A significant disclosure is the management's conclusion that there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to accumulated deficits and negative cash flows. The notes also cover revenue disaggregation, recent financing activities including convertible loans and a private placement with defaulting investors, a new legal proceeding, and a significant subsequent financing event - The company's business model is centered on its Point of Care (POCare) Platform, which includes a pipeline of therapies, automated processing systems (OMPULs), and a global network of hospitals and research institutes[37](index=37&type=chunk)[41](index=41&type=chunk) - Management has identified a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern due to an accumulated deficit of **$116 million** and negative operating cash flows of **$9.2 million** for the six months ended June 30, 2022[47](index=47&type=chunk)[49](index=49&type=chunk) - In a March 2022 private placement, the company received only **$2.175 million** of a planned **$14.8 million** due to defaulting investors[61](index=61&type=chunk) - The company is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Chaim Sheba Medical Center, which seeks royalties and **NIS 10 million** in damages.

Despite lower revenues, the cost of revenues and R&D increased slightly. The company's liquidity position is strained, with working capital decreasing and a reiterated warning of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Operations were funded through convertible loan agreements, though some investors defaulted on their commitments [Results of Operations](index=28&type=section&id=Results%20of%20Operations) For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenues decreased 32% to $7.2 million from $10.5 million in Q2 2021. For the six-month period, revenues decreased 28% to $14.4 million. The decline was mainly from POC development services.
