Before investing in our common stock, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus and the information set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” When used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to LabStyle Innovations Corp., a Delaware corporation, collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiary, LabStyle Innovation Ltd., an Israeli corporation, which we sometimes refer to herein as LabStyle Israel.

 

Our Company

 

We have developed and are commercializing a patent-pending technology that seeks to bring laboratory testing capabilities to consumers in a distinctive, easy to use and affordable way through the use of smartphones such as iPhones and Androids as well as other mobile devices. We were formed in August 2011 as a Delaware corporation.

 

We are initially applying our technology to address the estimated $10 billion worldwide market for diabetic self-monitoring of blood glucose, or SMBG. Diabetes is a disease where insufficient levels, or a total absence, of the hormone insulin produces high levels of glucose in the bloodstream, which can lead to long term adverse effects on a patient’s blood vessels, which can lead to heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease and nerve damage. As part of controlling blood sugar, many patients must self monitor their blood glucose levels using home testing kits (called glucometers) and treat high and low blood sugar episodes accordingly to avoid the complications from the disease.

 

Our first product, DarioTM, is a comprehensive, patent-pending system that combines an all-in-one SMBG device consisting of a lancet (to obtain a blood sample), a device-specific disposable test strip cartridge and a smartphone-driven glucose reader adaptor, coupled with a smartphone app and cloud-based data services. Roughly the size of a pack of gum, we believe that Dario has the potential to replace stand alone glucose meters and their kits (lancing , lancets and strips vials) which are the current market standard, most of which have the necessary testing components separated from one another in what we believe is a cumbersome design. Moreover, all but a few glucometers lack an interface with a smartphone, and none will have the software applications associated with Dario, each of which we believe will distinguish Dario as an alternative in the marketplace.

 

We expect to launch Dario in the SMBG market after obtaining all applicable regulatory approvals. We began the regulatory approval process in Europe in 2012, and we expect to commence such process in the United States by the end of 2013. Such approvals will need to be obtained prior to the anticipated commercial launch of Dario, which is anticipated in 2013 in Europe and subsequently in North America and other jurisdictions. Based on our discussions with regulatory authorities in Europe and the knowledge and experience of our management on regulatory matters in the U.S., we believe that applicable regulatory approvals will be obtained in advance of our anticipated commercial launches for Dario.

Our proprietary technology (incorporated into Dario) provides a novel body-fluid testing apparatus for performing metered measurement of samples utilizing: (i) a lancing device to obtain a test sample (blood in the case of Dario); and (ii) an adaptor specifically designed to connect a strip designed to absorb the sample, which then produces an electric signal indicating the level of the substance tested for in the sample. The adaptor is then connected to a smartphone via the headphone jack, which allows the test signal to be transmitted to the smartphone, which will then utilize our software application to obtain and display the test result on the device. This is coupled with a set of software features available via a smartphone application as well as internet-based services. We are presently pursuing patent applications in multiple jurisdictions covering the specific processes related to blood glucose level measurement as well as more general methods of rapid tests of body fluids using smartphones and cloud-based services.

 

Although we are initially targeting only the large and growing SMBG market, we believe our invention has the potential to cover dozens of laboratory tests of bodily fluids (including blood, urine and saliva) that could potentially be undertaken using a smartphone, including blood coagulation, cholesterol, HIV and others.

 

Our Initial Product — DarioTM

 

Overview

 

Our first product, Dario, will target the large and growing SMBG market. Dario is an all-in-one device that includes the glucose reader which is connected to a smartphone via the phone jack, along with a lancing device (a reusable blood-sampling device, when loaded with a disposable lancet) and an integrated, disposable cartridge for test strips. We believe Dario’s design is novel, highly distinctive and functional, and also conveys what we believe will be the modern, technology-driven appeal of Dario. We believe that Dario’s design will offer features that are similar to or superior to the most advanced meters in the market while having a smaller form factor than even the compact meters in the market.

 

Because of the product’s integration with the smartphone, Dario will allow test results to be sent and integrated with web-based medical repositories through our Dario smartphone application and, we anticipate, also through web-based services. We believe that Dario’s ease of use will cause prospective users to adopt the product, which could lead to increased blood glucose monitoring by patients. In short, Dario will epitomize our product motto — “Glucose Monitoring for the Mobile AgeTM.” The Dario application for Apple devices has been accepted by Apple for inclusion in the AppStore.

 

We have finalized the commercial design for Dario, which will combine in one device the lancing mechanism, disposable strip cartridge and glucose monitor and attached plug (which plug has a small form factor for insertion into the smartphone audio jack). Based on this design, during the second quarter of 2013, we manufactured through a third party an initial batch of a few dozen Dario devices and cartridges, and in May 2013, we used these products in order to conclude an over 200 patient clinical trial which met its endpoints. We have used these trial results in our regulatory submissions in the EU and expect to use these results in connection with our regulatory filings in the U.S.

 

In addition, we have developed both the critical software that will enable Dario to integrate with the iPhone and Android platform, as well as the backend test result data collection component of the Dario system, and these will be in place to support the anticipated commercial launch of Dario, although we expect to refine and augment such software and systems over time. Also, we have agreements or work order arrangements in place with commercial scale manufacturers to produce both the Dario devices and the associated test strips in order to support our anticipated launches for the product.

 

The SMBG Market

 

We will initially be focusing on launching Dario in Europe in 2013, and subsequently in North America and other jurisdictions. The diabetes and SMBG markets worldwide and in these submarkets are substantial and growing.

According to International Diabetes Foundation (IDF), some 366 million people worldwide, or 8.3% of adults, were estimated to have diabetes in 2011. About 80% live in low- and middle-income countries. If these trends continue, it is expected that by 2030, some 552 million people, or one adult in 10, will have diabetes. In Europe, the diabetic population was approximately 52.6 million in 2011 according to IDF, and there were approximately 25.8 million diabetics in the U.S. in 2011 according to the American Diabetes Association.

 

According to Business Insights, the global diabetes device market was estimated to be worth $13.9 billion in 2010, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.6% from 2005 to 2010). In 2010, 71% of the market’s value was made up by the sales of glucose monitoring devices, mainly dominated by SMBG devices. The market for SMBG was $9.6 billion in 2010 and is forecast to reach $12.6 billion by 2016, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 4.6% from 2010 to 2016). The biggest drivers for growth in the diabetes device market will be the increased prevalence and awareness of diabetes. The U.S. is the largest market, contributing close to 40% of the global market for these devices. In fact, the SMBG testing market, which barely existed in 1980, now accounts for approximately a quarter of the entire in vitro diagnostics industry.

 

Key factors driving market growth include an increasing diabetic population, growing patient awareness, technological advancements, and an increasing number of patients adopting blood glucose self-monitoring. In addition, the affordable cost of blood glucose test strips, together with the continuing evolution towards more frequent daily blood glucose monitoring, are also expected to contribute to market growth. As such, SMBG represents a large market that has grown significantly over the past 30 years and is expected to continue to grow.

 

Marketing Strategy

 

Our initial market focus will be on younger, insulin-dependent diabetics (predominantly Type 1 patients), who are the heaviest users of glucose test strips. Although these patients represent a small subset for the overall diabetes market (as Type 1 diabetics only account for approximately 10% of all diabetic patients), we believe these patients will more readily adopt new mobile phone-based technologies. We plan to gradually broaden our marketing efforts toward the older population, where both insulin and non-insulin dependent Type 2 diabetes is even more prevalent, and patients with “pre-diabetes” (a growing healthcare problem whereby patients exhibit some, but not all, of the diagnostic criteria for diabetes). Although our plan will initially focus on insulin-dependent (in particular, Type 1 patients), diabetes patients who test themselves up to 10 times a day, we anticipate Dario’s ease of use and the lack of need for a special glucometer and lancing device will be of major appeal to the even larger Type 2 diabetes population, who typically check their blood glucose levels once or twice a day. Following anticipated initial market launches in the European market, we plan to explore launching Dario in the U.S. and in additional large markets such as Brazil, India and South Africa, possibly through marketing collaborations.

 

Dario will mainly be marketed directly to the target users. Instead of using traditional retail channels to market our products, we plan to offer Dario devices, strips and related software directly to consumers over the Internet. We will also utilize distribution partners in select jurisdictions. In April 2013, we signed an exclusive distribution agreement for our product with Farla Medical, Inc., a leading medical supplies distributor based in the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the three-year agreement, Farla will market and distribute Dario to primary-care medical practices, clinics, hospitals and patients throughout the United Kingdom and Belgium following our receipt of regulatory approvals. In June 2013, we entered into a similar exclusive distribution agreement with Harmonium Pharma covering Italy. Under the terms of the three-year agreement, Harmonium will, on an exclusive, non-transferable and revocable basis, market and distribute Dario at agreed upon prices to primary-care medical practices, clinics, hospitals and patients throughout Italy following our receipt of regulatory approvals. We and our partners plan to offer Dario at prices that are competitive to those of the current SMBG kits.

We also expect to collaborate with the medical community to showcase what we expect will be Dario’s clinical equivalence and usability superiority. In this regard, on April 28, 2013, we signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with a large, multispecialty academic medical center to advance the development of clinical diagnostics utilizing smartphones. 

 

Dario Revenue Model

 

Our revenues are expected to be derived from sales of Dario’s components, including the device itself, which will be priced similarly to blood glucose monitors in the marketplace, and principally from the recurring sale of our disposable cartridges with 25 test strips. Our customers will also receive access to our smartphone application and to our website, which will incorporate tools to help diabetic patients manage their disease. Importantly, our revenue model will be driven by the fact that only our test strips, purchased through us and our partners, will be able to be utilized with the Dario device and software, so it is our expectation that we will be the sole source for Dario compatible test strips. In addition to device and test strip related revenue, we anticipate generating revenue in the future from our ability to offer Dario’s subscribers additional products and services based on personalized recommendations, such as location-based, low-sugar food recommendations and the ability to send alerts to caregivers and family and friends. Moreover, the comprehensive data which will be gathered from the use of Dario’s platform by the end-users may enable the company, in the future, to have additional source of revenue.

 

Our Financial Condition

 

As of March 31, 2013, we had $294,897 in cash or cash equivalents and a total stockholders’ deficit accumulated since our inception of $11,298,791. We have not yet generated any revenues from our operations, and we currently have no sources of recurring revenue and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing our operations. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues or that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing to continue our operations. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed in its auditors’ report on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included as part of this prospectus a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not commence revenue generation or are unable to otherwise fund our business with outside capital, we likely would be unable to further our business plan. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders would lose their entire investment in our company.

 

However, we raised in an aggregate of $10,000,000 ($8,985,510 net of offering expenses) in our private placement which closed in May 2013 (which we refer to as the May 2013 Private Placement) and also received in June and July 2013 additional funding of $500,011 as part of the third and final tranche of a private placement which had its first closing in August 2012 (which we refer to as the August 2012 Private Placement). Moreover, during the first half of 2013, we received funds from several exercises of outstanding warrants. In addition, we may receive additional funding from the exercise of outstanding warrants. We plan to use the proceeds from these offerings primarily to support key manufacturing and marketing initiatives required for the anticipated 2013 commercial launch of Dario product in Europe. In addition to other shares of common stock described herein, pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we are registering for public resale the shares of common stock (and shares of common stock underlying warrants) issued to the investors in the May 2013 Private Placement and in the third tranche of the August 2012 Private Placement.

According to our management’s estimates, as a result of such fundraising, and based on our budget and the assumption that initial commercial sales will commence during our anticipated timeframes, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to continue our activity at least until the end of January 2014. However, if we are not able to commercially launch Dario or meet our commercial sales targets, and if we are unable to obtain additional capital resources, we may not be able to continue activities beyond that time.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following factors and other information in this prospectus before making a decision to invest in our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of may become important factors that affect us. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial conditions and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Company and Our Business

 

We were formed in August 2011 and are thus subject to the risks associated with new businesses.

 

We were formed in August 2011. As such, we are a development stage, “start-up” company with no history of revenue-generating operations, and our only assets consist of cash raised in our previous private placements and the intellectual property contributed to us by our founders on October 27, 2011 and subsequently developed by us. We have only a short operating history by which you can assess our company and our prospects. We are, and expect for the foreseeable future to be, subject to all the risks and uncertainties inherent in a new business and the development and sale of new medical devices. As a result, we still must establish many functions necessary to operate a business, including finalizing our managerial and administrative structure, continuing product and technology development, assessing and commencing our marketing activities, implementing financial systems and controls and personnel recruitment.

 

Accordingly, you should consider our prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their pre-revenue generating stages, particularly those in the medical device field. Potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties that a new company with a no operating history will face. In particular, potential investors should consider that there is a significant risk that we will not be able to:

 

·implement or execute our current business plan, or that our business plan is sound;

 

·maintain our anticipated management and advisory team;

 

·raise sufficient funds in the capital markets or otherwise to effectuate our business plan;

 

·determine that the processes and technologies that we have developed are commercially viable; and/or

 

·attract, enter into or maintain contracts with, and retain customers.

 

If we cannot execute any one of the foregoing, our business may fail, in which case you would lose the entire amount of your investment in our company.

 

6
 

 

Given our lack of revenue and cash flow, we will need to raise additional capital, which may be unavailable to us or, even if consummated, may cause dilution or place significant restrictions on our ability to operate.

 

According to our management’s estimates, based on our current cash on hand and further based on our budget and the assumption that initial commercial sales will commence during our anticipated timeframes, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to continue our activity at least until the end of January 2014. However, if we are not able to commercially launch Dario or our commercial sales targets, and if we are unable to obtain additional capital resources, we will not be able to continue activities beyond the end of 2013.

 

Since we might be unable to generate sufficient, if any, revenue or cash flow to fund our operations for the foreseeable future, we will likely need to seek additional equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our operations. We may also need additional funding for developing products and services, increasing our sales and marketing capabilities, promoting brand identity, and acquiring complementary companies, technologies and assets, as well as for working capital requirements and other operating and general corporate purposes. Moreover, the registration of the common stock issued in this offering for resale and regulatory compliance arising out of being a publicly registered company will dramatically increase our costs.

 

We do not currently have any arrangements or credit facilities in place as a source of funds, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of business opportunities and our operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

 

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders may be reduced, and accordingly these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity securities that provide for rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock.

 

Debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include liens on our assets, covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, could increase our expenses and require that our assets be provided as a security for such debt. Debt financing would also be required to be repaid regardless of our operating results.

 

If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or candidate products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

 

Funding from any source may be unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we do not have sufficient capital to fund our operations and expenses, we may not be able to achieve or maintain competitiveness, which could lead to the failure of our business and the loss of your investment.

 

We have not generated revenue and may not generate revenue in the manner in which we anticipate. Further, we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

 

To date, we have not generated revenue since our initial product, Dario, has not received regulatory approvals and is thus not ready for commercial sale. Although we expect to launch Dario in 2013, no assurances can be given that we will be able to do so in accordance with such time frame or at all. Because of the various risks and uncertainties associated with developing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing Dario, we are unable to predict with any certainty the extent of any future revenues, cash flows, profits or losses or when we will generate positive cash flow or become profitable, if at all. We expect that we will continue to incur significant and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we attempt to initiate and then expand our sales. These losses, among other things, will have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. Failure to generate revenue or achieve profitability would materially adversely affect the value of our company and our ability to establish and grow our business.

 

7
 

 

We can not accurately predict the volume or timing of any future sales, making the timing of any revenues difficult to predict.

 

We may be faced with lengthy customer evaluation and approval processes associated with our products. Consequently, we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management effort and expense in developing customer adoption of our products, which may not result in revenue generation. We must also obtain regulatory approval of Dario and approval for insurance reimbursement in order to initial sales of Dario, each of which is subject to risk and potential delays, and neither of which may actually occur. As such, we can not accurately predict the volume or timing of any future sales.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed in its report to our 2012 audited financial statements a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are an early stage company, and the development and commercialization of our product is uncertain and expected to require substantial expenditures. We have not yet generated any revenues from our operations to fund our activities, and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing our operations. There is a risk that we will be unable to obtain necessary financing to continue our operations on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed in its auditors’ report on the financial statements included as part of this prospectus a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the common stock.

 

We expect to derive substantially all of our revenues from our principal technology, which leaves us subject to the risk of reliance on such technology.

 

We expect to derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of products derived from our principal technology. Our initial product utilizing this technology is Dario. As such, any factor adversely affecting sales of Dario, including the product release cycles, regulatory issues, market acceptance, product competition, performance and reliability, reputation, price competition and economic and market conditions, would likely harm our operating results. We may be unable to develop other products utilizing our technology, which would likely lead to the failure of our business.

 

Moreover, if patent protection is not available for our principal technology, the viability of Dario and any other products that may be derived from such technology would likely be adversely impacted to a significant degree, which would materially impair our prospects.

 

Certain of our executive officers and directors may become subject to conflicts of interests given their association with other biotechnology or medical device businesses.

 

Certain of our directors and officers, including Dr. Fuerst and Mr. Stern, are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling stockholders and/or partners of or advisors to other entities engaged in a variety of businesses, including in the biotechnology or medical device sector. Thus, there is a risk that these individuals may become subject to conflicts of interest relating to our business given their participation with such other businesses, including, among other things, conflicts relating to time, effort and corporate opportunities. We do not presently have a formal policy for resolving such conflicts of interest should they arise, and the inability to resolve such conflicts should they arise could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our future performance will depend on the continued engagement of key members of our management team, some of whom are rendering service on a part-time basis.

 

Our future performance depends to a large extent on the continued services of members of our current management and other key personnel including, in particular, Dr. Oren Fuerst, our Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer, Shilo Ben Zeev, our President and Chief Operating Officer and Mordechi (Motty) Hershkowitz, our Chief Financial Officer. In the event that we lose the continued services of such key personnel for any reason, this could have a material adverse affect on our business, operations and prospects.

 

Moreover, Dr. Fuerst is not contractually required to spend a minimum amount of his business time on our company’s affairs. There is therefore a risk that other obligations could distract Dr. Fuerst and any of our other part time employees from our business, which could have a negative impact on our ability to effectuate our business plans.

 

If we are not able to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, scientific and technical personnel, we may not be able to implement our business model successfully.

 

We believe that our management team must be able to act decisively to apply and adapt our business model in the rapidly changing markets in which we will compete. In addition, we will rely upon technical and scientific employees or third party contractors to effectively establish, manage and grow our business. Consequently, we believe that our future viability will depend largely on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, scientific and technical personnel. In order to do so, we may need to pay higher compensation or fees to our employees or consultants than we currently expect and such higher compensation payments would have a negative effect on our operating results. Competition for experienced, high-quality personnel is intense and we cannot assure that we will be able to recruit and retain such personnel. We may not be able to hire or retain the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy. Our failure to hire and retain such personnel could impair our ability to develop new products and manage our business effectively.

 

We will be subject to the risk of reliance on third parties to conduct our clinical trial work.

 

We depend on independent clinical investigators to conduct our clinical trials. Contract research organizations may also assist us in the collection and analysis of data. These investigators and contract research organizations will not be our employees and we will not be able to control, other than by contract, the amount of resources, including time that they devote to products that we develop. If independent investigators fail to devote sufficient resources to or clinical trials, or if their performance is substandard, it will delay the approval or clearance and commercialization of any products that we develop. Further, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (or FDA) and other regulatory bodies around the world require that we comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practice, for conducting, recording and reporting clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights, integrity and confidentiality of trial subjects are protected. If our independent clinical investigators and contract research organizations fail to comply with good clinical practice, the results of our clinical trials could be called into question and the clinical development of our product candidates could be delayed. Failure of clinical investigators or contract research organizations to meet their obligations to us or comply with federal regulations could adversely affect the clinical development of our product candidates and harm our business.

We will rely on third parties to manufacture and supply our product candidates.

 

We do not own or operate manufacturing facilities for clinical or commercial production of Dario. We lack the resources and the capability to manufacture Dario on a commercial scale. If our manufacturing partners are unable to produce our products in the amounts that we require, we may not be able to establish a contract and obtain a sufficient alternative supply from another supplier on a timely basis and in the quantities we require. We currently depend, and expect to depend for the foreseeable future, on third-party contract manufacturers.

 

Dario requires, and our future product candidates, if any, likely will require precise, high quality manufacturing. Any of our contract manufacturers will be subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspection by the FDA and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities to ensure strict compliance with quality system regulations, including current good manufacturing practices and other applicable government regulations and corresponding standards. If our contract manufacturers fail to achieve and maintain high manufacturing standards in compliance with quality system regulations, we may experience manufacturing errors resulting in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or interruptions of production or failures in product testing or delivery, delay or prevention of filing or approval of marketing applications for our products, cost overruns or other problems that could seriously harm our business.

 

Any performance failure on the part of our contract manufacturers could delay clinical development or regulatory clearance or approval of our product candidates or commercialization of our future product candidates, depriving us of potential product revenue and resulting in additional losses. In addition, our dependence on a third-party for manufacturing may adversely affect our future profit margins. Our ability to replace an existing manufacturer may be difficult because the number of potential manufacturers is limited and the FDA must approve any replacement manufacturer before it can begin manufacturing our product candidates. Such approval would require additional non-clinical testing and compliance inspections. It may be difficult or impossible for us to identify and engage a replacement manufacturer on acceptable terms in a timely manner, or at all.

 

Supply problems could harm our business.

 

Our initial product, Dario, will be marketed via the Internet, directly to consumers, and we will also utilize local distribution partners. Our ability to generate sales of Dario will depend on our ability to:

 

·procure components such as strips and strip cartridges, lancets and adaptors on a timely basis from a limited number of suppliers and manufactures;

 

·assemble and ship products to consumers on a timely basis with appropriate quality control;

 

·develop online distribution and shipment processes; and
·manage inventory and develop processes to deliver customer support.

 

Our inability to achieve any of the foregoing could significantly impair our ability to operate our business.

 

10
 

 

We anticipate that in the future we will generally commit to purchase component parts from suppliers based on sales forecasts of our products. If we cannot change or be released from these non-cancelable purchase commitments, and if orders for our products do not materialize, we could incur significant costs related to the purchase of excess components which could become obsolete before we can use them. Additionally, a delay in production of the components or inaccuracy in our sales forecast could materially adversely impact our operating results if we are unable to timely ship ordered products or provide replacement parts under warranty or maintenance contracts.

 

If Dario fails to satisfy current or future customer requirements, we may be required to make significant expenditures to redesign the product, and we may have insufficient resources to do so.

 

Dario is being designed to address an evolving marketplace and must comply with current and evolving customer requirements in order to gain market acceptance. There is a risk that Dario will not meet anticipated customer requirements or desires. If we are required to redesign our products to address customer demands or otherwise modify our business model, we may incur significant unanticipated expenses and losses, and we may be left with insufficient resources to engage in such activities. If we are unable to redesign our products, develop new products or modify our business model to meet customer desires or any other customer requirements that may emerge, our operating results would be materially adversely affected and our business might fail.

 

Failure in our online marketing efforts could significantly impact our ability to generate sales.

 

In many of our principal target markets, we plan to utilize online marketing in order to create awareness to Dario. Our management believes that using online advertisement through affiliate networks and a variety of other pay-for-performance methods will be superior for marketing and generating sales of Dario rather than utilizing traditional, expensive retail channels. However, there is a risk that our marketing strategy could fail. Because we don’t plan to use a traditional retail sales force or to substantially rely on diabetic’s healthcare providers to educate our customers about Dario, we cannot predict the level of success, if any, that we may achieve by marketing Dario via Internet. The failure of our online marketing efforts would significantly and negatively impact our ability to generate sales.

 

Our Dario smartphone application, which is key to our business model, is available via Apple’s iOS and we expect it to subsequently be available via Google’s Android platforms and maybe in the future via additional platforms. If we are unable to achieve or maintain a good relationship with each of Apple and Google or similar platform, or if the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store or any other applicable platform were unavailable for any prolonged period of time, our business will suffer.

 

A key component of the Dario offering will be an iPhone or Android application which will incorporate tools to help diabetic patients manage their disease. This application is compatible with Apple’s iOS and is expected to be subsequently compatible with Google’s Android platforms and may in the future via additional platforms. If we are unable to make our Dario application compatible with these platforms, or if there is any deterioration in our relationship with either Apple or Google or others after our application is available, our business would be materially harmed.

 

We will be subject to each of Apple’s and Google’s standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of games and other applications on their respective storefronts. Each of Apple and Google has broad discretion to change its standard terms and conditions, including changes which could require us to pay to have our Dario application available for downloading. In addition, these standard terms and conditions can be vague and subject to changing interpretations by Apple or Google. We may not receive any advance warning of such changes. In addition, each of Apple and Google have the right to prohibit a developer from distributing its applications on its storefront if the developer violates its standard terms and conditions. In the event that either Apple or Google ever determines that we are in violation of its standard terms and conditions, including by a new interpretation, and prohibits us from distributing our Dario application on its storefront, it would materially harm our business.

 

11
 

 

Additionally, we will rely on the continued function of the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store as digital storefronts where our Dario application may be obtained. There have been occasions in the past when these digital storefronts were unavailable for short periods of time or where there have been issues with the in-app purchasing functionality within the storefront. In the event that either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store is unavailable or if in-app purchasing functionality within the storefront is non-operational for a prolonged period of time, it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of our customers to secure the Dario application, which would materially harm our business.

 

As we plan to conduct business internationally, we will be susceptible to risks associated with international relationships.

 

We intend to operate our business internationally, initially in Europe and subsequently in the United States and other markets including, but not limited to, Brazil, India and South Africa. The international operation of our business will require significant management attention, which could negatively affect our business if it diverts their attention from their other responsibilities. In the event that we are unable to manage the complications associated with international operations, our business prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, doing business with foreign customers subjects us to additional risks that we do not generally face in the United States. These risks and uncertainties include:

 

·management, communication and integration problems resulting from cultural differences and geographic dispersion;

 

·localization of products and services, including translation of foreign languages;

 

·longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

 

·difficulties supporting international operations;

 

·changes in economic and political conditions;

 

·impact of trade protection measures;

 

·complying with import or export licensing requirements;

 

·exchange rate fluctuations;

 

·competition from companies with international operations, including large international competitors and entrenched local companies;

 

·potentially adverse tax consequences, including foreign tax systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;

 

·maintaining and servicing computer hardware in distant locations;

 

·keeping current and complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and legal standards, including local labor laws;

 

12
 

 

·securing or maintaining protection for our intellectual property; and
   
·reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights, including the ability to transfer such rights to third parties, in some countries.

 

The occurrence of any or all of these risks could adversely affect our international business and, consequently, our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We expect to be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could adversely affect our results.

 

Because we expect to conduct a material portion of our business outside of the United States but report our financial results in U.S. Dollars, we face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates. Our foreign operations will be exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results are translated from the local currency into U.S. Dollars upon consolidation. If the U.S. Dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions will result in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income. Similarly, if the U.S. Dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions will result in decreased revenue, operating expenses and net income. As exchange rates vary, sales and other operating results, when translated, may differ materially from our or the capital market’s expectations.

 

Non-U.S. governments often impose strict price controls, which may adversely affect our future profitability.

 

We intend to seek approval to market Dario and our future product candidates, if any, in both the U.S. and in non-U.S. jurisdictions. If we obtain approval in one or more non-U.S. jurisdictions, we will be subject to rules and regulations in those jurisdictions relating to our products. In some countries, particularly countries of the European Union, each of which has developed its own rules and regulations, pricing may be subject to governmental control under certain circumstances. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a medical device candidate. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of our product to other available products. If reimbursement of our product candidates is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.

 

Our device, software and associated business processes may contain undetected errors, which could limit our ability to provide our services and diminish the attractiveness of our service offerings.

 

Our device, software or our business processes may contain undetected errors, defects or bugs. As a result, our customers or end users may discover errors or defects in our devices, software or the systems we design, or the products or systems incorporating our designs and intellectual property may not operate as expected. We may discover significant errors or defects in the future that we may not be able to fix. Our inability to fix any of those errors could limit our ability to provide our products, impair the reputation of our brand and diminish the attractiveness of our product offerings to our customers.

 

In addition, we may utilize third party technology or components in our products and we rely on those third parties to provide support services to us. Failure of those third parties to provide necessary support services could materially adversely impact our business.

 

13
 

 

As our operating subsidiary is in Israel, we will be faced with the risks associated with doing business in that country.

 

Our operating subsidiary, along with its management team and our research and development facilities, is located in Israel. Although substantially all of our sales will be made to consumers outside Israel and the manufacturing of Dario will be based primarily on parts made in other countries, we are and will nonetheless be directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel. For example, major hostilities involving Israel (such as the November 2012 hostilities between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip) or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on our existing business relationships and on our operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, several countries restrict business with Israeli companies, which may impair our ability to create new business relationships or to be, or become, profitable.

 

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

 

The failure to obtain or maintain patents, licensing agreements and other intellectual property could materially impact our ability to compete effectively.

 

In order for our business to be viable and to compete effectively, we need to develop and maintain, and we will heavily rely on, a proprietary position with respect to our technologies and intellectual property. We filed a Patent Cooperation Treaty (or PCT) application for a “smartphone based glucose and other body fluids content monitor” in May 2011 (PCT/IL2012/000369) which incorporates two U.S. provisional applications submitted in the preceding year. The PCT covers the specific processes related to blood glucose level measurement as well as more general methods of rapid tests of body fluids and has subsequently been converted into several national phase patent applications. We also plan to obtain numerous Web domains. Since our initial PCT, we have filed for many other patents.

 

However, our patents have not been granted by a patent office. In addition, there are significant risks associated with our actual or proposed intellectual property. The risks and uncertainties that we face with respect to our pending patent and other proprietary rights principally include the following:

 

·pending patent applications we have filed or will file may not result in issued patents or may take longer than we expect to result in issued patents;

 

·we may be subject to interference proceedings;

 

·we may be subject to opposition proceedings in foreign countries;

 

·any patents that are issued to us may not provide meaningful protection;

 

·we may not be able to develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable;

 

·other companies may challenge patents licensed or issued to us;

 

·other companies may have independently developed and/or patented (or may in the future independently develop and patent) similar or alternative technologies, or duplicate our technologies;

 

·other companies may design around technologies we have licensed or developed; and

 

14
 

 

·enforcement of patents is complex, uncertain and very expensive.

 

We cannot be certain that patents will be issued as a result of any of our pending or future applications, or that any of our patents, once issued, will provide us with adequate protection from competing products. For example, issued patents may be circumvented or challenged, declared invalid or unenforceable, or narrowed in scope. In addition, since publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we were the first to make our inventions or to file patent applications covering those inventions.

 

It is also possible that others may have or may obtain issued patents that could prevent us from commercializing our products or require us to obtain licenses requiring the payment of significant fees or royalties in order to enable us to conduct our business. As to those patents that we have licensed, our rights depend on maintaining our obligations to the licensor under the applicable license agreement, and we may be unable to do so.

 

In addition to patents and patent applications, we depend upon trademarks, trade secrets and proprietary know-how to protect our proprietary technology. We require our employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements that prohibit the disclosure of our confidential information to any other parties. We will also require our employees and consultants to disclose and assign to us their ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions. These agreements may not, however, provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure in violation of these agreements.

 

Costly litigation may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be subject to claims alleging the violation of the intellectual property rights of others.

 

We may face significant expense and liability as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patents and intellectual property rights of others. In the event that another party has also filed a patent application or been issued a patent relating to an invention or technology claimed by us in pending applications, we may be required to participate in an interference proceeding declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention, which could result in substantial uncertainties and costs for us, even if the eventual outcome was favorable to us. We, or our licensors, also could be required to participate in interference proceedings involving issued patents and pending applications of another entity. An adverse outcome in an interference proceeding could require us to cease using the technology, substantially modify it or to license rights from prevailing third parties.

 

The cost to us of any patent litigation or other proceeding relating to our licensed patents or patent applications, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial, especially given our early stage of development. Our ability to enforce our patent protection could be limited by our financial resources, and may be subject to lengthy delays. A third party may claim that we are using inventions claimed by their patents and may go to court to stop us from engaging in our normal operations and activities, such as research, development and the sale of any future products. Such lawsuits are expensive and would consume significant time and other resources. There is a risk that a court will decide that we are infringing the third party’s patents and will order us to stop the activities claimed by the patents. In addition, there is a risk that a court will order us to pay the other party damages for having infringed their patents.

 

Moreover, there is no guarantee that any prevailing patent owner would offer us a license so that we could continue to engage in activities claimed by the patent, or that such a license, if made available to us, could be acquired on commercially acceptable terms. In addition, third parties may, in the future, assert other intellectual property infringement claims against us with respect to our services, technologies or other matters.

 

15
 

 

International patent protection is particularly uncertain, and if we are involved in opposition proceedings in foreign countries we may have to expend substantial sums and management resources.

 

Patent and other intellectual property law outside the United States is even more uncertain than in the United States and is continually undergoing review and revisions in many countries. Further, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. For example, certain countries do not grant patent claims that are directed to business methods and processes. In addition, we may have to participate in opposition proceedings to determine the validity of our foreign patents or our competitors’ foreign patents, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our efforts.

 

Risks Related to Our Industry

 

We face intense competition in the self monitoring blood glucose markets and we may not be able to compete in our industry.

 

With our first product, Dario, we expect to compete directly and primarily with large pharmaceutical and medical device companies: Abbott Laboratories, Bayer Healthcare Division, Johnson & Johnson LifeScan, Roche Diagnostics and Sanofi. The first four of these companies have more than 90% combined market shares of the SMBG business and strong research and development capacity for next generation products. Their dominant market position since the late 1990s and significant control over the market could significantly limit our ability to introduce Dario or effectively market and generate sales of the product. We will also compete with numerous second-tier and third-tier competitors.

 

We are a “start-up” company with no meaningful history of operations, and most of our competitors have long histories and strong reputations within the industry. They have significantly greater financial and human resources than we do. They also have more experience and capabilities in researching and developing testing products, obtaining regulatory approvals, manufacturing and marketing those products than we do. There is a significant risk that we may be unable to overcome the advantages held by our competition, and our inability to do so could lead to the failure of our business and the loss of your investment.

 

Competition in the SMBG markets is extremely intense, which can lead to, among other things, price reductions, longer selling cycles, lower product margins, loss of market share and additional working capital requirements. To succeed, we must, among other critical matters, gain consumer acceptance for Dario and potential future products incorporating our principal technology and offer better strategic concepts, technical solutions, prices and response time, or a combination of these factors, than those of other competitors. If our competitors offer significant discounts on certain products, we may need to lower our prices or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully. Moreover, any broad-based changes to our prices and pricing policies could make it difficult to generate revenues or cause our revenues, if established, to decline. Some of our competitors may bundle certain software products at low prices for promotional purposes or as a long-term pricing strategy. These practices could significantly reduce demand for Dario or potential future products or constrain prices we can charge. Moreover, if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are more effective or desirable than Dario or the other products that we may develop, we may not convince our customers to use our products. Any such changes would likely reduce our commercial opportunity and revenue potential and could materially adversely impact our operating results.

 

16
 

 

It may be difficult for us to establish market acceptance of Dario, which would significantly impair our viability.

 

We are faced with the risk that the marketplace will not be receptive to Dario over competing products and that we will be unable to compete effectively. Failure of our products to achieve market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Factors that could affect our ability to establish Dario or any potential future products include:

 

·the development of products or platforms and design and methodology services, which could result in a shift of customer preferences away from our products and services and significantly decrease revenue;

 

·the increase use of improved diabetes drugs that could encourage certain diabetics to test less often, resulting in less usage of self-monitoring test device for certain types of diabetics;

 

·the challenges of developing (or acquiring externally-developed) technology solutions that are adequate and competitive in meeting the requirements of next-generation design challenges;

 

·the significant number of current competitors in SMBG market who have significantly greater name recognition and more recognizable trademarks and who have established relationships with diabetics healthcare providers and payors; and
·intense competition to attract acquisition targets, which may make it more difficult for us to acquire companies or technologies at an acceptable price or at all.

 

If we are unable to establish market acceptance of Dario, our business would likely fail and you would lose your investment in our company.

 

If we fail to respond quickly to technological developments our products may become uncompetitive and obsolete.

 

The SMBG market and other markets in which we plan to compete experience rapid technology developments, changes in industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and improvements. If we are unable to respond quickly to these developments, we may lose competitive position, and our products or technologies may become uncompetitive or obsolete, causing revenues and operating results to suffer. To compete, we must develop or acquire new products and improve our existing products and processes on a schedule that keeps pace with technological developments and the requirements for products addressing a broad spectrum and designers and designer expertise in our industries. We must also be able to support a range of changing customer preferences. For instance, as non-invasive technologies become more readily available in the market, we may be required to adopt our platform to accommodate the use of non-invasive or continuous blood glucose sensors. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in any manner in these efforts.

 

The regulatory approval process is expensive, time-consuming and uncertain and may prevent us from obtaining approvals for the commercialization of Dario or our future product candidates, if any.

 

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, selling, marketing and distribution of medical devices are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities, which regulations differ from country to country. See “Business – Government Regulation.”

 

17
 

 

We are not permitted to market our product candidates in Europe, the United States or elsewhere until we receive a regulatory clearance. In the U.S., this would take the form of a clearance letter under the 510(k) premarket notification process, or approval of a Section 515 premarket approval (or PMA) from the FDA, depending on the nature of the device. We have not submitted an application or premarket notification in the U.S. for, or other received marketing clearance or approval for any of our product candidates anywhere in the world. Obtaining approval of any premarket approval can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process. While the FDA normally reviews and clears a premarket notification in three months, there is no guarantee that our products will qualify for this more expeditious regulatory process, which is reserved for Class I and II devices, nor is there any assurance that, even if a device is reviewed under the 510(k) premarket notification process, the FDA will review it expeditiously or determine that the device is substantially equivalent to a lawfully marketed non-premarket approval device. If the FDA fails to make this finding, then we cannot market the device. In lieu of acting on a premarket notification, the FDA may seek additional information or additional data which would further delay our ability to market the product. In addition, failure to comply with FDA, non-U.S. regulatory authorities or other applicable U.S. and non-U.S. regulatory requirements may, either before or after product clearance or approval, if any, subject us to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions, including:

 

·restrictions on the products, manufacturers or manufacturing process;

 

·adverse inspectional observations (Form 483), warning letters or non-warning letters incorporating inspectional observations;

 

·civil and criminal penalties;

 

·injunctions;

 

·suspension or withdrawal of regulatory clearances or approvals;

 

·product seizures, detentions or import bans;

 

·voluntary or mandatory product recalls and publicity requirements;

 

·total or partial suspension of production;

 

·imposition of restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements; and
·refusal to clear or approve pending applications or premarket notifications.

 

The FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a medical device candidate for many reasons, including:

 

·a medical device candidate may not be deemed safe or effective, in the case of a premarket approval application;

 

·a medical device candidate may not be deemed to be substantially equivalent to a lawfully marketed non-premarket approval device in the case of a 510(k) premarket notification;

 

18
 

   

·FDA officials may not find the data from pre-clinical studies and our Dario clinical trial (or any future trials) sufficient;

 

·the FDA might not approve our third-party manufacturer’s processes or facilities; or

 

·the FDA may change its clearance or approval policies or adopt new regulations.

 

We may be unable to complete required clinical trials, or we may experience significant delays in completing such clinical trials, which could significantly delay our targeted product launch timeframe and impair our viability and business plan.

 

The completion of any future clinical trials for Dario or other trials that we may be required to undertake in the future could be delayed, suspended or terminated for several reasons, including:

 

·our failure or inability to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements;

 

·sites participating in the trial may drop out of the trial, which may require us to engage new sites for an expansion of the number of sites that are permitted to be involved in the trial;

 

·patients may not enroll in, remain in or complete, the clinical trial at the rates we expect; and

 

·clinical investigators may not perform our clinical trial on our anticipated schedule or consistent with the clinical trial protocol and good clinical practices.

 

If our clinical trial is delayed it will take us longer to ultimately commercialize Dario and generate revenues. Moreover, our development costs will increase if we have material delays in our clinical trial or if we need to perform more or larger clinical trials than planned. We may be faced with similar risks in connection with future trials we conduct.

 

Our failure to meet or maintain necessary or potential regulatory requirements, in relevant target markets, could hurt our ability to distribute and market our products.

 

Dario or our potential future products may fall under the regulatory purview of various centers at the FDA as described above and similar health authorities in foreign regions or countries where we intend to do business, such as in the European Union. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process may take from three to twelve months, or longer, and may or may not require additional human clinical data. The premarket approval process may take from eleven months to three years, or even longer, and will likely require significant supporting human clinical data.

 

In addition, on July 21, 2011, the FDA issued a draft guideline for comment related to mobile medical applications (which we refer to herein as the Guideline). Under the Guideline, the FDA plans to apply its regulatory oversights to certain types of mobile medical devices. We anticipate that Dario will be subject to the FDA’s regulatory oversights and enforcement actions. Delays in obtaining the regulatory clearance or approval from the FDA or its equivalents in foreign market could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. We cannot predict whether or when we will be permitted to commercialize Dario.

 

19
 

 

We may also become subject to numerous post-marketing regulatory requirements, which include labeling regulations and medical device reporting regulations, which may require us to report to different regulatory agencies if our devices cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. In addition, these regulatory requirements may change in the future in a way that adversely affects us. If we fail to comply with present or future regulatory requirements that are applicable to us, we may be subject to enforcement action by regulatory agencies, which may include, among others, any of the following sanctions:

 

·untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

 

·customer notification, or orders for repair, replacement or refunds;

 

·voluntary or mandatory recall or seizure of our current or future products;

 

·imposing operating restrictions, suspension or shutdown of production;

 

·refusing our requests for 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval of new products, new intended uses or modifications to Dario or future products;

 

·rescinding 510(k) clearance or suspending or withdrawing pre-market approvals that have already been granted; and

 

·criminal prosecution.

 

The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation or any applicable state equivalent, our operations could be interrupted and our operating results could suffer.

 

Under the Guideline, the FDA strongly recommends that manufacturers of mobile medical applications follow the FDA’s Quality System Regulation. We, our manufacturers and suppliers are also subject to the regulations of foreign jurisdictions regarding the manufacturing process if we market our products overseas. If our affiliates, our manufacturers or suppliers are found to be in significant non-compliance or fail to take satisfactory corrective action in response to adverse QSR inspectional findings, the FDA could take enforcement actions against us and our manufacturers which could impair our ability to produce our products in a cost-effective and timely manner in order to meet our customers’ demands. Accordingly, our operating results could suffer.

 

Healthcare policy changes, including ongoing efforts to reform the U.S. healthcare system, may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Dario utilizes a standard electrochemical glucose testing method and is expected to benefit from existing regulatory approvals worldwide for traditional, non-disposable monitors, test-strips and lancets, in order to have a more rapid pathway to market. However, the SMBG markets have experienced downward pressure on product pricing because the Federal and state governments have made various cost containment efforts on health care expenditures. Furthermore, the industry faces uncertainty brought by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and of any potential healthcare reform that could impact tax and reimbursement rates. The implementation of these laws or the adoption of healthcare reform proposals in the future could thus impose limitations on the prices we will be able to charge for our products, or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products from governmental agencies or third-party payors. These limitations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

20
 

 

We anticipate that legislation could change access to health care products, increase rebates, reduce prices or the rate of price increases, or cap reimbursement rates for medical devices. We also anticipate that legislation could impose sales or excise tax on the medical device manufacturing sector. Any change on medical device taxation and downward trending reimbursement rates would directly impact all aspects of our industry, including our operations and the demand for our products. To the extent such cost containment efforts are not offset by the growth of diabetics population, greater patient access to healthcare and other factors, our future revenues and operating income would be reduced.

 

We may be subject to federal, state and foreign healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations.

 

Many federal, state and foreign healthcare laws and regulations apply to the SMBG business and medical devices. We may be subject to certain federal and state regulations, including the federal healthcare programs’ Anti-Kickback Law, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and other federal and state false claims laws. The medical device industry has been under heightened scrutiny as the subject of government investigations and enforcement actions involving manufacturers who allegedly offered unlawful inducements to potential or existing customers in an attempt to procure their business, including arrangements with physician consultants. If our operations or arrangements are found to be in violation of such governmental regulations, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and the curtailment of our operations. All of these penalties could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

 

Product liability suits, whether or not meritorious, could be brought against us due to an alleged defective product or for the misuse of Dario or our potential future products. These suits could result in expensive and time-consuming litigation, payment of substantial damages, and an increase in our insurance rates.

 

If Dario or any of our future products are defectively designed or manufactured, contain defective components or are misused, or if someone claims any of the foregoing, whether or not meritorious, we may become subject to substantial and costly litigation. Misusing our devices or failing to adhere to the operating guidelines or the device producing inaccurate meter readings could cause significant harm to patients, including death. In addition, if our operating guidelines are found to be inadequate, we may be subject to liability. Product liability claims could divert management’s attention from our core business, be expensive to defend and result in sizable damage awards against us. We presently have no insurance against such claims, and even if we are able to obtain such insurance (of which no assurances can be given), we may not have sufficient insurance coverage for all future claims. Any product liability claims brought against us, with or without merit, could increase our product liability insurance rates or prevent us from securing continuing coverage, could harm our reputation in the industry and could reduce revenue. Product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage would be paid out of cash reserves harming our financial condition and adversely affecting our results of operations.

 

21
 

 

If we are found to have violated laws protecting the confidentiality of patient health information, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities and harm our reputation or our business.

 

Part of our business plan includes the storage and potential monetization of medical data of users of Dario. There are a number of federal and state laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services promulgated patient privacy rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (which we refer to herein as HIPAA). These privacy rules protect medical records and other personal health information by limiting their use and disclosure, giving individuals the right to access, amend and seek accounting of their own health information and limiting most use and disclosures of health information to the minimum amount reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose. We may face difficulties in holding such information in compliance with applicable law. If we are found to be in violation of the privacy rules under HIPAA, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities, harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

Our majority stockholders will control our company for the foreseeable future, including the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.

 

Our founders, officers and directors collectively have an approximately 50.58% beneficial ownership of our company. As a result, such individuals will have the ability, acting together, to control the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders and be disadvantageous to our stockholders with interests different from those individuals. Certain of these individuals also have significant control over our business, policies and affairs as officers or directors of our company. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over our company. See “Principal Stockholders.”

 

We may be unable to establish a liquid market for our common stock due to the manner in which we became a publicly reporting company.

 

Because we did not become an SEC reporting company by the traditional means of conducting an initial public offering of our common stock, but rather through a self-registration process, we may be unable to establish a liquid market for our common stock. Moreover, we do not expect security analysts of brokerage firms to provide coverage of our company in the near future. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite primary or secondary offerings on behalf of our company or its stockholders in the future than they would if we had become a public reporting company by means of an initial public offering of common stock. If all or any of the foregoing risks occur, it would have a material adverse effect on our company.

 

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained.

 

As we are in our early stages, an investment in our company will likely require a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. Although our common stock is listed for quotation on the OTCBB and OTCQB markets under the symbol of DRIO, we cannot predict whether an active market for our common stock will ever develop in the future.  In the absence of an active trading market:

 

·investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;

 

·market visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited; and

 

22
 

 

·a lack of visibility for shares of our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

 

The OTCBB and OTCQB markets are relatively unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than NASDAQ or the NYSE MKT (formerly known as the NYSE AMEX).  In this event, there would be a highly illiquid market for our common stock and you may be unable to dispose of your common stock at desirable prices or at all. Moreover, there is a risk that our common stock could be delisted from the OTCBB and OTCQB, in which case it might be listed on the so called “Pink Sheets”, which is even more illiquid than the OTCQB.

 

The lack of an active market impairs your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional intellectual property assets by using our shares as consideration.

 

We may not maintain qualification for OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQB inclusion, and therefore you may be unable to sell your shares.

 

Our common stock became eligible for an un-priced quotation on the OTCBB and OTCQB on April 8, 2013. We are also required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to be current in our periodic securities reporting obligations.

 

However, trading of our common stock could be suspended. If for any reason our common stock does not become eligible or maintain eligibility for quotation on the OTCBB or OTCQB or a public trading market does not develop, purchasers of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling their shares should they desire to do so. If we are unable to satisfy the requirements for quotation on the OTCBB and OTCQB, any quotation of in our common stock could be conducted in the “pink” sheets market. As a result, a purchaser of our common stock may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of their shares. This would materially and adversely affect the liquidity of our securities.

 

The market price our common stock may be significantly volatile.

 

The market price for our common stock may be significantly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

 

·actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;

 

·changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;

 

·conditions in markets generally;

 

·changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies similar to ours; and

 

·general economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.

 

23
 

 

In particular, the market prices for securities of medical device and life sciences companies have historically been particularly volatile. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

 

·any delay in or the results of our clinical trials;

 

·the announcements of clinical trial data, and the investment community’s perception of and reaction to those data;

 

·the results of clinical trials conducted by others on products that would compete with ours;

 

·any delay or failure to receive approval from the FDA and other regulatory agencies or bodies;

 

·our inability to commercially launch products or market and generate sales of our products, including Dario;

 

·failure of Dario or any other products, even if approved for marketing, to achieve any level of commercial success;

 

·our failure to obtain patent protection for any of our technologies and products (including those related to Dario) or the issuance of third party patents that cover our proposed technologies or products;

 

·developments or disputes concerning our product’s intellectual property rights;

 

·our or our competitors’ technological innovations;

 

·general and industry-specific economic conditions that may affect our expenditures;

 

·changes in market valuations of similar companies;

 

·announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new technologies, or patents;

 

·failure to adequately manufacture Dario or any other products through third parties;

 

·future sales of our common stock or other securities;

 

·period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and

 

·low trading volume of our common stock;

 

In addition, if we fail to reach an important research, development or commercialization milestone or result by a publicly expected deadline, even if by only a small margin, there could be significant impact on the market price of our common stock. Additionally, as we approach the announcement of anticipated significant information and as we announce such information, we expect the price of our common stock to be particularly volatile, and negative results would have a substantial negative impact on the price of our common stock.

  

24
 

  

In some cases, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our business operations and reputation.

 

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock,” and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.

 

Our common stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” if it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our common stock may be a “penny stock” if it meets one or more of the following conditions: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it has a price less than $5 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company (such as ours) that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

 

The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our shares.

 

FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.

 

25
 

 

You may face significant restrictions on the resale of your shares due to state “blue sky” laws.

 

Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (1) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (2) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker-dealer must also be registered in that state.

 

We do not know whether our securities will be registered or exempt from registration under the laws of any state. A determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as market makers for our common stock. We have not yet applied to have our securities registered in any state and will not do so until we receive expressions of interest from investors resident in specific states after they have viewed this prospectus. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our securities. You should therefore consider the resale market for our common stock to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your shares without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

 

Because certain of our executive officers and directors reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on the United States federal securities laws or otherwise against such officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against them in Israel.

 

Certain of our executive officers and directors reside outside of the United States in Israel. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or otherwise against such persons in the courts of either the United States or Israel, and even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in Israeli courts.

 

Our compliance with complicated U.S. regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses. Moreover, our ability to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations is uncertain given our management’s relative inexperience with operating U.S. public companies.

 

As a publicly reporting company, we are faced with expensive and complicated and evolving disclosure, governance and compliance laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act. New or changing laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards of a U.S. public company are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

 

Moreover, our executive officers have little experience in operating a U.S. public company, which makes our ability to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations uncertain. Our failure to company with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to U.S. public companies could subject us or our management to regulatory scrutiny or sanction, which could harm our reputation and stock price.

 

26
 

 

As an “emerging growth company” under applicable law, we will be subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our stockholders without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies.

 

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (which we refer to herein as the JOBS Act), we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to:

 

·not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

·taking advantage of an extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

·reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

·exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved;.

 

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our stockholders would be left without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies.

 

Because we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company” our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Because our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, investors may have difficulty evaluating or comparing our business, performance or prospects in comparison to other public companies, which may have a negative impact on the value and liquidity of our common stock.

 

There may be limitations on the effectiveness of our internal controls, and a failure of our control systems to prevent error or fraud may materially harm our company.

 

Proper systems of internal controls over financial accounting and disclosure are critical to the operation of a public company. As we are a start-up company, we are at the very early stages of establishing, and we may be unable to effectively establish such systems, especially in light of the fact that we expect to operate as a publicly reporting company. This would leave us without the ability to reliably assimilate and compile financial information about our company and significantly impair our ability to prevent error and detect fraud, all of which would have a negative impact on our company from many perspectives.

 

27
 

 

Moreover, we do not expect that disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting, even if established, will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be 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. Because of 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. Failure of our control systems to prevent error or fraud could materially adversely impact us.

 

We may be unable to complete our analysis of our internal controls over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

 

We are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by our management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting, as well as a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our internal control over financial reporting as describe below.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the recently enacted JOBS Act, if we take advantage (as we expect to do) of the exemptions contained in the JOBS Act. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years unless the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time in which case we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 30.

 

At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating. Our remediation efforts may not enable us to avoid a material weakness in the future. Any of the foregoing occurrences, should they come to pass, could negatively impact the public perception of our company, which could have a negative impact on our stock price.

 

We are in the very early stages of the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective.

 

If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our common stock to decline, and we may be subject to investigation or sanctions by the SEC.

 

28
 

 

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.

 

We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws:

 

·authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to thwart a takeover attempt;

 

·provide that vacancies on our board of directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;

 

·provide that special meetings of stockholders may only be called by our Chairman and/or President, our board of directors or a super-majority (66 2/3%) of our stockholders;

 

·place restrictive requirements (including advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals) on how special meetings of stockholders may be called by our stockholders;

 

·do not provide stockholders with the ability to cumulate their votes; and

 

·provide that only a super-majority of our stockholders (66 2/3%) may amend our bylaws.

 

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, and consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

 

Upon dissolution of our company, you may not recoup all or any portion of your investment.

 

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the proceeds and/or assets of our company remaining after giving effect to such transaction, and the payment of all of our debts and liabilities will be distributed to the stockholders of common stock on a pro rata basis. There can be no assurance that we will have available assets to pay to the holders of common stock, or any amounts, upon such a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company. In this event, you could lose some or all of your investment.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

·our lack of operating history;

 

·our current and future capital requirements and our ability to satisfy our capital needs;

 

·our ability to manufacture, market and sell Dario;

 

·our ability to complete required clinical trials of our product and obtain approval from the FDA or other regulatory agents in different jurisdictions;

 

·our ability to maintain or protect the validity of our patents and other intellectual property;

 

·our ability to retain key executive members;

 

·our ability to internally develop new inventions and intellectual property;

 

·interpretations of current laws and the passages of future laws; and

 

·acceptance of our business model by investors.

 

The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipate in our forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” for additional risks which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.

 

Moreover, new risks regularly emerge and it is not possible for our management to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date of this prospectus. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the common stock will be paid directly to the selling stockholders.

 

We would, however, receive proceeds upon the exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders which, if such warrants are exercised in full would be approximately $11,175,011. Proceeds, if any, received from the exercise of such warrants are currently expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. No assurances can be given that any of such warrants will be exercised.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We anticipate that we will retain funds and future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future following this offering. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. In addition, the terms of any future debt or credit financings may preclude us from paying dividends.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Prospective investors should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Overview

 

We were formed in August 2011 as a Delaware corporation. We have developed and are commercializing a patent-pending technology that seeks to bring laboratory testing capabilities to consumers in a distinctive, easy to use and affordable way through the use of smartphones such as iPhones and Androids and other mobile devices.

 

Our initial product is Dario™, a stylish, easy-to-use medical device and software system that will compete in more than $10 billion dollar estimated worldwide market for patient self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) products. Dario is a comprehensive, patent-pending system that combines an all-in-one SMBG device consisting of a lancet (to obtain a blood sample), a device-specific disposable test strip cartridge and a smartphone-driven glucose reader adaptor, coupled with a smartphone app and cloud-based data services. We are presently pursuing patent applications in multiple jurisdictions covering the specific processes related to blood glucose level measurement as well as more general methods of rapid tests of body fluids using smartphones and cloud-based services.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Overview

 

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (or US GAAP). Our fiscal year ends December 31.

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires making 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 revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ (perhaps significantly) from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

32
 

 

While all the accounting policies impact the financial statements, certain policies may be viewed to be critical. Our management believes that the accounting policies which involve more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statement include warrants liability, stock-based compensation, capitalization of costs and useful lives of assets:

 

Warrant liability

 

The fair value of the liability for certain warrants issued to investors and our previous placement agent’s in connection with our financings to date was calculated using the Binomial model. We accounted for these warrants according to the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and, based on the anti-dilution protections contained in the warrants, we classified them as liabilities, measured at fair value each reporting period until they will be exercised or expired, with changes in the fair values being recognized in our statement of operations as financial income or expense.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation- stock compensation” which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated income statements.

 

We recognize compensation expenses for the value of awards granted based on the straight line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered option. Ultimately, the actual expenses recognized over the vesting period will only be for those shares that vest.

 

We selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for stock-option awards based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. This option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon historical volatilities of similar entities in the related sector index. The expected option term represents the period that our stock options are expected to be outstanding and is determined based on the simplified method until sufficient historical exercise data will support using expected life assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. We have historically not paid dividends and have no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.

 

Our net loss includes stock-based compensation costs in the amount of $1,686,404, $126,593 and $1,277,252 for the period from our inception on August 11, 2011 and through March 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

 

We apply ASC 718 and ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees. ASC 718 requires the use of option valuation models to measure the fair value of the options and warrants at the measurement date.

 

In connection with options granted to non-employees for services received from our inception on August 11, 2011 and through March 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 and our determination of the fair value of our common shares, we have recorded stock-based compensation expense of $197,137, $0 and $42,146, respectively, which represents the fair value of non-employee options grant. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to vesting, the value of these options, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was re-measured using the then current fair value of our common shares.

Production Equipment

 

Capitalization of Costs. We capitalize external construction costs of third party manufacturer related to our production equipment. We cease construction cost capitalization relating to our production equipment once it is ready for its intended use and held available for occupancy. All renovations and betterments that extend the economic useful lives of assets and / or improve the performance of the production equipment are capitalized.

 

Useful Lives of Assets. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our production equipment for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our construction of the production equipment. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income (loss). Tooling and production equipment which are part of our production equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of up to five years, except any renovations and betterments which are depreciated over the remaining life of the production equipment.

 

Extended Transition Period for “Emerging Growth Companies.”

 

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Act of 2012 (known as the JOBS Act). This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Because our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, investors may have difficulty evaluating or comparing our business, performance or prospects in comparison to other public companies, which may have a negative impact on the value and liquidity of our common stock.

Net loss

 

Net loss from our inception through the period ended March 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 was $11,298,791, $570,883 and $5,226,869.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We expect to begin to generate revenues during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, which reflects our goal of commercially launching our Dario product in 2013 following receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. Through our Israeli subsidiary, LabStyle Innovation Ltd., our plan of operations is to continue the development of our product and technology.

 

We expect to incur a minimum of approximately $6.2 million in expenses in order to effectuate our business for the remainder of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. During such period, we expect (subject to obtaining regulatory approvals) to commercially launch Dario, first in Europe. In support of this goal, we estimate that such $6.2 million in expenses will be utilized to fund the following activities:

 

·production, marketing and sales of Dario devices and test strips;

 

·continued product development and related activities;

 

·continued work on registration of our patents worldwide;

 

35
 

 

·regulatory matters;

 

·professional fees associated with being a publicly reporting company; and

 

·general and administrative matters.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have generated significant losses and expect to continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future. There is no assurances that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for our near term requirements or the long-term development and commercialization of our products. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.

 

As of March 31, 2013, we had $294,897 in cash and cash equivalents. During the second quarter of 2013, we raised net proceeds in an aggregate of approximately $8,985,510 in a private placement transaction. In addition, in June 2013, we closed the final tranche of our August 2012 Private Placement proceeds of $500,011 from such closing.

 

According to our management’s estimates, based on our current cash on hand, our budget and the assumption that initial commercial sales will commence during our anticipated timeframes, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to continue our activity at least until the end of January 2014. However, if we are not able to commercially launch Dario or meeting our commercial sales targets, and if we are unable to obtain additional capital resources, we will not be able to continue activities beyond the end of January 2014.

 

Readers are advised that available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding sooner than expected. Should this occur during 2013, we will need to seek additional capital to fund (i) further development and, if needed, testing of our initial product and its related application and data storage components, (ii) our efforts to obtain regulatory approvals necessary to be able to commercially launch such product, (iii) expenses which will be required in order to start production of our product, (iv) sales and marketing efforts and (v) general working capital. Such funding may be unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We have developed and are commercializing a patent-pending technology that seeks to bring laboratory testing capabilities to consumers in a distinctive, easy to use and affordable way through the use of smartphones such as iPhones and Androids as well as other mobile devices. We were formed in August 2011 as a Delaware corporation.

 

We are initially applying our technology to address the $10 billion estimated worldwide market for diabetic self-monitoring of blood glucose, or SMBG. Our first product, DarioTM, is a comprehensive, patent-pending system that combines an all-in-one SMBG device consisting of a lancet (to obtain a blood sample), a device-specific disposable test strip cartridge and a smartphone-driven glucose reader adaptor, coupled with a smartphone app and cloud-based data services. We believe that Dario has the potential to replace the need for stand alone, self-powered glucose meters, which are the current standard of care. Dario also comes with a related smartphone application and offers web-based services for diabetic patients.

 

We have finalized the commercial design for Dario, which will combine in one device the lancing mechanism, disposable strip cartridge and glucose monitor and attached plug (which plug has a small form factor for insertion into the smartphone audio jack). Based on this design, during the second quarter of 2013, we manufactured through a third party an initial batch of a few dozen Dario devices and cartridges, and in May 2013, we used these products in order to conclude an over 200 patient clinical trial which met its endpoints. We have used these trial results in our regulatory submissions in the EU and expect to use these results in connection with our regulatory filings in the U.S.

 

We began the regulatory approval process in Europe in 2012, and we expect to commence such process in the United States in 2013. Such approvals will need to be obtained prior to the anticipated commercial launch of Dario, which launch is anticipated in 2013 in Europe and subsequently in North America and other jurisdictions. Based on our discussions with regulatory authorities in Europe and the knowledge and experience of our management on regulatory matters in the U.S., we believe that applicable regulatory approvals will be obtained in advance of our anticipated commercial launches for Dario.

 

In addition, we have developed both the critical software that will enable Dario to integrate with the iPhone platform, as well as the backend test result data collection component of the Dario system, and these will be in place to support the anticipated commercial launch of Dario, although we expect to refine and augment such software and systems over time. The Dario application for Apple has been accepted by Apple for inclusion in the AppStore. We also have an agreement in place with the manufacturer of our test strips and are presently negotiating agreements with third parties to undertake commercial scale manufacturing of Dario devices in order to support our anticipated launches for the product. In addition, we have executed an agreement with our first distribution partner to assist with sales efforts in the United Kingdom and Belgium.

 

Our Technology

 

Our founders have worked since the first half of 2010 to develop our principal technology, for which broad patent protection, with a combination of two U.S. provisional patent applications and our International PCT patent application, was applied for in 2011. We are converting the PCT into national phase applications in the jurisdictions in which we are targeting the commercial launch of Dario. As such, corresponding national applications were filed in November 2012 in the U.S., Europe, Israel, Brazil, China, Australia, India, South Africa and Germany.

 

37
 

 

By using smartphones and other mobile devices (which are used by millions of people around the world) as the heart of the test device, we believe that patients will more readily perform on-the-go testing, leading to increased usage and better healthcare management. In addition, the integration with the smartphone enables the data to be seamlessly integrated into a comprehensive data management program which incorporates features such as a results and trends log, community and alerts features and personalized lifestyle change recommendations. In short, Dario will epitomize our product motto — “Glucose Monitoring for the Mobile AgeTM.”

 

Although we are initially targeting the SMBG market with our first product Dario, we believe our invention has the potential to cover dozens of laboratory tests of bodily fluids (including blood, urine and saliva tests) that could potentially be undertaken using a smartphone, including, among others, blood coagulation, cholesterol and HIV tests.

 

Our Initial Product – DarioTM

 

We believe that the diabetic SMBG market presents the most attractive initial application for our proprietary technology as there are millions of potential diabetic users of a smartphone-enabled glucose monitoring technology. As such, our first product, Dario, will seek to revolutionize the way diabetic patients around the world manage their disease.

 

Roughly the size of a pack of gum, Dario is an all-in-one device that includes the glucose reader which is connected to a smartphone via the phone jack, along with a lancing device (a reusable blood-sampling device, when loaded with a disposable lancet) and an integrated, disposable cartridge for test strips. We believe that Dario has the potential to replace stand-alone glucose meters which are the current market standard, most of which have the necessary testing components separated from one another in what we believe is a cumbersome design. Moreover, all but a few glucometers lack an interface with a smartphone, and none will have the software applications and web-based services associated with Dario, each of which we believe will distinguish Dario as an alternative in the marketplace.

 

Our revenues are expected to be derived from sales of Dario’s components, including the device itself, which will be priced similarly to blood glucose monitors in the marketplace, and principally from the recurring sale of our disposable cartridges with 25 test strips. Our customers will also receive access to our smartphone application, and to our website, which will incorporate tools to help diabetic patients manage their disease. Importantly, our revenue model will be driven by the fact that only our test strips, purchased through us and our partners, will be able to be utilized with the Dario device and software, so it is our expectation that we will be the sole source for Dario compatible test strips. In addition to device and test strip related revenue, we anticipate generating revenue in the future from our ability to offer Dario’s subscribers additional products and services based on personalized recommendations, such as location-based, low-sugar food recommendations and the ability to send alerts to caregivers and family and friends. Moreover, the comprehensive data which will be gathered from the use of Dario’s platform by the end-users may enable the company, in the future, to have additional source of revenue.

 

We believe the following features of our Dario product and the manner in which we plan to market and distribute our product will help position Dario to gain users and drive revenue growth:

 

38
 

 

·Look and Feel. While utilizing the same state of the art electro-chemical, blood-based measurement techniques as standard glucose monitors and offers familiar usability, Dario is easily integrated with the patient’s own smartphone and offers a distinctive look and feel. Furthermore, unlike the market standards, Dario has an integrated lancing device and disposable strip cartridge. This eliminates the need for a separate glucose monitor, lancing device and strip bottle and, we believe, will make Dario the glucose device with among the smallest footprint in the market. Furthermore, Dario will have smartphone applications incorporating software tools to help diabetic patients manage their disease.

 

·Large Market of Potential Users. Our reliance on diabetics within the massive smartphone market gives us an established potential user-base. In the U.S., Nielsen reports that 55% of new cell phone buyers purchased a smartphone as their new handset, an increase from 34% one year ago. Of all U.S. mobile users, 38% now own a smartphone, and smartphones are increasingly becoming the choice of the typical phone user. In many countries (including the U.S.), smartphones are also typically heavily subsidized by the cellular providers through discounted pricing associated with related plan subscriptions, enabling Dario to benefit from the extensive marketing by cellular companies of these devices. We believe that it is reasonable to assume that the percentage of smartphone users with diabetes mirrors that of the general population.

  

·Marketing and Distribution. Our planned Internet-based, direct-to-consumer marketing and distribution will seek to reduce the reliance on traditional retail channels. We believe that our direct to consumer, online distribution plan, coupled with the fact that our Dario adapter is integrated in one unit with a lancing device and strip cartridge (which we believe will be viewed as favorable by customers) may enable a rapid ramp up of our revenue. This approach is also designed to effectively create brand awareness with a significantly reduced use of our capital resources versus the amounts required via the traditional, offline retail channels.

 

·“Expanding the Pie”. Our goal is to obtain significant market share using technological innovations and by expanding the total SMBG market size “pie” through offering a user-friendly device that utilizes an existing platform and installed potential user base (smartphones and smartphone users, respectively). We will endeavor to emphasize the user friendly nature of Dario to expand the total SMBG market size by convincing existing diabetes patients to test their glucose levels more frequently and by convincing the “nontesting” population to adopt glucose monitoring.

 

·Competitive Cost of Goods Sold. Based on our market research and discussions with our test strip manufacturer, we believe that our anticipated outsourced manufacturing cost of the test strips will be similar to our estimate of our competitors’ cost for existing single-use disposable strips. In addition, we believe the manufacturing costs of our Dario device will be competitive or lower than those of the leading glucometers.

 

·Opportunities for Commercialization Partnerships. Recent pharmaceutical company entrants into the SMBG market (such as Perigo and Sanofi) are licensing and/or acquiring technologies, seeking differentiation, thereby providing us with opportunities for more rapid commercialization through partnerships. Therefore, we will explore the possibility of entering into commercialization agreements, including an upfront payment, supply agreement and royalty payments, with strategic partners.

 

39
 

 

Currently there are a few new market entrants in the SMBG space that are attempting to utilize computer or smartphone connectivity, including the Bayer Contour and the recently introduced Sanofi IBGStar and GlucoDock (which is currently only available outside of the U.S.). Both devices, however, are traditional, free-standing glucose monitors that require connection to a computer or smartphone via the USB Port (the Contour) or the dock connecting port (IBGstar and GlucoDock). Furthermore, none of these devices offer the integration of an all-in-one unit that includes a lancing device and strip cartridge.

 

Thus, we believe Dario will bring an entirely new dynamic to the SMBG device market. We believe that our primary business model for Dario is clean and simple — sales of proprietary glucose test strips (the disposable component) directly to consumers, leveraging an installed base of mobile phones. The entire mechanism consists of a small and simple adaptor combined with a strip which is connected to the smartphone’s headphone jack, with the strip test results being read by the smartphone.

 

Background on Diabetes

 

Diabetes is a chronic disease that arises when the pancreas does not produce enough (or ceases to produce) insulin, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that enables cells to take in glucose from the blood and use it for energy. Failure to produce insulin, or of insulin to act properly, or both, leads to raised glucose (sugar) levels in the blood (hyperglycemia), which can be detected with a blood test. Excess glucose in the blood has been shown to cause damage to blood vessels and is thus associated with long-term damage to the body and failure of various organs and tissues, including the retina and the kidneys. There are three main types of diabetes:

 

Type 1 diabetes is sometimes called insulin-dependent, or juvenile, diabetes. It is caused by an auto-immune reaction where the body’s defense system attacks the insulin-producing cells located in a person’s pancreas. The reason why this occurs is not fully understood. People with Type 1 diabetes produce very little or no insulin. The disease can affect people of any age, but usually occurs in children or young adults. People with this form of diabetes need injections of insulin every day in order to control the levels of glucose in their blood. Type 1 diabetes patients constitute approximately 10% of the overall number of patients, but are much more extensive users of SMBG, as these diabetics need to measure their glucose levels 4-10 times day (versus the typical once or twice a day for a Type 2 diabetic patient). The vast majority of Type 1 diabetes patients are insulin dependent.

 

Type 2 diabetes is sometimes called adult-onset diabetes and accounts for at least 90% of all cases of diabetes. It is characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency, either of which may be present at the time that diabetes becomes clinically manifest. The diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes usually occurs after the age of 40 but can occur earlier, especially in populations with high diabetes prevalence. Type 2 diabetes can remain undetected for many years and the diagnosis is often made from associated complications or incidentally through an abnormal blood or urine glucose test. It is often, but not always, associated with obesity, which itself can cause insulin resistance and lead to elevated blood glucose levels, which can cause the same long-term damage as occurs in Type 1 diabetes. A growing portion of the Type 2 diabetes patients are insulin dependent or use insulin as part of their treatment.

 

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a form of diabetes consisting of high blood glucose levels during pregnancy. It develops in one in 25 pregnancies worldwide and is associated with complications in the time period immediately before and after birth. GDM usually disappears after pregnancy but women with GDM and their offspring are at an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life. Approximately half of women with a history of GDM go on to develop Type 2 diabetes within five to ten years after delivery.

 

40
 

 

We also believe we will be able to target patients with pre-diabetes, also called metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Studies have shown that pre-diabetes affects more than 20% of the population in the Western world, and its prevalence increases with age. This population is typically prescribed with periodic lab-based glucose level testing (which requires a doctor visit, significantly reducing the compliance level) and typically does not involve the utilization of self monitoring glucose devices.

 

The Diabetic and SMBG Markets and the Dario Solution

 

Diabetes is a growing epidemic for which no cure exists, but for which treatments (including a regimen of frequent blood glucose testing) are available.  According to International Diabetes Foundation (IDF), some 366 million people worldwide, or 8.3% of adults, are estimated to have diabetes in 2011. About 80% live in low- and middle-income countries. If these trends continue, by 2030, some 552 million people, or one adult in 10, will have diabetes.  In Europe, the diabetic population was approximately 52.6 million in 2011 according to IDF, and there were approximately 25.8 million diabetics in the U.S. in 2011 according to the American Diabetes Association.  The medical Journal Lancet has reported that number of worldwide diabetics has doubled over the past thirty years.  While about 70% of the increase has been attributed in the Lancet report to population growth and aging, the balance was linked to changing diets, rising obesity levels and less physical activity.  In the U.S., one in four adults has diabetes.  An additional 79 million U.S. adults have pre-diabetes, which puts them at high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.  Approximately 138 million adult diabetics live in China and India, with approximately 12 million in Brazil and 10 million in Russia.  Many public health experts consider the rise in diabetes to be more alarming than the rise in high blood pressure rates and cholesterol levels.

 

It is also estimated that the costs of diabetes complications account for between 5% and 10% of total healthcare spending in the world.  Early diagnosis of warning signs and ongoing monitoring of diabetes are the keys to the prevention and treatment of the disease, with blood glucose monitoring being the primary method of diagnosis and disease management, coupled with matching blood glucose readings with food (i.e., carbohydrate) and insulin or other medication intake. 

 

Since blood glucose self-monitoring is a key part of managing diabetes, the market for SMBG products required to service these many patients is also large.  According to Business Insights, the global diabetes device market was estimated to be worth $13.9 billion in 2010, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.6% from 2005 to 2010). In 2010, 71% of the market’s value was made up by the sales of glucose monitoring devices, mainly dominated by SMBG devices. The market for SMBG was $9.6 billion in 2010 and is forecast to reach $12.6 billion by 2016, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 4.6% from 2010 to 2016). The biggest drivers for growth in the diabetes device market will be the increased prevalence and awareness of diabetes. The U.S. is the largest market, contributing close to 40% of the global market for these devices.  In fact, the SMBG testing market, which barely existed in 1980, now accounts for approximately a quarter of the entire in vitro diagnostics industry.   

 

Key factors driving market growth include increasing diabetic population, growing patient awareness, technological advancements and increasing number of patients adopting blood glucose self-monitoring. In addition, the affordable cost of blood glucose test strips, and increase in daily monitoring, are also expected to contribute to market growth. As such, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) represents a large market that has grown significantly over the past 30 years and is expected to continue to grow.

 

We have specifically designed Dario to compete in this vast market. As described above, Dario is a fully integrated disposable strip/adaptor device, combined with a lancet that, combined with the common smartphone, could replace the need for self-powered glucose meters and the associated kit which are the current standard of care.

Industry Background and the Dario Opportunity

 

From a competition perspective, four companies currently dominate the SMBG business, controlling approximately 90% of the market: Roche Diagnostics (part of Hoffman-LaRoche), LifeScan (a Johnson & Johnson company), Bayer Healthcare Division, and Abbott Laboratories. These “big four” offer a wide variety of SMBG products and have led the market since the late 1990s. Numerous second-tier and third-tier competitors, including several in Asia, hold the remaining 10% of the market. We believe that the SMBG offerings by all vendors are pretty much the same, with very mild differentiation of the main feature sets of the devices. This is akin to the differentiation among personal computers (PCs) during the 1990s and 2000s, where most of them had the same key feature set of Microsoft Windows and Intel Processors.

 

We believe that now is the time to change the SMBG market. Dario is offering a fresh look at SMBG. Dario’s design is intended to eliminate the need for separate glucose monitors or carb-calculators and awkward and cumbersome connectivity to computer-based results diaries. Our intention is for Dario to bring glucose monitoring to the mobile age and we will seek to secure significant market share through Dario’s novel approach to SMBG.

 

With respect to the U.S. SMBG market, the principal barriers to entry (all of which we believe the features of Dario can overcome) can be summarized as follows:

 

·Achieving significant product differentiation in the eyes of diabetes patients or insurance payers. We believe that Dario offers a novel design that is compatible with the usability of the current devices, yet offers a modern look and feel when compared to products in the marketplace. Marketing of the product directly to consumers will emphasize the product’s distinguishing attributes, without incurring the significant product introduction expenses typically incurred for the marketing of a standard glucometer via traditional retail channels.

 

·Costs. We anticipate that low manufacturing costs for the Dario adaptor and the similarity to our competitors’ estimated cost of manufacturing the strips, when coupled with the direct-to-consumer marketing, creates the potential for providing us with a meaningful cost advantage versus most vendors of traditional glucometers.

 

·Difficulty obtaining shelf space at the pharmacy. With many products on the market, a new entrant has to battle for visibility on the shelf. Dario will avoid this obstacle by utilizing Internet based direct-to-consumer marketing and sales.

 

·The challenge of influencing diabetes specialists to recommend another SMBG product to patients. We will seek to introduce and present Dario to the medical community through our participation in academic and professional conferences. Dario will mainly be marketed directly to our target users, who we believe are increasingly becoming the primary decision makers in choosing their glucose monitoring equipment.

 

We thus believe that Dario’s specific features and trends in the marketplace create a significant opportunity to penetrate the market and effectively compete with and gain market share against the established players.

Utilization of Mobile Health Applications

 

Smartphone applications are becoming the “killer apps” for mobile health solutions (so called mHealth). Although the potential benefits of mHealth solutions have been widely discussed for over a decade, the market is now starting to emerge from the trial phase. According to a publicly available 2010 study by research2guidance, smartphone applications will enable the mHealth industry to reach 500 million of a total 1.4 billion worldwide smartphone users in 2015. We believe that Dario is designed to play directly into this trend.

 

Currently more than 70% of the mHealth applications in major “app stores” are adhering to the paid business model according to research2guidance. With more and more traditional healthcare providers joining the mobile applications market, we expect the business models will broaden to include healthcare services, advertising and drug sales revenues. According to research2guidance, with the growing sophistication level of mHealth applications, only 14% of the total market revenue in the next 5 years will come from application download, advertisement and transaction revenue, whereas 76% of total mHealth application market revenue will come from related services and products. We believe that Dario will be well-positioned to benefit from that trend.

 

Dario will be accompanied by its own smartphone and web-based application that will allow users to easily record, transmit and store key data points such as glucose level, insulin and carbohydrate intake. The app will also incorporate community-based social networking components aimed at making use of Dario more attractive to users. Potential examples include games with rewards and online competition for compliance in testing and consistency of glucose readings.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Dario will be an Internet-driven product. Dario was designed for the mobile age and will be powered by the Internet as an effective route of launching and marketing new consumer products. We plan to sell directly to consumers and collaborate with distributors and online marketing firms in select jurisdictions. It is estimated that a typical Type 1 diabetes patient, who is testing his or her blood sugar 4 to 10 times a day, uses 120 to 300 strips each month, which, creates the potential for a substantial and predictable revenue stream.

 

On the marketing side, we plan to primarily utilize online marketing in order to create awareness of Dario. Rather than solely rely on online advertisement, we will also consider revenue sharing with affiliate networks and a variety of other pay-for-performance methods commonly used in online commerce.

 

Our initial marketing will be focused on the early adapter diabetics, and we expect to gradually broaden our marketing efforts (and benefitting from viral marketing) toward the entire diabetic population. We plan to initially focus on insulin dependent diabetic patients. While this population constitutes about 20-30% of the diabetic patient population, we estimate it to be responsible for over 40% of the revenue from blood glucose monitoring. Dario’s ease of use and the lack of need for a special glucometer are also expected to be of major appeal to the entire Type 2 diabetes population. With our initial market launch, we expect to address the European and U.S. markets. This will be followed, possibly through marketing collaborations, by targeting additional large markets such as Brazil.

In addition to our direct sales efforts, we plan to utilize distribution partners. On April 25, 2013, we entered our first distribution agreement with Farla Medical Limited, a United Kingdom-based company, under which Farla will act as our exclusive distributor for Dario in the United Kingdom and Belgium. Under the terms of our agreement, Farla will, on an exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicenseable basis, market and distribute Dario and its all-in-one software system and proprietary test strips at agreed upon prices to primary-care medical practices, clinics, hospitals and patients throughout the United Kingdom and Belgium following receipt of CE mark. Farla also will also be responsible for promoting Dario in the named geographies. Planned marketing campaigns are directed to diabetes centers, gatherings of medical professionals, the United Kingdom national healthcare system and social media marketing. We will support Farla’s work to build awareness and drive sales of Dario via patient awareness utilizing its own online presence and will be responsible for obtaining all applicable regulatory registrations for the product (including CE mark approval for Dario, which is in the process of being obtained). The term of our agreement with Farla is for three (3) years, subject to automatic twelve (12) month renewal terms unless terminated. The agreement is subject to earlier termination for cause.

 

In addition, on June 24, 2013, we entered into a similar distribution agreement with Harmonium Pharma, an Italian company. Under the terms of the agreement, Harmonium will exclusively market and distribute Dario and its all-in-one software system and proprietary test strips to primary-care medical practices, clinics, hospitals and patients throughout Italy following receipt of CE mark. Planned marketing campaigns are directed to diabetes centers, gatherings of medical professionals, the Italian national healthcare system and social media outlets. LabStyle will support Harmonium’s work to build awareness and drive sales of Dario via patient awareness utilizing its own online presence. The term of our agreements with Harmonium is for three (3) years unless earlier terminated. The agreement is subject to earlier termination for cause.

 

We also expect to collaborate with the medical community to showcase what we expect will be Dario’s clinical equivalence and usability superiority. In this regard, on April 28, 2013, we signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with a large, multispecialty academic medical center to advance the development of clinical diagnostics utilizing smartphones.  Under the framework agreed to in the memorandum, our company and the center will leverage our respective expertise to advance the development of medical devices and software utilizing smartphones for the personal monitoring of blood glucose and blood coagulation.  The center’s biomedical, clinical and commercialization expertise is expected to combine with our intellectual property, technological, software development and business development expertise to advance projects that could result in new products or technologies in these fields. The memorandum of understanding is not formally binding, and potential definitive arrangements between us and the center with respect to applicable projects that advance to a sufficient stage will be memorialized in, and be subject to, appropriate definitive documentation to be agreed to by the parties.

 

Manufacturing

 

As we do not plan to engage in manufacturing activity ourselves, we plan to have supply agreements with manufacturers for the Dario device, glucose test strips, lancing devices and lancets. We have arrangements in place with commercial scale manufacturers for both the Dario devices and for our test strips. In addition, we have invested in and own certain specialty manufacturing equipment required to produce the Dario devices.

 

In June 2012, we entered into an agreement with a Korean supplier to supply test strips, connectors and other related components for Dario. The agreement covers a period of three years, but the agreement provides that we have no obligation to continue work with this supplier as it is cancellable upon specified notice. We believe that other suppliers could be obtained if necessary.

 

44
 

 

In addition, in September 2012, we entered into an initial work order arrangement with a U.S. manufacturer to effectuate the final commercial design for, and manufacture, the molds for the Dario devices. Work commenced under this arrangement in the fourth quarter of 2012, with the goals of (i) producing the initial devices, (ii) estimating the costs to produce additional devices at scale and (iii) exploring alternatives, if required, to reduce the cost of the devices. These efforts have yielded positive results and manufacturing cost savings. As we move closer to full commercial scale manufacturing activities in anticipation of our commercial launch of Dario in 2013, we expect to enter into a formal supply agreement with this U.S. manufacturer which we expect would cover a period of two years with no obligation to continue work with the supplier as it is cancellable upon specified notice. As of the date of this prospectus, the formal agreement has not been signed. We believe that other suppliers could be obtained if necessary, and we own the specialized equipment used to manufacture Dario devices.

 

Insurance Reimbursement

 

In the United States and in other jurisdictions such as Germany and England, we expect that Dario’s test strips should generally be available for full or partial patient reimbursement by third-party payors.  We expect to work with third-party payors in the countries into which we expect to market Dario in order to establish coverage for test strips, although we cannot be sure of this being obtained.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have begun this process, either on our own or third parties such as Farla, in anticipation of our 2013 commercial launch of Dario in Europe.

 

Clinical Trials

 

In June 2013, we completed a required User Performance evaluation study to evaluate the accuracy of blood glucose level results obtained from fingertip using Dario compared to reference equipment (YSI 2300 STATPLUS) and to evaluate the ease of use of the Dario device by the first time user. This study was in connection with our regulatory submissions for the product in Europe and accordance with ISO 15197:2003. The study was performed in Israel with the Dario device and included 230 participants, whose ages were between 8 and 80, under varied diabetic conditions. The subjects were recruited from 3 different sites: the diabetes clinic at Wolfson Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Hertzelia Medical Center in Hertzelia and from Diabetic Medical Center (DMC) in Tel Aviv. As required by Israeli law, the study was confirmed by a local ethical committee.

 

The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the accuracy of the Dario compared with the YSI reference device and to evaluate how the first time users of the Dario (1) use it under minimal guidance materials (i.e., quick user guide and iPhone App) in an effort to demonstrate how the use of the Dario device and related software could potentially improve patient care and diabetic compliance, (2) to understand the potential weaknesses of the device and introduce methods of overcoming them to the users and (3) to establish the proposition that any user can operate the device compared to other devices on the market.

 

For the blood glucose levels results above 75 mg/dL, 96.2% of the patients met the minimum acceptable accuracy as described in the ISO 15197:2003. For the blood glucose levels results below 75 mg/dL, 100% of the patients met the minimum acceptable accuracy as described in the ISO 15197:2003.

 

Over 95% of the patients indicated that the Dario was easy to use, understood training materials and easily used the I-phone application. The data base had been locked and was included in our European CE mark regulatory filing.

 

Government Regulation

 

The principal markets that we are initially targeting for Dario are the European Union and the United States. The following is an overview of the regulatory regimes in these jurisdictions as well as in Brazil, which we currently believe will be the third geographic location we may target.

 

45
 

 

United States Regulation Generally

 

In the United States, devices are subject to varying levels of regulatory control, the most comprehensive of which requires that a clinical evaluation be conducted before a device receives approval for commercial distribution.  Under Section 201(h) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, a medical device is an article, which, among other things, is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, in man or other animals. We believe that Dario will be classified as a medical device and subject to regulation by numerous agencies and legislative bodies, including the FDA and its foreign counterparts.  FDA regulations govern product design and development, pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, pre-market clearance or approval, advertising and promotion, and sales and distribution. Specifically, the FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes.  Class I devices are relatively simple and can be manufactured and distributed with general controls.  Class II devices are somewhat more complex and require greater scrutiny.  Class III devices are new and frequently help sustain life.

 

In the United States, a company generally can obtain permission to distribute a new device in two ways – through a Section 510(k) premarket notification application or through a Section 515 premarket approval application.  The 510(k) submission applies to any device that is substantially equivalent to a device first marketed prior to May 1976 or to another device marketed after that date, but which was substantially equivalent to a pre-May 1976 device.   Under the 510(k) submission process, the FDA will issue an order finding substantial equivalence to a predicate device (pre-May 1976 or post-May 1976 device that was substantially equivalent to a pre-May 1976 device) and permitting commercial distribution of that device for its intended use.  A 510(k) submission must provide information supporting its claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate device.  The FDA permits certain low risk medical devices to be marketed without requiring the manufacturer to submit a premarket notification.  In other instances, the FDA may require that a premarket notification not only be submitted, but also be accompanied by clinical data.  If clinical data from human experience is required to support the 510(k) submission, this data must be gathered in compliance with investigational device exemption regulations for investigations performed in the United States.  The FDA review process for premarket notifications submitted pursuant to section 510(k) should take about 90 days, but it can take substantially longer if the agency has concerns, and there is no guarantee that the agency will clear the device for marketing, in which case the device cannot be distributed in the United States.  Nor is there any guarantee that the agency will deem the device subject to the 510(k) process, as opposed to the more time-consuming, resource intensive and problematic PMA process described below.

 

Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States will require either a prior 510(k) clearance or a pre-market approval (or PMA) from the FDA. We believe that Dario will be classified as Class II and that we will make a 510(k) submission for the product; however, no assurances can be given that it will not be classified as Class III device requiring a PMA. Both the 510(k) clearance and PMA processes can be expensive and lengthy and entail significant user fees, unless exempt. We will follow the commonly used industry practice, including those described in the FDA draft guidelines for glucose monitors and test strips, such as “Total Product Life Cycle for Portable Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems.”

 

As mentioned above, to obtain 510(k) clearance for Dario or any of our potential future devices (or for certain modifications to devices that have received 510(k) clearance), we must submit a pre-market notification demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device or a pre-amendment device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which the FDA has not yet called for the submission of a PMA application. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance pathway generally takes from three to twelve months from the date the application is completed, but can take significantly longer. After a medical device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a significant change in its intended use, requires a new 510(k) clearance.

 

46
 

 

Moreover, devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device or device in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which PMAs have not been required, generally require a PMA before they can be commercially distributed. Although PMAs may be required for our potential future products, we do not believe a PMA will be required for Dario. A PMA application must be supported by extensive data, including technical, pre-clinical, one or more clinical trials, manufacturing and labeling to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device. After a PMA application is complete, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the submitted information, which generally takes between one and three years, but may take significantly longer. After any pre-market approval, a new pre-market approval application or application supplement may be required in the event of modifications to the device, its labeling, intended use or indication or its manufacturing process. In addition, any PMA approval may be conditioned upon the manufacturer conducting post-market surveillance and testing.

 

European and Non-European Regulation Generally

 

Sales of medical devices outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. These laws and regulations range from simple product registration requirements in some countries to complex clearance and production controls in others. As a result, the processes and time periods required to obtain foreign marketing approval may be longer or shorter than those necessary to obtain FDA approval.

 

For countries in the European Union, medical devices must display a CE Mark before they may be imported or sold and must comply with the requirements of the European Medical Device Directive or the Active Implantable Medical Device Directive, which we refer to as the MDD or the In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD).  We anticipate that Dario will be subject to the MDD as well as subject to the IVDD.  Compliance with the MDD as well as the IVDD Directives and obtaining a CE Mark involve obtaining International Organization for Standardization, or ISO 13485 certification, an internationally recognized quality system, and approval of the product’s technical file by a notified body that is recognized by applicable authorities of an EU Member State.

 

We have initiated the procedures seeking the CE Mark regulatory approval.  DEKRA has been selected as our Notified Body.  DEKRA conducted the first audit of our company in October 2012 and we completed the technical files needed for CE marking, subject to regulatory review.

 

We may also seek regulatory approval to market Dario in foreign countries that do not rely on the CE Mark. To date, the only non-CE Mark jurisdictions which we have identified as an intended target market for our product are South Africa, Russia, India and Brazil, with Brazil currently being the most likely jurisdiction we will target after the EU and the United States. To the extent that we seek to market our product in other non-CE Mark countries in the future, we will be required to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements in each such country.  Such regulatory requirements vary by country and may be onerous.  As a result, no assurance can be given that we will be able to satisfy the regulatory requirements to sell our products in any such country.

 

For example, in Brazil, all medical devices imported into or distributed within Brazil must first be registered with the Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária, also known as ANVISA or the National Health Surveillance Agency. Established in 1993 under Brazil’s Ministry of Health, ANVISA is an independently administered, financially autonomous regulatory agency responsible for the regulation and oversight of medical devices and other medical products in Brazil. Specifically, ANVISA is responsible for the registration of medical devices and for the maintenance of a registered products database. Unlike the EU notified body system or the 510(k) system of the FDA, ANVISA performs all registration and inspection functions within the agency.

 

47
 

 

Only companies based in Brazil can apply for ANVISA registration. Therefore, companies (like ours) based elsewhere that do not have subsidiaries in Brazil must depend on Brazilian-based third parties, such as hosting companies, distributors and dealers, to obtain ANVISA registration for medical devices. Under such an arrangement, the local third party holds the ANVISA registration, and a manufacturer must maintain an effective commercial relationship with a third party to ensure the ongoing maintenance of a registration.

 

Clinical Studies

 

Even when a clinical study has been approved or cleared by the FDA or a notified body or deemed approved, the study is subject to factors beyond a manufacturer’s control, including, but not limited to the fact that the institutional review board at a given clinical site might not approve the study, might decline to renew approval which is required annually, or might suspend or terminate the study before the study has been completed. There is no assurance that a clinical study at any given site will progress as anticipated; the interim results of a study may not be satisfactory leading the sponsor or others to terminate the study, there may be an insufficient number of patients who qualify for the study or who agree to participate in the study, or the investigator at the site may have priorities other than the study. Also, there can be no assurance that the clinical study will provide sufficient evidence to assure the FDA or a notified body that the product is substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to a predicate device, a prerequisite for clearance under 510(k).  

 

Post-Clearance Matters

 

Even if the FDA or a notified body approves or clears a device, it may limit its intended uses in such a way that manufacturing and distributing the device may not be commercially feasible. After clearance or approval to market is given, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies, upon the occurrence of certain events, are authorized under various circumstances to withdraw the clearance or approval or require changes to a device, its manufacturing process or its labeling or additional proof that regulatory requirements have been met.

 

A manufacturer of a device approved through the premarket approval application process is not permitted to make changes to the device which affects its safety or effectiveness without first submitting a supplement application to its premarket approval application and obtaining FDA approval for that supplement.  In some instances, the FDA may require a clinical trial to support a supplement application.  A manufacturer of a device cleared through a 510(k) submission must submit another premarket notification if it intends to make a change or modification in the device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, such as a significant change or modification in design, material, chemical composition, energy source or manufacturing process.  Any change in the intended uses of a premarket approval application device or a 510(k) device requires an approval supplement or cleared premarket notification.  Exported devices are subject to the regulatory requirements of each country to which the device is exported, as well as certain FDA export requirements.

 

48
 

 

Mobile Medical Applications Guideline

 

On July 21, 2011, the FDA issued a draft guideline for comment related to mobile medical applications, which we refer to herein as the Guideline. Under the Guideline, the FDA plans to apply its regulatory oversights to certain types of mobile medical devices. We anticipate that Dario will be subject to the Guideline.

 

Ongoing Regulation by FDA and International Regulators

 

Even after a device receives clearance or approval and is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply. These include:

 

·establishment registration and device listing;

 

·quality system regulation, which requires manufacturers, including third party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process;

 

·labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or “off-label” uses, and other requirements related to promotional activities;

 

·medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;

 

·corrections and removals reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that may present a risk to health; and

 

·post-market surveillance regulations, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.

 

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, and other regulatory agencies, which may include any of the following sanctions: fines, injunctions, civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of our current or future products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production, refusing our request for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of new products, rescinding previously granted 510(k) clearances or withdrawing previously granted PMA approvals.

 

We may be subject to announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of our subcontractors. If, as a result of these inspections, the FDA determines that our or our subcontractor’s equipment, facilities, laboratories or processes do not comply with applicable FDA regulations and conditions of product approval, the FDA may seek civil, criminal or administrative sanctions and/or remedies against us, including the suspension of our manufacturing and selling operations.

 

International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign government regulations, which may vary substantially from country to country. The time required to obtain approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval, and the requirements may differ. There is a trend towards harmonization of quality system standards among the European Union, United States, Canada and various other industrialized countries.

 

49
 

 

State Licensure Requirements

 

Several states require that durable medical equipment (or DME) providers be licensed in order to sell products to patients in that state. Certain of these states require that DME providers maintain an in-state location. If these rules are determined to be applicable to us and if we were found to be noncompliant, we could lose our licensure in that state, which could prohibit us from selling our current or future products to patients in that state.

 

Federal Anti-Kickback and Self-Referral Laws

 

The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce the:

 

·referral of a person;

 

·furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs; or

 

·purchase, lease, or order of, or the arrangement or recommendation of the purchasing, leasing, or ordering of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs.

 

To the extent we are required to comply with these regulations, it is possible that regulatory authorities could allege that we have not complied, which could subject us to sanction. Noncompliance with the federal anti-kickback legislation can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs, restrictions on our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions, as well as civil and criminal penalties, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Federal law also includes a provision commonly known as the “Stark Law,” which prohibits a physician from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity providing “designated health services,” including a company that furnishes durable medical equipment, in which the physician has an ownership or investment interest or with which the physician has entered into a compensation arrangement. Violation of the Stark Law could result in denial of payment, disgorgement of reimbursements received under a noncompliant arrangement, civil penalties, and exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs.

 

Federal False Claims Act

 

The Federal False Claims Act provides, in part, that the federal government may bring a lawsuit against any person whom it believes has knowingly presented, or caused to be presented, a false or fraudulent request for payment from the federal government, or who has made a false statement or used a false record to get a claim approved. In addition, amendments in 1986 to the Federal False Claims Act have made it easier for private parties to bring “qui tam” whistleblower lawsuits against companies. Penalties include fines ranging from $5,500 to $11,000 for each false claim, plus three times the amount of damages that the federal government sustained because of the act of that person.

 

50
 

 

Civil Monetary Penalties Law

 

The Federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law prohibits the offering or transferring of remuneration to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular supplier of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services. Noncompliance can result in civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each wrongful act, assessment of three times the amount claimed for each item or service and exclusion from the Federal healthcare programs.

 

State Fraud and Abuse Provisions

 

Many states have also adopted some form of anti-kickback and anti-referral laws and false claims acts. A determination of liability under such laws could result in fines and penalties and restrictions on our ability to operate in these jurisdictions.

 

Administrative Simplification of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996

 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, mandated the adoption of standards for the exchange of electronic health information in an effort to encourage overall administrative simplification and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare industry. Ensuring privacy and security of patient information is one of the key factors driving the legislation.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Patent applications

 

On May 8, 2011, certain of our founders filed Patent Cooperation Treaty (or PCT) Application No. PCT/IL2011/000369, titled “Fluids Testing Apparatus and Methods of Use”. This PCT took priority from two preceding U.S. provisional applications filed by our founders, with the earliest priority date being May 9, 2010. The PCT application was transferred to us by our founders on October 27, 2011.

 

This application covers the novel blood glucose measurement device, comprising the glucometer; and an adaptor that connects the glucometer to a smart-phone to receive power supply and data display, storage and analysis. A PCT search report and written opinion on patentability we received from World Intellectual Property Organization (known as WIPO) was very positive, including only two “Y” citations, meaning no significant prior art was found with regards to novelty and inventiveness of the application. Corresponding national applications of our PCT were filed in November 2012 in the U.S., Europe, Israel, Brazil, China, Australia, India, South Africa and Germany.

 

Additional provisional applications were recently filed covering the data flow and architecture as well as future development of the device, and additional patent applications are expected to be filed covering additional aspects of the core Dario technology.

 

We are also preparing numerous additional patent filings related to the core Dario technology. We are also seeking to develop and protect new intellectual property around future generations of Dario hardware and software with the goal of achieving enhanced functionality, user interface and data usability.

 

Design patent applications on the device

 

To create market distinction and branding for Dario, three US Design Applications have been filed covering the glucometer and the cartridge.

 

51
 

 

Design patent applications on the Dario App

 

In addition, three US Design Applications have been filed covering our smartphone display screens with graphical user interface.

 

Trademark applications

 

We have also filed four trademark applications covering the Dario name, logo and the “Nothing Holds Me Back” slogan for Dario.

 

Protection on disposable test strip cartridge

 

The Dario device includes a disposable part containing the test strips. To protect the disposable part and prevent generic competition, we have sought several complementary protection means, including recognition of the Dario strips by the device as well as for ensuring that the strips are kept in appropriate conditions of humidity and expiry. There are additional design elements used to recognize the cartridge for which protection is also being sought.

 

Other intangible assets

 

As the number of Dario users grows, large amount of data will be collected from diabetic patients, comprising their blood sugar levels, meal composition and timing, physical exercise (intensity and duration) as well as many other factors, which are useful for creating meaningful correlations between these factors and insulin use. We expect that this database will be highly valuable and may be capitalized in many ways. The accumulation of this type of know-how and related algorithms are protected as trade secrets using specialized confidentiality protocols.

 

Our intellectual property is continuously reviewed and monitored by our management and is timely protected as soon as it is created. In addition, we regularly review and monitor the intellectual property of our competition and the developments in the field.

 

Competition

 

We face competition principally from two arenas:

 

Direct competition from existing companies in the blood based glucose monitors market. We will compete directly and primarily with large pharmaceutical and medical device companies, including, but not limited to, Abbott Laboratories, Bayer Healthcare Division, Johnson & Johnson LifeScan, Roche Diagnostics and Sanofi. While the market is highly competitive, we believe that Dario will carry numerous significant comparative advantages versus other devices in the market. Some of these devices are now offered as connected devices to smartphones, such as the Sanofi iBGStar.

 

The Dario device is offering an all-in-one glucose monitoring system, including a small form factor glucose reader, lancing device and a strip cartridge connected to existing smartphones, which will enable Dario to offer features that are similar to or superior to the most advanced meters in the market (such as the Contour and Ultrasmart) while having a smaller form factor than the compact meters in the market (FreeStyle Lite and OneTouch UltraMini). We believe this design will be attractive to diabetic patients.

 

Non-invasive and continuous blood glucose monitors. While there are numerous continuous blood glucose monitoring technologies in the market, we believe they are expensive to use and are therefore offered mainly for temporary usage and in medical settings (such as hospitals). There have been a wealth of attempts for non invasive glucose monitors, but we are not aware of any that are available in the market or are expected to reach the market with significant presence over the next few years.

 

52
 

 

Employees

 

We currently have 22 employees. We have employment agreements with our three executive officers. See “Management – Employment Agreements.”

 

Facilities

 

We maintain our headquarters at Gibor Sport Tower, 7 Menahem Begin Street, 23rd Floor, Ramat Gan, Israel 52681. We believe our facilities are adequate for our current operations.

 

Previous Financings

 

To date, we have undertaken the following private placement transactions:

 

Founders Shares

 

In connection with our formation in August 2011 and the contribution of intellectual property to our company in October 2011, our founders (including an affiliate of Dr. Oren Fuerst, Dr. David Weintraub and Shilo Ben Zeev, each of whom are executives and/or directors of our company) received an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of common stock for nominal consideration.

 

Also, on August 11, 2011, in connection with our formation, we closed a private placement of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to an aggregate of 9 accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000.

 

Our 2011-2012 Private Placement

 

On October 27, 2011, we conducted the initial closing of a private placement offering (which we refer to herein as our 2011-2012 Private Placement) of an aggregate of 2,461,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,461,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share out of which 130,000 warrants (141,305 warrants after anti-dilutive adjustments as describe below) were exercised as of the date of this prospectus. The remaining outstanding warrants are exercisable at any time within five (5) years from October 27, 2011. The $1.50 exercise price was adjusted to $1.30 per share due to the August 2012 Private Placement described below and the number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants was adjusted upward by 371,017 shares in the aggregate as a result of the completion of all three tranches of the August 2012 Private Placement as described below.

 

The final closing of the 2011-2012 Private Placement occurred on March 30, 2012. There were a total of 45 accredited investors in the 2011-2012 Private Placement. Spencer Trask Ventures, Inc. (who we refer to herein as Spencer Trask), acted as the placement agent for the 2011-2012 Private Placement. The gross proceeds to us from the 2011-2012 Private Placement were $2.461 million. We have registered the shares of common stock, and shares of common stock underlying the warrants, issued in the 2011-2012 Private Placement for public resale by the selling stockholders named herein and their assigns pursuant to a registration statement which was declared effective on February 14, 2013.

 

53
 

 

As part of its compensation for acting as placement agent for the 2011-2012 Private Placement, we issued warrants to Spencer Trask and its designees to purchase an aggregate of 482,200 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 and additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 482,200 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share (subsequently adjusted downward to $1.30) out of which 39,750 and 29,040 (31,365 warrants after anti-dilutive adjustments as describe below), respectively, were exercised as of the date of this prospectus. Such remaining outstandingwarrants contain a “cashless exercise” feature and are exercisable at any time prior to April 8, 2016. We are not registering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to Spencer Trask for public resale. Due to the completion of all three tranches of the August 2012 Private Placement described below, the shares underlying Spencer Trask’s warrants were increased by 72,455 shares in the aggregate.

 

Total received upon the exercise of warrants from the 2011-2012 Private Placement as of the date of this prospectus amounted to $195,000.

 

Our August 2012 Private Placement

 

On August 31, 2012, we consummated a private placement transaction (which we refer to as the August 2012 Private Placement) with 13 accredited investors, including existing stockholders of our company. Pursuant to this financing, we issued an aggregate of 500,014 shares of our common stock at a price equal to $1.00 per share (for gross proceeds of $500,014) and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,014 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

 

In addition, the investors in the August 2012 Private Placement irrevocably committed to purchase an additional 1,000,022 shares of common stock in the aggregate at $1.00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,022 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $1,000,022. Such purchases were agreed to take place in two tranches (each consisting of 500,011 shares and 500,011 warrants): the first on the 90th day following the date (which we refer to as the Funding Trigger Date) as of which both: (A) registration statement covering the shares of our common stock issued and underlying warrants issued in our August 2012 Private Placement has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (B) we have received a ticker symbol for our common stock and caused our common stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, OTCQB Market or similar trading system and the second on the 180th day following the Funding Trigger Date. To evidence this irrevocable commitment, each investor executed a promissory note in our favor to fund for their pro rata portion of the additional investments as of the foregoing dates. The total gross proceeds from the August 2012 Private Placement assuming funding of all three tranches are $1,500,036, not including any potential warrant exercises.

One-half of the warrants issued in the August 2012 Private Placement have an exercise period ending on April 8, 2014, and the exercise period for the remaining one-half of the warrants ends on April 8, 2015.

 

On February 11, 2013, in order to ensure the compliance of the August 2012 Private Placement with the requirements of the federal securities laws, we entered into an Addendum with the investors in the August 2012 Private Placement. The Addendum modifies the timing for the second and third tranche of the August 2012 private placement and provides that such second tranche will be funded by the 5th business day following the effectiveness of our Form S-1 declared on February 14, 2013 and the third tranche on or before the 100th day following the date (which was April 8, 2013) on which both: (i) any registration statement covering the sale or resale of any of our securities is declared effective and (ii) we have received a ticker symbol for our common stock and caused our common stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, OTCQB Market or similar trading system. The amount and pricing of the securities to be purchased in such second and third tranche was not modified, and the investors remain irrevocably committed to funding their portions of such tranches. As a result of the foregoing, the third tranche was due to be funded by no later than July 17, 2013.

In August 2012, upon the approval of the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, Dr. Fuerst’s annual salary was increased to $252,000, starting from August 2012. Since Dr. Fuerst receives part of his salary from our Israeli subsidiary denominated in New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”), the compensation received from the Israeli subsidiary is calculated for purposes of this table based on the annual average currency exchange. Amounts of salary do not include $18,500 which was earned but not paid at December 31, 2012.
(2)In accordance with his employment agreement, Dr. Fuerst is entitled to receive bonuses based on his achieving the following milestones: (a) $96,000 in the event we achieve data lock on least one clinical study required for FDA and/or CE Mark regulatory approval, (b) $48,000 in the event we make a 510K regulatory submission with the FDA for regulatory clearance of a company product, (c) $48,000 in the event we obtain a European notified body CE Mark clearance for a company product, (d) $48,000 in the event we obtain a market clearance for a company product in a market not covered by FDA or CE with a population in excess of 100,000,000 and (e) $96,000 in the event we obtain FDA regulatory clearance for a company product. Dr. Fuerst is also entitled to receive additional bonuses for five years in connection with strategic transactions that Dr. Fuerst has helped to consummate. As of December 31, 2012, Dr. Fuerst was entitled to receive a bonus at the amount of $96,000 in light of the achieving of the first milestone described above. However, the bonus had not been paid as of December 31, 2012.
(3)In accordance with his employment agreement with our company, Dr. Fuerst was entitled to receive fully-vested options to purchase shares of our common stock equal to three percent (3%) of our issued and outstanding capital stock on an as-converted fully diluted basis (but no less than 500,000 shares). Pursuant to Dr. Fuerst’s employment agreement and for accounting purposes, the exercise price of such options was set at $1.00 per share; provided, that the exercise price remained subject to modification if deemed appropriate by our board of directors. In June 2012, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors approved initial option grants under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. As part of this approval, the Compensation Committee approved a reduction in the exercise price of the options Dr. Fuerst was entitled to receive from $1.00 to $0.52 and issued additional options at $0.52 per share. As such, Dr. Fuerst was granted an aggregate of 750,000 options with an exercise price of $0.52 per share. In September 2012, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors clarified that 330,000 of these options vested immediately, and 420,000 are subject to 2-year vesting in equal increments on annual basis. The value of the granted options for purposes of this table was derived using the Black-Sholes model. In March and June, 2013, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors approved additional grants of options under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. For further details, see “Employment Agreements” below. We may grant Dr. Fuerst additional options to purchase shares of common stock from time to time at the discretion of our board of directors or the Compensation Committee thereof.

The value of the granted options for purposes of this table was derived using the Black-Sholes model. In March and June, 2013, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors approved additional grants of options under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

Weintraub, Hoenlein and Stern) will receive the following cash payments: (i) $25,000 per year, to be paid quarterly in arrears and (ii) $16,000 for Board committee service, to be paid quarterly in arrears; provided, however, that for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, such quarterly payments and committee meeting fees shall accrue and shall be payable upon the approval of Dr. Fuerst at such time when our company is adequately capitalized in his reasonable discretion.

All Annual Director Options or other equity incentives issued under our non-employee director remuneration policy shall be deemed to have been issued under an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Compensation Committee Review

 

For each fiscal year following 2013, the Compensation Committee shall, if it deems necessary or prudent in its discretion, reevaluate and approve in January of each such year (or in any event prior to the first board meeting of such fiscal year) the cash and equity awards (amount and manner or method of payment) to be made to non-employee directors for such fiscal year. In making this determination, the Compensation Committee shall utilize such market standard metrics as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, an analysis of cash compensation paid to independent directors of our peer group.

  

The Compensation Committee shall also have the power and discretion to determine in the future whether non-employee directors should receive annual or other grants of options to purchase shares of common stock or other equity incentive awards in such amounts and pursuant to such policies as the Compensation Committee may determine utilizing such market standard metrics as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, an analysis of equity awards granted to independent directors of our peer group.

2012 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On January 23, 2012, our board of directors and a majority of the holders of our then outstanding shares of our common stock adopted a 2012 Equity Incentive Plan for our company (which includes both U.S. and Israeli sub-plans). An aggregate of 2,860,000 shares of our common stock were originally reserved for issuance under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. On January 23, 2012, an Israeli sub-plan was adopted under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which sets forth the terms for the grant of stock awards to Israeli employees or Israeli non-employees. The sub-plan was adopted in accordance with the amended sections 102 and 3(i) of Israel’s Income Tax Ordinance. The sub-plan is part of the 2012 Plan and subject to the same terms and conditions.

 

In February 2013, our board of directors and a majority of the holders of our then outstanding shares of our common stock adopted an amendment to our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the shares reserved thereunder from 2,860,000 to 5,000,000.

 

The following table provides information as of March 31, 2013 with respect to options outstanding under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan:

The purpose of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in our development and financial achievements. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors or by the full board, which may determine, among other things, the (a) terms and conditions of any option or stock purchase right granted, including the exercise price and the vesting schedule, (b) persons who are to receive options and stock purchase rights and (c) the number of shares to be subject to each option and stock purchase right. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will provide for the grant of (i) ”incentive” options (qualified under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to employees of our company and (ii) non-qualified options to directors and consultants of our company. In addition, our board has authorized the appointment of Tamir Fishman Equity Plan Services to act as a trustee for grants of options under the Israeli sub-plan to Israeli residents.

 

In connection with the administration of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, our Compensation Committee will:

 

·determine which employees and other persons will be granted awards under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan;

 

·grant the awards to those selected to participate;

 

·determine the exercise price for options; and

 

 

71
 

 

·prescribe any limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any awards, including the vesting conditions of awards.

 

Any grant of awards to any of directors under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan must be approved by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. In addition, our Compensation Committee will:

 

·interpret our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan; and

 

·make all other determinations and take all other action that may be necessary or advisable to implement and administer our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a change of control event, the Compensation Committee or our board of directors shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent to accelerate the vesting, exercise or payment of an award.

 

In addition, our board of directors may amend our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan at any time. However, without stockholder approval, our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan may not be amended in a manner that would:

 

·increase the number of shares that may be issued under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan;

 

·materially modify the requirements for eligibility for participation in our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan;

 

·materially increase the benefits to participants provided by our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan; or

 

·otherwise disqualify our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan for coverage under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Awards previously granted under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan may not be impaired or affected by any amendment of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, without the consent of the affected grantees.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Spencer Trask and its Related Parties

 

In connection with our formation on August 11, 2011, certain affiliates of Spencer Trask Ventures, Inc. and certain other parties not affiliated with our company or Spencer Trask received an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock, for which they agreed to pay an aggregate of $10,000 (or $0.005 per share). Under this transaction, Spencer Trask Investment Partners, LLC, an affiliate of Spencer Trask, purchased 700,000 shares of common stock and Adam K. Stern, a former affiliate of Spencer Trask and also now a director of our company, both individually and through two entities controlled by him, purchased 700,000 shares of our common stock.

 

Spencer Trask, acting as our placement agent in our 2011-2012 Private Placement, received certain cash placement fees and was also granted two warrants: (i) to purchase 482,200 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 out of which 39,750 were exercised through a cashless exercise as of the date of this prospectus and (ii) to purchase 554,655shares of common stock with a current exercise price of $1.30 per share out of which 31,565 were exercised through a cashless exercise as of the date of this prospectus. Such outstanding warrants are exercisable at any time prior to April 8, 2016. Subsequent to issuance, and as permitted under FINRA rules, such warrants were divided and allocated to certain affiliates and individual employees of Spencer Trask.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a placement agent agreement, dated September 8, 2011, between us and Spencer Trask entered into in connection with our 2011-2012 Private Placement, Spencer Trask appointed Adam K. Stern as a member of our board of directors for a two-year term from October 27, 2011. His successor during such two year period, if any, will be chosen by Spencer Trask, subject to our reasonable approval.

 

We also entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement with Spencer Trask on October 27, 2011 which provides that, for a period of two (2) years from March 30, 2012, Spencer Trask has the irrevocable preferential right of first refusal (i) to purchase for its own account or to act as agent for any proposed private offering of securities (equity or debt) by us and (ii) to purchase or sell such securities on terms no less favorable than we can obtain elsewhere. If, within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice of intention and statement of terms, Spencer Trask does not accept in writing such offer to purchase such securities or to act as agent with respect to such offering upon the terms proposed, we will be free to negotiate terms with third parties with respect to such offering and to effect such offering on such proposed terms.

 

In addition, on October 27, 2011, we entered into a non-exclusive Finder’s Fee Agreement with Spencer Trask which provides that if we or any of our affiliates enter into any of certain transactions enumerated in the Finder’s Agreement (including financing transactions and business combinations or similar arrangements) with any party introduced to us by Spencer Trask, directly or indirectly at any time prior to the date which is four (4) years after March 30, 2012, then we shall pay or cause to be paid to Spencer Trask certain cash finder’s fees as follows:

 

(i)7% of the first $1,000,000 or portion thereof of the consideration paid in such
transaction; plus
(ii)6% of the next $1,000,000 or portion thereof of the consideration paid in such transaction; plus
(iii)5% of the next $5,000,000 or portion thereof of the consideration paid in such transaction; plus

 

75
 

 

(iv)4% of the next $1,000,000 or portion thereof of the consideration paid in such transaction; plus
(v)3% of the next $1,000,000 or portion thereof of the consideration paid in such transaction; plus
(vi)2.5% of any consideration paid in such transaction in excess of $9,000,000.

 

On August 20, 2012, we entered into another non-exclusive Finder’s Agreement with Spencer Trask in connection with our October 2012 Private Placement under which we paid to Spencer Trask (i) a cash fee equal to 10% of the consideration actually paid to us by investors introduced to us by Spencer Trask and (ii) a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by investors introduced to us by Spencer Trask and (iii) reimbursement for expenses related to the Private Placement at the amount of up to $10,000.

 

Statement of Policy

 

All future transactions between us and our officers, directors or five percent stockholders, and respective affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who had access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or independent legal counsel.

 

To the best of our knowledge, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).

Anti-Takeover Effect of Delaware Law, Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions

 

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change of control of our company. These provisions are as follows:

 

·they provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, President or our Chairman of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing by stockholders of record owning at least fifty (50%) percent of the issued and outstanding voting shares of common stock;

 

·they do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient number of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. The absence of cumulative voting may have the effect of limiting the ability of minority stockholders to effect changes in our board of directors; and

 

·they allow us to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock that could adversely affect the rights and powers of the holders of our common stock.

 

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the following prescribed manner:

 

·prior to the time of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

·upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; and

 

82
 

  

·on or subsequent to the time of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Generally, for purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, owned 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth information as of the date of this prospectus, to our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholders both before and immediately after the offering. 

 

All of the selling stockholders received their securities: (i) in the May 2013 Private Placement, (ii) in the third tranche of the August 2012 Private Placement, (ii) pursuant to a consulting agreement with SLD Capital Corp. and (iv) in private transactions, in each case prior to the initial filing date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We believe that the selling stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them unless otherwise indicated. 

 

The percent of beneficial ownership for the selling stockholders is based on 19,965,079 shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.  Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock held by certain investors that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this prospectus are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by such investors for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of their respective percentage ownership but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other stockholder.  Unless otherwise stated below, to our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders has had a material relationship with us other than as a stockholder at any time within the past three years or has ever been one of our officers or directors.

 

Pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which a stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power, and also any shares of our common stock which the stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days, including upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. 

 

The shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus may be offered for sale from time to time during the period the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part remains effective, by or for the account of the selling stockholders.  After the date of effectiveness, the selling stockholders may have sold or transferred, in transactions covered by this prospectus or in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, some or all of their common stock.

 

Information about the selling stockholders may change over time.  Any changed information will be set forth in an amendment to the registration statement or supplement to this prospectus, to the extent required by law.

·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus; provided, however, that prior to any such transfer the following information (or such other information as may be required by the federal securities laws from time to time) with respect to each such selling beneficial owner must be added to the prospectus by way of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, as appropriate: (1) the name of the selling beneficial owner; (2) any material relationship the selling beneficial owner has had within the past three years with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates; (3) the amount of securities of the class owned by such beneficial owner before the offering; (4) the amount to be offered for the beneficial owner’s account; and (5) the amount and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be owned by such beneficial owner after the offering is complete.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering, provided, however, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants held by certain investors.

 

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

The maximum amount of compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer for the sale of any securities registered under this prospectus will not be greater than 8.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such securities.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of LabStyle Innovations Corp. at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and for each of the periods ended December 31, 2012, appearing in this prospectus and related registration statement have been audited by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon (which contains an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 1b to the consolidated financial statements) appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. We may also purchase and maintain insurance which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a capacity, and such a policy may be obtained by us in the future.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars (except stock and stock data)

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1:-GENERAL

 

a.LabStyle Innovations Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware and commenced operations on August 11, 2011. The Company’s technology is seeking to bring laboratory testing capabilities to consumers through the use of smartphones. The Company has not generated revenues to date; accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC No. 915, “Development stage entities”.

 

The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, LabStyle Innovation Ltd. (“Ltd.”), incorporated and located in Israel, which commenced operations on September 14, 2011. Its principal business activity is to perform the research and development activities as well as manufacturing and marketing its product.

 

b.During the period of three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities amounting to $3,076,167 and $971,291, respectively. The Company will be required to obtain additional capital resources to maintain its commercialization, research and development activities. The Company is addressing its liquidity issues by seeking additional funding and continuing its efforts to initiate commercial sales of its initial product as soon as practical in 2013. According to the management estimates, based on the Company’s budget, considering the below additional financing, and the assumption that initial commercial sales will commence, the Company will have sufficient liquidity resources to continue its activity at least until January 2014.

 

On February 14, 2013, a registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering the public resale of certain shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) previously issued in private placements or issuances which occurred in 2011-2013 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Commencing on April 9, 2013, the Company received a ticker symbol for its Common Stock and caused the Common Stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the OTCQB Market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTCQB”) under the ticker symbol “DRIO”.

 

The Company will seek to raise capital from public and/or private sources. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its products. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013, the Company’s consolidated results of operations and the Company’s consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 4:-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

 

ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

NOTE 4:-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Cont.)

 

Level 1 -quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

 

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.

 

On March 30, 2012, the Company consummated the final closing of a private placement transaction (the “2011-2012 Private Placement”) pursuant to which the investors purchased an aggregate of 2,461,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 2,461,000 shares of Common Stock at the exercise of $1.50 for total consideration of $2,461,000. The placement agent for the 2011-2012 Private Placement was granted warrants to purchase (i) 482,200 shares of common stock at the exercise price of $1.00 per share and (ii) 482,200 shares of common stock at the exercise price of $1.50 per share. The $1.50 exercise price for both the investors warrants and placement agent warrants were adjusted to approximately $1.38 per share due to a certain anti-dilutive issuance (see also Note 5b) and, accordingly, additional warrants to purchase 214,000 shares of Common Stock and additional warrants to purchase 41,930 shares of Common Stock were granted to such investors and placement agent, respectively.

 

The Company accounts for such warrants held by investors and the Company’s previous placement agent’s (each of which include weighted average anti-dilution protection) as a liability according to the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The Company measures the warrants at fair value by using Binomial option-pricing model in each reporting period until they are exercised or expired, with changes in the fair values being recognized in the Company’s statement of operations as financial income or expense.

(2)Expected volatility - was calculated based on actual historical stock price movements of companies in the same industry over a term that is equivalent to the expected term of the option.

 

(3)Expected life - the expected life was based on the maturity date of the warrants.

 

(4)Expected dividend yield - was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its shareholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its shareholders in the future.

In addition, the Company’s financial instruments also include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term bank deposit, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments was not materially different from their carrying values as of March 31, 2013 due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.

 

NOTE 5:-STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

a.During February 2013, the Board of Directors and majority stockholders of the Company approved an increase in the size of the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) from 2,860,000 shares of Common Stock to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

On March 15, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) approved the grant of 820,000 and 20,000 options to employees and non-employees, respectively, at an exercise price between $1.44 and $1.35 per share. Such options to employees and non-employees shall vest over a period of up to 2 years commencing the above date. The options shall have ten year terms, unless otherwise approved by Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and shall be issued under the 2012 Plan.

Upon such approval, the remaining 2,075,000 options to purchase Common Stock are available for future grants under the 2012 Plan to employees, advisors, consultants and service providers of the Company or its subsidiary. Each option granted can be exercised to one share of Common Stock, and other equity incentives are available for issuance under the 2012 Plan.

 

In addition, on March 15, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) approved the grant of 600,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to non-employee directors. These non-qualified options were not issued under the 2012 Plan and are fully vested as of March 31, 2013 and have expiration date which is 10 years from the date of issuance.

 

Furthermore, on March 15, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) approved an annual award under a newly adopted Non-Employee Director Remuneration Policy of 100,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock to non-employee directors of the Company. These non-qualified options were not issued under the 2012 Plan and shall vest quarterly in arrears commencing March 31, 2013. The above award will be granted as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and for each fiscal year thereafter upon approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The options shall have ten year terms, unless otherwise approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

The total compensation cost related to all of the Company’s equity-based awards, recognized during the period of three months ended March 31, 2013 was comprised as follows:

As of March 31, 2013, the total amount of unrecognized stock-based compensation expenses was approximately $1,325,000 which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.17 years.

 

b.On February 11, 2013, the Company entered into an addendum regarding certain Securities Purchase Agreement that was executed with 13 accredited investors on August 29, 2012 for a Company private placement (the “August 2012 Private Placement”) consisting of three tranches for a total of 1,500,036 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share and warrants to purchase 1,500,036 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per shares. Such addendum modified the timing for the second and third tranches of such financing and provided that such second tranche would be funded by the 5th business day following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the third tranche on or before the 100th day following the date on which both: (i) any registration statement covering the sale or resale of any of the Company’s securities is declared effective and (ii) the Company has received a ticker symbol for the Common Stock and caused the Common Stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, OTCQB Market or similar trading system. The amount and pricing of the securities to be purchased in such second and third tranches was not modified, and the investors remain irrevocably committed to funding their portions of such tranches. Consequently the funding of the second tranche of this financing in the amount of $498,011, net of issuance cost, occurred on February 21, 2013 and as a result the Company issued 500,011 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 500,011 shares of Common Stock. The third tranche is due to be funded by July 17, 2013.

 

The $1.00 price per share in the second tranche of the August 2012 Private Placement triggered anti-dilution protection for investors in the 2011-2012 Private Placement. Accordingly, the exercise price for the investor and placement agent warrants issued in the 2011-2012 Private Placement of $1.42 (which had been adjusted from $1.50 to $1.42 as a result of the funding of the first tranche of the August 2011 Private Placement) was further adjusted to approximately $1.38 per share and, accordingly, additional warrants to purchase 75,352 and 14,764 share of Common Stock were granted to the investors and placement agent, respectively.

 

c.On March 5, 2013, the Company amended its Consulting Agreement with SLD Capital Corp. pursuant to which the remaining 166,668 unvested shares of Common Stock as to future strategic advisory consultancy services will be accelerated such that beginning for the month of such services commencing February 1, 2013, the above service provider shall receive 4 monthly issuances of 41,667 shares of Common Stock per month in arrears, with the final monthly issuance to occur as of June 5, 2013 for the monthly period ending May 30, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, 125,001 shares are yet to be vested under this agreement. The related cost of the 83,333 and 291,666 shares that were vested through the period of three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, was $155,370 and $437,499, respectively, and recorded as part of general and administrative expenses.

 

In addition, as further consideration for such services to be provided under the Consulting Agreement, the Company issued to the service provider, as of March 5, 2013, two warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock which composed of:

 

1.250,000 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.50 at any time prior to two year anniversary since the date in which the Company has received a ticker symbol for its Common Stock and caused the Common Stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, OTCQB Market or similar trading system (the “Effective Date”) (See also Note 1b). For the period of three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company recorded expenses in the amount of $237,500 as part of general and administrative expenses with relation to these warrants.

 

2.200,000 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.50 that will vest at any time prior to 18 month anniversary since the Effective Date and as long as the Company will have at least 200 record beneficial owners of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2012 the Company has less than 200 record beneficial owners of Common Stock and therefore no expenses have been recorded.

NOTE 7:-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

a.On March 29, 2013, the Company commenced a private placement offering (the “April-May 2013 Private Placement”) to accredited investors of up to $10,000,000 in the form of 40 units composed of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Each unit was priced at $250,000 per unit, or $2.50 for one share of Common Stock and ½ of a Warrant. The Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and expire on April 4, 2016. The Warrants contain standard anti-dilution protection clauses and therefore will be classified as equity. Partial units were sold, and the units were not issued as separate securities of the Company.

 

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on May 10, 2013, the Company conducted the final closing of the April-May 2013 Private Placement. In the aggregate, the Company raised the maximum amount of $10 million in the April-May 2013 Private Placement. Net proceeds to the Company from the April-May 2013 Private Placement were approximately $8,985,510, net of issuance cost.

 

According to the private placement documents for the April-May 2013 Private Placement, the Company, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, is required to file a registration statement covering the public resale of the shares of Common Stock and Common Stock underlying the Warrants issued in the April-May 2013 Private Placement (the “Registrable Shares”) within 60 days of the final closing of the April-May 2013 Private Placement and to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days after such filing.

Failure to comply with the above registration requirements (the “Registration Failure”), or to maintain the effectiveness and use thereof for a period no less than the date that the investors are able to sell 100% of their Registrable Shares (the “Effectiveness Failure”) in a single day on any day during a consecutive three month period, shall trigger certain liquidated damages. In the event that a Registration Failure or an Effectiveness Failure, the Company shall pay to each investor, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to one-half of one percent per month (prorated for each day of non-compliance) of the purchase price paid by such investor which shall continue for and be paid each month until the Registration Failure or Effectiveness Failure is cured, up to a maximum amount of six percent (6%) of the investment amount.

 

In connection with the April-May 2013 Private Placement, the Company engaged an exclusive placement agent to assist in selling the units, for which such agent is entitled to compensation in the form of a cash fee and a non-accountable expense allowance as certain percentage of the gross proceeds raised at each closing of the April-May 2013 Private Placement, and warrants (substantially similar to the Warrants but with a cashless exercise feature) equal to a percentage of the securities sold in the April-May 2013 Private Placement, of which half are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and half are exercisable at an exercise price of $5.00 per share immediately upon issuance. The placement agent warrants expire on April 4, 2016 and contain standard anti-dilution protection clauses and therefore will be classified as equity.

 

b.On April 25, 2013, Ltd. entered into two rent agreements for new offices for a period of three years commencing June 1st, 2013 (the “Rent Agreements”). Total monthly rent payments according to the Rent Agreements will be approximately $27,000. The Company is obligated to provide an upfront deposit equal to the last three month rent payments to cover its obligations.

 

c.On April 25, 2013, Ltd. signed an exclusive distribution agreement for its product with Farla Medical, Inc., a leading medical supplies distributor based in the United Kingdom (“Farla”). Under the terms of the three-year agreement, Farla will market and distribute the Company’s product to primary-care medical practices, clinics, hospitals and patients throughout the U.K. and Belgium as soon as the Company obtains regulatory approvals.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

 

LABSTYLE INNOVATIONS CORP.

(A Development Stage Company)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Labstyle Innovations Corp. (the "Company") and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the period from August 11, 2011 (inception date) to December 31, 2011 and for the period from August 11, 2011 (inception date) to December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the period from August 11, 2011 (inception date) to December 31, 2011 and for the period from August 11, 2011 (inception date) to December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1b, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012. Its ability to continue to operate is dependent upon obtaining additional financial support. This condition as described in Note 1b, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1:-GENERAL

 

a.LabStyle Innovations Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on August 11, 2011 to exploit a proprietary technology and commenced its operations. The Company's technology is seeking to bring laboratory testing capabilities to consumers through the use of smartphones. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC No. 915, "Development stage entities".

 

The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, LabStyle Innovation Ltd., incorporated and located in Israel ("Ltd."), which commenced operations on September 14, 2011. Its principal business activity is to perform the research and development activities of the group.

 

b.During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company continues to incur operating losses and negative cash flows amounting to $3,974,408 and $2,982,680, respectively. The Company will have to obtain additional capital resources to maintain its commercialization, research and development activities. The Company is addressing its liquidity issues by seeking additional funding and continuing its efforts to initiate commercial sales of its initial product as soon as practical in 2013.

 

On February 14, 2013, a registration statement covering the public resale of certain shares of Company common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") previously issued in 2012-2013 in private placements was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As of such date, there is no public market for the Common Stock, and the Company is seeking approvals to have its Common Stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") and/or the OTCQB Market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. ("OTCQB").

 

The Company will seek to raise capital from public and/or private sources. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its products. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company obtained additional Common Stock financing in total gross amount of $500,011, as described in more detail in Note 10b.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

 

a.Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

b.Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars.

 

Ltd.'s financing activities are incurred in U.S. dollars. Although a portion of the Company's expenses are denominated in Israeli New Shekels ("NIS") (mostly salaries and rent), a substantial portion of their expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company's management believes that the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its Israeli subsidiary are conducted is the U.S. dollar ("dollar"); thus, the dollar is the functional currency of the Company and Ltd.

 

Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Monetary accounts denominated in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into dollars in accordance with ASC No. 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 

c.Principles of consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

d.Cash and cash equivalents:

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible to cash with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition, to be cash equivalents.

 

e.Restricted cash:

 

Restricted cash is an interest bearing saving account which is used as a security for the Company's short-term credit.

NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

f.Short-term bank deposit:

 

Short-term bank deposit is deposit with maturities of more than three months and up to one year. The short-term bank deposit is denominated in NIS and bear interest at an average rate of 1.82 % and 2.72% as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The short-term bank deposit is presented at their cost, including accrued interest.

 

g.Long-term lease deposits:

 

Long-term leases deposit includes long-term deposits for offices rent and car lease.

 

h.Property and equipment:

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:

 

  %
   
Computers, and peripheral equipment 15-33
Office furniture and equipment 6
Production equipment 20-100
Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of the lease term or useful economic life

 

i.Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment," whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period ended December 31, 2011, no impairment losses have been recorded.

 

j.Concentrations of credit risk:

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term bank deposit and other account receivables.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars (except stock and per stock data)

 

NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

The majority of cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiary are invested in deposits and current accounts with major U.S. and Israeli banks. Such cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, cash and cash equivalents may be redeemed and therefore a minimal credit risk exists with respect to these deposits and investments.

 

k.Research and development costs:

 

Research and development costs are charged to the statement of operations, as incurred.

 

l.Income taxes:

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740, "Income Taxes". This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases 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. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, a full valuation allowance was provided by the Company.

 

ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for 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. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as a result of the implementation of ASC 740.

 

m.Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The Company applies ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars (except stock and per stock data)

 

NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

  Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
     
  Level 2 - Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
     
  Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and the investments are categorized as Level 3.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposit, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Warrants are classified within Level 3 because they are valued using valuation techniques. Some of the inputs to these models are unobservable in the market and are significant.

n.Basic and diluted net earnings per share:

 

Basic net earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each year. Diluted net earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential Common Stock considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with ASC topic 260, "Earnings Per Share".

 

The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding warrants and options excluded from the calculations of diluted net earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect was 4,556,544 and 754,062 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

o.Severance pay:

 

Since inception date, all of the subsidiary's employees who are entitled to receive Severance pay in accordance with the applicable law in Israel are included under section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Law. Under this section, they are entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made on their behalf with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with section 14 release the subsidiary from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. Deposits under section 14 are not recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.

 

p.Warrants:

 

The Company accounts for certain warrants held by investors and the Company’s previous placement agent’s which include down round protection as a liability according to the provisions of ASC 815-40, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity", ("ASC 815") which provides new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer's own stock and thus able to qualify to be a derivative financial instrument. The Company measures the warrants at fair value by using Binomial option-pricing model in each reporting period until they are exercised or expired, with changes in the fair values being recognized in the Company's statement of operations as financial income or expense. For more information refer to Note 8e.

q.Accounting for stock-based compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718") which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

 

The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon historical volatilities of similar entities in the related sector index. The expected option term represents the period that the Company's stock options are expected to be outstanding and is determined based on the simplified method until sufficient historical exercise data will support using expected life assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.

 

The Company applies ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees.

 

The fair value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the options and warrants had been determined by the Company's management with assistance of an independent valuation firm by applying of market approach using recent third-party transactions in the equity of the Company. Because there has been no public market for the Common Stock, management has determined fair value of the Common Stock at the time of grant of options by considering a number of objective and subjective factors. The fair value of the underlying shares of Common Stock shall be determined by management until such time as the Common Stock is listed on an established stock exchange, national market system or other quotation system.

NOTE 7:-TAXES ON INCOME

 

a.The Company and its subsidiary are separately taxed under the domestic tax laws of the state of incorporation of each entity.

 

b.Tax rates applicable to Ltd.:

 

On December 5, 2011, the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) passed the Law for Tax Burden Reform (Legislative Amendments), 2011 ("the Law") which, among others, cancels effective from 2012, the scheduled progressive reduction in the corporate tax rate. The Law also increases the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012. In view of this increase in the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012, the real capital gains tax rate and the real betterment tax rate were also increased accordingly.

 

c.Net operating loss carry forward:

 

Ltd. has accumulated net operating losses for Israeli income tax purposes as of December 31, 2012 in the amount of approximately $1,439,911. The net operating losses may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.

 

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a U.S. federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $1,236,750 that can be carried forward and offset against taxable income and that expires during the years 2031 to 2032. Utilization of U.S. loss carry forward may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of losses before utilization.

 

d.Deferred income taxes:

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2012   2011 
Deferred tax assets:          
           
Net operating loss carry forward  $854,678   $127,196 
Temporary differences   247,722    13,755 
           
Deferred tax assets before valuation allowance   1,102,400    140,951

NOTE 7:-TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

 

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are utilized. Based on consideration of these factors, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

e.Loss before taxes on income consists of the following:

 

   Year ended
December 31,
   Period from
August 11,
2011
(inception
date) to
December 31,
 
   2012   2011 
         
Domestic  $2,987,718   $259,957 
Foreign   2,698,855    125,392 
           
   $5,686,573   $385,349 

 

f.The main reconciling item between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate is the recognition of valuation allowance in respect of deferred taxes relating to accumulated net operating losses carried forward due to the uncertainty of the realization of such deferred taxes.

 

NOTE 8:-STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

a.General:

NOTE 8:-STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) (Cont.)

 

d.On October 27, 2011, subject to the private placement (see Note 8e) and upon the first closing the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to its founders and management team in consideration of transfer of certain intellectual property rights to the Company.

 

e.During 2011, the Company entered into private placement process in which units composed of 50,000 shares of the Common Stock and 50,000 warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock were offered to third party accredited investors, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants expire on October 27, 2016.

 

Under the above-mentioned private placement, until December 31, 2011, the Company raised funds in a total amount of $1,091,877, net of issuance cost. In consideration the Company issued 1,330,000 of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 1,330,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 the Company raised additional funds in a total amount of $915,845, net of issuance cost. In consideration the Company issued 1,131,000 shares and 1,131,000 warrants.

 

The exercise price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants are subject to weighted average adjustment for dilution in accordance with ASC 815. The warrants are classified as liability and the fair value of the warrants was measured using the Binomial option-pricing model as described below.

 

According to the private placement documents, the Company, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, is required to file a registration statement covering the sale of the shares of Common Stock included in the units sold and underlying Common Stock upon the exercise of the warrants included in the units sold (the "Registrable Shares") within 60 days of the final closing of the offering and to cause such registration statement to become effective within 150 days after such filing. The final closing occurred on March 30, 2012.

 

A registration statement covering the Registrable Shares was submitted to the SEC on June 26, 2012, and such registration statement was declared effective on February 14, 2013.

 

Failure to comply with the above registration requirements (the "Registration Failure"), or to maintain the effectiveness and use thereof for a period no less than the date that the investors are able to sell 100% of their Registrable Shares (the "Effectiveness Failure") in a single day on any day during a consecutive three month period, shall trigger certain liquidated damages. In the event that a Registration Failure or an Effectiveness Failure, the Company shall pay to each Investor, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to one percent per month (prorated for each day of non-compliance) of the purchase price paid by such Investor which shall continue for and be paid each month until the Registration Failure or Effectiveness Failure is cured, up to a maximum amount of ten percent.

NOTE 8:-STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) (Cont.)

 

In contemplation of the above private placement offering, the Company engaged an exclusive placement agent to assist in selling the units, for which was compensated by a cash fee and a non-accountable expense allowance as certain percentage of the gross proceeds raised at each closing, and 964,400 warrants of which half are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.50 per share and half are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.00 per share immediately upon issuance and have a term equal to the earlier of seven years or three years after the Common Stock becomes publicly-traded. The number and exercise price of these warrants are also subject to dilutive issuance and therefore classified as liability and re-measured using the Binominal option-pricing model as well.

 

In estimating the warrants' fair value, the Company used the following assumptions:

 

Investors warrants:

 

   Issuance
date
   December 31,

Fair value:               
Warrants  $ 0.31-0.32   $0.65-0.79   $0.29-0.32 

 

(1)Risk-free interest rate - based on yield rates of non-index linked U.S. Federal Reserve treasury bonds.

 

(2)Expected volatility - was calculated based on actual historical stock price movements of companies in the same industry over a term that is equivalent to the expected term of the option.

 

(3)Expected life - the expected life was based on the maturity date of the warrants.

(4)Expected dividend yield - was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its shareholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its shareholders in the future.

 

As a result of the anti-dilution protection in the private placement documents and the price per share in the August SPA that is described in Note 8f below, the exercise price of $1.50 was adjusted to approximately $1.42 per share and additional warrants to purchase 138,648 and 27,166 share of Common Stock were granted to the investors and placement agent, respectively (see Note 10b for disclosure of subsequent anti-dilution adjustments).

 

The Company measured these warrants at fair value in total amount of $2,817,741 and $664,363 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Issuance expenses that were allocated to the component of the warrants, amounted to $101,263 and $156,097 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period ended December 31, 2011, respectively, were expensed immediately and are included as part of financial expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company re-measured the warrants component. Consequently, during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded $1,606,378 and $(15,867), respectively, as financial expenses (income), net as a result of a change in the Company's warrant value.

 

f.During August 2012, the Company entered into securities purchase agreement (the "August SPA") to raise capital by means of units, at a price of $1.00 per unit, composed of 1,500,036 shares of Common Stock and 1,500,036 warrants to purchase 1,500,036 shares of Common Stock were offered to third party accredited investors, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants expiration date for 100% of the warrants is within one year from the date of effectiveness of the Company's registration in OTCBB ("Effective Date") and if not exercised until then, 50% of the warrants will be expired and the remaining will be outstanding for additional year. The warrants contain standard anti-dilution protection clauses and therefore classified as equity.

 

Subject to the August SPA the investment amount of $1,500,036 shall be funded in three tranches for which the first tranche of $500,014 will occur on the date of the signing on the August SPA, the second and third tranches will occur within 90 and 180 days following the Effective Date, each in aggregate amount of $500,011 (see also Note 10b describing a subsequent amendment to the timing for the funding tranches).

 

Under the above mentioned August SPA, through the period of three months ended September 30, 2012 the Company raised funds in a total amount of $498,157, net of issuance cost. In consideration the Company issued 500,014 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 500,014 shares of Common Stock.

 

g.During September 2012, the Company entered into a private placement transaction to accredited investors up to 1,833,333 shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share, for gross proceeds of up to $2,750,000.

In addition, in connection with the above private placement, warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the shares issued in such private placement were issued as a finder fee to four FINRA member broker-dealers. Such finder warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.50 per share and term of three years from the date of the Company's closing on the investment amount by the applicable investor. The warrants contain standard anti-dilution protection clauses and therefore classified as equity.

 

As of December 31, 2012 the Company has issued 1,795,009 shares of Common Stock for total consideration of $2,384,478, net of issuance cost. Consequently, 179,502 warrants were issued as a finder fee.

 

h.On October 5, 2012 the Company entered into a non-exclusive consulting agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") with SLD Capital Corp. under which strategic advisory consultancy services will be rendered to the Company. Consideration under this agreement is 500,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 250,000 shares were issued at October 5, 2012, with an additional 20,833 shares of Common Stock being issued per month in arrears during the first eleven months of the agreement term as services are rendered, and 20,837 shares of Common Stock in the final month of the agreement term, for a total of 250,000 additional shares of Common Stock. The agreement will expire on October 5, 2013. Services provided under this agreement include strategic advice regarding: (i) the Company’s operations and related obligations as a U.S. publicly-listed and reporting company, (ii) the industries and businesses in which the Company is engaged and (iii) other aspects of or concerning the Company’s business about which the consultant has knowledge or expertise, including ongoing stockholder relations initiatives.

 

As of December 31, 2012, 208,334 shares are yet to be issued under this agreement. The related cost of the 291,666 shares that were issued through December 31, 2012 was $437,499 and recorded as part of general and administrative expenses.

 

Subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company amended the above Consulting Agreement (see also Note 10c).

 

i.Stock options plans:

 

1.On January 23, 2012, an equity incentive plan (the "2012 Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved by a majority of the Company's stockholders, under which options to purchase up to 2,860,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved (see also Note 10a). Under the 2012 Plan, options to purchase Common Stock may be granted to employees, advisors, directors, consultants and service providers of the Company or any affiliate, each option granted can be exercised to one share of Common Stock. The vesting schedule and other terms and conditions will be determined as the Board of Directors of the Company or a designated committee thereof shall deem appropriate and set forth in the option agreement for each grantee.

Any options that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants. As of December 31, 2012, there were 760,000 options to purchase the Company's Common Stock available for future grants under the 2012 Plan (see Note 10a describing a subsequent increase in the size of the 2012 Plan).

4.On March 2012, the Company entered into employment agreement with its chief executive office ("CEO") and was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in which the Company will grant options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to three percent of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, following to the final closing of the Company’s 2011-2012 private offering, but not less than 500,000 options with exercise price of $1.00 per share.

 

Since the final closing of such private offering was on March 30, 2012, the trigger of the above options to be vested has been occurred and therefore the Company accounted for these options under ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation". The Company recognized full compensation cost related to the 547,392 options that have been granted to the CEO in total amount of $26,141. The compensation cost was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses.

 

On June 22, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved to reduce the exercise price of the CEO’s options from $1.00 to $0.52 per share and change the vesting schedule by extending the vesting period of 210,000 options vested as of March 31, 2013, which were previously granted to the Company's CEO, as fully vested. The Company accounted for the exercise price reduction and the extension of options' terms pursuant to ASC 718 as a modification. Accordingly, additional compensation was calculated by the Company as the fair value of the modified award in excess of the fair value of the original award measured immediately before its terms have been modified based on current circumstances. The total incremental compensation cost related to this modification was $76,186. As of December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $70,727 of these compensation costs which were recorded as part of General and administrative expenses.

a.During February 2013, the Board of Directors and majority stockholders approved to increase the pool of 2012 Plan, under which options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be reserved.

 

b.On February 11, 2013, the Company entered into an addendum to the August SPA, as described in Note 8f above, which modifies the timing for the second and third tranches and provides that such second tranche will be funded by the 5th business day following the effectiveness of the registration statement and the third tranche on or before the 100th day following the date on which both: (i) any registration statement covering the sale or resale of any of the Company’s securities is declared effective and (ii) the Company has received a ticker symbol for the Common Stock and caused the Common Stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, OTCQB Market or similar trading system. The amount and pricing of the securities to be purchased in such second and third tranches was not modified, and the investors remain irrevocably committed to funding their portions of such tranches.

 

As a result of the anti-dilution protection in the private placement documents and the price per share in the August SPA, and the impact of the above addendum pursuant to which gross amount of $500,011 has been received and paid after the balance sheet date, the exercise price of $1.42 was adjusted to approximately $1.38 per share and additional warrants to purchase 75,352 and 14,764 share of Common Stock were granted to the investors and placement agent, respectively.

 

c.On March 5, 2013, the Company amended the Consulting Agreement with SLD Capital Corp. In accordance with this amendment the issuance schedule of the remaining 166,668 unvested shares of Common Stock for the future strategic consultancy services will be accelerated such that beginning for the month of such services commencing February 1, 2013 SLD shall receive 4 monthly issuances of 41,667 shares of Common Stock per month in arrears, with the final monthly issuance to occur as of June 5, 2013 for the monthly period ending May 30, 2013.

 

In addition, as further consideration for such services to be provided under the Consulting Agreement, the Company shall issue to the service provider, as of March 5, 2013, two warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock which composed of:

 

1.250,000 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.50 at any time prior to two year anniversary since the date in which the Company has received a ticker symbol for its Common Stock and caused the Common Stock to be eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, OTCQB Market or similar trading system (the "Effective Date").

 

2.200,000 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.50 at any time prior to 18 month anniversary since the Effective Date and as long as the Company has at least 200 record beneficial owners of Common Stock.
