under OSY a word mark "Q Cyber Technologies" (16 May 2017) and a word-figurative mark "Q" (20 October 2016), together with OSY's shareholding in Q Cyber Technologies; the trade mark registers themselves were not retained. 1 2

analysisNSO Group told the authors of a 2021 NGO report that the Luxembourg company acts as commercial distributor for the group companies' products: it signs contracts, issues invoices and receives payments from group customers, which form the basis of its reported income, but it does not export group products and has not sought an export licence in Luxembourg. The report, quoting the company's accounts, gives its net turnover from the sale and distribution of computer equipment and services as USD 24,738,462 in 2016, USD 82,651,201 in 2017, USD 169,214,909 in 2018 and USD 229,839,361 in 2019. Luxembourg business press reported in August 2022, based on financial filings, that NSO had booked most of its sales over the previous two years in Luxembourg; only the article's headline and summary were retained. 3 4

analysisRounded figures summarised by a Luxembourg company-data site from Q Cyber Technologies S.à r.l.'s filed accounts show net income of $9.28 million for 2022, $10.1 million for 2023, $7.98 million for 2024 and $7.66 million for 2025, with equity falling from $27.3 million in 2022 to $10.4 million in 2023 and $4.89 million in 2024 before rising to $6.04 million in 2025.

They omit details of companies in which OSY holds at least 20% as "seriously prejudicial" to them, while putting the fair market value of its subsidiaries at USD 842,000,000 under an internal valuation of November 2020. A company-data site summarising the filed accounts shows rounded net income of $3.9 million for 2021, -$9.39 million for 2022, $7.4 million for 2023 and -$2.81 million for 2024, with equity between -$267 million and -$277 million each year. 2 3 4

analysisThe same accounts record a USD 94,000,000 promissory note at 4% issued on 1 December 2014 by IOTA Holdings to its former shareholder in connection with the acquisition of IOTA's subsidiaries, which OSY paid to IOTA's former shareholder in 2015, acquiring the former shareholder's rights under the note, so that OSY carries it as a loan to IOTA (principal USD 116,063,116 at the end of 2024); a revolving credit facility of up to USD 2,000,000 at 3% to Gideon Cyber Systems LLC under an agreement of 31 January 2022 effective from 31 August 2021 (principal USD 1,802,000), listed among other debtors rather than affiliated undertakings and without any description of Gideon's business; and a facility to Westbridge Technologies, Inc. with a principal of USD 1,589,854. They also record pledges to Wilmington Trust (London) Limited over OSY's interests in Westbridge (8 April 2019, New York law), over OSY itself granted by NorthPole Newco (8 April 2019), over the shares OSY holds in an unnamed affiliated undertaking (17 May 2022, Israeli law) and over its shares in Iota Holdings (17 May 2022, Cypriot law); the Israeli-law pledge does not name the company, but Q Cyber Technologies Ltd is the Israeli company that OSY is recorded as owning. NorthPole Newco's accounts add a first-ranking pledge of all OSY shares to Wilmington Trust as collateral agent under an agreement of 14 March 2019. 3 2
