Our Company
We are a pioneer in the development, production and marketing of innovative visual monitoring artificial intelligence, or AI, solutions that deploy small visual sensors to monitor critical safety components in hard-to-reach locations and harsh environments, across various PdM, and CBM use cases applied both for the civil and defense sectors. We aim to be the industry benchmark for real-time, visual-based machine and infrastructure health monitoring and predictive maintenance analysis through AI and machine learning data analytics.
Our Mission
We aim to become the industry standard for real time, visual based, health monitoring using AI/ML data analytics.
Our Solutions
Our solutions stream visual information to our processing unit, an in-platform, high-performance AI/ML (machine learning) computer, allowing maintenance and operations teams, on the ground and during operations, visibility into areas that are inaccessible under normal operating conditions or where conditions are not suitable for continuous monitoring. The data, continuously collected and analyzed by our solution on our secured cloud, provides customers with real-time failure / anomaly detection, events and data recordings, interfacing with platform mission systems and providing real-time alerts and streaming video or images, all while training our algorithms for ongoing improved accuracy and prediction capabilities. Our customers benefit from increased safety, a reduction in downtime, a more efficient data driven operation, increased mission readiness and lower maintenance costs for their monitored platforms, using the prediction capabilities of our solution to efficiently plan maintenance work on monitored components.
Our solution aims to enhance safety and minimize costly downtime by enabling real-time visual analysis of any failure occurrences and to leverage advanced big data analytics to offer predictive insights throughout the entire system lifecycle. This includes efficient spare parts management and intelligent performance predictions, ensuring optimal system reliability and efficiency.
Our solutions are already deployed in the industrial, automotive and aviation sectors. Our customers include the Israeli Air Force, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, a global international defense contractor, NASA, and Israel Railways Ltd., as well as a leading European provider of elevator monitoring solutions. Historically, our revenue stream has been derived mainly from the medical sector.
Our vision-based sensor technology
Initially used in medical devices, our video-based sensor solution (comprising image acquisition, data collection and storage and image processing, including PdM and CBM) have contributed significantly to visual aids for medical teams in an FDA-cleared minimally invasive surgical device. Over time, our technology has proven essential in industries such as aerospace, where visual assessments are crucial for maintaining performance rates, maintenance, and safety standards for various mechanical systems.
We specialize in predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring, utilizing advanced AI-driven sensor visualization solutions, using video analytics and algorithms. Human perception relies significantly on visual sensing, and our technology enables our clients to accurately observe phenomena that were previously only approximated or conjectured.
Our core technologies include:
- Vision-Based Sensor Technology: This innovative approach uses micro sensors to monitor and analyze system health condition in real-time, designed for hard-to-reach and harsh environments.
- AI and Machine Learning: We employ sophisticated proprietary AI algorithms and models to predict potential hazards, optimize maintenance schedules and enhance operational efficiency.

- Cloud-Based Analytics: The collected data is continuously analyzed on a secure cloud platform or “On Prem”, offering customers both raw data and processed insights for improved decision-making.
Our vision-based sensing technology provides solutions across diverse PdM and CBM markets, and in harsh conditions as demonstrated in a variety of environments, including outer space during NASA’s Robotic Refueling Mission, or RRM3.
AH-64 “Apache” Use Case
In 2016, a Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed when a hidden and rarely inspected safety nut became undone, causing the rotor blades to dis-attach in-flight and caused a Class A (major) accident with casualties. We developed a solution that uses vision-based sensors and trained AI algorithms to monitor and measure the size and number of threads in a bolt in real-time and automatically warn of out-of-synch events, preventing such critical future events.
Our solution was further developed to monitor safety critical and other components on the aircraft and today the solution has been procured for the SH-60 Seahawk helicopter and deployed on the AH-64 Apache and other operational platforms in Israel and globally.
Our System Architecture
Our specialized software collects, processes, detects, and records real time information from multiple sensors. The data is available in real-time through a user application or via our technician ground tool. Our modular integrated solution is comprised of a processing unit and multiple vision-based sensors that are integrated into hard-to-reach areas and monitoring safety critical components in real time. This open architecture supports both our full solution or integration with existing systems.
Our Business Model and Value Proposition
Our unique video-based sensors, embedded software and AI algorithms are currently being deployed in hard-to-reach locations and harsh environments across a variety of PdM and CBM use cases. Our value proposition is based on providing actual condition of a platform in real-time, offering significant value through enhanced safety, efficiency and cost savings and transition from periodic maintenance to condition-based maintenance. Our data analytics provide predictive insights regarding an entire system life cycle, spare parts management and smart prediction of system performance. The operational, financial and quality benefits of using our solutions include the following:
***Enhanced Safety. \***Our solutions enhance worker safety without sacrificing productivity, while minimizing planned and unexpected downtime. This is made possible by early detection of potential failures, which can prevent accidents and help to ensure the aircraft operates within safe parameters. In addition, our technology can endure extreme environments and has wireless capability, features that allow maintenance teams to conduct monitoring and visual inspection remotely, with such continuous monitoring and real-time analysis on the ground and in-flight operations reducing the risk of unexpected malfunctions. Our smarter approach collects data by placing multiple cameras on or near the moving parts of machines, allowing workers to conduct remote monitoring to assess the condition of a component or machine without having to touch the mechanical parts themselves, eliminating potential hazards of being exposed to those parts, including extreme environmental conditions, rotating equipment and accidents while climbing ladders, among others.
Increased Efficiency and Mission Capability. Organizations are estimated to lower their machine failure rates significantly by using predictive maintenance programs. Conducting condition-based monitoring using technologies that can gather and distribute sensor data enables maintenance teams to obtain real-time data on the health of a mechanical system, providing automated and precise detection of issues that minimizes the time needed for manual and human visual inspections, and increases the mission capability of the platform. This provides enough forewarning to apply the appropriate maintenance tasks that will prevent failure. For example, our vision-based sensor reduces or replaces a significant part of the visual inspections required by maintenance teams in the aviation or transportation industries (i.e., checks for completeness, checks for existence, checks for proper installation, etc.), allowing technicians that oversee rotating and other equipment to conduct real-time monitoring of bearing malfunctions and deformations while the machine is in operation. Our technology can detect minuscule deformations that will eventually leave the bearings vulnerable to surface fatigue. AI algorithms can then forecast the estimated time of failure. This not only helps ensure that the bearings are replaced, when necessary, but also prevents collateral damage to nearby components, machines or systems that would occur should the bearings fail.
Cost Savings. Predictive maintenance is estimated to cut maintenance costs on average by 25 percent. These savings are on costs related to inventory management, the personnel needed to install replacement components and more. Under conventional maintenance programs, in cases of emergencies and unexpected machine breakdown, these costs can multiply. With the foresight predictive maintenance provides into the health of a machine, organizations can reduce the frequency of unexpected machine breakdowns and optimized maintenance schedules, extending the lifespan of aircraft components and lowering replacement costs. Using predictive maintenance in lieu of other maintenance approaches that rely on rigid maintenance scheduling also means that costs are saved on servicing and replacing machine components that are still in good working order.
Improved Accuracy and Reliability. As physical assets, machines are vulnerable to deterioration. Our vision-based system and analysis ensure consistent and objective detection of issues, reducing human error and enhancing the reliability of maintenance predictions and interventions. The data analytics we provide offer maintenance teams with insights that help machines perform optimally as long as possible. The analysis of machine data from our vision-based sensing solution and analytics will highlight the situations in which components fail or break down frequently. Maintenance teams can use this information to minimize breakdowns.
Reduced Downtime. Unexpected downtime is expensive and can be one of the largest money drains in Industry 4.0 organizations (as used in this Annual Report, Industry 4.0, or I4.0, refers to the integration of advanced technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes to create smart, interconnected systems for improved efficiency and productivity). For example, Siemens estimates that the world’s 500 largest companies lose almost $1.4 trillion annually through unplanned downtime, which is equivalent to approximately 11% of their revenues. Our solutions have been designed to eliminate unplanned downtime and allows maintenance teams to keep necessary, planned downtime to a minimum and at a more convenient, less disruptive schedule. This is a stark difference from other maintenance approaches, such as preventive maintenance, which can increase downtime by implementing either insufficient or excessive maintenance.
Advanced Training and Support. Real-time and historical visual information serve as powerful training tools for technicians, improving their skills and preparedness. Visual remote access capabilities allow for expert support and collaboration, even across different locations.
Our current business model is to identify customers interested in adding real-time visualization and analytics to their existing or new products. This model includes the initial kit sale including vision-based sensors, and processing unit with embedded software and basic set of algorithms. This strategy allows for immediate revenue generation from system sales, while also setting a base that we believe will allow us in the future to create a steady stream of recurring revenue from multi-year software subscriptions services when the warranty expires.
Our solution provides upsell opportunities including expanding algorithmic functionalities, additional applications, fleet management solutions and improved cloud management.
We have commercial agreements and purchase orders for hundreds of airborne systems of various original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the aerospace industry, and have completed successful demonstration projects for various industrial users. We are in the process of developing additional applications for our vision-based sensing portfolio, which are anticipated to provide significant benefits to our customers.
Market Opportunity
We believe that our solutions have potential application across diverse industry verticals as it is a core technology. As the benefits of vision-based sensor technology become more widely accepted, we believe there are significant market opportunities available for our product offerings.
Based on industry reports and our estimates, the global predictive maintenance market was approximately $14 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to approximately $82 billion by 2031, at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 34%. In the aerospace market alone, which includes commercial aviation, military rotorcraft, fixed wing aircraft and UAVs, we believe that our Aerospace TAM is currently more than $10 billion. We based our Aerospace TAM calculations on data from third-party industry and governmental sources regarding the total number of units that could utilize our vision-based sensor technology and on our estimates of an average selling price and extent of our market penetration. We believe the TAM for other verticals we are targeting such as Industry 4.0, transportation and energy eclipse that of aerospace.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Defense has mandated the use of predictive maintenance as a pro-active maintenance strategy to improve mission readiness and availability.

We are focused on the aerospace vertical while we target Industry 4.0, transportation and energy markets where there is a growing need for our vision-based sensor technology. We are generating commercial revenues in aerospace, and advancing Industry 4.0 and transportation initiatives, from proof-of-concept and demos into commercial deliveries. At the same time, we have initiated market-entry activities in multiple geographies and continue to expand globally across aerospace and additional verticals as opportunities unfold.
We are implementing a comprehensive sales and marketing approach that encourages widespread adoption of our products. Our aim is to sell our solutions by targeting the Israeli home market, utilizing global platforms available in the U.S. and internationally. This involves addressing operators, OEMs, maintenance and repair organizations, and forming strategic partnerships with entities holding strong market positions that can benefit from our solution, providing them with immediate value and a technological edge, thereby accelerating our sales and global expansion. Our direct interaction with OEMs enables us to work with them from the design phase, providing for seamless integration of our solutions into their products. Our sales cycles vary from a few months to a few years, depending on the type and scale of engagement. Once a system is deployed, it may be utilized for several years.
To engage new customers, we employ various sales and marketing strategies. We employ several professional experienced sales managers in relevant fields of expertise, in addition to a team of consultants who assist us in targeting potential customers by analyzing global trends and designated geographical territories.
Our marketing efforts include, but are not limited to, the following:
- engaging third-party companies and local consultants as territorial representatives in key markets to target leading companies in relevant industries;
- initiating business engagements based on leads received through our marketing efforts or through active interaction with key industry influencers;
- conducting proof of concept demonstrations with customers in various industries in order to evaluate the feasibility of integrating our solutions for monitoring their systems and to demonstrate the significant value proposition of our technology;

- participating in major aerospace, defense, vision technology, and other exhibitions, as well as Industry 4.0 specific events.
Currently, we have three major customers that are expected to generate a substantial portion of our forecasted revenue in the near term.
To date, Odysight.ai has made significant progress in deploying its advanced vision-based sensing and predictive maintenance technologies across multiple sectors, including defense, aerospace, transportation and industrial markets. The Company established strong partnerships and collaborations with prominent clients such as Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, SIPAL S.P.A., Israel Railways and several major international defense contractors. Odysight.ai’s solutions have been integrated into a variety of high-profile platforms, including UAVs, helicopters (such as the UH-60 Blackhawk, SH-60 Seahawk, AH-64 Apache and AW139), and industrial systems like elevator belts and mine trucks. These efforts were marked by some substantial purchase orders – one exceeding $10 million – and successful pilot programs, validating the robustness, scalability and market relevance of Odysight.ai’s solutions.
The Company’s modular, AI-driven technology has enabled real-time monitoring, predictive analytics and proactive maintenance, improving operational safety, reducing downtime and optimizing maintenance costs for its clients. Odysight.ai has also transitioned from successful proof-of-concept trials to initial commercial rollouts in the industrial sector, notably with elevator belt monitoring systems, and expanded its reach into new geographies and applications, including railways and heavy vehicles. While Odysight.ai has demonstrated strong market momentum and technological validation, it also acknowledges the potential risk of revenue decline if order volumes from new and existing customers do not meet expectations, which could necessitate cost-cutting measures in the near term. Overall, the Company’s recent milestones underscore its growing impact on predictive maintenance across diverse industries and its readiness to scale globally.
Our purchase orders and collaborations generate revenue over a period ranging from a few months to several years. The variability in project durations and the potential for delays or changes in client needs further complicate our ability to forecast revenue with precision. As a result, there is an inherent uncertainty in predicting the exact timing and amount of revenue that will be generated from these activities.
In addition to our business development efforts that are mainly based on currently existing or future customer needs, we aim to identify new market opportunities. These efforts include systematic analysis of various industrial fields and procedures to identify where visualization solutions, including image analysis, might add value. When a potential opportunity is identified, we seek to protect our rights by establishing relevant intellectual property safeguards and developing prototypes for the required application.
Manufacturing and Supply
We rely on a combination of in-house and outsourced manufacturing for the assembly of our vision-based sensor products. We assemble the miniature sensors used in our PHM and CBM solutions at our Omer facility, while the processing units and handheld devices are produced by third-party manufacturers. The integration into complete systems is conducted in our facilities.
Most of the components and parts we use in our manufacturing operations are available from more than one source. However, we obtain certain components from single source suppliers. In the event of an extended failure of one or more of these suppliers, it is possible that we could experience an interruption in supply until we established new sources or, in some cases, implemented alternative processes. Any inability or delay in finding a suitable replacement supplier or suppliers could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. However, we perform periodic supply chain risk analysis and seek to procure required components to enable consistency in production of our solutions.
Our facility in Omer holds the following certifications: ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO14001, ISO13485, IPC-A-610, and IPC-7711/7721.
Research and Development
Our research and development activities are conducted internally by a team of 29 research and development staff based in Israel. Our development strategy is to identify features and products for the hardware and software that enhance and improve the performance of our solutions for our customers. The focus of our R&D team is to provide technological innovation and associated intellectual property that expands the value proposition of our vision-based sensor solutions.
Our research and development efforts focused on the following core areas:
- Technology Adaptation: Repurposing proven micro-visualization technology for high-stakes aerospace and industrial applications.
- Edge AI Integration: Developing specialized AI models that process high-resolution visual data directly at the edge, enabling the detection of subtle physical anomalies before they result in malfunction or failure.
- Extreme Environment Resilience: Engineering sensors and algorithms capable of operating reliably in harsh environments.
- Dual-Use Capabilities: Designing systems that can be retrofitted onto existing legacy platforms or integrated into new platforms from the outset, providing a significant advantage over traditional vibration- or acoustic-based sensors.
- Cloud-Based Analytics: Continuously analyzing collected data through a secure cloud-based or on-premises platform, providing customers with both raw data and processed insights to support better decision-making.
Competition
Competition among providers of sensing solutions is characterized by extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. There are currently several companies that develop and provide monitoring solutions for PdM and CBM. These monitoring solutions include the sensor itself, data collection and storage, AI processing, or a combination of these capabilities. CBM and PdM solutions are usually based on traditional sensing solutions such as vibration, temperature and acoustic sensors. Based on our research and discussions with customers, we believe these traditional sensing methods are limited in their ability to provide an in-depth view of the condition of the monitored components and usually alert on the occurrence of an anomaly when component failure has already occurred, which is too late in some cases. From an AI perspective, there are several vendors providing off-the-shelf AI capabilities which then require customization per market, use case, and/or data source. We believe that our more holistic approach and reliance on vision-based solutions creates richer and more informative data, leveraged by AI and machine learning algorithms, enabling our customers to more effectively deploy predictive maintenance programs.
We believe that our ability to compete successfully depends primarily on the following factors:
- continuing to advance our vision-based sensor solution;
- leveraging our data and AI capabilities;
- maintaining and attracting customers;
- developing and launching new products and transformative brands;
- responding to changing customer demands in a timely manner;
- maintaining the value and reputation of our brand;
10
- attracting and retaining a team committed to innovation;
- effectiveness of our products;
- accessible pricing;
- customer service; and
- effectiveness of our marketing strategies.
Additional competitors may enter the market, and we are likely to encounter increased competition in the future. Any business combinations or mergers among our competitors that result in larger competitors with greater resources or distribution networks, or the acquisition of a competitor by a major technology corporation seeking to enter this business could further result in increased competition. Other companies, academic and research institutions or others may develop new technologies for products that are more effective than our vision-based sensor technology. Our technologies could be rendered obsolete by such developments.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is an important aspect of our business and we seek protection for our intellectual property rights as we deem appropriate. To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, and contractual restrictions such as confidentiality agreements, licenses and intellectual property assignment agreements. We strive to protect the proprietary technologies that we believe are important to our business, including seeking and maintaining patent protection intended to cover our current and future products and technologies.
As of March 18, 2026, our patent portfolio included 19 issued patents, nine of which are in the U.S., one allowed patent application in the U.S., and 63 pending patent applications, 25 of which are in the U.S. (including provisional patent applications, not including PCT applications). The issued U.S. patents are expected to expire between 2030 and 2042, in each case taking into account awarded patent term adjustments and extensions, and assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity or other governmental fees. We have a total of 24 patent families, 19 of which are in the predictive maintenance field and five are related to imaging technology.
In January 2022, we entered into a patent cross-licensing arrangement with Japan-based Sumita Optical Glass, Inc., or Sumita, a specialty optical fiber technology company, pursuant to which we granted Sumita a non-exclusive license to one of our imaging patent families in return for payment of royalties and a grant-back license to Odysight.ai of Sumita’s patents and patent applications related to fiber optics illumination. To date, only an immaterial amount of royalties has accrued.
We often initially submit applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, as provisional patent applications. We sometimes continue by filing non-provisional patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, or the PCT, which is an international patent law treaty that provides a unified procedure for filing a single initial patent application to later seek patent protection for an invention in any number of the member states of the PCT. Although a PCT application does not itself issue as a patent, it acts as a placeholder allowing the applicant to seek protection in any of the member states through national-phase applications. In other cases, we file national applications claiming priority under the Paris Convention from the provisional patent applications.
We have trademark rights in our trade name and other brand elements in certain jurisdictions, including trademark applications and registrations in various jurisdictions around the world, including the U.S., Europe, Israel, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan and Korea.
We pursue the registration of domain names for websites that we use and that we consider material to the marketing of our products, including the odysight.ai domain.
We generally seek to enter into confidentiality agreements and proprietary rights agreements with our employees, consultants, contractors and suppliers and to control access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information and source code. However, we cannot guarantee that all applicable parties have executed such agreements. Such agreements can also be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach.
Intellectual property laws, procedures and restrictions provide only limited protection, and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated (see “Item 3 — Legal Proceedings”). Furthermore, the laws of certain countries do not protect intellectual property and proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and we therefore may be unable to protect our proprietary technology in certain jurisdictions.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or obtain and use our technology to develop products and services with the same functionality as our products. Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult. Our competitors could also independently develop technologies like ours, and our intellectual property rights may not be broad enough or early enough for us to prevent competitors from selling products and services incorporating those technologies. For more information regarding the risks relating to intellectual property, see “Item 1.A — Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Intellectual Property.”
Government Regulation
We are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and licensing requirements of U.S. federal, state, and local authorities, as well as those of Israel and other countries in which we operate. We are also required to obtain various licenses and permits from such authorities in connection with the operation of our business.
We manufacture and sell solutions that contain electronic components, and such components may contain materials that are subject to government regulation in both the locations where we develop, manufacture, and assemble our products, as well as the locations where we sell our products. Among other things, certain applicable laws and regulations require or may in the future require the submission of annual reports to certain governmental agencies certifying that such products comply with applicable performance standards, the maintenance of manufacturing, testing and distribution records, and the reporting of certain product defects to such regulatory agencies or consumers. If our products fail to comply with applicable regulations, we and/or our products could be subjected to a variety of enforcement actions or sanctions, such as product recalls, repairs or replacements, warning letters, untitled letters, safety alerts, injunctions, import alerts, administrative product detentions or seizures, or civil penalties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Since we plan to operate on a global basis, we will be required to continually monitor applicable laws and regulations and engage in an ongoing compliance process to ensure that we and our suppliers are in compliance with existing laws and regulations, even as they change over time. If there is an unanticipated or onerous new law or regulation that significantly impacts our use of various components or requires more expensive components, such law or regulation could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In addition, some of our customers may require that we comply with unique requirements specific to their operations. For example, there exist U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and International Civil Aviation Organization requirements for certain airplane models to be subject to CE certification, a regulatory standard that verifies certain products are safe for sale and use in much of Europe. These and other requirements are applicable to our solutions in various jurisdictions across the globe.
We are subject to a number of laws and regulations that involve matters central to our business. These laws and regulations involve privacy, data protection, intellectual property, competition and other subjects. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject are still evolving and are being tested in courts, and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate. Because global laws and regulations have continued to develop and evolve rapidly, it is possible that we may not be, or may not have been, compliant with each such applicable law or regulation.
As we expand our operations internationally, we expect to be subject to other laws and regulations governing our international operations, including regulations administered by the governments of Israel, the U.S. and the European Union, including applicable export control regulations, economic sanctions and embargoes on certain countries and persons, anti-money laundering laws, import and customs requirements and currency exchange regulations, collectively referred to as trade control laws. Failure to comply with anti-corruption laws and trade control laws could subject us to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, and to legal expenses.
Grants from the Israel Innovation Authority
On May 21, 2023, we were awarded a grant by the Israel Innovation Authority, or the IIA. The purpose of this grant is to support our production capabilities. Subject to our successfully achieving all predetermined milestones, the maximum grant amount that can be received is NIS 1 million (approximately $ 277,777 using the NIS-dollar exchange rate at the time of grant).
As of December 31, 2024, we received IIA royalty-bearing grants totaling approximately NIS 515,000 (approximately $130,000 at that time).
We are committed to paying royalties to the IIA at a rate of approximately 1.0% to 3.5% on sales proceeds from our products (and related know-how and services) that were developed, in whole or in part, in connection with the IIA royalty-bearing grants we received under IIA programs, up to the total amount of royalty-bearing grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar and bearing annual interest at rates prescribed by the IIA’s rules and guidelines.
We may, in the future, apply to receive additional grants from the IIA. However, we cannot predict whether we will receive any future grants, or the amounts or the terms and conditions of any such grants.
In addition, as a result of certain agreements between Xylo Technologies Ltd. (formerly Medigus Ltd.), or Xylo Technologies, and Odysight.ai Ltd., the IIA approved a transfer of IIA know-how developed by Xylo Technologies in the framework of the Bio Medical Photonic Consortium, or the Xylo Technologies Consortium. Accordingly, all rights and obligations with regard to the IIA under the Israeli Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in the Industry Law, 5744-1984, or the Innovation Law, in connection with such know-how, now apply to us. The rights and obligations within the framework of our activity in the Xylo Technologies Consortium continue to apply to us notwithstanding the termination of the Xylo Technologies Consortium and include, among other things, the following:
(i) The property rights to information which has been developed belongs to the Xylo Technologies Consortium member that developed it. However, the developing entity is obligated to provide the other members in the Xylo Technologies Consortium a license for the use of the new information, without consideration, provided that the other members do not transfer such information to any entity which is not a member of the Xylo Technologies Consortium. The provision of a license or of the right to use the new information to a third-party is subject to approval by the administration of the MAGNET Program at the IIA;
(ii) The Xylo Technologies Consortium member is entitled to register a patent for the new information which has been developed by it within the framework of its activity in the Xylo Technologies Consortium. The foregoing registration does not require approval from the administration of the MAGNET Program at the IIA; and
(iii) The know-how and technology developed under the program is subject to the restrictions set forth under the Innovation Law, including restrictions on the transfer of such know-how and any manufacturing rights with respect thereto, without first obtaining the approval of the IIA. Such approval may entail additional payments to the IIA, as determined under the Innovation Law and regulations.

In general, with regard to any IIA-funding, the Innovation Law requires, among other things, that the products developed as part of the programs under which the grants were given be manufactured in Israel, and restricts the ability to transfer know-how directly or indirectly funded by the IIA outside of Israel. A transfer for the purpose of the Innovation Law is generally interpreted very broadly and includes, among other things, any sale of the IIA-funded know-how, any license to develop the IIA-funded know-how or the products resulting from such IIA-funded know-how, grant of access to such knowhow, or any other transaction, which, in essence, involves a transfer of IIA-funded know-how. The transfer of IIA-funded know-how outside of Israel requires prior approval and may be subject to payment of a redemption fee to the IIA, calculated in accordance with a formula provided under the Innovation Law (which is subject to a cap of six times the total amount of the IIA grants received, plus interest). These restrictions may impair our ability to sell, license or otherwise transfer IIA-funded know-how outside of Israel.
In general, manufacturing of products developed with IIA-funded know-how outside of Israel also requires prior approval from the IIA. Even if we do receive approval to manufacture products developed with IIA-funded know-how outside of Israel, such transfer of manufacturing capacity outside of Israel may be subject to an increase in the amount of royalties payable, depending on the manufacturing volume that is performed outside of Israel, and to an increase in the rate of royalties. This restriction may impair our ability to outsource manufacturing or engage in our own manufacturing operations for those products or technologies.
The restrictions under the Innovation Law (including with respect to the restriction of the transfer of IIA-funded know-how and manufacturing outside of Israel) continue to apply even after payment of the full amount of royalties payable to the IIA in respect of grants. However, upon payment of the redemption fee on a transfer of IIA-funded know-how outside Israel, the obligations towards the IIA (including the obligation to pay royalties) and restrictions under the Innovation Law cease to apply.
We cannot be certain that any approval of the IIA will be obtained on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. We may not receive the required approvals should we wish to transfer IIA-funded know-how and/or manufacture products developed with IIA-funded know-how outside of Israel in the future. Furthermore, in the event that we undertake a transaction involving the transfer to a non-Israeli entity of IIA-funded know-how pursuant to a merger or similar transaction, the consideration available to our shareholders may be reduced by the amounts we are required to pay to the IIA. If we fail to satisfy the conditions of the Innovation Law, we may be required to refund the amounts of the grants previously received, together with interest and penalties, and may become subject to criminal charges.
Subject to prior approval of the IIA, we may transfer the IIA-funded know-how to another Israeli company. If the IIA-funded know-how is transferred to another Israeli entity, the transfer would still require IIA approval but will not be subject to the payment of the redemption fee (however, there may be an obligation to pay royalties to the IIA from the income of such sale transaction as part of the royalty payment obligation). In such case, the acquiring company would have to assume all of the applicable restrictions and obligations towards the IIA (including the restrictions on the transfer of know-how and manufacturing outside of Israel) as a condition to the IIA’s approval.
Investment by a foreign entity in an IIA-funded company, following which the non-Israeli entity becomes an “interested party” in the company (e.g., holds, directly or indirectly, at least 5% of the shares of the funded company or has a right to appoint a director), including an acquisition of 100% of the shares of an IIA-funded company, requires notification to the IIA of the transaction and an undertaking signed by the non-Israeli investor to comply with the Innovation Law.
Human Capital Resources
Our key human capital management objectives are to attract, retain and develop the highest quality talent throughout our company. To support these objectives, we strive to provide our employees good working conditions and competitive pay, as well as a wide range of benefits programs to eligible employees. We regularly evaluate our benefits programs and policies to meet present and future employee needs and desires. Programs and policies applicable to our employees generally include, but are not limited to, benefits programs, equity compensation plans, flexible work schedules, diversity and inclusion initiatives, professional development opportunities, paid time-off policies and recognition and rewards programs.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have three officers, which consist of a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Business Officer, all of whom are engaged on a full-time basis. As of the date of this Annual Report, we had 52 employees in full or part-time capacities. While most of our employees are all located in Israel, we also have employees in the U.S.
None of our employees are represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we maintain good relations with all our employees.
All of our employment agreements include customary provisions with respect to non-competition, assignment to us of intellectual property rights developed in the course of employment and confidentiality. Our consulting agreements with our agents and partners include provisions with respect to assignment to us of intellectual property rights developed in the course of their engagement as well as confidentiality. The enforceability of such provisions may be limited under applicable law.
Organizational History
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 22, 2013 under the name Intellisense Solutions Inc., or Intellisense. We were initially engaged in the business of developing web portals to allow companies and individuals to engage in the purchase and sale of vegetarian food products over the internet. However, we were unable to execute our original business plan, develop significant operations or achieve commercial sales.
On January 10, 2019, we formed Canna Patch Ltd., or Canna Patch, an Israeli corporation. Canna Patch did not have any operations and, on December 4, 2019, we sold 100% of our holdings in Canna Patch.
On September 16, 2019, Intellisense and Xylo Technologies entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which, on December 30, 2019, we acquired from Xylo Technologies all of the issued and outstanding share capital of ScoutCam Ltd. On December 31, 2019, we changed our name to ScoutCam Inc. Following this acquisition, we integrated and fully adopted the acquired miniaturized imaging business into the company as our primary business activity.
On December 1, 2019, we consummated a certain Amended and Restated Asset Transfer Agreement with Xylo Technologies, which transferred and assigned certain assets and intellectual property rights related to its miniaturized imaging business. On May 18, 2020, we entered into a certain Side Letter Agreement with Xylo Technologies, whereby the parties agreed to amend certain terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Transfer Agreement and related documents.
On April 20, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Intercompany Services Agreement with Xylo Technologies, which effectively amended and restated an intercompany services agreement dated May 30, 2019.
On June 5, 2023, we changed our name to Odysight.ai Inc. In addition, our trading symbol on the OTCQB was changed from “SCTC” to “ODYS”, effective as of February 13, 2024.
On February 28, 2024, we formed D. VIEW Ltd., a private company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Odysight.ai Inc., to act as a local agent for the defense market in Israel.
On January 9, 2025, we formed an additional wholly-owned subsidiary, Odysight.Ai Eu S.r.l., a private company organized under the laws of Italy.
On February 11, 2025, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ODYS”.
Risk factors

Risk Factor Summary
Investing in our securities involves substantial risk. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary may cause us to not realize the full benefits of our strengths or may cause us to be unable to successfully execute all or part of our strategy. Some of the more significant challenges include the following:
- We have a limited operating history and may not be able to successfully operate our business or execute our business plan.
- We have a history of losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
- We expect that we will need to raise additional capital before we can expect to become profitable from sales of our solutions. This additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain the necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.
- It is difficult to forecast our future performance, which may cause our financial results to fluctuate unpredictably.
- Backlog may not be realized or may not result in revenue or profit.
- Our sales cycles are long and unpredictable and require considerable time and expense before executing a customer agreement, which may make it difficult to predict when, if at all, we will obtain new customers and when we will generate revenue from those customers.
- Our future growth and success are highly dependent upon large-scale adoption of our solutions in the markets in which we compete.
- If we are unable to establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or enter into successful relationships with business targets and third parties to perform these services, we may not be successful in commercializing our products and technology.
- Sales to government entities and highly regulated organizations are subject to a number of challenges and risks.
- An agreement with one of our customers includes exclusivity provisions, and other agreements include limitations on our ability to sell products to other customers, and restrictions on the use of intellectual property. Such limitations may prevent us from selling certain products to third parties without prior consent of the customers, and may limit our ability to use certain elements of intellectual property developed by funds received under these agreements.
- If we are unable to ensure that our solutions interoperate with a variety of hardware and software platforms that are developed by others, including our partners, we may become less competitive and our business may be harmed.
- If we fail to scale our business operations or otherwise manage our future growth effectively as we attempt to grow our company, we may not be able to produce, market, service and sell our solutions successfully.
- We incorporate artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning, or ML, into some of our products. This technology is new and developing and may present both compliance and reputational risks.
- Failure to make competitive technological advances will put us at a disadvantage and may lead to negative operational and financial outcomes.
- We have three customers that account for a substantial portion of our revenues, and the results of our operations could be harmed were we to lose these customers or receive lower than expected purchase orders.
16
- Our reliance on third-party suppliers for most of the components of our products could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely and cost-effective manner.
- We may not be able to manage our strategic partners effectively.
- We face competition from providers of sensing, PdM and CBM solutions. If we cannot successfully compete with new or existing technologies or future developed products, our marketing and sales will suffer, and we may never be profitable.
- Our inability to retain key members of our senior management could impair our future success.
- The estimates and forecasts of market opportunity and market growth included in this Annual Report may prove to be inaccurate, and we cannot assure you our business will grow at similar rates, or at all, or that we will be able to address, fully or at all, the markets we believe represent our market opportunity.
- Adverse conditions in the aerospace, industrial, transportation and energy markets or the global economy more generally could have adverse effects on our results of operations.
- Our business could be adversely affected if we fail to maintain product quality and product performance at an acceptable cost or if we incur significant losses, increased costs or harm to our reputation or brand as a result of product liability claims or product recalls.
- We are subject to, and must remain in compliance with, numerous laws and governmental regulations across various countries concerning the manufacturing, use, distribution and sale of our vision-based sensor products. Some of our customers also require that we comply with other unique requirements relating to these matters.
- We and our third-party vendors face cybersecurity risks and may incur increasing costs in an effort to mitigate those risks, and if we fail to prevent data security breaches, there may be damage to our reputation, material financial penalties and legal liability, which would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- If we are unable to obtain, maintain and protect effective intellectual property rights for our products, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets.
- Intellectual property rights of third parties could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products, and we might be required to litigate or obtain licenses from third parties in order to develop or market our products. Such litigation or licenses could be costly or not available on commercially reasonable terms.
- The market price of our shares of common stock may be volatile or may decline steeply or suddenly regardless of our operating performance, and we may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid and may lose all or part of your investment.
- Sales of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause our share price to fall.
- If the ownership of our common stock continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you and other minority stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest.
- There can be no assurances that our common stock will not be subject to delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of Nasdaq.
- Our headquarters and other significant operations are located in Israel and therefore, our business, results of operation and financial condition may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.
Investing in our shares of common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to the other information included elsewhere in this Annual Report, including the consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before purchasing our shares of common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be negatively impacted. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock would likely decline and you might lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Condition
We have a limited operating history and may not be able to successfully operate our business or execute our business plan.
Although we were incorporated in 2013, we have only been pursuing our current business that is focused on the PdM and CBM markets only since 2021. Given our limited operating history, it is hard to evaluate our proposed business and prospects. Our proposed business operations will be subject to numerous risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties associated with early-stage enterprises. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
- the absence of a lengthy operating history in our current business;
- potential for ongoing operating losses;
- our ability to anticipate and adapt to a developing market(s);
- acceptance of our products in the markets we are targeting;
- introducing innovation to industries that are slow to adopt change;
- development risks and implementation of new software and algorithm for AI and cloud utilization;
- insufficient capital to fully realize our operating plan;
- a competitive environment;
- the ability to identify, attract, and retain qualified personnel; and
- operating in an environment that is highly regulated by a number of agencies.
Because we are subject to these risks, evaluating our business may be difficult, our business strategy may be unsuccessful and we may be unable to address such risks in a cost-effective manner, if at all. We have not earned a profit in any full fiscal year since our inception, and we cannot be certain as to when or if we will achieve or maintain profitability. If we are unable to successfully address these risks our business could be harmed.
We have a history of losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
We have incurred net losses nearly every year since our inception and every year since 2021, when we began pursuing our current business that is focused on the PdM and CBM markets. We have incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $63 million as of December 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had net losses of $17 million and $11.8 million, respectively.
We have devoted substantially all of our financial resources to the development of our solutions. We have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities. We do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future as we invest in our business, build capacity and ramp up operations, and we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve or be able to maintain profitability in the future. Failure to become profitable would materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. The amount of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of penetration in the markets we are targeting, the rate of our future expenditures and our continued ability to obtain funding through the issuance of our securities, strategic collaborations or grants. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we:
- continue the development of our products for a wider portfolio of products;
- establish a sales, marketing, distribution and technical support infrastructure to support the ramp up of our operations;
- seek to maintain, protect and expand our intellectual property portfolio;
- seek to attract and retain skilled personnel; and
- create additional infrastructure to support our operations as a public company and our product development.
18
We expect that we will need to raise additional capital before we can expect to become profitable from sales of our solutions. This additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.
Based on our current business plan, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements over at least the next 12 months from the date of this Annual Report. We nevertheless expect that we will need to raise additional capital before we can expect to become profitable from sales of our solutions and may raise additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons. In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of many factors that may currently be unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our products. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares of common stock to decline.
The incurrence of indebtedness could result in increased fixed payment obligations, and we may be required to agree to restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. We could also be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable, and we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or products or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects. Even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations. If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of our products or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
It is difficult to forecast our future performance, which may cause our financial results to fluctuate unpredictably.
During 2024 and 2025, we had three customers that accounted for approximately 98% of our revenues in the aggregate. A lack of a sufficient orders from new and existing customers may lead to a significant decrease in our revenues in the near term, which in turn could result in us engaging in certain cost-cutting measures. Furthermore, because of our short commercial operating history, and because the market for our products may rapidly evolve, it is hard for us to predict our future performance. Therefore, it may be difficult to evaluate our business and prospects and any predictions about our future performance may not be accurate.
Backlog may not be realized or may not result in revenue or profit.
Backlog is measured and defined differently by companies within our industry. We refer to “backlog” as our booked orders based on purchase orders or hard commitments but not yet recognized as revenue. Backlog is not a comprehensive indicator of future revenue and is not a measure of profitability. Orders included in backlog may be cancelled or rescheduled by customers. A variety of conditions, both specific to the individual customer and generally affecting the customer’s industry, may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were previously made or anticipated. Projects may remain in backlog for extended periods of time. Given these factors, our backlog at any point in time may not accurately represent the revenue that we will realize during any period, and our backlog as of the end of a fiscal year may not be indicative of the revenue we expect to earn in the following fiscal year. Inability to realize revenue from our backlog could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our sales cycles are long and unpredictable and require considerable time and expense before executing a customer agreement, which may make it difficult to predict when, if at all, we will obtain new customers and when we will generate revenue from those customers.
In the vision-based sensor markets which we are targeting, the decision to adopt our products generally requires the approval of multiple technical and business decision makers, including security, compliance, procurement, operations and IT. In addition, before a customer will commit to deploy our products at scale, they require extensive education about our products, multiple testing opportunities and engagement in protracted pricing negotiations. As a result, it is difficult to predict when we will obtain new customers and begin generating revenue from these customers.
In addition, the size of potential customers may lead to extended sales cycles. For instance, we invest resources into sales to large organizations that typically undertake a significant evaluation and negotiation process due to their size, organizational structure and approval requirements. Large organizations typically demand additional features, support services and pricing concessions during the negotiation process or require additional security management or control features. As part of our sales cycle, we may incur significant expenses before executing a definitive agreement with a prospective customer and before we are able to generate any revenue from such agreement. We have no assurance that the substantial time and money spent on our sales efforts will generate significant revenue. If conditions in the marketplace generally or with a specific prospective customer change negatively, it is possible that no definitive agreement will be executed, and we will be unable to recover any of these expenses. If we are not successful in targeting, supporting and streamlining our sales processes and if revenue expected to be generated from a prospective customer is not realized in the time period expected or not realized at all, our ability to grow our business, and our operating results and financial condition, may be adversely affected. If our sales cycles lengthen, our future revenue could be lower than expected, which would have an adverse impact on our operating results and could cause our stock price to decline.
Our future growth and success are highly dependent upon large-scale adoption of our solutions in the markets in which we compete.
While we are establishing ourselves as a leading vision-based sensor technology company, our future growth depends upon large-scale adoption of our solutions. Although we anticipate continued market penetration for our solutions, there is no guarantee of such future demand, or that our products will remain competitive. If our technology and products or any future product that we may develop does not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, or does not garner significant commercial appeal, we may not generate significant revenue and may not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance will depend on a number of factors, including:
- the cost, safety, efficacy/performance, perceived value and convenience of our technology and any current or future product that we may develop;
- the ability of third parties to enter into relationships with us;
- the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;
- the strength of marketing and distribution support for, and timing of market introduction of competing technology and products;
- government regulations and economic incentives;
- our ability to scale up our operations to meet anticipated demand; and
- publicity concerning our technology or products or competing technology and products.
20
Our efforts to penetrate industries and educate the marketplace regarding the benefits of our vision-based sensory technology, and reasons to seek the commissioning of products based on our technology, may require significant resources and may never be successful. Such efforts to educate the marketplace may require more resources than are required by conventional sensing technologies, and these resources may not be available to us.
If we are unable to establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or enter into successful relationships with business targets and third parties to perform these services, we may not be successful in commercializing our products and technology.
Given that we are a business-to-business, or B2B, and business-to-government, or B2G, company, our business is reliant on our ability to successfully attract potential business targets. Furthermore, we have a limited sales and marketing infrastructure and have limited experience in the sale, marketing or distribution of our technologies beyond the B2B and B2G model. To achieve commercial success for our technologies or any future developed product, we will need to establish a sales and marketing infrastructure or to out-license such future products.
In the future, we may consider building a focused sales and marketing infrastructure to market any developed products and potentially other products in the United States or elsewhere in the world. There are risks involved with establishing our own sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities. For example, recruiting and training a sales force could be expensive and time consuming and could delay any product launch. This may be costly, and our investment would be lost if we cannot retain or reposition our sales and marketing personnel.
Factors that may inhibit our efforts to commercialize any future products on our own include:
- we have not recruited adequate numbers of effective sales and marketing personnel;
- the challenge of sales personnel to obtain access to potential customers;
- the lack of complementary products to be offered by sales personnel or lack of product-market fit, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with more extensive product lines; and
- unforeseen costs and expenses associated with creating an independent sales and marketing organization.
If we are unable to establish our own sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for the markets we are targeting or enter into successful arrangements with third parties to perform these services, we will not be successful in commercializing our technologies or any future products we may develop, and our revenues and profitability may be materially adversely affected.
Sales to government entities and highly regulated organizations are subject to a number of challenges and risks.
We sell to governmental agency customers, as well as to customers in highly regulated industries such as defense. Sales to such entities are subject to a number of challenges and risks. Selling to such entities can be highly competitive, expensive and time consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance that these efforts will generate a sale. Government demand and payment for our products and services may be impacted by public sector budgetary cycles and funding reductions or delays, which may adversely affect public sector demand for our products and services. Government contracting requirements may change and restrict our ability to sell into the government sector. Government demand and payment for our solutions is affected by public sector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our products.
Further, governmental and highly regulated entities may demand contract terms that differ from our standard arrangements and may be less favorable than terms agreed to with other customers. Government entities and highly regulated organizations typically have longer implementation cycles, sometimes require acceptance provisions that can lead to a delay in revenue recognition, can have more complex IT and data environments and may expect greater payment flexibility from vendors.
Contracts with governmental entities may also include preferential pricing terms, such as “most favored customer” pricing. In the event that we are successful in being awarded a government contract, the award may be subject to appeals, disputes or litigation, including but not limited to bid protests by unsuccessful bidders.
As a government contractor or subcontractor, we must comply with laws, regulations and contractual provisions relating to the formation, administration and performance of government contracts, which affect how we and our partners do business with government agencies. As a result of actual or perceived noncompliance with government contracting laws, regulations or contractual provisions, we may be subject to non-ordinary course audits and internal investigations, which may prove costly to our business, divert management time or limit our ability to continue selling our products and services to our government customers. These laws and regulations may impose other added costs on our business, and failure to comply with these or other applicable regulations and requirements could lead to claims for damages from our partners, downward contract price adjustments or refund obligations, civil or criminal penalties, and termination of contracts and suspension or debarment from government contracting for a period of time with government agencies. Any such damages, penalties, disruption or limitation in our ability to do business with a government would adversely impact, and could have a material adverse effect on, our business, results of operations, financial condition, public perception and growth prospects.
Governmental and highly regulated entities may have statutory, contractual or other legal rights to terminate contracts with us or our partners for convenience or for other reasons. Any such termination may adversely affect our ability to contract with other government customers as well as our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. All these factors can add further risk to business conducted with these customers. If sales expected from a government entity or highly regulated organization for a particular period are not realized in that period or at all, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
An agreement with one of our customers includes exclusivity provisions, and other agreements include limitations on our ability to sell products to other customers, and restrictions on the use of intellectual property. Such limitations may prevent us from selling certain products to third parties without prior consent of the customers, and may limit our ability to use certain elements of intellectual property developed by funds received under these agreements.
A commercial agreements with one of our customers includes exclusivity provisions affecting our ability to sell the underlying product to third parties in the same segment, while certain other commercial agreements, with the Israeli Ministry of Defense for example, include restrictions on the sale of the products developed under these agreements, and limitations on the use of certain elements of intellectual property. Such agreements may also require payment of royalties to the Ministry of Defense in the event of sale of such products to third parties.
We believe that such exclusivity provisions and limitations promote trust with our customers and help facilitate the penetration of innovative new products and solutions. Such undertakings are typically limited to specific products or components, apply only in specific segments, and are limited in their duration. Such exclusivity provisions and limitations, however, may affect our ability to sell these products to third parties in the restricted markets or utilizing intellectual property developed under such agreements, which could slow or prevent our future growth.
If we are unable to ensure that our solutions interoperate with a variety of hardware and software platforms that are developed by others, including our partners, we may become less competitive and our business may be harmed.
Our solutions must integrate with a variety of hardware and software platforms, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our solutions to adapt to changes in hardware and software technologies. Third-party services and products are constantly evolving, and we may not be able to modify our solutions to assure their compatibility with that of other third parties as they continue to develop or emerge in the future, or we may not be able to make such modifications in a timely and cost-effective manner. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to disrupt the operations or compatibility of our solutions with their products or services, or exert strong business influence on our ability to, and terms on which we operate our solutions. Should any of our competitors modify their products or standards in a manner that degrades the functionality of our solutions or gives preferential treatment to our competitors or to competitive products, whether to enhance their competitive position or for any other reason, the interoperability of our solutions with these products could decrease, and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed. If we are not permitted or are unable to integrate with these or with other third-party applications in the future, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed.
If we fail to scale our business operations or otherwise manage our future growth effectively as we attempt to grow our company, we may not be able to produce, market, service and sell our solutions successfully.
We intend to expand our operations significantly, which will require hiring, retaining and training new personnel, controlling expenses, expanding existing production facilities and establishing new facilities, and implementing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. Failure to expand operational and financial systems in a timely or efficient manner may result in operating inefficiencies, which could increase costs and expenses to a greater extent than we anticipate and may also prevent us from successfully executing our business plan. We may not be able to offset the costs of operation expansion by leveraging the economies of scale from our growth in negotiations with our suppliers and contract manufacturers. Additionally, if we increase our operating expenses in anticipation of the growth of our business and this growth falls short of our expectations, our financial results will be materially adversely impacted.
If our business grows, we will have to manage additional product design projects, materials procurement processes and sales and marketing efforts for an increasing number of products, as well as expand the number and scope of our relationships with suppliers, distributors and end customers. If we fail to manage these additional responsibilities and relationships successfully, we may incur significant costs, which may materially adversely impact our operating results. Additionally, in our efforts to be first to market with new products with innovative functionality and features, we may devote research and development resources to products and product features for which a market does not develop quickly, or at all. If we are not able to predict market trends accurately, we may not benefit from such research and development activities, and our results of operations may suffer.
As our future development and commercialization plans and strategies develop, we expect to need additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial and legal personnel. Our management may need to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from our day-to-day activities and devote a substantial amount of time to manage these growth activities. In particular, a period of significant growth in the number of personnel could place a strain upon our management systems and resources. We may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations, which may result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, operational mistakes, loss of business opportunities, failure to deliver or timely deliver our products to customers, loss of employees and reduced productivity among remaining employees. In addition, our expected growth could require significant capital expenditures and may divert financial resources from other projects, such as the development of additional new products.
Our future will depend in part on the ability of our officers and other key employees to implement and improve financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage our workforce. Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to support our future operations. If our management is unable to effectively manage our growth, our expenses may increase more than expected, our ability to generate and/or grow revenue could be reduced and we may not be able to implement our business strategy.
Furthermore, we have no experience to date in high-volume manufacturing of our products and we cannot assure that we will be able to develop efficient, automated, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes, and reliable sources of component supply, that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, as well as the production volumes, required to successfully market our solutions as our operations expand. Any failure to effectively manage our growth could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We incorporate artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning, or ML, into some of our products. This technology is new and developing and may present both compliance and reputational risks.
We rely on AI and machine learning in the operation of some our vision-based sensing products. The AI models that we use are trained using various data sets. If our AI models are incorrectly designed or implemented or do not receive pictures or visual data, they may produce inaccurate or unreliable results, negatively impacting the performance and reliability of our solutions. The effectiveness of our AI models depends on the quality and completeness of the data used for training. If the data is incomplete, inadequate, or biased, it could lead to suboptimal model performance, impairing the functionality of our solutions. Any malfunction or unexpected behavior in our AI-driven systems could disrupt our operations, leading to increased downtime and higher maintenance costs for our customers, and potential loss of revenue. Additionally, failures in the performance of our AI models could damage our reputation, erode customer trust, and result in loss of business and negative publicity.
Failure to make competitive technological advances will put us at a disadvantage and may lead to negative operational and financial outcomes.
Continuing technological changes in the market for our solutions could make our products less competitive or obsolete, either generally or for particular applications. Our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce a variety of new capabilities and enhancements to our existing product and service offerings, as well as introduce a variety of new product offerings, to address the changing needs of the markets in which it offers products. Delays in introducing solutions and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products or enhancements at competitive prices may cause existing and potential customers to purchase our competitors’ products. If we are unable to devote adequate resources to develop new products or cannot otherwise successfully develop new products or enhancements that meet customer requirements on a timely basis, our products may no longer be as marketable as compared to competitors and we could lose a substantial portion of our market share in those products, resulting in a potential decline in our revenue and greater operating losses.
In addition, research and development activities are inherently uncertain, and as such, we might encounter practical difficulties in commercializing our research and development results, which could result in excessive research and development expenses or delays. If we are unable to keep up with technological developments in the industry and anticipate market trends, or if new technologies render our technologies or solutions obsolete, customers may no longer be attracted to our products. As a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
We have three customers that account for a substantial portion of our revenues, and the results of our operations could be harmed were we to lose these customers or receive lower than expected purchase orders.
During 2024 and 2025, we had three customers that accounted for approximately 98% of our revenues in the aggregate. A lack of a sufficient orders from new and existing customers may lead to a significant decrease in our revenues in the near term, which in turn could result in us engaging in certain cost-cutting measures. In addition, if we lose this or any of our other customers or we receive lower than expected purchase orders, our revenues would decline significantly, and our business would be harmed.
Our reliance on third-party suppliers for most of the components of our products could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely and cost-effective manner.
We rely on our third-party suppliers to obtain an adequate supply of quality components on a timely basis with favorable terms to manufacture our products. Some of those components that we sell are provided to us by a limited number of suppliers. We will be subject to disruptions in our operations if our sole or limited supply contract manufacturers decrease or stop production of components or do not produce components and products of sufficient quantity or quality. Alternative sources for our components will not always be available.
Most of the components and parts we use in our manufacturing operations are available from more than one source. However, we obtain certain components from single source suppliers. In the event of an extended failure of one or more of these suppliers, it is possible that we could experience an interruption in supply until we established new sources or, in some cases, implemented alternative processes. Any inability or delay in finding a suitable replacement supplier or suppliers could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. However, we perform periodic supply chain risk analysis and seek to procure required components to enable consistency in production of our solutions.
We are also subject to other risks inherent in the manufacturing of our products and their supply chain, including industrial accidents, natural disasters (including as a result of climate change), environmental events, strikes and other labor disputes, capacity constraints, disruptions in material or packaging supplies, global shortages, disruptions in supply chain or information technology, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites or suppliers, product quality control and safety issues, increase in commodity prices and energy costs, licensing requirements and other regulatory issues, as well as other external factors over which we have no control. If such an event were to occur, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, if we cannot supply current products or future potentially developed products due to a lack of components or are unable to utilize other components in a timely manner, our business will be significantly harmed. If inventory shortages occur, they could be expected to have a material adverse effect on our future revenues and ability to effectively project future sales and operating results.
We may not be able to manage our strategic partners effectively.
We have entered into, and we may continue to enter into, strategic alliances with third parties to gain access to new and innovative technologies and markets. These parties are often large, established companies. Negotiation of and performance under these arrangements involves significant time and expense, and we may not have sufficient resources to devote to our strategic alliances, particularly those with companies that have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. The anticipated benefits of these arrangements may never materialize and performing under these arrangements may adversely affect our results of operations.
Failure to manage our current partners effectively or enter into new strategic alliances may affect our success in executing our business plan and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any or all partnerships or may not realize them in the time frame expected.
We face competition from providers of sensing, PdM and CBM solutions. If we cannot successfully compete with new or existing technologies or future developed products, our marketing and sales will suffer, and we may never be profitable.
Competition among providers of sensing solutions is characterized by extensive research and development efforts and rapid technological progress. There are currently several companies that develop and provide monitoring solutions for PdM and CBM. These monitoring solutions can be the sensor itself, data collection and storage, AI processing or a combination of these capabilities. The PdM and CBM solutions are usually based on traditional sensing solutions such as vibration, temperature and acoustic sensors. Based on our research and discussions with customers, we believe these traditional sensing methods are limited in their ability to provide an in-depth view of the condition of the monitored components and usually alert on the occurrence of an anomaly when component failure has already occurred, which is too late in some cases. From an AI perspective, there are several vendors providing off-the-shelf AI capabilities which then require customization per market, use case and/or data source. We believe that our more holistic approach and reliance on vision-based solutions creates richer and more informative data, leveraged by AI and machine learning algorithms, enabling our customers to more effectively deploy predictive maintenance programs.
We compete primarily on the basis of product range, product features, industry certifications, reliability, brand, reputation, and service and support. We believe we have a competitive advantage as the sole company we are aware of that is developing and marketing vision-based sensing which target PdM and CBM applications, providing comprehensive solutions as well as superior products for vision systems across a broad range of markets, applications and geographies. However, we expect our competitors to continue to develop and introduce new products and to enhance their existing products, which could cause a decline in demand for our products. Our competitors may also improve their manufacturing processes or expand their manufacturing capacity, which could make it more difficult or expensive for us to compete successfully. In addition, our competitors could enter into exclusive arrangements with our existing or potential customers or suppliers, which could limit our ability, or make it significantly more expensive, to produce our products or to generate sales.
Some of our competitors may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to promoting and selling their products. Unlike many of our competitors who specialize in a single or limited number of product lines, we have a portfolio of product lines and must allocate resources across these businesses. As a result, we may invest less in certain areas of our business than our competitors invest in competing businesses, and our competitors may therefore have greater financial, technical and marketing resources available to them with respect to these businesses.
Some of our competitors may also incur fewer expenses than we do in creating, marketing and selling certain products and may face fewer risks in introducing new products to the market. This circumstance results from the nature of our business model, which is based on providing innovative and high-quality vision-based sensing products and therefore may require that we spend a proportionately greater amount on research and development than some of our competitors. If our pricing and other factors are not sufficiently competitive, or if there is an adverse reaction to our product decisions, we may lose market share in certain areas, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect against the potential hazards incident to our business.
We maintain property, product liability, cybersecurity, casualty and directors and officers’ liability insurance coverage, but such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential claims, including losses resulting from interruptions in our production capability, product liability claims relating to the products we manufacture or claims relating to safety incidents. Consistent with market conditions in the insurance industry, premiums and deductibles for some of our insurance policies have been increasing and may, in the future, increase substantially. In some instances, some types of insurance may become available only for reduced amounts of coverage, if at all. In addition, our insurers could deny coverage for claims. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured or that our insurers disputed, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our inability to retain key members of our senior management could impair our future success.
Our future success depends substantially on the continued services of our executive officers and certain other key employees, including, but not limited to, Yehu Ofer, our Chief Executive Officer, Einav Brenner, our Chief Financial Officer, and Eilam Sagi, our Chief Business Officer. If one or more of our executive officers were unable or unwilling to continue in their present position, we might not be able to replace them easily or at all. In addition, if any of our executive officers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose experience, know-how, key professionals and staff members as well as business partners. Some of these executive officers could develop vision-based sensor technologies that could compete with and take customers and market share away from us. Should we lose the services of any member of our senior management team or key personnel, replacing such personnel could involve a prolonged search, diverting management time and attention, and we may not be able to locate and hire a qualified replacement. We do not carry key-man insurance to mitigate the financial effect of losing the services of any member of our management team.
We rely on highly skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract, retain or motivate qualified personnel, we may not be able to operate our business effectively.
Our success depends in large part on continued employment of senior management and key personnel who can effectively operate our business, as well as our ability to attract and retain skilled employees. Competition for highly skilled management, technical, research and development and other employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. Our long-term incentive programs may not be attractive enough or perform sufficiently to attract or retain qualified personnel.
If a significant portion of our employees leave us, we might fail to effectively manage a transition to new personnel, or, if we fail to attract and retain qualified and experienced professionals on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our success also depends on our having highly trained financial, technical, R&D, sales and marketing personnel. We will need to continue to hire additional personnel as our business grows. A shortage in the number of people with these skills or our failure to attract them to our Company could impede our ability to increase revenues from our existing technology and services, ensure full compliance with international and federal regulations, or launch new product offerings and would have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Further, the volatility of our stock price may make our equity compensation less attractive to current and potential employees.
The estimates and forecasts of market opportunity and market growth included in this Annual Report may prove to be inaccurate, and we cannot assure you our business will grow at similar rates, or at all, or that we will be able to address, fully or at all, the markets we believe represent our market opportunity.
The estimates and forecasts of market size and opportunity and of market growth included in this Annual Report are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The estimates and forecasts in this Annual Report of the size of the markets that we may be able to address and the growth in these markets are subject to many assumptions and may prove to be inaccurate. Further, we may not be able to address fully the markets that we believe we can address, and we cannot be sure that these markets will grow at historical rates or the rates we expect for the future. Even if we are able to address the markets that we believe represent our market opportunity and even if these markets experience the growth we expect, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the estimates and forecasts of market size and opportunity and of market growth included in this Annual Report may not be indicative of our future growth.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine.
Our business is affected by the economic health of the global economy. If the conditions in the global economy remain uncertain or continue to be volatile, or if they deteriorate, including as a result of the impact of military conflicts, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, terrorism or other geopolitical events, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected. Furthermore, governments in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and Australia, among others, have each imposed export controls on certain products and/or financial and economic sanctions relating to Russia, including on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. Although we have no operations in Russia or Ukraine, we believe some shortages in materials, increased costs for raw material and other supply chain issues are at least partially attributable to the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to military conflicts, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, additional supply disruptions, lower consumer demand and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten many of our known risks described herein under “Risk Factors.”
International operations will expose us to additional market and operational risks, and failure to manage these risks may adversely affect our business and operating results.
In the future, we expect to derive a substantial percentage of our sales from international markets. Accordingly, we expect to face significant operational risks from doing business internationally, including:
- fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
- potentially longer sales and payment cycles;
- potentially greater difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
26
- potentially adverse tax consequences;
- reduced protection of intellectual property rights in certain countries, particularly in Asia and South America;
- difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, including cultural differences between countries and language barriers;
- laws and business practices favoring local competition;
- costs and difficulties of customizing products for foreign countries;
- compliance with a wide variety of complex foreign laws, treaties and regulations;
- a worldwide health crisis, such as a pandemic, which may cause us, third-party vendors and manufacturers and/or customers to temporarily suspend our or their respective operations in the affected city or country;
- tariffs, trade barriers and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell or develop our products in certain foreign markets; and
- being subject to the laws, regulations and the court systems of many jurisdictions.
Further, international trade conflicts could have negative consequences on the demand for our products and services outside of Israel. Other risks of doing business internationally include political and economic instability in the countries of our customers and suppliers, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, and increasing instances of terrorism worldwide. Some of these risks may be affected by Israel’s overall economic, political and military situation. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Operations in Israel – Our headquarters and other significant operations are located in Israel and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel” for further information.
Our failure to manage the market and operational risks associated with our international operations effectively could limit the future growth of our business and materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Trade tariffs, including those implemented by the U.S., may increase the costs of importing our products and increase our supply chain costs, which could potentially reduce profit margins and affect our competitive position.
Changes in U.S. or international social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the countries where we currently conduct our business could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Changes or proposed changes in U.S. or other countries’ trade policies may result in restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade.
Since 2025, the U.S. government has imposed, or is currently considering imposing, tariffs on certain products and trade partners, including Israel. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize a U.S. President to impose tariffs during peacetime national emergencies and that the challenge to the legality of the tariffs imposed under IEEPA (the “incremental tariffs”) was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of International Trade. In response to this ruling, the U.S. President signed a proclamation imposing a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026, and subsequently increased these tariffs to 15% on February 21, 2026. Section 122 tariffs are subject to a 150-day statutory limit unless extended by Congress. In addition, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has announced it will initiate new Section 301 investigations into trading partners’ unfair practices, which could result in additional tariffs.
Our current products are manufactured outside the United States, and, as a result, the trade tariffs, including those implemented by the U.S., may increase the costs associated with importing our finished products. Although we believe that such tariffs will not have a material impact on our business operations, the additional cost on goods imported to the U.S. as a result of the tariffs could directly affect our profit margins when borne by us, or, when borne by our U.S. customers, could effectively lead to a higher purchase price for our customers. Such an increase may drive our customers to seek local alternatives that do not carry the tariff burden, potentially decreasing the demand for our products and affecting our market share. Additionally, the U.S. trade tariffs may increase our supply chain costs, including the cost of components sourced from our suppliers in various countries due to abrupt supply and demand shifts. As a result of the consequences of this tariff policy, we may need to obtain components from other sources or third parties. Furthermore, the uncertainty and volatility introduced by these tariffs complicate decision making, planning and forecasting for our customers as well as for us, making it more difficult to predict future costs and financial outcomes accurately. The potential for further U.S. tariff changes and retaliatory tariffs or other actions by affected countries, and the increased volatility in global financial markets that could result, may exacerbate these challenges, making it difficult for us to predict future costs and financial outcomes accurately. Any of these factors may reduce our profit margins and affect our competitive position.
Changes in tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations or financial conditions.
We are subject to tax laws, regulations, and policies of several taxing jurisdictions. Changes in tax laws, as well as other factors, could cause us to experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rates and otherwise adversely affect our tax positions and/or our tax liabilities. In July 2025, legislation commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, which enacts significant changes to U.S tax and related laws, including but not limited to current deduction of domestic research expenses, increasing the limit of the deduction of interest expense to thirty percent of EBITDA and one hundred percent bonus depreciation on eligible property acquired after January 19, 2025. Further, many countries, and organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, have proposed implementing changes to existing tax laws. Any of these developments or changes in federal, state or international tax laws or tax rulings could adversely affect our effective tax rate and our operating results. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rates, tax payments or tax credits and incentives will not be adversely affected by these or other developments or changes in law.
Adverse conditions in the aerospace, industrial, transportation and energy markets or the global economy more generally could have adverse effects on our results of operations.
While we make strategic planning decisions based on the assumption that the aerospace, industrial, transportation and energy markets that we are targeting will grow, our business is dependent, in large part on, and directly affected by business cycles and other factors affecting the aerospace, industrial, transportation and energy markets and the global economy generally. Aerospace and transportation in particular are highly cyclical markets and depend on general economic conditions and other factors, including consumer spending and preferences, changes in interest rates and credit availability, consumer confidence, fuel costs, fuel availability, environmental impact, governmental incentives and regulatory requirements and political volatility, especially in energy-producing countries and growth markets. In addition, our production and sales are affected by our customers’ ability to continue operating in response to challenging economic conditions and in response to labor relations issues, regulatory requirements, trade agreements and other factors. Any significant adverse change in any of these factors may result in a reduction in sales of our solutions and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
General macro-economic conditions, such as a rise in interest rates, inflation in the cost of goods and services including labor, a recession or an economic slowdown in the United States or internationally, including as a result of a pandemic, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine military conflict or conflicts in the Middle East, could adversely affect demand for our solutions and make it difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities.
Global markets have in recent years experienced volatility and disruption due to interest rate and inflation increases as well as the continued escalation of geopolitical tensions. Although our business has not yet been materially negatively impacted by such inflationary pressures, we cannot be certain that neither we nor our customers will be materially impacted by continued inflationary pressures. We may find that we need to give higher than normal raises to employees or to start new employees at higher wage and/or benefit rates, while being unable to price the higher costs through to customers.
Risks Related to Regulation
Our business could be adversely affected if we fail to maintain product quality and product performance at an acceptable cost, or if we incur significant losses, increased costs or harm to our reputation or brand as a result of product liability claims or product recalls.
In order to maintain and increase our net sales and reach and sustain profitable operations, we must produce high-quality products on a large-scale basis at acceptable manufacturing costs and yields. If we are unable to maintain the quality and performance of our solutions at acceptable costs, our brand, the market acceptance of our products and our results of operations would suffer. As we regularly modify our product lines and introduce changes to our manufacturing processes or incorporate new raw materials, we may encounter unanticipated issues with product quality or production delays. Regulatory, safety or reliability developments, many of which may be outside of our control, could also cause delays or otherwise impair commercial adoption of our products, which would adversely affect our growth. While we engage in product testing in an effort to identify and address any product quality issues before we introduce products to market, unanticipated product quality or performance issues may be identified only after a product has been introduced and sold.
In addition, we face the risk of exposure to product liability or other claims, including class action lawsuits, in the event our products are, or are alleged to be, defective or have resulted in harm to persons or to property. We may in the future incur significant liabilities if product liability lawsuits against us are successful. We may also have to recall and/or replace defective products, which could also result in adverse publicity and loss of sales, and would result in us incurring costs connected with the recall, which could be material. Any losses not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Real or perceived quality issues, including those arising in connection with product liability lawsuits, warranty claims or recalls, could also result in adverse publicity, which could harm our brand and reputation and cause our sales to decline rapidly. In addition, any such issues may be seized on by competitors in efforts to increase their market share.
We are subject to, and must remain in compliance with, numerous laws and governmental regulations across various countries concerning the manufacturing, use, distribution and sale of our vision-based sensor products. Some of our customers also require that we comply with other unique requirements relating to these matters.
We develop, manufacture and sell a vision-based sensor solution that contains electronic components, and such components may contain materials that are subject to government regulation in both the locations where we develop, manufacture and assemble our products, as well as the locations where we sell our products. Among other things, certain applicable laws and regulations require or may in the future require the submission of annual reports to certain governmental agencies certifying that such products comply with applicable performance standards, the maintenance of manufacturing, testing and distribution records, and the reporting of certain product defects to such regulatory agencies or consumers. If our products fail to comply with applicable regulations, we and/or our products could be subjected to a variety of enforcement actions or sanctions, such as product recalls, repairs or replacements, warning letters, untitled letters, safety alerts, injunctions, import alerts, administrative product detentions or seizures, or civil penalties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Since we plan to operate on a global basis, we will be required to continually monitor applicable laws and regulations and engage in an ongoing compliance process to ensure that we and our suppliers are in compliance with existing laws and regulations, even as they change over time. If there is an unanticipated or onerous new law or regulation that significantly impacts our use of various components or requires more expensive components, such law or regulation could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, some of our customers may require that we comply with unique requirements specific to their operations. For example, there exist U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and International Civil Aviation Organization requirements for certain airplane models to be subject to CE certification, a regulatory standard that verifies certain products are safe for sale and use in much of Europe. These and other requirements are applicable for our solutions in various jurisdictions across the globe.
Our business may be adversely affected by changes in aerospace and transportation safety regulations or concerns that drive further regulation of the aerospace and transportation safety market.
Government safety regulations are an important factor for our business. Historically, these regulations have imposed ever-more stringent safety regulations for the aerospace and transportation industries. These safety regulations often require, or customers may demand, more safety features for relevant products being sold in such industries.
While we believe increasing aerospace and transportation safety standards will present a market opportunity for our vision-based sensor products, government safety regulations are subject to change based on a number of factors that are not within our control, including new scientific or technological data, adverse publicity regarding industry recalls and safety risks, accidents involving our products, domestic and foreign political developments or considerations and litigation relating to our products and our competitors’ products. Changes in government regulations, as well as changes or evolution in court doctrines in interpreting those regulations, especially in the aerospace and transportation industries, could adversely affect our business. If government priorities shift and we are unable to adapt to changing regulations or to court interpretations of those regulations, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
U.S. and international regulators impose more stringent compliance and reporting requirements in response to product recalls and safety issues in the automotive and aeronautic industry. As the mechanical components that carry our products go into production, we may become subject to stringent requirements, including a duty to report safety defects with our products, subject to strict timing requirements. Such rules and regulations may impose potentially significant civil penalties for violations, including the failure to comply with such reporting actions. If we cannot rapidly address any safety concerns or defects with our products, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We may be prohibited from selling our solutions in certain countries if we are unable to obtain Israeli authorization regarding the export of our products, or if current or future export laws limit or otherwise restrict our business.
As we expand our operations internationally, we may be prohibited from selling our solutions in certain countries if we are unable to obtain certain governmental authorizations required to comply with Israeli laws regulating the export of our products from Israel. The export regulations and the governing policies applicable to our business are subject to change. In some cases, explicit authorization from the Israeli government may be needed to export our products. We cannot provide assurance that such export authorizations will be available in the future for our solutions. If and when our operations expand into other markets, we may have to comply with other governments’ regulations regarding the export of our products. Non-compliance with applicable export regulations could potentially expose us to fines, penalties and sanctions. If we cannot obtain required government approvals under applicable regulations, we may not be able to sell our solution in certain international jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to comply with anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, we could be subject to penalties and other adverse consequences.
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, to Chapter 9 (sub-chapter 5) of the Israeli Penal Law, 5737-1977 and the Israeli Prohibition on Money Laundering Law, 5760-2000, collectively, the Israeli Anti-Corruption Laws, and to other anticorruption, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the jurisdictions in which we do business, both domestic and abroad. These laws generally prohibit us and our employees from improperly influencing government officials or commercial parties in order to obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or gain any advantage. The FCPA, the Israeli Anti-Corruption Laws and other applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws also may hold us liable for acts of corruption and bribery committed by our third-party business partners, representatives and agents. In addition, we leverage third parties to sell our products and conduct our business abroad. We and our third-party business partners, representatives and agents may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities and we may be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party business partners and intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, channel partners and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities.
These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. While we have policies and procedures to address compliance with such laws, we cannot provide complete assurance that our employees and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies or applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. Our potential exposure for violating these laws increases as our international presence expands and we increase sales and operations in foreign jurisdictions. Any violation of the FCPA, the Israeli Anti-Corruption Laws or other applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption laws and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, imposition of significant legal fees, loss of export privileges, severe criminal or civil sanctions, suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, substantial diversion of management’s attention, a decline in the market price of our common stock or overall adverse consequences to our reputation and business, all of which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Scrutiny of, and evolving expectations for, sustainability and environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, initiatives could increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Public companies have in recent years faced scrutiny related to ESG practices and disclosures from certain investors, capital providers, shareholder advocacy groups, other market participants and other stakeholder groups. Such scrutiny may result in increased costs, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our ESG practices and reporting do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations, we may be subject to investor or regulator engagement regarding such matters. Our failure to comply with any applicable ESG rules or regulations could lead to penalties and adversely impact our reputation, access to capital and employee retention. Such ESG matters may also impact our third-party contract manufacturers and other third parties on which we rely, which may augment or cause additional impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy and security laws, regulations, standards and other requirements could adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
The global data protection landscape is rapidly evolving, and we are or may become subject to numerous state, federal and foreign laws, requirements and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, retention and security of personal data. Implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet determine the impact future laws, regulations, standards or perception of their requirements may have on our business. This evolution may create uncertainty in our business, affect our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions or to collect, store, transfer use and share personal information, necessitate the acceptance of more onerous obligations in our contracts, result in liability or impose additional costs on us. The cost of compliance with these laws, regulations and standards is high and is likely to increase in the future. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or foreign laws or regulation, our internal policies and procedures or our contracts governing our processing of personal information could result in negative publicity, government investigations, fines and enforcement actions, claims by third parties and damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
As our operations and business grow, we may become subject to or affected by new or additional data protection laws and regulations and face increased scrutiny or attention from regulatory authorities. For example, the State of Israel has implemented data protection laws and regulations, including the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981. Although we work to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards, our contractual obligations and other legal obligations, these requirements are evolving and may be modified, interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another or other legal obligations with which we must comply. Any failure or perceived failure by us or our employees, representatives, contractors, consultants, collaborators or other third parties to comply with such requirements or adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
We and our third-party vendors face cybersecurity risks and may incur increasing costs in an effort to mitigate those risks, and if we fail to prevent data security breaches, there may be damage to our reputation, material financial penalties and legal liability, which would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on systems and websites, including some that are managed by third parties, such as cloud infrastructure, that allow for the storage and transmission of proprietary or confidential information regarding our customers, employees and others, including personal information. We face numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and confidential information, including malicious code embedded in open-source software, or misconfigurations, “bugs” or other vulnerabilities in commercial software that is integrated into our (or our suppliers’ or service providers’) IT systems, products or services. The risk of a data security breach or a disruption has generally increased in number, intensity and sophistication over time. Techniques used to compromise or sabotage systems change frequently, may originate from less regulated and remote areas of the world and be difficult to detect, and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may be vulnerable to, and unable to anticipate or detect data security breaches and data loss. In addition, data security breaches can also occur as a result of a breach by us or our employees or by persons with whom we have commercial relationships that result in the unauthorized release of personal or confidential information.
We have implemented various controls, systems and processes intended to secure our systems and the information on such systems. However, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. For example, these security measures could be compromised as a result of a security breach by an unauthorized person, employee error, malfeasance, faulty password management or other irregularity and result in persons obtaining unauthorized access to our systems. Even if the vulnerabilities that may lead to the foregoing are identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate due to attackers using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, avoid detection and remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. A breach or circumvention of our systems or the systems of third parties, including by ransomware, social engineering, phishing or other attacks, could result in disruptions to our business operations; unauthorized access to (or the loss of company access to) competitively sensitive, confidential, personal or other critical data or systems; loss of customers; financial losses; regulatory investigations, enforcement actions and fines; and misuse or corruption of critical data, personal data and proprietary information, any of which could be material.
In addition to our own databases, we use third-party service providers to store, process and transmit confidential, personal or sensitive information on our behalf. A data security breach could occur in the future either at their location or within their systems that could affect our personal or confidential information. Similar security risks exist with respect to our third-party vendors that we rely on for aspects of our IT support services, pickup and delivery services, and administrative functions, including the systems owned, operated or controlled by other unaffiliated operators, to the extent we rely on such other systems to deliver services to our customers. Our ability to monitor our third-party service providers’ data security is limited. As a result, we are subject to the risk that cyber-attacks on, or other security incidents affecting our third-party service providers may adversely affect our business, even if an attack or breach does not directly impact our systems. It is also possible that security breaches sustained by, or other security incidents affecting our competitors could result in negative publicity for our entire industry that indirectly harms our reputation and diminishes demand for our products and services. Practices regarding the collection, use, storage, transmission and security of personal information have recently come under increased public scrutiny. Any failure or perceived failure by us to prevent information security breaches or to comply with privacy policies or privacy-related legal obligations could cause our customers to lose trust in us and our services. Any perception that the confidentiality or privacy of information is unsafe or vulnerable when using our services could damage our reputation and substantially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The secure processing, storage, maintenance and transmission of critical customer and business information are vital to our operations and our business strategy. Although we devote resources to protecting such information, and take what we believe to be reasonable measures, including a formal and dedicated IT department and limiting the amount of any data we store, to protect sensitive information from compromises such as unauthorized access, disclosure or modification or lack of availability, our information technology and infrastructure may still be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or viruses or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
If we are unable to obtain, maintain and protect effective intellectual property rights for our products, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets.
Historically, we have relied on patents, copyrights, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect the intellectual property related to our technologies and products. Our success depends in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection in the United States and in other countries with respect to our proprietary technologies and products.
We have sought to protect our proprietary position by filing patent applications in Israel, the United States and other countries with respect to our novel technologies and products, which are important to our business. Patent prosecution is expensive and time consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection.
Our patent portfolio consists of an aggregate of 18 patents and 63 pending patent applications, as described in “Business — Intellectual Property.” We cannot offer any assurances about which, if any, patent applications will issue, the breadth of any such patent or whether any issued patents will be found invalid or otherwise unenforceable, or will be threatened by third parties. Any successful opposition or other challenge to these patents or to any other patents owned by or licensed to us after patent issuance could deprive us of rights necessary for the successful commercialization of any new products that we may develop.
Further, there is no assurance that all potentially relevant prior art relating to our patent applications has been found, which can invalidate a patent or prevent a patent from issuing from a pending patent application. Even if patents do successfully issue, and even if such patents cover our products, third parties may challenge their validity, enforceability or scope, which may result in such patents being narrowed, found unenforceable or invalidated. Furthermore, even if they are unchallenged, our patent applications and any future patents may not adequately protect our intellectual property, provide exclusivity for our new products or prevent others from designing around our claims. Any of these outcomes could impair our ability to prevent competition from third parties, which may have an adverse impact on our business.
If we cannot obtain and maintain effective patent rights for our products, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business and results of operations would be harmed.
Intellectual property rights of third parties could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products, and we might be required to litigate or obtain licenses from third parties in order to develop or market our products. Such litigation or licenses could be costly or not available on commercially reasonable terms.
It is inherently difficult to conclusively assess our freedom to operate without infringing on third-party rights. Our competitive position may be adversely affected if existing patents or patents resulting from patent applications by third parties or other third-party intellectual property rights are held to cover our products or elements thereof, or our manufacturing or uses relevant to our development plans. In such cases, we may not be in a position to develop or commercialize our products unless we successfully pursue litigation to nullify or invalidate the third-party intellectual property right concerned or enter into a license agreement with the intellectual property right holder, if available on commercially reasonable terms. There may also be published or yet unpublished pending patent applications by third parties that, if they result in issued patents, could be alleged to be infringed by our new products. If such an infringement claim should be brought against us and be successful, we may be required to pay substantial damages, be forced to abandon our new products or seek a license from any patent holders. No assurances can be given that a license will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
It is also possible that we have failed to identify relevant third-party patents or applications. Patent applications in the United States and in many other countries are published approximately 18 months after the earliest filing date for which priority is claimed, with such earliest filing date being commonly referred to as the priority date. Therefore, patent applications covering our new products or solution technologies could have been filed by others without our knowledge. Additionally, pending patent applications which have been published can, subject to certain limitations, be later amended in a manner that could cover our solution technologies, our new products or the use of our new products. Third-party intellectual property right holders may also actively bring infringement claims against us. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully settle or otherwise resolve such infringement claims. If we are unable to successfully settle future claims on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to engage in or continue costly, unpredictable and time-consuming litigation and may be prevented from or experience substantial delays in pursuing the development of and/or marketing our new products. If we fail in any such dispute, in addition to being forced to pay damages, we may be temporarily or permanently prohibited from commercializing our new products that are held to be infringing. We might, if possible, also be forced to redesign our new products so that we no longer infringe the third-party’s intellectual property rights. Any of these events, even if we were ultimately to prevail, could require us to divert substantial financial and management resources that we would otherwise be able to devote to our business, and our business could suffer as a result.
Patent policy and rule changes could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of any issued patents.
Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States and other countries may diminish the value of any patents that may issue from our patent applications or narrow the scope of our patent protection. The laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Publications of discoveries in scientific literature often lag behind actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. We therefore cannot be certain that we were the first to file the invention claimed in our owned and licensed patents or pending applications, or that we or our licensor were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. Assuming all other requirements for patentability are met, in the United States prior to March 15, 2013, the first to make the claimed invention without undue delay in filing is entitled to the patent, while outside the United States, the first to file a patent application is entitled to the patent. Since March 15, 2013, the United States has moved to a first to file system. Changes to the way patent applications will be prosecuted could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of any issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our intellectual property, which could be expensive, time consuming, and unsuccessful.
Competitors may or might have infringed our intellectual property. If we were to initiate legal proceedings against a third-party to enforce a patent covering one of our products, the defendant could counterclaim that the patent covering our products is invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of patentable subject matter, novelty, non-obviousness or enablement. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld relevant information from the USPTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. The validity of U.S. patents may also be challenged in post-grant proceedings before the USPTO. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable.
Derivation proceedings initiated by third parties or brought by us may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions and/or their scope with respect to our patent or patent applications or those of our licensors. An unfavorable outcome could require us to cease using the related technology or to attempt to license rights to it from the prevailing party. Our business could be harmed if the prevailing party does not offer us a license on commercially reasonable terms. Our defense of litigation or interference proceedings may fail and, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and distract our management and other employees. In addition, the uncertainties associated with litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our research programs, license necessary technology from third parties, or enter into development partnerships that would help us bring our new products to market.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised due to disclosure during this type of litigation. There could also be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of our shares of common stock.
We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of our intellectual property.
We may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators, partners or other third parties have an interest in, or right to compensation, with respect to our current patent and patent applications, future patents or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor. For example, we may become involved in inventorship disputes arising from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are or were involved in developing our products or from conflicting, ambiguous or complex legal clauses. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship or claiming the right to compensation. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, valuable intellectual property. Such an outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on products or technologies, as well as monitoring their infringement in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. In addition, the scope of protection we obtain in various countries may be different or narrower than the scope obtained in the United States. Therefore, our intellectual property rights in some countries can be less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States or the laws of the State of Israel.
A substantial part of our commercial success will depend on our ability to maintain, establish and protect our intellectual property assets, maintain trade secret protection, register patents and trademarks and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties throughout the world. Our patent portfolio consists of an aggregate of 18 patents and 63 pending patent applications (including provisional patent applications) filed or registered in various jurisdictions worldwide, as described in “Business — Intellectual Property.”
Competitors may use our technologies to develop their own products in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection, and may also export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with our products. Future patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.
Our success depends, at least in part, on our ability to protect our core technologies and intellectual property. Failure to adequately protect our technologies and intellectual property could result in competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some or all of our competitive advantage and a decrease in revenue which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Patent, trademark, and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. Some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States or the State of Israel. Further, some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of our offerings may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions and foreign countries. Policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions may be difficult or impossible. Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States or Israel. Changes in the law or adverse court rulings may also negatively affect our ability to prevent others from using our technology.
Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the marketing of competing products in violation of our intellectual property rights. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our future patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, put our patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to monitor and enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate or insufficient to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license. We use machine learning, artificial intelligence and automated decision making in our research and development process. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights related to products or services created by or based exclusively on machine learning, artificial intelligence and automated decision making.
In addition, our solutions use machine learning, artificial intelligence and automated decision making technologies, including proprietary artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms relying in part on open-source third-party software, and we make significant investments to continuously improve the use of such technologies. There are significant risks involved in developing, maintaining and deploying machine learning, artificial intelligence and automated decision making technologies and there can be no assurance that the usage of such technologies will always enhance our products or services or be cost effective and more generally beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. In particular, if these artificial intelligence or machine learning models or automated decision making technologies are incorrectly designed or implemented; trained or reliant on incomplete, inadequate, inaccurate, biased or otherwise poor quality data or on data to which we do not have sufficient rights; and/or are adversely impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, cybersecurity threats or material performance issues, the performance of our products, services, and business, as well as our reputation and the reputations of our customers, could suffer or we could incur liability through the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party or through other civil claims. Further, our ability to continue to develop or use such models or technologies may be dependent on access to specific third-party software and infrastructure, such as processing hardware or third-party artificial intelligence models, and we cannot control the availability or pricing of such third-party software and infrastructure. In addition, market acceptance and consumer perceptions of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies is uncertain at this point.
A number of aspects of intellectual property protection in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning are currently under development, and there is uncertainty and ongoing litigation in different jurisdictions as to the degree and extent of protection warranted for artificial intelligence and machine learning systems and relevant system inputs and outputs. If we fail to obtain protection for the intellectual property rights concerning our automated decision making, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, or later have our intellectual property rights invalidated or otherwise diminished, our competitors may be able to take advantage of our research and development efforts to develop competing products.
We rely on licenses to use the intellectual property rights of third parties. If we fail to comply with our obligations in our intellectual property licenses with third parties, we could lose rights that are important to our business.
We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on certain intellectual property that is licensed from third-party licensors, including licenses to artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Such licensors may be infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others or may not have sufficient rights to the licensed technology in all jurisdictions in which we may operate. Disputes with licensors over uses or terms could result in the payment of additional royalties or penalties by us, cancellation or non-renewal of the underlying license or litigation. In the event that we cannot renew and/or expand existing licenses, we may be required to discontinue or limit our use of the operations, products or offerings that include or incorporate the licensed intellectual property or technology. Any such discontinuation or limitation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The market price of our shares of common stock may be volatile or may decline steeply or suddenly regardless of our operating performance, and we may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid and may lose all or part of your investment.
The market price of our shares may fluctuate or decline significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
- actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenues or other operating results;
- variations between our actual operating results and the expectations of securities analysts, investors and the financial community;
- any forward-looking financial or operating information we may provide to the public or securities analysts, any changes in this information or our failure to meet expectations based on this information;
- actions of securities analysts who initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow us or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
- additional shares being sold into the market by us or our stockholders, or the anticipation of such sales, including if certain of our stockholders sell shares into the market when the applicable “lock-up” period ends for such stockholders;
- announcements by us or our competitors of significant products or features, innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, divestitures or other dispositions;
- loss of relationships with significant customers;
- changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of companies in our industry, including our competitors;
- loss of services from members of management or employees or difficulty in recruiting additional employees;
- future issuances of common stock or other securities;
- worsening of global economic conditions and reduction in demand for our products;
- price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of general economic trends;
- lawsuits threatened or filed against us, or events that negatively impact our reputation;
- current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including Israel’s war or conflicts with Iran and terrorist organizations in the Middle East or other geopolitical events;
- sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in response to global conflicts, including the one in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by affected countries and others could exacerbate market and economic instability;
- the impact of a pandemic on us and the national and global economies;
- developments in new legislation and pending lawsuits or regulatory actions, including interim or final rulings by judicial or regulatory bodies; and
- general market conditions and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

In addition, extreme price and volume fluctuations in the stock markets have affected and continue to affect the stock prices of many companies. Often, their share prices have fluctuated in ways unrelated or disproportionate to their operating performance. In the past, securities class action litigation hasoften been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources. It could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.
An active, liquid trading market for our shares of common stock may not develop or be sustained.
On February 11, 2025, our shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ODYS”. We cannot guarantee an active public market for our shares of common stock will develop or be sustained. If an active and liquid trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling or may not be able to sell any of the shares that you purchase.
Sales of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause our share price to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through a future sale of, or pay for acquisitions using, our equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our shares of common stock.
Directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and affiliated entities own a significant percentage of our capital stock, and they may make decisions that our stockholders do not consider to be in their best interests.
As of March 18, 2026, our directors, executive officers, principal stockholders, and affiliated entities may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 75% of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, if some or all of such parties act together, they would have the ability to exert substantial influence over the election of our board of directors and the outcome of issues requiring approval by our stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise recover a premium for their shares over current market prices. This concentration of ownership and resulting influence in management and/or board decision-making could also harm the price of our capital stock by, among other things, discouraging a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our capital stock (whether by making a tender offer or otherwise) or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
If the ownership of our common stock continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you and other minority stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest.
As of March 18, 2026, Moshe (Mori) Arkin, a member of our board of directors, beneficially owns approximately 42% of our common stock, holds approximately 32% of our current voting power and may exercise warrants and options which could increase his voting power to 42%. As a result, Mr. Arkin will likely control any action requiring a stockholder vote, including: the election of directors; mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and other decisions affecting our capital structure; the amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws; and our winding up and dissolution. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by our other stockholders. The interests of Mr. Arkin may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control. In addition, Mr. Arkin may seek to cause us to take courses of action that, in his judgment, could enhance his investment in us, but which might involve risks to our other stockholders or adversely affect us or our other stockholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline or stockholders might not receive a premium over the then-current market price of our common stock upon a change in control. In addition, this concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in a company with significant stockholders.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our common stock as a source for any future dividend income. Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our wholly-owned subsidiary Odysight.ai Ltd., our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they adversely change their recommendations or publish negative reports regarding our business or shares of common stock, our share price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our shares of common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. We do not have any control over these analysts and we cannot provide any assurance that analysts will cover us or provide favorable coverage. If any of the analysts who may cover us adversely change their recommendation regarding our shares of common stock, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our share price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.
Anti-takeover provisions contained in our articles and bylaws, as well as provisions of Nevada law, could impair a takeover attempt.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws currently contain provisions that, together with Nevada law, could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents presently include provisions such as providing for a “staggered” board of directors in which only one-third (1/3) of the directors can be elected in any year, and limiting the liability of, and providing indemnifications to, our directors and officers. These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of our Company or changes in our management.
As a Nevada corporation, we may also become subject to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.378 through 78.3793, which prohibit an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing specific threshold ownership percentages, unless the acquirer obtains the approval of the stockholders of the issuer corporation. The first such threshold is the acquisition of at least one-fifth, but less than one-third of the outstanding voting power of the issuer. We may become subject to the above referenced provisions if we have 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom are residents of the State of Nevada, and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
Any provision of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our bylaws or Nevada law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control of our Company could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
If we fail to comply with the rules and regulations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us may be harmed.
We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls. Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that will need to be evaluated frequently. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
There can be no assurances that our common stock will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of Nasdaq.
Shares of our common stock currently trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “ODYS”. Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from Nasdaq) would make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.
Risks Related to our Operations in Israel
Our headquarters and other significant operations are located in Israel and therefore our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.
Our offices and management team are located in Israel. Accordingly, our business and operations may be affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its neighboring countries and terrorist organizations active in the region. These conflicts have involved missile strikes, hostile infiltrations and terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, which from time to time have negatively affected business conditions in Israel.
In October 2023, Hamas launched a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets adjacent to the Gaza Strip in southern Israel. Israel subsequently declared war and commenced a military campaign against Hamas. While the parties reached a framework in October 2025 that contemplates a potential permanent end to the war with Hamas, there can be no assurance that any ceasefire will be sustained or will result in a lasting resolution. Furthermore, Israel has experienced hostilities on other fronts, including with Hezbollah along Israel’s northern border, attacks and threats from the Houthis in Yemen and two major direct confrontations with Iran. The security situation escalated significantly in late February 2026 when Israel and the United States preemptively attacked Iran to eliminate its nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. As part of this conflict, Iran launched missile and drone attacks toward population centers and military installations in Israel, Europe and neighboring countries in the Gulf region, and also launched counter-strikes against U.S. forces and allied bases throughout the Gulf region. In early March 2026, Hezbollah joined the conflict and carried out missile attacks against Israel, leading to Israeli retaliatory strikes and limited ground incursions. The conflict between Israel, Iran and Hezbollah is currently ongoing and developing. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. Continued military escalation, retaliatory actions or broader regional involvement may adversely affect economic conditions, disrupt markets and create uncertainty that could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
These hostilities have included missiles and drones being fired against civilian targets in areas where our employees and business partners are located. Although these conflicts have not had a material adverse effect on our business to date, we have experienced disruptions to work routines, periodic travel limitations and occasional rocket fire requiring employees at our Omer and Ramat Gan offices to take temporary shelter. Our offices were closed on certain days during the current conflict with Iran and Hezbollah pursuant to instructions from Israel’s Home Front Command. To mitigate these effects, we have adopted work-from-home measures, increased employee overtime and utilized third-party outsourcing where necessary. Furthermore, many of our employees and executives are obligated to perform military reserve duty. Since October 2023, several of our executives, including our CEO, have been periodically called up to active duty. Our operations could be disrupted by future call-ups and by the absence of a significant number of our employees or key management members.
The ongoing conflict also threatens Israel’s economy, as evidenced by credit rating downgrades by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s in late 2024. Because the intensity and duration of the security situation remain difficult to predict, any extension or expansion of the war to other fronts could impact Israel’s economy in general, harm our operations and disrupt our ability to raise capital.
Furthermore, parties with whom we do business may sometimes decline to travel to Israel during periods of heightened unrest or tension, forcing us to make alternative arrangements when necessary to meet our business partners. In addition, some countries restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies. There have been increased efforts by countries, activists and organizations to boycott Israeli goods and services. This includes specific efforts targeting Israeli defense companies, such as attempts to ban their participation in industry conferences. Such actions could materially and adversely impact our business and supply chains.
Finally, our insurance policies do not cover losses that may occur as a result of war and terrorism. While the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages caused by such acts, there is no assurance this coverage will be maintained or will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any significant damage to our facilities or disruption of trade between Israel and its trading partners could have a material adverse effect on our business.
It may be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce any judgments obtained against us or some of our directors or officers.
It may be difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against any of our officers and directors who are based in Israel. It may not be possible for United States investors to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under federal securities laws. Moreover, we have been advised that Israel does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and Israel would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of the federal securities laws. Even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that the Israeli law, and not U.S. law, is applicable to the claim. Further, if U.S. law is found to be applicable, certain content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process, and certain matters of procedure would still be governed by the Israeli law. Consequently, you may be unable to pursue remedies under U.S. federal and state securities laws against us or any of our non-U.S. directors or officers.
Exchange rate fluctuations between foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar may negatively affect our earnings.
Our reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Our revenues are currently primarily payable in U.S. dollars and we expect our future revenues to be denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. However, some of our expenses are in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) and as a result, we are exposed to the currency fluctuation risks relating to the recording of our expenses in U.S. dollars. As a result, our operating results are exposed primarily to movements in the USD/NIS exchange rate. Appreciation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar increases the U.S. dollar cost of our shekel-denominated expenses and may adversely impact our net loss or net income (if any). We have only recently decided to enter into currency hedging transactions. These measures, however, may not adequately protect us from material adverse effects.
Foreign exchange rates may fluctuate due to many factors, including interest-rate differentials between markets, capital flows, monetary policy decisions, geopolitical events, global macroeconomic developments and investor sentiment toward Israel and regional markets. These factors may cause the NIS to appreciate or depreciate against the U.S. dollar independent of local inflation levels. If the NIS strengthens without a corresponding increase in our foreign-currency revenues, our U.S. dollar-measured costs will rise.
Exchange rate movements have impacted and may continue to impact our consolidated revenues and operating results. It is particularly difficult to forecast exchange rate movements and unanticipated currency fluctuations have affected and could continue to affect our financial results and cause our results to differ from investor expectations or our own guidance in any future periods. Volatility in exchange rates and global financial markets is expected to continue due to the ongoing global political and economic uncertainty.
The value of the NIS relative to the U.S. dollar and other currencies has fluctuated significantly. For example, the shekel appreciated on average by 12.5% relative to the U.S. dollar in 2025, after depreciating by 0.5% in 2024 and by 3.1% in 2023, thereby increasing, in 2025, the U.S. dollar cost of our shekel-denominated expenses. Any significant revaluation of the NIS may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. Fluctuations in the NIS exchange rate, or even the appearance of instability in such exchange rate, could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.
Certain technology developed and used by us received Israeli government grants for certain research and development activities. The terms of those grants require us to satisfy specified conditions in addition to repayment of the grants upon certain events.
The research and development efforts that contributed to certain technology used by us was financed in part through grants from the IIA, to Xylo Technologies, which was subsequently transferred to Odysight.ai Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary. The terms of such grants require us to comply with the requirements of the Innovation Law. When a company develops know-how, technology or products using IIA grants, the terms of these grants and the Innovation Law restrict the transfer outside of Israel of such know-how, and the manufacturing or manufacturing rights of such products, technologies or know-how, without the prior approval of the IIA. Therefore, if aspects of our technologies are deemed to have been developed with IIA funding, the discretionary approval of an IIA committee would be required for any transfer to third parties outside of Israel of know-how or manufacturing or manufacturing rights related to those aspects of such technologies. We may not receive those approvals, which would prevent such transfers and therefore limit the flexibility of our business operations outside of Israel. Furthermore, the IIA may impose certain conditions on any arrangement under which it permits us to transfer technology or development out of Israel.
The transfer of IIA-supported technology or know-how or manufacturing or manufacturing rights related to aspects of such technologies outside of Israel may involve the payment of significant penalties and other amounts, depending upon the value of the transferred technology or know-how, the amount of IIA support, the time of completion of the IIA-supported research project and other factors. These restrictions and requirements for payment may impair our ability to sell our technology assets outside of Israel or to outsource or transfer development or manufacturing activities with respect to any product or technology outside of Israel. Furthermore, the consideration available to our stockholders in a transaction involving the transfer outside of Israel of technology or know-how developed with IIA funding (such as a merger or similar transaction) may be reduced by any amounts that we are required to pay to the IIA.
We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.
A significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees in the course of their employment for us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee in the course and as a result of or arising from his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions,” which belong to the employer, absent a specific agreement between the employee and employer giving the employee service invention rights. The Patent Law also provides that if there is no such agreement between an employer and an employee, the Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee, or the “Committee”, a body constituted under the Patent Law, will determine whether the employee is entitled to remuneration for his inventions. Recent case law clarifies that the right to receive consideration for “service inventions” can be waived by the employee and that in certain circumstances, such waiver does not necessarily have to be explicit. The Committee will examine, on a case-by-case basis, the general contractual framework between the parties, using interpretation rules of the general Israeli contract laws. Further, the Committee has not yet determined one specific formula for calculating this remuneration (but rather uses the criteria specified in the Patent Law). Although we generally enter into assignment-of-invention agreements with our employees pursuant to which such individuals assign to us all rights to any inventions created in the scope of their employment or engagement with us, we may face claims demanding remuneration in consideration for assigned inventions. As a consequence of such claims, we could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties to our current and/or former employees, or be forced to litigate such claims, which could adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.
Cybersecurity
As filed, 3,438 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy. We depend on software applications, information technology systems, computing infrastructure and cloud service providers to operate our business. Certain of these systems are managed, hosted, provided or used by third parties to assist in conducting our business and which have their own cybersecurity measures in place. We are currently working to ensure that we satisfy generally applicable industry standards and best practice methods for the assessment, identification and management of risks from cybersecurity threats that may jeopardize our line of business or may pose a risk to our information technology systems, including from third parties with whom we work. To further enhance our understanding of potential threats and prioritize our security efforts, we conducted a comprehensive cybersecurity threat survey in 2024, which included a review of cybersecurity threats. Based on the findings of this survey, we are actively implementing recommended security measures to mitigate identified risks, with such implementation being conducted with the support and expertise of a professional services company serving as our outsourced cybersecurity partner.
Our cybersecurity team is composed of our Information Security Coordinator, who has several years of experience overseeing cybersecurity and other IT matters, our IT Coordinator and an outsourced cybersecurity partner, who employs various professionals with expertise in the field of cybersecurity. Our cybersecurity team oversees our internal information security policies and procedures and is responsible for the day-to-day implementation and monitoring of our security controls, including those developed as a result of the 2024 threat survey. In case of a cyber incident, our cybersecurity team will maintain a cyber incident reporting and response process and will provide management notifications based on the seriousness of any incident. Management will provide periodic reports to our board of directors/audit committee on cybersecurity risks and steps that the Company has taken to address those risks. Our outsourced cybersecurity partner provides expert support in areas such as threat intelligence, vulnerability assessments, incident response and ongoing security monitoring. This collaborative approach allows us to leverage both internal oversight and external expertise to enhance our cybersecurity posture.
Our information security policies and procedures are required to be reviewed on a regular basis
We have not experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in a material adverse impact to our business or operations; however, there can be no guarantee that we will not experience such an incident in the future. For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that may materially affect our Company, see “Item 1A. – Risk Factors” included elsewhere this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Our data and information systems and network infrastructure may be subject to hacking or other cybersecurity threats. If our security measures are breached and an unauthorized party obtains access to our proprietary business information, our information systems may be perceived as being insecure, which could harm our business and reputation and our proprietary business information could be misappropriated, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.”
Properties
As filed, 817 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Ramat Gan, Israel, which includes approximately 1,000 square meters of office space to accommodate our engineering, research and development and administrative operations. We lease our Ramat Gan facility pursuant to a lease that expires in June 2027, with an option to extend for an additional two years. We also lease approximately 800 square meters of office space in Omer, Israel. The lease agreement for this facility is set to expire in May 2026, at which time we have leased an alternative location in Omer consisting of approximately 286 square meters of space. We believe that our Ramat Gan and Omer leases are adequate for our current needs and, should we need additional space, we believe we will be able to obtain additional space on commercially reasonable terms.
Legal proceedings
As filed, 1,496 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Other than as described below, we are currently not a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. We may from time to time be subject to various legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. As our growth continues, we may become party to an increasing number of litigations and claims. The outcome of litigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
As a result of oppositional proceedings initiated by a third-party in 2018, the Opposition Division of the EU Patent Office decided in 2019 to revoke two of the three European patents (EP 2.478.693 and EP 2.621.159) and in 2021 to maintain the third patent (EP 2.621.158). Following appeal hearings held in early 2024, the Board of Appeals revoked all three patents, with formal written decisions issued in July 2024. We filed a petition for review of the decision regarding two of the three European patents (EP 2.478.693 and EP 2.621.159) and did not appeal the decision regarding the third European patent (EP 2.621.158). In 2025, all three patents were finally revoked. The revocations are not expected to have a material impact on our current business operations.
Management's discussion and analysis
As filed, 28,374 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 22, 2013, under the name Intellisense Solutions Inc.
On December 30, 2019, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of ScoutCam Ltd. and, on December 31, 2019, we changed our name to ScoutCam Inc. Following this acquisition, we integrated and fully adopted the acquired miniaturized imaging business as our primary business activity. On June 5, 2023, we changed our name to Odysight.ai Inc. On February 11, 2025, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ODYS”.
We are a pioneer in the development, production and marketing of innovative visual monitoring artificial intelligence, or AI, solutions that deploys small visual sensors to monitor critical safety components in hard-to-reach locations and harsh environments, across various Predictive Maintenance, or PdM, and Condition Based Monitoring, or CBM, use cases applied both for the civil and defense sectors. We aim to be the industry benchmark for real-time, visual-based machine and infrastructure health monitoring and predictive maintenance analysis through AI and machine learning data analytics.
Our solutions stream visual information to our processing unit, an in-platform, high-performance AI/ML (machine learning) computer, allowing maintenance and operations teams, on the ground and during operations, visibility into areas that are inaccessible under normal operating conditions or where conditions are not suitable for continuous monitoring. The data, continuously collected and analyzed by our solution on our secured cloud, provides customers with real-time failure / anomaly detection, events and data recordings, interfacing with platform mission systems and providing real-time alerts and streaming video or images, all while training our algorithms for ongoing improved accuracy and prediction capabilities. Our customers benefit from increased safety, a reduction in downtime, a more efficient data driven operation, increased mission readiness and lower maintenance costs for their monitored platforms, using the prediction capabilities of our solution to efficiently plan maintenance work on monitored components.
Our solution aims to enhance safety and minimize costly downtime by enabling real-time visual analysis of any failure occurrences and to leverage advanced big data analytics to offer predictive insights throughout the entire system lifecycle. This includes efficient spare parts management and intelligent performance predictions, ensuring optimal system reliability and efficiency.
Our solutions are already deployed in the industrial, automotive and aviation sectors. Our customers include the Israeli Air Force, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, a global international defense contractor, NASA and Israel Railways Ltd., as well as a leading European provider of elevator monitoring solutions. Historically, our revenue stream has been derived mainly from the medical sector.
Public Offering and Nasdaq Listing
In February 2025, we closed a public offering, including the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the underwriter in the public offering. The public offering and the over-allotment option exercise price was $6.50 per share. In the aggregate, we sold a total of 3,653,124 shares of common stock, generating gross proceeds of approximately $23.7 million, prior to the deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses. After deducting issuance costs, we received proceeds of approximately $20.9 million. Also in February 2025, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ODYS”.
Impact of the Ongoing War in Israel on Our Business
On October 7, 2023, the Hamas terrorist organization launched a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets in southern Israel. Since then, Israel has been involved in an ongoing military campaign and has faced hostilities on multiple fronts, including regular rocket and drone attacks and threats from Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and other terrorist organizations active in the region. While Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire framework in October 2025 contemplating a permanent end to that conflict, there is no assurance the agreement will hold. Furthermore, the regional security situation escalated significantly in late February 2026, following preemptive strikes by Israel and the United States against Iranian nuclear and ballistic capabilities. In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks toward population centers and military installations in Israel, Europe and neighboring countries in the Gulf region, and also launched counter-strikes against U.S. forces and allied bases throughout the Gulf region. In addition, in early March 2026, Hezbollah initiated further missile strikes against Israel, leading to retaliatory strikes and limited ground incursions into Lebanon.
The war has had economic, military and social consequences for Israel. While the conflict has not had a material adverse effect on our business to date, we have experienced disruptions to our routine work, including travel limitations and occasional rocket fire requiring employees at our Omer and Ramat Gan offices to take temporary shelter in on-site safe rooms. Pursuant to instructions from Israel’s Home Front Command, our offices were closed on certain days during the current conflict with Iran and Hezbollah.
Additionally, several of our executives and employees have been called up to military reserve duty, including our CEO, who was subject to reserve duty a few days a month until recent months. To mitigate these effects, we have adopted work-from-home measures, increased employee overtime and utilized third-party outsourcing where necessary.
The ongoing conflict has influenced our commercial environment in the following ways:
- Customer Prioritization: During more intense periods of the conflict, some Israeli clients have prioritized other matters, which has caused occasional delays in finalizing purchase orders. These delays have had a temporary impact on our business.
- Defense Technology Interest: Conversely, due to intensive flight hours flown by the Israeli Air Force and an enhanced Ministry of Defense budget, we have seen growing interest in our technology from Israeli government agencies and R&D programs. This may lead to a more rapid assimilation of our technology into relevant platforms than previously anticipated.
- International Sentiment: The war has increased negative sentiments regarding Israel and Israeli companies internationally, including efforts to boycott Israeli goods and services and specific efforts targeting Israeli defense firms. While we have faced challenges, such as initial bans from industry conferences that were later overturned, these efforts have not impacted our participation in such events to date.
The security situation remains fluid. Any renewed military actions, intensified boycotts or government-imposed measures could adversely affect our operations, supply chains and financial condition.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical for fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenues
Our revenues are measured according to the ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are measured according to the amount of consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenues are presented net of VAT.
We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control over promised goods or services. For each performance obligation, we determine at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time or satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time.
Performance obligations are satisfied over time if one of the following criteria is met:
(a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance; (b) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (c) the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use for the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, we satisfy the performance obligation at a point in time.
Revenues from product customization and development contracts in which the performance obligation is satisfied over time are recognized over the duration of the contract and commensurate with the progress of services. We measure the progress of services using the input method, based on the effort expended relative to the estimated total effort to satisfy the performance obligation.
Revenues from product sales are recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, typically upon shipment to the customer. Indirect taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.
Stock-Based Compensation
We apply the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, or ASC 718, for stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and other providers for their services. Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded requires us to develop estimates of the fair value of stock options as of their grant date. We estimate the fair value of each stock option grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Calculating the fair value of stock-based awards requires that we make subjective assumptions.
Pursuant to ASC 718, we measure stock-based awards granted to employees, members of the board of directors and other providers at fair value on the date of grant and recognize the corresponding stock-based compensation expense of those awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the stock price volatility and the expected option term. Our expected dividend rate is zero since we do not currently pay cash dividends and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Each of the above factors requires us to use judgment and make estimates in determining the percentages and time periods used for the calculation. If we were to use different percentages or time periods, the fair value of option awards could be materially different. We recognize stock-based compensation cost for option awards on an accelerated basis over the employee’s requisite service period, and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
Volatility is derived from a blend of the Company’s volatility and historic volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The risk-free interest rates used in the Black-Scholes calculations are based on the prevailing U.S. Treasury yield as determined by the U.S. Federal Reserve. We have not paid dividends and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, no dividend yield was assumed for purposes of estimating the fair value of our stock-based compensation. The weighted average expected life of options was estimated individually in respect of each grant.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2025 and the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Overview
Our primary business activity in 2025 was enlarging our focus on activities in the domain of Industry 4.0, including PdM and CBM in sectors such as aerospace, transportation and other heavy machinery, engines and complicated mechanics that require ongoing monitoring and predictive maintenance applications. The main effect of this activity was to support our planned accelerated growth, and solution quality and development.
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, together with the changes in those items in dollars and as a percentage:
| 2025 | 2024 | % Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues | 3,015,000 | 3,964,000 | (24)% |
| Cost of Revenues | 2,144,000 | 2,807,000 | (24)% |
| Gross Profit | 871,000 | 1,157,000 | (25)% |
| Research and development expenses | 9,639,000 | 6,884,000 | 40% |
| Sales and marketing expense | 2,327,000 | 1,218,000 | 91% |
| General and administrative expenses | 7,040,000 | 5,562,000 | 27% |
| Operating Loss | (18,135,000) | (12,507,000) | 45% |
Revenues
As a result of the nature of our target market and the current stage of the deployment of our solutions, a substantial portion of our revenue comes from a limited number of customers.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated revenues of $3,015,000, a decrease of $949,000, or 24%, from 2024 revenues.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were primarily comprised of:
- Full derecognition of the contract liability associated with the Fortune 500 medical company customer, in the amount of $1.7 million, as described in Note 9(a)(1) to financial statements, and
- $1.2 million in revenues from our vision-based platform solutions for PdM and CBM.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily comprised of:
- $3.0 million in revenues from products sold to the Fortune 500 medical company customer, and
- $0.9 million in revenues from our vision-based platform solutions for PdM and CBM.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues is primarily comprised of cost of personnel, certain allocated expenses related to facilities, logistics and quality control.
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $2,144,000, a decrease of $663,000, or 24%, compared to cost of revenues of $2,807,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The decrease in cost of revenues is consistent with the decrease in revenues, as described above.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $871,000, a decrease of $286,000, or 25%, compared to a gross profit of $1,157,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The decrease in gross profit was due to the decrease in revenues partially offset by the decrease in cost of revenues, as described above.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development efforts are focused on new product development and on developing additional functionality for our new and existing products. These expenses primarily consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in research and development functions, consulting, and professional fees related to research and development activities, prototype materials, facility costs, and other allocated expenses, which include expenses for rent and maintenance of our facility, utilities, depreciation, and other supplies. We expense research and development costs as incurred.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $9,639,000, an increase of $2,755,000, or 40%, compared to $6,884,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The increase in research and development expenses was mainly due to the development of new products and the increase in payroll and related expenses related to the recruitment of new employees, an increase in stock-based compensation from new option grants and procuring materials and services of subcontractors for Industry 4.0 projects.
We expect our research and development expenses may modestly grow as we continue to develop our products and services and recruit additional experts to support our focus on Industry 4.0 solutions.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of payroll expenses, consulting services, promotional materials, exhibitions, demonstration equipment, and certain allocated facility infrastructure costs.
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $2,327,000, an increase of $1,109,000, or 91%, compared to $1,218,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by our enhanced global selling and marketing activity, including efforts to penetrate new territories and market verticals and enhance product visibility. This led to higher expenses associated with the recruitment of new workforce and marketing consultants.
We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase as we expand our global selling and marketing efforts.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance, and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include direct and allocated facility-related costs as well as professional fees for legal, patent, consulting, investor, public relations, accounting, auditing, tax services, and insurance costs.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $7,040,000, an increase of $1,478,000, or 27%, compared to $5,562,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The increase/decrease was primarily due to:
- an increase in payroll and related expenses due to the recruitment of new employees, including a CFO, and cash compensation bonuses paid to senior executives;
- expenses related to our fundraising and uplisting to Nasdaq; and
- an increase in stock-based compensation from new option grants.
48
Operating loss
We incurred operating loss of $18,135,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $5,628,000, or 45%, compared to operating loss of $12,507,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The increase in operating loss was due to increases in research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses, each as described above.
Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We monitor the key business metric set forth below to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts and assess operational efficiencies. Our key business metric is backlog. Increases or decreases in our key performance metric may not correspond with increases or decreases in our revenue.
Backlog
Backlog is a key business metric that we define as booked orders based on purchase orders or hard commitments but not yet recognized as revenue. Orders included in backlog may be cancelled or rescheduled by customers. A variety of conditions, both specific to the individual customer and generally affecting the customer’s industry, may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were previously made or anticipated. We cannot assure the timely replacement of cancelled, delayed or reduced orders. Backlog is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures, including revenue or net income (loss), and, as calculated, may not be comparable to companies in other industries or within the same industry with similarly titled measures of performance. In addition, backlog should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Therefore, backlog should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Backlog as of December 31, 2025 was approximately $13.8 million compared to approximately $15 million as of December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $26 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits of $18.5 million as of December 31, 2024. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $63 million, as compared to $46 million as of December 31, 2024.
In February 2025, we closed a public offering, including the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the underwriter in the public offering, at a price of $6.50 per share. In the aggregate, we issued 3,653,124 shares of common stock, generating gross proceeds of approximately $23.7 million, prior to the deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses.
Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been from fundraising, revenues from customers and warrant exercises.
Additional Cash Requirements
We plan to continue to invest in long-term growth, and therefore we expect that our expenses will continue to grow. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits will allow us to fund our operating plan through the at least the next 12 months from the date of this Annual Report. Our expenses may increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue our commercialization efforts, research and development and the scale up of our solutions. We expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Furthermore, we will continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional capital before we become profitable from sales of our solutions and may do so to expand our business, pursue strategic investments, take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons. We may raise these funds through equity financing, debt financing or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our common stock. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for investors to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock, or that we will be able to raise sufficient capital required to implement our business plan on acceptable terms, if at all. Even if we are successful in raising sufficient capital to implement our business plan, we will, most likely, continue to be unprofitable for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.
Cash Flows
Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for headcount-related expenditures, research and development costs, manufacturing costs, marketing and promotional expenses, professional services cost, and costs related to our facilities. Our cash flows from operating activities will continue to be affected due to the expected increase in spending on our business and to meet our working capital requirements.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 framework, in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
