NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(U.S. dollars in thousands)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL:
1. | Inspira Technologies Oxy B.H.N. Ltd (formerly: Insense Medical Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Israel and commenced its operations on February 27, 2018. The Company operates in the medical technology industry in the field of respiratory support technology. The Company is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing related and go-to-market activities of proprietary products and technologies. The Company is developing the following products: |
● | The INSPIRA ART (Gen 2) (Augmented Respiratory Technology), which is a respiratory support technology targeted toward utilizing direct blood oxygenation to boost patient saturation levels within minutes while the patient is awake and spontaneously breathing. The aim is to reduce the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, with the potential to reduce risks, complications and high costs. | |
● | The HYLA blood sensor, which is a non-invasive optical blood sensor designed to perform real-time and continuous blood measurements, potentially minimizing the need to take actual blood samples from patients. | |
● | The INSPIRA ART100 Device, an advanced form of life support system better known by the medical industry as a cardiopulmonary bypass system is being designed for use in surgical procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass for six hours or less. |
2. | The Company’s INSPIRA™ ART100 system received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for Cardiopulmonary Bypass procedures and AMAR certification for Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Cardiopulmonary Bypass procedures. The Company’s other products, including the INSPIRA™ ART (Gen 2) and HYLA™ blood sensor, have not yet been tested or used in humans and have not been approved by any regulatory entity. |
3. | On December 26, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “December Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor in a registered direct offering (the “December Offering”), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) an aggregate of 1,375,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) at a purchase price of $1.28 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants, (“December Pre-Funded Warrants”), to purchase up to 1,656,250 Ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $1.28, less $0.001 per December Pre-Funded Warrant which were immediately exercised). In addition, pursuant to the December Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to the institutional investor to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,031,250 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $1.28 per share (“Private Warrants”). The aggregate proceeds received by the Company from the December Offering were approximately $3,424, after deducting placement agent commissions and additional offering costs which totaled in approximately $454. In addition, the Company issued the placement agent in the December Offering warrants equal to a total of 7.0% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares sold in the December Offering to purchase up to 212,188 Ordinary Shares (the “December Placement Agent Warrants”). The fair value of the December Placement Agent Warrants on the issuance date was $131 and it was recorded as part of the issuance costs (see note 5). |
4. | On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with two investors in a registered direct offering (the “April Offering”), pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 1,339,285 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $1.232 per share. The aggregate proceeds received by the Company from the April Offering were approximately $1,651. |

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (Cont.):
5. | On June 14, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with an individual private investor in a registered direct offering (the “June Offering”), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) an aggregate of 941,541 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $1.30 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants, (“June Pre-Funded Warrants”), to purchase up to 1,709,760 Ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $1.30, less $0.001 per June Pre-Funded Warrant. The aggregate proceeds received by the Company from the June Offering were approximately $3,102, after deducting placement agent commissions and additional offering costs in cash which totaled in approximately $343. In addition, the Company issued the placement agent in the June Offering warrants equal to a total of 7.0% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares sold in the transaction to purchase up to 185,591 Ordinary Shares (the “June Placement Agent Warrants”). The fair value of the June Placement Agent Warrants on the issuance date was $202 and it was recorded as part of the issuance costs. (see note 5). |
6. | The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. To date, the Company is at its development stage. Therefore, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had incurred accumulated losses of $61.8 million and expects to continue to fund its operations through certain financing, such as issuance of convertible securities, Ordinary Shares and warrants and through Israeli government grants. There is no assurance that such financing will be obtained. Our dependency on external funding for our operations raises a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. |
7. | The Company offices are located in Israel. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Following the attack, Israel declared war against Hamas and the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for an active duty. At the same time, and because of the declaration of war against Hamas, the clash between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has escalated and there is a possibility that it will turn into a greater regional conflict in the future. As of the date of these financial statements, these events have had no material impact on the Company’s operations. |
8. | Although we do not currently conduct business in Russia and Ukraine, the escalation of geopolitical instability in Russia and Ukraine as well as currency fluctuations in the Russian Ruble has had a negative impact on worldwide markets. Such an impact may negatively impact our supply chain, our operations and future growth prospects in that region. As a result of the crisis in Ukraine, both the U.S. and other countries have implemented sanctions against certain Russian individuals and entities. Our global operations expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the market price of our securities, including the potential for increased tensions between Russia and other countries resulting from the current situation involving Russia and Ukraine, tariffs, economic sanctions and import-export restrictions imposed, and retaliatory actions, as well as the potential negative impact on our potential business and sales in the region. Current geopolitical instability in Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions by the U.S. and other governments against certain companies and individuals may hinder our ability to conduct business with potential customers and vendors in these countries. |

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 25, 2024. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023, but not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) are included in this interim report.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity (including share-based compensation) and the amount of expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Impact of accounting standards to be applied in future periods
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU’s amendments are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on our Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Under this ASU, public entities must annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This ASU’s amendments are effective for all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on our disclosures.

During 2023, the Company sold 17,566 Ordinary Shares under the ATM. On October 23, 2023, the Company terminated the Sales Agreement and the associated ATM, effective immediately.

The December Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised on the same day and the day after the transaction in full in an exercise price of $0.001 per share and the Company issued 1,656,250 additional Ordinary Shares. The aggregate proceeds received by the Company from the December Offering were approximately $3,424, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and additional cash offering costs totaled in approximately $454.
The Company issued the placement agent in the December Offering warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to a total of 7.0% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares sold in the December Offering, or a warrant to purchase up to 212,188 Ordinary Shares, were issued. The December Placement Agent Warrants were substantially on the same terms as the Private Warrants issued to the investor in the December Offering, except an exercise price of $1.60 per share. The December Placement Agent Warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire five years following their issuance.
The Company accounts for the December Placement Agent Warrants as equity-classified instruments (as part of additional paid in capital), based on an assessment of ASC 718. The fair value of the December Placement Agent Warrants on the issuance date was $131. Those cash and non-cash issuance costs were accounted proportionally to issuance expenses and decrease of additional paid in capital, according to the ratio of the liability versus equity in the December Offering.

NOTE 6 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION:
In December 2019, the Company established a share option plan (the “Plan”). As of June 30, 2023, a total of 505,473 options to purchase Ordinary Shares have been granted to employees, consultants and directors under the Plan, and a total of 3,707,542 RSUs have been granted to employees, consultants and directors under the Plan, of which 2,550,166 RSUs are fully vested as of June 30, 2023.
On January 22, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a grant of 320,000 RSUs to employees and a grant of options to purchase 80,000 shares to consultants. The RSUs represents the right to receive Ordinary Shares at a future time, 250,000 of which vest over a period of three years, with a one-year cliff period and 70,000 vesting immediately on the grant date. 10,000 of the options were vested immediately on the grant date, 25,000 option vest over a period of three years and 45,000 option vests over a period of one year and nine months. The RSUs designated to employees were granted under Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance, which enables the employee to pay a 25% capital gain tax upon exercise.
On February 5, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a grant of 2,277,000 RSUs to officers, a grant of options to purchase 30,000 Ordinary Shares and 90,000 RSUs to directors. The RSUs and options represents the right to receive Ordinary Shares at a future time and vest over a period of three years, with a one-year cliff. The RSUs designated to employees and directors were granted under Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance, which enables the employee to pay a 25% capital gain tax upon exercise.
The fair market value of all granted options was estimated by using the Black-Scholes model, aimed at modelling the value of the Company’s assets over time. The simulation approach was designed to take into account the terms and conditions of the share options, as well as the capital structure of the Company and the volatility of its assets, on the date of grant based on certain assumptions. Those conditions are, among others:

A. | Royalties to the IIA |
In September 2019, the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) approved an application that supports upgrading the Company’s manufacturing capabilities for an aggregate budget of NIS 4,880,603 (approximately $1,500,000). The IIA committed to fund 60% of the approved budget. Eventually the project budget concluded in the aggregate amount of NIS 4,623,142 (approximately $1,333) The program is for the period beginning October 2019 through November 2020 and the Company received total funds in the amount of NIS 2,773,885 (approximately $800) from the IIA.
According to the agreements with the IIA, the Company will pay royalties of 3% to 3.5% of future sales up to an amount equal to the accumulated grant received with the annual interest on such royalties the 12-month secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) of the Federal Reserve or an alternative rate published by the Bank of Israel plus 0.71513% for grants approved prior to January 1, 2024. For grants approved after January 1, 2024, the annual interest rate is the higher of the 12-month SOFR rate plus 1% or a fixed annual interest rate of 4%. Repayment of the grant is contingent upon the successful completion of the Company’s research and development (“R&D”) programs and generating sales. The Company has no obligation to repay these grants if the R&D programs fail, are unsuccessful or aborted or if no sales are generated. The Company had not generated sales as of June 30, 2024; therefore, no liability was recorded in these unaudited interim condensed Financial Statements. IIA grants are recorded as a reduction of R&D expenses, net.
During October 2023, the IIA has approved a support of another development project of the Company at an aggregate budget of NIS 3,850,869 (approximately $1,062). The IIA committed to fund 40% of the approved budget.
As of June 30, 2024, the maximum obligation with respect to the grants received from the IIA, contingent upon entitled future sales, is $894. The Company has obligations regarding know-how, technology, or products, not to transfer the information, rights thereon and production rights which derive from the research and development without the IIA Research Committee approval.

B. | Lease Commitments – Operating Leases: |
In August 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its facilities in Ra’anana, Israel. The lease agreement is for a period of 69 months commencing September 1, 2021, and the Company began to pay lease and related expenses after completing 3 months of lease. The Company has the option to shorten the period and terminates the lease agreement after completing 45 months of rent by paying an amount of NIS 500,000, (approximately $153). This amount of reimbursement will be deducted monthly in NIS 30,000, (approximately $9) if the Company terminates the agreement after 45 months of rent. The annual lease payment, including management fees, as of June 30, 2024, is approximately NIS 69,000 ($19) per month. As security for the obligations under this lease agreement, the Company provided a bank guarantee in an amount equal to three monthly lease payments plus the Israeli value added tax and an unlimited guarantee according to the terms specified in the contract.
The right-of-use asset and lease liability are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on similar terms and payments and in economic environments where the leased asset is located.
The Company has various operating leases for vehicles that expire through 2027. Below is a summary of the Company’s operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2024:

C. | Legal Claims |
In the normal course of business, various legal claims and other contingent matters may arise. Management believes that any liability that may arise from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 2024.
On December 12, 2021, the Company terminated its employment agreement with Dr. Udi Nussinovitch, one of its founders who served as the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer since March 2018. On February 24, 2022, the Company sued Mr. Nussinovitch for breach good faith and his fiduciary duties as a shareholder and former officer of the Company. On November 9, 2022, the Company received notice of a complaint filed by Mr. Nussinovitch, as well as a complaint filed with the regional labor court in Tel Aviv, Israel on November 8, 2022. Mr. Nussinovitch has alleged certain deficiencies in the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on Friday, December 17, 2021, resulting from his status as a minority shareholder. In addition, with respect to the labor dispute, Mr. Nussinovitch is seeking renumeration and the issuance of Ordinary Shares. A partial hearing was held in the regional labor court on July 19, 2023, and the parties were required by the court to file their positions on a stay of the proceeding pending the decision on the case initiated by the Plaintiff in the District Court.
A pre-trial hearing was held in the district court on January 21, 2024. During the hearing, the court suggested that the parties consider the possibility of resolving the case through an out-of-court arrangement or mediation. The parties agreed to a mediation process.
As of the date of these Financial Statement, the Company believes that the claims will result in no payments by the Company.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
In July 2024 the Company received NIS 539,122 (approximately $149,768) from the IIA as a pre-payment of the grant as approved in relation with a development project. The grant creates an obligation with respect to the grants received from the IIA, contingent upon entitled future sales.
As of June 30, 2024, there is no impact on the financial statements.

A. Operating Results
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and the related notes thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2024, included elsewhere in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties.
Overview
Since our inception in 2018, we have incurred operating losses. Our operating losses for the six-months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $5.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively, and our net losses for the same period were $6.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $61.8 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, and our losses may fluctuate significantly from year to year. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
● | continue clinical development of our products; | |
● | file applications seeking regulatory approval for our products pursuant to the various regulatory pathways in the United States; | |
● | continue to invest in the preclinical research and development of any future product candidates; | |
● | establish the commercial infrastructure to support the marketing, sale and distribution of our products if they were to receive regulatory approval; | |
● | hire additional research and development and general and administrative personnel to support our operations; | |
● | maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and | |
● | continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company. |
We have not yet generated any revenue from product sales.
Current Outlook
On July 16, 2021, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, whereby we sold 2,909,091 ordinary shares, or Ordinary Shares, and 3,345,455 tradable warrants (inclusive of 436,364 tradable warrants pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters). The aggregate net proceeds received by us from the IPO were $16 million, before underwriting discounts and other offering costs. Prior to our IPO, we financed our operations primarily through convertible debt, as well as grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, or the IIA.
In October 2021, investors exercised 1,705,000 of our tradable warrants. The total proceeds we received from this exercise were approximately $9.4 million before further expenses.
On April 4, 2023, we entered into a sales agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as sales agent, or the Sales Agent, pursuant to which we were able to offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agent, our Ordinary Shares, no par value per share. The Ordinary Shares were offered and sold pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form F-3 or the Registration Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2022 and the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement. We paid the Sales Agent a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Ordinary Shares. On October 23, 2023, notice was provided to the Sales Agent to terminate the sales agreement, effective immediately. As of the date of termination, we sold an aggregate of approximately $26,000 of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the sales agreement.
On December 26, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with respect to a registered direct offering, or the December Offering, whereby we sold: (i) 1,375,000 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $1.28 per share; (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,656,250 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $1.28, less $0.001 per pre-funded warrant; and (iii) private warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,031,250 Ordinary Shares at an exercise of $1.28 per share. The pre-funded warrants were exercised subsequent to the transaction in full and as a result, we issued 1,656,250 additional Ordinary Shares for such exercise. The gross proceeds in connection with the December Offering were $3.88 million. In addition, we retained a placement agent with respect to the December Offering and issued the placement agent warrants equal to a total of 7.0% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares sold in the December Offering, or warrants to purchase up to 212,188 Ordinary Shares. The placement agent warrants were substantially similar to the warrants issued to the investor in the December Offering and have an exercise price of $1.60 per share. The placement agent warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire five years following issuance.

On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two investors in a registered direct offering, or the April Offering, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 1,339,285 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $1.232 per share, The aggregate proceeds received by the Company from the April Offering were approximately $1.65 million
On June 14, 2024, we entered into a purchase agreement with a single, individual investor, providing for the issuance in a registered direct offering, or the June Offering, of (i) an aggregate of 941,541 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $1.30 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,709,760 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $1.30, less $0.001 per pre-funded warrant. Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The June Offering resulted in gross proceeds of $3.4 million. We issued placement agent in the agreement warrants equal to a total of 7.0% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares sold in the transaction and 185,591 warrants to purchase up to 185,591 Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of $1.56 per share. The placement agent warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire four years following issuance.
We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception in 2018. Since inception, we have not generated any revenue.
As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and deposits were $7.3 million.
We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the next six months. We expect that we will require substantial additional capital to operate and to commercialize our products and we expect to seek additional funds to enable us to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
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 and selling 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. |
Until we can generate significant recurring revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt and/or equity financings. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our product candidates.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We operate primarily in Israel and approximately 70% of our expenses are denominated in NIS. We are therefore exposed to market risk, which represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates in connection with these arrangements.
We currently partially hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk to decrease the risk of financial exposure from fluctuations in the exchange rates of our principal operating currency. These measures, however, may not adequately protect us from the material adverse effects of such fluctuations.
4
Interest Rate Risk
We do not anticipate undertaking any significant long-term borrowing. At present, our investments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve the principal while maximizing the income that we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk and loss. Our investments may be exposed to market risk due to fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair market value of our investments, if any.
Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our NIS-denominated expenses, including salaries and benefits, as well as facility rental costs and payment to local suppliers. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses
Our current operating expenses consist of three components — research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and marketing expenses.
Revenue
To date, we have not generated revenue from the sale of any product, and we do not expect to generate significant revenue within the next 12 months.
Research and Development Expenses, net
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, share-based compensation expenses, materials costs consultants and other third parties who support the developments of our product service fees, and other related research and development expenses.
In October 2019, we received the approval of the IIA for its participation in certain development expenses carried out by the Company, within the framework of determined budgets and time periods. In October 2023, the IIA approved funding for another development project of the Company at an aggregate budget of NIS 3,850,869 (approximately $1,062 thousand) and committed to funding 40% of the approved budget. Approximately $159 thousand has been received as of July 31, 2024. Through June 30, 2024, we received a total of $959 thousand from the IIA.
The following table discloses the breakdown of research and development expenses:

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” under “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, 2024, included elsewhere in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception through June 30, 2024, we have funded our operations principally from the proceeds of our IPO, the sale of convertible securities, the proceeds from the exercise of warrants and from government grants.
Our management intends to raise additional funds through offerings of our securities that will be utilized to fund product development and continue operations and marketing. We do not have any material financial obligations as of the June 30, 2024. We believe that the proceeds from any future financings, combined with our cash on hand, are sufficient to meet our obligations for the next six months. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required for the long-term development and commercialization of its product offering.
As of June 30, 2024, we had $7,258 thousand in cash, cash equivalents and cash deposits.
