 materials is regulated by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and specified agencies
of certain states, as well as the Israeli Ministry for Environmental Protection, for the possession, transfer, import, export, use, storage,
handling and disposal of radioactive materials. We are also subject to international laws and regulations that apply to manufacturers
of radiation-emitting devices and products utilizing radioactive materials. These are often comparable to, if not more stringent than,
the equivalent regulations in the United States. The use of Thorium-228 in our manufacturing processes, and Radium-224 in our Alpha DaRT
technology, involves the inherent risk of exposure from alpha and beta particle emissions to the patient receiving the sources implanted,
the clinicians administering the Alpha DaRT technology, our employees and others who may handle our products, which can alter or harm
healthy cells in the body. Additionally, as we continue to develop our Alpha DaRT technology we may experiment with increased amounts
of radiation in an attempt to increase the potential efficacy of our technology, which could heighten the potential risk of radiation
exposure. We and such third parties are subject to the Israeli and U. S. federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations governing
the use, manufacture, storage, handling, and disposal of radiological, medical and hazardous materials. Although we believe that our and
such third-parties’ procedures for using, handling, storing and disposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards,
we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from radiological, medical or hazardous materials. As a result
of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or Israeli and U. S. local, city, state, provincial or federal authorities
may curtail the use of these materials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for
damages or penalized with fines, and the liability could exceed our resources. Compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations
is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could
harm our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations. We currently maintain insurance coverage for injuries resulting
from the hazardous materials we use; however, future claims may exceed the amount of our coverage. Also, we do not have insurance coverage
for pollution cleanup and removal. Currently the costs of complying with such Israeli and U. S. federal, state, provincial, local and foreign
environmental regulations are not significant, and consist primarily of
