Overview

 

ScoutCam Inc

 

Our Israeli affiliate, ScoutCam Ltd. and its Nevada parent ScoutCam Inc. have developed a range of micro CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) and CCD (charge-coupled device) video cameras, including micro ScoutCam™ 1.2. These innovative cameras are suitable for both medical and industrial applications. Based on its proprietary technology, ScoutCam designs and manufactures endoscopy and micro camera systems for partner companies.

 

Reorganization - ScoutCam Ltd. was formed in Israel on January 3, 2019, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Medigus, and commenced operations on March 1, 2019. ScoutCam was incorporated as part of the reorganization of Medigus, which was designed to distinguish ScoutCam’s miniaturized imaging business, or the micro ScoutCam portfolio, from Medigus’ other operations and to enable Medigus to form a separate business unit with dedicated resources focused on the promotion of such technology. In December 2019, Medigus and ScoutCam consummated an Amended and Restated Asset Transfer Agreement, effective March 1, 2019, which transferred and assigned certain assets and intellectual property rights related to its miniaturized imaging business. On March 1, 2019, 12 employees moved from Medigus to ScoutCam. The vast majority of these employees were from the Production and R&D departments. Therefore, their transfer caused large changes in the data of these two line items.

 

In addition, the Company has been engaged in the development, production and marketing of innovative surgical devices with direct visualization capabilities for the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, a common ailment, which is predominantly treated by medical therapy (e.g. proton pump inhibitors) or in chronic cases, conventional open or laparoscopic surgery.
