Impairment of Field Equipment

NOTE 9: IMPAIRMENT OF FIELD EQUIPMENT

The Company received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval on its Premarket Approval supplement application to market its second generation Optune System in the United States on July 13, 2016. The Company made the second generation Optune System available to all patients in the United States during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.  Manufacturing of the first generation Optune System has been terminated. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an impairment loss in the second quarter with respect to the write-off of first generation Optune System field equipment (finished goods and production stage) in the amount of $6,412, including advances for materials purchased and liabilities incurred to vendors of $1,582 that are not recoverable, presented in cost of revenues. The Company does not expect the conversion to result in an additional material impairment charge in the future.
