Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
NanoVibronix, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, commenced operations on October 20, 2003 and is a medical device company focusing on noninvasive biological response-activating devices that target wound healing and pain therapy and can be administered at home without the assistance of medical professionals.
The Company’s principal research and development activities are conducted in Israel through its wholly owned subsidiary, NanoVibronix (Israel 2003) Ltd., a company registered in Israel, which commenced operations in October 2003.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN, LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s ability to continue to operate is dependent mainly on its ability to successfully market and sell its products and the receipt of additional financing until profitability is achieved. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has incurred losses as well as negative cash outflows from operating activities and expects to incur losses and negative cash outflows from operating activities through at least fiscal year 2024. Because the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the date of this filing and there could be a significant arbitration payment due (see Note 10), substantial doubt exists as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company will need to raise additional capital to finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as the Company’s products do not reach commercial profitability. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, the development of its product candidates and the Company’s commercial strategy may be impacted and there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for the interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 8, 2024.
The balance sheet for December 31, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting.
| 5 |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency translation
Non-U.S.
dollar denominated transactions and balances have been re-measured to U.S. dollars. All gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary
balance sheet items denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as other comprehensive income,
as appropriate. The cumulative translation gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $
Cash
The
Company holds cash in various banking institutions. Such funds are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
up to $
Trade receivables
The
Company’s trade receivable balance consists of amounts due from its customers. The Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”)
impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, which considers
forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Based on this model, the
Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, collection history, and current economic trends. Credit losses are
written off after all collection efforts have ceased. Allowances for credit losses are recorded as a direct reduction from an asset’s
amortized cost basis. Credit losses and recoveries are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements
of operations. Recoveries of financial assets previously written off are recorded when received. Trades receivables were $
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Costs
associated with advertising are charged to expenses as occurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the
advertising and marketing costs were $
Property and Equipment, net
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in the condensed consolidated
statement of operations or the period in which the disposal occurred. The Company utilizes a useful life ranging from
Management regularly reviews property and equipment for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based on management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s property and equipment as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Revenue recognition
Revenues from product sales are recognized in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” Five basic steps must be followed before revenue can be recognized; (1) identifying the contract(s) with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, such as promising to transfer goods or services to a customer; (3) determining the transaction price, meaning the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.
Revenue from product sales is recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which includes estimates of variable consideration that result from coupons, discounts, distributor fees and processing fees, as well as allowances for returns and government rebates. The Company constrains revenue by considering factors that could otherwise lead to a probable reversal of revenue. Collectability of revenue is reasonably assured based on historical evidence of collectability between the Company and its customers.
Revenues from sales to distributors are recognized at the time the products are delivered to the distributors (“sell-in”). The Company does not grant rights of return, credits, rebates, price protection, or other privileges on its products to distributors.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023, and there was no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU’s amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statements.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value accounting standards define fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:
| ● | Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
| ● | Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
There were no transfers between Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.
The following table presents changes in Level 3 asset and liability measured at fair value for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pending litigation
On
February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc. (“Protrade”) filed a Request for Arbitration (the “Request”) with the
International Court of Arbitration (the “ICA”) of the International Chamber of Commerce alleging that the Company is in breach
of an Exclusive Distribution Agreement dated March 7, 2019, between Protrade and the Company (the “Exclusive Distribution Agreement”).
Protrade alleges, in part, that the Company has breached the Exclusive Distribution Agreement by discontinuing the manufacture of the
DV0057 Painshield MD device in favor of an updated 10-100-001 Painshield MD device. Protrade claims damages estimated at $
On
March 15, 2022, the arbitrator issued a final award which determined that (i) the Company had the right to terminate the Exclusive Distribution
Agreement; (ii) the Company did not breach the duty of good faith and fair dealing with regard to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement;
and (iii) the Company did not breach any confidentiality obligations to Protrade. Nevertheless, the arbitrator determined that the Company
did not comply with the obligation to supply Protrade with a year’s supply of patches and awarded Protrade $
On April 5, 2022, Protrade filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of New York, Nassau County seeking to confirm the award. On April 13, 2022, the Company submitted an application to the ICA seeking to correct an error in the award based on the evidence that the Company only sold 2-3 reusable patches per device contrary to the 33 reusable patches claimed by Protrade. The same arbitrator who issued the award denied the application.
On July 22, 2022, the Company filed a cross-motion seeking to vacate the arbitration award on the grounds that the arbitrator exceeded her authority, that the award was procured by fraud, and that the arbitrator failed to follow procedures established by New York law. In particular, the Company averred in its motion that Protrade’s witness made false statements in arbitration and that the arbitrator resolved a claim that was never raised by Protrade and has no factual basis.
On October 3, 2022, the court issued a decision granting Protrade its petition to confirm the award and denying the cross-motion.
On November 9, 2022, the Company filed a motion to re-argue and renew its cross-motion to vacate the arbitration decision based on newer information that was not available during the initial hearing. On the same day, the Company also filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. On March 21, 2023, the court denied the motion to re-argue and renew.
On July 10, 2023, the Company filed an appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. The Company intends to continue to vigorously pursue its opposition to the award in all appropriate fora.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company accrued the amount of the arbitration award to Protrade of approximately $

| ● | The adoption of health policy changes and health care reform. | |
| ● | Lack of financial resources to adequately support our operations. | |

The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or 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 financial performance, you should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC. Moreover, new risks regularly emerge and it is not possible for us to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business, or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Overview
We are a medical device company focusing on noninvasive biological response-activating devices that target wound healing and pain therapy and can be administered at home, without the assistance of medical professionals. Our WoundShield, PainShield and UroShield products are backed by novel technology which relates to ultrasound delivery through surface acoustic waves.
Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Rules
On April 10, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the 30 consecutive business days between February 27, 2024 and April 9, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). The Letter also indicated that the Company was provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 7, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
Pursuant to the Letter, in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s Common Stock was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event that the Company did not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may have been eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company was required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and was required to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company met these requirements, the Company may have been eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance.
The Company did not regain compliance with the Rule by October 7, 2024, and on October 8, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Company was not eligible for an additional 180 day compliance period because the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market, and accordingly, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company subsequently timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which has stayed any further action by Nasdaq at least pending completion of the hearing and the expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel. The hearing is scheduled to be held on December 5, 2024. If the Company is delisted from Nasdaq, among other things, it will increase the difficulty in the Company’s ability to raise money through the sale of its securities.
Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash used in operations was $1,968,000 leaving a cash balance of $1,305,000 as of September 30, 2024. Because the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the date of this filing, management has substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Protrade Proceeding
On February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc. (“Protrade”) filed a Request for Arbitration (the “Request”) with the International Court of Arbitration (the “ICA”) of the International Chamber of Commerce alleging that we were in breach of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement. Protrade alleges, in part, that we breached the Exclusive Distribution Agreement by discontinuing the manufacture of the DV0057 Painshield MD device in favor of an updated 10-100-001 Painshield MD device. Protrade claims damages estimated at $3 million.
On March 15, 2022, the arbitrator issued a final award, which, determined that (i) we had the right to terminate the Exclusive Distribution Agreement; (ii) we did not breach the duty of good faith and fair dealing with regard to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement; and (iii) we did not breach any confidentiality obligations to Protrade. Nevertheless, the arbitrator determined that we did not comply with the obligation to supply Protrade with a year’s supply of patches and awarded Protrade $1,500,250, which consists of $1,432,000 for “lost profits” and $68,250 as reimbursement of arbitration costs, on the grounds that we allegedly failed to supply Protrade with certain patches utilized by users of DV0057 Painshield MD device. The arbitrator based the decision on the testimony of Protrade’s president who asserted that a user would use in excess of 33 patches per each device. We believe that the number of patches per device alleged by Protrade is grossly inflated and that these claims were not properly raised before the arbitrator. Accordingly, on April 13, 2022, we submitted an application for the correction of the award which the arbitrator denied on June 22, 2022.
On April 5, 2022, Protrade filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of New York, Nassau County seeking to confirm the award. On April 13, 2022, we submitted an application to the ICA seeking to correct an error in the award based on the evidence that we only sold 2-3 reusable patches per device contrary to the 33 reusable patches claimed by Protrade. The same arbitrator who issued the award denied the application.
On July 22, 2022, we filed a cross-motion seeking to vacate arbitration award on the grounds that the arbitrator exceeded her authority, that the award was procured by fraud, and that the arbitrator failed to follow procedures established by New York law. In particular, we averred in our motion that Protrade’s witness made false statements in arbitration and that the arbitrator resolved a claim that was never raised by Protrade and that has no factual basis.
| 14 |
On October 3, 2022, the court issued a decision granting Protrade its petition to confirm the award and denying the cross-motion.
On November 9, 2022, we filed a motion to re-argue and renew its cross-motion to vacate the arbitration decision based on newer information that was not available during the initial hearing. On the same day, we also filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. On March 21, 2023, the court denied the motion to re-argue and renew.
On July 10, 2023, we filed an appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. We intend to continue to vigorously pursue our opposition to the award in all appropriate fora.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company accrued the amount of the arbitration award to Protrade of approximately $2.1 million for both periods including interest which is classified in “Other accounts payable and accrued expenses.”
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation and requires management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in both (i) “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (ii) Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have not been any material changes to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
The currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Accordingly, our functional currency is the dollar.

The decrease was mainly attributable to decrease of revenues received from customers from Veteran Administration facilities or through workman’s compensation programs, referred to us from three sales representatives to whom we sold our products directly due to our lowering of certain wholesale prices to these representatives during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our revenues may fluctuate as we add new customers or when existing distributors make large purchases of our products during one period and no purchases during another period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our revenues were approximately $2,114,000 and $1,106,000 respectively, an increase of approximately 91%, or $1,008,000 between the periods. The increase was due to increased revenues from customers from Veteran Administration facilities and through workman’s compensation programs who are referred to us from certain sales representatives, and UPPI in 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We have incurred losses in the amount of approximately $2,274,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as we continue to maintain significant net operating losses from operations. We also had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,968,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We had a cash balance of just over $1,305,000 as of September 30, 2024, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. Due to the continued expected negative cash flow from operations and the potential arbitration payment, if we are unsuccessful in our appeals, the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. As such, there is substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will need to continue to raise additional capital to finance our losses and negative cash flows from operations and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will need to adjust our business plan and reduce workforce, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial position.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, we met our short-term liquidity requirements from our existing cash reserves and from the sale of our securities. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products, our development of future products, competing technological, and market developments. We expect to continue to incur losses and negative flows from operations. We intend to use the proceeds generated from equity financings, or strategic alliances with third parties, either alone or in combination with equity financing to meet our short-term liquidity requirements as well as to advance our long-term plans. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital, as required, on terms favorable to us.
As of September 30, 2024, we do not have a commitment to fund our product redevelopment project for approximately another $1.2 million over the next four quarters as well as the $2 million owed to Protrade as of September 30, 2024, under the court decision, which we continue to appeal.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, 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.
Cash Flows
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of approximately $1,305,000, compared to approximately $3,283,000 as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash was primarily due to our net loss of $2,274,000 which primarily consisted of increased revenues and increased gross margins offset by our operating expenses. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuance of equity, borrowing activities and sales. Our cash requirements are generally for product development, research, and development cost, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative cost, capital expenditures, and general working capital.
Cash used in our operating activities was approximately $1,968,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3,111,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cash used in our investing activities was approximately $3,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4,222,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this Item 3.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal ended December 31, 2023, initially filed with the SEC on April 8, 2024.
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness
With the oversight of senior management and audit committee of the Board of Directors, we have taken the steps below and we plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal ended December 31, 2023, initially filed with the SEC on April 8, 2024:
| ● | We have been able to remediate the material weakness identified above with respect to the issuance of shares in excess of the number of authorized shares in 2021 issued in connection with the conversion of shares of our preferred stock and the exercise of certain warrants and implemented a plan to have adequate controls in place to avoid future issuances in excess of authorized shares. The Company took steps to remediate the stock issuance material weakness through creating procedures over the approval of any new equity issuances to ensure that there are no further over-issuances which includes the creation of an equity roll forward master sheet that must be approved and signed off by senior management before any new equity issuances, including warrants, stock options, and issuances of any shares of stock. | |
| ● | With assistance from a finance and accounting third-party service provider, the Company was able to formalize our risk assessment process, policies, and procedures, implementing revised control activities, controls documentation, and ongoing monitoring activities related to the internal controls over financial reporting, including testing documentation to provide evidence that our system of internal controls over financial reporting meets the requirements of the COSO 2013 framework and provide a foundation for the Company to communicate internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action. | |
| ● | We expanded consultations with third-party specialists on complex accounting matters, financial reporting and regulatory filings, and to create enhanced documentation to support a more precise review process, as well as enhanced monitoring of the review process, effective enhanced monitoring of the review process, and an effective system of training of use and review of our inventory recording systems. |
In addition, under the direction of the audit committee of the Board of Directors, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment, as well as to refine policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of the Company. After all the remediation efforts, not all material weaknesses may be remediated and others may arise in future periods.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than described above in Item 4, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has 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 be involved in certain claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of business. Management assesses such claims and, if it considers that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the most likely outcome.
The information set forth in Note 10 Commitment and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference herein.
There are no other material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers, affiliates, any registered or beneficial stockholder of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or any associate of any of the foregoing is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, the risk factors addressed below associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as initially filed with the SEC on April 8, 2024. Our business, financial condition, and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price.
The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.
We conduct our operations in Israel Conditions in Israel, and, therefore, our business, results of operations and liquidity may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel, including the ongoing multi-front war between Israel and terrorist groups and hostile state actors in the Middle East.
Because we are incorporated under the laws of the state of Israel and our operations are conducted in Israel, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its neighboring countries and terrorist organizations active in the region. These conflicts have involved missile strikes, hostile infiltrations, and terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, which have negatively affected business conditions in Israel.
Most recently, 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 the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against the terrorist organization commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.
Following the attack by Hamas on Israel’s southern border, Hezbollah in Lebanon has also launched missiles, rockets, and shooting attacks against Israeli military sites, troops, and Israeli towns in northern Israel. In response to these attacks, the Israeli army has carried out a number of targeted strikes on sites belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and begun conducting a limited ground operation in southern Lebanon, which has the potential to escalate into a wider regional conflict.
In addition, Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel. 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. The Houthis, a military organization based in Yemen, have launched a series of attacks on global shipping routes in the Red Sea, as well as direct attacks on various parts of Israel.
Such incidents contribute to regional instability and could potentially escalate into broader conflicts with Iran and its proxies in the middle east, affecting Israel’s political and trade relations, especially with neighboring countries and global allies. The situation remains fluid, and the potential for further escalation exists.
Any hostilities involving Israel, or the interruption or curtailment of trade within Israel or between Israel and its trading partners, or the ability to ship our products overseas, could adversely affect our operations and results of operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Parties with whom we may do business have sometimes declined to travel to Israel during periods of heightened unrest or tension, forcing us to make alternative arrangements when necessary. The conflict situation in Israel could cause situations where medical product certifying or auditing bodies could not be able to visit manufacturing facilities of our subcontractors in Israel in order to review our certifications or clearances, thus possibly leading to temporary suspensions or even cancellations of our product clearances or certifications. The conflict situation in Israel could also result in parties with whom we have agreements involving performance in Israel claiming that they are not obligated to perform their commitments under those agreements pursuant to force majeure provisions in such agreements.
There have been travel advisories issued related to travel to Israel, restriction on travel, and delays and disruptions as related to imports and exports may be imposed in the future. An inability to receive supplies and materials, shortages of materials or difficulties in procuring our materials, among others, or conversely, our ability to ship products to our US facilities or overseas customers, may adversely impact our ability to commercialize and manufacture our product candidates and products in a timely manner. This could cause a number of delays and/or issues for our operations, including delay of the review of our product candidates by regulatory agencies, which in turn would have a material adverse impact on our ability to commercialize our product candidates.
Additionally, members of our management and employees are located and reside in Israel. Shelter-in-place and work-from-home measures, government-imposed restrictions on movement and travel, and other precautions taken to address the ongoing conflict may temporarily disrupt our management and employees’ ability to effectively perform their daily tasks.

The IDF, the national military of Israel, is a conscripted military service, subject to certain exceptions. None of our employees are subject to military service in the IDF and have been called to serve, but many do serve on guard duty in their local communities from time to time. It is possible that there will be further military reserve duty call-ups in the future, which may affect our business due to a shortage of skilled labor and loss of institutional knowledge, and necessary mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease in labor availability, such as overtime and third-party outsourcing, for example, which may have unintended negative effects and adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity, or cash flows.
It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business, operations, and financial conditions. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt our business and operations, interrupt our sources and availability of supply, and hamper our ability to raise additional funds or sell our securities, among others.
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management has substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash used in operations was $1,978,000 leaving a cash balance of $1,305,000 as of September 30, 2024. Because the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the date of this filing, management has substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company will need to raise additional capital to finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. There are no assurances that the Company would be able to raise additional capital on terms favorable to it. If the Company is unsuccessful in commercializing its products and raising capital, it will need to reduce activities, curtail, or cease operations.
If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our Common Stock may be delisted and the price of our Common Stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Our Common Stock is currently listed for trading on Nasdaq. We must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million and a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. A delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq could materially reduce the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our Common Stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.
On April 10, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the 30 consecutive business days between February 27, 2024 and April 9, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). The Letter also indicated that the Company was provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 7, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
| 21 |
Pursuant to the Letter in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s Common Stock was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company was required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and was required to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company met these requirements, the Company may have been eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance.
The Company did not regain compliance with the Rule by October 7, 2024, and on October 8, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Company was not eligible for an additional 180 day compliance period because the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market, and accordingly, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company subsequently timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which has stayed any further action by Nasdaq at least pending completion of the hearing and the expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel. The hearing is scheduled to be held on December 5, 2024.
There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
