Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information
set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition,
or future results.
There have been no material
changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as noted
below.
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and
Capital Requirements
We believe our current cash on hand will not be sufficient to
fund our projected operating requirements for a period of twelve months from the issuance of these interim financial statements included
in this Quarterly Report. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We believe that our current
cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements for a period of twelve months from the issuance of our
interim financial statements including in this Quarterly Report. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern and could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise.
If we cannot continue as a going concern, our investors may lose their entire investment in our securities. Until we can generate significant
revenues, if ever, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding
will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of,
or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our products.
Risks Related to our Business and Industry
Significant changes
or developments in U.S. laws or policies, including changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto,
may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial statements.
Significant changes or developments
in U.S. laws and policies, such as laws and policies surrounding international trade, foreign affairs, manufacturing and development and
investment in the territories and countries where we or our customers operate, can materially adversely affect our business and financial
statements. Tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, may increase the cost of certain raw materials and components used in our products.
If these tariffs remain in place or are expanded, or if new trade restrictions are implemented, our manufacturing costs could increase,
which could materially and adversely affect our margins and financial results.
22
Furthermore, changes in trade
policy have increased uncertainty in our industry, and any escalation in trade tensions could disrupt our supply chain, delay production
timelines, or require costly modifications to sourcing and logistics strategies. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting
impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the
U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and
cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets.
Risks Related to Israeli Law and Our Operations in Israel
Our principal executive
offices and other significant operations are located in Israel, and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic
and military instability in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s
war against them.
Our executive offices and
corporate headquarters are located in Israel. In addition, our officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political,
economic and military and security conditions in Israel and the surrounding region may directly affect our business. Any conflicts, political
instability, terrorism, cyberattacks or any other hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel
and its present trading partners could adversely affect our operations. Ongoing and revived hostilities in the Middle East or other Israeli
political or economic factors, could harm our operations.
In October 2023, Hamas terrorists
infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas
also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza
Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians
and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist
organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.
Following the attack
by Hamas on Israel’s southern border, Hezbollah in Lebanon has also launched missile, rocket and shooting attacks against Israeli
military sites, troops, and Israeli towns in northern Israel. In response to these attacks, the Israeli army has carried out a number
of targeted strikes on sites belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. It is possible that other terrorist organizations, including
Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank, as well as other hostile countries, such as Iran, will join the hostilities. Such
hostilities may include terror and missile attacks. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between
Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations. Although the Israeli government currently
covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government
coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have
a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business
conditions and could harm our results of operations.
In April 2024 and October
2024, Iran launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened to continue to attack Israel.
Relations between Israel and Iran continue to be hostile, due to the fact that Iran is a state sponsor of Hamas and Hezbollah, maintains
a military presence in Syria and Lebanon, alongside Israel’s northern border, and is viewed as a strategic threat to Israel in light
of its nuclear program. On June 13, 2025, in light of continued nuclear threats and intelligence assessments indicating imminent attacks,
Israel launched a preemptive strike directly targeting military and nuclear infrastructure inside Iran aimed to disrupt Iran’s capacity
to coordinate or launch further hostilities against Israel, as well as disrupt its nuclear program. The United States joined Israel in
this military action. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran was declared by the United States on June 24, 2025. Certain ceasefire agreements
have also been reached with Hamas and Lebanon (with respect to Hezbollah), however, these agreements have failed to be fully upheld and
military activity and hostilities continue to exist at varying levels of intensity, and the situation remains volatile, with the potential
for escalation into a broader regional conflict.
23
On September 10, 2025, a ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel
and Hamas, effectively ending the large-scale military operations in the Gaza Strip. As part of the agreement, all remaining living Israeli
hostages have been released and returned to Israel. A number of deceased hostages remains are to be returned, and the parties continue
to cooperate in that process. The ceasefire has generally held as of the date of these financial statements, although the security situation
remains fragile, and the risk of renewed hostilities persists.
In connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s declaration
of war against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations, several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted
to perform immediate military service. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, several of our contractors and regular consultants
(and their spouses or partners) as well as employees of our customers in Israel have been called for reserve service, resulting
in temporary disruptions to our regular business operations during the third quarter of 2025. Additional employees (or their spouses or
partners) or contractors may be called, for service in the current or future wars or other armed conflicts with Hamas, and such persons
may be absent for an extended period of time. As a result, our operations in Israel may be disrupted by such absences, which disruption
may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, in the past, the
State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict business with the State
of Israel and with Israeli companies. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse impact on our operating results, financial
condition or the expansion of our business. A campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions has been undertaken against Israel, which
could also adversely impact our business. Moreover, we cannot predict how this war will ultimately affect Israel’s economy in general,
which may involve a downgrade in Israel’s credit rating by rating agencies (such as the recent downgrade by Moody’s of its
credit rating of Israel from A1 to A2, as well as the downgrade of its outlook rating from “stable” to “negative”).
We may also be targeted by cyber terrorists specifically because we are an Israeli-related company.
Prior to the Hamas attack
in October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system. In response to the foregoing developments,
individuals, organizations and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed changes may negatively
impact the business environment in Israel including due to reluctance of foreign investors to invest or transact business in Israel as
well as to increased currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates, increased volatility in securities
markets, and other changes in macroeconomic conditions. The risk of such negative developments has increased in light of the recent Hamas
attacks and the war against Hamas declared by Israel, regardless of the proposed changes to the judicial system and the related debate.
To the extent that any of these negative developments do occur, they may have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations
and our ability to raise additional funds, if deemed necessary by our management and board of directors.
