Royalties:
 
The Company’s research and development efforts are financed, in part, through funding from the IIA and BIRD. Since the Company’s inception through December 31, 2020, the Company received funding from the IIA and BIRD in the total amount of $1.97 million and $500 thousand, respectively. Out of the $1.97 million in funding from the IIA, a total amount of $1.57 million were royalty-bearing grants (as of December 31, 2020, the Company paid royalties to the IIA in the total amount of $88 thousand), while a total amount of $400 thousand was received in consideration of 209 convertible preferred A shares, which converted after the Company’s initial public offering in September 2014 into ordinary shares in a conversion ratio of 1 to 1. The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the IIA, amounting to 3% of the sales of the products and other related revenues generated from such projects, up to 100% of the grants received. The royalty payment obligations also bear interest at the LIBOR rate. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the applicable products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required.

Additionally, the License Agreement requires the Company to pay Harvard royalties on net sales, See note 9 below for more information about the Collaboration Agreement and the License Agreement.

Royalties expenses in cost of revenue were $46 thousand and $15 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019 respectively, no royalties’ expenses recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
As of December 31, 2020, the contingent liability to the IIA amounted to $1.6 million. The Israeli Research and Development Law provides that know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred to third parties without the approval of the IIA. Such approval is not required for the sale or export of any products resulting from such research or development. The IIA, under special circumstances, may approve the transfer of IIA-funded know-how outside Israel, in the following cases:
 
(a) the grant recipient pays to the IIA a portion of the sale price paid in consideration for such IIA-funded know-how or in consideration for the sale of the grant recipient itself, as the case may be, which portion will not exceed six times the amount of the grants received plus interest (or three times the amount of the grant received plus interest, in the event that the recipient of the know-how has committed to retain the R&D activities of the grant recipient in Israel after the transfer); (b) the grant recipient receives know-how from a third party in exchange for its IIA-funded know-how; (c) such transfer of IIA-funded know-how arises in connection with certain types of cooperation in research and development activities; or (d) If such transfer of know-how arises in connection with a liquidation by reason of insolvency or receivership of the grant recipient.

Legal Claims:
  
As previously disclosed, between September 2016 and January 2017, eight putative class actions on behalf of alleged shareholders that purchased or acquired the Company’s ordinary shares pursuant and/or traceable to its registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-197344) used in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) were commenced in the following courts: (i) the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo; (ii) the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County; (iii) the United States District Court for the Northern District of California; and (iv) the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The actions involved claims under various sections of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against the Company, certain of its current and former directors and officers, the underwriters of the Company’s IPO and certain other defendants. The four actions commenced in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo were dismissed in January 2017 for lack of personal jurisdiction, and the action commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California was voluntarily dismissed in March 2017. Additionally, the two actions commenced in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County (he “Superior Court,”), were consolidated in December 2017, and voluntarily dismissed with prejudice in November 2018, after the District Court for the District of Massachusetts partially dismissed the related claims in that court and the parties in the Superior Court entered a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice.

The action commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “District Court”), alleging violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, was partially dismissed in August 2018. In particular, the District Court granted the motion to dismiss the claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, finding that the plaintiff failed to plead a false or misleading statement in the IPO registration statement. In May 2019, the court subsequently denied the plaintiff’s motion to amend to pursue Exchange Act claims and the complaint was dismissed. Thereafter, the plaintiff timely appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which subsequently affirmed the dismissal and the denial of the plaintiff’s motion to amend in August 2020. The plaintiff did not file a petition for certiorari for appeal of the case to the Supreme Court of the United States by the deadline on November 24, 2020. Thus, as of December 31, 2020, all eight actions had been dismissed, with such judgments being final and non-appealable.
