REWALK ROBOTICS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

 

  a. ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (“RRL”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel on June 20, 2001 and commenced operations on the same date.

 

  b. RRL has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) ReWalk Robotics Inc. (“RRI”) incorporated under the laws of Delaware on February 15, 2012 and (ii) ReWalk Robotics GMBH. (“RRG”) incorporated under the laws of Germany on January 14, 2013.

 

  c. The Company is designing, developing and commercializing robotic exoskeletons that allow individuals with mobility impairments or other medical conditions the ability to stand and walk once again. The Company has developed and is continuing to commercialize the ReWalk, an exoskeleton designed for individuals with paraplegia that uses our patented tilt-sensor technology and an on-board computer and motion sensors to drive motorized legs that power movement. The ReWalk system consists of a light wearable brace support suit which integrates motors at the joints, rechargeable batteries, an array of sensors and a computer-based control system to power knee and hip movement. There are currently two types of ReWalk products: ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation. ReWalk Personal is designed for everyday use by individuals at home and in their communities and is custom-fitted for each user. ReWalk Rehabilitation is designed for the clinical rehabilitation environment where it provides individuals access to valuable exercise and therapy. Additionally, the Company developed and, in June 2019, started to commercialize the ReStore following receipt of European Union CE mark and United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use in the rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb disability due to stroke.

 

  d. On March 27, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a reverse share split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of 1-for-25, which became effective on April 1, 2019. At the effective time, every twenty-five shares of the Company’s common shares that were issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share, the par value per share of the ordinary shares changed to NIS 0.25. All authorized, issued and outstanding share and per share amounts contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect this reverse share split for all prior periods presented. All share and per share data included in these condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

REWALK ROBOTICS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

   

  e. The Company has an accumulated deficit in the total amount of approximately $165 million as of September 30, 2019 and negative cash flow from operations of $11 million, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.

 

The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, reducing operating spend, and future issuances of equity and debt securities, or through a combination of the foregoing. However, the Company will need to seek additional sources of financing if the Company requires more funds than anticipated during the next 12 months or in later periods.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2:- UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s (i) consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2019, (ii) consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September  30, 2019 and (iii) consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) (iv) consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September  30, 2019. The results for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2019, as applicable, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

NOTE 3:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Units placed

 

We currently offer three products: ReWalk Personal, ReWalk Rehabilitation units for Spinal Cord Injury (“SCI Products”) and ReStore soft suit exoskeleton for rehabilitation of individuals suffering from stroke. SCI Products are currently designed for everyday use by paraplegic individuals at home and in their communities, and is custom fitted for each user, as well as for use by paraplegia patients in the clinical rehabilitation environment, where it provides individuals access to valuable exercise and therapy. The ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use in the rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb disability due to stroke in the clinical rehabilitation environment.

 

Units placed includes revenue from sales of SCI Products and ReStore.

 

We also offer a rent-to-purchase model in which we recognize revenue according to the agreed rental monthly fee. For units placed, we transfer control and recognize a sale when title has passed to our customer and rental revenue is recognized ratably according to the agreed rental monthly fee. Each unit placed is considered an independent, unbundled performance obligation.

 

Spare parts and warranties

 

Spare parts are sold to private individuals, rehabilitation facilities and distributors. For spare part sales, we transfer control and recognize a sale when title has passed to our customer. Each part sold is considered an independent, unbundled performance obligation.

 

Warranties are classified as either assurance type or service type warranty. A warranty is considered an assurance type warranty if it provides the consumer with assurance that the product will function as intended for a limited period of time.

 

In the beginning of 2018, we updated our service policy for SCI Products to include a five-year warranty compared to a period of two years that were included in the past for parts and services. The first two years are considered as assurance type warranty and the additional period is considered an extended service arrangement, which is a service type warranty. An assurance type warranty is not accounted for as separate performance obligations under the revenue model. A service type warranty is either sold with a unit or separately for units for which the warranty has expired. Revenue is then recognized ratably over the life of the warranty.

 

The ReStore device is offered with two-year warranty which are considered as assurance type warranty.

  b. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to enhance the transparency and comparability of financial reporting related to leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

 

Prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-02, when our lease agreements contained rent payment relief and rent escalation clauses, we recorded a deferred rent asset or liability equal to the difference between the rent expense and the future minimum lease payments due. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current maturities of operating leases and noncurrent operating lease liabilities.

 

The Company used the modified retrospective transition method, under which we applied the standard as a cumulative effect adjustment to each lease that had commenced as of the beginning of January 1, 2019 and did not apply the standard to comparative historical periods. In addition, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company has elected, as of the adoption date, not to reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, not to reassess the lease classification for expired or existing leases, and not to reassess whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842.

 

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes the lease expense for such leases on a straight-line basis in the statement of operations over the lease term. As a result, the Company no longer recognizes deferred rent on the balance sheet.

 

Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right–of–use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $2,099 and $2,249, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, the right–of–use assets and corresponding lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were $1,764 and $1,905, respectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. See also note 5b - Lease commitment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05, which amends the current approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial assets, including trade and other receivables. Generally, this amendment requires entities to establish a valuation allowance for the expected lifetime losses of these certain financial assets. Upon the initial recognition of such assets, which will be based on, among other things, historical information, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. Subsequent changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in current earnings and reversal of previous losses are permitted. Currently, U.S. GAAP requires entities to write down credit losses only when losses are probable and loss reversals are not permitted. The update is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  c. Concentrations of Credit Risks:

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivable is primarily limited to a customer to which the Company makes substantial sales.

    2019     2018  
Customer A     19 %     * )

Customer H     * )     14 %
Customer I     * )     13 %
Customer J     * )     12 %

 

  *) Less than 10%

 

The Company’s trade receivables are geographically diversified and derived primarily from sales to customers in various countries, mainly in the United States and Europe. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its distributors based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices. The Company writes off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible and having exhausted all collection efforts. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 trade receivables are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $31 thousand and $32 thousand, respectively, and net of sales return reserve of $86 thousand and $105 thousand as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

  d. Warranty provision

 

The Company provided a two-year standard warranty for its SCI Products. In the beginning of 2018, we updated our service policy for new SCI Products sold to include a five-year warranty. ReStore service policy includes two-year warranty. The Company determined that the first two years of warranty is an assurance-type warranty and records a provision for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the time of sale. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty reserve include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair.

  c. Royalties:

 

The Company’s research and development efforts are financed, in part, through funding from the Israel Innovation Authority (the “IIA”) and Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (the “BIRD”). Since the Company’s inception through September 30, 2019, the Company received funding from the IIA and BIRD in the total amount of $1.97 million and $500 thousand, respectively. Out of the $1.97 million in funding from the IIA, a total amount of $1.57 million were royalty bearing grants (as of September 30, 2019, the Company paid royalties to the IIA in the total amount of $50 thousand), while a total amount of $400 thousand was received in consideration of 209 convertible preferred A shares, which converted after our initial public offering in September 2014 into ordinary shares in a conversion ratio of 1 to 1. The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the IIA, amounting to 3%-3.5% of the sales of the products and other related revenues generated from such projects, up to 100% of the grants received. The royalty payment obligations also bear interest at the LIBOR rate. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the applicable products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required. The Company was obligated to pay royalties to BIRD amounting to 5% of the sales of the products and other related revenues generated from such projects, up to 150% of the grants received.

 

Additionally, the License Agreement requires the Company to pay Harvard royalties on net sales, See note 6 below for more information about the Collaboration Agreement and the License Agreement.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, $8 and $13 thousand, respectively, were recorded as royalties expenses in cost of revenues. No royalties expenses were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the contingent liability to the IIA amounted to $1.5 million. The Israeli Research and Development Law provides that know-how developed under an approved research and development program may not be transferred to third parties without the approval of the IIA. Such approval is not required for the sale or export of any products resulting from such research or development. The IIA, under special circumstances, may approve the transfer of IIA-funded know-how outside Israel, in the following cases:

 

(a) the grant recipient pays to the IIA a portion of the sale price paid in consideration for such IIA-funded know-how or in consideration for the sale of the grant recipient itself, as the case may be, which portion will not exceed six times the amount of the grants received plus interest (or three times the amount of the grant received plus interest, in the event that the recipient of the know-how has committed to retain the research and development activities of the grant recipient in Israel after the transfer); (b) the grant recipient receives know-how from a third party in exchange for its IIA-funded know-how; (c) such transfer of IIA-funded know-how arises in connection with certain types of cooperation in research and development activities; or (d) if such transfer of know-how arises in connection with a liquidation by reason of insolvency or receivership of the grant recipient.

 

  d. Liens:

 

As discussed in Note 6 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), the Company is party to a loan agreement, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), with Kreos Capital V (Expert Fund) Limited (“Kreos”), pursuant to which Kreos extended a $20 million line of credit to the Company. In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company granted Kreos a first priority security interest over all of its assets, including intellectual property and equity interests in its subsidiaries, subject to certain permitted security interests.

 

The Company’s other long-term assets in the amount of $737 thousand have been pledged to third parties as a security in respect to lease agreements. Such deposit cannot be pledged to others or withdrawn without the consent of such third party.

  e. Legal Claims:

 

Occasionally the Company is involved in various claims, lawsuits, regulatory examinations, investigations and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is inherently uncertain. In making a determination regarding accruals, using available information, the Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which the Company is a party and records a loss contingency when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Where the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable, the Company does not accrue for any potential litigation loss. These subjective determinations are based on the status of such legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of the Company’s defenses and consultation with legal counsel. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the Company’s current estimates. It is possible that resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could result in losses material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

 

Between September 2016 and January 2017, eight putative class actions were commenced on behalf of alleged shareholders that purchased or acquired the Company’s ordinary shares pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-197344) used in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). As of September 30, 2019, seven were dismissed and were not appealed within the deadline for appeal and one, which commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “District Court”), was partially dismissed and timely appealed. These actions involved or involve claims under various sections of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), against the Company, certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers, the underwriters of the IPO and certain other defendants.

 

As cited above, the action commenced in the District Court, alleging violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, was partially dismissed on August 23, 2018. In particular, the District Court granted the motion to dismiss the claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, finding that the plaintiff failed to plead a false or misleading statement in the IPO registration statement. The District Court did not address the claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act because, as a result of the dismissal of the claims under the Securities Act, the lead plaintiff lacked standing to pursue those claims. On September 10, 2018, the lead plaintiff sought leave to amend his complaint to add a new plaintiff that purportedly has standing to pursue Exchange Act claims, and the Company opposed the motion to amend on September 24, 2018. On May 16, 2019, the court denied the plaintiff’s motion to amend and the complaint was dismissed. The plaintiff timely appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.  The plaintiffs filed their appellate brief and the Company’s opposition is due on December 20, 2019. 

  

Based on information currently available and the current stage of the litigation, we are unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible losses, if any, with regard to the remaining lawsuit in the District Court; therefore, no litigation reserve has been recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019. We will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for losses at the time or times if and when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.

NOTE 6:- RESEARCH COLLABORATION AGREEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

 

On May 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration Agreement and an Exclusive License Agreement with Harvard College. The Research Collaboration Agreement was amended on May 1, 2017 and April 1, 2018 (as amended, the “Collaboration Agreement”), and the Exclusive License Agreement was amended on April 1, 2018 (as amended, the “License Agreement”), to extend the term of the Collaboration Agreement by one year to May 16, 2022 and reallocate the Company’s quarterly installment payments to Harvard through such date, and to make certain technical changes.

 

Under the Collaboration Agreement, Harvard and the Company have agreed to collaborate on research regarding the development of lightweight “soft suit” exoskeleton system technologies for lower limb disabilities, which are intended to treat stroke, multiple sclerosis, mobility limitations for the elderly and other medical applications. The Company has committed to pay in quarterly installments for the funding of this research, subject to a minimum funding commitment under applicable circumstances. The Collaboration Agreement will expire on May 16, 2022.

 

Under the License Agreement, Harvard has granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide royalty-bearing license under certain patents of Harvard relating to lightweight “soft suit” exoskeleton system technologies for lower limb disabilities, a royalty-free license under certain related know-how and the option to obtain a license under certain inventions conceived under the joint research collaboration.

 

The License Agreement requires the Company to pay Harvard an upfront fee, reimbursements for expenses that Harvard incurred in connection with the licensed patents, royalties on net sales and several milestone payments contingent upon the achievement of certain product development and commercialization milestones. The License Agreement will continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of the licensed patents. As of September 30, 2019, the Company achieved three of the milestones which represent all development milestones under the License Agreement. The Company continues to evaluate the likelihood that the other milestones will be achieved on a quarterly basis.

 

The Company’s total payment obligation under the Collaboration Agreement and the License Agreement is $7.2 million, some of which is subject to a minimum funding commitment under applicable circumstances as indicated above.

 

The Company has recorded expenses in the amount of $252 thousand and $1,364 thousand which are part of the total payment obligation indicated above, as research and development expenses related to the License Agreement and to the Collaboration Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. No withholding tax was deducted from the Company’s payments to Harvard in respect of the Collaboration Agreement and the License Agreement since this is not taxable income in Israel in accordance with Section 170 of the Israel Income Tax Ordinance 1961-5721.

 

NOTE 7:- SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

  a. Reverse share split: 

 

On March 27, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved (i) a reverse share split within a range of 1:8 to 1:32, to be effective at the ratio and on a date to be determined by the Board of Directors, and (ii) amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association authorizing an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital (and corresponding authorized number of ordinary shares, proportionally adjusting such number for the reverse share split) by up to NIS 17.5 million. Following the shareholder approval, an authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one-for-twenty-five reverse share split of the Company’s ordinary shares, and the Company filed the Third Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company with the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel to effect the reverse share split and to increase the Company’s authorized share capital after the effect of the reverse share split. The reverse share split became effective on April 1, 2019. Additionally, effective at the same time, the total number of ordinary shares the Company is authorized to issue changed from 250,000,000 shares to 60,000,000 shares, the par value per share of the ordinary shares changed to NIS 0.25 and the authorized share capital of the Company changed from NIS 2,500,000 to NIS 15,000,000. All share and per share data included in these condensed consolidated financial statements, for periods before the three months ended September 30, 2019, give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split.

REWALK ROBOTICS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse share split, every twenty-five shares were automatically combined and converted into one ordinary share. Appropriate adjustments were also made to all outstanding derivative securities of the Company, including all outstanding equity awards and warrants.

 

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse share split. Instead, all fractional shares (including shares underlying outstanding equity awards and warrants) were rounded down to the nearest whole number.

 

  b. Share option plans:

 

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had reserved 9,362 and 52,298 ordinary shares, respectively, for issuance to the Company’s and its affiliates’ respective employees, directors, officers and consultants pursuant to equity awards granted under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”).

 

Options to purchase ordinary shares generally vest over four years, with certain options to non-employee directors vesting quarterly over one year. Any option that is forfeited or canceled before expiration becomes available for future grants under the 2014 Plan.

 

The fair value for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was estimated at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions:

   

   Nine Months Ended

   2019   2018 
Expected volatility   57.5%   57.07 - 61.12%

Dividend yield   %   —% 
Expected term (in years)   6.11    6.11 
Share price  $5.37   $25.50 - 28.75 

  

The fair value of restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted is determined based on the price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant.

 

A summary of employee share options activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:

  f. Equity raise:

 

  1. At-the-market offering program:

On May 10, 2016, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Piper Jaffray & Co. (“Piper Jaffray”), as amended on May 9, 2019, pursuant to which it may offer and sell, from time to time, ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $25 million, through Piper Jaffray acting as its agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, Piper Jaffray will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on the Company’s behalf all of the ordinary shares requested to be sold by the Company, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. Piper Jaffray may also act as principal in the sale of ordinary shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Sales may be made under the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 9, 2016, or the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2019 (the “Form S-3”), in what may be deemed “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ATM Offering Program”). Sales may be made directly on or through the NASDAQ Capital Market, the existing trading market for the Company’s ordinary shares, to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions. Piper Jaffray is entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold through it as agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Where Piper Jaffray acts as principal in the sale of ordinary shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement, such rate of compensation will not apply, but in no event will the total compensation of Piper Jaffray, when combined with the reimbursement of Piper Jaffray for the out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, exceed 8.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the ordinary shares. The Company is not required to sell any of its ordinary shares at any time.

 

From the inception of the ATM Offering Program in May 2016 until September 30, 2019, the Company had sold 302,092 ordinary shares under the ATM Offering Program for gross proceeds of $15.7 million and net proceeds to the Company of $14.5 million (after commissions, fees and expenses). Additionally, as of that date, the Company had paid Piper Jaffray compensation for the fixed commission rate of 3.0% in the aggregated amount of $471 thousand and had incurred total expenses (including such commissions) of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the ATM Offering Program.

  3. Investment agreement

 

On March 6, 2018, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Timwell Corporation Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Timwell”), as amended on May 15, 2018 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to Timwell, in three different tranches, an aggregate of 640,000 ordinary shares in return for aggregate gross proceeds of $20 million. The closing of each tranche is subject to certain closing conditions. The closing of the first tranche (the “First Tranche Closing”) took place on May 15, 2018, upon which Timwell received 160,000 ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, and Timwell and the Company signed a registration rights agreement in the form attached to the Investment Agreement. The net aggregate proceeds of the First Tranche Closing after deducting fees and other related expenses in the amount of approximately $705 thousands were approximately $4.3 million. The remaining investment is to occur in two tranches, including $10 million for the issuance to Timwell of 320,000 ordinary shares (the “Second Tranche”) and $5 million for the issuance to Timwell of 160,000 ordinary shares (the “Third Tranch”). The closing of the second and third tranches is subject to specified closing conditions, including, with respect to the second tranche, the signing of a license agreement and a supply agreement and the formation of the China JV (the “China JV”) based on the JV Framework Agreement, and, with respect to the third tranche, the successful production of certain ReWalk products by the China JV. The second tranche closing was initially expected to occur by July 1, 2018 and the third tranche closing was initially expected to occur by December 31, 2018 and no later than April 1, 2019.

 

In light of the positions taken by Timwell during the negotiations on definitive joint venture and license agreements, we no longer believe that agreement can be reached on the basis of the original understandings reflected in our Investment Agreement with Timwell. Although we generally remain in dialogue with RealCan, Timwell’s affiliate, on alternative pathways that will allow us to commercialize our products in China through RealCan and its affiliates, and also provide for RealCan or an affiliate to invest in us. Due to the current lack of communication, various delays in the process and other barriers to closing, there is a significant risk that we will not reach agreement with RealCan on a modification of the original agreement. As we continue to view China as a market with key opportunities for products designed for stroke patients, we continue to evaluate potential relationships with other groups to penetrate the Chinese market.

Overview

 

We are an innovative medical device company that is designing, developing and commercializing robotic exoskeletons that allow individuals with mobility impairments or other medical conditions the ability to stand and walk once again. We have developed and are continuing to commercialize our SCI Products, ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehab devices, these exoskeletons designed for individuals with paraplegia that uses our patented tilt-sensor technology and an on-board computer and motion sensors to drive motorized legs that power movement. Additionally, we have also developed and commercialized our ReStore device in June 2019, ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use in the rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb disability due to stroke.

 

We have in the past generated and expect to generate in the future revenues from a combination of third-party payors, self-payors, including private and government employers, and institutions. While a broad uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement by third-party commercial payors currently does not exist in the United States for electronic exoskeleton technologies such as ReWalk, we are pursuing various paths of reimbursement and support fundraising efforts by institutions and clinics. In December 2015, the Veterans’ Administration, or the VA, issued a national policy for the evaluation, training and procurement of ReWalk Personal exoskeleton units for all qualifying veterans across the United States. The VA policy is the first national coverage policy in the United States for qualifying individuals who have suffered spinal cord injury. As of September 30, 2019, we had placed 22 units as part of the VA policy.

 

In June 2018, the VA updated its national policy to provide expanded access to ReWalk exoskeletons for veterans in private rehabilitation clinics through the Veterans Choice Program. Under the VA’s revised policy, the exoskeleton evaluation process will have all veterans flow through one of 24 designated spinal cord injury VA centers (which we refer to as “SCI/D”). Once a veteran is determined to be qualified for training and procurement of his/her own exoskeleton unit, the individual may be allowed to pursue training on exoskeleton use, such as use of the ReWalk (i) at the applicable SCI/D hub center; (ii) on a case-by-case basis, at a qualified VA hospital designated by the VA’s “hub & spoke” program; or (iii) on a case-by-case basis, at a qualified private rehabilitation center via the VA’s Veteran’s Choice Program, through which veterans can receive care from a community provider paid for by the VA. Additionally, to date several private insurers in the United States and Europe have provided reimbursement for ReWalk in certain cases, and in September 2017, each of German insurer BARMER GEK (“Barmer”) and national social accident insurance provider Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (“DGUV”), signed a confirmation and letter of agreement, respectively, regarding the provision of ReWalk units for all qualifying beneficiaries. In February 2018, the head office of German statutory health insurance, or SHI, Spitzenverband (“GKV”) confirmed their decision to list the ReWalk Personal 6.0 Exoskeleton unit in the German Medical Device Directory. This decision means that ReWalk will be listed among all medical devices for compensation, which SHI providers can procure for any approved beneficiary on a case-by-case basis. We are currently working with several SHI’s on securing a formal operating contract that will establish the process of obtaining a ReWalk Personal 6.0 device for their beneficiaries within their system.

 

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and anticipate this to continue in the near term. In 2019, we will continue to evaluate spending to reduce where possible while continuing to focus resources on activities to commercialize the Restore device for stroke patients, achieving additional commercial reimbursement coverage decisions for our ReWalk Personal device, continued research and development activities related mainly to our soft exo-suit design and activities related to our FDA 522 postmarket study.

ReStore unit revenues   107        168     
Revenues  $1,234   $1,617   $3,692   $4,966 

 

Revenues decreased by $383 thousand, or 24%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Revenues decreased by approximately $1,274 thousand, or 26%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in revenue for both three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was driven primarily by lower number of units placed with the VA for its ongoing clinical study.

 

In the future we expect our growth to be driven by sales of our ReWalk Personal device to third-party payors as we continue to focus our resources on broader commercial coverage policies with third-party payors as well as sales of the ReStore device to rehabilitation institutes.

 

Gross Profit

 

Our gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended
September 30,
   Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2018
 
   2019   2018   2019   2018 
Gross profit  $649   $762   $2,010   $2,211 

 

Gross profit was 53% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 47% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Gross profit was 54% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 45% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was mainly driven by higher average selling price due to change in sales mix of our ReWalk Personal device and less costs related to inventory write-off.

 

We expect our gross profit to remain at current levels and potentially improve as we increase our sales volumes and decrease the product manufacturing costs. Improvements may be partially offset by the lower margins we expect upon the launch period of our new ReStore device and an increase in the cost of product parts.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expenses, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands): 

  

    Three Months Ended

    Nine Months Ended

Research and development expenses, net   $ 1,018     $ 1,597     $ 4,292     $ 5,645  

 

Research and development expenses, net, decreased $579 thousand, or 36%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Research and development expenses, net, decreased $1,353 thousand, or 24%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is attributable to decreased costs associated with the development and clinical study costs of our ReStore soft suit exoskeleton.

 

We intend to focus our research and development expenses in the near term primarily on the ReStore product for stroke patients and in the longer term on a “soft suit” exoskeleton for additional indications affecting the ability to walk, including multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease and elderly assistance as well as the next generation of our current ReWalk device.

  

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Our sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands): 

 

   Three Months Ended

   2019   2018   2019   2018 
Sales and marketing expenses  $1,453   $1,926   $4,571   $6,187 

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $473 thousand, or 25%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1,616 thousand, or 26%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is driven by lower personnel and personnel-related costs and consulting expenses as result of our cost reduction efforts.

 

In the near term our sales and marketing expenses are expected to be driven by our efforts to commercialize the ReStore device and to increase reimbursement of the ReWalk Personal device, as we continue to pursue insurance claims on a case-by-case basis and invest in efforts to expand coverage.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

General and administrative expenses decreased $153 thousand, or 11%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. General and administrative expenses decreased $1,632 thousand, or 29%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was driven by cash and non-cash compensation recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to severance accrual for the Company’s former chief financial officer, as well as higher legal expenses related to China market development activities that were recorded in the same prior periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Besides the estimates identified above that are considered critical, we make many other accounting estimates in preparing our financial statements and related disclosures. See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2018 Form 10-K for a description of the significant accounting policies that we used to prepare our consolidated financial statements.

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or our critical judgments from the information provided in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” of our 2018 Form 10-K except for the updates provided in note 3 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity and Outlook

 

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of certain of our equity securities and convertible notes to investors in private placements, the sale of our ordinary shares in public offerings and the incurrence of bank debt.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20 million. The Company has an accumulated deficit in the total amount of approximately $165 million as of September 30, 2019 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, reducing operating spend, future issuances of equity and debt securities, or through a combination of the foregoing. However, the Company will need to seek additional sources of financing if the Company require more funds than anticipated during the next 12 months or in later periods.

 

We previously considered the Investment Agreement with Timwell as a potential source of ongoing liquidity. We no longer believe that we can reach an agreement with Timwell to close the remaining $15.0 million of issuances on the basis of the original understandings reflected in our Investment Agreement and currently see a significant risk that we will not reach agreement with RealCan on a modification of the original agreement. For more information, see “Timwell Private Placement” below.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our anticipated primary uses of cash are (i) sales, marketing and reimbursement expenses related to market development activities of our ReStore device as well as broadening third-party payor coverage, and (ii) research and development costs related to, in the shorter term, our ReStore device that will assist patients who had stroke, and, in the longer term, developing our next generation of ReWalk with design improvements and building upon our exo-suit technological platform to address new medical indications that affect the ability to walk including cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease and elderly assistance. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of our spending on research and development efforts and international expansion. If our current estimates of revenue, expenses or capital or liquidity requirements change or are inaccurate, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities, arrange for additional bank debt financing or refinance our indebtedness. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms. For more information, see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors-We have concluded that there are substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.” in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Loan Agreement with Kreos and Related Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares

 

On December 30, 2015, we entered into the Loan Agreement with Kreos pursuant to which Kreos extended a line of credit to us in the amount of $20 million. On January 4, 2016, we drew down $12.0 million under the Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement we were entitled to draw down up to an additional $8.0 million until December 31, 2016, if we raised $10.0 million or more in the issuance of shares of our capital stock (including debt convertible into shares of our capital stock) by December 31, 2016. On December 28, 2016, we drew down the remaining $8.0 million available under the Loan Agreement. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on any amounts drawn down at a rate of 10.75% per year from the applicable drawdown date through the date on which all principal is repaid. As of June 30, 2017, the Company raised more than $20 million in connection with the issuance of its share capital and therefore, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the repayment period was extended from 24 months to 36 months. The principal was also reduced in connection with the issuance to Kreos on June 9, 2017 of a $3.0 million secured convertible promissory note (the “Kreos Convertible Note”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we paid Kreos a transaction fee equal to 1.0% of the total available amount of the line of credit upon the execution of the agreement and we will be required to pay Kreos an “end of loan payment” equal to 1.0% of the amount of each tranche drawn down upon the expiration of each such tranche. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we granted Kreos a first priority security interest over all of our assets, including certain intellectual property and equity interests in its subsidiaries, subject to certain permitted security interests.

 

In connection with the $12.0 million drawdown under the Loan Agreement, we issued to Kreos the warrant to purchase up to 4,771 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $241 per share, which represented the average of the closing prices of our ordinary shares for the 30-day calendar period prior to the date of the issuance of the warrant, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant. In connection with the $8.0 million drawdown under the Loan Agreement on December 28, 2016, we increased the amount of the warrant from $1.15 million to $1.61 million, or by $460 thousand, such that the warrant represents the right to purchase up to 6,679 of our ordinary shares. The increase was based on the terms of the warrant, which provide that the amount of the warrant will be increased by 5.75% of any additional drawdowns. Subject to the terms of the warrant, the warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) December 30, 2025, or (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of us with or into, or the sale or license of all or substantially all our assets or shares to, any other entity or person, other than a wholly- owned subsidiary of us, excluding any transaction in which our shareholders prior to the transaction will hold more than 50% of the voting and economic rights of the surviving entity after the transaction.

 

On June 9, 2017, the Company and Kreos entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). As of that date the outstanding principal amount under the Loan Agreement was $17.2 million. Under the First Amendment, $3.0 million of the outstanding principal under the Loan Agreement is subject to repayment pursuant to the senior secured Kreos Convertible Note issued on June 9, 2017, thus reducing the outstanding principal amount under the Loan Agreement to $14.2 million as of June 9, 2017. This amended outstanding principal amount remains subject to repayment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and an amended repayment schedule. Interest on the Kreos Convertible Note is payable monthly in arrears at a rate of 10.75% per year.

 

Kreos may convert the then-outstanding principal and “end of loan payments” under the Kreos Convertible Note, in whole or in part, on one or more occasions, into up to 100,946 ordinary shares, at a conversion price per share equal to $31.7 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) at any time until the earlier of (i) the maturity date of June 9, 2020 or (ii) a “Change of Control,” as defined in the Loan Agreement.

 

On November 20, 2018, the Company and Kreos entered into the Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). In the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to repay $3.6 million to Kreos in satisfaction of all outstanding indebtedness under the Kreos Convertible Note and other related payments, including prepayment costs and end of loan payments and Kreos agreed to terminate the Kreos Convertible Note. The Company repaid Kreos the $3.6 million by issuing to Kreos 192,000 units and 288,000 pre-funded units at the applicable public offering prices for an aggregate price of $3.6 million (including the aggregate exercise price for the ordinary shares to be received upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants, assuming Kreos exercises all of the pre-funded warrants it purchased as part of the Company’s public offering). The Company and Kreos also agreed to revise the principal and the repayment schedule under the Kreos Loan Agreement. The revised repayment schedule, effectively deferred an additional $1.1 million of payments that were due in 2018 and $2.8 million that were due in 2019 under the loan’s prior repayment schedule, for total deferred payments of $3.9 million compared to the prior repayment schedule. Additionally, Kreos and the Company entered into the Kreos Warrant Amendment, which amended the exercise price of the warrant to purchase 6,679 ordinary shares currently held by Kreos from $241 to $7.5. The Second Amendment also made certain changes to the prepayment premiums under the Kreos Loan Agreement, tying them to the date of the Second Amendment.

On June 5, 2019 and June 6, 2019, the Company entered into warrant exercise agreements with certain institutional investors of warrants to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares, pursuant to which, Kreos agreed to exercise in cash their November 2018 warrants at the existing exercise price of $7.50 per share. Under the exercise agreements, the Company also agreed to issue to Kreos new warrants to purchase up to 480,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $7.50 per share and exercise period of five years.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal amount under the Kreos Loan Agreement was $7.4 million. Depending on our liquidity needs, we may seek to refinance up to a substantial portion of our indebtedness under our Kreos Loan Agreement, which we have considered with Kreos from time to time, including by exchanging our indebtedness with Kreos for new convertible debt from a third-party investor, or to borrow additional funds.

 

Equity Raises 

 

Form S-3 Limitations

 

Since we filed our Form 10-K on February 17, 2017, we have been subject to limitations under the applicable rules of Form S-3, which constrain our ability to secure capital pursuant to our ATM Offering Program or other public offerings pursuant to our effective Form S-3. These rules limit the size of primary securities offerings conducted by issuers with a public float of less than $75 million to no more than one-third of their public float in any 12-month period. Pursuant to these rules, as of November 13, 2019, we may not sell in primary offerings under our Form S-3 more than approximately $8.0 million in any 12-month period, unless and until we are no longer subject to these limitations. We will cease to be subject to these limitations once our public float exceeds $75 million. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have sold approximately $13.7 million in securities under our Form S-3 during the last 12 months, when we were subject to these restrictions and therefore, we currently cannot sell securities under our Form S-3. We will also recalculate the amount of this limitation if or when we conduct another takedown under Form S-3. Additionally, these limitations do not apply to secondary offerings for the resale of our ordinary shares or other securities by selling shareholders or to the issuance of ordinary shares upon conversion by holders of convertible securities, such as warrants. Our Form S-3 expires on May 23, 2022. With respect to our ATM Offering Program, because we have sold $15.7 million in the program since its inception, we could only raise up to a remaining $9.3 million using the program, subject to the $8.0 million limitation on use of Form S-3.

 

Because of these limitations to raise capital in securities offerings above the limitation applicable to us for sales under Form S-3 and our ongoing liquidity needs, we may be required to seek and are currently actively exploring other methods of completing primary offerings, including, a registration statement on Form S-1 (which has no such size limitations), the preparation of is be more time-consuming and costly, including due to potential SEC review. We may also conduct such offerings in the form of private placements, potentially with registration rights or priced at a discount to the market value of our ordinary shares, which could require shareholder approval under the rules of the NASDAQ. Any such transactions, including the perception that we will conduct a transaction, could result in substantial dilution of shareholders’ interests.

 

Initial Public Offering and Follow-on Offerings

 

Our initial public offering in September 2014 generated $36.3 million in net proceeds. Additionally, on May 9, 2016, the SEC declared effective our Form S-3, pursuant to which we registered up to $100 million of ordinary shares, warrants and/or debt securities and up to 175,525 ordinary shares offered by selling shareholders named therein. On May 10, 2016, we entered into our Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million through Piper Jaffray acting as our agent. The ordinary shares issued under the Equity Distribution Agreement may be registered under the Securities Act using a registration statement on Form S-3.

 

Additionally, on November 1, 2016, we closed our follow-on public offering of 130,000 units, each consisting of one ordinary share and 0.75 of a warrant to purchase one ordinary share. The ordinary shares and the warrants underlying the units and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are registered under the Securities Act on our Form S-3. The warrants became exercisable during the period commencing from the date of original issuance and ending on November 1, 2021, the expiration date of the warrants, at an initial exercise price of $118.75 per ordinary share. Our net aggregate proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses, were $11.1 million. We also granted Oppenheimer & Co. (“Oppenheimer”), as underwriter under the underwriting agreement, an option to purchase up to 19,500 additional units at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, for 30 days after October 27, 2016, which Oppenheimer did not exercise.

 

On November 21, 2017, we closed the base portion of our follow-on offering of 274,280 ordinary shares. Each ordinary share was sold to the public at a price of $26.25. On November 22, 2017, National Securities Corporation, as underwriter, exercised in full its option to purchase 41,142 additional ordinary shares at the public offering price of $26.25 per unit, less the underwriting discount. The Company’s net aggregate proceeds of the base offering and over-allotment exercise, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, were $7.2 million.

 

On November 20, 2018, the Company completed its follow-on public offering in which the Company issued and sold 728,019 units, each consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share. Each unit was sold to the public at a price of $7.5 per unit, additionally the Company issued and sold 1,050,373 pre-funded units, each unit was sold to the public at a price of $7.25 per unit. Each unit containing one pre-funded warrant with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share. The total gross proceeds received from the follow-on public offering, before deducting commissions, discounts and expenses, were $13.1 million (including proceeds from the exercise of 90,691 pre-funded warrants at the closing of the offering). As of December 31, 2018, additional pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate 562,466 ordinary shares had been exercised, for additional proceeds of $140,617. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 additional pre-funded warrants and warrants to purchase an aggregate 2,048,752 ordinary shares had been exercised, for additional proceeds of $12.4 million. As compensation for their role in the offering, the Company also issued to the underwriters warrants to purchase up to 106,680 ordinary shares, which are immediately exercisable starting on November 20, 2018 until November 15, 2023 at $9.375 per share. See Note 8b (2) above for more information about the Company’s follow-on public offering.

Wainwright in connection with a registered direct offering of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.25 per share and a concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase ordinary shares. The ordinary shares were offered pursuant to our Form S-3. The Company signed a purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for the issuance and sale of 816,914 ordinary shares at $5.2025 per ordinary share and warrants to purchase up to 408,457 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $5.14. The warrants issued to these purchasers will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending five and one-half years from the date of issuance, at an exercise price of $5.14. The Company also issued to H.C. Wainwright and/or its designees warrants to purchase up to 49,015 ordinary shares. The warrants issued to H.C. Wainwright will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending five years from the date of the execution of the Purchase Agreement, at a price per share equal to $6.503125.

Additionally, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 87,880 ordinary shares, with an exercise price of $9.375 per share, exercisable from June 5, 2019 until June 5, 2024, to certain representatives of H.C. Wainwright as compensation for its role as the placement agent in our June 2019 warrant exercise agreement and concurrent private placement of warrants.

 

On June 12, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for the issuance and sale of 833,334 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.25 per share at $6.00 per ordinary share and warrants to purchase up to 416,667 ordinary shares with an exercise price of $6.00 per share, exercisable from June 12, 2019 until December 12, 2024, in a private placement that took place concurrently with our registered direct offering of ordinary shares in June 2019. Additionally, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 50,000 ordinary shares, with an exercise price of $7.50 per share, exercisable from June 12, 2019 until June 10, 2024, to certain representatives of H.C. Wainwright as compensation for its role as the placement agent in our June 2019 registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of warrants.

 

ATM Offering Program

 

On May 10, 2016, we entered into our Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million through Piper Jaffray acting as our agent. The $8.0 million cap on sales under our Form S-3 also applies to this ATM Offering Program. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, Piper Jaffray will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the ordinary shares requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. Piper Jaffray may also act as principal in the sale of ordinary shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Such sales may be made under our Form S-3 in what may be deemed “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market, to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions.

 

Piper Jaffray is entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold through it as agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Where Piper Jaffray acts as principal in the sale of ordinary shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement, such rate of compensation will not apply, but in no event will the total compensation of Piper Jaffray, when combined with the reimbursement of Piper Jaffray for the out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, exceed 8.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the ordinary shares.

We may instruct Piper Jaffray not to sell ordinary shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any instruction. We or Piper Jaffray may suspend an offering of ordinary shares under the ATM Offering Program upon proper notice and subject to other conditions, as further described in the Equity Distribution Agreement. Additionally, the ATM Offering Program will terminate on the earlies of (i) the sale of all ordinary shares subject to the Equity Distribution Agreement, (ii) the date that is three years after a new registration statement on Form S-3 goes effective, (iii) our becoming ineligible to use Form S-3 and (iv) termination by the parties. The Equity Distribution Agreement may be terminated by Piper Jaffray or us at any time on the close of business on the date of receipt of written notice, and by Piper Jaffray at any time in certain circumstances, including any suspension or limitation on the trading of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as further described in the Equity Distribution Agreement. We temporarily suspended use of the ATM Offering Program on February 20, 2019 to facilitate our February 2019 “best efforts” public offering. As of September 30, 2019, we had sold 302,092 ordinary shares under the ATM Offering Program for net proceeds to us of $14.5 million (after commissions, fees and expenses). Additionally, as of that date, we had paid Piper Jaffray compensation of $471 thousand and had incurred total expenses (including such commissions) of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the ATM Offering Program.

 

Subject to the limitations under Form S-3 due to our public float, we intend to continue using the at-the-market offering or similar continuous offering programs opportunistically to raise additional funds.

 

Timwell Private Placement

 

On March 6, 2018, we entered into an investment agreement with Timwell Corporation Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Timwell”), as amended on May 15, 2018 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed, in return for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $20 million, to issue to Timwell an aggregate of 640,000 of our ordinary shares, at a price per share of $1.25. The Investment Agreement contemplates issuances in three tranches, including $5 million for 160,000 shares in the first tranche, $10 million for 320,000 shares in the second tranche and $5 million for 160,000 shares in the third tranche.

 

The First Tranche, consisting of $5 million for 160,000 shares, closed on May 15, 2018. The net aggregate proceeds after deducting commissions, fees and offering expenses in the amount of approximately $705 thousand were approximately $4.3 million.

 

The closings of the Second Tranche and Third Tranche are subject to specified closing conditions, including the formation of a joint venture, the signing of a license agreement and a supply agreement and the successful production of certain ReWalk products, among others, with the Third Tranche Closing expected to occur by December 31, 2018 and no later than April 1, 2019. In light of the positions taken by Timwell during the negotiations on definitive joint venture and license agreements, we no longer believe that agreement can be reached on the basis of the original understandings reflected in our Investment Agreement with Timwell. Although we generally remain in dialogue with RealCan, Timwell’s affiliate, on alternative pathways that will allow us to commercialize our products in China through RealCan and its affiliates, and also provide for RealCan or an affiliate to invest in us. Due to the current lack of communication, various delays in the process and other barriers to closing, there is a significant risk that we will not reach agreement with RealCan on a modification of the original agreement. As we continue to view China as a market with key opportunities for products designed for stroke patients, we continue to evaluate potential relationships with other groups to penetrate the Chinese market.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to reduction in the operating costs offset with changes in working capital.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $2.8 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the proceeds we received from equity raise activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which were higher than the proceeds we received equity raise activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as well as decrease in the loan repayments.

 

Obligations and Commercial Commitments

(1) The Company depends on one contract manufacturer, Sanmina, for both the ReStore products and the SCI Products. We place our manufacturing orders with Sanmina pursuant to purchase orders or by providing forecasts for future requirements. Additionally, we have purchase obligations to our raw material vendors related to the ReStore production, which began in the second quarter of 2019 following regulatory clearance.

 

(2) As of September 30, 2019, our Collaboration Agreement is for a period of five years and requires us to pay in quarterly installments for the funding of our joint research collaboration with Harvard, subject to a minimum funding commitment under applicable circumstances. Our License Agreement consists of patent reimbursement expenses payments and of license upfront fee payment. There are also several milestone payments contingent upon the achievement of certain product development and commercialization milestones and royalty payments on net sales from certain patents licensed to Harvard. These product development and commercialization milestones depend on favorable clinical developments, sales and regulatory actions, some or all of which may not occur. These milestone payments are included in this “Contractual Obligations” table and recorded on our consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. For more information, see Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Part I, Item 1” of this quarterly report.

 

(3) Our operating leases consist of leases for our facilities and motor vehicles.

 

(4) Our long-term debt obligations consist of payments of principal and interest under our Loan Agreement with Kreos. For more information, see “-Liquidity and Capital Resources -Loan Agreement with Kreos and Related Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares” above.

 

We calculated the payments due under our operating lease obligation for our Israeli office that are to be paid in NIS at a rate of exchange of NIS 3.482:$1.00, and the payments due under our operating lease obligation for our German subsidiary that are to be paid in euros at a rate of exchange of 1.0928 euro:$1:00, both of which were the applicable exchange rates as of September 30, 2019. We calculated the payments due under our Loan Agreement with Kreos according to the current schedule of repayment of principal and interest.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of third-party obligations as of September 30, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

There have been no material changes to our market risk during the second quarter of 2019. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, please see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our 2018 Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There have been no material changes to our legal proceedings as described in “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of our 2018 Form 10-K except as described in Note 5 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Part I, Item 1” of this quarterly report.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2018 Form 10-K except as noted below:

 

Risks Related to an Investment in our Ordinary Shares

 

We may not have sufficient funds to meet certain future capital requirements, which could impair our efforts to develop and commercialize existing and new products, and may need to take advantage of various forms of capital-raising transactions, future equity financings, strategic transactions or borrowings may also further dilute our shareholders or place us under restrictive covenants limiting our ability to operate.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit in the total amount of approximately $165 million, and anticipate further losses in the development of our business. Those factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and timely repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations. 

 

We intend to finance operating costs over the next 12 months with existing cash on hand, issuances of equity and/or debt securities, other future public or private issuances of securities, or through a combination of the foregoing. Although we have raised in the aggregate approximately $24.4 million through equity transactions completed in February 2019, April 2019 and June 2019, we will also need to seek additional sources of financing if we require more funds than anticipated during the next 12 months or in later periods, including if we cannot make our loan repayments under our loan agreement with Kreos Capital V (Expert Fund) Limited, or Kreos, or if we cannot raise sufficient funds from equity issuances. Due to limitations on use of our Form S-3 and under our ATM Offering Program with Piper Jaffray & Co., and our inability to rely on our Investment Agreement with Timwell as an ongoing source of liquidity, some of these alternative capital-raising transactions may entail significant downsides. Pursuant to limitations under the rules of Form S-3, as of November 13, 2019, we may only sell up to approximately $8.0 million in primary offerings under an effective registration statement on Form S-3 during any 12-month period while we remain subject to these limitations (which amount will be recalculated upon each takedown under the effective Form S-3 registration statement), and, as of November 13, 2019, we had already sold $13.6 million in securities under the Form S-3 during the past 12 months. Thus, we are not able to use Form S-3 until this limitation on our capacity exceeds the value of securities sold in the prior 12 months. Under our ATM Offering Program, once our Form S-3 capacity re-opens, we may only raise up to a remaining $9.3 million using the program, subject any cap on Form S-3 use during any rolling 12-month period. For more information, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Equity Raises” of our 2018 Form 10-K and “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Equity Raises” of this Quarterly Report.

To raise additional capital in the public markets, including taking into account the limitation above, we will likely be required to seek and are currently actively seeking other methods, such as an additional offerings on registration statements on Form S-1. The preparation of a registration statement on Form S-1 is more time-consuming and costly, including due to potential SEC review. We may also conduct fundraising transactions in the form of private placements, potentially with registration rights or priced at a discount to the market value of our ordinary shares, which could require shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq, or other equity raise transactions such as equity lines of credit. In addition to entailing increased capital costs, any such transactions could result in substantial dilution of our shareholders’ interests, transfer control to a new investor and diminish the value of an investment in our ordinary shares.

 

We may also need to pursue strategic transactions, such as joint ventures, in-licensing transactions or the sale of our business or all or substantially all of our assets. These private financings and strategic transactions have in the past and could in the future require significant management attention, disrupt our business, adversely affect our financial results, be unsuccessful or fail to achieve the desired results. We are in discussions routinely with such possible sources of additional funding. As another alternative, we may seek to refinance up to a substantial portion of our indebtedness under our Kreos Loan Agreement, which we have considered with Kreos from time to time, including by exchanging our indebtedness with Kreos for new convertible debt from a third-party investor, or to borrow additional funds. Agreements governing any borrowing arrangement may contain covenants that could restrict our operations.

 

We previously considered our Investment Agreement with Timwell, under which there are remaining closings of 480,000 ordinary shares in exchange for gross proceeds of $15.0 million, as a potential ongoing source of liquidity. However, in light of the positions taken by Timwell during the negotiations on definitive joint venture and license agreements, we no longer believe that an agreement can be reached on the basis of the original understandings reflected in our Investment Agreement with Timwell. Due to the current lack of communication, various delays in the process and other barriers to closing there is a significant risk that we will not reach agreement with RealCan Ambrum Healthcare Industry Investment (Shenzhen) Partnership Enterprise (Limited Partnership), on a modification of the original agreement. For more information, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources- Timwell Private Placement” of our 2018 Form 10-K.

 

Overall, if we cannot raise the required funds, or cannot raise them on terms acceptable to us or investors, we may be forced to curtail substantially our current operations or cease operations altogether. Further, external perceptions regarding our ability to continue as a going concern may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations or require us to obtain financing on terms that are more favorable to investors, and could result in the loss of confidence by investors and suppliers. As such, our failure to continue as a going concern could harm our business, operating results and financial position and severely affect the value of your investment.

 

39

 

 

Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares by us or our large shareholders, certain of whom may have registration rights, or dilutive exercises of a substantial number of warrants by our warrant-holders could adversely affect the value of our ordinary shares.

 

Sales by us or our shareholders of a substantial number of ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the value of our ordinary shares to decline or could impair our ability to raise capital through a future sale of our equity securities. Additionally, dilutive exercises of a substantial number of warrants by our warrant-holders, or the perception that such exercises may occur, could put downward price on the market price of our ordinary shares. 

 

As of September 30, 2019, 2,853,299 ordinary shares were issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants, with exercise prices ranging from $5.14 to $118.75 per warrant, issued in private and registered offerings of ordinary shares and warrants in November 2016, November 2018, February 2019, April 2019 and June 2019. There were also 6,679 ordinary shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants granted to Kreos in connection with the Loan Agreement in January and December 2016, with an exercise price that is now set to $7.5 per warrant. For more information, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Loan Agreement with Kreos and Related Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares” and “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Equity Raises.” 

 

Additionally, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Rights Agreement, dated July 14, 2014, with certain of our shareholders, as of September 30, 2019, the beneficial owners of approximately 117,576 of our ordinary shares, including entities and individuals associated with SCP Vitalife Partners II, L.P., or Vitalife and Yaskawa, were entitled to require that we register their shares under the Securities Act for resale into the public markets. We have also entered into a registration rights agreement with Timwell to register under the Securities Act its privately-placed ordinary shares, 160,000 of which are currently outstanding. All 277,576 currently outstanding shares are registered on our Form S-3. For more information regarding the status of the Timwell transaction, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Timwell Private Placement.” Additionally, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to register the 1,464,665 warrants that were issued in connection with the June 2019 warrants exercise transaction.

 

All shares sold pursuant to an offering covered by a registration statement would be freely transferable. With respect to the outstanding warrants, there may be certain restrictions on the holders to sell the underlying ordinary shares to the extent they are restricted securities, held by “affiliates” or would exceed certain ownership thresholds. Certain of our largest shareholders, may also have limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act on the resale of certain ordinary shares they hold unless they are registered for resale under the Securities Act. Despite these limitations, if we, our existing shareholders or their affiliates sell a substantial number of the above-mentioned ordinary shares in the public market, the market price of our ordinary shares could decrease significantly. Shareholders may also incur substantial dilution if holders of our warrants exercise their warrants to purchase ordinary shares, which could lower the market price of our ordinary shares. Any such decrease could impair the value of your investment in us.

 

While we have regained compliance with the quantitative continued listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market going forward, which could adversely affect our liquidity and the trading volume and market price of our ordinary shares.

 

As previously disclosed, on October 26, 2018, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq stating that, under Nasdaq Rule 5550(b), or Rule 5550(b), we failed to comply with the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of October 26, 2018 and did not meet the rule’s alternative $2.5 million shareholders’ equity and $500,000 net income standards as of applicable balance sheet and income statement dates. On February 25, 2019, we completed a follow-on public offering of ordinary shares, and on April 5, 2019, we completed a registered direct offering of ordinary shares and a concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase ordinary shares. As a result of these transactions, Nasdaq informed us on April 25, 2019 that we had regained compliance with Rule 5550(b) regarding the $2.5 million shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing.

 

Although we have regained compliance with Rule 5550(b), with shareholders’ equity of approximately $14.1 million as of September 30, 2019, Nasdaq will continue to monitor our ongoing compliance with the shareholders’ equity requirement. If our quarterly or annual report for a subsequent fiscal period does not evidence such compliance, we may become immediately subject to delisting without a cure period. We would be permitted to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and our ordinary shares would remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending the panel’s decision after the hearing. If we do not appeal the delisting determination or do not succeed in such an appeal, our ordinary shares would be removed from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. 

 

40

 

 

As explained in our compliance plan submitted to Nasdaq, in an effort to maintain compliance with Rule 5550(b) throughout the remainder of 2019, we intend to maintain lower expenses and sufficient cash balances, using the cash we raised in public and private placements of our securities in the second quarter of 2019. However, if we cannot maintain the requisite cash levels for a compliant amount of shareholders’ equity, our ordinary shares may be at serious risk of immediate delisting. Any delisting determination could seriously decrease or eliminate the value of an investment in our ordinary shares and other securities linked to our ordinary shares. While an alternative listing on an over-the-counter exchange could maintain some degree of a market in our ordinary shares, we could face substantial material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, the following: limited availability for market quotations for our ordinary shares; reduced liquidity with respect to our ordinary shares; a determination that our ordinary shares are “penny stock” under SEC rules, subjecting brokers trading our ordinary shares to more stringent rules on disclosure and the class of investors to which the broker may sell the ordinary shares; limited news and analyst coverage, in part due to the “penny stock” rules; decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and potential breaches under or terminations of our agreements with current or prospective large shareholders, strategic investors and banks. The perception among investors that we are at heightened risk of delisting could also negatively affect the market price of our securities and trading volume of our ordinary shares.

 

We recently amended our articles of association to increase our authorized share capital. There are certain risks associated with this increase.

 

In late March 2019, following the receipt of shareholder approval, we filed the Third Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company with the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel to increase the Company’s authorized share capital after the effect of the reverse share split (as well as to reflect the reverse share split itself). As a result of the amendment, the total number of ordinary shares the Company is authorized to issue changed from 250,000,000 shares to 60,000,000 shares and the authorized share capital of the Company changed from NIS 2,500,000 to NIS 15,000,000 (representing proportional increases after giving effect to the reverse share split that was effected on April 1, 2019). The objective of the increase in authorized share capital was to maintain our flexibility following the reverse share split to conduct future issuances of our ordinary shares, in the ordinary course from time to time, to fund our operations, consistent with our historical practice of raising financing through equity and debt issuances.

 

Although the purpose of the increase in authorized share capital was to preserve our capital-raising position, these additional shares may also be issued in the future for other purposes, such as compensation, giving rise to further opportunities for dilution. Future issuances of ordinary shares will dilute the voting power and ownership of our existing shareholders, and, depending on the amount of consideration received in connection with the issuance, could also reduce shareholders’ equity on a per-share basis. Due to the increase in authorized capital, the dilution to the ownership interest of our existing shareholders may be greater than would occur had the increase not been effected.

 

The newly-available authorized shares resulting from the reverse share split may have the potential to limit the opportunity for our shareholders to dispose of their ordinary shares at a premium. We currently do not have any acquisitions or other major transactions planned that would require us to increase our authorized share capital, and our board does not intend to use the increase of the newly-authorized reserve as an anti-takeover device. However, the authorized shares could, in theory, also be used to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the share ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the board or management of the Company or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company).

A decline in our market capitalization could result in our being characterized as a passive foreign investment company, which would cause adverse tax consequences for U.S. investors. 

 

Generally, if for any taxable year 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the average quarterly value of our assets (which may be determined in part by the market value of our ordinary shares, which is subject to change) are held for the production of, or produce, passive income, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, certain dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions and from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Passive income also includes amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds, including those raised in an offering. In determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account. Based on our gross income and assets, the market price of our ordinary shares, and the nature of our business, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2018. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for 2019 or any taxable year. PFIC status is determined as of the end of the taxable year and depends on a number of factors, including the value of a corporation’s assets and the amount and type of its gross income. Further, because the value of our gross assets is likely to be determined in large part by reference to our market capitalization, there is a significant risk that a decline in our market capitalization (including taking into account the decreased total number of shares outstanding and the market price per share after our recently-effected reverse share split) could result in our becoming a PFIC.  

 

If we are characterized as a PFIC, certain U.S. holders may suffer adverse tax consequences, including the following: (i) having gains realized on the sale of our securities treated as ordinary income, rather than as capital gains; (ii) losing the preferential rate applicable to dividends received on our ordinary shares by individuals who are U.S. Holders; and (iii) having additional taxes equal to the interest charges generally applicable to underpayments of tax apply to distributions by us and the proceeds of sales of our ordinary shares issued in this offering and other offerings. Certain elections exist that may alleviate some of the adverse consequences of PFIC status and would result in an alternative treatment (such as mark-to-market treatment). However, we do not intend to provide the information necessary for these U.S. holders to make qualified electing fund elections if we are classified as a PFIC.

  

Risks Related to Government Regulation

 

We have submitted medical device reports, or MDRs, to the FDA (and equivalent authorities outside of the United States) for numerous serious injuries relating to use of the ReWalk Personal system, and have initiated a voluntary correction related to certain use instructions in the device’s labeling, which the FDA classified as a Class II recall. If our product may have caused or contributed to a death or a serious injury, or if our product malfunctioned and the malfunction’s recurrence would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, we must comply with the FDA’s MDR regulations (and equivalent authorities outside of the United States), which could result in voluntary corrective actions or enforcement actions, such as mandatory recalls.

 

Under the FDA’s MDR regulations, we are required to report to the FDA information that reasonably suggests a product we market may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned and our product or a similar device marketed by us would be likely to cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. In addition, all manufacturers placing medical devices on the market in the European Union are legally bound to report any serious or potentially serious incidents involving devices they produce or sell to the relevant authority in whose jurisdiction the incident occurred. Between 2013 and 2017, we submitted a number of MDRs to the FDA to report incidents in which ReWalk Personal users sustained falls or fractures. The FDA sent us letters requesting additional information relating to these MDRs submitted in 2017, including a request for a failure analysis. In August 2017, we initiated a voluntary correction for the ReWalk device that related to certain use instructions to reduce the risk of fractures and submitted a report to the FDA under 21 CFR Part 806. Under Part 806, manufacturers and importers are required to make a report to the FDA of any correction or removal of a device if the correction or removal was initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act caused by the device that may present a risk to health. In 2018, we submitted additional MDRs for fractures that occurred in foreign countries between 2015 and 2018. In addition, in 2018 and 2019, we submitted MDRs for fractures that occurred in the United States and Europe.

 

In June 2018, we received a letter from the FDA agreeing with our decision to initiate a corrective action for the ReWalk, classifying the recall action as a Class II recall, and requesting that we make regular status reports to the FDA regarding our progress. While the FDA has statutory authority to require a recall, most recalls are undertaken voluntarily when a medical device is defective, when it could present a risk to health, or when it is both defective and presents a risk to health. In January 2019, we submitted a recall termination request to the FDA. On November 2019 the FDA concluded that the recall request is terminated. In September 2018, we submitted to the FDA revised labeling that incorporates the revised use instructions intended to prevent fractures as a special 510(k). The special 510(k) was not accepted by FDA because it was administratively incomplete, and we withdrew the submission. We are currently finalizing additional changes to the ReWalk device, and plan to submit a new 510(k) to the FDA for both the revised labeling/use instructions and such additional changes to the device by the end of 2019. In September 2019, we also submitted a revised technical file with the additional device changes to the EU notified body. 

 

Additional fractures or other adverse events may occur in the future that may require us to report to the FDA pursuant to the MDR regulations (or other governmental authorities pursuant to equivalent outside of the United States regulations), and/or to initiate a removal, correction, or other action. Any adverse event involving our products could result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as recalls or customer letters, or in an FDA enforcement action, such as a mandatory recall, notification to healthcare professionals and users, warning letter, seizure, injunction, or import alert. In addition, failure to report such adverse events to appropriate government authorities on a timely basis, or at all, could result in enforcement action against us. Any action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending ourselves in a lawsuit, will require financial resources and distract management, and may harm our reputation and financial results.

Our devices are subject to the FDA’s regulations pertaining to marketing and promotional communications, among others. Failure to comply with such regulations may give rise to a number of potential FDA enforcement actions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our sales and marketing efforts, as well as promotions, are subject to various laws and regulations. Medical device promotions must be consistent with and not contrary to labeling, be truthful and not false or misleading, and be adequately substantiated. In addition to the requirements applicable to 510(k)-cleared products, we may also be subject to enforcement action in connection with any promotion of an investigational new device. A sponsor or investigator, or any person acting on behalf of a sponsor or investigator, may not represent in a promotional context that an investigational new device is safe or effective for the purposes for which it is under investigation or otherwise promote the device.

 

Our marketing and promotional materials are subject to FDA scrutiny to ensure that the device is being marketed in compliance with these requirements. If the FDA investigates our marketing and promotional materials and finds that any of our current or future commercial products were being marketed for unapproved or uncleared uses or in a false or misleading manner, we could be subject to FDA enforcement and/or false advertising consumer lawsuits, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.   

 

While we addressed the observations that the FDA cited in a 2015 warning letter related to our mandatory post-market surveillance study and initiated the study, we are currently experiencing enrollment issues that make our study progress inadequate. Going forward, if we cannot meet certain FDA requirements and enrollment criteria for the study or otherwise satisfy FDA requests promptly, or if our study produces unfavorable results, we could be subject to additional FDA warnings letters or more significant enforcement action, which could materially and adversely affect our commercial success.

 

We are conducting an ongoing mandatory FDA postmarket surveillance study on our ReWalk Personal 6.0, which began in June 2016. Before we began the current study, the FDA sent us a warning letter on September 30, 2015, (“the September 2015 Warning Letter”), threatening potential regulatory action against us for violations of Section 522 of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, based on our failure to initiate a postmarket surveillance study by the September 28, 2015 deadline, our allegedly deficient protocol for that study, and the lack of progress and communication regarding the study. Between June 2014 and our receipt of the September 2015 Warning Letter, we had responded late to certain of the FDA’s requests related to our study protocol. In February 2016, the FDA sent us an additional information request, or the February 2016 Letter, requesting additional changes to our study protocol and asking that we amend the study within 30 days. This letter also discussed the FDA’s request, as further discussed in later communications with the FDA, for a new premarket notification for our ReWalk device, or a special 510(k), linked to what the FDA viewed as changes to the labeling and the device, including to a computer included with the device. In late March 2016, following multiple discussions with the FDA, including an in-person meeting, the FDA confirmed that the agency would permit the continued marketing of the ReWalk device conditioned upon our timely submitting a special 510(k) and initiating our postmarket surveillance study by June 1, 2016. The special 510(k) was timely submitted on April 8, 2016, and the FDA’s substantial equivalence determination was received by us on July 22, 2016, granting us permission to continue marketing the ReWalk device. Additionally, we submitted a protocol to the FDA for the postmarket surveillance study that was approved by the FDA on May 5, 2016.

 

We began the study on June 13, 2016, with Stanford University as the lead investigational site. In August 2016, the FDA sent us a letter stating that, based on its evaluation of our corrective and preventive actions in response to the September 2015 Warning Letter, it appeared we had adequately addressed the violations cited in the September 2015 Warning Letter. As part of our study, we have provided the FDA with the required periodic reports on the study’s progress, in a few cases with delay, and we intend to continue providing the FDA with periodic reports as required. Through these reports, we have made the FDA aware that due to enrollment issues, we are currently unable to satisfy the target enrollment specified in the study protocol.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had four active centers participating in the study (a fifth site is on hold), but only two sites have successfully enrolled patients. Twelve subjects have enrolled in the study, two have completed the study, and three are using the device in the community. This is substantially below the required number of patients included in our study protocol, currently leading the FDA to label our progress as “inadequate.” We are in ongoing communications with the FDA regarding how to address the inadequate progress. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy the postmarket study requirements. If we cannot meet FDA requirements for the postmarket study or timely address requests from the FDA related to the study, or if the results of the study are not as favorable as we expect, the FDA may issue additional warning letters to us, impose limitations on the labeling of our device or require us to stop marketing the ReWalk Personal device in the United States. We derived 37.4% of our revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from sales of the ReWalk device in the United States and, if we are unable to market the ReWalk device in the United States, we expect that these sales would be adversely impacted, which could materially adversely affect our business and overall results of operations.
