Information
Our
Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “SCTC”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often
thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s
operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
OTCQB
securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTCQB securities
transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTCQB issuers are traditionally
smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
Holders
As
of December 31, 2020, there were 44 stockholders of record of our Common Stock and 36,756,983 shares of our Common
Stock outstanding.
Dividends
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to
increase our working capital and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Equity
Compensation Plan Information
2020
Share Incentive Plan
We
have adopted the 2020 Plan under which we may grant equity-based incentive awards to attract, motivate and retain the talent for
which we compete.
Authorized
Shares. The maximum number of ordinary shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan is equal to the sum of 9,422,440
shares, or such number as our board of directors may determine from time to time.
Administration.
Our board of directors, or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, will administer the 2020 Plan. Under the
2020 Plan, the administrator has the authority, subject to applicable law, to interpret the terms of the 2020 Plan and any award
agreements or awards granted thereunder, designate recipients of awards, determine and amend the terms of awards, including the
exercise price of an option award, the fair market value of an ordinary share, the time and vesting schedule applicable to an
award or the method of payment for an award, accelerate or amend the vesting schedule applicable to an award, prescribe the forms
of agreement for use under the 2020 Plan and take all other actions and make all other determinations necessary for the administration
of the 2020 Plan.
The
administrator also has the authority to amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2020 Plan or terminate the 2020
Plan at any time before the date of expiration of its ten year term.
Eligibility.
The 2020 Plan provides for granting awards under various tax regimes, including, without limitation, in compliance with Section
102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 5721-1961 (the “Ordinance”), and Section 3(i) of the Ordinance
and for awards granted to our United States employees or service providers, including those who are deemed to be residents of
the United States for tax purposes, Section 422 of the Code and Section 409A of the Code.
Section
102 of the Ordinance allows employees, directors and officers who are not controlling shareholders and are considered Israeli
residents to receive favorable tax treatment for compensation in the form of shares or options. Our non-employee service providers
and controlling shareholders may only be granted options under section 3(i) of the Ordinance, which does not provide for similar
tax benefits.
Grant.
All awards granted pursuant to the 2020 Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement, in a form approved, from time to time,
by the administrator in its sole discretion. The award agreement will set forth the terms and conditions of the award, including
the type of award, number of shares subject to such award, vesting schedule and conditions (including performance goals or measures)
and the exercise price, if applicable. Certain awards under the 2020 Plan may constitute or provide for a deferral of compensation,
subject to Section 409A of the Code, which may impose additional requirements on the terms and conditions of such awards.
Each
award will expire seven years from the date of the grant thereof, unless such shorter term of expiration is otherwise designated
by the administrator.
Awards.
The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options),
shares of common stock, restricted shares, restricted share units and other share-based awards.
Options
granted under the 2020 Plan to our employees who are U.S. residents may qualify as “incentive stock options” within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, or may be non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of a stock option may not be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the date of grant (or 110% in the case of ISOs granted to certain
significant stockholders).
Exercise.
An award under the 2020 Plan may be exercised by providing the company with a written or electronic notice of exercise and
full payment of the exercise price for such shares underlying the award, if applicable, in such form and method as may be determined
by the administrator and permitted by applicable law. An award may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. With regard to
tax withholding, exercise price and purchase price obligations arising in connection with awards under the 2020 Plan, the administrator
may, in its discretion, accept cash, provide for net withholding of shares in a cashless exercise mechanism or direct a securities
broker to sell shares and deliver all or a part of the proceeds to the Company or the trustee.
20
Transferability.
Other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided under the 2020 Plan, neither the options
nor any right in connection with such options are assignable or transferable.
Termination
of Employment. In the event of termination of a grantee’s employment or service with the company or any of its affiliates,
all vested and exercisable awards held by such grantee as of the date of termination may be exercised within three months after
such date of termination, unless otherwise determined by the administrator. After such three month period, all such unexercised
awards will terminate and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
In
the event of termination of a grantee’s employment or service with the company or any of its affiliates due to such grantee’s
death, permanent disability or retirement, all vested and exercisable awards held by such grantee as of the date of termination
may be exercised by the grantee or the grantee’s legal guardian, estate, or by a person who acquired the right to exercise
the award by bequest or inheritance, as applicable, within twelve months after such date of termination, unless otherwise provided
by the administrator. Any awards which are unvested as of the date of such termination or which are vested but not then exercised
within the twelve month period following such date, will terminate and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available
for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, if a grantee’s employment or services with the company or any of its affiliates is terminated for
“cause” (as defined in the 2020 Plan), all outstanding awards held by such grantee (whether vested or unvested) will
terminate on the date of such termination and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available for issuance under the
2020 Plan.
Transactions.
In the event of a share split, reverse share split, share dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of our
shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares effected without receipt of consideration by the company
(but not including the conversion of any convertible securities of the company), the administrator in its sole discretion shall
make an appropriate adjustment in the number of shares related to each outstanding award and to the number of shares reserved
for issuance under the 2020 Plan, to the class and kind of shares subject to the 2020 Plan, as well as the exercise price per
share of each outstanding award, as applicable, the terms and conditions concerning vesting and exercisability and the term and
duration of outstanding awards, or any other terms that the administrator adjusts in its discretion, or the type or class of security,
asset or right underlying the award (which need not be only that of the Company, and may be that of the surviving corporation
or any affiliate thereof or such other entity party to any of the above transactions); provided that any fractional shares resulting
from such adjustment shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share unless otherwise determined by the administrator. In the
event of a distribution of a cash dividend to all shareholders, the administrator may determine, without the consent of any holder
of an award, that the exercise price of an outstanding and unexercised award shall be reduced by an amount equal to the per share
gross dividend amount distributed by the Company, subject to applicable law.
In
the event of a merger or consolidation of our company, or a sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s shares or
assets or other transaction having a similar effect on the Company, or change in the composition of the board of directors, or
liquidation or dissolution, or such other transaction or circumstances that the board of directors determines to be a relevant
transaction, then without the consent of the grantee, the administrator may but is not required to (i) cause any outstanding award
to be assumed or substituted by such successor corporation, or (ii) regardless of whether or not the successor corporation assumes
or substitutes the award (a) provide the grantee with the option to exercise the award as to all or part of the shares, and may
provide for an acceleration of vesting of unvested awards, or (b) cancel the award and pay in cash, shares of the company, the
acquirer or other corporation which is a party to such transaction or other property as determined by the administrator as fair
in the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator may upon such event amend, modify or terminate the terms
of any award as it shall deem, in good faith, appropriate.

7. management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information,
the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Forward-looking
Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements. Our actual results may
differ materially from those discussed below.
Overview
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 22, 2013 under the name Intellisense Solutions Inc. We were initially
engaged in the business of developing web portals to allow companies and individuals to engage in the purchase and sale of vegetarian
food products over the Internet. However, were not able to execute our original business plan, develop significant operations
or achieve commercial sales.
On
December 30, 2019, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of ScoutCam Ltd. (the “Closing Date”).
Following this transaction, we integrated and fully adopted ScoutCam Ltd.’s business into our Company as our primary business
activity. On December 31, 2019, we changed our name to ScoutCam Inc.
Through
ScoutCam Ltd., we are engaged in the development, production and marketing of innovative miniaturized imaging equipment, or our
micro ScoutCam™ portfolio, for use in medical procedures as well as various industrial applications. We derive a substantial
portion of our revenue from applications of our micro ScoutCam™ portfolio within the medical and industrial fields. We have
recently begun examining additional applications for our micro ScoutCam™ portfolio outside of the medical device industry,
including in, among others, the defense, aerospace, automotive, and industrial non-destructing-testing industries. We plan to
further expand the activity in these non-medical spaces.
Going
Concern
The
financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes
to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date our accompanying consolidated financial statements are
issued. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report for the
years ended December 31, 2020, regarding concerns about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year
after the date our accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued.
Impact
of COVID-19 Pandemic
The
COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on global markets and the global economy, including countries in which the Company
operates. As the extent of the impact on the global economy remains unclear, the Company anticipates that it will have a continuing
impact on global economies in the near and long-term future. In light of the below mentioned factors, the COVID-19 pandemic had
and most likely will continue to have a material effect on the Company’s operations, and the extent to which the COVID-19
pandemic will impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments. In particular, the continued spread of
COVID-19 globally had and most likely will continue to have material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and workforce,
including its manufacturing activities, product sales, as well as its ability to continue to raise capital. Travel restrictions
had and most likely will continue to have a material adverse impact on our sales and marketing and research and development efforts.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements,
which we have prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates
on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While
our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this
Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical for fully understanding and evaluating our
financial condition and results of operations.
22
Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
We
have prepared the accompanying financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the years
ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future years.
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
accompanying comparative consolidated financial statements include the historical accounts of ScoutCam as a “Carve-out Business”,
a division of Medigus. Throughout the comparative periods included in these Financial Statements, the Carve-out Business operated
as part of Medigus. Separate financial statements have not historically been prepared for the Carve-out Business.
These
carve-out comparative financial statements have been prepared on a standalone basis and are derived from Medigus’s consolidated
financial statements and accounting records. The carve-out comparative financial statements reflect ScoutCam’s financial
position, results of operations, changes in net parent deficit and cash flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The
financial position, results of operations, changes in net parent deficit, and cash flows of the Carve-out Business may not be
indicative of its results had it been a separate stand-alone entity during the comparative periods presented.
The
comparative carve-out financial statements of the Company include expenses which were allocated from Medigus for certain functions,
including general corporate expenses related to corporate strategy, procurement, Information Technology (IT), Human Resources
(HR) and legal. These allocation have been made on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on
the basis of headcount. Management believes the expense allocation methodology and results are reasonable and consistently applied
for all comparative periods presented. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have
been incurred by an independent company or of the costs to be incurred in the future.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates on an
ongoing basis its assumptions, including those related to contingencies, deferred taxes, inventory impairment, as well as in estimates
used in applying the revenue recognition policy. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
Measurement
Commencing
on January 1, 2018, the Company’s revenues are measured according to the ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
(“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are measured according to the amount of consideration that ScoutCam expects to
be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third
parties, such as sales taxes. Revenues are presented net of VAT.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control over promised goods or services. For each performance obligation ScoutCam
determines at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time or satisfies the performance obligation
at a point in time.
Performance
obligations are satisfied over time if one of the following criteria is met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes
the benefits provided by ScoutCam’s performance; (b) ScoutCam’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the
customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (c) ScoutCam’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative
use to ScoutCam and ScoutCam has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
If
a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, a Company satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time.
The
transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”)
basis and revenue is recognized for each performance obligation when control has passed. In most cases, ScoutCam is able to establish
SSP based on the observable prices of services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers and for products
based on ScoutCam’s best estimates of the price at which ScoutCam would have sold the product regularly on a stand-alone
basis. ScoutCam reassesses the SSP on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change.
23
Product
Revenue
Revenues
from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of Company’s product, typically upon shipment to the
customer. Sales taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded
from revenues.
Service
Revenue
The Company also
generates revenues from development services. Revenue from development services is recognized over the period of the applicable
service contract. To the extent development services are not distinct from the performance obligation relating to the subsequent
mass production phase of the prototype under development, revenue from these services is deferred until commencement of the production
phase of the project.
There are no
long-term payment terms or significant financing components of the Company’s contracts.
The Company’s
contract payment terms for product and services vary by customer. The Company assesses collectibility based on several factors,
including collection history.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts receivable
are presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates
the collectibility of its accounts receivable balances and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly.
When revenue
recognition criteria are not met for a sale transaction that has been billed, the Company does not recognize deferred revenues
or the related account receivable.

Comparison
of the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and the Year Ended December 31, 2019
Overview
The
Company’s primary business activity during 2020 was the completion of R&D and the transition to the production stage
with respect to a contract with a Fortune 500 Multinational Healthcare Corporation, while expanding the R&D team to enable
additional projects in parallel. The main effect of this activity was the increase in the number of employees from 19 at the end
of 2019 to 27 at the end of 2020 to enable the Company to manage the anticipated increased workload.
Other
major activities in 2020 were the following:
-
Expanding
marketing activities, including the recruitment of a Director of Business Development in the US, and launching a multi-platform
digital marketing campaign.
-
Extensive
activity around the Company’s IP, including submissions of new patent applications as well as maintenance, defense,
and commercialization efforts of existing patents.
-
On
December 30, 2019, upon the completion of the Exchange Agreement (as defined herein), the Company transitioned from
a shell company to an operating company. This turn led to, among other, an increase in professional services (legal
counsels, accountants, SOX consultants, etc.), fees and related costs in connection with ScoutCam Inc.’s post-Closing
Date Board of Directors, increases in D&O insurance, etc.
-
Increase
in the operation expenses in order to improve the current Company’s R&D capabilities.
-
Investment
in capital expenses to provide the necessary facilities, IT, and lab tools for the newly recruited employees and to upgrade
the Company’s production and quality control capabilities.
The
following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, together with the changes

Revenues
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, we generated revenues of $491,000, an increase of $182,000 or 59%, from 2019 revenues.
The
increase in revenues was primarily due to the sale of products to A.M. Surgical (see Item 1). Total revenues recorded from A.M.
Surgical during 2020 amounted to approximately $383,000. Total revenues we recorded from A.M. Surgical during 2019 amounted
to approximately $85,000. This increase was partially offset by decrease in revenues to other customers due to:
a)
the
COVID-19 pandemic impact on global markets and the global economy, including countries and industries in which the Company
operates;
b)
most
of the revenues for year ended December 31, 2019 were derived from sales of miniature camera and related equipment to occasional
customers. The Company’s management has decided to reduce sales to occasional customers and focus on larger projects.
Our current business model is that of a B2B approach, in which we seek to identify target businesses interested in integrating
our micro ScoutCam™ technology, or commissioning individual projects using our technology.
Remaining
Performance Obligations (“RPO”) represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue
and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of December 31, 2020, the total RPO amounted to $2.9
million, which we expect to recognize over the expected manufacturing term
of the product under development.
25
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $994,000, an increase of $452,000, or 83%, compared
to cost of revenues of $542,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The
increase in cost of revenues was due to:
a)
Increase
in revenues as described above;
b)
changes
in products and services mix; and
c)
increase in payroll expenses as a result of hiring
additional employees.
Gross
Loss
Gross
loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $503,000, an increase of $270,000 compared to a gross loss of $233,000
for the year ended December 31, 2019. Gross loss is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, sales
volume, fluctuations in manufacturing costs, labor costs, and pricing strategies.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020, were $725,000, an increase of $451,000, or 165%, compared to $274,000
for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $231,000 increase in payroll expenses and a $205,000
increase in materials and subcontractors. The increase in payroll expenses resulted from an increase in share - based compensation
expenses (see note 9 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020) and hiring additional employees. The
increase in materials and subcontractors was primarily due to an increase in research and development activities as described under “Overview”.
Sales
and Marketing Expenses
Sales
and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020, were $443,000, an increase of $260,000, or 142%, compared to $183,000
for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in marketing activities as described under
“Overview”.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020, were $3,035,000, an increase of $1,918,000, or 172%, compared to $1,117,000
for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $767,000 increase in payroll expenses, as a result of
an increase in share - based compensation expenses (see note 9 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020)
and hiring additional employees and a $826,000 increase in professional services. The increase in professional services was primarily
due to an increase in share - based compensation expenses, as result from the incorporation of the Subsidiary as an independent
company and in connection with the execution of that certain securities exchange agreement involving the Subsidiary and increase
in patent expenses as described under “Overview”.
Operating
loss
We
incurred an operating loss of $4,706,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $2,899,000, or 160%,
compared to operating loss of $1,807,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in operating results was due to
an increase of $270,000 in gross loss, an increase of $451,000 in research and development expenses, an increase of $260,000
in sales and marketing expenses and increase of $1,918,000 in administrative and general expenses.
26
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
2020, we generated liquidity primarily from fund raising and warrant exercises as described at note 9 to our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
During
2020, we received proceeds from fund raising in the aggregate approximate amount of $2.9 million, net of issuance expenses and
$1.7 million from warrants exercise.
As
of December 31, 2020, our total assets were $5,895,000. As of December 31, 2019, our total assets were $4,757,000. The
increase of assets was mainly due to an increase of contract fulfillment assets, increase of property and equipment and
increase of other current assets. As of December 31, 2020, our total liabilities were $1,931,000. As of December 31, 2019,
our total liabilities were $2,235,000. The decrease of liabilities was mainly due to a decrease of loan from Parent Company,
decrease of other current expenses, partially offset by increase of contract liabilities and other accrued compensation
expenses.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred losses of $4,667,000 and negative cash flow from operating activities of
approximately $4,187,000. Based on the projected cash flows, our management is of the opinion that without further fundraising
it will not have sufficient resources to enable it to continue its operating activities, including the development, manufacturing
and marketing of its products for a period of at least 12 months from the financial statements issuance date. As a result, there
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s
plans include continuing commercialization of our products and securing sufficient financing through the sale of additional equity
securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships and others. There are no assurances, however, that we will be
successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for its operations. If we are unsuccessful in commercializing its products
and securing sufficient financing, it may need to reduce activities, curtail or even cease operations.

Investing
Activities
For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, net cash flows used in investing activities was $276,000, due primarily to purchase of
property and equipment.
Financing
Activities
For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, net cash flows provided by financing activities was $4,506,000, due primarily to proceeds
from issuance of shares and warrants of approximately $2,858,000 and proceeds from exercise from warrants of approximately $1,729,000.
Comparison
of the Year Ended December 31, 2019 and the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Overview
ScoutCam
Ltd. was formed in Israel on January 3, 2019, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Medigus, and commenced operations on March 1, 2019.
ScoutCam was incorporated as part of the Reorganization of Medigus, which was designed to distinguish ScoutCam’s miniaturized
imaging business, or the micro ScoutCam ™ portfolio, from Medigus’s other operations and to enable Medigus
to form a separate business unit with dedicated resources focused on the promotion of such technology. In December 2019, Medigus
and ScoutCam consummated an Amended and Restated Asset Transfer Agreement, which transferred and assigned certain assets and intellectual
property rights related to its miniaturized imaging business.
On
March 1, 2019, 12 employees moved from Medigus to ScoutCam. Prior to moving to ScoutCam, the salary costs of those employees were
split among all of Medigus’s activities (including the miniaturized imaging business activity). Hence, in the 2018 data
provided below, most of the salary costs of these employees are not included. The vast majority of these employees were from the
Production and R&D departments. Therefore, their transfer caused large changes in the data of these two line items.
The
following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, together with the changes
in those items in dollars and as a percentage:

The
increase in revenues from miniature camera and related equipment was primarily due to an overall increase in the sales of the
Company’s products to occasional customers.
The
decrease in revenues from services was primarily due to:
(i)
during
the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded revenues for development services provided to a customer in the amount of approximately
$130,000 (see ‘Customer A’ in note 11 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020).
During year ended December 31, 2019 we recorded revenues for development services provided to this customer in the amount
of approximately $85,000; and
(ii)
during
the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded revenues for development services provided to a customer in the amount of approximately
$87,000 (see ‘Customer B’ in note 11 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020).
We did not receive any revenue from development services from this customer during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $542,000, an increase of $321,000, or 145%, compared to cost of revenues
of $221,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The
increase in cost of revenues was due to:
a)
changes
in products and services mix; and
b)
increase
in payroll expenses and allocation of other expenses, as result of the Reorganization (as described under “Overview”)
and allocating employees salaries from research and development line item to the cost of revenues line item due to the nature
of their current work.
Gross
Profit (Loss)
Gross
loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $233,000, a decrease of $403,000 compared to a gross profit of $170,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to changes in profitability margins of the product and services mix
and due to an increase in payroll expenses as described above.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $274,000, an increase of $91,000, or 50%, compared to $183,000
for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increase in payroll expenses, as result of the Reorganization.
In 2018, the salary cost of R&D employees were split among all of Medigus’s activities. Hence, in the 2018 data provided
above, most of the salary costs of these employees are not included.
Sales
and Marketing Expenses
Sales
and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $183,000, a decrease of $87,000, or 32%, compared to $270,000
for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in payroll expenses, due to the fact that one
of the employees that was classified under sales and marketing in 2018 became the CEO in 2019 and his payroll expenses were not
classified under S&M in 2019.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $1,117,000, an increase of $877,000, or 365%, compared
to $240,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses, as result
of the Reorganization (as described under “Overview”) and an increase in professional services. The increase in professional
services is due to establishing ScoutCam Ltd. as an independent company and due to the acquisition of ScoutCam Ltd.
Operating
loss
We
incurred an operating loss of $1,807,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $1,284,000, or 246%, compared to
operating loss of $523,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in operating results was due to an increase of $403,000
in gross loss, an increase of $91,000 in research and development expenses, and increase of $877,000 in administrative and general
expenses partially offset by an $87,000 decrease in sales and marketing expenses.
29
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
generated liquidity primarily from Medigus and from fund raising as described at note 9 to our financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2020.
On
June 3, 2019, Medigus executed a capital contribution into ScoutCam of an aggregate amount of US$720,000.
On
August 27, 2019, Medigus provided ScoutCam with a line of credit in the aggregate amount of US$500,000, and, in exchange, ScoutCam
granted Medigus a capital note that bears an annual interest rate of 4%. The repayment of the credit line amount shall be spread
over one year in monthly payments beginning on the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, ScoutCam has withdrawn the entire amount
of the line of credit.
On
December 30, 2019, the Company allotted in a private issuance, a total of 3,413,312 units at the price of USD $0.968 per
unit. Each unit was comprised of two shares of Common Stock, one Warrant A (defined below) and two Warrants B (defined below).
The immediate proceeds (gross) from the issuance of the units amounted to approximately USD 3.3 million. Each Warrant A is exercisable
into one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of USD 0.595 per share during the 12 month period following the allotment.
Each Warrant B is exercisable into one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of USD 0.893 per share during the 18 month period
following the allotment. In addition, a consultant of the Company, Shrem Zilberman Group Ltd. (the “Consultant”) will
be entitled to receive the amount representing 3% of any exercise price of each Warrant A or Warrant B that may be exercised in
the future. In the event the total proceeds received as a result of exercise of Warrants A and B will be less than $2 million
at the time of their expiration, the Consultant will be required to invest $250,000 in the Company.
As
of December 31, 2019, our total assets were $4,757,000. As of December 31, 2018, our total assets were $516,000. The increase
of assets was mainly due to an increase of cash and cash equivalents as a result of the private issuance as described above and
increase of inventory. As of December 31, 2019, our total liabilities were $2,235,000. As of December 31, 2018, our total liabilities
were $634,000. The increase of liabilities was mainly due to an increase of contract liabilities, a loan from Medigus, accrued
compensation expenses and other accrued expenses.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred losses of $1,829,000 and negative cash flow from operating activities
of approximately $1,799,000. Based on the projected cash flows, the Company’s Management is of the opinion that without
further fundraising it will not have sufficient resources to enable it to continue its operating activities, including the development,
manufacturing and marketing of its products for a period of at least 12 months from the financial statements issuance date. As
a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s
plans include continuing commercialization of Company’s products and securing sufficient financing through the sale of additional
equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships and others. There are no assurances, however, that the
Company will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for its operations. If the Company is unsuccessful in commercializing
its products and securing sufficient financing, it may need to reduce activities, curtail or even cease operations.

For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net cash flows used in operating activities was $1,799,000, compared to net cash flows
used in operating activities of $454,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $1,345,000. The change was
mainly due to an increase in net loss, increase in inventory, and partially offset by increase in contract liability, increase
in accrued compensation expenses and increase in other current expenses.
30
Investing
Activities
For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net cash flows used in investing activities was $55,000, compared to net cash flows provided
in investing activities of $4,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The change was mainly due to purchase of property
and equipment during 2019.
Financing
Activities
For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net cash flows provided by financing activities was $5,104,000, compared to net cash
flows provided by financing activities of $450,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The change between the two periods
is due to the fact that in 2019 we have transfer of assets to Medigus, capital contribution from Medigus, loan from Medigus and
cash acquired in connection with the reverse merger.

believe that it will require additional financing in order to provide the capital we need in order to hit our growth targets.
