NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
a.
General
InspireMD,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is a medical device company focusing
on the development and commercialization of its proprietary MicroNet™ stent platform technology for the treatment of
complex vascular and coronary disease. MicroNet, a micron mesh sleeve, is wrapped over a stent to provide embolic protection
in stenting procedures.
The
Company’s carotid product (CGuard™ EPS) combines MicroNet and a self-expandable nitinol stent in a single device
to treat carotid artery disease.
The
Company’s coronary product combining MicroNet and a bare-metal stent (MGuard Prime™ EPS) is marketed for use in
patients with acute coronary syndromes, notably acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and saphenous vein graft coronary
interventions (bypass surgery).
The
Company markets its products through distributors in international markets, mainly in Europe.
As
of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has the ability to fund its planned operations
for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company expects to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations
until its products (primarily CGuard™ EPS) reach commercial profitability. Therefore, in order to fund the Company’s
operations until such time that the Company can generate substantial revenues, the Company may need to raise additional funds.
The Company’s common stock are traded on NYSE
American and have been approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). the Company is taking steps to commence
trading on Nasdaq under the symbol NSPR.
b.
COVID-19
Pandemic
In
an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel,
quarantines and other public health safety measures. As of the beginning of the second quarter of 2020, we began to experience
a significant COVID-19 related impact on our financial condition and results of operations, which we primarily attribute to
the postponement of CGuard EPS procedures (non-emergency procedures), as hospitals shifted resources to patients affected
by COVID-19. To the best of our knowledge, most European countries in which we operate are reinstating elective procedures,
but we do not know when the hospitals will resume to normal pre-pandemic levels with such procedures in light of recent increases
in COVID-19 cases in the territories we sell into. We anticipate that the continuation of the pandemic and related restrictions
and safety measures would likely result in a continued fluctuations in sales of our products for the upcoming periods.
NOTE
2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of the company, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2021 and its results of operations and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are
unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020,
as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2021. The results
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire
fiscal year.
F- 8
NOTE
3 - EQUITY:
a.
On
April 19, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of its common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, effective as of April 26, 2021, which decreased the number of issued and outstanding shares
of common stock and restricted stock as of March 31, 2021 from 117.8 million shares to 7.9 million shares.
All
related share and per share data have been retroactively applied to the financial statements and their related notes for
all periods presented.
b.
On
February 8, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 1,935,484 units (“Units”), with each
Unit being comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one Series G warrant
to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock.In connection with this public offering, the underwriter exercised its
over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 290,322 shares of common stock and 145,161 Series G Warrants.
The offering price to the public was $9.30 per Unit. The Series G Warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $10.23
per and expire five years from the date of issuance.
The
Company granted the Underwriter a compensation warrant to purchase up to 111,290 shares of Common Stock. The Underwriter
Warrants have an exercise price of $10.23 per share and are exercisable immediately and for five years from the date of
effectiveness of the registration statement in connection with the Offering.
The
net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after giving effect to the exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment
option, were approximately $18.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and payment of other
estimated expenses associated with the Offering, but excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of Series G Warrants
sold in the Offering.
c.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold 818,523 shares of its common stock pursuant to its at-the-market
(ATM) issuance sales agreement with an Underwriter. These sales resulted aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately
$5,659,000.
d.
On
February 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with three China-based partners, pursuant to which
the Chinese partners will be responsible for conducting the necessary registration trials for commercial approval of the
Company’s products in China, followed by an eight-year exclusive distribution right to sell the Company’s
products in China with the term of the agreement continuing on a year-to-year basis unless terminated. Under the Distribution
Agreement, the China-based partners will be subject to minimum purchase obligations. The Distribution Agreement may be
terminated for cause upon failure to meet minimum purchase obligations, failure to obtain regulatory approvals or for
other material breaches.
In
addition, and on the same day, the Company entered into an investment transaction with one of the Chinese parties to the
Distribution Agreement, , which included (i) a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the SPA, pursuant to which investor agreed
to invest $900,000 in exchange for 89,445 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $10.062 per
share.
F- 9
e.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, Series F and Series G warrants to purchase shares of common stock were exercised
by investors at an exercise price of $7.425 and $10.23 per share, resulting in the issuance of 1,225,412 shares of common
stock for proceeds of approximately $9,469,000.
f.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, all the remaining 17,303 shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 207,528 shares of common stock.
g.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, 625 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 831 shares
of common stock.
h.
On
January 11, 2021 the Company granted to employees options to purchase a total of 1,400 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The options have an exercise prices of $10.05 per share, which was the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date of the grant. The options are subject to a three-year vesting period, with one-third of such
awards vesting each year.
In
calculating the fair value of the above options the Company used the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% and expected
term of 5.5-6.5 years; expected volatility of 129.12%-136.78%; and risk-free interest rate of 0.59%-0.76%.
The
fair value of the above options, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was approximately $12,635.
i.
On
January 11, 2021, the Company granted 4,200 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to employees and directors.
The shares are subject to a three-year vesting period, with one-third of such awards vesting each year.
The
fair value of the above restricted shares was approximately $42,207.
j.
As
of March 31, 2021, there were 1,718 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, convertible into an aggregate of 2,280
shares of our common stock.
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,794,158 shares of common stock

NOTE
4- NET LOSS PER SHARE:
Basic
and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential share issuances of
common stock upon the exercise of share options, warrants, and restricted stocks as the effect is anti-dilutive.
The
total number of shares of common stock related to outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock, restricted stock units, Series
C Preferred Stock and placement agent units excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 2,164,985 for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.
NOTE
5 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
a.
Fair value of financial instruments
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments included in working capital approximate their fair value either because these amounts

time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We do not undertake any
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such
statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Overview
We
are a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of our proprietary MicroNet™ stent platform
technology for the treatment of complex vascular and coronary disease. A stent is an expandable “scaffold-like” device,
usually constructed of a metallic material, that is inserted into an artery to expand the inside passage and improve blood flow.
Our MicroNet, a micron mesh sleeve, is wrapped over a stent to provide embolic protection in stenting procedures.
Our
CGuard™ carotid embolic prevention system (“CGuard EPS”) combines MicroNet and a self-expandable nitinol stent
in a single device for use in carotid artery applications. Our CGuard EPS received CE mark approval in the European Union in March
2013 and was fully launched in Europe in September 2015. Subsequently, we launched CGuard EPS in Russia and certain countries
in Latin America and Asia, including India. In September 2020, we launched CGuard EPS in Brazil after receiving regulatory approval
in July 2020 and, as discussed below, on February 3, 2021 we executed a distribution agreement with Chinese partners for the purpose
of expanding our presence in China. Currently, we are seeking strategic partners for a potential launch of CGuard EPS in Japan.
4
On
September 8, 2020, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of our Investigation Device
Exemption (“IDE”), thereby allowing us to proceed with a pivotal study of our CGuard™ Carotid Stent System,
CARENET-III, for prevention of stroke in patients in the United States. CARENET-lll is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm,
pivotal study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CGuard™ Carotid Stent System when used to treat symptomatic and
asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. The trial will enroll approximately 315 subjects
in a maximum of 40 study sites located in the United States. Additional sites in Europe may also participate in the study, contributing
a maximum of ~50% of the total enrollees. The primary endpoint of the study will be the composite of the following: incidence
of the following major adverse events: death (all- cause mortality), all stroke, and myocardial infarction (DSMI) through 30-days
post-index procedure, based on the clinical events committee (CEC) adjudication or ipsilateral stroke from 31-365 day follow-up,
based on Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudication.
Additionally,
we intend to continue to invest in current and future potential product and manufacturing enhancements for CGuard EPS that are
expected to reduce cost of goods and/or provide the best-in-class performing delivery system. In furtherance of our strategy that
focuses on establishing CGuard EPS as a viable alternative to vascular surgery, we are exploring adding new delivery systems and
accessory solutions for procedural protection to our portfolio.
We
consider the addressable market for our CGuard EPS to be individuals with diagnosed, symptomatic high-grade carotid artery stenosis
(HGCS, ≥70% occlusion) for whom intervention is preferable to medical (drug) therapy. This group includes not only carotid
artery stenting patients but also individuals undergoing carotid endarterectomy, as the two approaches compete for the same patient
population. Assuming full penetration of the intervention caseload by CGuard EPS, we estimate that the addressable market for
CGuard EPS was approximately $1.0 billion in 2017 (source: Health Research International 2017 Results of Update Report on Global
Carotid Stenting Procedures and Markets by Major Geography and Addressable Markets).
Our
MGuard™ Prime™ embolic protection system (“MGuard Prime EPS”) is marketed for use in patients with acute
coronary syndromes, notably acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and saphenous vein graft coronary interventions (bypass
surgery). MGuard Prime EPS combines MicroNet with a bare-metal cobalt-chromium based stent. MGuard Prime EPS received CE mark
approval in the European Union in October 2010 for improving luminal diameter and providing embolic protection. However, as a
result of a shift in industry preferences away from bare-metal stents in favor of drug-eluting (drug-coated) stents, in 2014 we
decided to curtail further development of this product in order to focus on the development of a drug-eluting stent product, MGuard
DES™. Due to limited resources, however, our efforts have been limited to testing drug-eluting stents manufactured by potential
partners for compatibility with MicroNet and seeking to incorporate MicroNet onto a drug-eluting stent manufactured by a potential
partner. The FDA has clarified that the primary mode of action for drug-eluting cardiovascular stents, which are regulated as
combination products, is that of the device component and has assigned the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)
primary responsibility for premarket review and regulation, providing some clarity about what to expect regarding the regulatory
framework related to the development of MGuard DES™.
We
also intend to develop a pipeline of other products and additional applications by leveraging our MicroNet technology to new applications
to improve peripheral vascular and neurovascular procedures, such as the treatment of the superficial femoral artery disease,
vascular disease below the knee and neurovascular stenting to seal aneurysms in the brain.
Presently,
none of our products may be sold or marketed in the United States.
We
were organized in the State of Delaware on February 29, 2008.

Recent
Developments
Reverse
Stock Split
On
April 14, 2021, our stockholders approved a reverse stock split of our common stock, following which, and on the same date, our
board of directors approved a ratio of 1-for-15 for the reverse stock split, or the Reverse Stock Split. On April 14, 2021, the
Delaware Secretary of State approved our Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which
set an effective date of April 26, 2021 for the Reverse Stock Split, or the Effective Date. The post-Reverse Stock Split CUSIP
number for our common stock is 45779A 846.
On
the Effective Date, the total number of shares of our common stock held by each stockholder was converted automatically into the
number of whole shares of common stock equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by such stockholder
immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (ii) 15.
No
fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and no cash or other consideration was be paid. Instead,
we issued one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split common stock to any shareholder who otherwise would have received a
fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Public
Offering
On
February 8, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 1,935,484 units, with each such unit being comprised of one share
of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one Series G Warrant to purchase one-half of one share of our common stock.
The offering price to the public was $9.30 per unit. The Series G Warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $10.23 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, and expire five years from the date of issuance. We also granted the underwriter
of the offering an option to purchase an additional 290,322 shares of our common stock and Series G Warrants to purchase 145,161
shares of our common stock, which the underwriter exercised in full. In connection with the offering we granted to the underwriter
a compensation warrant to purchase up to 111,290 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $10.23 per share and which
are exercisable for five years from February 3, 2021. Our net proceeds from the offering, after giving effect to the exercise
of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, were approximately $18.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and payment of other expenses associated with the offering, but excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise
of Series G Warrants sold in the offering.
Distribution
and Purchase Agreement with Chinese Partners
On
February 3, 2021, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with three China-based partners, pursuant to which the Chinese partners
will be responsible for conducting the necessary registration trials for commercial approval of our products in China, followed
by an eight-year exclusive distribution right to sell our products in China with the term of the agreement continuing on a year-to-year
basis unless terminated. Under the Distribution Agreement, the China-based partners will be subject to minimum purchase obligations.
The Distribution Agreement may be terminated for cause upon failure to meet minimum purchase obligations, failure to obtain regulatory
approvals or for other material breaches.
In
addition, and on the same day, we entered into an investment transaction with QIDI, which included (i) a securities purchase agreement,
or SPA, pursuant to which QIDI Asia Medical Limited, a Hong Kong limited company, or QIDI, agreed to invest $900,000 in exchange
for shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $10.062 per share, and (ii) an investor rights agreement, or IRA, whereby
QIDI was provided certain customary registration rights, including a commitment by us to file a registration statement with the
SEC on Form S-1 or Form S-3 and have such registration statement become effective not later than 150 days following the closing
of the transactions under the SPA.
The
transactions closed on February 5, 2021.

ATM
Offering
On
July 28, 2020, we entered into a Sales Agreement with A.G.P. pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, at our
option, through or to A.G.P., up to an aggregate of approximately $9,300,000 of shares of our common stock (the “ATM Facility”).
On January 11, 2021, we increased the aggregate amount of shares of our common stock that may be sold under the Sales Agreement
from $9,300,000 to $10,382,954, and, as a result, utilized and sold the maximum amount allowable under the ATM Facility, which
resulted in an aggregate amount of $10,381,958.
COVID-19
Developments
In
an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which the World Health Organization, or WHO, declared to be a pandemic
on March 12, 2020, many countries have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, quarantines and other public health safety
measures. As of the beginning of the second quarter of 2020, we began to experience a significant COVID-19 related impact on our
financial condition and results of operations, which we primarily attribute to the postponement of CGuard EPS procedures (non-emergency
procedures), as hospitals shifted resources to patients affected by COVID-19. To our knowledge, most European countries in which
we operate are slowly reinstating elective procedures, but we do not know when the hospitals will resume to normal pre-pandemic
levels with such procedures in light of recent increases in COVID-19 cases in the territories we sell into. We anticipate that
the continuation of the pandemic and related restrictions and safety measures would likely result in continued fluctuations in
sales of our products for the upcoming periods. For more discussion on our risks related to COVID-19, please see risk factors
included under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” herein.
In
response to significant market volatility and uncertainties relating to COVID-19, the fees and salaries of our Board, management
and most of our employees were reduced in order to alleviate corporate operating expenses.
Effective
April 1, 2020, the Board approved a 50% decrease in the annual cash compensation for non-employee directors from an aggregate
amount of $154,000 to $77,000. Effective as of the same date, we reduced the annual salaries of most of our employees by 20% to
30% until further notice.
On
April 21, 2020, Marvin Slosman, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Craig Shore, our Chief Financial Officer,
Chief Administrative Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, each signed waivers reducing their monthly base salaries for the period
beginning April 1, 2020 and which, pursuant to their independent determinations, ended on June 1, 2020. Each of the salaries for
the remaining officers, directors and employees was similarly reinstated by no later than June 30, 2020.
As
a result of the reduction of those fees and salaries during the second quarter of 2020, our operating expenses were reduced by
approximately $235,000 in the second quarter of 2020.
Critical
Accounting Policies
A
critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation
and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in both (i)
“Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (ii) Note
2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2020. There have not been any material changes to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2020.
The
currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”).
Contingencies
We
and our subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We record
accruals for these types of contingencies to the extent that we conclude the occurrence of such contingencies is probable and
that the related liabilities are estimable. When accruing these costs, we recognize an accrual in the amount within a range of
loss that is the best estimate within the range. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, we
accrue for the minimum amount within the range. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Results
of Operations
Three
months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020
Revenues .
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenue decreased by $28,000, or 2.7%, to $1,006,000, from $1,034,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 2020. CGuard revenue remained essentially unchanged at $969,000 during the three months ended March 31,
2021 as compared to $971,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, in spite of the continued postponement of many elective
procedures as a result of the residual COVID directed resources. However, MGuard Prime EPS revenue decreased by a 41.3% from $63,000
during the three months ended March 31, 2020, to $37,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, largely driven by the predominant
industry preferences favoring drug-eluting stents rather than bare metal stents such as MGuard Prime EPS in ST-Elevation Myocardial
Infarction (“STEMI”) patients.
With
respect to geographical regions, the decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a $25,000 decrease in revenue from Asia and the
Middle East (primarily driven by a $22,000 decrease of CGuard EPS for the reasons discussed in the paragraph above), a decrease of $12,000
in revenue from sales made in Europe (primarily driven by a $17,000 decrease of MGuard Prime EPS sales for the reasons discussed in the
paragraph above), offset, in part, by an increase of $15,000 in revenue from sales made in Latin America (primarily driven by a $20,000
increase of CGuard EPS sales for the reasons discussed in the paragraph above).
Gross
Profit . For the three months ended March 31, 2021, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) decreased by 64.1%, or $189,000,
to $106,000, from $295,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease in gross profit resulted from an increase
in write-offs of $156,000, which were driven mainly by a component supply issue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
an increase of $33,000 in miscellaneous expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin (gross profits as
a percentage of revenue) decreased to 10.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 28.5% during the three months ended
March 31, 2020, driven by the factors mentioned above.
Research
and Development Expenses . For the three months ended March 31, 2021, research and development expenses increased by 60.4%,
or $316,000, to $839,000, from $523,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase of $136,000 in development expenses related to CGuard EPS new delivery system and accessory solutions, an increase of
$112,000 in compensation expenses and an increase of $68,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses . For the three months ended March 31, 2021, selling and marketing expenses increased by 13.5%, or $84,000,
to $708,000, from $624,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in
compensation expenses of $162,000 relating to increased activity associated with expansion of existing and new markets, offset,
in part, by a decrease in travel expenses of $59,000 in light of restrictions imposed by governments worldwide in order to mitigate
the spread of COVID-19, offset, and by a decrease of $19,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
General
and Administrative Expenses . For the three months ended March 31, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by 60.2%,
or $704,000, to $1,873,000, from $1,169,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from
an increase in compensation expenses of $431,000, mainly due to an increase in salary expenses and related accruals of $195,000,
and an increase of approximately $209,000 of share-based compensation-related expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2021,
due to the expense recognition of grants made in the second half of 2020, an increase in Directors’ and Officers’
Liability Insurance expenses of $118,000, partially due to increased premiums caused by recent trends in the overall insurance
industry, an increase in shareholder related expenses of $108,000 mainly due to a special shareholders meeting (which occurred
in 2021, but not in 2020, during the first quarter of the fiscal year) and an increase of $47,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Financial
Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, financial income increased by 65.1%, or $28,000, to $71,000, from $43,000
during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in financial income primarily resulted from an increase of $46,000
in financial income related to changes in exchange rates, offset, in part, by an increase of $18,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Tax
Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was no change in our tax expenses as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2020.
Net
Loss . Our net loss increased by $1,265,000, or 64.0%, to $ 3,243,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $1,978,000
during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $1,104,000 in operating
expenses and a decrease of $189,000 in gross profit.
8
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of March 31, 2021, we have the ability to fund our planned operations for at least the next 12 months from issuance date of the
financial statement. However, we expect to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations until our products
(primarily CGuard™ EPS) reach commercial profitability. Therefore, in order to fund our operations until such time that
we can generate substantial revenues, we may need to raise additional funds.
On
July 28, 2020, we entered into a Sales Agreement with A.G.P. in connection with the ATM Facility. Any shares to be offered and
sold under the Sales Agreement will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 333-223130), filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018 and the prospectus supplement thereto filed with the SEC on July 28,
2020, by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or if specified by us, by any other method permitted by law. On January 11, 2021, we increased the aggregate
amount of our shares of common stock that may be sold under the Sales Agreement from $9,300,000 to $10,382,954, and, as a result,
utilized and sold the maximum amount allowable under the ATM Facility, which resulted in an aggregate amount of $10,381,958.
On
February 3, 2021, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with three China-based partners and on the same day, we entered into
an investment transaction with QIDI, which included (i) an SPA, pursuant to which QIDI agreed to invest $900,000 in exchange for
shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $10.062 per share, and (ii) an IRA, whereby QIDI was provided certain customary
registration rights, including a commitment by us to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-1 or Form S-3 and have
such registration statement become effective not later than 150 days following the closing of the transactions under the SPA.
The transaction closed on February 5, 2021.
On
February 8, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 1,935,484 units, with each such unit being comprised of one share
of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one Series G Warrant to purchase one-half of one share of common stock.
The offering price to the public was $9.30 per unit. The Series G Warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $10.23 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, and expire five years from the date of issuance. We also granted the underwriter
of the offering an option to purchase an additional 290,322 shares of common stock and Series G Warrants to purchase 145,161 shares
of common stock, which the underwriter exercised in full. In connection with the offering, we granted to the underwriter a compensation
warrant to purchase up to 111,290 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10.23 per share and which are exercisable
for five years from February 3, 2021, the date of effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with the offering.
Our net proceeds from the offering, after giving effect to the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, were
approximately $18.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and payment of other estimated expenses associated
with the offering, but excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of Series G Warrants sold in the offering.

Three
months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020
General .
At March 31, 2021 , we had cash and cash equivalents of $44,034,000, as compared to $12,645,000 as of December 31, 2020 .
We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuing new shares, borrowing activities and product sales. Our
cash requirements are generally for research and development, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative costs,
capital expenditures and general working capital.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in our operating activities increased by $1,287,000 to $3,641,000, from $2,354,000
during the same period in 2020. The primary reason for the increase in cash used in our operating activities was an increase of
$647,000 in payments for third party related expenses and for professional services (primarily due to a settlement payment made
to a former distributor) and an increase of $410,000 in compensation costs paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021,
from $1,904,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $2,314,000 during the same period in 2021 as well as a decrease of
$230,000 in payments received from customers, to $759,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2021, from $989,000 during the
same period in 2020.
Cash
used in our investing activities was $24,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $3,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 2020. The primary reasons for the increase in cash used by our investing activities were: an increase of
$26,000 in payments made for purchase of property, plant and equipment to $26,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021,
from $0 during the same period in 2020.
Cash
provided by financing activities for the three months March 31, 2021, was $35,068,000, compared to $3,000 during the same period
in 2020. The principal sources of the cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were
our February 2021 public offering of common stock and warrants, exercise of Series F and Series G warrants, proceeds from an At-the-market
offering as well as proceeds from the issuance of shares to Chinese distributor that resulted in approximately $35,068,000 of
aggregate net proceeds. The principal source of the cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March
31, 2020, was the funds received from the exercise of pre-funded warrants that resulted in approximately $3,000 of aggregate net
proceeds.
As
of March 31, 2021, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by a multiple of 16.1. Current assets increased by $30,911,000
during the period and current liabilities decreased by $839,000 during the period. As a result, our working capital increased
by $31,750,000 to $43,384,000 as of March 31, 2021.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with
unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
10
Factors
That May Affect Future Operations
We
believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors,
including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, cyclical nature of the ordering patterns of our distributors, timing of regulatory
approvals, the implementation of various phases of our clinical trials and manufacturing efficiencies due to the learning curve
of utilizing new materials and equipment. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the Euro and strengthening
of the New Israeli Shekel, or NIS, both against the U.S. dollar. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect
customer demand, such as individual country reimbursement policies pertaining to our products. For a discussion of these and other
risks that relate to our business, you should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Part
II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The
ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations remains undetermined and will depend on future developments,
which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, including the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic,
new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective
actions that regulators, or the board or management of the Company, may determine are needed.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments.

Management’s
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of March 31, 2021, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of
any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Based
upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, that materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
From
time to time, we may be involved in litigation that arises through the normal course of business. As of the date of this filing,
we are not aware of any material changes from the information set forth in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the Form
10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2021 and available at the following link:
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1433607/000149315221005564/form10-k.htm#a_003
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Except
for the Risk Factors set forth herein, there have been no material changes from the information set forth in “Item 1A. Risk
Factors” in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2021.
The
Reverse Stock Split may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of our common stock.
On
April 14, 2021, our stockholders approved the Reverse Stock Split, and, pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment to our Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which was approved by the Delaware Secretary of State on April 14, 2021, the Effective
Date of the Reverse Stock Split was April 26, 2021. The primary purpose for the Reverse Stock Split was to increase the price
of our common stock in order to meet the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and,
secondly, to provide appropriate flexibility we require to issue shares in the event that our board of directors determines that
it is necessary or appropriate to (i) raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, (ii) enter into strategic
business transactions, (iii) provide equity incentives to directors, officers and employees pursuant to equity compensation plans
or (iv) further other corporate purposes. The effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the market price for our common stock cannot
be accurately predicted. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period
following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines during the period following the Reverse Stock
Split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. The market price of our
common stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split or the number of shares outstanding.
Moreover,
because some investors may view the Reverse Stock Split negatively, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will not
adversely impact the market price of our common stock. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after the Reverse Stock Split
may be lower than the market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.
