NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

	a.	General

		InspireMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of its proprietary MicroNet™ stent platform technology for the treatment of complex vascular and coronary disease. MicroNet, a micron mesh sleeve, is wrapped over a stent to provide embolic protection in stenting procedures.

		The Company’s carotid product (CGuard™ EPS) combines MicroNet and a self-expandable nitinol stent in a single device to treat carotid artery disease.

		The Company markets its products through distributors in international markets, mainly in Europe.

	b.	Liquidity

		The Company has an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2024, as well as a history of net losses and negative operating cash flows in recent years. The Company expects to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations until its product, CGuard™ EPS, reaches commercial profitability. As a result of these expected losses and negative cash flows from operations, along with the Company’s current cash position, the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

		Management’s plans include the continued commercialization of the Company’s product and raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships and exercise of warrants. 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 raising capital, it may need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.

	c.	Risks Related to the Company’s Operations in Israel

		In October 2023, Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization and entered a state of war. In addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization), Israel’s southern border with the Gaza Strip (with the Hamas terrorist organization) and on other fronts from various extremist groups in region, such as the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. In addition, Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the war in Israel is ongoing and continues to evolve. The Company operations, including its production facility, are located in Israel. Currently, such activities in Israel remain largely unaffected.

		During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of this war on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition was immaterial, but such impact may increase, which could be material, as a result of the continuation, escalation or expansion of such war.

F-10

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of the company, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods reported herein have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments). 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, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

		Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

		In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40).” This guidance simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the provisions of this update as of January 1, 2024 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncement, not yet adopted

	1)	In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. This guidance expands public entities segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements related disclosures.

	2)	In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

F-11

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The Company’s financial assets subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements were as follows:

	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	As of September 30, 2024
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Assets:
Cash equivalents-
Money market funds	$	2,677	$	2,677	$	-	$	-

Marketable securities-
U.S. government bonds	$	24,584	$	-	$	24,584	$	-

	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	As of December 31, 2023 ($ in thousands)
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Marketable securities	$	29,383	$	-	$	29,383	$	-

The Company’s debt securities are classified within Level 2 because it uses quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value.

The cost of marketable securities as of September 30, 2024, is $23,919 thousand.

The cost of Marketable securities as of December 31, 2023 is $28,727 thousand.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2024, a member of the immediate family of the CEO provided certain administrative services in connection with the Company’s expansion to the U.S. in the amount of $55,000 and $25,000, respectively.

NOTE 8 - NET LOSS PER SHARE:

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants and fully vested restricted stock units outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes the effect of potential dilution of share options, warrants, and unvested restricted stocks, unvested restricted stock units and Series C preferred stock as the effect is anti-dilutive.

For the purpose of calculating basic net loss per share, the additional shares of common stock that are issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants have been included since the shares are issuable for a negligible consideration, as determined by the Company according to ASC 260-10-45-13, and have no vesting or other contingencies associated with them. For the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2024, we had weighted average pre-funded warrants of 19,016,286 and 26,199,497, respectively, which were used in the computations of net loss per share for the nine and three-month periods.

F-15

The total number of shares of common stock related to outstanding options, warrants, unvested restricted stock, unvested restricted stock units and Series C Preferred Stock excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 48,619,222 and 59,753,458 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This amount includes 3,979,486 and 3,073,821 of unvested restricted stock included in the number of issued and outstanding shares as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 9 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value either because these amounts are presented at fair value or due to the relatively short-term maturities of such instruments.

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, allowance for expected credit loss was immaterial.

Overview

We are a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of our proprietary MicroNet™ stent platform for the treatment of carotid artery disease and other vascular disease. A stent is an expandable “scaffold-like” device, usually constructed of a metallic material, that is inserted into the lumen of the artery to create patency and revascularization of blood flow. MicroNet, a micron mesh sleeve, is attached over a stent to provide embolic protection both during and after stenting procedures.

Our CGuard™ carotid embolic prevention system (“CGuard EPS”) combines MicroNet and a unique self-expandable nitinol stent in a single device for use in carotid artery revascularization. Our CGuard EPS originally received CE mark approval under Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (“MDD”) in the European Union (“EU”) in March 2013 and was fully launched in Europe in September 2015. Subsequently, we launched CGuard EPS in over 30 countries and on February 3, 2021, we executed a distribution agreement with Chinese partners for the purpose of expanding our presence in the Asian markets. In January 2024, we received CE mark recertification under the EU’s Medical Device Regulation regulatory framework. Currently, we are seeking strategic partners for a potential launch of CGuard EPS in Japan and other Asian countries.

On September 8, 2020, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of our Investigation Device Exemption (“IDE”), thereby allowing us to proceed with a pivotal study of our CGuard™ Carotid Stent System, C-GUARDIANS, for prevention of stroke in patients in the United States. C-GUARDIANS is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, pivotal study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CGuard™ Carotid Stent System when used to treat symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (“CAS”). The study, which completed enrollment in June 2023, enrolled 316 patients across 24 trial sites in the U.S. and Europe and from April 2023 included deployment of the CGuard stent using CGuard Prime, our next generation CAS stent platform.

The primary endpoint was a composite of: (1) incidence of major adverse events including Death (all-cause mortality), any Stroke, and Myocardial Infarction (DSMI) through 30-days post index procedure, or (2) ipsilateral stroke from day 31 to day 365 post-procedure. All events were adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee. The composite index was compared to a performance goal based on the observed rate of the two components of the primary endpoint from previous pivotal stent trials which are considered industry standard. The performance goal was considered met if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval calculated from the observed primary endpoint rate is < 11.6% and the p-value is less than 0.025.

In November 2023, we announced positive 30-day follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial in which stenting with the CGuard Carotid Stent System in patients with carotid artery stenosis and at high risk for carotid endarterectomy had a DSMI rate of 0.95%, measured from the date of the procedure through 30 days follow-up post-procedure. We anticipate reporting primary endpoint results from the C-GUARDIANS trial at the end of May 2024 that may support the submission of a premarket approval, or PMA, application in the third quarter of 2024 with a view to potential FDA approval of the CGuard Prime stent system in the first half of 2025.

On May 28, 2024, we announced positive one-year follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial in which stenting with the CGuard Carotid Stent System in patients with carotid artery stenosis and at high risk for carotid endarterectomy had a 30-day DSMI and Ipsilateral stroke between 31 and 365 days rate of 1.95% measured from procedure to 1-year follow-up.

We continue to invest in current and future potential new indications, products and manufacturing enhancements for CGuard that are expected to reduce cost of goods and/or provide the best-in-class performing delivery systems, such as CGuard Prime. In furtherance of our strategy that focuses on establishing the CGuard Carotid Stent System as a viable alternative to vascular surgery, we are developing a new transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) system, SwitchGuard™ neuroprotection system (“SwitchGuard NPS”), for transcarotid access and neuro protection. In addition, we intend to explore new indications for CGuard to leverage the advantages of stent design and mesh protection, well suited in labels such as acute stroke with tandem lesions.

We consider our current addressable market for our CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS to be both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals with diagnosed high-grade carotid artery stenosis for whom intervention is preferable to medical (drug) therapy. This group includes not only carotid artery stenting patients but also individuals undergoing carotid endarterectomy, as the two approaches compete for the same patient population. Assuming full penetration of the intervention caseload by CGuard, we estimate that the addressable market for CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS is approximately $1.3 billion (source: Health Research International Personal Medical Systems, Inc. September 13, 2021 Results of Update Report on Global Carotid Stenting Procedures and Markets by Major Geography and Addressable Markets and internal estimates). According to this same report and internal estimates, assuming full penetration of treatment for all individuals diagnosed with high-grade carotid artery stenosis, we estimate the total available market for CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS to be approximately $9.3 billion, which may grow over time if expanded treatment options such as CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS lead to increased patient screening for carotid artery disease.

In October 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (“CMS”) issued its final National Coverage Determination (“NCD”), expanding coverage of CAS to include both asymptomatic and standard risk patients, significantly expanding the U.S. CAS addressable market.

Our mission is to offer a comprehensive set of delivery solutions (TCAR and Transfemoral) in order to deliver best in class results through patient outcomes by way of stent performance with CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS.

We were organized in the State of Delaware on February 29, 2008.

Recent Developments

One Year Results from the U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial

On May 28, 2024, we announced positive one-year follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial of the CGuard™ Carotid Stent Systemin which stenting with the CGuard Carotid Stent System in patients with carotid artery stenosis and at high risk for carotid endarterectomy had a 30-day DSMI and Ipsilateral stroke between 31 and 365 days rate of 1.95%, measured from procedure to 1-year follow-up.

Exercise of Series H Warrant

Following the announcement of the one year follow up study results from the Company’s C-GUARDIANS trial, Series H warrants to purchase 12,914,086 shares of common stock were exercised in full into 292,996 of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 12,621,090 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Series H Warrants were $16.9 million after deducting placement agent fees. The Series H warrants, each exercisable at $1.3827 per common share and $1.3826 per pre-funded warrant, were issued as part of the private placement financing that the Company consummated on May 15, 2023.

Security Situation in Israel

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. In addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization) and on other fronts from various extremist groups in region, such as the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. It is possible that hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon will escalate, and that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank as well as other hostile countries will join the hostilities. In addition, Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. We cannot currently predict the intensity or duration of Israel’s war against Hamas, nor can we predict how this war will ultimately affect our business and operations or Israel’s economy in general.

Submission of Premarket Approval Application

In September 2024, the Company submitted a PMA application to the FDA seeking marketing approval for the CGuard Prime carotid stent system in the U.S.

Approval of Investigational Device Exemption

In October 2024, the FDA approved the Company’s IDE to initiate the CGUARDIANS II pivotal study of its CGuard Prime 80cm Carotid Stent System during transcarotid revascularization (TCAR) procedures.

Establishment of U.S. Headquarters

In October 2024, we established our global headquarters in Miami, Florida to support the anticipated U.S, launch and commercialization of the CGuard Prime carotid stent system.

Critical Accounting Policies

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in both (i) “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (ii) Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have not been any material changes to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

The currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”).

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023

Revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased by $254,000, or 16.3%, to $1,810,000, from $1,556,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was predominantly driven by growth in existing and new markets.

With respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $142,000 increase in Europe, a $109,000 increase in Asia and a $13,000 increase in the Middle East, all for reasons mentioned in the paragraph above. This increase was offset by a $7,000 decrease in Latin America.

Gross Profit. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) decreased by $24,000, or 5.6%, to $414,000, from $438,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease in gross profit resulted from a $24,000 increase in miscellaneous expense. Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue) decreased to 22.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 28.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by the factors mentioned above.

Research and Development Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, research and development expenses increased by $1,805,000, or 85.5%, to $3,915,000, from $2,110,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily due to an increase of $1,016,000 of SwitchGuard NPS development and regulatory approval process including expenses related to the IDE application for the CGUARDIANS II pivotal study of the CGuard Prime 80cm Carotid Stent System, an increase in compensation expenses of $670,000, mainly due to an increase of share-based compensation-related expenses and due to the hiring of the Executive Vice President and General Manager of North America in connection with our expansion plans in the United States, an increase of $140,000 related to an early feasibility study of CGuard Prime for the treatment of acute stroke patients with tandem lesions and an increase of $224,000 in miscellaneous expenses. These increases were offset by a decrease of $245,000 in expenses associated with the C-Guardians FDA Study as the one-year follow-up finalized in the second quarter of 2024 and the submission this quarter of the PMA application to the FDA.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, selling and marketing expenses increased by $596,000, or 68.0%, to $1,472,000, from $876,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in compensation expenses of $524,000 as the Company build its U.S. commercial infrastructure to enter the U.S. market and an increase of $72,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $398,000, or 12.9%, to $3,489,000, from $3,091,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in compensation expenses of $354,000, mainly due to an increase of share-based compensation-related expenses and an increase of $44,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

Financial Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, financial income increased by $111,000 or 24.1%, to $572,000, from $461,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in financial income primarily resulted from a $91,000 increase in interest income from investment in marketable securities, money market funds and short-term bank deposits.

Tax Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there was no material change in our tax expenses as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net Loss. Our net loss increased by $2,712,000, or 52.4%, to $7,890,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $5,178,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $2,799,000 in operating expenses.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2023

Revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased by $616,000, or 13.9%, to $5,060,000 from $4,444,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was mainly due to growth in existing and new markets, partially offset by a reduction in clinical trial revenue driven by the conclusion of C-GUARDIANS enrollment in June 2023.

With respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $614,000 increase in Europe, a $79,000 increase in Asia, a $22,000 increase in Latin America and $6,000 in other territories for reasons mentioned above. This increase was offset by a $104,000 decrease in the United States as we completed in June 2023 the enrollment of all patients in our C-Guardians IDE clinical trial.

Gross Profit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gross profit (revenue less cost of revenues) decreased by 20.4%, or $265,000, to $1,037,000, compared to a $1,302,000 for the same period in 2023. This decrease in gross profit resulted from a $744,000 increase in material and labor costs. This increase in cost was mainly due to higher sales volume, increased compensation expense for new and current employees, additional space to build capacity for anticipated increased volume requirements and additional training expenses. In addition, the increase resulted from $78,000 related to production facility downtime for maintenance, write-offs of $58,000 and $3,000 in miscellaneous expense. This decrease was offset by an increase of the revenues of $616,000 as described above.

Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue) decreased to 20.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from 29.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by the factors mentioned above.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and Development Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, research and development expenses increased by 67.2%, or $3,995,000 to $9,941,000, from $5,946,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in compensation expenses of $2,032,000, mainly due to an increase of share-based compensation-related expenses and due to the hiring of the Executive Vice President and General Manager of North America in connection with our expansion plans in the United States, an increase of $1,518,000 of SwitchGuard NPS development and regulatory approval process including expenses related to the IDE application for the CGUARDIANS II pivotal study of the CGuard Prime 80cm Carotid Stent System, an increase of $376,000 related to an early feasibility study of CGuard Prime for the treatment of acute stroke patients with tandem lesions, an increase of $161,000 related to the establishment of operations in the United States and an increase of $394,000 in miscellaneous expenses. These increases were offset by a decrease of $486,000 in expenses associated with the C-Guardians FDA Study as the one-year follow-up finalized in the second quarter of 2024 and the submission this quarter of the PMA application to the U.S. FDA.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, selling and marketing expenses increased by 62.5%, or $1,598,000, to $4,154,000, from $2,556,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in compensation expenses of $1,374,000 and an increase of $224,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by 36.2%, or $2,944,000, to $11,079,000, from $8,135,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in share-based compensation expenses of $2,868,000 and an increase of $76,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

Financial Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, financial income increased by $481,000, to $1,305,000 of financial income, from $824,000 of financial income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in financial income primarily resulted from a $478,000 increase in interest income from investment in marketable securities, money market funds and short-term bank deposits.

Tax Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was no material change in our tax expenses as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Net Loss. Our net loss increased by $8,320,000, or 57.3%, to $22,831,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from $14,511,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $8,536,000 in operating expenses and decrease of $265,000 in gross profit, offset by an increase of $481,000 in financial income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2024, of $244 million, as well as a net loss of $22,831,000 and negative operating cash flows. We expect to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations until our product, CGuard EPS, reaches commercial profitability. As a result of these expected losses and negative cash flows from operations, along with our current cash position, we believe we do not have sufficient resources to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our plans include continued commercialization of our products and raising capital through sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships and exercise of warrants. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for our operations. If we are unsuccessful in commercializing our products or raising capital, we may need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.

In May 2023, we closed a private placement offering of 10,266,270 shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) of our common stock, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 15,561,894 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 51,656,328 shares of common stock, consisting of Series H warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common stock (the “Series H Warrants”), Series I warrants to purchase up to 12,914,078 shares of common stock (the “Series I Warrants”), Series J warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of Common Stock (the “Series J Warrants”) and Series K warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common stock (the “Series K Warrants” and together with the Series H Warrants, Series I Warrants and Series J Warrants, the “Warrants”), at an offering price of $1.6327 per Private Placement Share and associated Warrants and an offering price of $1.6326 per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Warrants that resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $42.2 million, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by us. If the Warrants issued in the private placement offering are exercised in cash in full this would result in an additional $71.4 million of gross proceeds.

In May 2024, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co., as sales agent (“Piper Sandler) to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, at our option, through or to Piper Sandler up to $17,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “ATM Program”). As of the issuance date of this report, we have sold 134,316 shares of our common stock for total gross proceeds of approximately $341 thousands under the ATM program.

During June 2024, Series H warrants to purchase 12,914,086 shares of common stock were exercised in full into 292,996 of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 12,621,090 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Series H Warrants were $16.9 million after deducting placement agent fees.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2023

General. At September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15,818,000 and marketable securities of $24,584,000, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $9,640,000 and marketable securities of $29,383,000 as of December 31, 2023. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuing new shares, borrowing activities and product sales. Our cash requirements are generally for research and development, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative costs, capital expenditures and general working capital.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in our operating activities increased by $2,919,000, or 23.9%, to $15,118,000, from $12,199,000 during the same period in 2023. The primary reason for the increase in cash used in our operating activities was an increase of $2,276,000 in payments for third party related expenses and for professional services, an increase of $1,506,000 in compensation costs paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from $7,332,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $8,838,000, a decrease of $99,000 in interest income received from money market funds, marketable securities and bank deposits, offset in part by an increase of $933,000 in payments received from customers.

Cash provided in our investing activities was $4,399,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash used of $16,056,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary reason for the increase in cash provided by our investing activities is proceeds from matured marketable securities of $5,556,000, net of investment in marketable securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to an investment in marketable securities of $28,838,000, offset by a withdrawal from short-term bank deposits, net of investment in short-term deposits, of $18,500,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and by an increase of $925,000 in payments made for purchase of property, plant and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months September 30, 2024, was $16,889,000. The source of the cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were the proceeds from exercise of Series H warrants. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months September 30, 2023, was $37,534,000. The source of the cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were the proceeds from the Private Placement Offering in May 2023 that resulted in approximately $37,534,000 of aggregate net proceeds.

As of September 30, 2024, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by a multiple of 6.4. Current assets increased by $2,235,000 during the period and current liabilities increased by $1,245,000 during the period. As a result, our working capital increased by $990,000 to $39,129,000 as of September 30, 2024.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Factors That May Affect Future Operations

We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the ordering patterns of our distributors, timing of regulatory approvals, the implementation of various phases of our clinical trials and manufacturing efficiencies due to the learning curve of utilizing new materials and equipment. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the Euro and strengthening of the NIS, both against the U.S. dollar. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand, such as individual country reimbursement policies pertaining to our products.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments since the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 to our condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for new accounting pronouncements adopted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2024, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. There are currently no pending material legal proceedings, and we are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims against us or our property that we believe will have any significant effect on our business, financial position or operating results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below in this Item 1A and the Risk Factors included in our previous filings made with the SEC, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024.

Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our condensed financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 includes an explanatory paragraph as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which could prevent us from obtaining new financing on reasonable terms or at all.

Because we have had recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to remain as a going concern at the same level at which we are currently performing. Accordingly, our condensed financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 includes an explanatory paragraph as to our potential inability to continue as a going concern. The doubts regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all.

If there are significant shifts in the political, economic and military conditions in Israel and its neighbors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business relationships and profitability.

Our executive office, sole manufacturing facility and certain of our key personnel are located in Israel. Our business is directly affected by the political, economic and military conditions in Israel and its neighbors. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. In addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization) and on other fronts from various extremist groups in region, such as the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. In addition, Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. These situations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent events which may affect Israel and us. Additionally, Yemeni rebel group, the Houthis, launched series of attacks on global shipping routes in the Red Sea, causing disruptions of supply chain. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict.

In connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s declaration of war against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations, several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service, including five of our full time employees in Israel. Although many of such military reservists have since been released, including the majority of our employees, they may be called up for additional reserve duty, depending on developments in the war in Gaza and along Israel’s other borders. Military service call ups that result in absences of personnel from us for an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. As of the date hereof, we currently have 62 full-time employees located in Israel and 18 employees located outside of Israel.

Since the war broke out on October 7, 2023, our operations have not been adversely affected by this situation, and we have not experienced disruptions to our clinical studies. None of the clinical sites currently participating in our clinical studies are located in Israel however we currently manufacture our CGuard at our facility in Tel Aviv, Israel. If there were a disruption to our existing manufacturing facility or our ability to procure raw materials and ship our products, we would have no other means of manufacturing and distributing CGuard until we were able to restore the manufacturing and distribution capability at our facility or develop alternative manufacturing facilities and distribution capabilities.

The intensity and duration of the current security situation in Israel is difficult to predict at this stage, as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general, and we continue to monitor the situation closely and examine the potential disruptions that could adversely affect our operations.

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and could harm our results of operations.

The continued political instability and hostilities between Israel and its neighbors and any future armed conflict, terrorist activity or political instability in the region could adversely affect our operations in Israel and adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock. In addition, several organizations and countries may restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies have been and are today subjected to economic boycotts. The interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Finally, political conditions within Israel may affect our operations. Israel has held five general elections between 2019 and 2022, and prior to October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political debate and unrest. To date, these initiatives have been substantially put on hold. Actual or perceived political instability in Israel or any negative changes in the political environment, may individually or in the aggregate adversely affect the Israeli economy and, in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
