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 Company’s 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 Prospectus on Form 424b, filed on May 16, 2022, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

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 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. On May 12, 2022, the Company accepted a notification of effectiveness from the SEC, and on May 17 completed its IPO. See note 1(d) below for further details. |
| b. | Following the December 2019 outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in China and after its spread into a large number of other countries, economic activity has suffered in many regions of the world, including in all markets of the Company (Americas, Europe and Asia as well as specifically Israel). Among other things, the pandemic disrupted supply chains, suppressed the volume of global transportation activity, prompted the Israeli and other governments worldwide to put in place restrictions on movement and employment, and resulted in a drop in the values of financial assets and commodities on global markets. As a result, the Company suffered and continues to suffer from delays in realization of new orders from its customers due to continued supply shortages and from price increases of raw material and other resources. To date, the Company adhered to all state and federal social distancing requirements while prioritizing health and safety for its employees. |
| c. | The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 as well as negative cash outflows from operating activities. The Company monitors its cash flow projections on a current basis. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, as a result of the May Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) transaction discussed in 1(d) below the Company believes it has the ability to fund its planned operations for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company expects to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and working capital until its products reach commercial profitability. Therefore, in order to fund the Company’s operations and working capital until such time that the Company can generate substantial revenues, the Company may need to use proceeds from raised capital. |

NOTE 2 – 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 or 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 June 30, 2022 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. These 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, 2021, as found in the Company’s prospectus, filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the 2022 fiscal year or any other interim period or for any other future year. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
| 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) | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |
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.
Restricted cash consists of cash held in restricted accounts, including cash held as collateral for guarantees to third parties and other, classified as current or long term based on the expected timing of the disbursement.
| d) | Treasury Shares |
Treasury shares represents ordinary shares repurchased by the Company that are no longer outstanding and are held by the Company. Treasury shares is accounted for under the cost method. Under this method, repurchase of ordinary shares was recorded as treasury shares at historical purchase price. At retirement, the ordinary shares account is charged only for the aggregate par value of the shares. The treasury shares have no rights.
| e) | Revenue recognition |
The Company's product consists of hardware and an embedded software that function together to deliver the product's essential 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 license.
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.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
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; (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 was 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.
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. For contracts that contain more than one identified performance obligation (such as when the product is sold with services and the management software), the Company determines standalone selling prices taking into account available information such as historical selling prices of each identified performance obligation, geographic location, and market conditions, and allocates the consideration based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each identified performance obligation. In term-based license arrangements (for the management software), the contracts also include the related services, and as such, the Company determines the stand-alone selling price of the term-base license based on a ratio from the perpetual management software license.
Revenue from selling the Company’s product and/or the software management (either as term-based or perpetual license) 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 is (e.g., product support service, software support service or extended warranty) are recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, as a time-based measure of progress best reflects our performance in satisfying this obligation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
The Company’s lease accounting policy from January 1, 2022, following the adoption of the new lease standard
The Company adopted the new lease standard and all the related amendments on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2022 and used the effective date as the Company’s date of initial application. Consequently, historical financial information was not updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2022.
Rental expense for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022 were $
The new lease standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits the Company not to reassess its prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under the new standard. The Company has also elected the practical expedient pertaining to the use of hindsight.
Operating lease ROU assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments.
The new lease standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with a term shorter than 12 months. This means, for those leases, The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, including not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition The Company also elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its real-estate leases.
Regarding leases denominated in a foreign currency, the related ROU assets are remeasured using the exchange rate in effect at the date of initial recognition; the related lease liabilities are remeasured using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period.
Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on changes in the CPI. Lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes in the CPI; instead, changes in the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the related obligation was incurred. The Company includes these variable payments in the initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability. On the effective date, the Company included, in the initial measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability, the lease payments based on the then-current CPI.
In lease agreements that include extension options, the lease term includes the options to extend the lease, only to the extent it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such extension options.

Sublease
In October 2021, the Company entered a sublease agreement for its offices in the USA. The Company applies the guidelines in ASC-842 regarding subleases, which states 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 and is included in the operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
| g) | Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering |
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction of equity.
The Company incurred offering costs amounting to approximately

| h) | 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 following table represents the fair value hierarchy for the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of:

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the fair values of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term 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.

The Company has major customers, representing:

| 2. | 19% and |
| 3. | 14% and |
The Company does not see any credit risk regarding this debt, as most of the remaining balance was paid off after the balance sheet date.
See note 11 for details regarding the revenues from these customers.
| j) | Accounting standards updates 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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a
financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022.
The Company's exposure to reference rate reform is due to royalties payments the Company is obligated to pay for research and development grants received from the Government of Israel (see note 8b). As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Israeli Innovation Authority ("IIA") has not determined an alternative benchmark rate to the LIBOR. However, the Company will consider this guidance as future modifications are made.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance.” ASU 2021-10 requires disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by a grant or contribution accounting model to increase transparency about the types of transactions, the accounting for the transactions, and the effect on the financial statements. The ASU is an annual disclosure effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not believe there will be a material impact.
In June 2020 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" ("ASU 2020-06"). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments, amends guidance on derivative scope exceptions for contracts in an entity's own equity and modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share calculations as a result of these changes. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
| k) | Reverse split |
On April 15, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Reverse Stock Split in the ratio of forty-six to-one. The Reverse Stock split became effective as of May 2, 2022.
The Company accounted for the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis pursuant to ASC 260. As a result, all common stock, Non-voting Common stock, Preferred stock and options outstanding and exercisable for common stock, exercise prices and income (loss) per share amounts have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, to reflect such Reverse Stock Split.

Prior to the IPO, discussed in further in Note 1(d), the Company has determined that the predominant scenario is the IPO event. The Company measured the convertible note in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as financial income or loss in accordance with ASC 480-10.
As of March 31, 2022, due to the lack of an active market, the fair value of the note was determined using a hybrid valuation methodology with a weighted average that combined Option Pricing Model (OPM) and Probability Weighted Expected Return Method (PWERM). As such, the fair value of the notes was categorized within Level 3 in accordance with ASC 820.

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 preferred stock or common stock in a qualified financing round. The number of series B convertible 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.
During December 2020 and November 2021, the Company issued warrants to Migdalor contemporaneously with obtaining a loan. The warrants can either be (1) converted into the Company’s common stock (the number of which shall be determined based on the warrant amount established in the contract and the Company’s valuation as defined in the contract, or based on a triggering event), at any time during a period of 96 months), or (2) redeemed for cash based on the lesser of a predetermined amount or a formula as set in the contract, at any time and in Migdalor’s own discretion, during a period of 96 months from the date of issue. These warrants were classified as liabilities mainly due to the redemption feature over the options.

Upon the consummation of the IPO (as further described in Note 1(d) above), the Company converted the outstanding warrants issued to Mizrahi and Migdalor into the Company’s common stock based on the contractual terms and conditions of the related warrant agreements.
Additionally, in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the change of the type of the stock from 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 June 30, 2022. 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.

Overview
Actelis is a networking solutions company with a mission to enable cyber secure, rapid deployment networking for all for wide-area Internet of Things, or IoT, projects, enabling applications in Smart Cities, Smart Campuses, airports, military bases, Smart Roads, Smart Rail, and utilities.
Our patented hybrid fiber-copper networking solutions deliver excellent communication over fiber to locations that may be easy to reach with new fiber. However, for locations that are difficult to reach with fiber, we can upgrade existing copper lines, to deliver cyber-hardened, high-speed connectivity without needing to replace the existing copper infrastructure with new fiber. We believe that such hybrid fiber-copper networking solution has distinct advantages in most real-life installations, providing significant budget savings and accelerating deployment of modern IoT networks. We believe that our solutions can provide connectivity over fiber or copper up to multi-Gigabit communication, while supporting Gigabit-Grade reliability and quality.
When high-speed, long reach, high reliability and secure connectivity is required, network operators usually resort to using wireline communication over physical communication lines rather than wireless communication that is more limited in performance, reliability and security. However, wireline communication infrastructure is costly, and often accounts for more than 50% of total cost of ownership (ToC) and time to deploy wide-area IoT projects.
Typically, providing new fiber connectivity to hard-to-reach locations is costly and time-consuming, often requiring permits for boring, trenching, and right-of-way. Connecting such hard-to-reach locations, may cause significant delays and budget overruns in IoT projects. Our solutions aim to solve these challenges.
By alleviating difficult challenges in connectivity, we believe that Actelis’ solutions are making a significant difference: effectively accelerating deployment of IoT projects, and making IoT projects more affordable and predictable to plan and budget.
Our solutions also offer end-to-end network security to protect critical IoT data, utilizing a powerful combination of coding and encryption technologies, applied as required on both new and existing infrastructure within the hybrid-fiber-copper network. Our solutions have been tested for performance and security by the U.S. Department of Defense, or the U.S. DoD, laboratories, and approved for deployment with U.S. Federal Government and U.S. defense forces.

As of June 30, 2022, we had more than 300 customers, such as cities, road and rail authorities, utilities and military organizations. We experienced an average annual sales growth in our IoT business of more than 20% each year from 2018 through 2021 in booking of orders from customers in the IoT market.
Since our inception, our business was focused on serving telecommunication service providers, also known as Telcos, providing connectivity for enterprises and residential customers. Our products and solutions have been deployed with more than 100 telecommunication service providers worldwide, in enterprise, residential and mobile base station connectivity applications. In recent years, as we have further developed our technology and rolled out additional products, we turned our focus on serving the wide-area IoT markets. Our operations are focused on our fast-growing IoT business, while maintaining our commitment to our existing Telco customers.
We currently have one outstanding loan with Migdalor Business Investments Fund, or Migdalor, which is secured by all our assets. As of June 30, 2022, the amount outstanding under the loan is $5.4 million (based on the NIS/USD exchange rate as of such date). If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may need to further refinance our debt, dispose of assets or issue equity to obtain necessary funds. We expect to continue repaying the principal and interest of the Migdalor Loan from our operating cash flow.
Initial Public Offering
On May 17, 2022, we closed our IPO of common shares, in which we sold a total of 4,212,500 shares of common stock at $4 per share, including 462,500 shares pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for total net proceeds of $15.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.4 million before additionally paid offering expenses of approximately $1.0 million amounting to proceeds available to the Company of $14.4 million.
Upon the closing of our IPO, all outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 7,731,083 shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. For additional information, see Note 1(e) to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
There continues to be widespread impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, there has been a trend in many parts of the world of increasing availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions. On the other hand, infection rates and regulations continue to fluctuate in various regions and there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including challenges and increases in costs for logistics and supply chains, such as increased port congestion, intermittent supplier delays and a shortfall of components’ supply. We have been affected by temporary manufacturing closures, employment and compensation adjustments and impediments to administrative activities supporting our product deliveries and deployments. COVID and its variants, could continue to adversely impact our business and the extent of the impact going forward depends on future developments of the pandemic and related governmental responses to those developments.
In addition, we have experienced and are experiencing varying levels of inflation resulting in part from various supply chain disruptions, increased shipping and transportation costs, increased raw material and labor costs and other disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and general global economic conditions. The inflationary impact on our cost structure and our operating expenses has contributed to adjustments in our product pricing, despite a continued focus on reducing our manufacturing costs where possible.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Revenues
Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $3.1 million, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase from the corresponding period was primarily attributable to an increase of $363,000 of revenues generated from North America as a result of increase in revenue from a service and software contract renewal, offset by a decrease of $208,000 in revenues generated from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as a result of a delay in supply, due to shortages.
Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $4.9 million, compared to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase from the corresponding period was primarily attributable to $555,000 of revenues generated from Europe, the Middle East offset by a decrease of $179,000 in revenues generated from North America and Asia Pacific.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, amounted to $1.2 million compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to product mix change.
Our cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, amounted to $2.45 million compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase from the corresponding period was mainly due to the increase in revenues, as well as a change in the product mix and an increase in the cost of components and manufacturing driven by supply shortages and shipment costs.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $0.7 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of a shift in the timing of our investment in research and development.
3
Our research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $1.3 million compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $0.8 million compared to $0.5 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase from the corresponding period was mainly associated with increased investments in sales and marketing, specifically in payroll expenses in the amount of $133,000, mainly due to hiring of sales and marketing employees, increase in commission expenses in the amount of $121,000 due to the higher revenues and increase in travel expenses in the amount of $59,000.
Our sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $1.6 million compared to $0.9 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in comparison with the corresponding period was mainly associated with increased sales compensation due to higher revenue of $193,000, increased investments in sales and marketing, specifically in payroll expenses in the amount of $263,000, mainly due to hiring of sales and marketing employees, increase in other professional services in the amount of $85,000 and increase in travel expenses in the amount of $72,000.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $1.07 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to payroll and professional services expenses attributed to our IPO, completed in May 2022.
Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $1.7 million compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to payroll and professional services expenses attributed to the work on the Company’s IPO.
Operating Loss
Our operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was $0.7 million, compared to an operating income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to a delay in supply, due to shortages, as well as higher expenses associated primarily with investment in sales and marketing and expenses attributed to the IPO.
Our operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $2.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to a delay in supply, due to shortages, as well as higher expenses associated primarily with investment in sales and marketing and expenses attributed to the IPO.
Financial Expenses, Net
Our financial expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.0 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred financial expenses mainly due to increases in fair value of various financial instruments, such as convertible loan, note and warrants in the amount of $1.4 million, and had income in the amount of $0.5 million, from exchange rates differences. Our financial expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $4.2 million compared to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred financial expenses mainly due to increases in fair value of various financial instruments, such as convertible loan, note and warrants in the amount of $4.5 million, and had income in the amount of $0.5 million, from exchange rates differences. Since all convertible loans and nearly all warrants we had outstanding converted to equity in connection with the IPO, we do not expect additional material financial expenses in future periods for these loans and warrants compared to those we incurred in 2020, 2021 and the first half of 2022.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $ 1.7 million, compared to net loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase in financial expenses, resulting from the increases in fair value of various financial instruments, as well as an increase in operating expenses mainly due to investment in sales and marketing, as well as expenses attributed to our IPO.
4
Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $6.3 million, compared to net loss of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase in financial expenses, resulting from the increases in fair value of various financial instruments, as well as an increase in operating expenses mainly due to investment in sales and marketing, as well as expenses attributed to our IPO.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, and backlog of customer open orders are Non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we provide Non-GAAP 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.
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 reference measures of performance that cannot yet be reflected in our financial results such as backlog of customer open orders. 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.

Backlog of Customer Open Orders
Our backlog of customer open orders consists of product orders for which we have received a customer purchase order, and which have not yet been shipped. Orders are generally not subject to cancellation or rescheduling by the customer. We believe the review of backlog of customer open orders together with revenues is useful supplemental information to investors because it provides important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees and optimizes our business operations on a day-to-day basis. As of June 30, 2022, our firm backlog of customer open orders was $4 million and as of June 30, 2021, our firm backlog of customer open orders was $4.85 million. In almost all cases, the backlog of customer open orders has been caused by the current global delays in supply in electronic components. We expect the majority of the backlog of customer open orders as of June 30, 2022 to be shipped during 2022.

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 principal sources of liquidity following our IPO in May 2022 as discussed below under Initial Public Offering, are expected to be the net proceeds from this offering as well as cash generated from our operations.
6
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 widespread COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
For the year to date in 2022, we have incurred substantial costs and expenses to build our infrastructure and prepare for growth, which included incurring legal and accounting fees in preparation for its IPO, which was completed in May 2022.
Our revenues for the three and six months ended June 2022 increased by 1.8% and 8.2%, respectively, over revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as product demand continued to rise, and as we made some progress in resolving supply shortages. In addition, backlog of customer open orders remained high, as of June 30, 2022 as we had a balance of $4.0 million, compared to a balance of $4.9 million as of June 30, 2021, representing a decrease of 17.6%, driven by faster delivery of delayed orders as we partially overcome supply chain shortages in 2022.
Cash Flows
The table below, for the periods indicated, provides selected cash flow information:
| (U.S. dollars in thousands) | Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 | ||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (3,782 | ) | $ | (1,549 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (87 | ) | (2 | ) | ||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 16,221 | 1,878 | ||||||
| Net change in cash | $ | 12,352 | $ | 327 | ||||
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $13.1 million compared to $0.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2021.
Cash used in operating activities amounted to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cash used in operating activities was mainly due to increase in operating expenses, as well as our IPO expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.09 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash used in investing activities of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase from the corresponding period was mainly due to change in short term deposits and purchasing of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended June 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 1(d) and 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
7
Initial Public Offering
On May 17, 2022, the Company completed its IPO. See Note 1(d) of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Net proceeds from the IPO totaled $15.4, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.4. Additionally, the Company paid offering expenses of approximately $1.0 million, amounting to proceeds available to the Company of $14.4 million.
In connection with the IPO and as discussed in Note 1(d) to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the following transactions occurred in the second quarter of 2022: (i) The redeemable convertible Series A and Series B Preferred Stock were converted into an aggregate of 7,731,083 shares of common stock; (ii) The convertible notes and convertible loan were converted into an aggregate of 2,538,257 shares of common stock, (iii) The outstanding warrants issued to Migdalor and Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank were converted into an aggregate 797,567 shares of common stock, (iv) 1,783,773 of Non-Voting Common Stock were redeemed by the Company at par value of $0.0001 per share and (v) we incurred approximately $1.0 million of IPO expenses. Additionally, 294,875 warrants to purchase common stock were issued upon the IPO to the underwriters at a conversion price of $5.00 per share.
We believe that as a result of the IPO, as can be seen in the financial instrument restructuring that occurred in connection therewith as described above, we currently have sufficient cash to meet our expected funding requirements over the next twelve months. However, we have experienced, and we continue to experience, negative operating margins and cash outflows from operating activities. We may need to raise additional capital in the future to expand our presence in the marketplace and achieve operating efficiencies, and to accomplish our long-term business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months.
We may need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Additional capital would be used to accomplish the following:
| ● | finance our current operating expenses; | |
| ● | pursue growth opportunities; | |
| ● | hire and retain qualified management and key employees; | |
| ● | respond to competitive pressures; | |
| ● | comply with regulatory requirements; and | |
| ● | maintain compliance with applicable laws. |
Current conditions in the capital markets are such that traditional sources of capital may not be available to us when needed or may be available only on unfavorable terms. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and a number of other factors, many of which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully raise additional capital at all or on terms that are acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in substantial dilution for our current stockholders. The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then-outstanding. We may issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock in connection with hiring or retaining personnel, option or warrant exercises, future acquisitions or future placements of our securities for capital-raising or other business purposes. The issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline and existing stockholders may not agree with our financing plans or the terms of such financings. In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition. Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to curtail our development activities and growth plans and/or be forced to sell assets, perhaps on unfavorable terms, or we may have to cease our operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
8
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
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. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies include revenue from contracts with customers which is more fully described in the notes to our to condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q 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 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.
9
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 June 30, 2022 were not effective as of June 30, 2022. 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, 2021 and 2020 and as disclosed in our Prospectus filed with the SEC on May 17, 2022 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, 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, 2021. 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 |
10
| ● | 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. |
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 June 30, 2022.
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 June 30, 2022 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.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our prospectus, dated May 12, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Prospectus in connection with our IPO. Our business involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our Prospectus, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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. 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
| a. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
Convertible Notes
From December 2021 through April 2022, we offered up to $3.0 million of our 6% convertible notes due three years from the date of execution, or the Notes. The Notes were subject to optional and mandatory conversion into shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value. We closed a private placement of $2,160,200 convertible notes in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 506(b) of the Securities Act. Boustead Securities, LLC. (the “Underwriter”) acted as placement agent in the private placement and received commissions of $151,214, plus expenses and five-year warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 7% of number of shares of common stock into which the Notes convert. The Notes could be converted at any time by the holders into common stock. The conversion price for the Notes was at a 40% discount (and no less than $2.40 per share). The Notes were converted into 900,096 shares of Common Stock as a result of the IPO. We believe that the issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 506(b) of the Securities Act.
Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion of Preferred Stock
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, on May 16, 2022, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which authorized a total of 42,803,774 shares consisting of 30,000,000 shares of common stock, 2,803,774 shares of non-voting common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, 7,731,083 outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock were converted into 7,731,083 shares of common stock. The issuance of such shares of our common stock was exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
| b. | Use Of Proceeds |
On May 12, 2022, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC for our IPO. We began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 13, 2022, and the transaction formally closed on May 17, 2022. In connection with our IPO, we issued and sold an aggregate of 4,212,500 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share, including 462,500 shares sold pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The sole book-running manager for the IPO was Boustead Securities, LLC.
Upon the closing of the IPO, we issued an underwriter’s warrant to Boustead Securities, LLC entitling it to purchase 294,875 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. We received net proceeds of approximately $15.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.4 million and additionally paid offering expenses of approximately $1.0 million amounting to proceeds available to the Company of $14.4 million. No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to non-employee directors pursuant to our director compensation policy, except for an aggregate amount of $210,000, paid to both our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as disclosed in the Prospectus.
The offer and sale of our common stock units in our IPO was effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-264321).
There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4).
