COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
 
A.
On March 4, 2004, the OCS provided Integrity Israel with a grant of approximately $93,462 (NIS 420,000), for its plan to develop a non-invasive blood glucose monitor (the "Development Plan"). Integrity Israel is required to pay royalties to the OCS at a rate ranging between 3-5% of the proceeds from the sale of the Group's products arising from the Development Plan up to an amount equal to $93,462, plus interest at LIBOR from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2013, the contingent liability with respect to royalty payment on future sales equals approximately $93,462, excluding interest. Such contingent obligation has no expiration date.
 
 
B.
Integrity Israel currently leases approximately 3,100 sq. ft. of office space in the city of Ashkelon, Israel for its principal offices and prototype laboratory.  The lease term began on February 1, 2006 and was extended until January 31, 2009.  Pursuant to a verbal agreement with the landlord, Integrity Israel currently leases this facility on a monthly basis at a cost of approximately $3,300 (NIS 11,500).

 
C.
In 2010, the Company engaged Andrew Garrett, Inc. as its exclusive placement agent (the "Placement Agent") in connection with an offering on a "best efforts" basis of a minimum 560,000 shares and a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $6.25 per share (the "2010 Offering").  Pursuant to a placement agent agreement with the Placement Agent, the Placement Agent (or its sub-agents) was entitled to receive, as a commission, an amount equal to 7% of the funds raised in the offerings, such amounts to be paid in cash, plus 3% of the funds as a management fee plus a 3% non-accountable expense allowance (13% in the aggregate).  In addition, the placement agent agreement required the Company to issue to the Placement Agent (or its sub-agents) warrants to purchase up to 10% of the shares of Common Stock issued to investors (or underlying convertible securities issued to investors) in connection with the offerings at a price per share that will be equal to the offering price and subject to certain price adjustments.  In 2012, the Company engaged the Placement Agent, on substantially the same financial terms as those described above, in connection with an offering of up to $5,000,000 of its Common Stock, which offering was subsequently converted to an offering of up to $7,500,000 of Units consisting of Preferred Stock and Warrants (the "2012 Offering").
 
 
In connection with the 2010 Offering and the 2012 Offering, the Company paid to the Placement Agent $820,493, $150,202 and $366,412, in cash during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  See Note 10C-10N as per warrants issued to the Placement Agent.

 
D.
Y.H. Dimri Holdings, which was a shareholder of Integrity Israel prior to the reorganization and merger described in Note 1 ("Dimri"), has alleged (post the reorganization) that, in connection with such reorganization, certain of Dimri's rights in Integrity Israel were violated.  Under Dimri's investment agreement, certain rights in Integrity Israel were granted to Dimri, including an anti-dilution provision that provided that Dimri's holdings in Integrity Israel would not be diluted below 18% of Integrity Israel's issued capital shares as a result of any investment in Integrity Israel.  On the date of the reorganization, Dimri owned 18% of Integrity Israel's ordinary shares and, therefore, upon the completion of the reorganization, Dimri was entitled to receive 18% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on such date in exchange for his shares in Integrity Israel, subject to the fulfillment of certain requirements.  The Company's management, considering the legal advice of its Israeli legal counsel, believes that, given that Dimri no longer owns shares in Integrity Israel as a result of the reorganization, rights attached to the shares in Integrity Israel no longer exist in Integrity Israel and do not and have never existed in the Company.  However, Dimri has refused to acknowledge or agree to the termination of these rights and has challenged the Company's position.
 
 
On June 23, 2011, Dimri appealed to the District Court of HaMerkaz District in Petah Tikva, Israel, requesting the court to appoint an arbitrator to decide the dispute between Integrity Israel, the founders of Integrity Israel and Mr. Dimri (HPB 40754-06-11). On September 25, 2011, Integrity Israel's legal counsel filed an answer with the Court, disputing the facts and allegation raised in Dimri's motion and suggesting choosing an arbitrator with certain capacities, experience and skills. On December 26, 2011, an arbitrator was appointed in this matter.
 
 
On March 20, 2012, Dimri submitted a statement of claim to the arbitrator and pled for a declaratory judgment against Integrity Israel and the founders of Integrity Israel.  Dimri claimed that its rights under the loan and investment agreement, Integrity Israel's Articles of Association and two other internal agreements entered into among the founders of Integrity Israel are valid and in effect.  Dimri also pled for an injunction requiring the founders of Integrity Israel to transfer shares of the Company's Common Stock held by them to Dimri, from time to time, in such amounts necessary so that Dimri's holdings in the Company would not be diluted below 18% of the Company's issued share capital at any time.  The defendants in the arbitration submitted a statement of defense on May 28, 2012 and Dimri submitted a reply on June 14, 2012.  At a preliminary session held on June 19, 2012, the arbitrator suggested that the parties meet with him in order to examine whether a settlement can be reached.  A meeting for this purpose had been set for August 27, 2012 but has been postponed by the arbitrator.  After several postponements, Dimri submitted its affidavits on October 16, 2012. The defendants submitted their affidavits on February 7, 2013. Testimony and summary hearings have been conducted during June 2013. Thereafter, the parties have entered into settlement discussions, which have not yet been concluded.
 
 
The Company does not know what other actions Dimri will ultimately bring, if any, and against whom they will be brought. Nevertheless, the Company, its legal counsel and Integrity Israel's legal counsel believe that the Company and Integrity Israel have substantial defenses to any such claims and appropriate claims and counterclaims of their own and they intend to strongly defend against any such action by Dimri and to assert their own claims and counterclaims as they deem necessary.
 
 
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Company, considering the advice of its Israeli legal counsel, is unable to assess or make any estimate of the amount of the reasonably possible range of loss, if any. Accordingly, no provision has been made for this claim.
