Unit Option under Amendment No. 3. This Unit Option period began on May 15, 2023 and terminated on June 15, 2023. Our Unit Program consisted
of the combination of Common Stock and warrants with basic Unit Program features, conditions and terms outlined in the Original Prospectus
Supplement and Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No.2. Amendment No. 3 provided the option period, unit price and the determination of the
number of shares of Common Stock and warrants per unit. As mentioned above, this Unit Option began on May 15, 2023 and is terminated on
June 15, 2023. The Unit Option consisted of Units of our securities where each Unit (priced at $ 250.00 each) was comprised of (i) a certain
number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing $ 250.00 (the price of one Unit) by the average of the high and low sale prices
of the Company’s publicly traded common stock as reported on the OTCQX on the Unit Purchase Date and (ii) Common Stock purchase
warrants to purchase an additional two hundred ( 200 ) shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $ 0.25 . The participant’s
Plan account was credited with the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants that were acquired under the Units
purchased. Each warrant affords the participant the opportunity to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a warrant exercise price
of $ 0.25 . The warrant shall have the Company notation of “ZNWAZ” and will not be registered for trading on the OTCQX or any
other stock market or trading market. Plan participants, who enroll
into the Unit Program with the purchase of at least one Unit and enroll in the separate Automatic Monthly Investments (“AMI”)
program at a minimum of $ 50.00 per month, will receive an additional three hundred (300) warrants at an exercise price of $ 0.25 during
this Unit Option Program. The three hundred (300) additional warrants are for enrolling into the AMI program and shall receive the above
warrant with the Company notation of “ZNWAZ.” Existing subscribers to the AMI were entitled to the additional three hundred
(300) warrants, if they purchased at least one (1) Unit during the Unit program. The ZNWAZ warrants became exercisable on July 17, 2023 and continue
to be exercisable through July 17, 2024 at a per share exercise price of $ 0.25 . For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately $ 1,761,000 , and $ 2,553,000 were raised under the DSPP program, respectively.
The $ 2,553,000 figure is net of $ 173,000 in equity issuance costs to an outside party. For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately $ 1,566,000 , and $ 12,993,000 were raised under the DSPP program, respectively. The company raised approximately $ 921,000 from the period July
1, 2023 through August 8, 2023, under the DSPP program. The
warrants represented by the company notation ZNWAA are tradeable on the OTCQX market under the symbol ZNOGW. However, all of the other
warrants characterized above, in the table below, and throughout this Form 10-Q, are not tradeable and are used internally for classification

5 - Right of use lease assets and lease obligations The
Company is a lessee in several non-cancellable operating leases for transportation and office space. The
table below presents the operating lease assets and liabilities recognized on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and December 31,
2022: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 US$ thousands US$ thousands Operating lease assets $ 79 $ 202 Operating lease liabiliti Current operating lease liabilities $ 67 $ 196 Non-current operating lease liabilities $ 12 $ 12 Total operating lease liabilities $ 79 $ 208 The
depreciable lives of operating lease assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The
Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the
discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate
the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term
of a lease within a particular currency environment. The Company used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating
leases that commenced prior to that date. The
Company’s weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of June 30, 2023 June 30, 2023 Weighted average remaining lease term (years) 0.6 Weighted average discount rate 4.9 % 30 Zion

6 - Commitments and Contingencies A.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Investigation As previously disclosed by the Company, on June
21, 2018, the Fort Worth Regional Office of the SEC informed Zion that it was conducting a formal, non-public investigation and asked
that we provide certain information and documents in connection with its investigation, which we did. On
April 5, 2023, the Company received from the Fort Worth Regional Office of the SEC written notice to the Company concluding the investigation
as to the Company and that the SEC does “not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the Commission against Zion.” B.
Litigation From
time to time, the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends
itself vigorously in all such matters. However, we cannot predict the outcome or effect of any of the potential litigation, claims or
disputes. The
Company is not subject to any litigation at the present time. C.
Market Conditions – Coronavirus Pandemic During
March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain
of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The pandemic significantly impacted the economic conditions in the United States and Israel,
as federal, state and local governments reacted to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the United States,
Israel and world economies. In the interest of public health and safety, jurisdictions (international, national, state and local) where
we have operations, restricted travel and required workforces to work from home. However, as of the date of this report, most of our
employees are working at our physical offices, but have the ability to work from home as needed. While there are various uncertainties
to navigate, the Company’s business activities are continuing. The situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the
business may arise that we are not aware of currently. We cannot predict whether, when or the manner in which the conditions surrounding
COVID-19 will change including the timing of lifting any restrictions or work from home arrangements. The
full extent of COVID-19’s impact on our operations and financial performance depends on future developments that are uncertain
and unpredictable, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its impact on capital and financial markets and any new information
that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, its spread to other regions as well as the actions taken to contain it, among others. D.
Environmental and Onshore Licensing Regulatory Matters The
Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental
clean-up of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures and other obligations as they relate to the drilling of oil and
gas wells or the operation thereof. Various guidelines have been published in Israel by the State of Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner
and Energy and Environmental Ministries as it pertains to oil and gas activities. Mention of these older guidelines was included in previous
