Overview


The Company's primary business activity during last few months was the completion of R&D and the transition to the production stage with respect to a contract with a Fortune 500 Multinational Healthcare Corporation, while expanding the R&D team to enable additional projects in parallel. The main effect of this activity was the increase in the number of employees to enable the Company to manage the anticipated increased workload.

Other major activities were the following:





  - expanding marketing activities, including the recruitment of a Director of
    Business Development in the US, and launching a multi-platform digital
    marketing campaign;
  - extensive activity in connection with the Company's IP, including submissions
    of new patent applications as well as maintenance, defense, and
    commercialization efforts of existing patents;
  - increased operation expenses in order to improve the current Company's R&D
    capabilities; and
  - investment in capital expenses to provide the necessary facilities, IT, and
    lab tools for our newly recruited employees and to upgrade the Company's
    production and quality control capabilities.

Revenues


For the three months ended March 31, 2021, ScoutCam generated revenues of $24,000, a decrease of $16,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The decrease in revenues was primarily due to an overall decrease in the sales of the Company's component products to occasional customers.





Cost of Revenues


Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $203,000, an increase of $73,000 compared to cost of revenues of $130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The increase in cost of revenues was due to an increase in payroll expenses as a result of hiring additional production employees and the establishment of an engineering department as part of our ongoing transition from R&D to production.





Gross Loss


Gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $179,000, an increase of $89,000 compared to gross loss of $90,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, were $333,000, an increase of $78,000, or 31%, compared to $255,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increase in materials and subcontractors. The increase was primarily due to an increase in research and development activities as described under "Overview".

Sales and Marketing Expenses


Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, were $145,000, an increase of $93,000, or 179%, compared to $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in marketing activities as described under "Overview".

General and Administrative Expenses

General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, were $933,000, a decrease of $179,000, or 16%, compared to $1,112,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in share - based compensation expenses (see note 4 to our interim condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2021), which was partially offset by an increase in payroll expenses due to the hiring of additional employees.





Operating loss


We incurred an operating loss of $1,590,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $81,000, or 5%, compared to operating loss of $1,509,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in operating loss was due to an $89,000 increase in gross loss, $78,000 increase in research and development expenses, and $93,000 increase in sales and marketing expenses, which collectively were partially offset by a $179,000 decrease in administrative and general expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated liquidity primarily from fund raising and warrant exercises as described in Note 9 of our interim condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, our total assets were $26,429,000. As of December 31, 2020, our total assets were $5,895,000. The increase of assets was mainly due to an increase of cash and cash equivalents and increase of receivables on account of issuance of shares due to fundraising activities, as described in Note 4 of our interim condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, our total liabilities were $4,093,000. As of December 31, 2020, our total liabilities were $1,931,000. The increase of liabilities was mainly due to an increase of accounts payables, contract liabilities and other accrued compensation expenses.

Since incorporation through March 31, 2021, we incurred accumulated deficit of approximately $7.9 million. Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021, as well as the proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares and warrants in the private offering as detailed in Note 4, will allow us to fund our operating plan through at least the next 12 months. However, we expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses and other costs related to our ongoing operations; and in order to continue our future operations, we will need to obtain additional funding until we become profitable.
