Report of Independent Auditors

To the management and Board of Directors of CartiHeal (2009) Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CartiHeal (2009) Ltd. and its subsidiary (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 1e to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has devoted most of its efforts to research and development and has not generated any revenues. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future and therefore, the Company depends on external financing, deriving significant income from its operations or ongoing support from Bioventus. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans to mitigate these matters are also described in Note 1e. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
•Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

CARTIHEAL (2009) LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - GENERAL:
a.CartiHeal (2009) Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated and commenced its operations in Israel, in June 2009. The Company is developing, manufacturing and bringing to market a novel and comprehensive implant for repair of articular cartilage and osteochondral defects. The Company submitted the clinical file to the FDA on September 20, 2021 and received FDA Approval by March 2022, see also Note 13a.
The Company's registered address is 17 Atirei Yeda St, Kfar- Saba, Israel.
b.On October 30, 2017, the Company established CartiHeal Inc., a wholly owned, US subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is engaged to provide research and development services to the Company.
c.In July 2020, as part of the Series G SPA, the Company and its shareholders have entered into an option agreement to sell 100% of the Company's share capital to Bioventus Inc, ("Bioventus"), see also Note 8e.

d.Following the FDA Approval, in April 2022, Bioventus announced that it has exercised its call option to acquire the Company's shares.

The Acquisition was completed on July 12, 2022, as Bioventus exercised its Call option to acquire 100% of the Company's shares from the Company's shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $315 million and an additional $135 million becoming payable after closing upon achievement of certain sales milestones, net of Bioventus shares. See Note 13b.

e.Since its inception, the Company has devoted most of its efforts to research and development and has not generated any revenues. The Company has incurred recurring losses since inception, including net losses of $ 10,185 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021, and recurring negative cash flow from operating activities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's accumulated deficit totaled to $ 67,655 thousand. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. Since inception, the Company has funded its operations with incubator loans and several capital raising rounds. Therefore, the Company depends on external financing, deriving significant income from its operations or ongoing support from Bioventus.

The Company's management is of the opinion that its current liquidity resources, along with Bioventus' commitment to fund the Company, are sufficient for the Company's operation as going concern for at least twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.
f.COVID 19
The Company's management and board of directors continue to monitor the evolving situation of COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus, which could directly or indirectly impact the Company's operations. As of the date of these financial statements, COVID-19 had no significant impact on the Company, its prospects or its research and development and strategic plans and the Company has not suffered significant delays in its research and development activity because of the pandemic. The Company's management and board of directors are continuing to carefully evaluate the impact on the Company's operations. All estimates made by the Company related to the impact of COVID-19 in its financial statements may change in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g.Approval of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, were approved by the Board of Directors (the "Board") on September 27, 2022 and signed on its behalf by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

CARTIHEAL (2009) LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
a.Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies.
Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.
The actual results may differ significantly from estimates and assumptions used by the Company's management.
b.Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
c.Foreign currency transaction:
1)Functional and Presentation Currency
The U.S. dollar ("dollar", "USD" or "$") is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiary operates. Accordingly, the functional and presentation currency of the Company in these financial statements is the USD.
2)Transactions and Balances
Transactions in a currency other than the Functional Currency (hereinafter, "Foreign Currency") are translated into the functional currency using the current exchange rates on the transaction dates. Exchange rate differences arising from the settlement of such transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency using the current exchange rates at the end of the year are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income.
Any profits or losses arising from changes in exchange rates for cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statements of comprehensive loss within finance income, net.
d.Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition.
e.Short-term bank deposits
Short-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of more than three months and up to one year. The short-term bank deposits are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest at annual rates that range between 0.26% and 2.85%. Short-term bank deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest.
f.Restricted bank deposits
Restricted cash is presented at cost and primarily invested in highly liquid deposits, which mature within one year. These deposits are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars and used as security for credit cards and rent premises.
8
CARTIHEAL (2009) LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
Restricted bank deposits with original maturity dates of more than one year are included in restricted bank deposits within non-current assets. Long-term bank deposits are denominated in NIS and bear interest at annual rates that range between 0.2% and 1.8%. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a lien on the Company's bank deposits in respect of bank guarantees granted and in order to secure the lease agreements. The fair value of bank deposits approximates the carrying value since they bear interest at rates close to the prevailing market rates.
g.Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. These payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
h.Pre-launched inventory
Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes purchase costs, costs of conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to the present location and condition.
Materials acquired for pre launched inventory prior to final regulatory approval (such as FDA) is written down to zero (to its expected net realizable value). The write down is recorded within the research and development expenses.
Upon final regulatory approval the write down provision is reversed.
For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $249 thousand and $393 thousand, respectively, of pre-launch inventory costs have been recorded within research and development expenses in relation to the provision against the carrying value of pre-launch inventory. On March 30, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was granted Premarket Approval (PMA) for its Agili-C implant (the FDA Approval) and therefore demonstrated the probability of technological feasibility of Agili-C implant. Consequently, on this date, the Company begins to capitalize the inventory costs associated with Agili-C implant and the provision of $642 thousand recognized prior to obtaining FDA approval was reversed within the research and development expenses.
i.Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expenses are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets at the following annual rates:
%
Office furniture and equipment 7-15
Lab equipment 15
Computers and software 33
Leasehold improvements See below
Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the improvements.
j.Impairment for long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable.

9
CARTIHEAL (2009) LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In measuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in the Company's statement of comprehensive loss.
An impairment loss of an asset is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized.
Reversal of an impairment loss, as above, shall not be increased above the lower of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years and its recoverable amount. The reversal of impairment loss of an asset presented at cost is recognized in the Company's statement of comprehensive loss.
As of December 2021 and December 2020, no impairment losses have been identified for long lives assets.
k.Liability for employee rights upon retirement
Israeli labor law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances.
Pursuant to Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Act, 1963, the Company's employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in their name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with section 14 relieve the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees
The amounts of severance payment expenses were $427 and $348 thousands for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
l.Vacation and recreation benefits
The employees are legally entitled to vacation and recreation benefits, both computed on an annual basis. This entitlement is based on the term of employment. This obligation is treated as a short-term benefit under IAS 19. The Company charges a liability and expense due to vacation and recreation pay, based on the benefits that have been accumulated for each employee, on an undiscounted basis.
The amounts of vacation and recreation payment expenses were $69 and $36 thousands for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
m.Research and development expenditures
Research expenditures are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
Development activities are activities relating to a plan for the creation of new products or processes or the significant improvement of existing products or processes.
An intangible asset arising from the Company's development activities is recognized if all of the following conditions are met:
1)it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use.
2)management intends to complete the intangible asset and use it or sell it
3)there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset.
4)it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
5)adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset are available and costs associated with the intangible asset during development can be measured reliably.

10
CARTIHEAL (2009) LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
Other development costs that do not meet the above criteria are recognized as expenses as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.
n.Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction will take place in the asset's or the liability's principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement:

Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs that are not based on observable market data (valuation techniques which use inputs that are not based on observable market data).

As of December 2021 and 2020, the carrying amounts of trade and other payables and note receivables are assumed to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
o.Share-based compensation
The Company's employees and other service providers are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity-settled share-based payment transactions. The Company accounts for these awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in statement of comprehensive loss together with a corresponding increase in equity during the period which the service conditions are to be satisfied ending on the date on which the relevant employees become entitled to the award ("the vesting period"). At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest based on the vesting conditions and recognizes the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the statement of income, with corresponding adjustment to equity.
As for other service providers, the cost of the transactions is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received as consideration for equity instruments granted. In cases where the fair value of the goods or services received as consideration of equity instruments cannot be measured, they are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
11
CARTIHEAL (2009) LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
p.Government grants
Government grants received from the Israeli Innovation Authority (the "IIA") as a participation in research and development plans, fall into the scope of "forgivable loans" as defined in IAS 20, "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance". IIA Grants are recognized in accordance with IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments" ("IFRS 9"). If on the date on which the right for the IIA Grants is established, the Company's management concludes that there is no reasonable assurance that the IIA Grants, to which entitlement has been established, will not be repaid, the Company recognizes a financial liability on that date, which is accounted for under the provisions of IFRS 9 regarding financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.
q.Provisions
A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are measured according to the estimated future cash flows discounted using a pre-tax interest rate that reflects the market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, those risks specific to the liability.
r.Taxes on income
Current or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that the tax arises from items which are recognized directly in other comprehensive income or in equity
1)Current taxes
The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years.
2) Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes.
Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that they will be utilized. Temporary differences (such as carry forward losses) for which deferred tax assets had not been recognized are reviewed at each reporting date and a respective deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that their utilization is probable.
Since the Company is unable to assess whether it will have taxable income in the foreseeable future, no deferred tax assets were recorded in these consolidated financial statements.
s.Financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
1)Financial assets
The Company accounts for financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".
Financial assets at amortized cost are assets held pursuant to a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
12
CARTIHEAL (2009) LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
Financial assets at amortized cost are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date (in which case they are classified as non-current assets).
The Company's financial assets at amortized cost are included in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of financial position.
2)Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
The Company's financial liabilities at amortized cost include: account payable and other accounts payable, lease liabilities, and Royalty bearing government grants.
t.Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard No. 16 "Leases" ("IFRS 16"). At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a fixed period of time in exchange for consideration.
At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the following lease payments: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) and variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate. Simultaneously, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset in the amount of the lease liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
The lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use an underlying asset, together with both the periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.
Interest on the lease liability is recognized in profit or loss in each period during the lease term in an amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.
After the commencement date, the Company measures the right-of-use asset applying the cost model, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
Assets are depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the lease period, whichever is shorter -

The Company tests for impairment the right-of-use asset whenever there are indications of impairment pursuant to the provisions of IAS 36.
u.Share capital
The Company's ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are presented in equity as a deduction from the issuance proceeds.

v.Adoptions of new IFRS guidance
Commencing January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 that address the issues that arise during the reform of an interest rate benchmark rate (LIBOR), including the replacement of one benchmark with an alternative one. The adoption of the said amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements

NOTE 3 - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
As part of the financial reporting process, Company management is required to make estimates that affect the value of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and certain disclosures included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. By their very nature, such estimates are subjective and complex and consequently may differ from actual results.
The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Described below are the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements, the formulation of which required Company management to make assumptions as to circumstances and events that involve significant uncertainty. In using its judgment to determine the accounting estimates, the Company takes into consideration, as appropriate, the relevant facts, past experience, the effect of external factors and reasonable assumptions under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions, for which there is a significant risk of making material adjustments to the book values of assets and liabilities during the next fiscal year, are detailed below.
Government grants
The total grants received by the Company from the Innovation Authority for which there may be an obligation to pay royalties, amounted to USD 2.9 million as of December 31, 2021. As stated in Note 2p, Company Management must examine whether there is reasonable assurance that the grants received will not need to be refunded. In accordance with management's assessment, the financial statements include liabilities in respect of grants received, which is calculated based on the Company's expected revenues. The total liabilities in respect of the grants received amount as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 to approximately USD 1.6 million for both years then ended.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are recorded in accordance with the accounting policies detailed in Note 2m. Company management has examined the conditions specified in Note 2m and in its opinion, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, it does not meet them. Therefore, as of December 31, 2021, the Company has not yet capitalized research and development expenses, and research and development expenses were charged to the Company's statement of comprehensive loss.
NOTE 4 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT:
Based on assessments by Company management, the Company's exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 2020 is immaterial. The activities of the Company expose it to market risk, primarily as a result of currency risk.
The Company's Finance Department is responsible for carrying out risk management activities in accordance with policies approved by its Board of Directors. In this regard, the Finance Department identifies, defines and assesses financial risks in close cooperation with other Company departments. The Board of Directors provides written guidelines for overall risk management, as well as written policies dealing with specific areas, such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of financial instruments and investment of excess cash.
The Company's activities are partly denominated in non-dollar currencies (primarily the New Israeli Shekel, or "NIS," and the Euro), which exposes the Company to risks resulting from changes in exchange rates.

a.Foreign exchange riskHad the Functional Currency of the Company been 5% weaker against the NIS, assuming all other variables remained constant, the Company would have recognized an additional expense of approximately $200 thousand in profit or loss for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Set forth below is certain data regarding dollar exchange rates:

2020 (7.0) % (8.5) %
2021 (3.0) % 8.3 %
b.Concentrations of credit risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are invested in major banks in Israel, management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's investments are sound and accordingly minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
c.Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management requires maintaining sufficient cash or the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity reserve (comprising of cash and cash equivalents and deposits). This is generally carried out based on the expected cash flow in accordance with practices and limits set by the management of the Company.
The tables below analyze the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):
b.Obligation to pay royalties to the State of Israel
The Company's research and development efforts have been partially financed through grants received from the Israeli Innovation Authority (the "IIA").
In return for the IIA participation, the Company is committed to pay royalties to the Israeli Government at a rate of 3% - 5% of the sales of its product, up to 100% of the amount of the grants received plus interest at LIBOR.
The Company is obligated to repay the Israeli Government for the grants received only to the extent that there are sales of the funded products. The Company evaluated the fair- value of its Royalty bearing government grants by using a discounted cash-flow of its expected revenues from such products.
These royalties are generally 3% in the first three years from initial repayment, 4% of sales in the three subsequent years and 5% of sales in the seventh year until repayment of 100% of the grants (linked to the dollar) received by the Company, plus annual interest at the LIBOR rate. Under certain circumstances, the royalty rate is calculated according to a formula based on the ratio of participation by the IIA in the project to the total project costs incurred by the Company.
