Since our inception through June 30, 2023, we have funded our operations principally with approximately $114,000, in the aggregate, from funding from Magna B.S.P Ltd., the issuance of Ordinary Shares or ADSs and exercise of warrants and options. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $17,800 in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term bank deposits.

 

The table below presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:

 

U.S. dollars in thousands  Six months ended June 30, 
   2023   2022 
Operating activities   (7,983)   (8,107)

Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash   (2,145)   (3,062)

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $7,983 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily used for payment of salaries and related personnel expenses, subcontracted work, payments for professional services, patent expenses, director’s fees, rent and other miscellaneous expenses.

 

Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $8,107 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily used for payment of salaries and related personnel expenses, subcontracted work, payments for professional services, patent expenses, director’s fees, rent and other miscellaneous expenses.

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, there were no cash flows from financing activities.

 

Current Outlook

 

We have financed our operations to date primarily through proceeds from sales of our ordinary shares and ADSs , including through the use of sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, dated January 22, 2021, and the sale and exercise of warrants. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since January 2011. Since January 2011, we have not generated significant revenue from the sale of products, however, we expect to see an increase in our revenue from the sale of our products in the coming years, though there is no guarantee we will be successful in doing so.

 

Until we can generate significant recurring revenues and achieve profitability, we may need to seek additional sources of funds through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or other securities. Any required additional capital, whether forecasted or not, may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing or are unsuccessful in commercializing our products and securing sufficient funding, we may be required to reduce activities, curtail or even cease operations. In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of many factors that may currently be unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

  the progress and costs of our research and development activities;

 

  the costs of manufacturing our products;

 

  the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

 

  the potential costs of contracting with third parties to provide marketing and distribution services for us or for building such capacities internally; and

 

  the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses.

 

Until we can generate significant recurring revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our products.

 

C. Research and development, patents and licenses, etc.

 

A comprehensive discussion of our research and development, patents and licenses, etc., is included in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in our Annual Report.

 

D. Critical Accounting Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in our Annual Report, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2022, included elsewhere in this Report Form 6-K.
