The Company booked a total of 17 EksoNR units in the second quarter of 2022.

Gross profit increased 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely owing to the increase in EksoHealth revenue. Gross margin was approximately 47% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a gross margin of 58% for the same period in 2021. The overall decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in EksoHealth service and inventory costs, partially offset by positive sales mix.

Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were $1.8 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 3%, compared to the same period of 2021. The increase was primarily the result of higher general sales and marketing activities compared with the same period in the prior year.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were $0.9 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 30%, compared to the same period of 2021. The increase was primarily due to sustaining engineering activity for the EksoNR and the development of next generation products.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were $2.1 million, about the same compared to the same period of 2021.

Gain on revaluation of warrant liabilities was $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and was associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Gross margin was approximately 47% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a gross margin of 61% for the same period in 2021. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in EksoHealth inventory and service costs, partially offset by the recognition of previously deferred prepaid royalties associated with a license and distribution agreement that expired.

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $3.5 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 3%, compared to the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to reduced compensation expense.
