Thank you, Mike. Good morning, and thank you all for joining our second quarter 2025 call. As we enter the second half of 2025, the entire Nanux team remains focused on disciplined execution and expanding our commercial footprint across our entire ecosystem, including AI and teleradiology solutions, as we pursue our vision of making medical imaging more accessible and thereby improving patient outcomes. In line with the commitments outlined during our May 2025 earnings goal, we are making steady progress toward our goal of 100 NanoX Arc Systems installations. Expanding our commercial footprint remains a top priority, and our sales team continues to expand the pipeline of qualified leads and successfully convert those leads into systems being shipped to customers. While most leads and new customer activity is now being sourced from the U.S. market, we also continue to expand our network in different countries outside of the U.S., including various European countries, such as Romania and Greece, on the heels of attaining the CE mark designation earlier this year. We are well on our way to meeting our target of 100 systems installed or being deployed by year's end. As previously indicated, revenues are expected to grow in the second half of 2025. We are also advancing our clinical strategy on multiple fronts as we seek to strengthen our position as a transformative force in medical imaging. To support this movement, we are acting on multiple fronts. clinical data and publication collaboration with global academic institutes, hands-on clinical education initiatives, and expanding our key opinion leaders network. In other words, our commercial rollout involves bringing new technology to the market while also working to change the habits of healthcare providers. With respect to academic partners supporting our transformative vision, we seek to partner with organizations that are leaders in medical imaging innovation. A prime example in our collaboration with researchers at Duke University Medical Center, which I'll tell you about later in my preferred remarks. Another example can be found in our recent announcement that Kaiser University, has established a flagship training and demonstration site integrating the NanoXARC into the radiology technology graduate program and enabling hands-on education for future imaging professionals. This is particularly exciting as the radiologists of the future are immersed in NanoXARC early in their careers. To raise awareness and drive education on the NanoXAR systems, we created the Clinical Education Program. The clinical education specialists who run this program play a central role delivering structured customer onboarding and ongoing training through site visits, working with the referral physicians, training the site personnel through webinars, and tailor educational plans. We recently launched the NanoX Academy digital platform tailored for our clients, partners, and our NanoX network collaborators, offering full product sales and clinical online training. Extending our clinical evidence, the ultimate output of these studies are peer-reviewed publications and white papers and academic publications derived from data generated by studies such as those currently being conducted with Shamir and Bellison Medical Centers. These papers demonstrate the diagnostic potential of our cold catheter tomosynthesis system and imaging, offering a low radiation cost-effective alternative to CT. Moreover, we are constantly expanding the number of images bank of case studies, which serves to help illustrate the capabilities of the NanoXARC system. This growing bank of scans also serves as a useful tool for our sales team when in discussions with imaging centers about the utility of the NanoXR. The final leg of our clinical development platform is our key opinion leaders network. This strategy is involving into structure segmented model that includes visionary leaders on our advisory board, clinical collaborators, and show sites. This approach enables us to amplify our clinical voice, holding seminars and webinars, talking about the clinical value in conferences while supporting pre-sales activities and beta testing in targeted specialties such as orthopedic and lung cancer screening. These efforts form a cohesive clinical narrative that supports commercializations, enhance credibility, and drives adoption positioning Nano-X as a category-defining innovator in low-cost 3D digital radiography. With that said, let's now move ahead to our operational highlights and updates. Turning now to our installation progress in key US markets. I'm happy to report that our pipeline has grown substantially since our last call. We continue to install systems in various facilities, primarily standalone, multi-specialty, small and medium-sized health clinics. These installations appear to be in line with the industry standard sales cycle. This increase in the sales pipeline is due to our investments in sales development representative initiatives, both internal and external, in order to increase the pipeline and conversion. These efforts are clearly resulting in traction with the medical imaging community, and our commercial ramp will remain a primary focus. On another promising note, a growing number of customers with nanoARC units installed are actively referring and scanning patients. Among the notable customers, the NanoXARC systems will soon be installed at Kaiser University's Sarasota campus for training healthcare professionals, including live demonstrations and incorporation into Kaiser University's Radiology Technology Graduate Program. We have also installed units in several imaging chains in California and New York. Of particular note, one of the largest medical imaging chains in the U.S., with hundreds of locations from which we recently generated revenues, has completed installation of the ARC and began NanoX ARC application training for its technicians in the last week of July. This is the final step before patient scanning begins, and we expect this chain to start scanning patients in the third quarter. The chain is also preparing to extend NanoX ARC deployment to a second site within its network. As many of you are aware, we are supplementing our direct sales effort via channel partnerships in select markets. And in the U.S. distributor partnerships we announced last quarter with ASI and Swiss Ray are both fully completed and are off to good starts. Additionally, we are in advanced negotiation with large distributor and equipment reseller with a presence throughout the U.S. To support these partnerships, we provide comprehensive training and onboarding, covering everything from systems fundamentals and clinical positioning to sales processes and contracting workflows. Our goal is to equip our partners with the tools and knowledge they may need to confidentially re-engage their networks and promote the NanoXR. As part of our efforts to expand our go-to-market strategy, we're working on developing a future project. NANUX is developing a mobile imaging solution that integrates the NANUX ARC system into a commercial vehicle. The mobile NANUX ARC vehicle will serve as a traveling medical imaging center, visiting clinics to provide high-quality diagnostic imaging without requiring patients to travel to central hospitals. The goal is to expand access to high-quality imaging, improving patient reach, and create new opportunities for service delivery and revenue growth. Turning to our rapidly growing Nano-X AI business, I'd like to share details of several product collaborations that we are working on. First, I'm pleased to announce that Nano-X AI and a leading provider of advanced AI-powered medical imaging solutions are collaborating to integrate Nano-X AI's liver and bone products with the provider's advanced visualization software. This new partnership will allow us to extend the benefits of NanoX AI to a larger customer base, enhancing our collective offering and providing greater value to our users. Another commercial collaboration I can share is between NanoX AI and a leading company which provide an AI power health informatics with the aim of empowering breakthroughs in care through imaging. The collaboration leverages advanced AI for operational efficiency and improved clinical outcomes in lung. In another recent example, we have signed an agreement with DeepSea to incorporate cardiac, bone, and liver products onto the DeepSea platform, and DeepSea is a multinational company which markets an infrastructure platform, DeepSeaOS, designed to unify diverse radiology AI workflow across the enterprise. Having NanoX AI solutions integrated within this platform will make our products available on a much larger potential customer base. Another collaboration that I'd like to share today is with TPIS, a leading provider of health informatics solutions with decades of experience partnering with clinical trial and research stakeholders, particularly in support of an age project. NanoX AI and CTIS have joined forces to pursue two NIH grants aimed at analyzing gland cancer in young VAPS users, which is acknowledged to be a looming health problem in the U.S. Needless to say, it is encouraging that a growing group of AI platform providers recognize the value of our technology and are taking the time to integrate the NanoX AI solutions into their open architecture platform offerings. Furthermore, as previously announced, we have finalized the collaboration between Nanox AI and Ezra, a leading provider of full-body MRI screening services. Initially, the collaboration included Nanox AI population health solutions integrated to Ezra medical screening processes at 28 imaging center locations across the United States, which feature AI-powered full-body MRI and CT scans to screen adults for early detection, such as cancer, and other serious conditions at their earliest and often most treatable stages. The solution is now integrated into 50 5-0 sites with both the number of installations and the volume of scans steadily increasing. To continue our updates for Nanox AI, I'm pleased to report that the leading academic institution has launched a major collaboration with Nanox AI, selecting three of our advanced artificial intelligence applications to power a new population health clinical study targeting asymptomatic individuals aged 70 and above. These marks another milestone in our ongoing academic collaboration. We continue to partner with leading academic institutions that are leveraging our AI solution. I can also report that we signed an agreement to provide Nano-X AI solution to customers of Radiology Diagnostic Group, RDG, a network of specialized senior radiologists offering rapid expert imaging interpretation, valuable second opinions, and detailed explanation of imaging findings. In addition, we recently partnered with a reseller in India to market Nano-X AI solution, securing two pilot projects and positioned us to expand our footprint in the region. Moreover, we are strengthening our U.S. presence with the expansion of our service and sales infrastructure to support growing market demand. Turning to deployment and other activities outside of the U.S., we continue to advance along multiple fronts, such as the EU market, and where we feel that distributor models is an efficient way to make initial inroads into the various nations of the EU. We accelerated our effort in the EU after NanoXART was granted the CMART designation under EU MDR standards earlier this year. Our team recently met with our partner in Romania, MedisImaging, which is the leading medical equipment supplier in the country. It was a highly productive engagement, which included a training session for medic sales personnel, Next step is to launch the NanoCSR in the annual radiology congress in Romania with our new partner end of September. The system is ready for shipment for that purpose. This is an exciting step forward in making NanoCSR innovation imaging solutions more accessible across Europe and promising start bringing next generation medical imaging technology to Romania. We are currently working with our local partner in Greece to secure the required import permits and are engaged in advanced discussions with additional potential partners in the region. We will continue to focus on the large EU market and expect that our strong business momentum will continue in many other European countries in 2025 and beyond. In Latin America, we're also pursuing the import license to ship to demo units to the distributor in New Mexico, and I will provide an update when I have something material to share. The company notified the FDA of its intent to submit the TAP2D software module to the FDA through the 510K program. TAP2D submission purpose to receive clearance for 2D review image output for NanoX ART system a practical tool for a geologist to enhance their diagnostic confidence as they become more experienced evaluating BPS images. Step 2D, once cleared, will be part of a wider vision held by NANOX to alleviate adjunctive use limitations in the future. Moving on to the clinical work that helps support all of our efforts by generating data supporting the use of our solutions. As I mentioned in my introductory remarks, we have several successes to share today, including our collaboration with Kaiser University and our ongoing partnership with Duke University Center for Virtual Cloud. We have mentioned the Duke partnership on previous calls, and I'm now able to share that this collaboration has resulted in the publication of a new paper that has just being published. In collaboration with Dr. Eshan Samihim at the Center for Virtual Imaging Trials, CVIT at Duke, we have seen promising results of the potential values of nanosarge digital tomosynthesis, the DTS configuration in handling patient motion, as opposed to standard linear configuration DTS systems. Patient movement during image acquisition can adversely affect the quality of medical imaging, and the study shows the benefit that NanoX-R configuration has the potential to effectively manage this issue. The study addressed various types of patient motions and showed that the NanoX-R configuration is less susceptible to motion-induced artifacts. The data and conclusions of the study have now been published in Biomedical Physics and Engineering Express, making key opinion leaders aware of the value of the NanoXR for sound mounting a common imaging challenge. Earlier, I acknowledged the value of bringing medical imaging experts and key opinion leaders onto the NanoX team. And with that goal in mind, we have recently strengthened our medical advisory board with two new additions. Dr. Lawrence Tenenbaum is an active consultant in the medical imaging space. He is a long-term collaborator with the medical imaging industry and continues to chair advisory boards for imaging, OEMs, pharma, and AI concerns. He has interest in developing applications for AI and machine learning, concert agents, MR, CP, and advanced rendering. Dr. Tenenbaum serves as Vice President, Chief Technology Officer and Director of Advanced Imaging at RadNet from 2015 to 2024. Second, George Espada is a medical imaging executive with over 25 years of global leadership experience. He has held senior roles at Agfa and Philips, specializing in imaging technology and digital health transformation. He is an expert in bringing innovation to market and scaling customer-centric tech-driven healthcare solutions. We are excited to have these talented individuals join the NADAPS team as we seek to innovate and change the medical imaging landscape. Our key opinion leader strategy is evolving into a structured, segmented model that includes visionary leaders, clinical collaborators, and show sites. This approach enables us to amplify our clinical voice while supporting pre-sales activities and beta testing in targeted specialties such as orthopedic, and lung cancer screening. Together, these efforts form a cohesive clinical narrative that supports commercialization, enhanced credibility, and driven adoption, positioning NANOS as a category-defining innovator in digital regulation. We continue close collaboration with our OEM partners to secure the supply of components needed as our ARC deployment continues. Furthermore, We are seeking partnership with additional providers of unique imaging equipment to develop new and innovative uses of our 3D tomosynthesis technology. Additionally, in Q2, we met with multiple companies across a handful of application areas. We believe our technology provides unique and even disruptive technical benefits. These companies were approached based on an exhaustive review of their applications, market position, our perceived product fit, and, of course, the commercial opportunity potential. Having received several requests for additional data and or testing results, we are now reviewing, prioritizing, and formulating responses outlined proposed next steps. New applications and business development efforts take time, but this activity level demonstrates our continuous probing for new use cases and applications for differentiated imaging technology. I'd also like to follow up on my comments regarding Varix from our last call. We are sourcing glass tubes from Varix for our units as they are more economical than ceramic and advantageous for our application. At this time, I shared that Varix had delivered tubes for use in the newly developed NanoX Arc and that NanoX has technical staff at Varix facility for validation and training on multiple source demo units. The ARC team in Israel began system integration of Varix tubes into the ARC-X earlier this month, and we approached the time to start manufacturing the new ARC-X at scale to meet anticipated customer demand. Also, delivery of the first multi-source demonstrator from Varix is anticipated later this month. With regard to mass production, we have recently entered into a multi-year volume supply agreement with FabriNet, a leading global electronics manufacturing services provider, to support the scalable production of non-ex-advanced medical imaging. Under this agreement, FabriNet will provide contract manufacturing services, including assembly, testing, procurement, and quality control, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective product delivery aligned with non-excess specifications. The long-term agreement will help to ensure stable and high-quality manufacturing, as well as flexible production and forecasting to support our anticipated growth. In addition to manufacturing services, Fabrinet will support regulatory compliance, quality assurance, and continuous improvement processes to help us optimize the efficiency of the manufacturing process. We believe this collaboration will drive down our manufacturing costs over time and strengthen our global supply chain, which will in turn support our mission to expand access to innovative, affordable imaging technology worldwide.
Thank you, Eric. We reported a gap net loss for the second quarter of 2025 of $14.7 million, which is the reported period, compared with a net loss of $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, which is the comparable period. The increase in net loss was mainly due to the increase of $0.4 million in our gross loss and $1.0 million in our finance expense net. which was mitigated by a decrease of $0.4 million in our operating expenses. Revenue for the reported period was $3.0 million and gross loss was $3.2 million on a GAAP basis. Revenue for the comparable period was $2.7 million and gross loss was $2.9 million on a GAAP basis. Non-GAAP gross loss for the reported period was $0.6 million. as compared to a gross loss of $0.2 million in the comparable period, which represents a gross loss margin of approximately 21% on a non-GAP basis for the reported period as compared to a gross loss margin of 9% on a non-GAP basis in the comparable period. Revenue from the teleradiology services for the reported period was $2.7 million with a gross profit of $0.5 million on a GAAP basis as compared to revenue of $2.5 million with a gross profit of $0.4 million on a GAAP basis in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 18% on a GAAP basis for the reported period as compared to 15% on a GAAP basis in the comparable period. Non-GAAP gross profit of the company's several radiology services for the reported period was $1.0 million, as compared to $0.9 million in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 38% on a non-GAAP basis for the reported period, as compared to 37% on a non-GAAP basis in the comparable period. The increase in the company's revenue and gross profit margin from the teleradiology services was mainly attributable to customer retention, increased rates, and increased volume of the company's reading services during the weekdays, weekends, and night shifts. During the reported period, the company generated revenue through the sale and deployment of its imaging system and OEM services, which amounted to $221,000 for the reported period, with a gross of $1.7 million on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis, compared to revenue of $68,000 with a gross of $1.3 million on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis in the comparable period. The company's revenue from its AI solutions for the reported period was $0.1 million, with a gross loss of $2.0 million on a gap basis, compared to revenue of $0.1 million, with a gross loss of $2.0 million in the comparable period. Non-gap gross loss of the company's AI solutions for the reported period was $19,000, compared to a gross profit of $57,000 in the comparable period. Research and development expenses net for the reported and comparable periods were $4.8 million, reflecting no change between the periods. Nevertheless, there was a decrease of $0.4 million in share-based compensation and $0.3 million in expense related to our development activities, which were mitigated by an increase of $0.3 million in salaries and wages and a decrease of $0.4 million in grants received. Sales and marketing expenses for the reported period were $1.2 million compared to $0.8 million in the comparable period, which represents an increase of $0.4 million, mainly due to increase of $0.3 million in salaries and wages and $0.1 million in marketing activities with connection to the commercialization in the U.S. market. General and administrative expenses for the reported period were $5.1 million compared to $5.9 million in the comparable period. A decrease of $0.8 million was mainly due to a decrease of $0.5 million in share-based compensation. a decrease of $0.5 million in the company's legal expenses, and a decrease of $0.2 million in DNO insurance expenses, which was mitigated by an increase of $0.2 million in salaries and wages. Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares for the reported period was $10.9 million, compared to $8.4 billion in the comparable period. The increase of $2.5 million was mainly due to an increase of $0.4 million in non-GAAP growth loss, increase of $1.0 million in the non-GAAP operating expenses, and increase of $1.0 million in non-GAAP financial expenses. Turning to our balance sheet, as of June 30th, 2025, we had cash equivalents, restricted deposits, and marketable securities of approximately 62.6 million dollars and adds 3.3 million dollars in short-term loans from a bank. We ended the quarter with a property and equipment net of 46.1 million dollars. As of June 30th, 2025 and December 31st, 2024 with approximately 63.9 and 63.8 million shares outstanding respectively. With that, I will hand the call back over to Erez.
Thank you all for joining us today, quarterly call. We appreciate the ongoing support from our investors, which is vital in helping us achieve our vision of making medical imaging more accessible worldwide and improving patient outcomes. NanoX has made progress advancing our NanoX AI business on multiple fronts and the deployment of the NanoX Arc system in the second quarter, and we are on pace to meet our targets of 100 units in the deployment by year's end, with revenues expected in the second half of 2025. We are seeing a growing and increasingly robust manufacturing pipeline, and we are proud to mark a breakthrough in the European market with a first system ready for shipment and working on enlarging our network. By expanding our system's output with a 2D view image, we reaffirm our commitment to continuous product enhancement in line with the evolving market needs. Alongside our commercial efforts, we are executing a robust clinical program designed to product-based supporting the use case of NanoCR technology. We continue to partner with leading academic institutions that are leveraging our AI solution and engaging key opinion leaders who can partner with NANOPs to drive behavior change in the medical imaging sector. I'm proud of our team's diligent execution of our multi-faceted growth strategy. If you would like an update call with the team, please contact our investor relations partners at ICR Healthcare. Thanks again for your time and attention today, and we look forward to our next update.
Thank you.
And as a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star 101 on your telephone and wait for a name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star 101 again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. One moment for our first question. Our first question will come from the line of Ross Osborne from Cantor Fitzgerald. Your line is open.
Hi. Good morning, and thanks for taking our questions. So starting off, how many systems were operating during the quarter that resulted in $221,000 in imaging-related revenue?
Can you repeat the question?
Yes. How many systems were operating during the quarter meeting scans were being performed that resulted in your reported $221,000 in imaging-related revenue?
Out of the 100 that we are currently targeting for the end of the year and the more than 60 that we published last time,
Yes. So I guess out of those 60 or however many are in the field, how many systems were operating, meaning that patients were being scanned?
Okay. So right now more than 20 are operating and scanning patients. And all the numbers that we gave last time have increased. So the number of operating system the number of the systems which are being in the process to install, the number of leads have grown exponentially that we are currently dealing with, namely the deal flow. Right now, as previously indicated, we can say that the 100 that we are talking about are identified. We know each one of them, almost each one of them, when it's going to be installed and when it's going to be shipped and start to operate.
Okay, that's great to hear. And then looking at those 100 leads, are you expecting any of those to be capital sales, or should we assume they will all be placed via the MSAS model?
I would say that a part of them will be CapEx.
Great. And then lastly, how many states in the United States are you now approved in for users to operate a system?
Right now, eight. Thank you. Thank you.
One moment for our next question. Our next question will come from the line of Scott Henry from AGP. Your line is open.
Thank you, and good morning or afternoon, depending on your location. I guess first to follow up on the placements of units, could you talk about the current revenue model? Is it mostly subscriptions versus CapEx in licensing? Just trying to get an idea of how that model has evolved as the launch has continued. Thank you.
Okay. Will, you want to go? Go ahead.
Yeah, Ron. So, as we have discussed in the past, our leading model is the EMSOS model, but as we said also in the past, we do want to do some CAPEX cells. Just to remind you, we said in the past that all the cells in the European countries will be in a CAPEX cell model through our distributors. And in the U.S., we expect to be a mixture of CapExcel and the EMSOS model. Some other territories will be probably EMSOS or CapExcel depends on the traits of the geographic.
Okay, great. Thank you for that color. On just looking at the quarterly revenues, the AI solutions line, it moves around a lot and the numbers are pretty small, but that would be the 96,000 reported in 2Q. Could you give us a sense of where that number should go going forward? Should we start to see more trends evolve as opposed to a lot of volatility in it currently?
The answer is yes. From the AI point of view, we have indicated already that 2026 will be break even in terms of revenues and expenses of the AI. We see a continuous growth in almost each one of the places that they are located, the system. Bear in mind that with respect to the AI, we have a lot of impact coming from the revenue recognition policy. So although, for example, we do install the systems, we get annual payments right now, so from a cash flow point of view, we are by far more than the number that you see in the quarter. And the other thing that should be noticed is the fact that, for example, Ezra Medical, the one that was mentioned last time and this time as well, is growing exponentially in terms of the numbers and uh this is uh this is going to be part of the uh really growing um activities that that we see the b2b to see and um and we have a similar um agreement that we announced today that was signed that is going to be from our point of view even double than the revenues which will be generated from ezra medical with respect to the oem is basically uh it's uh when um when it comes We register only when we ship the numbers. So I think that the 2026 will probably be more of an indication of the numbers that will show the growth that we're talking about in the agreements that we sign.
Okay, great. Thank you. And then just quickly on operating expenses, any... Trends we should expect, I mean, it's been pretty consistent around that kind of 11 to 12 million a quarter range. Should we expect that to continue going forward? And, you know, I guess it's probably the 2026 timeframe as well. When would you expect to start seeing the quarterly losses start to decline? I know it's an expensive business model, but at some point you reach that inflection where the revenues start to outweigh the costs. Just trying to get an idea of when that is. Sorry, there's two questions in there.
Yes, so with regards to the OPEX itself, you see that it's correct that it's maintaining the same level in the past few quarters. And that comes from more efficiencies and more measurements that we do to maintain the level of the expenses and to keep our to the minimum. On the other hand, you see an increase of our sales and marketing expenses as a result of the deployment in the U.S. market and the increase in our sales and marketing activities. All in all, it's a tradeoff. Once we increase in one place, we do decrease in one place, and we're trying to maintain the same level of expenses. And as we have said before and in the past, once you see, especially in the second half of this year and going forward, when you're going to see the revenue alleviating, then you should see a decrease in the operating loss and the burn and et cetera.
Okay, great. Thank you for taking the questions. Thank you.
Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Jeffrey Cohen from Latinburg. Your line is open.
Well, hello, Eris and Ray, and thanks for taking our questions. Firstly, could you talk about studies and submittals and publications and presentations in the back half of the year, specifically around RSNA and your activities headed into RSNA?
So, towards the RSNA, we have, we're going to submit, not we have submitted already. Actually, we will present it, the full Nano-X ANTO-N solution and the high-profile industry event in the first time that we're going to be there. We are going to present the ArcX, including we are going to show the first installation or the first AI interpretation on the, as part of the ArcX system. And we are planning to, we have submitted one clinical paper that is going to be on the MSK. I mentioned it to you earlier in the, and when we are talking with, I was talking about a few minutes ago in the earnings prepared remarks. And we are going to present at the AI Theater. We're going to have a presentation made by our chief medical officer. And we are going to include our key opinion leaders that will talk in various stages during the show, especially Dr. Tenenbaum and the
Yep.
Yep. Okay. Sorry. I was just lost here for a second. Thank you for that. So, and as a follow-up, Eris, can you talk about geography specifically as far as both ARC placements as well as the AI solutions into the balance of this year and throughout perhaps 26 and 27 as far as countries and regions of geographical presence and where you expect some nice uptake?
Okay. So first of all, we have indicated today in my remarks that the focus will be in the US, both for the AI and for the ARC as well. And this will be a major part of our efforts, including the number of people that are going to be dedicated to the sales and marketing efforts. In addition, we are planning to focus on the EU countries. Right now we have in our list approximately eight countries. A few of them already signed and a few of them are in the process of being signed there shortly. We are very proud about the fact that less than half a year from the CE Marks. The first system is going to be sent to Europe and installed in Romania at our distributor. Next probably in the line will be Greece. We are talking about a few, like three or four countries in Europe. And this will be the second part. In addition, we are going to spend or dedicate efforts including salespeople and the channel managers, people that will focus on Mexico. Mexico is the country that we have already an agreement for quite some time, but the permit, the import license, and the local certification takes time. The system is raised. We are talking about a few systems that will be sent to Mexico. They are ready to be shipped. We are waiting for the... for the permit in the very near future. We are negotiating right now for another few countries in Latin America that will be part of it. The one thing that I'm saying is that right now, the Far East is not going to be the first priority, although we have already a distributor that is working on the license in Korea. but the rest will wait. We are not going to focus or spend a lot of time on Africa right now until we get more clarity on the economy situation of the countries that we are working with. But in terms of the AI that you asked, right now, US is the primary market. Europe is second. and Latin America is third. Although we have also, we mentioned that we have already two pilots in India. We have one system already installed in Thailand, and this is in addition to what we say. In terms of the OEM, basically we are working on an international basis. We have one customer in Europe, one big customers and one big customers in the U.S., also in Israel that we have. One other market that, you know, I didn't mention, but it's part of the efforts is Israel. We have all the systems in Israel are installed in hospitals. And right now we are planning to install a few of the AI systems similar to the one that we have at Ezra Medical in israel as well sorry for the long answer but the detailed one no very much appreciated thanks for taking our questions thank you the one thing that uh i would say uh jeff is basically uh from from the uh for the uh from the call what you can see that we are really playing across the whole court uh with with the business development in the uh in the workers' comp, in the mobile units that we're talking about the future. And from our point of view, there are no shortcuts. We go step by step, one after the other. We are really changing the standard of care. And therefore, it's very organized. It's widespread in terms of the areas that we're focused on. And we see the results of the way that we operate This step-by-step and no shortcuts, we see the results that are coming time after the other, quarter after quarter. We see the results, especially the efforts that we're making on the clinical side that I was talking about. I elaborated today quite a bit because when you want to change the standard of care, you have to dedicate a lot of time to brand awareness, to clinical education, to referring physicians, to explain everything which relates to what's the value, what's the clinical value that you bring to the market and to the customers, and we see the results of it.
Thank you. And with that, this concludes the question and answer session. Thank you for your participation in today's conference. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect. Everyone have a great day.
