Operator

Greetings, and welcome to NANO-X IMAGING LTD third quarter 2020 earnings conference call. At this time all participants are in a listen only mode, a question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. A reminder this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Bob Yedid, with LifeSci Advisors. Please proceed.

Bob Yedid
Managing Director, LifeSci Advisors

Thank you, operator, and thanks to everyone for joining Nano-X Imaging third quarter conference call. On today's call, we will hear from Ran Poliakine, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, and Itzhak Maayan, Nanox's Chief Financial Officer. Lydia Edwards, President of Nanox USA, will join the team for the Q&A at the conclusion of the management's prepared remarks. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that management's remarks may contain forward-looking statements regarding the company's financial results, research and development, manufacturing and commercialization activities, regulatory process, operations, the impact of COVID-19 on its business, and other matters. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and are based on the top management's current expectations as of today and may not be updated in the future. Therefore, these statements should not be relied upon as representing the company's views as of any subsequent date.

Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information to investors. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is provided in our press release, with the primary differences being stock-based compensation expense adjustments. With those prepared remarks, it is my pleasure to turn the call over to Nanox's Chairman and CEO, Ran Poliakine. Ran?

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Thank you very much, Bob, and thank you everybody joining our first quarterly conference call as a public company. It's very exciting times. As Bob mentioned, also joining me on the call this morning is Itzhak Maayan, our Chief Financial Officer. Lydia Edwards, our President of Nanox USA, is also on the call and will join us for the Q&A session. On August 25, we closed a very successful initial public offering, including the full exercise of the underwriter's option, which raised gross proceeds to the company of approximately $190 million. This transaction, which was a result of tireless work on behalf of the entire Nanox team, together with a successfully crossover financing round that closed in July, provides capital for Nanox to continue to execute on our vision. To increase early detection of medical conditions that are discoverable by X-ray and significantly expand access to medical screening globally.

Our investors include strategic partners such as SK Telecom, Foxconn, and Fujifilm, as well as new institutional investors that share and support management's long-term vision of the company. Let's talk a bit about the need. The market needs. We founded Nanox to address a significant unmet need in medical imaging. There has been a lack of meaningful innovation in legacy analog X-ray systems since the invention by Wilhelm Röntgen more than 120 years ago. High-end X-ray products are very expensive and complex, resulting in machines that are very expensive to purchase, maintain, and operate, not to talk about their very large footprint. In short, these machines are too costly and complex for mass global deployment. As a result, it is estimated that approximately two-thirds of the world population has no meaningful access to medical imaging, while the remaining one-third often experience long waiting time.

There is a significant missed opportunity here, and we decided to pursue it. Since access to medical imaging allows for early detection of serious disease such as cancer and cardiovascular failures when they are more treatable, early detection has the potential to drive improved patient outcome and reduce cost to healthcare systems around the world. I'm going to talk a bit about Nanox.ARC. Nanox.ARC is one of the components of our system, and with Nanox.ARC, we developed a novel digital X-ray source that we believe addresses the drawbacks of the current technologies and will enable a new class of medical imaging systems that can be produced at a significantly lower cost than existing systems. Our technology has its roots in field emission technology or field-emission display, which was originally developed by Sony in Japan.

After investing substantial financial and human resources for over a decade, it successfully developed this technology for the television industry. Sony ceased development of this project in 2011 about, and Nanox acquired the underlying know-how for the FED technology in 2012, retained the original development team from Sony, and spent over eight more years developing a digital X-ray source for the medical imaging industry that could be produced on a commercial scale. What we're talking about is a very deep and proprietary technology that took years and substantial R&D investment to bring it to its current status. This technology is protected by patents that have been granted to Nanox. Based on our digital X-ray technology, we are developing what we believe is a new breed of medical imaging device that we call the Nanox.ARC.

The Nanox.ARC is a low-cost machine manufactured at a fraction of the cost of the current imaging equipment, that will potentially revolutionize global availability of medical imaging. Our Nanox.ARC is a full-body, multipurpose tomosynthesis X-ray system that we believe is capable, once approved by the applicable regulatory bodies, of delivering medical imaging for a wide range of clinical procedure inside and outside of hospitals and large imaging centers. With that, I want to switch gears into the Nanox.CLOUD, which is the other part of the system. In addition to the significant lower cost and reduced size of Nanox.ARC versus existing X-ray machine, another key advantage of Nanox.ARC is its seamless integration with the Nanox.CLOUD. Our purpose-built cloud-based platform that seamlessly connects Nanox.ARC with the medical professional who review and interpret the images.

Radiology diagnostic are a significant bottleneck in providing early detection because there are not enough licensed radiologists to review and analyze scans, and in most cases, licensed radiologists are not located in close proximity to the imaging devices. To avoid potentially magnifying the bottleneck with the deployment of the first wave of Nanox.ARC systems, we developed the Nanox.CLOUD to connect third-party radiology diagnostic services to the Nanox.ARC and provide potentially billing control, among other features. Images captured by the Nanox.ARC are transmitted through the Nanox.CLOUD safely and securely to radiologists and enables connectivity to AI-driven systems, which can provide an initial analysis and decision-assistive information to those radiologists. With the Nanox.CLOUD, hospitals and doctors would also be able to get a real-time access to medical imaging scans, which would have the potential to facilitate timely patient care.

The Nanox.CLOUD is a central backbone of our Nano-X Imaging system, and it's expected to be HIPAA and GDPR compliant, and interoperable with existing medical system via API, which is application programming interface to other devices. With that, I wanted to touch upon a bit of what happened during the third quarter in Nanox following the IPO. Turning now to the recent development of the company. Of course, the key element is to execute our strategy. To do that, we further strengthened both the leadership team and the board of directors. First, we were pleased to announce that Mr. Park, CEO of SK Telecom, has joined our board. SK Telecom is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of semiconductors. They are both an investor in Nanox as well as strategic partner.

In addition to our collaboration agreement with SK Telecom to deploy 2,500 Nanox.ARC systems across South Korea and Vietnam, we are currently working to establish a full-owned Korean subsidiary that will focus on scaling up production of the Nanox X-ray source semiconductors while leveraging SK's deep expertise in the area of semiconductors. Mr. Park's insights and guidance will be invaluable as we establish and grow our footprint, particularly in Asia. Furthermore, in September, we announced the appointment of Gilad Yron, our Chief Business Officer, in this newly created role. Gilad will play a lead role in executing our existing MSaaS agreement, medical screening as a service, while in parallel refining the company's commercial strategy and overseeing customer-facing activities. Gilad bring to Nanox team extensive experience leading high-tech organizations, and rounds out what I believe is a world-class team capable of realizing our vision for the company.

Also, since the IPO, we signed agreements with SPI Medical to deploy Nanox.ARC units in Mexico and Guatemala, and Ambra Health, a leading medical data and image management cloud software company, to facilitate the transfer of medical images between U.S. hospitals and medical imaging providers. Itzhak will provide more details on this agreement in a moment. Let's talk about regulatory. At this point, I would like to provide a brief update on the regulatory approval process. Recall that in January 2020, we submitted a 510(k) application to the FDA under its third-party review program for a single source of Nanox version of Nanox.ARC. In March 2020, we received a request for additional information from the third-party reviewer, which we responded to in September 2020.

Nanox is working to continue to optimize and develop additional features in the Nanox.ARC, and we plan to submit an additional 510(k) application for the multi-source version of Nanox.ARC in the coming months. The multi-source version of the Nanox.ARC will be the imaging system that we will seek to commercialize with our partners. We currently expect to receive FDA clearance for the multi-source system by mid-2021, which would allow us to deploy our first machine during the second half of 2021 in the U.S. and in other countries. We anticipate that the Nanox.ARC imaging procedures in the U.S. will be covered by existing radiology CPT reimbursement codes. In parallel, we remain on track to submit the multi-source version of the Nanox.ARC for CE mark approval by the first quarter of 2021, and anticipate possible clearance in the EU next year as well.

I know that everybody is very interested to hear about the RSNA. Before turning the call over to Itzhak to review the few financial highlights, I would like to remind you that we intend to conduct a live demonstration of our technology at the upcoming annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. This year, the RSNA conference will be a virtual medical meeting held from November 29th- December 5th. At the meeting, we will demonstrate live our digital X-ray technology in a range of 2D and 3D medical imaging procedures. This session will be followed by a lecture and presentations of clinical applications of Nanox.ARC system by well-known radiologists and company distribution partners. We intend to make this material available to our investors and global stakeholders so they can join and witness our technology.

At this point, I will turn the call over to Itzhak to discuss the market, competition, our business model, and financials. Itzhak, please.

Itzhak Maayan
CFO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Thank you, Ran. Let's turn to the large market that Nano-X Imaging is pursuing. The estimated size of the X-ray-based medical imaging market is approximately $21 billion. To large extent, it is dominated by many large multinational organizations, including GE, Philips, and Siemens. One may wonder how relatively small companies such as ours can compete effectively. Our strategy is to expand the medical imaging market so that we are not competing with and do not intend to take away market share from those existing players. Instead, we intend to increase the size of the pie. The existing dominant players in the medical imaging market primarily target hospitals and large medical imaging centers.

We intend to target other places that deliver healthcare services that are not able to afford expensive medical imaging systems, such as urgent care units and outpatient clinics, and countries where most of the population does not have meaningful access to medical imaging because there are simply not enough imaging machines. We are ultimately offering availability and affordability with the Nanox.ARC. We will aim to target many healthcare providers who do not have medical imaging capabilities, and thereby, increase the size of the market while avoiding head-to-head competition with the big players in the market that already exists. A distinct advantage of Nanox is our flexible business model. The MSaaS model allows healthcare providers to pay on a per-scan basis, avoiding the significant upfront capital expenditures, sometimes measured in millions of dollars per machine, that are associated with legacy X-ray technology.

Even with the guaranteed minimum services fees that are included in our customer contracts at seven scans per day and $40 per scan to Nanox, the initial outlay is far less for the Nanox system than the conventional X-ray machine. We believe that this financial model is critical to our vision to increase early detection of medical conditions that are discoverable by X-ray, by eliminating the significant upfront capital cost of X-ray systems as a barrier to broader adoption, while providing long-term value to our shareholders. To that end, it is our goal to globally deploy 16,000 Nanox.ARC units by the end of 2024. We are very pleased with the significant progress we are making towards this goal. We've contracted deployment of 5,150 systems with nine service providers in 13 countries, contingent upon regulatory approval, customer acceptance, and other factors.

During the third quarter of 2020, we signed an initial seven-year MSaaS agreement with SPI Medical to deploy 630 Nanox.ARC units across Mexico and Guatemala. SPI distributes specialty pharmaceutical products and medical devices across Mexico and works with global health imaging leaders such as Philips, GE, Siemens, and Toshiba. Using the contractual minimum of seven scans per day at $40 per scan payable to Nanox, this contract is expected to generate minimum annual service fees of $17 million to the company once all systems are deployed and upon obtaining the necessary regulatory approval and additional contractual terms. In addition, we signed strategic collaboration agreements aiming to deploy an additional 5,500 units in the U.S., Korea, and Vietnam using our MSaaS business model.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we announced an agreement with Ambra Health, a leading medical data and image management cloud software company, to facilitate the transfer of medical images between U.S. hospitals and medical imaging providers. Ambra will serve as the enterprise image exchange solution integrated with planned U.S. Nanox.AI system deployments via the Nanox.CLOUD infrastructure. The Ambra suite consolidates multiple imaging systems into a cloud storage platform that lets medical imaging be accessed securely anytime, anywhere. Leading facilities use Ambra to connect directly to multiple modalities and imaging systems, creating unified source of imaging data that is accessible to providers and patients. Ambra is the ideal partner for Nanox as their solution perfectly complements the Nanox.ARC and Nanox.CLOUD.

In summary, over the past year, we were able to form what we believe is a very strong coalition of strategic partners, service providers, and AI technology partners that share our vision and our go-to-market initiatives. For the financial review. On August 25th, 2020, we announced that we had closed a very successful initial public offering of 10.5 shares of our ordinary shares at $18 per share. The net proceeds of the offering to the company, after underwriting discounts and commission and related expenses, were approximately $170 million. This included the full exercise of the underwriter's option. We want to express the appreciation to the high-quality healthcare dedicated and general investment funds in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Israel that became shareholders in Nanox. The Nanox offering was one of the top five largest pure MedTech IPOs completed since 2015 on the Nasdaq.

Together with proceeds from the earlier crossover funding round, we ended the third quarter of 2020 with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $240 million and with no debt. We believe our current cash is sufficient to fully execute on our plan of manufacturing, shipping, and installing 15,000 Nanox.ARC systems globally while continuing to expand our delivery capabilities and invest in our clinical and product roadmap. Highlighting a few key financial statement items. non-GAAP net loss attributed to ordinary shares for the third quarter of 2020 was $5.1 million compared to non-GAAP net loss of $1.9 million in the prior year period. A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss for the three-month period ended September 30th, 2019, is provided in the financial results that are part of the press release we issued this morning.

The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net loss to ordinary shares is mainly due to share-based compensation. Non-GAAP research and development expenses for the third quarter 2020 were $1.5 million as compared to $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2019, reflecting the increased development activities of our Nanox system. Non-GAAP marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $0.5 million as compared to $0.5 million for the comparable period in 2019, as we continue building our brand awareness and product marketing capabilities. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2020 were $3.1 million as compared to $1 million for the comparable period in 2019, as we ramped up our investment in expanding our management team and the overall organization infrastructure, in addition to increased costs related with the company's IPO. Net cash used in operating activities during the quarter was $3.4 million.

As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately 45.6 million shares outstanding. We want to make investors aware that we will be participating in several upcoming virtual conferences, including the Berenberg CEO Conference on November 12th, the Jefferies London Healthcare Conference on November 17th, and the Canaccord 2020 Medical Technologies and Diagnostics Forum in November 19th. We hope to have the opportunity to meet you, virtually of course, at one of these events. We would now like to open the call for questions. Ran and I will be joined by Lydia Edwards, President of Nanox USA. Operator, please start the Q&A session.

Operator

Thank you. At this time, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in a question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment while we poll for our first question. Our first question comes from Suraj Kalia with Oppenheimer. Please proceed with your question.

Suraj Kalia
Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co

Good morning, Ran. Good morning, Itzhak. Can you hear me all right?

Itzhak Maayan
CFO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Absolutely.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Yes, we can.

Itzhak Maayan
CFO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Very good.

Suraj Kalia
Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co

Perfect. Ran, bunch of questions. On the 510(k) application for the single source, I know it's just been a few weeks. When do you expect any feedback from the FDA, if at all?

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

From our point of view, our expectation is that in the very soon, in a matter of weeks actually, we will hear something through the third-party evaluator. I think, in the FDA matters, it's very hard to predict. I would say that we feel that we completed our submission, and we answer the additional information in a good manner, and therefore, the feedback should be coming soon. Of course, we cannot know that for sure.

Suraj Kalia
Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co

Got it. Ran, the devices to be commercialized by your partners are multi-source. When do you all expect to provide prototypes to your partners for their individual review?

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Yeah. In terms of process, as we speak right now, we are assembling about 10 of those devices in Israel. Those devices will need to go through a ruggedized test right now, and we will conduct some tests that also will impact the submission of the FDA, like safety and other type of tests. Once this will be concluded, we will ship some of the devices to our partners in order for them to be educated by Nanox staff and get training of how we operate it. All of that should be done as soon as those testing will get done, which is in the coming, I would say, months.

Suraj Kalia
Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co

Got it. Ran, I'll have two final questions, and I'll let others jump in then. The ceramic tube, can you give us a status update on the ceramic tube? That is first. The second and the last question, at least from my side, Ran, obviously, there has been a lot of speculation on the viability of the platform. At your RSNA live demo, what is the one thing that you would advise investors and skeptics per se, and say, "You know what. Have a look at this. This is the core competency that we bring, and this is, in essence, going to be a paradigm shift you need to watch out for." Thank you for taking my questions.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Okay. As you know, I think the tubes are being made by glass and ceramic. We're on our way to actually produce the ceramic tubes, getting ready to serial production so we can ship a lot of them. That's happening mainly in Korea, and that's going well. In terms of skepticism, I think it's not my role to tell skepticism how to assess. I do believe that seeing is believing. We do have a solid technology, and we believe that we're going to demonstrate our technology and explain the differences between our technology and the analog technology. It should, I believe, provide a lot of comfort because you can see the device, you can see it's taking images, you can see some radiologists talking about it. Overall, again, seeing is believing.

That's why we're going to feed live from one of the prominent places in Israel here, and I think, and I hope that that will be a good demonstration of Nanox technology and the platform that we're building.

Suraj Kalia
Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co

Thank you.

Operator

Our next question comes from Steve Halper with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please proceed with your question.

Steve Halper
Analyst, Cantor Fitzgerald

Hi. Two questions. In terms of the FDA single source submission, how important is that relative to the development on the multi-source, whether it's the prototypes or the next application? On an unrelated question, could you just talk to us about where you stand with Foxconn and their ability to ramp up assembly of the Arc devices, assuming you get the multi-source approval?

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Okay. Thank you, Steve. I think that the single source, multi-source is part of one strategy where we bring our X-shaped source, which is a novel thing, and put it in a device that has a predicate. It's not a precondition for the multi-source, we felt that while we had the single source, it was a good idea to take it through a regulatory path alongside with the multi-source. It's not a precondition that one will stop the other. That's kind of as to the strategy there. What was your second question? I'm sorry, Steve.

Steve Halper
Analyst, Cantor Fitzgerald

Ramping up production from Foxconn.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Oh, yeah.

Steve Halper
Analyst, Cantor Fitzgerald

For the Arc devices.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Oh, yeah. Foxconn is fully on board. We have routine meetings, engineers to engineers. It's important to them, all the way to the chairman of Foxconn. Our supply chain management and R&D are based in Korea and Israel, as you know. They're working very closely with Foxconn. The next step for them is for us to complete in Israel the 10 prototypes that will also go through regulatory-clearances while ramping up production. I do not expect any big issues in terms of ability to ramp up so that we can deliver the expected quantities in the second half of next year.

Steve Halper
Analyst, Cantor Fitzgerald

Thank you.

Operator

Our next question comes from Ravi Misra with Berenberg Capital. Please proceed.

Ravi Misra
Analyst, Berenberg Capital

Hi, Ran, it's Itzhak. Thank you for taking the question.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Hi.

Ravi Misra
Analyst, Berenberg Capital

First, on the commercial strategy, can you just walk us through how you guys go about identifying some of the partners and how that process plays out in terms of how long it takes and kind of what is the back and forth that you have between some of these customers?

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Sure. Itzhak, do you want to take this one?

Itzhak Maayan
CFO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Yeah, absolutely. It's a really good opportunity to speak about those service providers because we feel that we had a very good process of selecting partners that both have the experience as well as the capabilities of taking our offering to the respective market. It's important that we give some very visible examples, okay? If we're speaking about a 1,000-unit agreement that we have for the market of Australia and New Zealand, Norway, that came an agreement with the Gateway Group. Gateway Group is one of Australia's largest independent product distributors, as you know, and they already distribute things like health, wellness, medical supplies, and devices. They reach over 20,000 locations with presentation of medical device. They're bringing very good experience, very good presence in that particular market, and that's a three-year deal for 1,000 units.

Another good example is a company by the name of Promedica. That's for the Italian market. Promedica is a very interesting company that already provide more than 25 years of experience representing diagnostic imaging vendors such as Fuji, Fujifilm, Siemens Medical, GE HealthCare, and so forth. They also manage commercial strategic activities for multinational companies for the marketing of systems such as MR-guided focused ultrasound, a company by the name of Insightec, that many are familiar with, and robotic system for interventional radiology procedures such as IC. Those are only two examples, okay? I can speak more. If I need to summarize my answer to your question, we are looking for service providers that both come with in terms of accessibility to the market. They come with strong capabilities and most importantly, believe in our vision. They come to Israel.

All of them came to Israel. They've been to our demo room. They play with the device. They've seen the prototype. They came to recognition that in terms of the development stage of our device, they feel extremely comfortable that if we collaborate and work together in the respective market, bringing this MSaaS model on a per scan basis, pay per scan basis will be extremely successful.

Ravi Misra
Analyst, Berenberg Capital

Thanks. Maybe on Ambra Health and just the infrastructure build that's ongoing right now. Can you maybe help us understand how you perceive the end-to-end chain and kind of where the weak points are? Not necessarily weak points, where the gaps are that you need to continue to build out similar to the Ambra Health and USARAD partnerships. Like, what other work needs to be done here? Maybe Lydia, if you could take that one, or Ran or anyone.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Yeah, Lydia. I think Lydia can give a good perspective on the U.S. market. Lydia, please.

Lydia Edwards
President of Nanox USA, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Thank you, Ran. As far as the role USARAD will play in our collaboration, it's pretty simple. The goal of that business agreement is to have USARAD use its strong presence in the U.S. teleradiology market, as well as the standard radiology market, to deploy our systems. It's a strong partner for us, 25% owned by Siemens, which in and of itself gives it a professional component. The deal with USARAD is non-exclusive, as part of the partnership, USARAD is going to perform the teleradiology services, which via our Nanox.CLOUD, and based on the fact that their teleradiologists have a huge presence in the U.S. We can use that to build out our sales structure.

Now, as far as Ambra Health, and in terms of the agreement, Ran, do you want to take that, or do you want Itzhak to take that, or?

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Yeah, Itzhak, please take it.

Itzhak Maayan
CFO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Yeah. As we explained before, this is a very strong piece of the overall offering. You spoke about the entire platform. I think the Nanox.CLOUD, the best way to describe it, that this is a very important switchboard over the cloud that really connects an end-to-end offering that includes, obviously, the service provider, the one who is providing the images on the ground using our Nanox.ARC. It connects AI technology partners that is able to provide early annotation to the images, obviously provide accessibility to the radiologist who are enabling the diagnostics of the images.

The Ambra addition also provides the connectivity back to the hospital, especially the U.S., back to the patient and medical file, okay, in case this is necessary. What we are currently enabling is really an end-to-end suite of services that is allowing an end-to-end solution to the different service providers.

Ravi Misra
Analyst, Berenberg Capital

Great. Then maybe one last one just on RSNA. Did you guys announce what day the presentation would be on? Then just following that conference, can you help us understand, a little bit more, I appreciate the demo units that you're giving to your partners, but in terms of the clinical build-out, is there any other kind of study or partnerships with hospitals or universities that you're willing to announce here, in terms of how to build out more of the usage and the conversation around that aspect of the device? Thanks.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

I think, first of all, in terms of RSNA, it's a commercial conference that normally companies are attending to. Like any conference, we're going to have some materials on our science, on our technology. We're going to have some videos of our clinicians explaining what we're trying to do. We have partnership with Duke University, hopefully someone from there will explain the project that we are running together with them. We're going to have a full technology demo, explaining the chip and then the cube and the one system, multi-source system, and the way to acquire images. We're going to show a bit of the very, very unique geometry we have, or we could have, in order to create reconstruction images that are very accessible to radiologists.

All of that is part of the normal business when we go to such a trade show. Now we're going to reach out to the big guys. We are already in touch with many of the medical healthcare companies because we believe that our source can be used also for their usage. We believe that Nanox, as an underlying technology, should interest them, and I can confirm that we do have many dialogues with many of the big companies other than Fujifilm, that of course we announced. We're going to do that. We're going to reach out to service providers. Our website and our chief business officer is flooded with many companies from different countries that believe in our vision and trying to offer their services or their help under the MSaaS model.

All of these activities are going to be through the RSNA, as well as the live demo, which is basically going to be a combination of technology and clinician. We hopefully going to have on-site in Israel, top radiologists, actually from America, that are going to explain what we see. That's something very strong because it's actually connecting the dot between technology and clinician. That's for the RSNA. I think, going back to one of the questions before about skepticism, again, seeing is believing. We believe very much in our technology. We know what we have, and we know that from underlying technology, it really can disrupt the way people are doing this type of thing for the future. In terms of collaboration, as you know, we do have collaboration with a few university hospitals in Israel and elsewhere.

I do believe that through our very strong advisory board members, some of which coming from Stanford, Duke University, in the U.K., we are very strong also in Korea. We are working on a roadmap of utilizing and examining Nanox technology in different clinical settings. That's something that is coming. It's an ongoing effort, and I believe that when we have news to that end, we're going to introduce it. That's the answer to your question, Ravi.

Ravi Misra
Analyst, Berenberg Capital

Yeah. Great. I appreciate that level of detail. Look forward to speaking to you in a few days.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. At this time, there are no further questions in queue. I would like to turn the call back over to Mr. Ran Poliakine for closing comments.

Ran Poliakine
Chairman and CEO, NANO-X IMAGING LTD

Okay. Well, that concludes our call this morning. We hope that we were effective in conveying our enthusiasm for the opportunity that lies in front of us as a potential disruptor in the field of medical imaging. We look forward to providing updates on our progress along the way, including the conferences that Itzhak mentioned and our year-end update. Thank you again, and have a good day.
