Overview

Incorporated in Delaware in May 2010, we are a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of non-invasive glucose monitoring devices for use by people with diabetes and pre-diabetics. On July 15, 2010, we completed a reverse triangular merger with Integrity Israel and Integrity Acquisition Corp. Ltd., an Israeli corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, pursuant to which Integrity Acquisition Corp. Ltd. merged with and into Integrity Israel and all of the stockholders and option holders of Integrity Israel became entitled to receive shares and options in us in exchange for their shares and options in Integrity Israel (the “Reorganization”). Following the Reorganization, the former equity holders of Integrity Israel were entitled to the same proportional ownership in us as they had in Integrity Israel prior to the Reorganization. As a result of the Reorganization, Integrity Israel became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. We operate primarily through Integrity Israel.

Integrity Israel was founded in 2001 with a mission to develop, produce and market non-invasive glucose monitors for home use by diabetics. We have developed a non-invasive glucose monitor, the GlucoTrack® glucose monitoring device, which is designed to help people with diabetes and pre-diabetics obtain glucose level readings without the pain, inconvenience, cost and difficulty of conventional (invasive) spot finger stick devices. The first generation GlucoTrack® (“GlucoTrack 1.0”) utilizes a patented combination of ultrasound, electromagnetic and thermal technologies to obtain glucose measurements in less than one minute via a small sensor that is clipped onto one’s earlobe and connected to a small, handheld control and display unit, all without drawing blood or interstitial fluid.

We are currently developing our own companion applications and a cloud-based solution, as well as conducting ongoing discussions with potential partners, to offer an effective platform to provide real time, data driven personalized tools to effectively help a user manage their diabetes. In addition to being a critical and effective management tool for the end user, we believe that third parties such as insurers, pharmaceutical companies and advertisers would be willing to pay for the de-identified data that we will obtain through our platform, and that this is an opportunity for us to develop an additional revenue source.

After a short calibration process of approximately thirty minutes and consisting of three invasive reference measurements, GlucoTrack 1.0 can be used to non-invasively measure glucose levels for six months before a user is required to repeat the calibration process. The entire calibration process can be performed by the user themselves without the need for a trained calibrator. We believe the simple-to-perform calibration, as well as the infrequency of the required re-calibration are significant advantages over our competition.

GlucoTrack 1.0 has received the initial Conformité Européene (CE) Mark (indicating the conformity of the Company’s product with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area) approval for the GlucoTrack® 1.0 from DEKRA Certification B.V., our European notified body (the “Notified Body”), which is an entity that has been accredited by a member state of the European Union (“EU”) to assess whether a product to be placed on the market meets certain preordained standards. The intended use for GlucoTrack 1.0 received by the Notified Body is for both those with Type 2 diabetes as well as those suffering from pre-diabetes.

Receipt of the CE Mark allows us to market and sell GlucoTrack® 1.0 glucose monitoring device in EU member countries that have adopted the European Medical Device Directive (the “MDD”) without being subject to additional national regulations with regard to demonstration of performance and safety. However, although the MDD is applicable throughout the EU, in practice it does not ensure uniform regulation throughout the EU. Accordingly, member countries may apply and enforce the MDD’s terms differently, and certain EU member countries may request or require performance and/or safety data in addition to the MDD’s requirements from time to time, on a case-by-case basis. The CE Mark also permits the sale in countries that have an MDD Mutual Recognition Agreement with the EU. This would include some countries in South East Asia as well as in Latin America, opening new potential markets for Integrity on a global basis.

Safety and quality are non-negotiables in the medical devices industry. Regulatory requirements are increasingly stringent throughout every step of a product’s life cycle, including service and delivery. More and more, organizations in the industry are expected to demonstrate their quality management processes and ensure best practice in everything they do. ISO 13485, is an internationally agreed standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system specific to the medical devices industry. On February 19, 2016, we received an extension of our ISO 13485:2003 certificate and Annex II certification from the EU. The ISO 13485:2003 certification signifies that we have met the standards required for company-wide implementation of device quality management system(s). The scope of the certification is design, development, manufacture and service of non-invasive glucose monitoring systems for home use. Annex II also addresses quality control systems. The certification allows us to self-certify certain modifications and changes and simplifies some of the reporting to and review by the relevant Notified Body. This can shorten the CE-mark review process of future GlucoTrack® enhancements or revisions, including software updates and other improvements of the device that do not affect the intended use and/or safety performance. The ISO 13485:2003 and Annex II certifications enable us to potentially reduce the time to market for product sales on new, enhanced or modified GlucoTrack® devices.

Clinical trials conducted in Germany by Pfutzner Science & Health Institute, GmbH, headed by Prof. Dr. Andreas Pfutzner, on subjects with Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes, as well as at Soroka University Medical Center, Beer-Sheva, Israel, demonstrated favorable results. Results from the trials show 99.7% of the study data points within the clinically accepted A and B zones of the Consensus Error Grid (which is a new tool for evaluating the accuracy of a blood glucose meter) (Type 2), 99.3% of the study data points were within the clinically accepted A and B zones of the Clarke Error Grid (which is a tool used to quantify the clinical accuracy of blood glucose estimates generated by meters as compared to a reference value), 17.0% Mean Absolute Relative Difference, and 12.9% Median Absolute Relative Difference. In addition, the German trial concluded that the data confirms the performance of the GlucoTrack® among its intended users, including pre-diabetic patients.

In addition, the Company has demonstrated (1) the GlucoTrack® algorithm, which compensates for the tissue-lagging effect relative to blood glucose changes post-meal intake, significantly improves GlucoTrack® accuracy at different post-prandial (post- meal) states, and equalizes accuracy for pre- and post-meal glucose readings; (2) GlucoTrack® clinical accuracy as measured by Consensus Error Grid (CEG) showed 100% of the pre-prandial readings in the A+B zones, and 98.2% of the post-prandial readings in the A+B zones; (3) GlucoTrack® 1.0 demonstrates consistent glucose measurement repeatability between different GlucoTrack® devices and on each earlobe of the same subject; (4) the repeatability of different GlucoTrack® devices is similar at all tested glucose ranges and post-prandial time periods; and (5) the GlucoTrack® mean precision absolute relative difference (PARD) of 8.2% is equivalent or better than the independently reported PARD values of commercially available continuous glucose monitoring systems.

The Company conducted a study that evaluated GlucoTracker accuracy in 172 adults with type 2 diabetes who were prescribed one or more medications for major medical conditions associated with diabetes and presented key findings of this study at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes Congress (EASD) in Lisbon, Portugal. The experiment stratified participants into five medication groups, focusing on anti-cholesterolemia, anti-hypertension, anti-thrombotic, and anti-diabetic (prolonged duration and short and mixed duration) medications. The study demonstrated that the use of these common concomitant medications in diabetes had no effect on the performance of GlucoTrack®.

In 2018, the Company presented at the 11th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD 2018) in Vienna, Austria. The Company presented data on the performance of a non-invasive glucose monitoring device (GlucoTrack®) with regard to accuracy and precision. Device accuracy data was presented for 37 people with type 2 diabetes using the consensus error grid analysis for type 2 diabetes and measuring the median absolute relative difference (ARD). The results showed that 99.6% of 257 measurements were in zones A and B of the Consensus error grid, with 90.3% of the measurements in zone A, the mean and median ARD were 17.2% and 12.9%, respectively, and at various glucose levels, mean PARD ranged from 7.7%-8.7%. Data was also presented on sensor to sensor precision in 20 people with type 2 diabetes where ~19 simultaneous measurements using two GlucoTrack® devices, one on each earlobe. The results show that GlucoTrack® is highly accurate with sensor-to-sensor precision is comparable to that of CGMs (GlucoTrack: 8.1%, Dexcom G6: 9.0%, Freestyle Navigator: 9.6%).

The Company had begun the implementation of a proof of concept pilot program for GlucoTrack 1.0 in the Netherlands, a country chosen based on the relatively smaller size of the marketplace to allow us to be able to rapidly assess our performance and make adjustments as necessary. We have been working closely with our exclusive distributor in the Netherlands, Medireva B.V., and have accomplished product and disease area training across the organization and segmentation of the local target audiences including key opinion leaders, treating physicians, and diabetes nurses. The most important aspect of our pilot program in the Netherlands are the discussions held with many health insurance companies. Approval of full or partial reimbursement by the health insurance companies will be a key factor in enabling us to achieve significant sales volume. The Company has made progress with several of these companies on initial programs with GlucoTrack 1.0 as an important step towards reimbursement approval.

Talent development, recruiting and organizational health have been a critical focus of the Company over the last 12 months. A number of high-quality individuals have joined the Company, each of whom bring extensive experience in their respective fields. We have bolstered our Senior Management with the recruitment of Erez Ben-Zvi, a highly experienced MedTech development professional who joined us last year as Vice President of Product, and recently took on the additional role of General Manager, and Shalom Shushan, a seasoned executive who joined us as Chief Technology Officer. We added two new independent directors; Paul V. Goode PhD, who has a decorated career developing innovative medical technologies, including at DexCom and MiniMed, and Luis J. Malavé, formerly of Insulet Corp, Medtronic and MiniMed. Several highly talented and accomplished executives joined the Company as senior advisors to the Board. These include Yair Briman, the former CEO of Philips Healthcare Informatics, Daniel McCaffrey MBA MA, a world-renowned behavioral scientist and digital health expert currently at Samsung Health and formerly of Dexcom, Dr. Alexander Raykhman PhD, a measurement and artificial intelligence expert and Dr. David C. Klonoff, world renowned endocrinologist and diabetes technology thought leader. We intend to continue to invest in our talent and to expand and strengthen all areas within the company.

Recently, the Company performed a top-down analysis of the GlucoTrack 1.0 model to identify areas of potential enhancement, as it relates to the platform, integrations, sensor technologies, accuracy as well as costs to manufacture. The result of this comprehensive review is an accelerated development plan for GlucoTrack 2.0. GlucoTrack 2.0 will be a completely wireless and rechargeable earclip to be paired with a smartphone, with more capabilities and features, increased accuracy, significantly greater margins for the Company and lower cost to the end-user as compared to GlucoTrack 1.0.

As previously reported, the Company has made significant progress towards receiving insurance reimbursement in the Netherlands. With the new accelerated development plan for GlucoTrack 2.0, with all of the expected advantages over GlucoTrack 1.0, it made clear to the Company that introducing GlucoTrack 2.0 rather than the GlucoTrack 1.0 would serve the diabetes market and the Company more effectively. We are currently working with our European partners on the roadmap for distribution of GlucoTrack 2.0 when completed and ready to market.

In addition to the European markets, the Company is now focused on the U.S. market as well, including building out its U.S. go-to-market strategy and planning the required FDA clinical trials and field testing to support its entrance into the market. The Company is currently in the process of identifying clinical sites in the U.S., interviewing Contract Research Organizations (CRO’s), and forming its Scientific and Medical Advisory Boards. We intend to build out a team to support the U.S. activities, while continuing our technology development in our R&D facility located in Israel.

We may be at risk as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Risks that could affect our business include the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on the demand for our products; actions by governments, businesses and individuals taken in response to the pandemic; the length of time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of its reoccurrence; the timing required to develop effective treatments and a vaccine in the event of future outbreaks; the eventual impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

Critical Accounting Policies

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. As applicable to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to determination of net realizable value of inventory.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our operating results explains material changes in our results of operations for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period ended June 30, 2020. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Three Months ended June 30, 2021 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2020

Revenues

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, we had no revenues.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were $321 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $379 thousand for the prior-year period. The decrease is immaterial.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, materials, clinical trials and other expenses. We expect research and development expenses to increase in 2021 and beyond, primarily due to hiring additional personnel and developing our next generation product line, however, we may adjust or allocate the level of our research and development expenses based on available financial resources and based on our commercial needs, including the FDA registration process, specific requirements from customers, development of new GlucoTrack® models and others.

Net Loss

Net loss was $1,757 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $1,308 thousand for the prior-year period. The increase in net loss is attributable primarily to the decrease in our operating expenses, as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, cash on hand was approximately $8 million as a result of our $15 million private placement which closed during February 2020, for which we received net cash of approximately $13 million. Based on our current cash burn rate, strategy and operating plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will enable us to operate for a period in excess of one year from the date of this report. In order to fund our anticipated liquidity needs beyond such period (or possibly earlier if our current cash burn rate, strategy or operating plan change in a way that accelerates or increases our liquidity needs), we will need to raise additional capital.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities for the Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,902 thousand and $1,892 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities primarily reflects the net loss for those periods of $1,757 thousand and $1,308 thousand, respectively.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities for the Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020

Net cash used (provided) in investing activities was $(3) and $15 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was used mostly to purchase equipment (such as computers, research and development, and office equipment).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021, our President and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
