NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED 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 MGuard™ Prime™ embolic protection system (“MGuard Prime EPS”) was 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. Over the past
years there has been a shift in industry preferences away from bare-metal stents, such as MGuard Prime EPS in ST-Elevation Myocardial
Infarction (“STEMI”) patients. As a result of declining sales of the MGuard Prime EPS, which the Company believe is largely
driven by the predominant industry preferences favoring drug-eluting, or drug-coated, stents, during the second quarter of 2022 the Company
ceased sales of the company’s MGuard Prime EPS following a phase out period.
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. See also note 1b regarding the new European Medical Device Regulation.
b.
Failure to satisfy regulatory requirements of the
new European Medical Device Regulation by November 12, 2022 could prevent the Company from marketing CGuard EPS in Europe.
For the European Union nations, medical devices must obtain a CE mark before
they may be placed on the market. In order to obtain and maintain the CE mark, the Company must comply with EU law on medical devices,
which, until May 26, 2021 was governed by the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (“MDD”), by presenting comprehensive technical
files for its products demonstrating safety and efficacy of the product to be placed on the market and passing initial and annual quality
management system audit as per ISO 13485 standard by a European Notified Body. The Company has obtained ISO 13485 quality system certification
and CGuard EPS that the Company currently distributes into the European Union, displays the required CE mark. In order to maintain certification,
the Company is required to pass an annual surveillance audit conducted by Notified Body auditors. The European Union replaced the MDD
with the new European Medical Device Regulation, or MDR (MDR 2017/745). The MDR entered into force after a transitional period of three
years and a one year extension of that transition period due to the COVID-19 pandemic on May 26, 2021 and which changes several aspects
of the regulatory framework in the European Union. Manufacturers had the duration of the transition period to update their technical documentation
and processes to meet the new requirements in order to obtain a CE Mark. After May 26, 2021, medical devices can generally still be placed
on the market under the provision of the MDD until May 26, 2024; provided the CE Mark was issued prior to this date and the manufacturer
continues to comply with this directive. By May 26, 2024, all medical devices entering the EU will need to have a CE Mark under the MDR,
even if they have been on the market previously under the MDD. In the Company’s’ particular case, CGuard EPS can continue
to be marketed under the MDD until November 12, 2022. Specifically, the EU MDR requires changes in the clinical evidence required for
medical devices, post-market clinical follow-up evidence, annual reporting of safety information for Class III products, Unique Device
Identification (“UDI”) for all products, submission of core data elements to a European UDI database prior to placement of
a device on the market, and multiple other labeling changes. Currently the Company is under technical documentation review by the Notified
Body auditor which is requesting new submission of materials to meet the MDR requirements for recertification having completed the quality
management system Notified Body audit in October 2021. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy MDR requirements
by November 12, 2022. While the Company is seeking to expedite the review process, if the Company does not receive recertification by
this time or otherwise is determined to be non-compliant, its CE Mark used under the MDD will lapse and the Company will not be able to
promote and sell CGuard EPS into CE Mark European countries until the Company receives recertification, which could have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
c.
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. The Company experienced
a significant COVID-19 related impact on the company’s financial condition and results
of operations, primarily during the year ended December 31, 2020, which the Company primarily attribute
to the postponement of CGuard EPS procedures (non-emergency procedures), as hospitals have
shifted resources to patients affected by COVID-19. New COVID-19 variants, and potentially
increasing infection rates make the current COVID-related environment highly volatile and
uncertain and the Company anticipates that the continuation of the pandemic and related restrictions
and safety measures will likely result in continued fluctuations in sales of the company’s
products, potentially enrollments in the company’s studies as well as potential disruptions
to the company’s supply chain for the upcoming periods.
F- 10
d.
Risks Related to the Geopolitical and Military
Tensions Between Russia and Ukraine in Europe
In February 2022, Russia launched
a military invasion into Ukraine. The Company derived approximately 10.5% of total sales in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus in 2021 while during the
six and three months ended June 30, 2022 the company’s sales to Russia were 6.8% and 10.9% respectively, there were no sales to
Ukraine and minimal sales in Belarus. The escalation of geopolitical instability in Russia and Ukraine as well as currency fluctuations
in the Russian Ruble could negatively impact the company’s operations, sales, and future growth prospects in that region. As a result
of the crisis in Ukraine the United States, EU have implemented sanctions against certain Russian individuals and entities and have made
it more difficult for us to collect on outstanding accounts receivable from customers in this region. The company’s global operations
expose us to risks that could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or
the market price of the company’s securities, including the potential for increased tensions between the United States and Russia
resulting from the current situation involving Russia and Ukraine, tariffs, economic sanctions and import-export restrictions imposed
by either nation, and retaliatory actions by the other nation, as well as the potential negative impact on the company’s business
and sales in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Current geopolitical instability in Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions by the U.S. government
against certain companies and individuals may hinder the company’s ability to conduct business with potential or existing customers
and vendors in these countries. The U.S. government has imposed sanctions through several executive orders restricting U.S. companies
from conducting business with specified Russian and Ukrainian individuals and companies. While the Company believe that the executive orders currently
do not preclude us from conducting business with the company’s current customers or vendors in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, the
sanctions imposed by the U.S. government may be expanded in the future to restrict us from engaging with them. If the Company is unable
to conduct business with new or existing customers or vendors or pursue business opportunities in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, the company’s
business, including revenue, profitability and cash flows, and operations could be adversely affected. The Company cannot provide assurance that
current sanctions or potential future changes in sanctions will not have a material impact on the company’s operations in Russia,
Ukraine and Belarus or on the company’s financial results.
NOTE
2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As
of June 30, 2022, the Company had 155,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of which 150,000,000 are
shares of common stock and 5,000,000 are shares of “blank check” preferred stock.
b.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted to employees and consultants’ options to purchase a total of
154,508
shares of the Company’s common stock. The
options have an exercise price ranging from $ 2.61
- $ 2.97
per share, which was the fair market value of
the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. 98,838 options are subject to a three -year
vesting period, with one-third of such awards vesting each year and 55,670
options with performance
conditions, mainly related to clinical activities.
In
calculating the fair value of the above options, the Company used the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0 % and expected term of
5.125 - 6.5 years; expected volatility ranging from 127.43 % - 130.93 % ; and risk-free interest rate ranging from 1.79 % - 2.88 % .
The
fair value of the above options, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was approximately $ 360,356 .
NOTE
4 – RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
During
the six and three months ended June 30, 2022, a consulting company whose founder and CEO is a member of the company’s board of
directors, provided certain marketing services in the amount of $ 8,776
and $ 2,500 ,
respectively.
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, and restricted stocks 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 3,010,707 for the six and three-month
periods ended June 30, 2022.
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 2,251,468 for the six and three month periods ended June
30, 2021.

risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements.
For a discussion of these and other risks that relate to our business and investing in our common stock, you should carefully review
the risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and those described from time to 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.
All
information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to shares or price per share reflects the 1-for-15 reverse stock split effected
by us on April 26, 2021.
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 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 and other Asian countries. Our CE mark for CGuard EPS expires on November 12, 2022 and we are currently in the process of seeking recertification
under the new European Medical Device Regulation (see Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors “Failure to satisfy regulatory requirements
of the new European Medical Device Regulation by November 12, 2022 could prevent us from marketing CGuard EPS in Europe”).
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 was designed to 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 23, 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. We are currently continuing with the enrollment phase. In April 2022, we
completed our first European recruitment.
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, CGuard Prime. 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 such as SwitchGuard.
We
consider the current 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 will be
approximately $666 million in 2022 (source: Health Research International Personal Medical Systems, Inc. September 13, 2021 Results of
Update Report on Global Carotid Stenting Procedures and Markets by Major Geography and Addressable Markets). According to this same report,
assuming full penetration of the caseload for all individuals diagnosed with high-grade carotid artery stenosis, we estimate that the
total available market for CGuard EPS in 2022 will be approximately $5 billion.
Our
MGuard™ Prime™ embolic protection system (“MGuard Prime EPS”) was 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. Over the past years there has been a shift in
industry preferences away from bare-metal stents, such as MGuard Prime EPS in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (“STEMI”)
patients. As a result of declining sales of the MGuard Prime EPS, which we believe this is largely driven by the predominant industry
preferences favoring drug-eluting, or drug-coated, stents, during the second quarter of 2022 we ceased sales of our MGuard Prime EPS
following a phase out period.
We
also intend to develop a pipeline of other products and additional applications by leveraging our MicroNet technology to improve peripheral
procedures such as the treatment of the superficial femoral artery disease and vascular disease below the knee as well as neurovascular
procedures, such as the treatment of acute stroke.
Presently,
none of our products may be sold or marketed in the United States, but we do derive revenues from the use of our products in the currently
ongoing trials.
We
were organized in the State of Delaware on February 29, 2008.

Recent
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. 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 as well as potential disruptions to our supply chain for the upcoming periods.
In
February 2022, Russia launched a military invasion into Ukraine. We derived approximately 10.5% of total sales in Russia, Ukraine and
Belarus in 2021 while during the six and three months ended June 30, 2022 our sales to Russia were 6.8% and 10.9% respectively, there
were no sales to Ukraine and minimal sales in Belarus. The escalation of geopolitical instability in Russia and Ukraine as well as currency
fluctuations in the Russian Ruble could negatively impact our operations, sales, and future growth prospects in that region. As a result
of the crisis in Ukraine both the United States and the EU have implemented sanctions against certain Russian individuals and entities
and have made it more difficult for us to collect on outstanding accounts receivable from customers in this region. Our global operations
expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the market price
of our securities, including the potential for increased tensions between the United States and Russia resulting from the current situation
involving Russia and Ukraine, tariffs, economic sanctions and import-export restrictions imposed by either nation, and retaliatory actions
by the other nation, as well as the potential negative impact on our business and sales in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Current geopolitical
instability in Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions by the U.S. government against certain companies and individuals may hinder our
ability to conduct business with potential or existing customers and vendors in these countries. The U.S. government has imposed sanctions
through several executive orders restricting U.S. companies from conducting business with specified Russian and Ukrainian individuals
and companies. While we believe that the executive orders currently do not preclude us from conducting business with our current customers
or vendors in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, the sanctions imposed by the U.S. government may be expanded in the future to restrict us
from engaging with them. If we are unable to conduct business with new or existing customers or vendors or pursue business opportunities
in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, our business, including revenue, profitability and cash flows, and operations could be adversely affected.
We cannot provide assurance that current sanctions or potential future changes in sanctions will not have a material impact on our operations
in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus or on our financial results.
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, 2021. There have not been any material changes
to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021.
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 June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021
Revenues .
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue increased by $493,000, or 47.6%, to $1,531,000, from $1,038,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2021. This increase was predominantly driven by a 47.8% increase in sales volume of CGuard EPS from $1,019,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2021, to $1,505,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This sales increase was mainly due to
growth in existing and new markets and sales in the United States related to stents used in our C-Guardians FDA study which occurred
in the three months ended June 30, 2022, but not in the corresponding period in 2021.
6
With
respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $279,000 increase in Europe, a $95,000 increase
in Latin America, a $62,000 increase in Asia and a $2,000 decrease in other geographies. This growth was mainly due to growth in existing
and new markets. In addition, there was a $59,000 increase in revenue from North America due to sales in the United States related to
stents used in our C-Guardians FDA study which occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2022, but not in the corresponding period
in 2021.
Gross
Profit . For the three months ended June 30, 2022, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) increased by $169,000, or 64.4%, to
$431,000, from $262,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase in gross profit resulted from a $197,000 increase
in revenues (as mentioned above), less the associated related material and labor costs and a reduction in miscellaneous expenses of $55,000,
partially offset by a $83,000 reduction in costs of goods sold due to an inventory adjustment that occurred during the three months ended
June 30, 2021 which did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue)
increased to 28.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 25.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by the
factors mentioned above.
Research
and Development Expenses . For the three months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased by $766,000, or 59.4%,
to $2,056,000, from $1,290,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $738,000
in expenses related to the commencement of enrollment in the second half of 2021 of the C-Guardians FDA study and an increase of $28,000
in miscellaneous expenses.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses . For the three months ended June 30, 2022, selling and marketing expenses increased by $350,000, or 55.0%,
to $986,000, from $636,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in tradeshows
and travel expenses of $204,000 in light of resumed marketing activities following lifting of restrictions related to COVID-19, an increase
in salary expenses of $85,000, and increase in share-based compensation expenses of $60,000 due to the expense recognition of grants
made during the fourth quarter of 2021.
General
and Administrative Expenses . For the three months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $294,000,
or 16.6%, to $2,070,000, from $1,776,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase resulted primarily from an increase
in share-based compensation-related expenses of $147,000, mainly due to the expense recognition of grants made during the fourth quarter
of 2021 ,an increase in directors’ and officers’ liability insurance expenses of $47,000, due to increased premiums caused
by recent trends in the overall insurance industry, an increase of $75,000 in regulatory expenses mainly related to implementation of
the new European Medical Devices Regulation and an increase of $25,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Financial
Income (Expenses) . For the three months ended June 30, 2022, financial income increased by 167.2%, or $112,000, to $45,000
of financial income, from $67,000 of financial expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in financial income
primarily resulted from an increase of $69,000 in financial income related to changes in exchange rates and a
$45,000 increase in interest income from short-term bank deposits .
7
Tax
Expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, there was no change in our tax expenses as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2021.
Net
Loss . Our net loss increased by $1,129,000, or 32.2%, to $4,636,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $3,507,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $1,410,000 in operating expenses
partially offset by an increase of $169,000 in gross profit and an increase of $112,000 in financial income.
Six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021
Revenues .
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue increased by $670,000, or 32.8%, to $2,714,000, from $2,044,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2021. This increase was predominantly driven by a 34.2% increase in sales volume of CGuard EPS from $1,987,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $2,666,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This sales increase was mainly due to growth
in existing and new markets and sales in the United States related to stents used in our C-Guardians FDA study which occurred in the
three months ended June 30, 2022, but not in the corresponding period in 2021.
With
respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $289,000 increase in Europe, a $145,000 increase
in Latin America, a $93,000 increase in Asia and a $24,000 increase in other geographies. This growth was mainly due to growth in existing
and new markets. In addition, there was a $119,000 increase in revenue from North America due to sales in the United States related to
stents used in our C-Guardians FDA study which occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2022, but not in the corresponding period in
2021.
Gross
Profit . For the six months ended June 30, 2022, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) increased by 50.2%, or $185,000, to
$553,000, compared to a $368,000 for the same period in 2021. This increase in gross profit resulted from a $223,000 increase in revenues
(as mentioned above) less the associated related material and labor costs. This increase was partially offset by an increase of $38,000
in miscellaneous expenses. Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue) increased to 20.4% during the six months ended June
30, 2022 from 18.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2021, driven by the reasons mentioned above.
Research
and Development Expenses . Research and Development Expenses . For the six months ended June 30, 2022, research and development
expenses increased by 75.4%, or $1,606,000, to $3,736,000, from $2,129,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase resulted
primarily from an increase of $1,648,000 in expenses related to the commencement of enrollment in the second half of 2021 of the C-Guardians
FDA study offset, in part, by a decrease of $41,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses . For the six months ended June 30, 2022, selling and marketing expenses increased by 28.9%, or $388,000, to
$1,732,000, from $1,344,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in tradeshows
and travel expenses of $207,000 in light of resumed marketing activities following lifting of restrictions related to COVID-19, an increase
in share-based compensation expenses of $114,000 due to the expense recognition of grants made during the fourth quarter of 2021 and
an increase in salary expenses of $66,000.
General
and Administrative Expenses . For the six months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by 16.5%, or $603,000,
to $4,252,000, from $3,649,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in share-based
compensation-related expenses of $363,000, mainly due to the expense recognition of grants made during the fourth quarter of 2021 ,an
increase in directors’ and officers’ liability insurance expenses of $106,000, due to increased premiums caused by recent
trends in the overall insurance industry, an increase of $95,000 in regulatory expenses mainly related to implementation of the new European
Medical Devices Regulation, an increase in travel expenses of $91,000 in light of resumed activities following governments lifting restrictions
related to COVID-19 offset, in part, by a decrease of $52,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Financial
Income . For the six months ended June 30, 2022, financial income increased by $46,000, to $50,000 of financial income, from $4,000
of financial income during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in financial income primarily resulted from a $73,000
increase in interest income from short-term bank deposits , offset, in part, by a decrease of $18,000 in financial income related
to changes in exchange rates.
8
Tax
Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was no material change in our tax expenses as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2021.
Net
Loss . Our net loss increased by $2,367,000, or 35.1%, to $9,117,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $6,750,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $2,598,000 in operating expenses,
offset by an increase of $185,000 in gross profit.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2022, 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 CGuard™
EPS reaches 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
June 3, 2022, we entered into a Sales Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as sales agent (“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 $8,313,000
of shares of our common stock. The issuance and sale of shares by us under the program will be made pursuant to our effective “shelf”
registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. File No. 333-265409) filed with the SEC on June 3, 2022, and declared
effective on June 14, 2022. No shares have been sold under the program.
Six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021
General .
At June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,393,000 as compared to $12,004,000 as of December 31, 2021. 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.
9
For
the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in our operating activities increased by $1,074,000, or 17.4%, to $7,243,000, from
$6,169,000 during the same period in 2021. The primary reason for the increase in cash used in our operating activities was an increase
of $1,623,000 in payments for third party related expenses and for professional services and an increase of $613,000 in compensation
costs paid during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $4,012,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $4,625,000 during the
same period in 2022, offset by an increase of $1,162,000 in payments received from customers, to $2,707,000 during the three months ended
June 30, 2022 from $1,545,000 during the same period in 2021.
Cash
provided by our investing activities increased by $1,915,000 or $1,679.8%, to $1,801,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared
to cash used of $114,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary reasons for the increase in cash provided by our investing
activities is a withdrawal of $2,000,000 of short-term deposits.
Cash
used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $37,000, the cash used by financing activities during the
six months ended June 30, 2022 were due to issuance cost associated with a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the
SEC on June 3, 2022. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2021 was $35,069,000, the principal sources of which 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 $35,069,000 of aggregate net proceeds.
As
of June 30, 2022, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by a multiple of 6.3. Current assets decreased by $7,594,000 during
the period and current liabilities increased by $365,000 during the period. As a result, our working capital decreased by $7,959,000
to $24,788,000 as of June 30, 2022.
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 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, the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the
Euro and strengthening of the 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.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
Except
as set forth below, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments. As
further described in Note 6 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, during
the three months ended June 30, 2022, we extended our lease agreement for a facility in Israel until December 31, 2026 and amended
the lease to add additional space in the facility.

4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of June 30, 2022, 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 June 30, 2022.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022, 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 become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
There are currently no pending material legal proceedings, and we are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims against
us or our property that we believe will have any significant effect on our business, financial position or operating results.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Except
for the Risk Factors included in our previous filings made with the SEC and as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors
from those disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2022.
Failure to satisfy regulatory requirements of
the new European Medical Device Regulation by November 12, 2022 could prevent us from marketing CGuard EPS in Europe.
For the European Union
nations, medical devices must obtain a CE mark before they may be placed on the market. In order to obtain and maintain the CE mark,
we must comply with EU law on medical devices, which, until May 26, 2021 was governed by the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC
(“MDD”), by presenting comprehensive technical files for our products demonstrating safety and efficacy of the product
to be placed on the market and passing initial and annual quality management system audit as per ISO 13485 standard by a European
Notified Body. We have obtained ISO 13485 quality system certification and CGuard EPS that we currently distribute into the European
Union, displays the required CE mark. In order to maintain certification, we are required to pass an annual surveillance audit
conducted by Notified Body auditors. The European Union replaced the MDD with the new European Medical Device Regulation, or MDR
(MDR 2017/745). The MDR entered into force after a transitional period of three years and a one year extension of that transition
period due to the COVID-19 pandemic on May 26, 2021 and which changes several aspects of the regulatory framework in the European
Union. Manufacturers had the duration of the transition period to update their technical documentation and processes to meet the new
requirements in order to obtain a CE Mark. After May 26, 2021, medical devices can generally still be placed on the market under the
provision of the MDD until May 26, 2024; provided the CE Mark was issued prior to this date and the manufacturer continues to comply
with this directive. By May 26, 2024, all medical devices entering the EU will need to have a CE Mark under the MDR, even if they
have been on the market previously under the MDD. In our particular case, CGuard EPS can continue to be marketed under the MDD until
November 12, 2022. Specifically, the EU MDR requires changes in the clinical evidence required for medical devices, post-market
clinical follow-up evidence, annual reporting of safety information for Class III products, Unique Device Identification
(“UDI”) for all products, submission of core data elements to a European UDI database prior to placement of a device on
the market, and multiple other labeling changes. Currently we are under technical documentation review by the Notified Body auditor
which is requesting new submission of materials to meet the MDR requirements for recertification having completed the quality
management system Notified Body audit in October 2021. The Notified Body is currently experiencing chronic delays in processing MDR
audits and reviews and there is no assurance that we will be able to satisfy MDR requirements by November 12, 2022. While we are
seeking to expedite the review process, if we do not receive recertification by this time or otherwise are determined to be
non-compliant, our CE Mark used under the MDD will lapse and we will not be able to promote and sell CGuard EPS into CE Mark
European countries until we receive recertification, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
