There is absolutely no doubt about Australia’s affection for light commercial vehicles, commonly referred to as utes. Each month, the top five new vehicle sales list features at least two utility vehicles, with the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger typically topping the list.

Now, finally, the first electric ute is on offer in Australia – with the launch and unveiling of the LDV eT60, with an 88.5kWh battery, a modest 330km range – and a jaw-dropping ride price of $88,431 for tradesmen, or $92,000 for other mortals.

LDK, which is also launching an electric delivery van, the eDeliver 9, hails the arrival of the eT60 as a “watershed moment” in the Australian automotive industry.

Until now, the only electric vans available were bespoke conversions, and LDK decided to hit the market before the “big names” such as the Rivian, GM electric Hummer and Tesla Cybertruck came to market. Australia.

“We are an OEM offering Australia’s first electric utility and everything that goes with it: a nationwide dealer network, factory backed service and warranty, and a major spares operation for manage our rapidly growing car park,” says LDV Managing Director Dinesh Chinnappa.

“And now we have Australia’s first electric utility – and that’s why we’ve entered into fleet agreements with major global and Australian companies, federal, state and local governments and fleet operators who are committed manage their activities in a more environmentally friendly way.

Watershed moment for the electric vehicle industry

“This watershed moment in Australia’s motoring history marks a turning point in the electrification of commercial vehicles – and proves that weekends don’t have to end just yet.”

The Driven was one of many motoring journals invited to drive the eT60 and our report can be found here, but here are some of the key details.

The ute is powered by a single motor which drives the rear wheels. This motor produces 130 kW of power and 310 Nm of torque.

The configuration has a nominal consumption of 21.3 kWh/100 km. That’s pretty good considering the dimensions of this ute which sit at:

  • 5365mm in length
  • 1900mm wide
  • 1809mm tall

For comparison, the MG ZS EV – a cheaper electric SUV – has a consumption of 18.6 kWh/100 km.

With this consumption, the eT60 comes with reasonable charging speeds and can be quickly charged by direct current from 20% to 80% in 45 minutes.

The eT60 ute is equipped with a CCS2 DC fast charging port so it can be charged during lunch breaks on one of the growing DC fast chargers across the country.

Towing

This utility also has a towing capacity of 1,000kg, which isn’t best in class among ICE utilities, but it gets the job done for many looking to tow smaller trailers with implements. But that halves the range.

Security

On the safety side, the ute is equipped with:

  • 6 airbags
  • Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
  • Hill Start Assist (HAS)
  • Reversing camera with parking aid
  • LED daytime running lights.

This security equipment is comparable to most traditional ICE utilities.

Interior

Inside, the cabin features artificial leather stitched seats for the front and rear rows. The seating position of the front seats can be adjusted electronically without having to adjust them manually.

The build quality was quite good and has less plastic-like trim materials compared to what you find in many ICE utilities.

This ute is also equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen which comes standard with Apple CarPlay as well as Smartphone connectivity.

LDV eT60 infotainment screen

There are front and rear USB ports for charging phones and other devices. The seat pocket and glove compartment also provide functional space.

Warranty and maintenance

On the warranty side, LDV offers a 5-year/160,000 km warranty on the vehicle and an 8-year/160,000 km warranty on the battery.

This gives many customers and fleets good peace of mind when considering transitioning fleets to an electric vehicle. For comparison, a Ford Ranger ICE ute has a 5-year vehicle warranty and no powertrain add-ons.

Service can be performed at any of 95 LDV dealers across Australia. The eT60 requires service once every 2 years or 30,000 km, whichever comes first.

Price

The LDV eT60 is priced at $88,431 drive-thru for ABN holders, or a recommended retail price of $92,990 drive-thru for private buyers. High end paints other than white are $500 more.

It’s about double the cost of the company‘s fossil fuel utilities in Australia, but it insists it’s facing strong customer interest.

ldv et60 specs

Driven’s view: Electric vehicles are rare and require larger and more expensive batteries. As this segment grows, availability is expected to increase, bringing with it the cost of manufacturing and delivering electric vehicles in Australia.

The LDV eT60 is the first of its kind and is well equipped to meet the needs of many ute owners on our roads.

Innovative products can be expensive when first launched. Think of the iPhone or the first Teslas that didn’t stop some people from trying it out.

Electric aircraft maker Archer has unveiled its Archer Midnight eVTOL and announced that it will serve New York from 2025.

The Archer Midnight electric plane is one of many planes launched by startups promising to revitalize the “mobility industry”. But comparatively, Archer goes about it conservatively. The company does not promise self-driving flights to a city near you, nor does it promise that its plane will take you around the world. The Archer Midnight is a piloted electric aircraft designed for fast commutes in congested cities.

The Archer Midnight is a fairly small aircraft, carrying only four passengers and a pilot. But the electric plane has a total payload of 1000 pounds, which allows for a large amount of cargo. The Midnight uses electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology to limit its need for airstrips, and with its swivel motors it can reach 150 mph. With a total range of 100 miles, the CEO says Midnight has enough range for many quick commutes in congested cities like New York and Los Angeles.

The production-ready version of the Archer Midnight is a big milestone for the company, as it only has to wait for safety certification (hopefully in 2024). Shortly thereafter, in 2025, Archer will begin service between New York City and Newark International Airport, with many routes planned for the future.

A point of clarification, while Archer has already flight tested its Archer Maker aircraft earlier this year, it is unclear if the same tests have already been performed with the Archer Midnight.

After discussing the company’s timeline, Mr. Goldstien turned to the technical hurdles the electric plane design had overcome. Julien Montousse, automotive designer turned Archer, aerospace designer, cited visibility, comfort and ease of access as his top concerns. The Archer Midnight achieves unrivaled views through the use of carbon fiber; the lightweight material allowing Archer to use more glass (a relatively heavy material) in the cabin.

Archer also aimed to make their aircraft easy to assemble and comfortable to travel. These challenges have been overcome by the quiet operation and compact design of the electric motors which maximize interior space. The landing gear has also been specially designed to keep the floor of the aircraft as low as possible, making entry and exit comfortable and easy.

The final challenge that was touched on briefly was affordability. Archer hopes the Midnight can be used by a lot of people, not just the ultra-rich. However, it is still unclear whether the company has achieved this goal without pricing information.

Electric aviation continues to grow and amaze with the constant release of new technologies. With Archer’s clear path to certification and implementation, we may be closer than ever to personalized electric flight experiences. However, with a long road to FAA certification ahead of them, don’t hold your breath for service just yet.

Global Atrial Fibrillation Market Overview

Atrial fibrillation is a medical condition that occurs due to abnormal and faulty electrical activities in the atria of the heart. It is a form of cardiac arrhythmia. Generally, atrial fibrillation has no symptoms that can be specifically related to the disease. But in general, it can be identified by symptoms such as fainting, palpitations, congestive heart failure or chest discomfort. Patients with such symptoms can consult the doctor for an ECG which may indicate atrial fibrillation. Depending on the severity of the condition, it is classified into three categories, paroxysmal, persistent and permanent severity. The WHO has stated that atrial fibrillation is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia. Patients with atrial fibrillation have a much higher chance of producing blood clots that can lead to stroke.

With the growth of the geriatric population, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation has increased dramatically. This created a demand for catheter ablation for cardiac rehabilitation. For this reason, the atrial fibrillation market has also witnessed significant growth in recent years. During the forecast period, with a perfect balance between medical devices used for atrial fibrillation and drugs, the atrial fibrillation market is expected to grow exponentially.

Additionally, increased prevalence of strokes, brain damage, and atrial fibrillation caused by blood clots, along with an expanding elderly population, are driving the expansion of the global atrial fibrillation market. Technological developments in microwave and radiofrequency catheter ablation, along with the increased prevalence of disorders caused by lifestyle choices such as drinking and smoking, are expected to further drive the market growth.

Key players

The main market players are AtriCure Inc., Boston Scientific Corporation, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Biosense Webster Inc., St. Jude Medical Inc., Johnson & Johnson Ltd., CardioFocus Inc., Sanofi-Aventis, Endoscopic Technologies Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Corporation.

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to enter the mainstream automotive market, consumers are more than ever considering buying an EV over a gas-powered vehicle. While there are many benefits to owning an electric car, including lower maintenance costs and less upkeep overall, there are also many exciting new EV features that are often overlooked which would be impressive. and exciting even in a regular gasoline vehicle. The good news is that Kelley Blue Book (KBB) recently put together a list of their favorite electric car features that you can find on electric vehicles today:

Overview

Our Business

We design, develop, and market exoskeleton products that augment human strength,
endurance and mobility. Our exoskeleton technology serves multiple markets and
can be utilized both by able-bodied persons and by persons with physical
disabilities. We have sold or leased devices that (i) enable individuals with
neurological conditions affecting gait, including ABI, SCI and MS, to
rehabilitate, and in some cases, to walk again, (ii) assist individuals with a
broad range of upper extremity impairments, and (iii) allow industrial workers
to perform difficult repetitive work for extended periods.

We believe that the commercial opportunity for exoskeleton technology adoption
is accelerating as a result of recent advancements in material technologies,
electronic and electrical engineering, control technologies, and sensor and
software development. Taken individually, many of these advancements have become
ubiquitous in peoples' everyday lives. Supported by an industry leading
intellectual property portfolio, we believe that we have learned how to
integrate these existing technologies and wrap the result around a human being
efficiently, elegantly and safely. We further believe this endeavor is
achievable across a broad spectrum of applications, from persons with lower limb
paralysis to able-bodied users.

EksoHealth

EksoHealth is our business unit focused on the development and commercialization of exoskeletons for medical applications.


Our leading product in EksoHealth, the EksoNR, is a robotic exoskeleton used to
provide physical therapy for patients with lower extremity impairment. EksoNR
includes unique features designed specifically to assist physical therapists and
other clinicians to teach patients to walk again after suffering a neurological
impairment. Typical conditions that can be treated with the assistance of EksoNR
include ABIs, such as stroke and traumatic brain injuries, as well as SCIs, MS,
and others. The benefits of EksoNR rehabilitation can include earlier
mobilization of patients, longer and more intense rehab sessions, and increased
quality of sessions as compared to alternative therapies. EksoNR is typically
used in clinical settings, most commonly at inpatient rehab facilities and
stroke centers.

EksoUE, our exoskeleton device for upper limb medical applications, is a wearable upper body exoskeleton used for rehabilitation. EksoUE is designed to help patients with a wide range of upper limb impairments and aims to provide them with a greater active range of motion and increased endurance for higher intensity rehabilitation sessions.

EksoWorks


EksoWorks is our business unit focused on developing, marketing, and selling
exoskeletons and other assistive tools for industrial applications. Target users
for these devices are generally able-bodied, and, as such, the technologies are
primarily employed to reduce worker fatigue. The benefits of fatigue reduction
can include reduced rates of injuries, higher productivity, increased worker
morale, and lower employee turnover. EksoWorks products are primarily sold to
companies deploying the technologies for use directly in their operations.

Our wearable exoskeleton products in EksoWorks include EksoVest and the new EVO,
both of which are designed to support the weight of a worker's arms and tools
during overhead applications, reducing the fatigue associated with working at or
above shoulder height for extended periods. These products are currently
targeted at end users in the aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and
construction trades.

Before ceasing marketing of the EksoZeroG support arm and associated products and accessories, at the end of the second quarter of 2022, we manufactured and sold our EksoZeroG tool carrier, which could be mounted on a lifting platform or

scaffolding. Refer to Note 6. Revenue Recognition in the notes to our condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for more information.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

• Reservation of a total of 33 EksoNR units in the third quarter of 2022

• Declared turnover of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, a 9% year-over-year increase

•Strong cash position of $29.2 million of the September 30, 2022

Economic and industrial trends


Our revenue is highly dependent on market demand for our exoskeleton products.
This market demand is influenced by many factors including the level of
awareness of robotic exoskeleton rehabilitation among the rehabilitation clinics
with significant ABI and SCI populations, the imperatives among construction and
manufacturing companies to drive adoption of improved safety and health
practices, as well as conditions relating to overall economic growth and general
business activity. Difficult and challenging economic conditions, including
growing supply chain issues amidst an increasingly inflationary environment,
could lead to increased price-based competition. In particular, the effects of
such increasing price-based competition may have an especially significant
impact on certain products that we offer, including the EksoNR, which have a
lengthy sale and purchase order cycle because they are major capital expenditure
items and generally require the approval of senior management at purchasing
institutions. Furthermore, our business includes operations in the Americas,
EMEA and APAC, so we are affected by demand for our products in those regions,
as well as the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the
U.S. Dollar.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures have also materially
affected how we and our customers are operating our businesses, and have
materially affected our operating results, as demand for our exoskeleton
products decreased as many inpatient rehabilitation facilities temporarily
shifted priorities and delayed capital expenditures. While the duration and
extent to which this will impact our future results remain uncertain, we have
seen certain recovery in the demand for our exoskeleton products following the
gradual reopening and recovery of the broader global economy, and we believe the
clinical need for our products has not diminished, as evidenced by clinical data
showing the increased prevalence of strokes during the pandemic. Although
concerns about the emergence of new, more infectious variants of the coronavirus
remain, we have gradually resumed in-person engagements in addition to virtual
meetings with our current and prospective customers through conferences,
training events and educational demos to offer our support and showcase the
value of our Ekso devices. Further, now that our clinical team is fully
vaccinated and are active onsite at U.S. rehab centers, we expect to see an
uptick in live in-person interactions going forward. Although market
uncertainties related to the pandemic make it difficult for us to project the
full impact on our business and customers, we believe that we are
well-positioned to serve our customers when business conditions begin to
normalize.

Throughout the pandemic, our top priority has been to protect the health and
safety of our employees and our consumers. Employees who are essential to the
daily operations are required to work in our facilities where enhanced personal
protective equipment is in place. In addition, we have a hybrid work from home
and office policy for our employees whose jobs can be performed outside of the
office.

Management continues to actively monitor the global situation, including the
geopolitical instability arising out of military conflict and escalating
tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and its effects on our financial position
and operations.

Management Changes

On January 14, 2022, Jack Peurach, our former President and Chief Executive
Officer, notified us of his intention to resign as an officer and member of the
Board of Directors of the Company to pursue other endeavors. On January 20,
2022, our Board and Mr. Peurach reached an understanding regarding his decision
to leave the Company and entered into an Executive Separation and Release
Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Peurach's last day of service as the President,
Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company's Board was January 21,
2022.

In addition, our Board of Directors appointed Steven Sherman, who currently
serves and previously had served as the Chairman of our Board, to become Chief
Executive Officer of the Company effective January 22, 2022. Mr. Sherman

independent director. Furthermore, our Board of Directors appointed Scott Davis
to become President and Chief Operating Officer effective January 22, 2022.

On March 4, 2022, William Shaw, our former Chief Commercial Officer, notified
our Board of Directors of his intention to resign as Chief Commercial Officer of
the Company effective March 11, 2022 in connection with his retention as an
employee at another company.

On May 23, 2022, John F. Glenn our former Chief Financial Officer, notified the
Company of his decision to resign from his position as the Company's Chief
Financial Officer, effective June 17, 2022, in connection with his retention as
an employee at another public company. Mr. Glenn's resignation is not the result
of any dispute or disagreement with the Company including any matters relating
to the Company's accounting practices or financial reporting. On May 25, 2022,
our board of directors approved the appointment of Jerome Wong as Interim Chief
Financial Officer, effective upon Mr. Glenn's departure. Mr. Wong was approved
by our board of directors as Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Secretary and
Principal Financial Officer on October 26, 2022, after serving as Interim Chief
Financial Officer from May 25, 2022 to October 25, 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed
consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the
basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates. Our most critical accounting estimates include:

•the standalone selling prices used to allocate the contract consideration to
the individual performance obligations in our device sales arrangements, which
impacts revenue recognition;
•the unobservable inputs and assumptions used by management in estimating the
fair value of our warrant liabilities, which impacts net income or loss;
•the valuation of inventory, which impacts gross profit margins; and
•the estimates made regarding the recoverability of our net deferred tax asset,
which impacts our financial condition.

Autonomous selling prices


Our device sales arrangements contain multiple products and services, most often
including the device(s) and service, both of which we have identified as
distinct performance obligations. Revenue is allocated to each performance
obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling
prices are based on observable prices at which we separately sell the products
or services. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, then we
estimate the standalone selling prices considering market conditions and
entity-specific factors including, but not limited to, features and
functionality of the products and services, geographies, type of customer, and
gross margin targets. Changes in the relative standalone selling price between
devices and service can have an impact on how transaction prices are allocated
between revenue and deferred revenue.

Responsibilities Related to Warrants


We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value our warrant liabilities
at each reporting period, which requires the input of highly subjective
assumptions, most notably the estimated volatility of our common stock over the
expected term. We use our historical common stock volatility to estimate
expected volatility over the warrant terms. Management must also make uncertain
estimates regarding the likelihood and timing of certain future events for
application of the Lattice Model for the valuation of certain warrants. Changes
in these assumptions could have potential material impacts on the estimated fair
value of warrant liabilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2022,
management made no changes to its estimates regarding the likelihood of future
events, but revised its estimates regarding the timing of future events. We do
not believe the revision resulted in a material impact to the estimated fair
value of warrant liabilities measured using the Lattice Model.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Inventory Valuation

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is
computed using the standard cost method which approximates actual cost on a
first-in, first-out basis. The cost basis of our inventory is reduced for any
products that are considered excessive or obsolete based upon assumptions about
future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market
conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional
inventory write-downs may be required, which could have a material adverse
effect on the results of our operations.

Deferred tax asset


We estimate a valuation allowance in consideration of the realizability of our
net deferred tax assets, primarily based on our assessment of the timing,
likelihood and amounts of potential future income during which such items become
deductible. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts,
as we must determine the probability of various possible outcomes and estimate
future amounts. Management does not believe it is more likely than not that we
will generate future income in a timeframe and amount sufficient to realize our
net deferred tax assets. Changes in management's estimate of future income in
the timeframe during which the temporary differences and carryforwards
comprising our deferred tax assets become deductible could result in a material
impact to our financial position including the recognition of a net deferred tax
asset.

Accounting Policies

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting
estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain
at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably
could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably
likely to occur, could materially impact the condensed consolidated financial
statements. We believe that our critical accounting policies reflect the more
significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note. 2 Basis of Presentation and
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the notes to our
condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.

(1)Not Meaningful


Revenue

Revenue increased $0.3 million, or 9%, for the three months ended September 30,
2022, compared to the same period of 2021. Revenue in the third quarter of 2022
included approximately $3.2 million in EksoHealth revenue and approximately $0.1
million in EksoWorks revenue.

EksoHealth revenue increased approximately $0.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021. The increase in
revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the volume of EksoNR device sales
in the EMEA and APAC regions. EksoWorks revenue decreased approximately $0.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same
period of 2021. The decrease in EksoWorks revenue was primarily driven by a
reduction in the volume of EVO and EksoVest sales.

Gross profit


Gross profit decreased 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared
to the same period of 2021, driven by a decrease in gross profit margins in
EksoHealth and EksoWorks segments. Gross margin was approximately 51% for the
three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a gross margin of 59% for the
same period of 2021. The overall decrease in gross margin was primarily due to
the increase in EksoHealth service costs for both labor and materials usage, and
increases in inventory costs due to the continued global supply shortage.
Additionally, the average selling price for the EksoNR, on an aggregate basis
across all regions, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 12%
compared to the same period in 2021 as a result of a relative increase of
indirect device sales placed through our distributors. The decrease in gross
margin was partially offset by the relative increase in EksoHealth revenue,
which generally has higher gross margins, in overall revenue composition.

EksoHealth’s service costs have increased due to increased headcount, significant increases in shipping and freight costs related to service activities, and servicing an increased number of client units.

Functionnary costs


Research and development expenses increased $0.3 million, or 51%, for the three
months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021, primarily
due to an increase in product development activity mostly related to sustaining
engineering activity for the EksoNR and the development of next generation
products.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 millionor 16%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022compared to the same period of 2021, primarily due to increased business development activities and costs associated with our move to our new headquarters and manufacturing facility in
San Rafael, California.

Total other (expense) income, net


Gain on revaluation of warrant liabilities was $0.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2022, and was associated with the revaluation of warrants
issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Gain on warrant liabilities was $1.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2021, and was associated with the
revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Gains and losses on
revaluation of warrants are primarily driven by changes in our stock price and
the risk-free rate.

Unrealized loss on foreign exchange for the three months ended September 30,
2022 was $0.7 million compared to an unrealized loss on foreign exchange of $0.3
million for the same period of 2021. The unrealized loss was primarily the
result of foreign currency revaluations of our inter-company monetary assets and
liabilities.

Revenue

Revenue increased $2.2 million, or 31%, for the nine months ended September 30,
2022, compared to the same period of 2021. Revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 included approximately $8.3 million in EksoHealth revenue and
approximately $1.0 million in EksoWorks revenue.

EksoHealth revenue increased approximately $2.0 million, or 32%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021. The
increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the volume of EksoNR
device sales in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. EksoWorks revenue
increased approximately $0.2 million, or 19%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021. The increase in revenue
was primarily related to the recognition of previously deferred prepaid
royalties associated with a license and distribution agreement that expired.

Gross profit


Gross profit increased 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared
to the same period of 2021, largely driven by the increase in EksoHealth revenue
as discussed above. Gross margin was approximately 48% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to a gross margin of 60% for the same period of
2021. The overall decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in
EksoHealth service costs for both labor and materials usage, and increases in
inventory costs due to the continued global supply shortage. The decrease in
gross margin was partially offset by the recognition of previously deferred
prepaid royalties associated with a license and distribution agreement that
expired.

EksoHealth service costs increased due to increased headcount and the servicing
of an increased number of customer units, owing to the receipt of service parts
during the period, the shortage of which had previously precluded the completion
of service. Additionally, we have experienced significant increases in the cost
of shipping and freight related to service activities.

Functionnary costs


Research and development expenses increased $0.9 million, or 48%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021, due to an
increase in product development activity mostly related to sustaining
engineering activity for the EksoNR.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 18%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021, primarily
due to noncash stock-based compensation related to the appointment of our new
Chief Executive Officer, severance expense associated with the departure of our
former Chief Executive Officer, an increase in business development activities,
and costs associated with our move to our new headquarters and manufacturing
facility in San Rafael, California.

Total other (expense) income, net


Gain on revaluation of warrant liabilities was $1.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, and was associated with the revaluation of warrants
issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Gain on warrant liabilities was $2.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and was associated with the
revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Gains and losses on
revaluation of warrants are primarily driven by changes in our stock price and
risk free rate.

Gain on forgiveness of note payable of $1.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, related to the forgiveness of our PPP Loan. There was no
comparable item in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Unrealized loss on foreign exchange for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
was $1.7 million compared to an unrealized loss on foreign exchange of
$0.6 million for the same period of 2021. The unrealized loss was primarily due
to foreign currency revaluations of our inter-company monetary assets and
liabilities.


Cash and capital resources


Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts toward the
development and commercialization of exoskeletons for the medical and industrial
markets. and toward raising capital. We have financed our operations primarily
through the issuance and sale of equity securities for cash consideration and
through bank debt.

Cash and capital resources

————————————————– ——————————

Contents


On September 30, 2022, we had working capital of $28.9 million, compared to
working capital of $40.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in working
capital was primarily due to a lower cash balance from cash used in operations.
Our cash as of September 30, 2022, consisted of bank deposits with third party
financial institutions. As of September 30, 2022, of our $29.2 million of cash,
$28.1 million was held domestically while $1.1 million was held by foreign
subsidiaries.

As described in Note 8 in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the
caption Notes Payable, net, borrowings under our new secured term loan agreement
with Pacific Western Bank have a requirement of minimum cash on hand equivalent
to the current outstanding principal balance. As of September 30, 2022, $2.0
million of cash must remain as restricted. After considering cash restrictions,
effective unrestricted cash as of September 30, 2022 is estimated to be $27.2
million. With this unrestricted cash balance, we believe that we currently have
sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond the look forward period of one
year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net cash used in operating activities


Net cash used in operations increased $3.0 million, or 37%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to
higher payments for business development costs incurred in late 2021, increased
employee compensation, and increased inventory purchases.

Net cash used in investment activities


Net cash used in investing activities increased $0.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021 due to cash
outflows for leasehold improvements for our new headquarters and manufacturing
facility in San Rafael, California.

Net cash provided by financing activities


Net cash provided by financing activities of $38.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, was generated from the sale of common stock and
warrants for net proceeds of $36.5 million in connection with the equity
financing, net proceeds of $0.7 million from our "at the market offering"
program, and proceeds of $1.4 million from the exercise of warrants. There was
no comparable amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Material cash needs


Our material cash requirements include the following items, some of which are
represented in the table of Contractual Obligations and Commitments: (1)
employee wages, benefits and incentives, (2) the procurement of raw materials
and components to support the manufacturing and sale of our products, (3)
expenditures for the ongoing improvement and development of existing and new
technologies, (4) debt repayments (for additional information see Note 8 in the
notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in
the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and (5) operating lease payments (for
additional information see Note 9 in the notes to our condensed consolidated

In response to, or in anticipation of, supplier disruptions and extended lead
times, we may stockpile certain components or raw materials to help prevent
disruption in our production of the EksoNR. Such purchasing behavior is a
contributing factor to the increase in purchase obligations as compared to prior
periods. These actions have, and could continue to have, a short-term adverse
impact on our cash used in operating activities and increase our inventory
balance. Obligations related to these activities are reflected in the line
purchase obligations in the table above.

Refer to Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our license agreements, purchase
obligations, and lease commitments.

It is an ever-changing world and Malta must continue to diversify its economy without neglecting the central pillar of manufacturing, EU official and potential MEP candidate Peter Agius said during a visit to ST micro electronics.

Agius was welcomed by ST Management Laurent Filipozzi and Philippe Zammit and visited the company’s facilities in Kirkop. ST Microelectronics celebrated 40 years of business in Malta last year. The company produces high-tech components primarily for the automotive industry, employing over 1,800 staff in Malta alone.

“At ST, I felt the irresistible force of a company charting a course for greater success, confident in its strengths: a dynamic Maltese and international workforce and constant innovation. I met operators, engineers, technicians and leaders, all sharing a deep commitment to excellence in every detail, from health and safety to improving energy efficiency, including training and innovation. said Pierre Agius

“Our membership of the EU must be a vector for safeguarding and increasing the competitiveness of Maltese companies. Ongoing negotiations on state aid, transport, FDI, corporate rules and EU taxation must take into account the size and character of our economy. If we want manufacturing to continue to thrive in Malta, we need to adapt EU rules to suit us better. We joined a union after painstaking negotiations on all its aspects 20 years ago. This union is constantly evolving and we must continue to negotiate the best deal for our companies and our workers. added Dr. Agius.

Peter Agius, former head of the European Parliament’s office in Malta and speechwriter to President Antonio Tajani, launched his candidacy to run as an MEP candidate earlier this month. A veteran of the European institutions where he has worked since Malta joined, Agius regularly insists on the need to adapt EU policies to the particular needs of Maltese realities with a view to the greater benefit of the Union to all. sectors of Maltese society.

“Malta can derive greater benefit from the European Union if we become more effective in representing Maltese interests in Brussels and further sensitize and empower our communities in Malta. This is why I vouch to be your voice as an MEP, representing Malta with renewed energy so that we can reap more concrete results from EU membership,” Agius concluded. .
