NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)
NOTE 1. GENERAL
REE Automotive Ltd. was incorporated in Israel on January 16, 2011.
REE Automotive Ltd. has established wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom (the “Subsidiaries”). REE Automotive Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “REE”, or “we”) is in the early stages of commercialization and is actively executing its business plan and establishing strategic collaborations with industry leaders to expand its industry footprint across segments. The Company is currently developing its core REEcornerTM technology and EV platforms, as well as full vehicles leveraging REEcornerTM technology. The Company has commenced initial production components at its Integration Center in Coventry, United Kingdom.
On February 3, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp (“10X Capital”), a Delaware corporation and special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), and Spark Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into 10X Capital (the “Merger”). The Merger was consummated on July 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) with 10X Capital becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the securityholders of 10X Capital becoming securityholders of the Company.
The Company became a Nasdaq listed publicly traded company on July 23, 2021, with its Class A ordinary shares, without par value (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) trading under the ticker symbol “REE” (for further information see Note 7). The Company also has Class B ordinary shares, without par value, having 10 votes per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) that include voting rights only and are not listed on the Nasdaq.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s principal source of liquidity includes its unrestricted cash balance in the amount of $37,488 and its short term investments in the amount of $67,460. The Company has incurred losses since inception and had negative cash flows used in operating activities of $46,455 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company’s ability to successfully carry out its business plan is primarily dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient additional capital. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed to support its operations. If the Company is unable to maintain sufficient financial resources its business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. The Company has approved a plan, to improve its available cash balances, liquidity and cash flows generated from operations.
The above mentioned alleviates the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date that the interim consolidated financial statements were issued.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s audited 2022 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been applied consistently to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash balances and bank deposits, including money market funds, that have a maturity, at the date of purchase, of three months or less.
Investments
The Company accounts for investments in debt securities in accordance with ASC 320, "Investments - Debt Securities". Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date.
Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity and are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Trading securities are those securities that the Company intends to sell in the near term and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses charged to earnings.
All other securities not included in the held-to-maturity or trading category are classified as available-for-sale and are carried to fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Generally, premiums are amortized to call date and discounts are accreted to maturity, on a level yield basis.
The Company’s investment securities as of the purchase date and as of June 30, 2023 are classified as held-to-maturity.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
The Company periodically evaluates its debt securities for impairment in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses on its debt securities as of June 30, 2023.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash, other accounts receivable, trade payables, and other accounts payable and accrued expenses. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value as presented, due to their short term maturities. We consider public warrant liabilities to be Level 1 and private warrants are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The financial liability for the warrant liabilities are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss. For short term investments refer to Notes 3 and 9.
Revenue recognition
Under ASC 606 “Revenue from contracts with customers”, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are within the scope of the standard, the Company perform the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) Determine the transaction price, (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenue at the time when its customer obtains control of the promised goods which is when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised product to the customer.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the products to the customer.
The Company applied the practical expedient in ASC 606 and did not evaluate payment terms of one year or less for the existence of a significant financing component.
Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company receives consideration prior to performing its obligations under the contract.
In April 2021, the Company entered into a strategic development agreement with a customer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to develop and supply REE platform prototypes. Revenue related to the agreement is deferred and will be recognized upon satisfying performance obligations in the contract. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded deferred revenues of $0 and $943, respectively. The Company’s contracts with customer prepayment terms do not include a significant financing component because the primary purpose is not to receive financing from the customers. For the six months ended on June 30, 2023, the Company recorded revenues in the amount of $943 upon the termination of the agreement with the customer.
For contracts in which the performance obligation has an original expected duration of one year or less, the Company does not provide disclosure on its remaining performance obligations.
Fulfillment costs are capitalized up to the amount that is expected to be recovered, and any excess amounts will be expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded capitalized costs of $0 and $943, respectively. Following the revenue recognition as described above, the Company recorded capitalized expenses in the amount of $943 in cost of sales.
Contract liabilities consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Deferred revenues, non-current | $ | — | | | $ | 943 | |
Remaining Performance Obligation
The Company’s remaining performance obligations are comprised of the delivery products and a material right for purchases of finished goods not yet delivered. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $0 and $943, respectively.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
As an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions, including delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The company adopted this ASU, but the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS
The Company’s investments as of June 30, 2023 are comprised of held-to-maturity securities consisting mainly of U.S. dollar denominated investments primarily in bank deposits, agency bonds, municipal bonds, commercial paper, and treasury bills. The Company’s investment guidelines are to purchase securities that are investment grade at the time of acquisition.

Open purchase orders that are cancellable are not considered unconditional purchase obligations for financial reporting purposes and are not included in the table above. Such purchase orders often represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements.
In addition, the Company enters into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors to perform various services, which are generally cancellable upon written notice. These payments are not included in this table of contractual obligations.
Guarantee
A short-term guarantee in the amount of approximately $11 was issued by a bank to secure the Company’s office rent and credit cards payments. A long-term guarantee in the amount of approximately $2,999 were recorded within Long-term restricted cash to secure the Company’s office and manufacturing locations.
Royalty bearing grants
The Company’s research and development efforts have been partially financed through grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for the technology related to the Softwheel segment. Under the research and development agreements with the IIA and pursuant to applicable laws, the Company is required to pay royalties at the rate of 3%-5% on sales of products developed with funds provided by the IIA. Such royalties are due up to an amount equal to 100% of the IIA grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar plus interest on the unpaid amount received based on the 12-month LIBOR rate (from the year the grant was approved) applicable to U.S. dollar deposits. If the Company returns to production of these products outside of Israel and generates sales, the ceiling will increase based on the percentage of production that is outside of Israel, up to a maximum of 300% of the IIA grants, linked to the U.S. dollar and bearing interest as noted above. If the Company does not generate sales of products developed with funds provided by the IIA, the Company is not obligated to pay royalties or repay the grants.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no expenses were recorded with respect to royalties to the IIA.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s remaining contingent obligations with respect to royalty-bearing participation received or accrued, net of royalties paid or accrued, were $730.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (cont.)
In 2018, the Company signed a research and development agreement with the Israel-United States Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (“BIRD”). Under this agreement, the Company is required to pay royalties at a rate of 5% of the sales of products developed with funds provided by BIRD up to an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate dollar amount of the grants received linked to the U.S. consumer price index. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no expenses were recorded with respect to royalties to BIRD.
As of June 30, 2023, the BIRD contingent liability with respect to royalty-bearing participation received or accrued, net of royalties paid or accrued, totaled $433.
Legal proceedings
On December 16, 2022, a lawsuit was filed to the court in Texas, Austin Division, against REE and its U.S. subsidiaries (in this section, the “Group”), by OSR Group alleging that the Group stole OSR Group’s trade secrets. The OSR Group requested the court to grant them the following: (a) a request for an injunction pertaining to the use of such trade secrets; (b) affirmative action to protect the OSR Group’s alleged trade secrets; (c) the establishment of a constructive trust to transfer all the relevant Group’s legal title and intellectual property to the OSR Group; (d) an award to the OSR Group of monetary damages in an amount of no less than USD 2.6 billion together with exemplary damages in an amount of no less than USD 5.2 billion, such amounts to be determined in the trial, plus interest; (e) an award to the OSR Group for all of its expenses relating to the action; (f) an award to the OSR Group of pre-judgment interest on all damages; and (g) an award of other relief as the court deem fit. REE believes that the lawsuit is without merit and is defending itself vigorously. REE denies any wrongdoing, and has filed a motion to dismiss for inconvenient forum. Consistent with REE's request to the Court, the Court has stayed all substantive discovery in the case pending a ruling on dismissal. Given the uncertainty of litigation and the preliminary stage of the lawsuit, the Company cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from this lawsuit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not record a loss contingency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time, REE may become involved in actions, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings, such as requests to disclose information before initiating derivative cases, arising in the ordinary course of our business, including but not limited to claims related to employment, intellectual property and shareholder matters.

Overview
REE is an automotive technology company whose mission is to be the cornerstone for zero-emission electric and autonomous vehicles. We aim to empower global companies, such as original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, delivery and logistics fleets, dealers, e-commerce retailers, new mobility players, Mobility-as-a-Service, or MaaS, providers and autonomous drive companies, in the build-out of any size or shape of electric or autonomous vehicle – from Class 1 through Class 6, focusing primarily on Class 3 through 5 platform models on the P7 EV platform. We envision a future where electric vehicles, or EV, and autonomous vehicles, or AV, will be “Powered by REE™”.
We are in the early stages of commercialization and are actively executing our business plan and establishing strategic collaborations with industry leaders to expand our industry footprint across segments. We are currently developing our core REEcornerTM technology and EV platforms, as well as full vehicles leveraging REEcornerTM technology.
We are targeting OEMs, delivery and logistic fleets, dealers, e-commerce retailers, new mobility players, MaaS providers and autonomous drive companies. Our proposed offering is geared to allow these companies to build entire fleets tailored to their exact needs based on REEcornerTM technology and Powered by REE platforms without the need to be constrained to traditional off-the-shelf EV offerings. We offer many customer benefits including vehicle design freedom based on exact business requirements, enabling reductions in time-to-market, more space and volume on a given footprint, potentially lowering total cost of ownership, faster development times, advanced driver-assistance systems, or ADAS, compatibility, and reduced maintenance costs and times and compliance with global safety standards.
Recently, we started establishing a dealership network across North America. We have entered into agreements with twelve authorized dealers. Each of these dealers has placed initial orders, which are included in our current order book. These dealers also facilitate relationships and adoption by fleets, which we believe could purchase hundreds or thousands of vehicles per year. We plan to offer training to authorized dealers to certify technicians to provide service on REE vehicles, facilitating adoption by each dealer’s fleet. As we seek to further expand our dealer network in the United States, we offer financing solutions for our dealers through an agreement with Mitsubishi HC Capital America to provide financing solutions to dealers in the REE network. This agreement is designed to streamline the process of obtaining the financing required for the purchase of our vehicles.
In addition to our dealer network, we are working with our three fleet customers, which we believe over time have the potential to translate to orders in the thousands. Additionally, we are pursuing multiple go-to-market paths to significantly accelerate the adoption of EVs by commercial fleet owners and operators. This includes collaborations with partners not only to develop full vehicle offerings, but also to provide a comprehensive ecosystem of enabling capabilities and services, such as vehicle financing, batteries, charging infrastructure, after-sales service and Data-as-a-Service, or DaaS, for a full turn-key solution that is intended to enable and expedite a smooth transition for our potential customers from internal combustion engine, or ICE, vehicles to EV fleets.
We are working closely with those customers who require a testing phase in order to optimize this important process and advance to firm fleet orders. Existing orders include both the Class 3-4 P7-B and Class 5 Proxima Powered by REE. Orders for the P7-B are for cab chassis configurations, while orders for Proxima Powered by REETM are for stripped chassis and a full vehicle via partnerships with body upfitters. As part of our philosophy of “complete not compete”, we continue to partner with the best upfitters in the industry, such as Knapheide and Morgan Truck Body, to expand our P7 offering and provide a complete vehicle to our customers.
Our full by-wire vehicle control system, x-by-wire, is intended to give electric vehicle operators the ability to steer and break Powered by REE vehicles fully by-wire, without any mechanical connection. We have contracted HORIBA MIRA, a world-leader in testing, to perform internal tests, modeling certain Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) certification requirements based on which we have determined the feasibility of our x-by-wire system to meet the requirements of FMVSS certification.
We are implementing a two phase production plan. Phase I of our production plan, which is expected to run through the third quarter of 2024, is focused on pilot production of vehicles from our UK integration center. In July 2023, we initiated a $15 million production tooling program. We are targeting the delivery of our first pilot vehicles at the end
of this year, subject to certification and are taking a measured approach to allow time for customer feedback, stabilizing production processes and, most importantly, optimizing our bill of material and production costs. We believe this deliberate approach will reduce risks associated with premature production ramp up and the resulting extensive costs, allowing us to incorporate feedback from early customers and ensure the quality and safety of our vehicles. Phase II is currently planned to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024 which is expected to result in a total production plan of up to 300 vehicles during 2024 ramping up to low thousands of vehicles in 2025 and mid thousands of vehicles in 2026.
As part of our disciplined and risk-averse approach, we plan to enter into an agreement with a US contract manufacturer which we believe will enable us to bring vehicles with numbers in the mid thousands to market without the need for heavy capital expenditure investment by allowing us to concentrate on our current Capex-light REEcornerTM Integration Centers and shifting full vehicle assembly to the contract manufacturer as part of our strategy.
Key Components of Statement of Operations
Revenue
We are in the early stages of commercialization and currently have no significant revenues. We expect that the significant majority of our revenue will be derived from direct sales to OEMs, dealers, logistics and technology companies and, thereafter, other related products and services within the REE ecosystem.
Cost of Sales
We are in the early stages of commercialization and currently have no significant cost of sales. We expect that the significant majority of our cost of sales will include vehicle components and parts, including batteries, raw materials, direct labor costs, warranty costs and costs related to the operation of manufacturing facilities.
Research and Development Expenses, Net
Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with the employment of our engineering staff, including share based compensation, third-party engineering consultants, development projects such as corners programs and component programs and program consumables, costs associated with our properties, and depreciation of our fixed assets. We expect research and development expenses to increase as we continue to develop our products, components, technology and software.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs associated with employment of our non-engineering staff, including share based compensation, legal, insurance, accounting and consulting expenses, travel and marketing expenses such as public relations activities and trade shows, costs associated with our properties, and depreciation of our fixed assets. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as our overall activity levels increase due to the construction and operation of facilities and costs associated with being a public company.
Finance Income, Net
Finance income, net consists primarily of interest income and foreign exchange gains or losses offset by bank fees. Foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to changes in the value of our non-U.S. denominated financial assets, primarily cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any indebtedness for borrowed amounts. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. We expect interest income to vary depending on our average investment balances and market interest rates during each reporting period.

In April 2021, we entered into a strategic development agreement with a customer, pursuant to which we agreed to develop and supply our platform prototypes. In 2021, revenue in the amount of $0.9 million related to the agreement was deferred. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded revenue in the amount of $0.9 million upon the termination of the agreement with the customer.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased by $0.9 million, from an immaterial amount for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to expensing of deferred expenses related to the strategic development agreement with a customer which was terminated as described above.
Research and Development Expenses, Net
Research and development expenses, net increased by $1.2 million, from $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $19.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in grants received from the UK government, higher expenses related to R&D for the P7 platform and an increase in lease and related expenses in respect of our facility in Austin, Texas. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in share based compensation expense of $1.1 million, from $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $2.25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as well as a decrease in salaries and
related expenses related to a decrease in R&D employee headcount. Excluding share-based compensation, R&D expenses increased by $2.4 million, or 16%, from $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3.2 million, from $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in share based compensation expense of $0.9 million, from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as well as a decrease in director and officers insurance expenses and in professional fees. Excluding share-based compensation, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.3 million, or 27%, from $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Income from Warrants Remeasurement
We had no income or loss from the remeasurement of the value of warrants for the three months ended
June 30, 2023 following the registered exchange offer of our outstanding warrants that we completed in September 2022 and the subsequent removal of the warrants from listing. We recognized income of $2.4 million from the remeasurement of the value of warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The income from warrants remeasurement is from the change in fair value prior to the settlement of the warrant liability recognized in our statement of comprehensive loss.
Financial Income, Net
Financial income, net was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to financial income, net of $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in financial income, net was primarily due to decrease in foreign currency gains, partially offset by an increase in income from short term investments.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased by $0.7 million from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to income tax income of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the recognition of an uncertain tax position for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
As of the date of this Report, we have yet to generate significant revenues from our principal business operations and has generated minimal revenues and we do not expect to generate significant revenues from the sale of our products in the upcoming quarters. Since inception, we have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations and have funded our operations, capital expenditure and working capital requirements through capital contributions, private placements and public offerings of our equity securities, investments from certain strategic partners, and from the consummation of a merger by and among REE, Spark Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of REE, or the Merger Sub, and 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation or 10X, whereby Merger Sub merged with and into 10X, with 10X surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of REE, and with the securityholders of 10X becoming securityholders of REE, or the Merger.
We expect our capital expenditures and working capital requirements to continue in the near future, as we seek to produce our products, develop our customer support and marketing infrastructure and continue our R&D efforts. As of June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $37.5 million and our short term investments were $67.5 million. We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short term investments will be sufficient to achieve initial production of our P7 platform and continue to advance other commercial activities. However, additional funding will be required for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, the ramping up phase of our production plan and any delays in the anticipated schedule to complete the design, certification or delivery of
our products. In addition, our budget projections may be subject to cost overruns for reasons outside of our control and we may experience slower sales growth than anticipated, which would pose a risk to us achieving cash flow positivity. We have approved a plan, to improve our available cash balances, liquidity and cash flows generated from operations. The above mentioned alleviates the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of this Report on Form 6-K.
There can be no assurance that any financing would be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If the financing is not available, or if the terms of the financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to decrease our level of investment in production, product development, renegotiate development agreements with collaboration partners or scale back our operations, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial prospects. Additionally, any funds raised through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities may result in the issuance of securities that have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our Class A Ordinary Shares or the dilution of our existing shareholders.
On August 16, 2022, we entered into the ATM Sales Agreement, or the BofA ATM Sales Agreement, with BofA Securities, Inc., or BofA, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, at our option, up to $75.0 million of our Class A Ordinary Shares through an “at-the-market” equity program under which BofA agreed to act as sales agent. As of the date of this report, we have not sold any of our Class A Ordinary Shares under the BofA ATM Sales Agreement. In addition, on July 14, 2023, we entered into an at-the-market offering agreement, or the Wainwright ATM Sales Agreement, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, at our option, up to $35.0 million of our Class A Ordinary Shares through an “at-the-market” equity program under which Wainwright acts as sales agent. As of the date of this report, we have sold 2,277,355 Class A Ordinary Shares under the Wainwright ATM Sales Agreement for total gross proceeds of approximately $0.7 million.
In addition, in August 2023, we established a credit facility with a leading Israeli commercial bank in the amount of $15 million. Under the terms, the bank is committed to fund the credit facility until December 31, 2024 (under certain conditions, the bank has the right to terminate the credit facility on December 31, 2023). The credit facility bears a variable interest at the rate of Monthly Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus an annual margin of 3.5%. The interest is payable on a monthly basis. Under the terms of the credit facility, we are required to keep unsecured deposits in the aforementioned bank in the amount of $20.0 million. As of the date of this report, no amounts have been drawn under this credit facility.
As an early-stage growth company in the early commercialization stage, the net losses we have incurred since inception are consistent with our strategy and budget. We will continue to incur net losses in accordance with our operating plan as we continue to expand our operations to meet anticipated demand.
