Overview

 

We develop, manufacture, market, and sell ruggedized tactical communication headset devices as well as other communication accessories, all of which have been field-tested and combat-proven. Our in-ear headset devices, or In-Ear Headsets, are used in combat, the battlefield, riot control, demonstrations, weapons training courses, and on the factory floor. Our In-Ear Headsets seamlessly integrate with third party manufacturers of professional-grade ruggedized radios that are used by soldiers in combat or by police officers in leading military and law enforcements units. Our In-Ear Headsets also fit tightly into the protective gear to enable users to speak and hear clearly and precisely while they are protected from the hazardous sounds of combat, riots or dangerous situations. The sleek, lightweight, In-Ear Headsets include active sound protection to eliminate unsafe sounds, while maintaining ambient environmental awareness, giving our customers 360° situational awareness. We work closely with our customers and seek to improve the functionality and quality of our products based on actual feedback from soldiers and police officers “in the field.” We sell our In-Ear Headsets and communication accessories directly to military forces, police and other law enforcement units. We also deal with specialized networks of local distributors in each locale in which they operate and have developed key strategic partnerships with radio equipment manufacturers.

General and administrative expenses increased by 47.69% to $1,425 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $965 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is mainly due to consulting, investor relations, and insurance expenses.

Based on the foregoing, our operating profit was $267 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an operating loss of from $2,328 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023. 

 

Finance expenses

 

Finance expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $232 thousand compared to finance expenses of $35 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in finance expenses is primarily due to the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, particularly the US dollar appreciating against the new Israeli shekel.

 

Finance income

 

Finance income, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $148 thousand compared to finance income of $37 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in finance income is primarily due to the revaluation of marketable securities.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $696 thousand by 70.1%, compared with a net loss of $2,326 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is attributable to NYSE American listing expenses and share-based compensation expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Since our inception through June 30, 2024, we have funded our operations primarily from cash generated from our operating activities and the issuance of ordinary securities. As of June 30, 2024, we had $668 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $568 thousand as of December 31, 2023.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $640 thousand. This net cash used in operating activities primarily reflects a decrease in other accounts payable and the result of NYSE American listing expenses and share-based compensation expenses.

 

The net decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, is attributable mainly to a decrease in trade receivables. This net decrease was partially offset by a decrease in trade payables and other accounts payable.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $403 thousand. This net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects share-based compensation expenses adjustments.

 

The decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is attributable to a decrease in trade payables and a decrease in other accounts payable. This net decrease was partially offset by a decrease in trade receivables.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3,063 thousand. This net cash used for investing activities is primarily attributable to investing in marketable securities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $15 thousand. This net cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to the purchase of property and equipment and an increase in long-term bank deposits.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3,805 thousand, compared to net cash used in financial activities $101 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

The increase in changes in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is attributable to the issuance of 1,250,000 Ordinary Shares in our initial public offering on NYSE American, which closed on January 17, 2024. This increase was partially offset by a repayment of warrants to Bank Mizrahi and certain former and current shareholders pursuant to certain investor agreements.

 

Current Outlook

 

We have financed our operations to date primarily from cash generated from our operating activities and the issuance of securities.

 

As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $668 thousand and we had positive working capital of $6,562 thousand. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents position is sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and planned operations for at least the next 12 months beyond the filing date of this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.

 

However, 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. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

  our ability to sell our products according to our plans;

 

  the progress and cost of our research and development activities;

 

the costs associated with the manufacturing our products;

 

the costs of working capital;

 

6

 

 

significant new orders that need to be financed;

  

  the cost of our commercialization efforts, marketing, sales and distribution of our products 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.

 

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 policies is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” under “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” section in our Annual Report, as well as our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, included elsewhere in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. At the time of the preparation of the financial statements, our management is required to use estimates, evaluations, and assumptions which affect the application of the accounting policy and the amounts reported for assets, obligations, income, and expenses. Any estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. The changes to the accounting estimates are credited during the period in which the change to the estimate is made.
