A.
Integrity Applications, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on May 18, 2010, under the laws of the State of Delaware.  On July 15, 2010, Integrity Acquisition Corp. Ltd. (hereinafter: "Integrity Acquisition"), a wholly owned Israeli subsidiary of the Company which was established on May 23, 2010, completed a merger with A.D. Integrity Applications Ltd. (hereinafter: "Integrity Israel"), an Israeli corporation which was previously held by the stockholders of the Company.  Pursuant to the merger, all stockholders, option holders and warrant holders of Integrity Israel received an equal number of shares, options and warrants of the Company, as applicable in exchange for their shares, options and/or warrants in Integrity Israel.  Following the merger, Integrity Israel remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  As the merger transaction constitutes a structural reorganization, the merger has been accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  On this basis, stockholders' equity (deficit) has been retroactively restated such that each ordinary share of Integrity Israel is reflected in stockholders' equity as a share of Common Stock of the Company as of the date of the issuance thereof by Integrity Israel.  In addition, the historical financial statements of the Company for all dates and periods prior to May 18, 2010 have been retroactively restated to reflect the activities of Integrity Israel.
 
In November 2011, the Company completed registration of part of its shares with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
Integrity Israel was incorporated in 2001 and commenced its operations in 2002.  Integrity Israel, a medical device company, focuses on the design, development and commercialization of non-invasive glucose monitoring devices for home use by persons suffering with diabetes.
 
Since its inception, Integrity Israel has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development and raising capital, and has not yet generated any revenues.  Accordingly, Integrity Israel (and therefore the Company) is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, "Development Stage Entities".
 
 
B.
Going concern uncertainty
 
S ince its incorporation (May 18, 2010), the Company has not had any operations other than those carried out by Integrity Israel.  The development and commercialization of Integrity Israel's product is expected to require additional substantial expenditures.  Integrity Israel has not yet generated any revenues from its operations to fund its activities, and therefore is dependent upon external sources for financing its operations. There can be no assurance that Integrity Israel and, therefore, the Company will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing to continue their operations.  Since inception, Integrity has incurred accumulated losses of US$ 13,152,472 and cumulative negative operating cash flow of US$ 9,752,640.  These factors raise substantial doubt about Integrity Israel and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  During 2010, the Company raised funds via the issuance of Common Stock (including via the conversion of convertible notes), in a total amount of approximately US$4 million (before related expense). During 2011, the Company raised funds via the issuance of Common Stock in a total amount of approximately US$ 2.4 million (net of related expenses). The Company may need to secure additional capital in the future in order to meet its anticipated liquidity needs.  The Company would expect to secure additional capital primarily through the sale of additional Common Stock or other equity securities and/or debt financing.  Funds from these sources may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, and they cannot give assurance that they will be successful in securing such additional capital.
 
 
C.
Risk factors
 
The Company and Integrity Israel (collectively, the "Group") have a limited operating history and face a number of risks, including uncertainties regarding finalization of the development process, demand and market acceptance of the Group's products, the effects of technological changes, competition and the development of other new products by competitors.  Additionally, other risk factors also exist, such as the ability to manage growth and the effect of planned expansion of operations on the Group's future results.
 
In addition, the Group expects to continue incurring significant operating costs and losses in connection with the development of its product and increased marketing efforts.
 
As mentioned above, the Group has not yet generated any revenues from its operations to fund its activities and therefore the Group is dependent on the receipt of additional funding from its stockholders and investors in order to continue as a going concern.
 
 
D.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to stock based compensation and to the going on concern assumption.
