SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Actelis Networks Inc.’s (the “Company”, “we”) financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performances, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performances or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed on March 29, 2023, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
In addition, forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | our ability to protect our intellectual property and continue to innovate; |
| ● | our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our offering; |
| ● | the potential insufficiency of our disclosure controls and procedures to detect errors or acts of fraud; |
| ● | the accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; |
| ● | the success of competing products or technologies that are or may become available; |
| ● | our potential ability to obtain additional financing; |
| ● | our ability to grow the business due to the uncertainty resulting from the recent COVID-19 pandemic or any future pandemic; |
| ● | our ability to comply with complex and increasing regulations by governmental authorities; |
| ● | our ability to maintain continued listing of our securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market; |
| ● | our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading; |
| ● | our expectations regarding the period during which we qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; |
| ● | our ability to successfully execute on our future operating plans as a going concern; |
| ● | our anticipated use of the proceeds from our initial public offering (“IPO”) and subsequent equity financings; and |
| ● | our financial performance following the date hereof. |
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and our management’s beliefs and assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance or development and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in some cases beyond our control. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. As a result, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may turn out to be inaccurate.
The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this filing. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or will occur. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date hereof.

The Company is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of cyber hardened, hybrid fiber, copper networking solutions for IoT and Telecommunication companies. The Company’s customers include providers of telecommunication services and enterprises as well as resellers of the Company’s products.

The Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers, channel partners and customers were disrupted to varying degrees by a range of external factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of which are not within the Company’s control.
The duration and extent of any future epidemic or pandemic and its potential effect on the Company depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
| a) | Basis of presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)’s Regulation S-X. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of and for the periods presented. 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, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the 2023 fiscal year or any other interim period or for any other future year. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
| b) | Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements |
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates on an ongoing basis its assumptions, including those related to contingencies, fair values of financial instruments, inventory write-offs, as well as in estimates used in applying the revenue recognition policy. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| c) | Revenue recognition |
The Company’s products consist of hardware and an embedded software that function together to deliver the product’s functionality. The embedded software is essential to the functionality of the Company’s products. The Company’s products are sold with a two-year warranty for repairs or replacements of the product in the event of damage or failure during the term of the support period, which is accounted for as a standard warranty. Services relating to repair or replacement of hardware beyond the standard warranty period are offered under renewable, fee-based contracts and include telephone support, remote diagnostics, and access to on-site technical support personnel.
The Company also offers its customers other management software. The Company sells its other non-embedded software either as perpetual or as term-based licenses.
The Company provides, to certain customers, software updates that it chooses to develop, which the Company refers to as unspecified software updates, and enhancements related to the Company’s management software through support service contracts. The Company also offers its customers product support services which include telephone support, remote diagnostics and access to on-site technical support personnel.
The Company’s customers are comprised of resellers, system integrators and distributors.
The Company follows five steps to record revenue: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price;
F-11

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
U.S. DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
(iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) it satisfies its performance obligations.
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The Company’s contracts do not include additional discounts once product price is set, right of returns, significant financing components or any forms of variable consideration.
The Company uses the practical expedient and does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and revenue recognition is less than a year. The Company’s service period is for one year and is paid for either up front or on a quarterly basis.
Sales of products
Most of the Company’s contracts are of a single performance obligation (sales of the product with a standard warranty) thus the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. In addition, the Company also sells separate services such as product support service and extended warranty.
Sales of software with related services
The Company sells perpetual management software and term-based licenses for its management software together with related services. The perpetual management software stand-alone selling price is established by taking into consideration available information such as historical selling prices of the perpetual license, geographic location, and market conditions. For contracts that contain more than one identified performance obligation (a term-based license for its management software together with related services), the stand- alone selling price of a term-based license, is based on a ratio from the relevant perpetual management software stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price of the related service is then determined by applying the residual method.
Revenue from selling the Company’s product and/or the software management (either as term-based or perpetual) is recognized at a point in time which is typically at the time of shipment of products to the customer or when the code is transferred, respectively. Revenue from services (e.g., product support service, software support service or extended warranty) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, as a time-based measure of progress best reflects our performance in satisfying this performance obligation.
| d) | Fair value of financial instruments |
Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the fair values of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, long-term loan, restricted cash and restricted bank deposits approximated the carrying values of these instruments presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because of their nature.
| e) | Concentration of risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade receivables. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are placed with banks and financial institutions in the United States and Israel.
Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, present minimal credit risk with respect to those investments.
The Company’s trade receivables are derived primarily from telecommunication operators, the Company’s reseller customers and enterprises located mainly in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Credit risk with respect to trade receivables exists to the full extent of the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains the allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering current market conditions and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability.

| The Company does not see any credit risk regarding the major trade receivable balance, as most of the remaining balance was paid off after the balance sheet date. |
| f) | Reverse stock split |
The Company accounted for the Reverse Stock Splits on a retroactive basis pursuant to ASC 260. As a result, all common stock, Non-voting Common stock, redeemable Convertible Preferred stock, warrants, RSUs and options outstanding and exercisable for common stock, exercise prices and loss per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements and the applicable disclosures, to reflect such Reverse Stock Splits.
| g) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASC 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments to introduce a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on estimated current expected credit losses, or CECL. Under the new standard, an entity is required to estimate CECL on trade receivables at inception, based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, and there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statements of operations upon adoption.

Additionally, in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the change of the type of the stock from redeemable preferred stock to common stock at conversion, the Company reassessed the Comerica Warrants. As part of the contractual terms and conditions of Comerica’s Warrants, a portion of the warrants are exercisable, as of the IPO date, into the Company’s common stock. The Comerica Warrants are still outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The Company has evaluated whether the Comerica Warrants are still classified as liabilities and concluded that due to a change-of-control provision which may affect the exercise price or entitle Comerica to demand cash, instead of shares, to settle the warrants, Comerica’s Warrants will continue to be classified as liabilities and will be exercisable into the Company’s common shares.
| b) | During the period from February 2018 through November 2020, the Company issued warrants to Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank (“Mizrahi”) contemporaneously with obtaining a loan and a credit facility. The warrants are convertible into series B convertible redeemable preferred stock or common stock in a qualified financing round. The number of series B convertible redeemable preferred stock is determined by the lesser of (1) dividing the warrant amount (as determined under the contract) by the applicable exercise price which depends on the triggering event as established in the contract, or (2) the lowest stock purchase price in a qualified financing round. |

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023, Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Revenues
Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $0.85 million compared to $1.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease from the corresponding period was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.2 million of revenues generated from North America and a decrease of $0.3 of revenues generated from Asia Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $4.6 compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease from the corresponding period was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.4 million in revenues generated from North America and a decrease of $0.4 million in revenues generated from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, offset by an increase of $0.1 million in revenues generated from Asia Pacific.
1
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $0.6 million compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease from the corresponding period was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues as well as change in the product mix.
Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $3.0 million compared to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease from the corresponding period was mainly due to the decrease in revenues as well as change in the product mix, partially offset by the higher effect of fixed costs as the percent of the lower revenues.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $0.7 million compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Our research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $2.1 million compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to an increase in professional services related to research and development.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $0.7 million compared to $0.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in commission and travel expenses.
Our sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $2.3 million compared to $2.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in commission and travel expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $1.0 million compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. There was a decrease driven by cost reduction measures, offset by one time financing related expenses.
Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $2.8 million compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.The increase was driven by financing related expenses, partially offset by cost reduction measures.
Operating Loss
Our operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $2.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to the decreases in revenues and gross margin.
Our operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $5.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was mainly due to the decreases in revenues and gross margin while continuing to invest in Sales and Marketing.
2
Financial Expenses, Net
Our financial income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $1.3 million (including $0.2 million interest expenses) compared to financial expenses, net of $0.2 million (including $0.2 million interest expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in financial income was due to the decrease in fair value of warrants in the amount of $1.3 million, as well as exchange rate differences in the amount of $0.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.05 in the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Our financial income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $1.3 million (including $0.5 million interest expenses) compared to financial expenses, net of $4.4 million (including $0.6 million interest expenses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded financial income in connection with a decrease in fair value of warrants in the amount of $1.7 million, compared to an increase in fair value of various financial instruments prior to the IPO completed in May 2022, such as a convertible loan, note and warrants in the amount of $4.5 million. In addition, the Company recorded income in the amount of $0.4 million from exchange rate differences, compared to $0.7 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $0.9 million, compared to net loss of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in financial income, net related to the decrease in fair value of warrants.
Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $4.4 million, compared to net loss of $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and gross margin offset by a decrease in financial expenses, net resulting from the conversion of the financial instruments the Company had such as a convertible loan, note and warrants from the IPO completed in May 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are Non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we provide Non-GAAP supplemental operating results adjusted for certain items, including: financial expenses, which are interest, financial instrument fair value adjustments, exchange rate differences of assets and liabilities, stock based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, tax expense, and impact of development expenses ahead of product launch. We adjust for the items listed above and show non-GAAP financial measures in all periods presented, unless the impact is clearly immaterial to our financial statements. When we calculate the tax effect of the adjustments, we include all current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the adjusted measure of pre-tax profitability.
3
We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments but not for comparison to budgeted operating results.. We believe the supplemental adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees and optimizes our business operations on a day-to-day basis. We exclude the costs in calculating adjusted results to allow us and investors to evaluate the performance of the business based upon its expected ongoing operating structure. We believe the adjusted measures, accompanied by the disclosure of the costs of these programs, provides valuable insight to our financial performance. Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, debt financing, convertible loans and royalty-bearing grants that we received from the Israel Innovation Authority. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
Our future capital requirements will be affected by many factors, including our revenue growth, the timing and extent of investments to support such growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, increases in general and administrative costs, repayment of principal of our existing credit line, working capital to support securing raw material supply and many other factors as described under “Risk Factors.”
To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, the repercussions from the COVID 19 pandemic, as well as the war in Israel and the war between Russia and the Ukraine, has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital.
As discussed in Note 1(c) to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and incurred losses of $4,355 and $10,982 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, we had negative cash flows from operations of $5,194 and $7,768, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we had negative working capital and an accumulated deficit of $37,757.
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash on hand (including short term deposits and restricted bank deposits) of $1,386 and long-term deposits, restricted bank deposits and restricted cash of $4,457. We monitor our cash flow projections on a current basis and take active measures to obtain the funding we require to continue our operations, as well as make adjustments to our cost structure that were done year to date. However, these cash flow projections are subject to various uncertainties concerning their fulfilment, such as the ability to increase revenues by attracting and expanding our customer base or reducing cost structure. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flow or completing additional financing, then we will need to execute additional cost reduction actions that have been planned. Our transition to profitable operations is dependent on generating a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure. We expect to fund operations using cash on hand, through operational cash flows and raising additional proceeds. There are no assurances, however, that we will be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our cost structure or that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing necessary for our operations. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions and has determined that we do not have sufficient resources to meet our operating obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Cash Flows
The table below, for the periods indicated, provides selected cash flow information:
| (U.S. dollars in thousands) | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 | ||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (5,194 | ) | $ | (5,776 | ) | ||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 1,430 | (102 | ) | |||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 2,586 | 16,028 | ||||||
| Net change in cash | $ | (1,190 | ) | $ | 10,150 | |||
4
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $3.1 million compared to $10.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2022.
Cash used in operating activities amounted to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $5.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was mainly due to decrease in trade receivables.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to cash used in investing activities of $0.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase from the corresponding period was mainly due to changes in short term deposits.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulted from proceeds from a private placement which closed on May 4, 2023 – see note 11(d) to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulted from proceeds from the Company’s IPO in the amount of $15.4, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs of $1.0 million. In addition, the increase is related to the private placement first and second closing. See notes 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the applicable periods. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported.
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB.
Our significant accounting policies include revenue from contracts with customers which is more fully described in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual financial statements for the year the year ended December 31, 2022, including the footnotes, for a description of our significant accounting policies. We believe that these accounting policies discussed are critical to our financial results and to the understanding of our past and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s estimates and assumptions. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) it requires us to make assumptions because information was not available at the time or it included matters that were highly uncertain at the time we were making our estimate; and (2) changes in the estimate could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon such evaluation and due to the material weakness described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023 were not effective. In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Previously Identified Material Weakness and Plans to Remediate
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and as disclosed in our Annual Report, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the lack of a sufficient number of finance personnel to allow for adequate segregation of duties that had not been remediated as of December 31, 2022. We concluded that the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting occurred because, prior to our IPO, as a private company we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As we have thus far not needed to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm has performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In light of this deficiency, we believe that it is possible that certain additional control deficiencies and material weaknesses may have been identified if such an evaluation had been performed.
We are working to remediate the material weakness. Our remediation efforts are ongoing, and we will continue our initiatives to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. We have taken steps to enhance our internal control environment and plan to take additional steps to remediate the deficiencies and address material weaknesses. Specifically:
| ● | We will hire qualified personnel in our accounting department. We will continue to evaluate the structure of the finance organization and add resources as needed; |
| ● | We are implementing additional internal reporting procedures, including those designed to add strength to our review processes and improve our segregation of duties; and |
| ● | We are redesigning and implementing common internal control activities; and we will continue to establish policies and procedures and enhance corporate oversight over process-level controls and structures to ensure that there is appropriate assignment of authority, responsibility and accountability to enable remediating our material weaknesses. |
7
In addition to the items noted above, as we continue to evaluate, remediate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, executive management may elect to implement additional measures to address control deficiencies or may determine that the remediation efforts described above require modification. Executive management, in consultation with and at the direction of our Audit Committee, will continue to assess the control environment and the above-mentioned efforts to remediate the underlying causes of the identified material weakness
Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we are unable, at this time to estimate how long it will take; and our efforts may not be successful in remediating the deficiencies or material weakness. We believe our remediation actions will be effective in remediating the material weakness identified, and we continue to devote significant time and attention to these efforts. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial processes and procedures have been in place for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. Accordingly, the material weakness above is not remediated as of September 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting as permitted in this transition period under the rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

Part II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. To the knowledge of our management, there are no legal proceedings currently pending against us which we believe would have a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Readers should carefully the risk factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report. Our business involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and including those set forth below, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our Prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described in our Prospectus are not the only ones we face. Additional risk and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, including those listed below. The realization of any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and future prospects as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Potential political, economic and military instability in the State of Israel, where our offices, members of our management team, our production and research and development facilities are located, may adversely affect our results of operations.
Several of our executive offices and research and development facilities are located in Israel. In addition, several of our employees, officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and groups in its neighboring countries, Hamas (an Islamist militia and political group that has historically controlled the Gaza Strip) and Hezbollah (an Islamist militia and political group based in Lebanon). In addition, several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations and the market price of our Ordinary Shares.
Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering 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, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older for certain reservists) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to increases in terrorist activity, there have been periods of significant call-ups of military reservists.
Additionally, having already passed into law a bill that removes the power of the Israeli judiciary to strike down legislation it deems unreasonable, the Israeli government also announced its plans to pass into legislation other judicial reforms that would, for example, increase political influence over the selection of judges. These plans have been met with mass protests in Israel and criticism from leading Israeli business leaders and certain foreign leaders. If such government plans are eventually enacted, they may cause operational challenges for us since we are headquartered in Israel and the majority of our employees are located in Israel. In addition, if foreign policy is negatively impacted with regard to Israel, this could impact our business with suppliers and customers which could in turn adversely impact our reputation, results of operations or financial condition.
In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted an orchestrated series of attacks on civilian and military targets, resulting in the mass death, maiming and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers in Israel. 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.
Following the attack, the Israeli government declared that the country was at war and the Israeli military began to call up reservists for active duty, including one of our employees, in anticipation of an active military campaign. While none of our facilities or infrastructure have been damaged nor have our supply chains been impacted since the war broke out on October 7, 2023, the import and export of goods may experience disruptions in and out of Israel as a result of such military conflict. A prolonged war could result in further military reserve duty call-ups in the future as well as irregularities to our supply chain and the movement of components and raw material into Israel and our finished products exported from Israel, which could disrupt our operations. Such disruption could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
9
The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict, as are its economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general.
Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on our business. The political and security situation in Israel may result in parties, with whom we have contracts, claiming that they have been discharged from performance, based on force majeure provisions. Political and economic implications of these hostilities, therefore, could harm our operations and product development.
Any hostilities involving Israel and the potential interruption and curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and make it more difficult for us to raise capital. We may experience disruptions if acts associated with such hostilities result in serious damage to our business and manufacturing facilities. Our business interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for potential losses that may occur as a result of events associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our shareholders' equity does not meet the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. If we fail to regain compliance with the minimum shareholders' equity requirements, our common stock will be subject to delisting. Our ability to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected if our common stock is delisted.
On August 25, 2023, we received a notification letter (the "Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Nasdaq") indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) because our shareholders' equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the "Quarter"), as reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the Quarter, was below the minimum shareholders' equity requirement of $2,500,000 (the "Shareholders' Equity Requirement"). The Notice had no immediate effect on our continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Shareholders' Equity Requirement (the "Compliance Plan"). Nasdaq may grant up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice for the Company to regain compliance with the Shareholders' Equity Requirement.
If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock would likely then trade only in the over-the- counter market. If our common stock were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our common stock could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; a determination that our shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our securities to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; a reduced amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock and would substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us.
Our financial condition raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue to operate as a going concern. These events and conditions, along with other matters, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern determination could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Further financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in generating sufficient revenues from our product sales to continue our operations as a going concern. If funds are not available to us, 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. This may raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
