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 the State of Delaware on February 15, 2012 and (ii) ReWalk Robotics GMBH (“RRG”) incorporated under the laws of Germany on January 14, 2013.
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 its 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 clearance from the 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. The Company markets and sells its products directly to institutions and individuals in Germany and the United States and through third-party distributors in other markets. In its direct markets, the Company has established relationships with rehabilitation centers and the spinal cord injury community, and in its indirect markets, the Company’s distributors maintain these relationships. RRI markets and sells products mainly in the United States. RRG sell the Company’s products mainly in Germany and Europe.
During the second quarter of 2020, we finalized two separate agreements to distribute additional product lines in the U.S. market. The Company will be the exclusive distributor of the MediTouch Tutor movement biofeedback systems in the United States and will also have distribution rights for the MYOLYN MyoCycle FES cycles to U.S. rehabilitation clinics and personal sales through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) hospitals. These new products will improve our product offering to clinics as well as patients within the VA as they both have similar clinician and patient profiles.
c.The worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) in March 2020 has resulted in a global economic slowdown and is expected to continue to disrupt general business operations until the disease is contained. This pandemic had a negative impact on the Company's sales and results of operations since 2020, and the Company expects that it will continue to negatively affect its sales and results of operations as long as the pandemic impacts our direct markets in Germany and the United States and disturbs our ability to trial new ReWalk Personal 6.0 patients, access clinics to demonstrate our rehab products such as ReStore and customers are unable to continue their in-clinic training. The Company is currently unable to predict the scale and duration of that impact due to the considerable uncertainty that still surrounds the length of time that the areas in which we operate will continue to be impacted by the measures designed to reduce and contain the spread of the virus taken on international, national and local levels. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to the Company’s accounting estimates or judgments or revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. This determination may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from our estimates and judgments, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

REWALK ROBOTICS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
d.In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $8.8 million and as of September 30, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit in the total amount of $190.3 million. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021, were $91.2 million and the Company’s negative operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $8.9 million. The Company has sufficient funds to support its operations for more than 12 months following the issuance date of its condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company expects to incur future net losses and our transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful development and commercialization of our products and product candidates, the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. Until we achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, we will continue to need to raise additional cash. We intend to fund future operations through cash on hand, additional private and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities, cash exercises of outstanding warrants or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, we may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources and we will continue to address our cost structure. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds or achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operations.
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 (“U.S. GAAP”) and standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for interim financial information.

The results for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2021, as applicable, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31. 2020.
The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2020, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2021, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Units placed
The Company currently offers five products: (1) ReWalk Personal; (2) ReWalk Rehabilitation; (3) ReStore; (4) MyoCycle; and (5) MediTouch.
ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation are units for spinal cord injuries (“SCI Products”). SCI Products are currently designed for everyday use by paraplegic individuals at home and in their communities, and are custom fitted for each user, as well as for use by paraplegia patients in the clinical rehabilitation environment, where they provide individuals access to valuable exercise and therapy.
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.
The MyoCycle device uses Functional Electrical Stimulation (“FES”) technology to facilitate therapeutic exercise for persons with muscle weakness or paralysis caused by disorders like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and stroke.
The MediTouch Tutor movement biofeedback product line includes the Arm, Hand, 3D and Leg Tutor devices. These devices are used by physical and occupational therapists to evaluate functional tasks during rehabilitation of neurologic disorders and can also be used by patients remotely at home.
Pursuant to two separate distribution agreements entered into during the second quarter of 2020, the Company now markets both the MediTouch and MyoCyle products (together the “Distributed Products”) in the United States for use at home or in the clinic.
Units placed includes revenue from sales or rental of SCI Products, ReStore and the Distributed Products.
For units placed, the Company recognizes revenues when it transfers control and title has passed to the customer. Each unit placed is considered an independent, unbundled performance obligation. The Company generally does not grant a right of return for its products besides isolated cases where we than asses the likelihood of such event to occur based on our historical experience and future estimates. The Company also offers a rent-to-purchase model in which the Company recognizes revenue ratably according to the agreed rental monthly fee.

Spare parts and warranties
Spare parts are sold to private individuals, rehabilitation facilities and distributors. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over promised goods or services to the 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, the Company updated its 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 a two-year warranty which is considered as assurance type warranty.
The Distributed Products are offered with an assurance-type warranty that is covered by the vendor ranging from

b.New Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
i.Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature and a beneficial conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). ASU 2020-06 is effective for the company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
ii.Financial Instruments
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. Topic 326 will be effective on the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.

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.

The Company writes off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible and having exhausted all collection efforts. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, trade receivables are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $

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 ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation devices for individuals with spinal cord injury (“SCI Products”), which are exoskeletons designed for individuals with paraplegia that use our patented tilt-sensor technology and an on-board computer and motion sensors to drive motorized legs that power movement.
We have also developed our ReStore device, which we began commercializing 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. During the second quarter of 2020, we finalized and moved to implement two separate agreements to distribute additional product lines in the United States. We are the exclusive distributor of the MediTouch Tutor movement biofeedback systems in the United States and will also have distribution rights for the MYOLYN MyoCycle FES cycles to U.S. rehabilitation clinics and personal sales through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) hospitals and other personal sales. These Distributed Products will improve our product offering to clinics as well as patients within the VA as they both have similar clinician and patient profile.
Our principal markets are the United States and Europe. In Europe, we have a direct sales operation in Germany and work with distribution partners in certain other major countries. We have offices in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Berlin, Germany and Yokneam, Israel, from where we operate our business.
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 the ReWalk Personal, we are pursuing various paths of reimbursement and support fundraising efforts by institutions and clinics, such as the VA policy that was issued in December 2015 for the evaluation, training, and procurement of ReWalk Personal exoskeleton systems for all qualifying veterans suffering from spinal cord injury across the United States.
As the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) reported in 2017 that it covers approximately 55% of the spinal cord injury population which are at least five years post their injury date we have been trying to develop a policy with CMS. In July 2020, a code was issued for ReWalk Personal 6.0 (effective October 1, 2020), which may later be followed by a coverage policy of CMS.
24
Additionally, to date, several private insurers in the United States and Europe have provided reimbursement for ReWalk in certain cases. In Germany, we continue to make progress toward achieving ReWalk coverage from the various government, private and worker’s compensation payors. In September 2017, each of German insurer BARMER GEK (“Barmer”) and national social accident insurance provider Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (“DGUV”), indicated that they will provide coverage to users who meet certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. In February 2018, the head office of German statutory health insurance (“SHI”) Spitzenverband (“GKV”) confirmed their decision to list the ReWalk Personal 6.0 exoskeleton system 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. During the year 2020, we announced several new agreements with German SHIs, including TK and DAK Gesundheit, as well as the first German Private Health Insurer (“PHI”), which outline the process of obtaining our devices for eligible insured patients. We are also currently working with several additional SHIs 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.

Evolving COVID-19 Pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and will likely continue to result in, significant disruptions to the global economy and the capital markets, as well as our business. In an effort to halt the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of countries, including the United States and many countries in Europe, have placed significant restrictions on travel, and many businesses have announced extended closures. Despite the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, it is unclear how long any total or partial shutdowns could last, and whether additional shutdowns will be necessary to halt potential future outbreaks especially as new variants such as the Delta variant are emerging.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our ability to engage with our SCI Products, ReStore and Distributed Products existing customers, conduct trials of new product candidates, deliver ordered units or repair existing systems and provide training of our products to new patients who have largely remained at home due to local movement restrictions and to rehabilitation centers, which have temporarily shifted priorities and responses to pandemic-related medical equipment. As a result, our sales and results of operations have been adversely impacted. We believe that these adverse impacts may continue as long as the pandemic status remains in our key markets within the United States and Germany, especially as long as our ability to conduct trials of new patients is limited or if our existing customers can’t train with our SCI Products and as long as capital budgets for rehabilitation devices such as the ReStore remain reduced or on-hold. Additionally, some clinics, such as VA clinics, are enforcing in-clinic restrictions that effect our ability to demonstrate our devices to patients or start training for qualified potential customers. We continue to monitor our sales pipeline on a day-to-day basis in order to assess the quarterly effect of these limitations as some have short term effects and some affects our future pipeline development. While our sole manufacturer, Sanmina Corporation, has not shut down its facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, our manufacturing has had limited impact due to supply chain delays and component shortages. Other adverse impacts on our production capacity as a result of government directives or health protocols can occur. Moreover, the current limitations on our sales activities has made it difficult to effectively forecast our future requirements for systems. For more information, see “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
In addition, our future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions and operational challenges faced by our customers. The occurrence of new outbreaks of COVID-19 could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn or a global recession that could cause significant volatility or decline in the trading price of our securities, affect our ability to execute strategic business activities, affect demand for our products and likely impact our operating results. These may further limit or restrict our ability to access capital on favorable terms, or at all, lead to consolidation that negatively impacts our business, weaken demand, increase competition, cause us to reduce our capital spend further, or otherwise disrupt our business.
During the pandemic, we have implemented remote working procedures in the United States, Germany and Israel and are establishing in-office measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 according to local regulations. With the vaccination of most of our employees we have gradually returned to work from our offices. We have also taken several cost reduction efforts that lasted throughout 2020 as needed. We will continue to monitor the environment and reinforce cost reduction measures as the market condition develops. Despite this current situation and the challenges it imposes, we have developed methods to continue to engage with our current and prospective customers through video conferencing, virtual training events, and online education demos to offer our support and showcase the value of our products.

Personal unit revenues consist of ReWalk Personal 6.0 and Distributed Products sale, rental, service and warranty revenue for home use.
Rehabilitation unit revenues consist of ReStore, Distributed Products and SCI Products sale, rental, service and warranty revenue to clinics, hospitals for treating patients with relevant medical conditions or medical academic centers.
Revenues increased by $1,225 thousand, or 164%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was driven primarily by higher number of personal and rehabilitation units sold in Unites States including a multiple unit order to a physical therapy university as well as an increase in Germany as we have seen reduced COVID-19 restrictions.
Revenues increased by approximately $1,549 thousand, or 49%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is due to higher number of personal and rehabilitation units sold in Europe and the Unites States.
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 and other products to rehabilitation clinics and for personal use.
Gross Profit

Gross profit was 58% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 52% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was mainly driven by higher number of units sold and in higher Average Selling Price (“ASP”) offset partially with sales mix.
Gross profit was 54% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is mainly driven by change in sales mix and higher service-related expenses offset by increased ASP.
We expect our gross profit to improve, assuming we increase our sales volumes, which could also decrease the product manufacturing costs. Improvements may be partially offset by the lower margins we currently expect from ReStore and our Distributed Products as well as due to an increase in the cost of product parts, especially as long as COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the market.

Research and development expenses, decreased $452 thousand, or 17%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is attributable mainly to decreased personnel and personnel related expenses and decreased consulting costs associated with the development and clinical study costs of our ReStore soft suit exoskeleton.
We intend to focus our future research and development expenses mainly on our current products maintenance as well as developing our “soft suit” exoskeleton for additional indications affecting the ability to walk or a home use design.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed 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 condensed financial statements and related disclosures. See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2020 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 2020 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 on Form 10-Q.

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 promissory notes to investors in private placements, the sale of our ordinary shares in public offerings and the incurrence of bank debt.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred a consolidated net loss of $8.8 million and as of September 30, 2021, we have an accumulated deficit in the total amount of $190.3 million. Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021, were $91.2 million and our negative operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $8.9 million. We have sufficient funds to support its operations for more than 12 months following the issuance date of our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
We expect to incur future net losses and our transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful development and commercialization of our products and product candidates, the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. Until we achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, we will continue to need to raise additional cash. We intend to fund future operations through cash on hand, additional private and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities, cash exercises of outstanding warrants or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, we may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources and we will continue to address our cost structure. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds or achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operations.
Our anticipated primary uses of cash are: (i) sales, marketing and reimbursement expenses related to market development activities of our ReStore and Personal 6.0 devices, broadening third-party payor and CMS coverage for our ReWalk Personal device and commercializing our new product lines added through distribution agreements; (ii) ) research and development of our lightweight exo-suit technology for potential home personal health utilization for multiple indications and future generation designs for our spinal cord injury device; (iii) routine product updates; (iv) general corporate purposes, including working capital needs; and (v) potential acquisitions of business. We do not currently have any agreement or understanding with respect to an acquisition. 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.
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, we 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.
30
In connection with the $20.0 million drawdown under the Loan Agreement on January 4, 2016, we issued to Kreos a warrant (the “Kreos Warrant”) to purchase up to 4,771 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $241 per share, which was increased to 6,679 ordinary shares on December 28, 2016. Pursuant 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, we entered into a First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with Kreos, under which $3.0 million of the outstanding principal under the Loan Agreement became subject to repayment pursuant to the senior secured Kreos Convertible Note issued on June 9, 2017.
On November 20, 2018, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement with Kreos, in which we (i) repaid $3.6 million to Kreos, including prepayment costs and end of loan payments, (ii) terminated the Kreos Note, (iii) issued Kreos 192,000 units and 288,000 pre-funded units as part of an underwritten public offering at the public offering prices, and (iv) agreed with Kreos to revise the principal and the repayment schedule under the Kreos Loan. Additionally, we entered into a Warrant Amendment with Kreos, which amended the exercise price of the Kreos Warrants from $241 to $7.5 per share.
On June 5, 2019, and June 6, 2019, we entered into warrant exercise agreements with certain institutional investors of warrants to purchase our ordinary shares, pursuant to which Kreos agreed to exercise, in cash, the Kreos Warrant at the then-effective exercise price of $7.50 per share. Under the exercise agreements, we 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 with an exercise period of five years.
On December 29, 2020, we repaid in full the remaining loan principal amount under the Loan Agreement to Kreos including end of loan payments, thereby discharging all of our obligations to Kreos. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal amount under the Kreos Loan Agreement was zero.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan Agreement
On April 21, 2020, RRI entered into a note agreement evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $392 thousand (the “PPP Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020. The PPP Note provides for an interest rate of 1.00% per year and matures two years after the date of initial disbursement. Beginning on the seventh month following the date of initial disbursement, RRI is required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest. The PPP Note may be used for payroll costs, costs related to certain group health care benefits and insurance premiums, rent payments, utility payments, mortgage interest payments and interest payments on any other debt obligation that were incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients could apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the Small Business Administration may adopt.
On September 29, 2020, we submitted an application for loan forgiveness and on November 6, 2020 we received confirmation of the PPP Note forgiveness.

Equity Raises
Form S-3 Limitations
Beginning with the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 on February 17, 2017, we were subject to limitations under the applicable rules of Form S-3, which constrained our ability to secure capital pursuant to our At The Market (“ATM”) Offering Program or other public offerings pursuant to our effective registration statement on 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. As of February 16, 2021, since our public float reached at least $75 million in the preceding 60 days, these limitations will no longer apply to our primary offerings under Form S-3 until the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K in 2022, when we will re-assess our status under these rules. If our public float subsequently drops below $75 million as of the filing of that or a subsequent annual report on Form 10-K, or at the time we file a new Form S-3, we will become subject to these limitations again, until the date that our public float again reaches $75 million. 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 currently effective Form S-3 expires on May 23, 2022. We have registered up to $100 million of ordinary shares warrants and/or debt securities and certain other outstanding securities with registration rights on the Form S-3.

ATM Offering Program
On May 10, 2016, we entered into an 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. 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 will be made under our effective registration statement on 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% 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 earlier 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 of the Equity Distribution Agreement 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, 2020, 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.
We intend to continue using the at-the-market offering or similar continuous offering programs opportunistically to raise additional funds, although we are currently subject to restrictions on using the ATM Offering Program with Piper Jaffray. Under our December 2020 purchase agreement with certain investors, we agreed, for a period of one year following December 3, 2020, not to: (i) issue or agree to issue equity or debt securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, ordinary shares at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange price which floats with the trading price of the ordinary shares or which may be adjusted after issuance upon the occurrence of certain events or (ii) enter into any agreement, including an equity line of credit, whereby we may issue securities at a future-determined price, other than an at–the-market facility with the placement agent, H.C. Wainwright, beginning on February 1, 2021. Such limitations may inhibit our ability to access capital efficiently, or at all.

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 were 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. The Third Tranche Closing was to have occurred by December 31, 2018 and no later than April 1, 2019. We believe that Timwell committed various material breaches of the Investment Agreement, including failure to consummate its second and third investment tranches with us for a total of $15 million, failure to enter into a detailed joint venture with us, and failure to make payments for product-related commitments. Nevertheless, until March 2020 we continued to engage in a dialogue with Timwell (and its affiliate RealCan) on alternative pathways to 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.
In late March 2020, Timwell notified us that it would not invest the second and third tranches under the Investment Agreement. In response, in early April 2020, our Board of Directors also removed Timwell’s designee, who was appointed pursuant to the Investment Agreement, from the Board of Directors, due to this breach pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement. We continue to view China as a market with key opportunities for products designed for stroke patients, and therefore 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 by $1.2 million or 12% due to improvement in working capital as well as no interest payments to Kreos as we repaid our debt under the Loan Agreement in full in December 2020.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $67.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the higher proceeds received through our first and third quarter offering and warrants exercises, as well as the fact that we did not have any principal payments pursuant to the Loan Agreement with Kreos after repaying our debt in full in December 2020.

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 disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, 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-15I and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act).

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 2020 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 on Form 10-Q.
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 2020 Form 10-K and in “Part IA. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021. except as noted below:
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
Defects in our products or the software that drives them could adversely affect the results of our operations.
The design, manufacture and marketing of our products involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of ReWalk or ReStore, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of our products can lead to injury or other adverse events. In addition, because the manufacturing of our products is outsourced to Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”), our original equipment manufacturer, we may not be aware of manufacturing defects that could occur. Such adverse events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to our products (either voluntary or required by the FDA or similar governmental authorities in other countries), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of our products from the market. A recall could result in significant costs. To the extent any manufacturing defect occurs, our agreement with Sanmina contains a limitation on Sanmina’s liability, and therefore we could be required to incur the majority of related costs. Product defects or recalls could also result in negative publicity, damage to our reputation or, in some circumstances, delays in new product approvals.
When an exoskeleton is used by a paralyzed individual to walk, the individual relies completely on the exoskeleton to hold him or her upright. In addition, our products incorporate sophisticated computer software. Complex software frequently contains errors, especially when first introduced. Our software may experience errors or performance problems in the future. If any part of our product’s hardware or software were to fail, the user could experience death or serious injury. For example, ReWalk recently submitted medical device reports to the FDA and medical device vigilance reports to the European regulatory authorities and initiated a correction in response to two complaints regarding battery thermal runaway events. The correction that includes clarification of previous instructions and additional information on battery operation and storage is closed in Europe and remains ongoing in the United States. Additionally, users may not use or maintain our products in accordance with safety, storage, and training protocols, which could enhance the risk of death or injury. Any such occurrence could cause delay in market acceptance of our products, damage to our reputation, additional regulatory filings, product recalls, increased service and warranty costs, product liability claims and loss of revenue relating to such hardware or software defects.
The medical device industry has historically been subject to extensive litigation over product liability claims. We have been and anticipate that as part of our ordinary course of business we may be, subject to product liability claims alleging defects in the design, manufacture, or labeling of our products. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in significant legal defense costs and high punitive damage payments. Although we maintain product liability insurance, the coverage is subject to deductibles and limitations, and may not be adequate to cover future claims. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain our existing product liability insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or adequate amounts.
38
A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, such as COVID-19, has adversely affected and may continue to materially and adversely impact our business, our operations and our financial results.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. In an effort to halt the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of countries, including the United States and Germany where we have key operations, placed significant restrictions on travel, and many businesses announced extended closures. It is unclear how long total or partial shutdowns may last and whether additional shutdowns will be necessary to the extent future outbreaks occur.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and a continuing outbreak or future outbreaks may have, several adverse effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including:
Sales. The steps we have taken to safeguard employees and patients have curtailed direct sales activities, including our ability to train patients and rehabilitation centers on how to use our system, which has adversely impacted our sales and results of operation since 2020. The overall impact of the limitations on our sales efforts are currently hard to determine because, in addition to the short-term impacts, we are unable to interact and test our system with potential new patients at the same levels that we have before the COVID-19 outbreak. Our ReStore device for example has received FDA clearance in the third quarter of 2019 and had limited trial use and placements to date with the outbreak of COVID-19 and currently we do not have enough user experience to evaluate its potential market success. It may take an extended period after current restrictions end for us and with the distribution of vaccines in our main markets, that will allow us to engage with potential new clients. We continue to monitor our sales pipeline on a day-to-day basis in order to assess the quarterly effect of these limitations as some have short term effects and some affects our future pipeline development.
Repairs. We have been unable to repair existing systems with the result that we have had to ship temporary replacement systems in some cases. We cannot be certain when social distancing restrictions will be fully lifted and, once they are fully lifted, whether sales of our systems will offset the revenue that we have forgone earlier in the year. We also cannot be certain that social distancing restrictions or other measures will not be reinstated in the event of a future outbreak of COVID-19 or similar outbreak.
Production and Supply Chain. Our manufacturing was impacted mainly by parts shortage and supply chain delays. Other elements such as adverse impacts on our production capacity due to government directives, transportation issues, or health protocols that might impact our production facility. In addition, given the impact of current limitations on our sales activities, it has become hard for us to effectively forecast our future requirements for systems. Accordingly, there is a greater risk that we may overproduce or underproduce compared to sales.
Regulatory and clinical trials. Limitations on travel and business closures recommended by federal, state, and local governments, could, among other things, impact our ability to enroll patients in clinical trials, recruit clinical site investigators, and obtain timely approvals from local regulatory authorities for trials we might conduct. In our post-market study that we continue to conduct, we may face decreased ability to contact patients where a patient’s COVID-19 status is unknown. Regulatory oversight and actions regarding our products have been and may continue to be disrupted or delayed in regions impacted by COVID-19, including the United States and Europe, which have been and may continue to impact review and approval timelines for products in development and/or changes to existing products that need regulatory review and approval.
Negative impacts on our suppliers and employees. COVID-19 may impact the health of our employees, directors, partners or customers, reduce the availability of our workforce or those of companies with which we do business, divert our attention toward succession planning, or create disruptions in our supply or distribution networks. The adverse effects of such events on us may include disruption to our operations, or demand for our products in the short and/or long term.
Our future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions and operational challenges faced by our customers. Continued outbreaks of COVID-19 could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn or a global recession that could affect demand for our products and likely impact our operating results. These may further limit or restrict our ability to access capital on favorable terms, or at all, lead to consolidation that negatively impacts our business, weaken demand, increase competition, cause us to reduce our capital spend further, or otherwise disrupt our business.

We may enter into collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, business acquisitions or partnerships with third parties that may not result in the development of commercially viable products or the generation of significant future revenues.
In the ordinary course of our business, we may enter into collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, business acquisitions or partnerships to develop our products and to pursue new geographic or product markets. Proposing, negotiating, and implementing collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or partnerships may be a lengthy and complex process. We may not identify, secure, or complete any such transactions or arrangements in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, on acceptable terms or at all. We have limited institutional knowledge and experience with respect to these business development activities, and we may also not realize the anticipated benefits of any such transaction or arrangement. In particular, these collaborations may not result in the development of products that achieve commercial success or result in significant revenues and could be terminated prior to developing any products. For example, we have entered into agreements with MediTouch and Myolyn for the distribution of their products in the U.S. We also collaborate with Harvard University’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering for the research, design, development, and commercialization of lightweight exoskeleton system technologies for lower limb disabilities, aimed to treat stroke, multiple sclerosis, mobility limitations for the elderly and other medical applications. Our arrangements with MediTouch, Myolyn and Harvard, may not be as productive or successful as we hope.
Additionally, as we pursue these arrangements and choose to pursue other collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or partnerships in the future, we may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the transaction or arrangement. This could create the potential risk of creating impasses on decisions, and our collaborators may have economic or business interests or goals that are, or that may become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals. It is possible that conflicts may arise with our collaborators. Our collaborators may act in their self-interest, which may be adverse to our best interest, and they may breach their obligations to us. Any such disputes could result in litigation or arbitration which would increase our expenses and divert the attention of our management. Further, these transactions and arrangements are contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the applicable agreements.
Risks Related to Government Regulation
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 and our modified protocol (intended to overcome the enrollment issues so that we may complete the study, as required) has not yet been approved by FDA. 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 post-market 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 post-market 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 (the “February 2016 Letter”) requesting additional changes to our study protocol and asking that we amend the study within 30 days. The February 2016 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 post-market 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 post-market 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 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 made the FDA aware that due to enrollment issues, we were unable to satisfy the target enrollment specified in the original study protocol. As of March 6, 2021, the study has been closed. Twelve subjects were enrolled in the study, three completed the study and one was using the device at the time the study was closed. This was substantially below the required number of patients included in our original study protocol.
In March 2021, the FDA accepted another protocol supplement to the original post-market study that we prepared to address our inability to obtain certain study information due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our modification to the original protocol allowed us to close all study sites. The data from the original post-market study, along with the real world data, was submitted to FDA and is currently under review. However, despite the revised study protocol there can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy the post-market study requirements. If we cannot meet FDA requirements for the post-market 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 40% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2020, 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.
