NOTES TO CONOSLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL:
| a. | Actelis Networks, Inc. (hereafter -the Company) was established in 1998, under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Actelis Networks Israel Ltd. (hereafter – the Subsidiary). The Company is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of cyber hardened, hybrid fiber, networking solutions for IoT and Telecommunication governmental agencies and companies. The Company’s customers include governmental agencies, providers of telecommunication services, enterprises as well as resellers of the Company’s products. On May 12, 2022, the Company accepted a notification of effectiveness from the SEC, and on May 17, 2022, completed its IPO. The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ. |
| b. | The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations, net comprehensive loss was $4,374 and $6,286 for the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of $6,549 and $6,577 respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $44 million. The Company has funded its operations to date through equity and debt financing and has cash on hand (including restricted cash equivalents) of $2.3 million and long-term restricted bank deposits of $91 and long term deposit of $86 as of December 31, 2024. The Company monitors its cash flow projections on a current basis and takes active measures to obtain the funding it requires to continue its operations. Additionally, the Company experienced significant growth in its revenues and gross margin from 2023 to 2024 while reducing its cost structure. However, these cash flow projections are subject to various uncertainties concerning their fulfilment such as the ability to continue to increase revenues and gross margin and reduce its operating cost and expenses. If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient cash flow or completing additional financing, including debt financing, then it will need to execute a new cost reduction plan in addition to previous cost reduction plans that were executed so far. The Company’s transition to profitable operations is dependent on generating a level of revenues adequate to support its cost and expense structure. The Company expects to fund operations using cash on hand, through operational cash flows and raising additional equity and debt funds as well as improving its gross margin through better revenue mix and generating other efficiencies. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to generate the revenue necessary to support its cost and expense structure or that it will be successful in obtaining the level of financing necessary for its operations. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions and has determined that the Company does not have sufficient resources to meet its operating obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
| c. | On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists initiated a series of terror attacks targeting both civilian and military sites in Southern and Central Israel, prompting a response from the Israel Defense Forces. Additionally, Hezbollah and the Houthi movement launched attacks on military and civilian locations in Israel, leading to further Israeli responses, including intensified air and ground operations in Lebanon. The Houthi movement also targeted international shipping lanes in the Red Sea. On April 13, 2024, and again on October 1, 2024, Iran carried out drone and missile strikes against Israel, to which Israel responded. The conflicts in both Lebanon as well as Gaza are in a state of cease fire under accords signed between the parties. Recently, the accord has been broken. However, the duration and intensity of the ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Northern Israel, Lebanon, and the broader region remain uncertain. As of the signing date, our operations and financial results have not been significantly impacted, though, as of March 24, 2025, two of our employees has been called to reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces from time to time, which has not been materially affecting our operation. We do not anticipate any short-term material impact on our business performance due to the ongoing conflicts in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and the security situation in Israel. However, as this is an unpredictable event, its continuation or resolution could influence our expectations. We are closely monitoring political and military developments and assessing their potential impact on our operations, financial performance, and overall business condition. |
| d. | The company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to the company’s failure to meet the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement or any alternatives to such requirement. In order to maintain listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the company has submitted a plan of compliance addressing how we intended to regain compliance. The company had until February 21, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement. On March 27, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq due to its non-compliance with the Equity Rule unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel. Following the hearing, on June 10, 2024, the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing subject to the Company evidencing compliance with the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement by August 27, 2025. Additionally, on May 20, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires the Company's common stock to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. On June 20, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that, for 10 consecutive business days from June 5, 2024, to June 28, 2024, the closing bid price of its common stock had been at or above $1.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and Nasdaq considers the prior bid price deficiency matter closed |
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
| a. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
| b. | Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates on an ongoing basis its assumptions, including those related to Fair value of financial instruments, inventory write-offs, as well as in estimates used in applying the revenue recognition policy. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgment, and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| c. | Functional currency |
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its Subsidiary are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Therefore, the functional currency of the Company and its Subsidiary is the dollar. In determining the appropriate functional currency to be used, the Company reviewed factors relating to sales, costs and expenses, financing activities and cash flows.
Transactions and balances denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been re-measured to dollars in accordance with the provisions of ASC 830-10-20, “Foreign Currency Translation”. All transaction gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statement of comprehensive loss as Other financial income, net, as appropriate.
| d. | Principles of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
| e. | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value.
| f. | Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits |
Restricted cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and cash equivalents held in restricted accounts, classified as current or non-current based on the expected timing of the disbursement. Restricted deposits consist of deposits held in restricted deposit bank accounts including deposits held as collateral for guarantees to third parties and others, classified as current or non-current based on the expected timing of the disbursement.
| g. | Treasury Shares |
Treasury shares represent ordinary shares repurchased by the Company that are no longer outstanding and are held by the Company. Treasury shares are presented as a reduction of shareholders’ equity, at their cost to the Company. The treasury shares have no rights.
| h. | Trade Receivables, net |
Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, are mostly unsecured and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for credit losses. The Company estimates CECL on trade receivables at inception for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments, based on estimated current expected credit losses. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering historical information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations.
On this basis, management has determined that an allowance for credit losses of $168 as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
Expenses for allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 were 0 and $43, respectively.
| i. | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at a lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, excess inventories, discontinued products, new products introduction and for market prices lower than cost. Any write-off is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as cost of revenues. In addition, if required, the Company records a liability for firm non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments with contract manufacturers for quantities in excess of the Company’s future demands forecast consistent with its valuation of excess and obsolete inventory.
Cost is determined as follows:
Raw materials and finished products- using the weighted average cost method.
| j. | Property and equipment, net |
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and the related gain or loss is reported in the statement of comprehensive loss.
The useful lives of the assets are as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Computers, software and electronic equipment | Mainly 3 |
| Office furniture and equipment | 7 |
| Leasehold improvements | By the shorter of lease term and the estimated useful life of the asset |
| k. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Company evaluates long-lived assets, such as property and equipment with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company identifies impairment of long-lived assets when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the assets, if any, are less than the carrying value of the assets. If the Company identifies an impairment, the Company reduces the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.
| l. | Revenue recognition |
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; (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 Company’s customers are comprised of end-users, resellers, system integrators and distributors.
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 the 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 or more years and is paid for either up front or on a quarterly basis.
Sales of products
The Company’s products consist of hardware and embedded software that work together to deliver the products' essential functionality. The embedded software is essential to the functionality of the Company’s products. The Company’s products are generally sold with a two-year warranty covering repairs or replacements in the event of damage or failure during the warranty period, which is accounted for as a standard warranty. Services related to the 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.
Most of the Company’s contracts involve a single performance obligation (sales of the product with a standard warranty), and thus the entire transaction price is allocated to that single performance obligation. In some cases, the Company's product contracts also include services such as product support service. In these contracts, the Company has identified two performance obligations, which include the product and the support service. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price within the total consideration of the contract.
Customers may request an extension period of the warranty for period ending, after the standard warranty’s period stated in the contract. The extended warranty is a separate performance obligation since it is provided for a period that exceeds the standard two-year warranty and it is sold and negotiated separately with the customer.
Sales of EMS software with related services
The Company also offers its customers EMS management software. The Company sells its other non-embedded software either as perpetual or as term-based licenses. The Company provides to certain customers (in term based licenses agreement and in some of the perpetual agreements) product support services which include telephone support, remote diagnostics and access to on-site technical support personnel.
For contracts that contain more than one identified performance obligation (primarily 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 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.
The stand-alone selling price of the related service is based on the Company’s best estimates of the price at which the Company would have sold the related service on a stand-alone basis.
The Company also, provides, to certain customers through the support service contracts, 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.
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
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.
| m. | Cost of revenues |
Cost of revenues includes cost of materials, costs associated with packaging, assembly and testing costs, as well as cost of personnel (including share-based compensation), shipping costs, inventory write down, royalties, costs of logistics and quality assurance, access to on-site technical support personnel as well as warranty expenses and other expenses associated withmanufacturing support.
| n. | Basic and diluted net loss per share |
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of $0.0001 which are exercisable immediately and fully vested RSUs outstanding during the period, net of treasury shares. In computing diluted loss per share, basic loss per share is adjusted to take into account the potential dilution that could occur upon: (i) the exercise of options and non-vested RSUs granted under employee stock compensation plans, and the exercise of warrants using the treasury stock method; and (ii) the conversion of the warrants classified as lability, by adding to net loss the change in the fair value of the warrants and by adding the weighted average number of shares issuable upon assumed conversion of these warrants using the treasury stock method.
| o. | 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.
The Company measured the fair value of the warrants (see note 10) based on Level 3 inputs, and the warrants liability amounted is 0 as of December 31, 2024, and $8 thousands as of December 31, 2023. The warrants liability are presented in the Other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the fair values of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term deposits, Restricted bank deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, long-term loan and restricted cash approximated the carrying values of these instruments presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because of their nature.
| p. | Concentrations of credit risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, trade receivables and Restricted bank deposits. 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 Governmental authorities such as municipalities, military and other federal agencies, enterprises and telecommunication operators, as well as the Company’s reseller customers 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 consolidated financial statements. Management makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable and provides allowances for the applicable portion of accounts receivable when collection becomes doubtful.
Management provides allowances based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices, analysis of its historical collection experience, and current economic trends. If the historical data used to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the Company’s future ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed, and the future results of operations could be materially affected.
The Company has customers balances representing 10% or more of Trade receivables as follows:
| 1. | Customer A- 1% and 30% of the Company Trade receivables balance as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. |
| 2. | Customer B- 5% and 11% of the Company Trade receivables balance as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. |
| 3. | Customer C- 3% and 11% of the Company Trade receivables balance as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. |
| 4. | Customer D- 39% and 0.1% of the Company Trade receivables balance as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. |
See note 14 for details regarding the revenues from these customers.
The Company does not see any credit risk regarding this balance, as most of the remaining balance was paid off after the balance sheet date.
| q. | Warranty costs |
The Company’s products generally include a standard warranty oftwo years for product defects. The Company accrues for warranty at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimates of future warranty obligations may change due to product failure rates, material usage, and other rework costs incurred in correcting a product failure. In addition, specific warranty accruals may be recorded if unforeseen problems arise. The provision for warranty amounted to $57 and $47 as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These provisions are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
| r. | Sales and marketing expenses |
Sales and marketing expenses include such expenses for the company’s sales teams, business development activities, sales engineering, and customer support.
| s. | Research and development costs |
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include compensation for engineers, external services, and material costs associated with new product development, bug fixing and enhancement of current products.
| t. | Shipping and handling |
The Company classifies shipping and handling charged to customers as revenues and classifies costs relating to shipping and handling as cost of revenues.
| u. | Government grants and related royalties |
The Company is paying royalties to the government of Israel for funding received for research and development in the past. Royalties are calculated and paid at a rate of 3% of the applicable revenues. During 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company incurred royalty expenses of $229 and $168, included within cost of revenues (see note 9).The Company has not applied for any new funding from the government of Israel for research and development during 2024.
| v. | Segments |
Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), oversees the Company’s business activities as asingle operating and reportable segment at the consolidated level. Accordingly, the CODM evaluates segment performance, allocates resources, and measures profit or loss based on consolidated net loss. Additionally, the CODM monitors and manages the Company’s operations by reviewing functional expenses—including cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses—at the consolidated level.
| w. | Income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes the use of the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company implements a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any liabilities in any reported periods regarding uncertain tax positions.
Taxes which would apply in the event of disposal of investment in foreign subsidiary have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, since the Company’s intention is to hold, and not to realize the investment.
| x. | Employee related benefits: |
Severance pay
The Company’s liability for severance pay for its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to the Israeli Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Employees whose employment is terminated by the Company or who are otherwise entitled to severance pay in accordance with Israeli law or labor agreements are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company’s liability for all of its Israeli employees is partly provided for by monthly deposits for insurance policies and the remainder by an accrual. The accrued value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Such deposits are not considered to be “plan assets” and are therefore included in “Severance pay fund” in the consolidated balance sheets.
During April and May 2008 (the “transition date”), the Company amended the contracts of most of its Israeli employees so that starting on the transition date, such employees are subject to Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963 (“Section 14”) for severance pay accumulated in periods of employment subsequent to the transition date. Pursuant to Section 14, these employees are entitled to monthly deposits made by the Company on their behalf with insurance companies. These deposits are not recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet, and there is no liability recorded as the Company does not have a future obligation to make any additional payments. The Company’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged to the consolidated statements of Comprehensive loss as and when the services are received from the Company’s employees.
For the Company’s employees in Israel that began employment prior to Article 14, the Company calculates the liability for severance pay based on the most recent salary of these employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the Article 14 inception date. These liabilities are presented under “Accrued severance pay” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The carrying value for the deposited funds for the Company’s employees’ severance pay for employment periods prior to the transition date includes profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date.
The amounts of contribution plans expenses were approximately $175 for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.
The Company expects to contribute approximately $175 in the year ending December 31, 2025, to insurance companies in connection with its contribution plans.
401(k) profit sharing plans
The Company offers its employees a savings plan in the United States that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the current Internal Revenue Code as a “safe harbor” plan. The Company must makes a mandatory contribution to the 401(k) plan to satisfy certain nondiscrimination requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. This mandatory contribution is made to all eligible US based employees.
| y. | Share-based compensation |
Share-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards, including share options and restricted share units (“RSUs”), is determined based on the grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs net of actual forfeitures and recognizes compensation cost for all options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term offour years andthree years for the RSUs.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation arrangements with non-employees based on the estimated fair value of the equity instrument using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation cost is recognized over the period that the services are provided, and the award is earned by the counterparty.
The Company follows ASC 718 to determine whether a share-based payment should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All grants of share-based awards to employee classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values which are calculated using the Black-Scholes Option-pricing model.
For options and RSU’s with graded vesting, the Company has elected a fair-value-based measure of the entire award by using a single weighted-average expected term.
The Company records forfeitures for share-based payments awards as they occur.
Share-based compensation classified as mezzanine equity
Share-based compensation subject to possible redemption are classified as mezzanine equity based on the guidance provided under ASC 480-10-S99-3A and SAB Topic 14E. See also Note 11d for additional information on share-based compensation granted to the underwriter in connection with an offering of common stocks and warrants.
| z. | Warrants |
Common stock warrants
The Company accounts for its warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, or meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. See note 11.
Warrants issued in connection with obtaining loans and/or securing credit facilities.
Warrants issued in connection with obtaining a loan or securing a credit facility are considered deferred issuance costs. Deferred issuance costs for obtaining a loan are reflected as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related loan and are amortized using the effective interest method.
| aa. | Commitments and contingencies |
The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”). A provision is recorded when it is both probable that liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.
| bb. | Reverse stock split |
On March 8, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an Reverse Stock Split in the ratio often-to-one. The Reverse Stock split became effective as of April 18, 2023.
The Company accounted for the Reverse Stock Splits on a retroactive basis. 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 consolidated financial statements and the applicable disclosures, to reflect such Reverse Stock Splits.
| cc. | Leases |
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Balances related to operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, Current maturities of operating leases liabilities and non-current operating leases liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Leases primarily consist of real estate property and vehicles and are classified as operating leases with fixed payment terms. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and records the leases upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease expenses for the operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Options to extend or terminate the lease are taken into account when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that such options will be exercised. The Company elected to apply for the short-term lease exemption for lease with a non-cancelable period of twelve months or less. Additionally, the Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. On the commencement date, lease payments that include variable lease payments dependent on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate), are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date. Such variable payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. These variable payment amounts were not material to the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in its leases is not readily determinable. Sublease In October 2021, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for its offices in the United States. The Company applies the guidelines in ASC-842 regarding subleases, which state that the classification should be based on the underlying asset being subleased and concluded that the sublease is an operating lease where the Company is the Lessor. The sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term less any allowances for doubtful collection of rent and is included in the operating expenses, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
| dd. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted:
As an emerging growth company, the Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense and ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, general and administrative, and research and development). The ASU is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

The Comerica Warrants are still outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

2 year July Warrants:
| 2 Years July Warrants | |
|---|---|
| Term | 2 years |
| Dividend | - |
| Expected volatility | 61.60% |
| Risk-free rate | 3.86% |
| Stock price | $1.65 |
In accordance with ASC Topic 815 guidance on equity classified warrant modifications, the incremental change in fair value of the induced warrants was accounted for as an additional equity issuance cost for the warrant inducement, which was recorded to additional paid-in capital.
Offering Costs related to warrant inducement agreement July 2024:
Upon the consummation of the warrant inducement agreement and pursuant to an agreement entered into with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Underwriter”), the Company has paid in cash to the Underwriter (and the escrow agent) a total amount of $271. The Company has also granted to the Underwriter upon the consummation of the warrant inducement, warrants to purchase up to 69,977 of the Company’s common stocks which carry the same terms as the July Warrants described above, except for the exercise price which reflect 125% of the reduced exercise price of the June Warrants ($2.50). The warrants are classified as mezzanine equity based on the guidance provided under ASC 480-10-S99-3A and SAB Topic 14. E.
As of the issuance date of the underwriter warrants, the fair value of the warrants was estimated at $27. The valuation was based on a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using an expected volatility of 61.60% a risk-free rate of 3.86% contractual term of 2 years, respectively, and a stock price at the issuance date of 1.65$.
The total offering costs (including the inducement effects) in the amount of approximately $1,429 was recognized in equity.

| g. | Stock repurchase program: |
On November 17, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company intends to repurchase up to $1.0 million of its outstanding common stock.

Repurchases under the share repurchase program will be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and our financial performance. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any particular number of shares.

| h. | Share-based compensation: |
On June 30, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2015 Plan”).
Under the 2015 Plan, the Board of Directors approved the granting of Incentive Share Options, Non-statutory shares options, share appreciation rights, restricted share and restricted share units (RSU’s) to employees, directors, and consultants. The exercise price of an option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share of common stock on the date of grant for incentive share options (not less than 110% of the fair market value for shareholders owning more than 10% of all classes of share) as determined by the Board of Directors. The maximum option term is 10 years (five years for shareholders owning more than 10% of all classes of share). The 2015 Plan grants the Board of Directors the discretion to determine when the options granted become exercisable.
Pursuant to the current Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance, which came into effect on January 1, 2003, options and RSUs may be granted through a trustee (i.e., Approved 102 Options) or not through a trustee (i.e., Unapproved 102 Options). The Subsidiary elected to grant its options and RSU’s through a trustee. As a result, the Subsidiary will not be allowed to claim as an expense for tax purposes in Israel the amounts credited to the employee as capital gains to the grantees, although it will generally be entitled to do so in respect of the salary income component (if any) of such awards when the related tax is paid by the employee.

| c. | Carryforward tax losses: |
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,966. In addition, the Company has loss carry forward of approximately $4,410, which the Company did not perform a qualification test for and has certain doubts regarding their qualification, and therefore the Company has not recorded deferred tax assets due to these losses.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s subsidiary has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $124.1 million. Net operating loss carry forwards relating to activity in Israel have an indefinite carry forward period.
Utilization of the U.S. federal and state net operating losses may be subject to a substantial limitation due to the change in ownership limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar to state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating losses and credits before their utilization.

| Total | (4,374) | (6,286) |
| e. | Reconciliation of the theoretical tax expense to actual tax expense: |
The main reconciling item between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective rate is the provision for a full valuation allowance in respect of tax benefits from carry forward tax losses due to the uncertainty of the realization of such tax benefits.
| f. | The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the United States and Israel. Due to unutilized net operating losses and research credits, the tax years from 2017 remain open and subject to examinations by the appropriate governmental agencies in the United States. For the Company’s subsidiary, the tax years from 2018and later remain open for examination by the tax authorities. |

NOTE 13 - BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE:
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants and fully vested RSUs outstanding during the period, net of treasury shares. In computing diluted loss per share, basic loss per share is adjusted to take into account the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options and RSUs granted under employee stock compensation plans, and the exercise of warrants using the treasury stock method.
Diluted loss per share excludes 4,602,053 shares underlying outstanding warrants,62,678 shares underlying outstanding options, and 36,254 shares underlying outstanding RSUs for twelve months ended December 31, 2024, because the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be antidilutive.
Diluted loss per share excludes 1,047,589 shares underlying outstanding warrants,90,377 shares underlying outstanding options, and 72,945 shares underlying outstanding RSUs for twelve months ended December 31, 2023, because the effect of their inclusion in the computation would be antidilutive.
The table below shows the reconciliation of the number of shares in the computation of basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common shareholders:
