Risk Factors.
−Removed: In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you
−Removed: should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in Part I, “Item 1A.
−Removed: Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report, which
−Removed: could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
−Removed: Failure to meet Nasdaq’s
−Removed: continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our common shares, negatively impact the price of our common shares and
−Removed: negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2024, our shareholders’ deficit totaled $356.
−Removed: The minimum shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)
−Removed: requires listed companies to maintain shareholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million.
−Removed: As a result, we do not believe we are in compliance
−Removed: with the shareholders’ equity standard and anticipate receiving a deficiency letter from Nasdaq.
−Removed: Upon receipt of such deficiency
−Removed: letter, we will have a period of time to resolve such deficiency and, if necessary, will have the opportunity to present a plan to regain
−Removed: There can be no assurance
−Removed: that Nasdaq will accept our plan to regain compliance or that we will meet the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement during
−Removed: any compliance period, if one is provided to us.
−Removed: If our common shares are de-listed from Nasdaq, it will have material negative impact
−Removed: on the actual and potential liquidity of our securities, as well as material negative impact on our ability to raise future capital.
−Removed: If, for any reason, Nasdaq
−Removed: should delist our common shares from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange
−Removed: or take action to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, a reduction in some or all of the following
−Removed: may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders:
−Removed: liquidity of our common shares;
−Removed: market price of our common shares;
−Removed: ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;
−Removed: number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our common shares;
−Removed: number of investors in general that will consider investing in our common shares;
−Removed: number of market makers in our Common Shares;
−Removed: availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common shares;
−Removed: number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common shares.
−Removed: We conduct our operations
−Removed: Conditions in Israel, including the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations
−Removed: from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
−Removed: Our offices are located in
−Removed: Haifa, Israel, thus, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business.
−Removed: On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists
−Removed: infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets.
−Removed: launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip
−Removed: and in other areas within the State of Israel.
−Removed: Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and
−Removed: the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for active duty.
−Removed: At the same time, and because of the war declaration against Hamas,
−Removed: the clash between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has escalated to an armed conflict and there is a possibility that it will turn into
−Removed: a greater regional conflict in the future.
−Removed: As of today, there is no material
−Removed: impact on the Company’s operations.
−Removed: According to the recent guidelines of the Israeli government, the Company’s offices are
−Removed: open and functioning as usual.
−Removed: However, if the war will escalate and expand further to the Northern border with Lebanon, and the Israeli
−Removed: government will impose additional restrictions on movement and travel, our management and employees’ ability to effectively perform
−Removed: their daily tasks might be temporarily disrupted, which may result in delays in some of our projects.
−Removed: The Company currently has
−Removed: the supply of raw materials needed for its regular operations.
−Removed: While there may be some possible delays in supply, those are currently
−Removed: not anticipated to be material to the Company’s operations.
−Removed: However, if the war continues for a significant amount of time, this
−Removed: situation may change.
−Removed: Any hostilities involving
−Removed: Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region, or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport
−Removed: between Israel and its trading partners could make it more difficult for us to raise capital, if needed in the future, and adversely affect
−Removed: our operations and results of operations and the market price of our common shares.
−Removed: In addition, to the extent the IIA no longer makes
−Removed: grants similar to those we have received in the past, it could adversely affect our financial results.
−Removed: Our insurance does not cover
−Removed: damage or losses that may occur as a result of the current war by Israel against Hamas.
−Removed: Although the Israeli government is currently committed
−Removed: to covering the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this
−Removed: government coverage will be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred.
−Removed: Any losses or
−Removed: damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
−Removed: Further, many Israeli citizens
−Removed: are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases, more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of
−Removed: 40 (or older for certain reservists) and, in the event of an escalated military conflict, may be called to active duty.
−Removed: In response to
−Removed: the series of attacks on civilian and military targets in October 2023, there have been significant call-ups of military reservists.
−Removed: the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, three of our employees in military service have been called up.
−Removed: However, if there will be call-ups
−Removed: for reservists in our Company, our operations could be disrupted by such call-ups.
−Removed: It is currently not possible
−Removed: to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business, operations and financial condition.
−Removed: conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt our business and operations, and adversely affect our ability to raise
−Removed: additional funds or sell our securities, among other impacts.

+Added: intensity and duration of Israel’s current war is difficult to predict, as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s
+Added: business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general.
+Added: These events may be intertwined with wider macroeconomic indications
+Added: of a deterioration of Israel’s economic standing, for instance, a downgrade in Israel’s credit rating by rating agencies,
+Added: which may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to effectively conduct its operations.
+Added: addition, Israeli-based companies and companies doing business with Israel, have been the subject of an economic boycott by members of
+Added: the Arab League and certain other predominantly Muslim countries since Israel’s establishment.
+Added: Although Israel has entered into
+Added: various agreements with certain Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority, and various declarations have been signed in connection
+Added: with efforts to resolve some of the economic and political problems in the Middle East, we cannot predict whether or in what manner these

+Added: the level of foreign and local investment.
