NOTE 1 - GENERAL

 

A. Description of business:

 

Microbot Medical Inc. (the “Company”) is a pre-clinical medical device company specializing in the research, design and development of next generation robotic endoluminal surgery devices targeting the minimally invasive surgery space. The Company is primarily focused on leveraging its micro-robotic technologies with the goal of redefining surgical robotics while improving surgical outcomes for patients.

 

The Company incorporated on August 2, 1988 in the State of Delaware under the name Cellular Transplants, Inc. The original Certificate of Incorporation was restated on February 14, 1992 to change the name of the Company to Cyto Therapeutics, Inc. On May 24, 2000, the Certificate of Incorporation as restated was further amended to change the name of the Company to StemCells, Inc.

 

On November 28, 2016, the Company consummated a transaction pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 15, 2016, with Microbot Medical Ltd., a private medical device company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Microbot Israel”). On the same day and in connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name from StemCells, Inc. to Microbot Medical Inc. On November 29, 2016, the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MBOT”.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

 

B. Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions pertaining to transactions and matters whose ultimate effect on the financial statements cannot precisely be determined at the time of financial statements preparation. Although these estimates are based on management’s best judgment, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

C. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements:

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed).

 

Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

D. Risk Factors:

 

To date, the Company has not generated revenues from its operations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities balance of approximately $12,470 excluding encumbered cash, which management believes is sufficient to fund its operations for 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements and sufficient to fund its operations necessary to continue development activities of its current proposed products.

 

Due to continuing research and development activities, the Company expects to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. While management of the Company believes that it has sufficient funds for 12 months, the Company expects to raise additional funds through future issuances of either debt and/or equity securities and possibly grants from government institutions. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital in the equity and debt markets is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for the Company’s stock, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that the Company would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond 12 months. The Company’s interim 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.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Except share and per share data)

 

An epidemic of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) is ongoing throughout the world. As the outbreak is still evolving, although lockdowns in many places are being lifted, much of its impact continues to change. As of this filing, it is impossible to predict future effects and potential spread of the coronavirus disease globally. The coronavirus disease may cause significant delays and disruptions to our pre-clinical studies.

 

Additionally, travel restrictions have been implemented with respect to certain countries in an effort to contain the coronavirus disease, and several countries have screenings of travelers. As travel restrictions may be implemented and adopted by countries around the world, the Company and its contract research organizations may be unable to visit its clinical trial sites and monitor the data from its clinical trials on timely basis. The Company’s employees may also face travel restrictions, which would impact its business. Furthermore, some of the Company’s manufacturers and suppliers are in Europe and may be impacted by port closures and other restrictions resulting from the coronavirus outbreak, which may disrupt the Company’s supply chain or limit its ability to obtain sufficient materials for its products.

 

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreaks or similar health epidemics are highly uncertain and subject to changes, and the Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions. However, if the Company or any of the third parties with whom the Company engages, including the suppliers, animal trial sites, contract research organizations, regulators, including the FDA, health care providers and other third parties with whom the Company conducts business, were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, the Company’s ability to conduct our business and operations could be materially and negatively impacted, which could prevent or delay the Company from obtaining approval for its devices.
