NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
InspireMD, Inc., formerly Saguaro Resources, Inc., (hereafter - the “Company”), a public company, is a Delaware corporation formed on February 29, 2008.  On March 28, 2011, the Company changed its name to InspireMD, Inc.
 
On December 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (hereafter - the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company and InspireMD Ltd., a limited company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel in April 2005.  Subsequent to the date of execution of the Exchange Agreement, shareholders of InspireMD, Ltd., holding 91.7% of InspireMD Ltd.’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, executed a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and became parties thereto (hereafter - the “InspireMD Shareholders”).  Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on March 31, 2011, the InspireMD Shareholders transferred all of their ordinary shares in InspireMD Ltd. to the Company in exchange for 46,471,907 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company (hereafter - the “Initial Share Exchange”).  In addition, the remaining holders of InspireMD Ltd.’s ordinary shares separately transferred all of their ordinary shares of InspireMD Ltd. to the Company, in exchange for an aggregate of 4,194,756 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company (hereafter - the “Follow Up Share Exchange” and, together with the Initial Share Exchange, the “Share Exchange”).  As a result of the Share Exchange, InspireMD Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by InspireMD Ltd., for the net monetary assets of the Company.  Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company reflect the historical operations and financial statements of InspireMD Ltd.
 
The Company, together with its subsidiaries, is a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of its proprietary stent platform technology, MGuard™.  MGuard™ provides embolic protection in stenting procedures by placing a micron mesh sleeve over a stent.  The Company’s initial products are marketed for use in patients with acute coronary syndromes, notably acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and saphenous vein graft coronary interventions (bypass surgery).  The Company markets its products through distributors in international markets, mainly in Europe and Latin America.
 
In addition, the Company operates in Germany through its wholly-owned subsidiary InspireMD GmbH, a German limited liability company incorporated in November 2007, where the Company subcontracts the manufacturing of its stents.
 
Management of the Company believes that funds available at December 31, 2011, together with anticipated cash flows, will fund the Company’s operations through the second quarter of 2013. Thereafter, to fund operations or to expand the breadth of the Company’s present business, it will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity securities or otherwise.  Future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including its ability to successfully commercialize its MGuardTM products, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product offerings. However, the Company may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when needed or raise capital on favorable terms. The terms of any securities issued by the Company in future financings 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.  If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to curtail operations significantly, possibly postpone or halt our US Food and Drug Administration clinical trial or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
