First Quarter 2019 Financial Results 

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $1,689,000, compared to $1,705,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $635,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2018 was attributed to higher commercial sales of DragonFly Pro systems.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $2,152,000, compared to $2,021,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $2,548,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to an increase in materials expenses. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to a decrease in payroll and related expenses and a decrease in rent expenses, mainly due to shifting resources from R&D to manufacturing and operations.

Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $1,364,000, compared to $1,220,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $786,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses and marketing and advertising expenses.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $1,791,000, compared to $685,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $885,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase is attributed to our February 2019 public offering, in which we issued warrants and rights to purchase, that were classified as financial liability, resulting in issuance expenses of approximately $1,224,000 that were recognized as G&A expense.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $1,476,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to $3,967,000, or $0.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $4,123,000, or $0.05 per share, in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease is attributed to finance income of approximately $3,500,000 that was recognized in the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the change in the fair value of warrants and rights to purchase that were issued in our February 2019 public offering. 

Balance Sheet Highlights

In February 2019 we issued, pursuant to a public offering in the United States, an aggregate of 80,000,000 ordinary shares (16,000,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADS”)), 80,000,000 non-tradable warrants (exercisable into 80,000,000 ordinary shares or 16,000,000 ADS) and 60,000,000 non-tradable rights to purchase (exercisable into 60,000,000 ordinary shares or 12,000,000 ADS). The rights to purchase and the warrants contained a cashless exercise mechanism and therefore are classified as financial liability that is measured at fair value through profit and loss. The total gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $12,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering-related expenses. The total net proceeds from the offering were approximately $10,560,000. From the gross issuance consideration, a total of approximately $10,200,000 was attributed to the fair value of the financial liability in respect to the rights to purchase and warrants. The remainder, approximately $1,800,000, was attributed to the issued shares. The value of the financial liability in respect to the rights to purchase and warrants was measured as of March 31, 2019, at an amount of approximately $6,500,000, and the difference between the fair value as of the issuance date and the fair value as of March 31, 2019, was recognized as finance income in an amount of approximately $3,600,000.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted IFRS 16 using the cumulative effect method, and recognized a right of use asset in an amount of $1,891,000 and a lease liability in an amount of $2,192,000. Accordingly, we recognized depreciation and amortization expenses in respect of a right-of-use asset, and recognized financing expenses. Therefore, as from the date of initial application, lease payments relating to assets leased under an operating lease, which were presented as part of the different sections of expenses in the income statement, are capitalized to assets and are recognized as depreciation and amortization expenses at the same sections.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $10,222,000 as of March 31, 2019, compared to $3,753,000 on December 31, 2018. The increase compared to December 31, 2018 mainly reflects proceeds received from the sale of ADSs in the first quarter of 2019, less cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $16,145,000 as of March 31, 2019, compared to $15,572,000 as of December 31, 2018.
