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 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 November 29, 2016, the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MBOT”.

The Company and Microbot Israel, its sole subsidiary, are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Company” as the context may require.

B. Risk Factors

To date, the Company has not generated revenues from its operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash equivalents and marketable securities balance of approximately $8,153, excluding restricted cash, which management believes is sufficient to fund its operations for five months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, as of such filing date, there is a substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to continuing research and development activities, the Company expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. While management of the Company believes that it has sufficient funds until approximately April 2024, partially as a result of the Company’s cost reduction program implemented in May 2023 and capital raises in May and June 2023, the Company will seek to raise additional funds through future issuances of either debt and/or equity securities and possibly additional grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority and other 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. See Note 6 for additional risk factors which have developed subsequent to September 30, 2023.

C. 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.

D. 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2023.
