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 shares that previously traded on the NYSE American were approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)
and such shares began trading on Nasdaq on May 21, 2021 under the symbol, “NSPR.” The Company’s warrants that previously
traded on the NYSE American were approved for listing on Nasdaq, and such warrants began trading on Nasdaq on June 8, 2021.
b.
COVID-19
Pandemic
The
COVID-19 global pandemic has led governments and authorities around the globe to take various precautionary measures in order to
limit the spread of COVID-19, including government-imposed quarantines, lockdowns, and other public health safety measures. We experienced
a significant COVID-19 related impact on our financial condition and results of operations, primarily during the year ended December
31, 2020, which we primarily attribute to the postponement of CGuard EPS procedures (non-emergency procedures), as hospitals have
shifted resources to patients affected by COVID-19. To the best of our knowledge, most European countries in which we operate reinstated
non-emergency procedures. However, new COVID-19 variants, and potentially increasing infection rates make the current COVID-related
environment highly volatile and uncertain and we anticipate that the continuation of the pandemic and related restrictions and safety
measures will likely result in continued fluctuations in sales of our products, and potentially enrollments in our studies, for the
upcoming periods.
F- 10
NOTE
2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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 September 30, 2021 and its results
of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of
results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year.
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. 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 (the “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
(the “Series G Warrants”) 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 compensation warrants 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 818,523 shares of its common stock pursuant to its at-the-market (ATM)
issuance sales agreement with a sales agent. These sales resulted aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 5,659,000 .
F- 11
d.
On
February 3, 2021, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “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 (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.
e.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Series F and Series G warrants to purchase shares of common stock were exercised by investors

NOTE
5- 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, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units as the effect is anti-dilutive.
The
total number of shares of common stock related to outstanding options, warrants, unvested restricted stock, unvested restricted stock
units and Series C Preferred Stock excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 2,163,741 for the nine and three month
periods ended September 30, 2021.
The
total number of shares of common stock related to outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock, restricted stock units and Series
C Preferred Stock excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 2,091,917 for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 2020.

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. 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, C-Guardians, for
prevention of stroke in patients in the United States. C-Guardians 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 and Europe. Study sites in Europe may contribute a maximum of approximately 50% of the total enrollees. The primary
endpoint of the study will be the composite of incidence of death (all-cause mortality), all stroke, and myocardial infarction (DSMI)
through 30-days post-index procedure, based on the clinical events committee (CEC) adjudication and ipsilateral stroke from 31-365 day
follow-up, based on Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudication.
On
July 22, 2021, we announced the initiation of enrollment and successful completion of the first cases of our C-Guardian trial of CGuard
EPS. The first patients, who were under the care of principal investigator, Chris Metzger, M.D., system chair of clinical research at
Ballard Health System in Eastern Tennessee, were successfully implanted with the CGuard EPS stent device. These are the first of 315
patients who are expected to be enrolled in the trial and receive CGuard EPS in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis in symptomatic
and asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid artery stenting.
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, or 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, or 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™. As a result of declining
sales of the MGuard Prime EPS, which we believe is 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, we intend
to phase out future sales of our MGuard Prime EPS in 2022.
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
On
September 30, 2021, at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved our 2021
Equity Incentive Plan.
On
October 13, 2021, we announced that our CGuard EPS stent system received a positive opinion from the National Commission for the Evaluation
of Medical Devices and Health Technologies (CNEDIMTS) of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) regarding reimbursement in France,
and the CGuard EPS was being added to the list of reimbursed medical products (LPPR) effective October 25, 2021. This was the final step
to full commercial launch of CGuard EPS following CNEDIMTS’ positive opinion for reimbursement received by the Company on May 11,
2021 for the treatment of symptomatic and non-symptomatic lesions when surgery is not indicated.
COVID-19
Developments
The
COVID-19 global pandemic has led governments and authorities around the globe to take various precautionary measures in order to limit
the spread of COVID-19, including government-imposed quarantines, lockdowns, and other public health safety measures. We experienced
a significant COVID-19 related impact on our financial condition and results of operations, primarily during the year ended December
31, 2020, which we primarily attribute to the postponement of CGuard EPS procedures (non-emergency procedures), as hospitals have shifted
resources to patients affected by COVID-19. To the best of our knowledge, most European countries in which we operate reinstated non-emergency
procedures. However, new COVID-19 variants, and potentially increasing infection rates make the current COVID-related environment highly
volatile and uncertain and we anticipate that the continuation of the pandemic and related restrictions and safety measures will likely
result in continued fluctuations in sales of our products, and potentially enrollments in our studies, for the upcoming periods.
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 September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020
Revenues .
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, revenue increased by $91,000, or 9.3%, to $1,071,000, from $980,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 2020. This increase was predominantly driven by a 23.8% increase in sales volume of CGuard EPS from $833,000 during
the three months ended September 30, 2020, to $1,031,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This sales increase was mainly
due to the fact that in the three months ended September 30, 2021, procedures with CGuard EPS, which are generally scheduled for non-emergency
cases, continued to return to normal levels in additional territories as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, when
procedures with CGuard EPS were still somewhat postponed as hospitals shifted resources to patients affected by COVID-19. In addition,
the sales increased due to sales related to stents used in our FDA clinical trial which occurred in the three months ended September
30, 2021, but not in the corresponding period in 2020. The increase in sales of CGuard EPS was partially offset by a decrease of 72.8%
in sales of MGuard Prime EPS from $147,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, to $40,000 during the three months ended
September 30, 2021, largely driven by the predominant industry preferences favoring drug-eluting stents rather than bare metal stents
such as MGuard Prime EPS in STEMI patients.
With
respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $78,000 increase in revenue from Europe (primarily
driven by a $134,000 increase of CGuard EPS sales, offset, in part, by a $56,000 decrease of MGuard Prime EPS sales for reasons discussed
in the paragraph above).
Gross
Profit . For the three months ended September 30, 2021, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) decreased by $206,000, to $92,000,
from $298,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease in gross profit resulted from a $136,000 increase in material
and labor costs (mainly due to an increase in sales volume as well as a short term increase in production cost per unit), an increase
in write-offs of $66,000, due to components supply issues, a $57,000 increase in new employee training costs, and an increase of $38,000
in miscellaneous expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was partially offset by a $91,000 increase
in revenues mainly due to an increase in sales volume (as mentioned above). Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue) decreased
to 8.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 30.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, driven by the reasons
mentioned above.
Research
and Development Expenses . For the three months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased by 173.8%, or
$949,000, to $1,495,000, from $546,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from an increase
of $708,000 in expenses related to the commencement of the C-Guardians FDA study, $151,000 in development expenses related to CGuard
EPS new delivery system and accessory solutions and $91,000 in compensation expenses offset by a decrease of $1,000 in miscellaneous
expenses.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses . For the three months ended September 30, 2021, selling and marketing expenses increased by 65.4%, or $317,000,
to $802,000, from $485,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in compensation
expenses of $215,000 and other sales and marketing expenses of $102,000, both relating to increased activity associated with expansion
of existing and new markets.
General
and Administrative Expenses . For the three months ended September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by 24.9%,
or $364,000, to $1,826,000, from $1,462,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase in compensation expenses of $258,000, mainly due to an increase in salary expenses and related accruals of $137,000, and an
increase of approximately $121,000 of share-based compensation-related expenses due to the expense recognition of grants made since August
31, 2020. In addition, we had an increase in Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance expenses of $81,000, due to increased
premiums caused by recent trends in the overall insurance industry, expenses pertaining to the higher costs of our annual stockholders
meeting in 2021 compared to our annual stockholders meeting in 2020 of $63,000 offset by a decrease of $38,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Financial
Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, financial expenses increased by 5.3%, or $2,000, to $40,000, from $38,000
during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Tax
Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, there was no change in our tax expenses as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2020.
7
Net
Loss . Our net loss increased by $1,838,000, or 82.3%, to $4,071,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $2,233,000
during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $1,630,000 in operating
expenses and a decrease of $206,000 in gross profit.
Nine
months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020
Revenues .
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue increased by $788,000, or 33.9%, to $3,115,000, from $2,327,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was predominantly driven by a 45.4% increase in sales volume of CGuard EPS from $2,075,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, to $3,018,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This sales increase was
mainly due to the fact that in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, procedures with CGuard EPS, which are generally scheduled for
non-emergency procedures began to return to normal levels as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, when procedures with
CGuard EPS were postponed as hospitals shifted resources to patients affected by COVID-19 beginning in February 2020. This increase in
sales of CGuard EPS was partially offset by a decrease of 61.5% in sales of MGuard Prime EPS from $252,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, to $97,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, largely driven by the predominant industry preferences
favoring drug-eluting stents rather than bare metal stents such as MGuard Prime EPS in STEMI patients.
With
respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $743,000 increase in revenue from sales made
in Europe (driven by a $835,000 increase of CGuard EPS sales, offset, in part, by a $92,000 decrease of MGuard Prime EPS sales for reasons
discussed in the paragraph above), as well as a $60,000 increase in CGuard EPS revenue from sales made in Asia.
Gross
Profit . For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) decreased by 2.7%, or $13,000,
to $460,000, compared to a gross profit of $473,000 for the same period in 2020. This decrease in gross profit resulted from an increase
in write-offs of $89,000, which were driven mainly by components supply issues, a $45,000 increase in new employees training costs and
an increase of $91,000 in miscellaneous expenses. This decrease was partially offset by a $212,000 increase in revenues less the related
material and labor costs (as mentioned above). Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue) decreased to 14.8% during the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 20.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, driven by the reasons mentioned above.
Research
and Development Expenses . For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased by 139.5%, or
$2,111,000, to $3,624,000, from $1,513,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase of $1,191,000 in expenses related to the commencement of the C-Guardians FDA study, $515,000 in development expenses related
to CGuard EPS new delivery system and accessory solutions, $386,000 in compensation expenses and $19,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses . For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, selling and marketing expenses increased by 44.4%, or $660,000,
to $2,146,000, from $1,486,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in
compensation expenses of $627,000 and other sales and marketing expenses of $33,000 both relating to increased activity associated with
expansion of existing and new markets.
General
and Administrative Expenses . For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by 32.4%,
or $1,339,000, to $5,475,000, from $4,136,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase resulted primarily from
an increase in compensation expenses of $1,289,000 mainly due to increases in salary expenses and related accruals of $699,000 primarily
as a result of temporary salary reductions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that were implemented in response to the COVID-19
effect on revenues as well as additional headcount. In addition, compensation expenses increased due to an increase in $590,000 of share-based
compensation-related expenses following the expense recognition of grants made since August 31, 2020. In addition, we had an increase
in Directors’ and Officers’ Liability insurance expenses of $308,000, due to increased premiums caused by recent trends in
the overall insurance industry and an increase in shareholder related expenses of $181,000 mainly due to a special shareholders meeting
(which occurred in 2021, but not in 2020) and also due to higher costs of our annual stockholder meeting in 2021 compared to our annual
stockholder meeting in 2020. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $400,000 due to expenses for a settlement agreement
with an underwriter of prior offerings which occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and a decrease of $39,000 in miscellaneous
expenses.
8
Financial
Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, financial expenses increased by 24.1%, or $7,000, to $36,000, from $29,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Tax
Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there was no material change in our tax expenses as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2020.
Net
Loss . Our net loss increased by $4,130,000, or 61.7%, to $10,821,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $6,691,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $4,110,000 in operating
expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 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. pursuant to which we were able to 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 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) a securities purchase agreement (“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.

Nine
months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020
General .
At September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,059,000, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in our operating activities increased by $3,428,000 to $10,309,000, from $6,881,000
during the same period in 2020. The primary reason for the increase in cash used in our operating activities was an increase of $2,123,000
in payments for third party related expenses and for professional services (primarily due to the commencement of the C-Guardians study
and an increase in premium payments of our Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance and an increase of $1,267,000 in
compensation costs paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $4,601,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020
to $5,868,000 during the same period in 2021 as well as a decrease of $38,000 in payments received from customers, to $2,561,000 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $2,599,000 during the same period in 2020.
Cash
used in our investing activities was $24,298,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $83,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2020. The primary reasons for the increase in cash used by our investing activities were an investment of
$24,000,000 in short term bank deposits, an increase of $211,000 in payments made for purchase of property, plant and equipment to $237,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $26 during the same period in 2020.
Cash
provided by financing activities for the nine months September 30, 2021, was $35,034,000, compared to $12,327,000 during the same period
in 2020. The principal sources of the cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 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 $35,034,000 of aggregate
net proceeds. The principal sources of the cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were
our June 2020 public offering of common stock, pre-funded warrants and warrants, the subsequent exercise of the pre-funded warrants sold
in the offering, as well as exercise of our Series F warrants and unit purchase options that resulted in approximately $12,327,000 of
aggregate net proceeds.
As
of September 30, 2021, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by a multiple of 10.8. Current assets increased by $24,752,000
during the period and current liabilities increased by $15,000 during the period. As a result, our working capital increased by $24,737,000
to $36,371,000 as of September 30, 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.
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.
10
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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments.

4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of September 30, 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 September 30, 2021.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, that materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
