Results of Operations

Revenues

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not recognize any revenues.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized revenues in respect of the completion of a proof of concept for a customer in the United States, in the total amount of approximately $219,000.

The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $433,000 in salaries and related personnel expenses due to an increase in the number of employees and bonuses, and classification of part of the salary costs to the cost of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2022, and an increase of $381,000 in R&D equipment purchases, offset by a decrease of $236,000 in other expenses mainly related to a one-time payment in April 2022, to Israel Railways of 1.5% of the actual proceeds to us from our initial public offering, or IPO.

Our general and administrative expenses totaled $2,303,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $175,000 or 8%, compared to $2,128,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $248,000 in professional services related to the Company being a public company (mainly for accounting and legal expenses), offset by a decrease of $63,000 in share-based compensation related to grant dates and vesting periods.

Operating loss

As a result of the foregoing, our operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $5,985,000 compared to an operating loss of $5,373,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $612,000 or 11%.

We recognized net financial income of $150,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net financial income of $125,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to interest income on deposits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s). A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in our Annual Report, as well as our unaudited condensed financial statements and the related notes thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2023, included elsewhere in this Report Form 6-K. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Overview

Since our inception through June 30, 2023, we have funded our operations principally with approximately $68.6 million (net of issuance expenses) from the issuance of our equity securities and exercise of warrants and options. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $8,192,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

The table below presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities of $5,409,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily used for payment of an aggregate of approximately $3,718,000 in subcontractors and salaries and related personnel expenses. The remaining amount of approximately $1,692,000 was used for professional services, travel, rent and other miscellaneous expenses.

Net cash used in operating activities of $5,355,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily used for payment of an aggregate of approximately $3,437,000 in subcontractors and salaries and related personnel expenses. The remaining amount of $1,918,000 was primarily used for professional services, travel, rent and other miscellaneous expenses.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $137,000 during six months ended June 30, 2023, reflected the purchase of fixed assets. No cash was used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, consisted of $5,460,000 of net proceeds from our issuance of shares and warrants in a registered direct offering and in concurrent private placements.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, consisted of $16,653,000 of net proceeds primarily from the issuance of shares and warrants in our IPO, and to a lesser extent from proceeds from the issuance of Preferred A Shares and a convertible debt, both prior to our IPO.

In May 2023 the Company executed a series of transactions raising aggregate gross proceeds of $6 million, as follows. On May 11, 2023 the Company completed the closing of definitive agreements with investors (i) in a registered direct offering, for the purchase and sale of 3,947,368 ordinary shares and (ii) in a concurrent private placement to the same investors, 3,947,368 warrants, each to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $0.84 per share. The private placement warrants are exercisable upon issuance and have a 5-year term from the initial exercise date. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of these registered direct and private placements were approximately $3.0 million. In a concurrent private placement that was subject to closing conditions, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 3,947,368 ordinary shares and 3,947,368 five-year warrants exercisable at $0.84 per share to Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Schienenfahrzeuge GmbH, or Knorr-Bremse, the largest shareholder of the Company. The Knorr-Bremse private placement was subject to the approval by the Company’s shareholders, and the shareholders approved the placement on June 18, 2023. The aggregate gross proceeds from this placement were approximately $3.0 million. In all transactions, the purchase price of one share and one 5-year warrant was $0.76.

Current Outlook

We have financed our operations to date primarily through proceeds from issuance of our ordinary and Preferred A Shares. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception in April 2016. Since inception, we have not generated any significant revenues from the sale of products and we do not expect to generate significant revenues from the sale of our products in the near future.

As of June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $8,192,000. We expect that we will require substantial additional capital to complete the development of additional features of our system according to customers’ requirements, including algorithm optimization, cognitive layer development, system minimization and optical development, as well as to commercialize our products. In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of many factors that may currently be unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

Until we can generate significant recurring revenues and profit, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financings, through the utilization of our current financial resources and sales of our products. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for commercialization efforts with respect to our products.

Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes raising funds from existing shareholders and/or outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to successfully complete the development of, and to commercialize, its products.
