NOTE 1:- | GENERAL (Cont.) |
Based on management’s projections of the business results for the next twelve months, management concluded that the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months from August 28, 2024, the date of issuance of these financial statements.
NOTE 2:- | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a. | Basis of preparation of the interim financial statements: |
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting, and include the accounts of Maris-Tech Ltd.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the disclosures, including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024.
In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s results of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other future interim or annual period.
b. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

NOTE 2:- | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
c. | Functional currency: |
A majority of the Company’s customer orders are indexed to United States dollars (“dollar” or “U.S. dollars”). In addition, a substantial portion of the Company’s purchase orders are indexed to the dollar. The Company’s management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the dollar. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. All transaction gains and losses from the re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
d. | Use of estimates: |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the allocation of transaction price among various performance obligations, the estimated benefit period of deferred contract acquisition costs, the allowance for credit losses, the fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, the useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As a result of the foregoing, our operating profit for the period ended June 30, 2024 was $48,341, compared to an operating loss of $2,425,508 for the period ended June 30, 2023.
Financial Expense and Income
Financial expense and income consist of bank fees and other transactional costs, exchange rate differences and interest on our bank deposits.
We recognized net financial income of $83,456 for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to net financial income of $161,481 for the period ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest payments received on our bank deposits and exchange rate fluctuations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception we have funded our operations principally from bank loans, issuance of ordinary shares, no par value per share, or Ordinary Shares, preferred shares, warrants, credit lines and long-term loans from banks and shareholders.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had working capital of $6,961,644 and $7,264,319, respectively, an accumulated deficit of 10,770,326 and $10,902,123, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activity of $859,133 and $2,250,995 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. If we are unable to successfully commercialize our product candidates or obtain sufficient future financing through debt or issuance of equity, we will be required to delay some of our planned research and development programs.
Our backlog as of June 30, 2024 and August 28, 2024 was approximately $10,000,000 and $10,500,000, respectively, part of which is expected to be delivered and be recognized as revenues by the end of 2024, and the remainder during 2025 to 2027. Our backlog increased significantly compared to previous years primarily due to new orders from customers in the fields of smart cities, defense and HLS. We define backlog as the accumulation of all pending orders with a later fulfillment date for which revenue has not been recognized and we consider valid. The backlog consists of executed purchase orders from new customers and existing customers with which we have had long-standing relationships and from governmental agencies. The increase in backlog and sales is a result in the Company’s products reaching maturity and validation among our customers. Our management estimates that such sales will continue in the coming year. However, because revenue will not be recognized until we have fulfilled our obligations to a customer, there may be a significant amount of time between executing an agreement or purchase order with a customer and delivery of the product to the customer and revenue recognition. In addition, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future earnings (see “Item 3.D. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business, Industry, Operations and Financial Condition – Amounts included in backlog may not result in actual revenue and are an uncertain indicator of our future earnings” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, or Annual Report, for further information).
As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and our short-term bank deposit were $3,840,397. We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and our short-term bank deposit as of June 30, 2024, together with anticipated revenue from existing customers pursuant to existing purchase orders, as well as projected revenue from new customers, will be sufficient to fund our current operations and satisfy our obligations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. 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:
● | the progress and costs of our research and development activities; |
● | the costs of manufacturing our products; |
● | the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights; |
● | the potential costs of contracting with third parties to provide marketing and distribution services for us or for building such capacities internally; and |
● | the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses. |
The table below summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated.
For the period Ended June 30, |
||||||||
U.S. dollars | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (985,092 | ) | $ | (2,250,995 | ) | ||
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (48,612 | ) | 3,929,959 | |||||
Net cash used in financing activities | (192,720 | ) | (119,536 | ) | ||||
Increase (Decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted deposit | $ | (1,226,424 | ) | $ | 1,556,428 |
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities mainly consists of our net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items, including share-based compensation, depreciation expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities during each period.
Net cash used in operating activities was $985,092 during the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,250,995 for the period ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a net income of $131,797 for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of 2,264,027 for the period ended June 30, 2024 and an increase of $768,249 in trade receivables, net for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to a decrease of $855,809 in trade receivables, net for the period ended June 30, 3023.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $48,612 for the period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net cash provided in investing activities of $3,929,959 for the period ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that we did not utilize our short bank deposits during the period ended June 30, 2024.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $192,720 for the period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $119,536 for the period ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the repayment of certain related party loans.
Financial Arrangements
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from sales of Ordinary Shares, preferred shares, warrants, credit lines and long-term loans from banks and shareholders.
Since our inception, Israel Bar, our Chief Executive Officer, a director and our largest shareholder, and Joseph Gottlieb, our other director and second largest shareholder, have provided loans to us. On May 9, 2021, we entered into a loan facility agreement, or, as amended on June 30, 2021, the Loan Facility Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2021, with Mr. Bar and Mr. Gottlieb. The total outstanding amount under the Loan Facility Agreement after giving effect to the Amendment was NIS 3,480,306 (approximately $1,088,250). As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding amount due under the Loan Facility Agreement to Mr. Bar was $578,159 and to Mr. Gottlieb was $317,370.
Except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, such as the use of unconsolidated subsidiaries, structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
We do not believe that off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We describe our significant accounting policies more fully in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We believe that the accounting policies described below and in Note 2 to our financial statements are critical in order to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since we filed our Annual Report other than as described in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make 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 during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. 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 from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
