Overview
We
are a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of our proprietary MicroNet™ stent platform for
the treatment of carotid artery disease and other vascular disease. A stent is an expandable “scaffold-like” device, usually
constructed of a metallic material, that is inserted into the lumen of the artery to create patency and revascularization of blood flow.
MicroNet, a micron mesh sleeve, is attached over a stent to provide embolic protection both during and after stenting procedures.
Our
CGuard™ carotid embolic prevention system (“CGuard EPS”) combines MicroNet and a unique self-expandable nitinol stent
in a single device for use in carotid artery revascularization. Our CGuard EPS originally received CE mark approval under Medical Device
Directive 93/42/EEC (“MDD”) in the European Union (“EU”) in March 2013 and was fully launched in Europe in September
2015. Subsequently, we launched CGuard EPS in over 30 countries and on February 3, 2021, we executed a distribution agreement with Chinese
partners for the purpose of expanding our presence in the Asian markets. In January 2024, we received CE mark recertification under the
EU’s Medical Device Regulation regulatory framework. Currently, we are seeking strategic partners for a potential launch of CGuard
EPS in Japan and other Asian countries.

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 (“CAS”). The study, which completed enrollment in June 2023, enrolled 316
patients across 24 trial sites in the U.S. and Europe and from April 2023 included deployment of the CGuard stent using CGuard Prime,
our next generation CAS stent platform.
The
primary endpoint was a composite of: (1) incidence of major adverse events including Death (all-cause mortality), any Stroke, and Myocardial
Infarction (DSMI) through 30-days post index procedure, or (2) ipsilateral stroke from day 31 to day 365 post-procedure. All events were
adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee. The composite index was compared to a performance goal based on the observed
rate of the two components of the primary endpoint from previous pivotal stent trials which are considered industry standard. The performance
goal was considered met if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval calculated from the observed primary endpoint rate
is < 11.6% and the p-value is less than 0.025.
In
November 2023, we announced positive 30-day follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial in which stenting with the CGuard Carotid Stent
System in patients with carotid artery stenosis and at high risk for carotid endarterectomy had a DSMI rate of 0.95%, measured from the
date of the procedure through 30 days follow-up post-procedure. We anticipate reporting primary endpoint results from the C-GUARDIANS
trial at the end of May 2024 that may support the submission of a premarket approval, or PMA, application in the third quarter of 2024
with a view to potential FDA approval of the CGuard Prime stent system in the first half of 2025.
On
May 28, 2024, we announced positive one-year follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial in which stenting with the CGuard Carotid Stent
System in patients with carotid artery stenosis and at high risk for carotid endarterectomy had a 30-day DSMI and Ipsilateral stroke
between 31 and 365 days rate of 1.95% measured from procedure to 1-year follow-up.
We
continue to invest in current and future potential new indications, products and manufacturing enhancements for CGuard that are expected
to reduce cost of goods and/or provide the best-in-class performing delivery systems, such as CGuard Prime. In furtherance of our strategy
that focuses on establishing the CGuard Carotid Stent System as a viable alternative to vascular surgery, we are developing a new transcarotid
artery revascularization (TCAR) system, SwitchGuard™ neuroprotection system (“SwitchGuard NPS”), for transcarotid access
and neuro protection. In addition, we intend to explore new indications for CGuard to leverage the advantages of stent design and mesh
protection, well suited in labels such as acute stroke with tandem lesions.
We
consider our current addressable market for our CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS to be both symptomatic and asymptomatic
individuals with diagnosed high-grade carotid artery stenosis 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, we estimate that the addressable market
for CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS is approximately $1.3 billion (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 and internal estimates). According to this same report and internal estimates, assuming full penetration of treatment for all
individuals diagnosed with high-grade carotid artery stenosis, we estimate the total available market for CGuard Carotid Stent System
and SwitchGuard NPS to be approximately $9.3 billion, which may grow over time if expanded treatment options such as CGuard Carotid Stent
System and SwitchGuard NPS lead to increased patient screening for carotid artery disease.
In
October 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (“CMS”) issued its final National Coverage Determination (“NCD”),
expanding coverage of CAS to include both asymptomatic and standard risk patients, significantly expanding the U.S. CAS addressable market.
Our
mission is to offer a comprehensive set of delivery solutions (TCAR and Transfemoral) in order to deliver best in class results through
patient outcomes by way of stent performance with CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS.
We
were organized in the State of Delaware on February 29, 2008.

Recent
Developments
One
Year Results from the U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial
On
May 28, 2024, we announced positive one-year follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial of the CGuard™ Carotid Stent Systemin
which stenting with the CGuard Carotid Stent System in patients with carotid artery stenosis and at high risk for carotid endarterectomy
had a 30-day DSMI and Ipsilateral stroke between 31 and 365 days rate of 1.95%, measured from procedure to 1-year follow-up.
Exercise
of Series H Warrant
Following
the announcement of the one year follow up study results from the Company’s C-GUARDIANS trial, Series H warrants to purchase 12,914,086
shares of common stock were exercised in full into 292,996 of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 12,621,090 shares
of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Series H Warrants were $16.9 million after deducting placement
agent fees. The Series H warrants, each exercisable at $1.3827 per common share and $1.3826 per pre-funded warrant, were issued as part
of the private placement financing that the Company consummated on May 15, 2023.
Israel-Hamas
War
In
October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian
and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s
border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping
of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against
these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. In addition, since the commencement
of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization)
and southern border (with the Houthi movement in Yemen). It is possible that hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon will escalate, and
that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank as well as other hostile countries
will join the hostilities. In addition, Iran recently launched a direct attack on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and
has threatened to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a
strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and
various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. We cannot currently
predict the intensity or duration of Israel’s war against Hamas, nor can we predict how this war will ultimately affect our business
and operations or Israel’s economy in general.
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, 2023. There have not been any material changes
to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
The
currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”).
Results
of Operations
Three
months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023
Revenues .
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue increased by $90,000, or 5.4%, to $1,739,000, from $1,649,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2023. This increase was predominantly driven by growth in existing and new markets, partially offset by a reduction in
clinical trial revenue driven by the conclusion of C-GUARDIANS enrollment in June 2023.
With
respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $303,000 increase in Europe for reasons mentioned
in the paragraph above. This increase was offset by a $87,000 decrease in Latin America a $80,000 decrease in Asia due to timing of shipment
of orders, and a $45,000 decrease in the United States as we completed in June 2023 the enrollment of all patients in our C-Guardians
IDE clinical trial.
Gross
Profit . For the three months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) decreased by $160,000, or 32.6%, to
$331,000, from $491,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in gross profit resulted from a $237,000 increase
in material and labor costs mainly due to higher sales volume as well as compensation expense for new and current employees, additional
space to build capacity for anticipated increased volume requirements and additional training expenses offset by an increase of the revenues
of $90,000 (see above), and an increase $13,000 in miscellaneous expense. Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue) decreased
to 19.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, from 29.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by the factors mentioned
above.
Research
and Development Expenses . For the three months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses increased by $1,408,000, or
70.6%, to $3,401,000, from $1,993,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase
in compensation expenses of $741,000, mainly due to an increase of share-based compensation-related expenses due to the expense recognition
of grants made to employees and consultants since the second quarter of 2023 and due to the hiring of the Executive Vice President and
General Manager of North America in connection with our expansion plans in the United States, an increase of $427,000 of SwitchGuard
NPS development and regulatory approval process, an increase of $82,000 related to the establishment of operations in the United States,
an increase of $77,000 related to an early feasibility study of CGuard Prime for the treatment of acute stroke patients with tandem lesions
and an increase of $81,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses . For the three months ended June 30, 2024, selling and marketing expenses increased by $553,000, or 62.0%,
to $1,445,000, from $892,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in compensation
expenses of $469,000 and an increase of $84,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
6
General
and Administrative Expenses . For the three months ended June 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $824,000,
or 28.2%, to $3,745,000, from $2,921,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase
in compensation expenses of $993,000, mainly due to an increase of share-based compensation-related expenses due to the expense recognition
of grants made during the second quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, offset by a decrease of $92,000 in legal expenses and
a $77,000 in miscellaneous expenses.
Financial
Income . For the three months ended June 30, 2024, financial income increased by $113,000 or 47.5%, to $351,000, from $238,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in financial income primarily resulted from a $123,000 increase in interest income
from investment in marketable securities, money market funds and short-term bank deposits.
Tax
Expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was no material change in our tax expenses as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2023.
Net
Loss . Our net loss increased by $2,832,000, or 55.8%, to $7,909,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $5,077,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $2,785,000 in operating expenses.

ended June 30, 2023. This sales increase was mainly due to growth in existing and new markets, partially offset by a reduction in clinical
trial revenue driven by the conclusion of C-GUARDIANS enrollment in June 2023.
With
respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $472,000 increase in Europe, a $28,000 increase
in Latin America and a $8,000 increase in other territories for reasons mentioned above. This increase was offset by a $104,000 decrease
in the United States as we completed in June 2023 the enrollment of all patients in our C-Guardians IDE clinical trial, a $30,000 decrease
in Asia and a $12,000 decrease in other territories.

the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $5,737,000 in operating expenses
and decrease of $241,000 in gross profit, offset by an increase of $370,000 in financial income.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2024, 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.
Our
plans include continued commercialization of our products and raising capital through sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital
inflows from strategic partnerships. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing
needed for our operations. If we are unsuccessful in commercializing our products or raising capital, we may need to reduce activities,
curtail or cease operations.
In
May 2023, we closed a private placement offering of 10,266,270 shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) of our common stock,
pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 15,561,894 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
up to an aggregate of 51,656,328 shares of common stock, consisting of Series H warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common
stock (the “Series H Warrants”), Series I warrants to purchase up to 12,914,078 shares of common stock (the “Series
I Warrants”), Series J warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of Common Stock (the “Series J Warrants”) and Series
K warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common stock (the “Series K Warrants” and together with the Series H Warrants,
Series I Warrants and Series J Warrants, the “Warrants”), at an offering price of $1.6327 per Private Placement Share and
associated Warrants and an offering price of $1.6326 per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Warrants that resulted in aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $42.2 million, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by
us. If the Warrants issued in the private placement offering are exercised in cash in full this would result in an additional $71.4 million
of gross proceeds.
During
June 2024, Series H warrants to purchase 12,914,086 shares of common stock were exercised in full into 292,996 of shares of common stock
and pre-funded warrants to purchase 12,621,090 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Series
H Warrants were $16.9 million after deducting placement agent fees.
Six
months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the Six months ended June 30, 2023
General .
At June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $28,385,000 and marketable securities of $18,778,000 as compared to cash and cash
equivalents of $9,640,000 and marketable securities of $29,383,000 as of December 31, 2023. 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in our operating activities increased by $1,262,000, or 15.5%, to $9,418,000, from
$8,156,000 during the same period in 2023. The primary reason for the increase in cash used in our operating activities was an increase
of $1,757,000 in payments for third party related expenses and for professional services, an increase of $874,000 in compensation costs
paid during the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $5,312,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $6,186,000, offset in part by
an increase of $1,254,000 in payments received from customers, and an increase of $115,000 in interest income received from money market
funds and marketable securities.
Cash
provided in our investing activities was $10,323,000 during the Six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to cash used of $22,442,000
during the Six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary reason for the increase in cash provided by our investing activities is proceeds
from matured marketable securities of $11,040,000, net of investment in marketable securities in the Six months ended June 30, 2024,
compared to an investment in marketable securities of $28,838,000, offset by a withdrawal from short-term bank deposits, net of investment
in short-term deposits, of $6,500,000 in the Six months ended June 30, 2023 and by an increase of $600,000 in payments made for purchase
of property, plant and equipment during the Six months ended June 30, 2024.
8
Cash
provided by financing activities for the six months June 30, 2024, was $17,854,000. The source of the cash provided by financing activities
during the six months ended June 30, 2024, were the proceeds from exercise of Series H warrants. Cash provided by financing activities
for the six months June 30, 2023, was $37,534,000. The source of the cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2023, were the proceeds from the Private Placement Offering in May 2023 that resulted in approximately $37,534,000 of aggregate
net proceeds.
As
of June 30, 2024, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by a multiple of 7.4. Current assets increased by $7,684,000 during
the period and current liabilities increased by $945,000 during the period. As a result, our working capital increased by $6,739,000
to $44,878,000 as of June 30, 2024.
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. 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.
