Business overview

 

We are a plant-based wellness & pharma solutions company. Our business activity is primarily composed of developing wellness and pharma solutions, focused on science backed plant-based products to improve quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing side effects caused by using medicines, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle.

 

The global health and wellness market is expected to reach USD 7.6 trillion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 20301 with growing awareness of health and wellness solutions for improving people’s quality of life2. We are witnessing a global movement of health and wellbeing becoming a priority for the public, further emphasized by the recent global COVID-19 pandemic. There is increasing recognition that people need to take charge of their own health, improve their quality of life, use natural products, and balance side effects caused by medicines and treatment3.

 

We believe the power of plant-based solutions from nature can help improve people’s health and quality of life.

 

We seek to bring to the market wellness and pharma innovative products, such as food supplements, healthy snacks, healthy beverages and natural cosmetics, to help improve people’s health and quality of life and complementary products that aim to balance selected side effects associated with medicines, treatments or an unbalanced lifestyle. Research shows that complementary products can balance side effects associated with medicinal use or treatments. For example, probiotics, natural food supplements are recommended as a complementary product to balance side effects associated with the use of antbiotics 4.

 

Leveraging technology and research, we are focused on developing products portfolio based on rigorous scientific research ranging from synergistic botanicals, herbal extract tinctures, medicinal mushrooms together with plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, botanical formulations from seeds, roots, bark, fruits and a wide variety of plants that contain substances with health-supportive effects. Such supportive effects include, but aren’t limited to, enhancing oral care, anti-inflammatory properties, relaxation, sleep enhancement, energizing, mood and body balancing, and alleviating side effects.

 

Our strategy is to bring to market, on a global scale, innovative plant-based wellness and pharma solutions, covering the whole spectrum from innovation, research and development, product development, infrastructure for production and manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales.

 

Our headquarters and top executives are based in Israel, where we operate via our 100%-owned-subsidiary “CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd.” and 60%-owned “Cannovation Center Israel Ltd.”

 

Our mission is to leverage the power of plant-based solutions from nature to help
improve people’s health and quality of life

 

We created multi-strategy solutions to realize our mission, the highlights of which include the following:

 

Developing & Bringing Plant-Based Wellness & Pharma Products to Market

 

We are developing plant-based solutions which include products for improving quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing selected side effects caused by using medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle. In December 2021 we finalized the development of dozens of proprietary formulations in multiple form factors under the brand name of Green Side by Side™ for the wellness industry.

The Green Side by Side™ product line includes herbals, medicinal mushrooms, vitamins, minerals, and a variety of researched plants known for their healing qualities that contain substances with different anti-inflammatory properties and a variety of health-supportive effects that are relaxing, sleep enhancing, energizing, mood and body balancing, enhancing oral care alleviating side effects, and more.

 

Green Side by Side products are manufactured in Israel in a GMP-certified manufacturing facility approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health.

 

In Q1 2022 we launched in the Israeli market several products from the Green Side by Side product line. We started our initial launch with a local partner, an Israeli medical cannabis company, focusing on the SmokLy series, a line of sprays for the oral cavity to support people with oral cavity dryness (xerostomia), a common side effect experienced by many cannabis users. The local partner distributes the products to medical cannabis pharmacies as complementary products to medical cannabis users. Following an initial trial period, we plan to expand our distribution efforts in the Israeli market for the Green Side by Side product line with retail, pharmacy chains and natural products’ distributors in Israel. We also plan to distribute the Green Side by Side product line in the United States and worldwide with local partners consistent with local regulations.

 

We believe Green Side by Side is positioned to capture market share in the nutritional supplements market that is expected to reach $625 billion by 20305.

 

IP and Research & Development Strategy

 

Our IP strategy and R&D roadmap include building our patent portfolio, conducting clinical studies, advancing products through regulatory approvals.

 

Leveraging technology and research, we continue to innovate, developing solutions that combine botanical formulations, herbal extracts, tinctures, sprays, and other natural delivery methods with a variety of researched plants known for their healing qualities.

 

We seek to bring to the wellness and pharma market innovative products to improve quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing selected side effects caused by medicines, treatments, cannabis, aging, stress, or an unbalanced lifestyle. Our mission includes developing plant-based medicines for the botanical and plant-derived drug market that is expected to reach $53 billion by 20266.

 

Treating Side Effects Caused by Medicines, Treatments, or an Unbalanced Lifestyle

 

A broad range of medicines and treatments have common side effects such as dryness in the oral cavity (xerostomia), headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, lack of concentration, and impaired appetite.

 

We are researching and developing complementary solutions to address the need to balance selected effects through wellness solutions, as well as clinically planning to develop plant-based pharmaceutical solutions.

 

The public health impact of potential harm associated with medicines and treatments is a growing area of investigation, given the expanding pharma industry and widespread availability of drugs and different medical treatments around the world. For example, exploring the relationship between drug side-effects and therapeutic indications demonstrates that 69% of drugs have between 10 and 100 different side effects7.

 

We filed a provisional patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office to address the side effects of cannabis use titled “Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods for the Treatment of Side-Effects Associated with the Use of Cannabis, Cannabinoids and Related Products” patent No: 63/257,673. Research shows that nearly 70% of cannabis users experience constant dry mouth and 20% percent of the elderly suffer from xerostomia as a side effect of their medications8.

 

We developed the SmokLy TM series which is intended to balance the dry mouth side effect (xerostomia) that may result from using medicines, cannabis, smoking or treatments. The SmokLy contains plant extracts distilled from seeds, roots, bark, fruits with active anti-inflammatory substances that encourage saliva production and taste in the oral cavity. We are developing a broad array of plant-based wellness and pharma complementary solutions to address selected side effects caused by medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle.

Green Vision Center Production & Innovation Center for Plant-Based Wellness & Pharma Products

 

The Green Vision Center is part of our strategy to create plant-based solutions covering all the infrastructure, facilities, and activities required for developing, manufacturing, and bringing to market innovative plant-based wellness and pharma products.

 

As demand for plant-based products in industries ranging from wellness, to pharma, to cosmetics, to food continues to increase, Green Vision Center will provide all facilities needed for bringing to market plant-based wellness and pharma products.

 

In February of 2022, we completed the acquisition of 125,000 sq ft (11,687 sq meters or approximately three acres), of industrial land in Yerucham, a city in southern Israel, to build Green Vision Center Israel with the Israeli government support. Approximately 90% of the acquisition cost was provided by Israeli government programs that encourage industrial development and includes additional grants and tax incentives. Green Vision Center israel will include approximately 65,000 sq. ft. (approximately 5,800 sqm) a first-of-its-kind center that combines:

 

  Manufacturing facilities for botanicals and nutritional supplements
  Manufacturing facilities for pharma plant-based products & botanical drugs
  Manufacturing facilities for healthy snacks & beverages
  Manufacturing facilities for plant-based cosmetics
  Manufacturing facilities for medical cannabis and related products
  R&D laboratories for development, clinical studies, and quality control testing
  Distribution and global logistics center
  Management and consultant offices
  Conference, training & visitor center

 

Green Vision Center Israel was designed by Avner Sher, one of Israel’s most highly regarded architects. Its design includes a unique roof in the shape of a lotus flower and will be built with solar panels and according to ecological green principles of saving energy.The center will be constructed by a professional project construction company that will oversee the aspects of the building including interfacing with sub-contractors and obtaining the requisite building permits and other required authorizations.

 

Our mission is to become a leading worldwide production and innovation center and bring together partners, market leaders, companies, technologies, and scientific collaborations from Israel and around the world.

 

A core part of our strategy includes building a worldwide network with local teams, partners, subsidiaries, Green Vision Centers, strategic partnerships, collaborations, and mergers & acquisitions of technology and distribution companies. Initially, we are planning to build infrastructure for business development and sales with local teams in North America and Europe.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the following risks, as well as general economic and business risks, and all of the other information contained in this registration statement. Any of the following risks could harm our business, operating results and financial condition and cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, which would cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks to Financial position

 

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

 

We have a limited operating history. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. As of March 31, 2022, we have not generated revenues and there can be no assurance that we will ever be profitable. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

 

We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the implementation of our business plan. If we fail to generate revenue and eventually become profitable, or if we are unable to fund our continuing losses, our shareholders could lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

 

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to finance our cash requirements, which we may never achieve, we expect to finance our cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or through the establishment of possible strategic alliances. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to secure additional equity funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical studies, development programs or future commercialization initiatives.

 

In addition, any additional equity funding that we do obtain will dilute the ownership held by our existing security holders.. Any debt financing that we obtain in the future could involve substantial restrictions on activities and creditors could seek a pledge of some or all of our assets. We have not identified potential sources for such financing that we will require, and we do not have commitments from any third parties to provide any future debt financing. If we fail to obtain funding as needed, we may be forced to cease or scale back operations, and our results, financial condition and stock price would be adversely affected.

 

We may never achieve profitability.

 

We are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of future revenue or expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. We have financed our operations primarily through issuance and sale of equity and equity linked securities. The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of growth or contraction of our expenses and the level and rate of growth, if any, of our revenues. We expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things:

 

sales and marketing, including expanding our indirect sales organization and marketing programs;
   
planning and conducting clinical trials to obtain regulatory approval/clearance for the commercialization of our products;
   
expansion of our operations and infrastructure, both domestically and internationally; and
   
general administration, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company.

 

If we are unable to successfully commercialize our products or if revenue from any of our products that receives marketing approval is insufficient, we will not achieve profitability. Furthermore, even if we successfully commercialize our products, our planned investments may not result in increased revenue or growth of our business. We may not be able to generate net revenues sufficient to offset our expected cost increases and planned investments in our business. As a result, we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and may not be able to achieve and sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve and sustain profitability, then we may not be able to achieve our business plan, fund our business or continue as a going concern.

 

Currency exchange rate fluctuations affect our results of operations, as reported in our financial statements.

 

We incur expenses in U.S. Dollars and in NIS but our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. However, a significant portion of our headcount related expenses, consisting principally of salaries and related personnel expenses as well as R&D consulting services, leases and certain other operating expenses, are denominated in NIS. This foreign currency exposure gives rise to market risk associated with exchange rate movements of the U.S. dollar against the NIS. Furthermore, we anticipate that a material portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in NIS.

 

In addition, increased international sales in the future may result in greater foreign currency denominated sales, increasing our foreign currency risk. If we are not able to successfully hedge against the risks associated with currency fluctuations, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry and Regulatory Process

 

Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our business.

 

Our business strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may put a strain on our administrative and operational resources and funding requirements. Our ability to effectively manage growth will require us to continue to expand the capabilities of our operational and management systems and to attract, train, manage, and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, particularly if losses continue and we are unable to obtain sufficient financing. If we are unable to successfully manage growth, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our plans are dependent upon key individuals and the ability to attract qualified personnel.

 

In order to execute our business plan, we will be dependent on Ora Meir Soffer, our Chief Executive Officer and Director. The loss of Ms. Meir Soffer could have a material adverse effect upon our business prospects. Moreover, our success continues to depend to a significant extent on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train and retain qualified professional, creative, technical and managerial personnel.

 

Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, attracting, hiring, training, and retaining such personnel in the future. If we are unable to hire, assimilate and retain qualified personnel in the future, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely effected. We may also depend on third party contractors and other partners to assist with the execution of our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in either attracting and retaining qualified personnel, or creating arrangements with such third parties. The failure to succeed in these endeavors would have a material adverse effect on our ability to consummate our business plans.

 

Failure in the Company’s information technology systems, including by cybersecurity attacks or other data security incidents, could significantly disrupt its operations.

 

Our operations depend, in part, on the continued performance of our information technology systems. Our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptions. Failure of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business, profitability, and financial condition. Although we have information technology security systems, a successful cybersecurity attack or other data security incident could result in the misappropriation and/or loss of confidential or personal information, create system interruptions, or deploy malicious software that attacks our systems. It is possible that we not notice a cybersecurity attack for some period. The occurrence of a cybersecurity attack or incident could result in business interruptions from the disruption of the Company’s information technology systems, or negative publicity resulting in reputational damage with its shareholders and other stakeholders and/or increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events. In addition, the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information could expose the Company or other third parties to regulatory fines or penalties, litigation, and potential liability, or otherwise harm its business.

 

We may grow through mergers or acquisitions, which strategy may not be successful or, if successful, may produce risks in successfully integrating and managing the merged companies or acquisition and may dilute our stockholders.

 

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue mergers and acquisitions of entities and/or assets that we believe will have synergistic and/or other value to us. We currently have no agreements or understandings to merge with or acquire any entity and/or assets, and may not find suitable merger or acquisition opportunities. Mergers and acquisitions involve numerous risks, any of which could harm our business, including, without limitation:

 

● difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, existing contracts, accounting processes and personnel of the target and realizing the anticipated synergies of the combined businesses;

 

● difficulties in supporting and transitioning customers of the target company;

 

● diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

 

● the price we pay or other resources that we devote may exceed the value we realize, or the value we could have realized if we had allocated the purchase price or other resources to another opportunity;

 

10
 

 

● entering new markets or areas in which we have limited or no experience;

 

● potential loss of key associates and customers from either our business or the target’s business;

 

● assumption of unanticipated problems or latent liabilities of the target; and

 

● the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs.

 

Mergers and acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subject to potential impairments in the future and that could harm our financial results. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted, which could affect the market price of our common shares. As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate mergers, acquisitions or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such merger or acquisition, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. The failure to successfully evaluate and execute mergers, acquisitions or investments or otherwise adequately address these risks could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be subject to product liability claims which may have a material adverse effect on our business

Through our subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel, we developed the ‘Green Side by Side’ product line containing natural and herbal formulas based on researched and science-based plants, herbal extracts, mushrooms and other natural ingredients. The Green Side By side product lines are manufactured in Israel in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd, iBOT being a related party with which we have manufacturing and strategic cooperation agreements, under a GMP-certified manufacturing facility approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health. In the future we plan to develop additional products which may be subject to different regulations for manufacturing, depending on country and product. As these products are designed to be ingested by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture and sale of cannabis products involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of cannabis products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the products produced by us caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products.

 

Product recalls may harm our reputation.

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of our products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. We may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although we have detailed procedures in place for testing finished products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of the products produced by the Company were subject to recall, the image of that product and the Company could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for products produced by the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the operations of the Company by any applicable regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

 

Our officers and directors may be subject to conflict of interest.

 

The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.

11
 

 

In addition, the Company may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of certain directors and the officers who may from time to time deal with persons, firms, institutions or companies with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by it. The interests of these persons could conflict with those of the Company. In addition, from time to time, these persons may be competing with the Company for available investment opportunities. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, in the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

 

We face significant competition in the market.

 

We face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than the Company. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company

 

We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage and in the case of liability the lack of adequate insurance may have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We have insurance to protect our assets, operations and employees. While we believe our insurance coverage addresses all material risks to which may be exposed and is adequate and customary in our current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which the Company is exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover the Company’s liabilities or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Company were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if the Company were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Research and development and product obsolescence may impair our ability to compete in our target market.

 

Rapidly changing markets, technology, emerging industry standards and frequent introduction of new products characterize our business. The introduction of new products embodying new technologies, including new manufacturing processes, and the emergence of new industry standards may render our planned product offerings obsolete, less competitive or less marketable. The process of developing our planned products is complex and requires significant continuing costs, development efforts and third party commitments The Company’s failure to develop new technologies and products and the obsolescence of existing technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The Company’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to enhance its existing technologies, develop new technology that addresses the increasing sophistication and varied needs of the market, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of the Company’s proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. The Company may not be successful in using its new technologies or exploiting its niche markets effectively or adapting its businesses to evolving customer or medical requirements or preferences or emerging industry standards.

 

It may be difficult to enforce a judgment of a U.S. court against us and our executive officers and directors and the Israeli experts named in this prospectus in Israel or the United States, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on our executive officers and directors and these experts.

 

While we were incorporated in Delaware, substantially all of our executive officers and directors reside outside of the United States, and all of our assets and most of the assets of these persons are located outside of the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained against us, or any of these persons, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not be enforced by an Israeli court. It also may be difficult for you to effect service of process on these persons in the United States or to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to initiate an action with respect to U.S. securities laws in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact by expert witnesses, which can be a time consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel that addresses the matters described above. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing a judgment against us in Israel, you may not be able to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.

 

The continuing prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our operations and our capital raising efforts.

 

In late 2019, a novel strain of Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China, it has now spread globally. Many countries around the world, have significant governmental measures implemented to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, limited access to nursey homes, hospitals and other medical institutes and other material limitations on the conduct of business. These measures have resulted in work stoppages and other disruptions. Our research and development activities, sales and marketing efforts, as well as our ability to perform clinical trials (if needed) depend, in part, on attendance at in-person meetings, industry conferences and other events, facility visiting, and as a result some of our sales and marketing activities have been halted.

 

12
 

 

The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, and our ability to perform clinical trials, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

We intend to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials (if needed). If these third parties do not meet our deadlines or otherwise conduct the trials as required, our clinical trials programs could be delayed or unsuccessful and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates when expected or at all.

 

We may conduct clinical trials on our products. We do not have the ability to conduct all aspects of our clinical trials ourselves. We may rely upon medical institutions, clinical investigators and contract research organizations, or CROs, and consultants to conduct these trials in accordance with our clinical protocols. Our future CROs, investigators and other third parties play a significant role in the conduct of these trials and the subsequent collection and analysis of data from the clinical trials.

 

There is no guarantee that any CROs, investigators and other third parties upon which we rely for administration and conduct of clinical trials will devote adequate time and resources to such trials or perform as contractually required. If any of these third parties fail to meet expected deadlines, fail to adhere to our clinical protocols or otherwise perform in a substandard manner, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated. If any of these clinical trial sites terminate for any reason, we may experience the loss of follow-up information on patients enrolled in our ongoing clinical trials unless we are able to transfer the care of those patients to another qualified clinical trial site. In addition, principal investigators for any clinical trials we conduct may serve as scientific advisors or consultants to us from time to time and receive cash or equity compensation in connection with such services. If these relationships and any related compensation result in perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the integrity of the data generated at the applicable clinical trial site may be jeopardized.

 

We will be subject to regulation of plant-based nutritional supplements, botanicals, cannabis, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

 

Our products, solutions and Green Vision Center activities are subject to rules and regulations pertaining to plant-based nutritional supplements, botanicals, cannabis, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, as applicable. The company cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by governmental authorities. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, regulatory approvals would significantly delay the development of markets and products and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

 

Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law.

 

As of June 2022, cannabis is legal for recreational use in 18 states and legal for medical use in 37 states. On a federal level, all cannabis remains illegal. The federal government classifies cannabis, along with heroin and cocaine, as a Schedule I drug with a high potential for abuse and little to no medical benefit. Despite the development of a regulated cannabis industry under the laws of certain states, these state laws regulating medical and adult cannabis use are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance and makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes, and thus Federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that regulate its use. During President Biden’s first year in office, Attorney General Merrick Garland rescinded two key memos that were part of the Trump Administration’s stated regulatory reform agenda: the Sessions Memo, which prohibited Department of Justice (DOJ) components from issuing “guidance documents” that effectively bound the public without undergoing notice-and-comment rulemaking, and the Brand Memo, which prohibited the DOJ from using noncompliance with DOJ’s or other agencies’ nonbinding guidance documents as a basis for affirmative civil enforcement actions. Calling the procedures laid out in the Sessions and Brand memos “overly restrictive,” Attorney General Garland replaced these memos with the Garland memo, which largely makes it easier for the DOJ to issue guidance and to rely on its own or other agencies’ guidance documents in enforcement actions. The Sessions Memo rescinded the Cole Memo which was adopted by the Obama administration as a policy of noninterference with cannabis-friendly state laws. The Sessions Memo shifted federal policy from a hands-off approach adopted by the Obama administration to permitting federal prosecutors across the country to decide how to prioritize resources to regulate cannabis possession, distribution and cultivation in states where cannabis use is regulated. With these changes in policy with every administration, there can be no assurance that federal prosecutors will not prosecute and dedicate resources to regulate cannabis possession, distribution and cultivation in states where cannabis use is regulated which may cause states to reconsider their regulation of cannabis which would have a detrimental effect on the cannabis industry.

 

13
 

 

Results of preclinical studies and earlier clinical trials are unpredictive.

 

We may suffer significant setbacks in our preclinical and clinical trials, and we cannot be certain nor predict such setbacks. This may result from the fact that preclinical and clinical data may be susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, some products may perform well preclinical studies and clinical trials but fail regulatory approval. This may lead to prolonged development time and adverse effect on commercialization.

 

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property

 

If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product offerings, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection we obtain is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products may be impaired.

 

Our ability to compete successfully will depend in part on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our products, preserve our trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents on our products and other technologies in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, and the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, or license all necessary or desirable patents or patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner, or in all jurisdictions, or at all, or may choose not to do any of the foregoing.

 

In October 2021 we filed a provisional patent application on certain aspects of our Green product line and this provisional patent application, or any future provisional patent application on certain aspects of our products, is not eligible to become an issued patent until, among other things, we file a non-provisional patent application within 12 months of the filing date of the applicable provisional patent application. In cases where we have not obtained, or decided not to obtain, patent protection for certain of our inventions, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions or from selling or importing tests made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions.

 

Moreover, while we have applied for a patent that protect aspects of our products in the United States, we cannot assure you that our intellectual property position, will not be challenged or that all patents for which we have applied will be issued on a timely basis or at all, or that such patents will protect our technology, in whole or in part, or be issued in a form that will provide us with meaningful protection, prevent competitors from competing with us, or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. Although patents are presumed valid and enforceable upon issuance, a patent may be challenged as to its inventorship, scope, validity, or enforceability.

 

Patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the invention claimed in our pending patent application, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability, and commercial value of our patent rights are uncertain. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing, and regulatory review of new products, patents protecting such products might expire before or shortly after such products are commercialized. As a result, any patent portfolio we develop may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

 

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

There is often litigation between competing companies relying on their respective technologies based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Our future success depends, in part, on not infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology. Any such claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering some portion of our products, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or channel partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses or modify our products, which could further exhaust our resources. Patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against us, whether successful or not, could harm our brand, business, results of operations and financial condition. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and any judgment or injunctive relief entered against us or any adverse settlement could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, litigation can involve significant management time and attention and be expensive, regardless of the outcome. During the course of litigation, there may be announcements of the results of hearings and motions and other interim developments related to the litigation. If securities analysts or investors regard these announcements as negative, the trading price of our common stock may decline.

 

14
 

 

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

 

If we attempt enforcement of our patents or other intellectual property rights, we may be subject or party to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation. These claims and any resulting lawsuits, if resolved adversely to us, could subject us to significant liability for damages, impose temporary or permanent injunctions against our solutions or business operations, or invalidate or render unenforceable our intellectual property

 

Intellectual property disputes and litigation, regardless of merit, can be costly and disruptive to our business operations by diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel, and by increasing our costs of doing business. Such litigation, regardless of its success, could seriously harm our reputation with our channel partners, business partners and patients and in the industry at large. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent or intellectual property litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our operating results.

 

Risks Relating to Our Israel Operations

 

Our development efforts are headquartered in Israel and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by economic restrictions imposed on, and political and military instability in, Israel.

 

Our development headquarters, which houses substantially all of our research and development team, including engineers, machinists, researchers, and clinical and regulatory personnel as well as the facility of our contract manufacturer and final assembly are located in Israel. Our employees, service providers, directors and officers are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel and the surrounding region may directly affect our business. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade within Israel or between Israel and its trading partners could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Although we plan to maintain inventory in the United States and Germany, an extended interruption could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Recent political uprisings, social unrest and violence in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa, including Israel’s neighbors Egypt and Syria, are affecting the political stability of those countries. This instability may lead to deterioration of the political relationships that exist between Israel and these countries and has raised concerns regarding security in the region and the potential for armed conflict. Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, Iran has threatened to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among parties hostile to Israel in areas that neighbor Israel, such as the Syrian government, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Any armed conflicts, terrorist activities or political instability in the region could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our operations and the operations of our contract manufacturer may be disrupted as a result of the obligation of Israeli citizens to perform military service.

 

Many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform one month, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve duty until they reach the age of 45 (or older, for reservists with certain occupations) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to terrorist activity, there have been periods of significant call-ups of military reservists. It is possible that there will be additional military reserve duty call-ups in the future. Some of our employees, consultants and employees of the manufacturer of our products, are required to perform annual military reserve duty in Israel and may be called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Our operations and the operations of our manufacturer could be disrupted by such call-ups.

 

Our sales may be adversely affected by boycotts of Israel.

 

Several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. In addition, there have been increased efforts by activists to cause companies and consumers to boycott Israeli goods based on Israeli government policies. Such actions, particularly if they become more widespread, may adversely impact our ability to sell our products.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Securities

 

The planned reverse stock split may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of our common stock.

 

The effect of our planned reverse stock split on the market price for our common stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the prices for shares of the common stock after the reverse stock split will increase proportionately to prices for shares of our common stock immediately before the reverse stock split. The market price of our common stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the reverse stock split or the number of shares outstanding.

 

15
 

 

Furthermore, even if the market price of our common stock does rise following the reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock immediately after the proposed reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view the reverse stock split negatively, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after the reverse stock split may be lower than the market capitalization before the reverse stock split.

 

A certain group of the Company’s stockholders may exert significant influence over its affairs, including the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.

 

Currently, a certain group of stockholders, including our Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, Ora Elharar Soffer (directly and through Beezz Home Technologies Ltd and Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd) and others, collectively own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, such individuals will have the ability, acting together, to control the election of the Company’s directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, and (iii) amendments to its certificate of incorporation. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to the Company’s other stockholders and be disadvantageous to the Company’s stockholders with interests different from those individuals. Certain of these individuals also have significant control over the Company’s business, policies and affairs as officers or directors of the Company. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over the Company.

 

Our executive officers and directors own, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 54% of our outstanding common stock as of the date of this filing. As a result, these persons, acting together, would be able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other significant corporate transactions.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock. Any additional financings effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and the substantial dilution in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to purchases in this offering or other existing stockholders. Also, we have reserved 90,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to future awards under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The issuance of such additional shares of common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, may cause the price of our common stock to decline. Additionally, if all or a substantial portion of these shares are resold into the public markets then the trading price of our common stock may decline.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business, which research and reports are not and would not be subject to our control. We currently do not have and may never obtain research coverage by securities analysts, and industry analysts that currently cover us may cease to do so. If no securities analysts commence coverage of our company, or if industry analysts cease coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock could be materially and adversely impacted. In the event we obtain securities analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may be materially and adversely impacted. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock nor are we under any obligation to declare or pay such cash dividends. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund our operations and the development and growth of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our future ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock may be limited by any future debt instruments or preferred securities. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our common stock if the market price of our common stock increases to a price above the price you paid for them and you sell such shares.

 

16
 

 

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

 

Of the 942,568,006 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of June 28, 2022, of which 125,816,474 shares are freely tradable without restriction by stockholders who are not our affiliates and 816,751,532 shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144.

 

In addition, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the issuance of 90,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. Shares registered under this registration statement on Form S-8 are available for sale in the public market subject to vesting arrangements and exercise of options and the restrictions of Rule 144 in the case of our affiliates.

 

Since we have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

 

We have not allocated the net proceeds from this offering for any specific purpose, except, $_______ to repay debt. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used in ways you would agree with or ways which are likely to increase the value of your investment. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of our net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. It is possible that we will use the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company or your investment. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

 

There is a limited market for our securities, which may make it more difficult to dispose of our securities and we may fail to sustain trading on Nasdaq, which could make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted on OTCQB, under the symbol “CTGL,” and, to date, has traded on a limited basis. We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “CTGL.” If our application is not approved, we will not complete this offering. In the event this offering is completed and our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is no assurance an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained or that we will remain eligible for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

If you purchase our securities in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares. You will experience further dilution if we issue additional equity or equity-linked securities in the future.

 

The public offering price per share of our common stock and warrants will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately prior to the offering. After giving effect to the sale of________ shares of our common stock in this offering, at the assumed public offering price of $______ per share, which is the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB on ____________, 2022, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, purchasers of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $_____ per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock they acquire. For a further description of the dilution that investors in this offering may experience, see “Dilution.”

 

No public market for our Warrants currently exists, and an active public trading market may not develop or be sustained following this offering.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Warrants. Although we have applied to list our common stock and Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market, an active public trading market for our Warrants may not develop following the completion of this offering or, if developed, it may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your securities at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair value of your securities. An inactive market for our common stock may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.

 

The Warrants are speculative in nature.

 

The Warrants will be exercisable for five years from the date of initial issuance at an initial exercise price equal to 100% of the public offering price per Unit set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. There can be no assurance that the market price of the common stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants. In the event that our common stock price does not exceed the exercise price of the Warrants during the period when the Warrants are exercisable, a holder of Warrants may be unable to profit from exercising such warrants before they expire.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We, our directors and our executive officers have agreed not to sell, dispose of or hedge any common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through and including the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions. The underwriter may, in its discretion, release the restrictions on any such shares at any time without notice. See “Underwriting.” We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock would have on the market price of our common stock.

 

If the price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, your investment could lose value.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, under the symbol “CTGL,” and, to date, has traded on a limited basis. We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “CTGL.” We cannot assure you that an active public market will continue for our common stock. If an active public market for our common stock does not continue, the trading price and liquidity of our common stock will be materially and adversely affected. If there is a thin trading market or “float” for our stock, the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a large float, our common stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment in us. Furthermore, the stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate widely in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

 

  our quarterly or annual operating results;
  changes in our earnings estimates or the failure to accurately forecast and appropriately plan our expenses;
  failure to achieve our growth expectations;
  failure to attract new customers or retain existing customers;
  the effect of increased or variable competition on our business;
  additions or departures of key or qualified personnel;
  failure to adequately protect our intellectual property;
  costs associated with defending claims, including intellectual property infringement claims and related judgments or settlements;
  changes in governmental or other regulations affecting our business;
  our compliance with governmental or other regulations affecting our business; and
  changes in global or regional industry, general market, or economic conditions.

 

The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes may not be possible to predict and often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price.

 

Delaware law contains provisions that could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of the Company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of its common stock.

 

Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition involving the Company that its stockholders may consider favorable. For example, the Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” the Company may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company. An “interested stockholder” is, generally, a stockholder who owns 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of the Company who has owned 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions as described in the DGCL.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $____________ after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We currently expect that we will use the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, to repay approximately $__ million of debt and for other general corporate purposes. This debt matures _______ and has an interest rate of ___%.

 

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, along with the net proceeds from this offering, together with interest on cash balances, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months.

As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. In addition, we might decide to postpone or not pursue these certain of these activities if the net proceeds from this offering and the other sources of cash are less than, or do not last as long as, expected. We have no current understandings, agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products, businesses or technologies.

 

Pending their use, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Components of Operating Results

 

The following discussion summarizes the key factors our management believes are necessary for an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenues

 

We have not generated any revenues from product sales as of March 31, 2022.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

The process of researching and developing our products is lengthy, unpredictable, and subject to many risks. We expect to continue incurring expenses for the next several years for research and development as we continue to develop products and innovative solutions . We are unable, with any certainty, to estimate either the costs or the timelines in which those expenses will be incurred. Our current development plans focus on the development of plant-based solutions including Green Side by Side Products.

 

Our research and development costs include costs are composed of:

 

● internal recurring costs, such as personnel-related and consultants costs (salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation and other costs), materials and supplies, facilities and maintenance costs attributable to research and development functions; and

 

● fees paid to external parties who provide us with contract services, such as preclinical testing, manufacturing and related testing and clinical trial activities.

 

Marketing

 

Marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation, and other personnel-related costs associated with executive and other support staff. Other significant marketing expenses include the costs associated with professional fees to develop our marketing strategy.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation, and other personnel-related costs associated with executive, administrative and other support staff. Other significant general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with professional fees for accounting, auditing, insurance costs, consulting and legal services, along with facility and maintenance costs attributable to general and administrative functions.

 

21

Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $25,000 compared to $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2021 The increase is mainly attributable to expenses related to the development of our Green Botanical product line.

 

Marketing, general and Administrative Expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional services, share-based compensation expenses and other non-personnel related expenses such as legal expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,975,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $315,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in our marketing, general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to the decrease in our non-cash share-based compensation expenses offset by increase in professional services expenses.

 

Financing Expenses, Net. Financing expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $389,000 compared to $125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The reason for the increase in financial expenses, net was due to $379,000 of expenses related to convertible loan terms.

22
 

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no revenue, compared to $12,000 in 2020. The decrease in our revenues is mainly attributable to our selling 90% of the shares we held in Novomic Ltd. (“Novomic”) and focusing on our new strategy and business activity, and, therefore, ceasing to consolidate the financial statements of Novomic.

 

The Company’s research and development expenses increased to $96,000 composed of ongoing research and development expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately $17,000 during the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable to expenses related to the development of our Green Botanical product line.

 

The Company’s marketing, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021, were $3,239,000 compared to $8,350,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in our marketing, general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to the decrease in our non-cash share-based compensation expenses.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred financial expenses of $1,181,000, as compared to financial expenses of $322,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The reason for the increase in financial expense was due to $620,000 of loss from extinguishment in connection with convertible loan restructuring.

 

As a result of the above, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4,516,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to a net loss of approximately $8,639,000 in 2020.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. At March 31, 2022, we had current assets of $386,000 compared to total current assets of $349,000 as of December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, we had current liabilities of $1,232,000 as compared to $1,064,000 as of December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, we had total liabilities of $3,097,000 as compared to $2,495,000 as of December 31, 2021. The increase is mainly attributed to the increase in the balance of accounts payables and accrued expenses and the balance of convertible component in convertible notes.

 

At March 31, 2022, we had a cash balance of $293,000 compared to the cash balance of $270,000 as of December 31, 2021.

 

At March 31, 2022, we had a working capital deficiency of $846,000 as compared with a working capital deficiency of $715,000 at December 31, 2021.

Developing & Bringing Plant-Based Wellness & Pharma Products to Market:

 

The plant-based products market is booming with health-conscious consumers spending more on natural products, ranging from nutraceuticals, natural superfoods, beverages, cosmetics, to legal cannabis and the evolving market of botanical and plant-derived drugs. The COVID-19 pandemic has left a lasting impression on consumer behavior, particularly in relation to plant-based nutrition and natural immunity boosters13.

 

Here are the various growing plant-based product global market segments

 

  The nutritional supplements market is expected to reach USD 624.7 billion by 203014.
  The superfoods market is expected to reach USD 287.7 billion by 202715.
  The legal cannabis market is expected to reach USD 70.6 billion by 202816.
  The botanical and plant-derived drug market is expected to reach USD 53 billion by 202617.
  The natural cosmetics market is expected to reach USD 20.8 billion by 202718.

 

We are basing our efforts on technologies to create research and innovation, developing plant-based solutions which include products for improving quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing selected side effects caused by using medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle.

 

About Side Effects Caused by Using Medicines, Treatments or an Unbalanced Lifestyle

 

Side effects are unexpected reactions which may result from using medicines and treatments. There are common side effects, such as dryness in the oral cavity (xerostomia), headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, lack of concentration, and impaired appetite that are associated with the use of medicines and treatments19.

 

The public health impact of harms associated with medicines and treatments is a growing area of investigation, given the expanding pharma industry and widespread availability of drugs and different medical treatments around the world. Current evidence suggests that use of medicines is associated with side effects. Exploring the relationship between drug side-effects and therapeutic indications demonstrates that 69% of drugs have between 10 and 100 different side effects; 22% of drugs have more than 100 side-effects; only 9% of drugs have less than 10 side-effects (Please see Figure 1 below)20

Treatment of side-effects, or adverse drug reactions, has become a healthcare concern. The new market of Pharmacovigilance, also known as drug safety – the pharmaceutical science relating to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products – is developing and expected to reach $12.48 Billion in 2027. Driving this are increasing public awareness and demand for safer medications and increasing government initiatives to promote drug safety around the globe 22.

 

Natural plant-based products show great promise in improving quality of life and can be used as complementary products to balance side effects. Antibiotics and probiotics are an excellent use case. Antibiotics are important for treating bacterial infections; however, they can sometimes cause side effects such as diarrhea, liver disease and changes to the gut microbiota. Using probiotics during and after a treatment with antibiotics can help reduce the risk of diarrhea and restore the gut microbiota to a healthy state 23.

 

Addressing a significant market need, we included in our strategy the development of plant based complementary solutions through wellness as well as clinically developing plant-based pharmaceutical products to address the need to balance selected effects and support people who experience side effects from using medicines, cannabis, and various treatments.

 

Oral Cavity Dry-Mouth -Xerostomia -Side-Effect

 

Research has shown that a possible side effect of using cannabis 24, smoking, or using medications, or treatments is oral cavity dryness (xerostomia). It is important to maintain the saliva level in the mouth to prevent problems and damage, as saliva plays a key role in maintaining health in the oral cavity. Saliva contains calcium and phosphorous which protects teeth, helps the digestive system, prevents bad smell through balancing the acidity that comes from food and bacteria, has enzymes that help break down food, washes food scraps and bacteria, and helps speech as pronunciation of movements and syllables is done with saliva and tongue.

 

Following investigation, we developed the SmokLyTM series of sprays that target to balance the dry mouth side effect (xerostomia) that may result from using medicines, cannabis, smoking or treatments. The SmokLy contains plant extracts distilled from seeds, roots, bark, fruits with active anti-inflammatory substances that encourage saliva production and taste in the oral cavity.

Side Effects from Cannabis Use

 

Following thorough investigation of cannabis’ side effects, we filed a provisional patent application titled “PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SIDE-EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF CANNABIS, CANNABINOIDS AND RELATED PRODUCTS”, patent No: 63/257,673 in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

 

There are currently over 200 million cannabis users worldwide and an increased interest in cannabis as a medicine in recent years25. Cannabis was approved for medical use showing benefit in serious medical conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, chronic pain, and post trauma26. Research indicates that some medical cannabis users experience side effects during their cannabis treatment, which may cause them to discontinue treatment despite good clinical outcomes achieved with the cannabis treatment27.

 

According to the Mayo Clinic in the US these are the most reported side effects in association with cannabis use28:

 

  Headaches
  Dry mouth and dry eyes
  Lightheadedness and dizziness
  Drowsiness
  Fatigue
  Nausea and vomiting
  Disorientation
  Hallucinations
  Increased heart rate
  Increased appetite
  Impaired attention, judgement, and coordination
  Worsened manic symptoms in people who have bipolar disorder
  Increased risk of depression or worsen depression symptoms
  Increased risk of psychosis in people who have schizophrenia
  Impaired memory and cognitive function
  Harmful cardiovascular effects, such as high blood pressure
  Worsened respiratory conditions
 

Adverse interactions including with alcohol and anticoagulants.

We developed a wellness plant-based product line under the brand name of Green Side by Side™ .

 

The Green Side by Side™ includes wellness plant-based product line for improving quality of life and complementary products for balancing selected side effects caused by medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle. We believe the Green Side by Side is positioned to capture market share in the nutritional supplements market that is expected to reach $625 billion by 203030.

 

In December 2021 we finalized the first development of dozens of researched plant-based products under our wellness Green Side by Side™ product line in multiple form factors, such as sprays, powders, tablets, capsules, and tinctures. We used innovative technologies and experience to create the products combining a variety of well researched plants including herbal extracts, medicinal mushrooms, vitamins, minerals and variety of researched plants known for their healing qualities that contain substances with different anti-inflammatory properties and a variety of health-supportive effects that are relaxing, sleep enhancing, energizing, mood and body balancing, enhancing oral care and alleviating side effects .

 

In Q1 2022 we launched in the Israeli market several products from the Green Side by Side product line. We started our initial launch with a local partner, an Israeli medical cannabis company, focusing on the SmokLy series, a line of sprays for the oral cavity to support people with oral cavity dryness (xerostomia), a common side effect experienced by many cannabis users. The local partner distributes the products to medical cannabis pharmacies as complementary products to medical cannabis users. Following an initial trial period, we plan to expand our distribution efforts in the Israeli market for the Green Side by Side product line with retail, pharmacy chains and natural products’ distributors in Israel. We also plan to distribute the Green Side by Side product line in the United States and worldwide with local partners consistent with local regulations.

 

The products are manufactured in Israel in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd under a GMP-certified manufacturing facility approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health.

 

Our strategy is to offer a variety of family lines in various categories.

 

1. Oral Cavity Care Family Line

 

SmokLy Product Family Line targets to balance oral cavity dryness side effect. The Oral Cavity Care Family Line includes the SmokLy TM series of sprays for the oral cavity targeting to balance the dry mouth side effect (xerostomia) that may result from using medicines, cannabis, smoking or treatments. Benefits of the SmokLy series:

 

  Contain plant extracts distilled from seeds, roots, bark, fruits with active anti-inflammatory substances that encourage saliva production, taste and can promote saliva production and moisture in the oral cavity.
  Convenient to use by spraying into the oral cavity
  Come in 7 different flavors: lemon, strawberry, passion fruit, aniseed, mango, maple and mint

 

 

2. The Medicinal Mushrooms Family Line:

 

Medicinal Mushrooms Family Line targets to balance important body systems.

 

The Medicinal Mushrooms Family Line is based on researched medicinal mushrooms that have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and have been proven to be efficient for various medicinal uses. Medicinal Mushrooms were found to have a wide potential in the treatment and prevention of diseases, including protection of the heart, antioxidant activity, balancing and strengthening the immune and digestive systems, lowering cholesterol and balancing blood sugar. Furthermore, it has been shown to protect other important organs such as the liver, with anti-cancer activity.

The Medicinal Mushrooms Family Line includes synergistic combinations of research-based medicinal mushrooms and herbs composed in an herbalist method and made of purely natural ingredients.

 

The products contain dry form, concentrated powders and extracts of mushrooms and herbals researched and found to benefit headaches, changes in blood pressure, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disorders. We are harnessing the power of medicinal mushrooms for restoring nutritional balance and strengthening the immune system and other body systems.

 

3. Booster Family Line

 

Booster Family Line targets to provide energy and strength. The Booster Family Line contains unique research-based ingredients and herbal extracts with a high concentration of antioxidants composed in an herbalist method. The Booster Family Line products create a synergistic combination of researched plants and natural ingredients that have been shown to have health supportive anti-inflammatory properties, which strengthen the immune system and contribute to an improved overall feeling. Imbalance in the body, resulting from poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle, chronic diseases, weakness of the immune system, and side effects of medicines and treatments may lead to recurrent infections, chronic coughing, weakness, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Modern lifestyles that include many tasks and heavy stress, with a non-optimal diet, can lead to fatigue, restlessness, pain, and a particularly sensitive digestive system. All of these can also be side effects of taking various medications and having an unbalanced lifestyle. Continuous stress releases toxic substances in the body, which over time can cause significant health problems. Studies showed that reducing stress improves sleep quality through affecting the nervous system. The Balance & Calm Family Line targets to restore and maintain emotional and body balance and calm the digestive and other systems of the body.

 

5. Personal Protection Family Line:

 

Personal Protection Family Line targets to prevent contagion with viruses and bacteria. The Personal Protection Family Line contains research-based balanced combinations of plants, vitamins and minerals composed in an herbalist method, which together form a shell that supports the proper functioning of many body systems, giving an incentive to the immune system and preventing contagion with viruses and bacteria. In the current reality of pandemics, such as COVID-19, and the widespread use of medicines and treatments we believe it is important to balance and nurture different body systems and to strengthen the immune system.

The Health & Wellness Industries Global Market Size and Potential:

 

The global health and wellness market is expected to reach USD 7.6 trillion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2030. The hectic, unbalanced lifestyle has resulted in the prevalence of lack of proper diet and sleep, stress, depression, anxiety, cancer, diabetes, and various other health related issues. Lack of proper diet has resulted in the reduced intake of essential nutrients and minerals required for the healthy and active functioning of the human body. Precedence research identifies growth opportunities to the health and wellness market players across the globe in the adoption of smart technologies and innovative ways in manufacturing various health and wellness products, nutritional supplements, healthy snacks and beverages, the growing biopharmaceutical industry and development of botanical drugs 42.

 

Health and wellness have been found by Nielsen IQ researchers to be the most powerful consumer force of 2021. In contrast to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19, consumers are being very deliberate with their choices. A survey conducted discovered that consumers emphasize having meaningful and purposeful living, health management, strength and wellness, mental health and stability, happiness, social connections, environmental betterment, balance, and fulfillment. We are witnessing a global movement of health and wellbeing becoming a priority for the public, further emphasized by the global COVID-19 pandemic. There is increasing recognition that people need to take charge of their own health, improve their quality of life, use natural products, and balance side effects caused by medicines and treatment43.

 

The Plant-Based Global Market Size and Potential:

 

The plant-based products market is booming with health-conscious consumers spending more on natural products, ranging from nutraceuticals, natural superfoods, beverages, cosmetics to legal cannabis and the evolving market for botanical and plant-derived drugs. For example:

 

  The nutritional supplements market is expected to reach USD 624.7 billion by 203044.
  The superfoods market is expected to reach USD 287.7 billion by 202745.
  The legal cannabis market is expected to reach USD 70.6 billion by 202846.

The Global Nutritional Supplements Market

 

The global nutritional supplements market is expected to reach USD 624.7 billion by 2030 and is expanding growth at a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2021 to 2030 with plant-based supplements containing natural ingredients and extracts of plants and mushrooms that have a beneficial biological effect49. The global superfoods market is expected to reach USD 214.95 billion by 2027 with superfoods being foods that have a very high nutritional density. This means they provide a substantial amount of nutrients and very few calories. They contain a high volume of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants.

 

Growth in the nutritional supplements is driven by growing awareness of health and safety in the traditional pharma, food, and beverage industries as well as higher healthcare costs. Authentic consumption has become a major food and beverage trend as consumers increasingly seek natural ingredients. Products such as ginseng, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, and garlic, the top selling botanical products are considered natural remedies for inflammation and infections. This is further driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, with consumers looking to strengthen the natural immune system. This is also driving growth of vitamins and minerals and moving towards natural colorant-based plant juice products, since they provide better and long-lasting protection from viruses and bacteria. In addition, botanicals and nutritional supplements are widely used by people who suffer from diseases related to weight management, clinical nutrition, digestive health (gut health problems), immunity, diabetes, and cardio fitness, either as treatment or prevention50.

 

The market demand for Nutritional Supplements is driven by51:

 

  Increasing attention to health and prevention by the consumers
  Greater customization of needs for different segments of the population
  Increased health care costs and search for alternatives to cure specific problems
  The growth in demand for supplements is mainly driven by probiotic supplements, Fatty Acids (i.e. fish oils) and protein supplements
  Herbal/Botanical Supplements usage has emerged as a popular complementary and alternative medicine or supplement to modern medicine
  Rising consumer awareness regarding the severity of digestive disorders, stimulate the growth of the Enzymes segment.

 

The Botanical and Plant-derived Drug Market

 

The global botanical and plant-derivative drug market is anticipated to grow to $53 billion by 2026 driven by growing applications in diseases, technological developments in manufacturing processes and a growing focus and demand for naturally sourced medicines52.

 

Botanical drugs are derived from natural sources, plants and mushrooms, and are considered to have fewer side-effects as compared to synthetic drugs while showing high efficacy in helping to treat different medical conditions and chronic diseases53.

 

The important driver for growth in the global botanical and plant-derivative drug market is its growing applications in diseases. Botanical drugs are derivative of medicinal plants and may contain algae and vegetable substances, along with macroscopic fungi. These may assist in the treatment of various diseases, such as central nervous system disorders, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases. Botanical and plant derivative drugs are available in various forms, such as pills, tablets, and injections54.

 

The Botanical and plant-derivative drug market is primarily driven by the following factors 55

 

Growing applications in diseases
Growing FDA approvals
Technological development in the manufacturing process
Rising demand for traditional medicines
Growing focus on natural source medicines

The Global Cannabis Market

 

The global legal cannabis market size is expected to reach USD 70.6 billion by 2028 driven mainly by increased legalization of cannabis for medical and adult-use and the growing adoption of these products for the treatment of chronic diseases56.

 

There are currently over 200 million cannabis users worldwide and an increased interest in cannabis as a medicine in recent years57. Cannabis was approved for medical use showing benefit in serious medical conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, chronic pain, and post trauma. Research indicates that some medical cannabis users experience side effects during their cannabis treatment, which may cause them to discontinue treatment despite good clinical outcomes achieved with the cannabis treatment58.

 

The Global Natural Cosmetics Market

 

The global natural cosmetics market is projected to reach USD 24.26 billion by 2027 driven mainly by increasing demand for harmful chemical-free cosmetics, rising awareness against the use of animal derivatives and growing social media movements endorsing naturally derived products59.

 

The cosmetic and personal care segment of botanicals is also on the rise with companies increasingly discovering novel herbal ingredients as consumers are seeking more natural products with ingredients that are of plant origin: extracts or oils obtained from raw plant materials. Natural cosmetics are cosmetics that have ingredients of plant origin. The absence of chemical compounds and animal-by products are specifically suited to sensitive skin people. The natural cosmetic products are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Many companies in the field focus on the production of natural cosmetics that are cruelty-free as these products have increasing demand60.

 

Side Effects and Drug Safety/Pharmacovigilance Evolving Market

 

The public health impact of harms associated with medicines and treatments is a growing area of investigation, given the expanding pharma industry and widespread availability of drugs, and different medical treatments around the world.

 

Current evidence suggests that use of medicines, and medical treatments are associated with a series of side effects. For example, exploring the relationship between drug side-effects and therapeutic indications demonstrate that 69% of drugs have between 10 and 100 different side effects; 22% of drugs have more than 100 side-effects; only 9% of drugs have fewer than 10 side-effects (Please see Figure 7 below)61

Drug side-effects, or adverse drug reactions, have become a healthcare concern. The new market of Pharmacovigilance, also known as drug safety—the pharmaceutical science relating to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products—is developing and expected to reach $12.48 billion in 2027. Driving this are increasing public awareness and demand for safer medications and increasing government initiatives to promote drug safety around the globe63.

 

Regulatory Environment

 

In every jurisdiction in which we plan to operate, we will be subject to extensive governmental regulations on the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising, promoting, importing, distributing, shipping, and selling our products, may they be nutritional supplements, cosmetics, foods, or any other category.

 

Prior to commencing operations and/or permitting sales of our products in the market, we may be required to obtain an approval, license, or certification from the relevant country’s ministry of health or another responsible agency. Prior to entering a new market, we plan to work with local authorities, either directly or via our local partner, to obtain the requisite approvals. The approval process usually requires us to present each product and product ingredients and, in some cases, arrange for testing of products by local technicians for ingredient analysis

 

We or our local partners would need to obtain various regulatory approvals and licenses for our different product lines and activities, including production of botanicals, nutritional supplements, natural snacks and beverages, and natural cosmetics. We intend to obtain all regulatory approvals required for different product categories in the different countries in which we will operate either directly or through our local partners.

 

We describe in this section primarily the material regulations that are currently applicable to our products.

 

Regulatory Environment for the Green Side by Side Products

 

While the number of people using nutritional supplements and herbal medicine products continues to increase in many countries, the regulations for these products vary by territory. In some countries supplement use is limited to general health and well-being while in other countries they are permitted for use as medicinal products. To date, there is little consensus from country to country on the scope, requirements, definition, or even the terminology in which the nutritional supplement and herbal medicines categories could be classified.64

 

Our Green Side by Side products are regulated in Israel as nutritional supplements and meet all regulatory compliance requirements for nutritional supplements in Israel. iBOT Israel Botanicals, our manufacturing facility for the Green Side by Side product line, is approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health and is GMP-certified.

 

We expect to launch the Green Side by Side products in Europe in the first half of 2023. We will obtain all relevant regulatory approvals for the Green Side by Side products before launching them in other territories, such as European countries and the U.S..

 

The Israeli Ministry of Health maintains a comprehensive list of authorized nutritional supplements for marketing. This list includes over a thousand different vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs including their extracts. Items under this list can be legally marketed, however, no medical claims can be made without adequate supporting information. The final products can be in various forms such as powders, tablets, hard or soft capsules, liquids, including oils and tinctures. Each product must be manufactured under GMP conditions and be approved by the Ministry of Health prior to selling.

 

Regulatory Compliance for the Green Vision Center Israel

 

We acquired 125,000 sq ft (11,687 sqm), or approximately three acres, of industrial land in the south of Israel upon which a 65,000 sq. ft. (~5,800 sqm) facility will be built composed of manufacturing plants, laboratories, logistics, import and export, offices, training, conference center, and an international visitor complex. The center will be constructed by a real estate professional project construction company and regulatory consultants in the relevant fields that will obtain the required authorizations.

 

We intend to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals and licenses for the Green Vision Center’s production and operation facilities and products.

Convertible Loan Agreements

 

On April 1, 2020 the Company and certain affiliates entered into the CL Agreement with t certain Israeli Partnerships where our CEO and Chairperson is a partner (collectively, the “Buyers”) entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “CL Agreement”). Under the CL Agreement, the Buyers agree to purchase and the Company agrees to issue and sell, for up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,800,000 of the Notes, for a period starting on April 1, 2020 and ending upon the earlier of (i) 6 months thereafter and (ii) the consummation of a public offering by the Company. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of six percent (6%) with respect to amounts paid that are used for working capital purposes of the Company, provided that amounts paid that are used for investment activities of the Company may be subject to different interest rates, in accordance with the Guidelines. The conversion price per share of Common Stock shall equal 85% multiplied by the market price (as defined in the Note), representing a discount of 15%. The payment for each Note must be delivered 14 business days after delivery of the respective draw down notice, and each Note will mature 18 months thereafter. The interval between one draw down and the next must be at least thirty (30) days, provided that the Buyer may waive this requirement. Each draw down notice provided to the Buyer must be for an amount between $50,000 and $350,000, set at the Company’s discretion. The Company must use the amounts paid for the Notes in accordance with the Guidelines. The Buyer shall decide upon and provide to the Company the names of the Buyer parties which will provide the funds to the Company in respect of the Note, including the respective amounts to be transferred to the Company by each such Buyer party. The Buyer shall have the right, from time to time and at its discretion, to add other entities to the list comprising the Buyer. The Buyer may participate alongside the Company in any investment the Company makes for as long as the CL Agreement is in effect. The Company may at any time prepay an outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest) in full by paying the Buyer an amount in cash equal to 115% multiplied by the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, as well as the accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Note, provided however that in the event the Company seeks to exercise this right the Buyer will first have the option to fully convert the Note, or any remaining amount outstanding under it, into Common Stock of the Company, and the conversion amount will be equal to the amount the Company would have paid to the Buyer had the Buyer not exercised this option. On April 19, 2020 and June 12, 2020, the Company provided draw down notices under the CL Agreement for amounts of $170 thousand and $1 million, respectively, which were received in cash by the Company. On June 12, 2020, CL Agreement Amendment was executed to provide that for each draw down made by the Company under the CL Agreement, the Buyer shall be entitled to receive two types of warrants: A Warrants and B Warrants, with the A Warrants exercisable at any time between 6 and 12 months after issuance for an exercise price per share equal to 1.25 times the average of the closing prices of the 3 trading days preceding the draw down, and the B Warrants exercisable at any time between 6 and 24 months after issuance for an exercise price per share equal to 1.5 times the average of the closing prices of the 3 trading days preceding the draw down, and that the number of each of the A Warrants and the B Warrants issued will be equal to the draw down amount divided by the average of the closing prices of the 3 trading days preceding the draw down, and that these amended terms will apply in respect of all draw downs, including drawdowns made prior to the date of the amendment. On April 12, 2021, the parties to the CL Agreement amended the agreement, so that (i) the annual interest on the Notes should be changed to an nine percent (9%) applicable from January 1, 2021, (ii) the Company shall repay the loans at the time it consummates an investment of at least $5 million in the Company’s securities, and (iii) the exercise prices of each of the A Warrants and B Warrants be modified to $0.10 per share and the term of the warrants be extended by one (1) year for the A Warrants and B Warrants.

Agreements with Intelicanna

 

Ilanit Halperin, a director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, is also the Chief Financial Officer of Intelicanna. Doron Birger, a director of ours, is the chairman of the board of directors of Intelicanna Ltd. (“Intelicanna”) effective April 2021. In addition, Ora Elharar Soffer, is a shareholder in Intelicanna.

 

On May 31, 2020, we entered into a strategic partnership with Intelicanna via a share exchange agreement and an agreement for future issuance of shares. Furthermore, on June 25, 2020, the Citrine Global Israel has entered into a services agreement with Intelicanna to provide business development and consulting services to Intelicanna, including assistance with raising financing. Also on June 25, 2020, to assist Intelicanna to raise the first NIS 1 million towards the up to NIS 15 million mentioned in the Services Agreement, the Company and the Israeli Subsidiary entered into an agreement to grant Intelicanna NIS 1 million in cash (approximately USD 290 thousand) in direct financing for working capital purposes. On July 9, 2020, we transferred to Intelicanna NIS 500 thousand (approximately $145 thousand) on account of the above loan. In March 2021, Intelicanna repaid the loan with the 12% annual interest. On September 17, 2020 we issued to Intelicanna 2,143,470 shares of common stock in exchange for 619,589 of Intelicanna’s ordinary shares. Between August 3 – 9, 2021, we sold to an unrelated third party in an off market transaction 619,589 ordinary shares of Intelicanna for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of 1,260,611 NIS (approximately $378,562 based on the current exchange rate). Following the sale, the Company no longer holds any Intelicanna shares. As previously disclosed, the Company obtained the Intelicanna shares in a share exchange agreement entered into with Intelicanna in September 2020. The Company’s decision to sell the Intelicanna shares was taken, in part, to avoid being subject to the terms of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, on May 31, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Intelicanna for future issuance of shares. The agreement for future issuance of shares provides that a fall in a share price of a party, not exceeding 20%, measured six months after issuance of shares by both parties pursuant to a separate share exchange agreement, will be offset by the issuance of additional shares to the other party to bring up to $500 thousand the total value of the shares issued to the other party. On August 15, 2021, the Company’s board of directors determined that it is required to issue to Intelicanna 535,867 shares of the Company’s common stock and has authorized the issuance of such shares to Intelicanna.

 

Share Purchase Agreement with Nanomedic

 

On June 22, 2020, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Nanomedic as part of an A-1 funding round open only to existing Nanomedic shareholders and their affiliates. Our CEO and Chairperson is a director and shareholder in Nanomedic. We paid $450,000 for A-1 preferred shares of Nanomedic and also received warrants to purchase A-1 preferred shares. Such investment represents a holding of approximately 3.3% in Nanomedic. The round raised approximately $2.2 million in total. Citrine S A L Group were already beneficial shareholders of Nanomedic immediately prior to the A-1 funding round. Ilan Ben-Ishay, a director of the Company was already a beneficial shareholder of Nanomedic immediately prior to the A-1 funding round. Ora Elharar Soffer, our chairperson and CEO, was already a director of both Nanomedic and its Israeli parent company, Nicast Ltd. immediately prior to the A-1 funding round, and she was also already a beneficial shareholder of Nanomedic immediately prior to the A-1 funding round.

 

iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd

 

On August 4, 2020, the Board of the Company approved for the Company and Citrine Global Israel to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT. Our CEO and Chairperson, Ora Elharar Soffer, and our director, Ilan Ben-Ishay are directors in iBOT and Citrine SAL, one of our principal shareholders, is a principal shareholder in iBOT. iBOT has a manufacturing facility for a wide range of botanical formulations, and part of its strategy is to combine this with hemp and CBD. The Board gave its approval, subject to agreement of definitive terms and receipt of all necessary corporate and other approvals, for a proposed transaction in which (1) the Company would have an option to make one or more investments during a period of 12 months in an aggregate amount of up to $1 million; (2) the investments may be through loans, direct equity purchases, or other means, and would be based on milestones; and (3) iBOT would grant the Company a 25% discount in its next fundraising. In addition, the Board approved for the Company to proceed with preparations for entering a services agreement with iBOT pursuant to which the Company would provide consulting and other services to iBOT. iBOT is controlled by an affiliate of the Company.

 

On November, 2021, the Company, Cannovation Center Israel and CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd., on the one hand (collectively the “Citrine Global Group”), and iBOT, on the other hand, entered into an Exclusive Strategic Collaboration and Alliance Agreement (the “Exclusive Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which iBOT granted to the Citrine Global Group, jointly and individually, exclusive world-wide rights, solely with respect to the cannabis market, to iBOT’s botanical formulas and nutritional supplements, including, the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of such products. The exclusive rights include the right of any of the Citrine Global Group to grant rights thereunder to third parties so long as such third parties shall agree to be bound by terms consistent with those contained in this Agreement. In consideration of the grant of the rights under the Exclusive Rights Agreement, Citrine Global Group granted to iBOT the exclusive right to manufacture in State of Israel (consistent with the terms of the Manufacturing Agreement) the botanical products. In addition, so long as iBOT is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Citrine Global Group determines to manufacture botanical products outside of Israel, then iBOT is to be afforded the opportunity to perform such manufacturing for the Citrine Group at iBOT’s facility in Israel provided that iBOT complies with all of the terms and conditions relating to such manufacturing project, including the price per unit, delivery schedules, packaging requirements regulation and other relevant terms.

In October 2021, iBOT granted to Citrine Global Group a pre-emption right to any equity or equity linked securities that iBOT proposes to issue to an unrelated third party with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company exceeding $1 million or which will result in a change in control in iBOT following such issuance, then iBOT is to give to the Citrine Global Group written notice of such proposed issuance and the relevant terms thereof and the Citrine Global Group shall have ten (10) days thereafter to determine if it elects to purchase a minimum of 51% of the proposed issuance on the price and other terms specified in the notice sent by iBOT (the “Pre-Emption Right”). If the Citrine Global Group elects to exercise the Pre-Emption Right, such purchase is to take place at no more than 90 days following the expiration of the 10 day notice period to the Citrine Global Group. Any iBOT securities of the Pre-Emption Right that Citrine Global Group elects to not purchase are to be sold by not later than 90 days following the end of the Citrine Global Group’s notice period and if such shares are not sold to such third party within the 90 day period, the Pre-Emption right shall apply to any subsequent proposed issuance. The preemption right does not apply to certain specified exceptions.

Units

 

Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and two Warrants, each Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, each as described further below. The Units will not be issued or certificated. Purchasers of Units will receive only shares of common stock and Warrants. The common stock and Warrants may be transferred separately immediately upon issuance.

 

Warrants to be issued in this offering

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants included in the Units offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of Warrant, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of Warrant.

 

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may elect to exercise the Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

 

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants is 100% the of public offering price of the Unit. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent sales of our common stock (or securities exercisable for convertible into common stock) at a purchase price (or conversion or exercise price, as applicable) less than the then-effective exercise price. In the event of such a subsequent sale, the exercise price will be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions and subject to a minimum exercise price set forth in the Warrants.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

 

Exchange Listing. We have applied to have the Warrants offered in this offering listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CTGLW”. No assurance can be given that a trading market will develop.

UNDERWRITING

 

Aegis Capital Corp., or Aegis, is acting as the underwriter of the offering. We have entered into an underwriting agreement dated , 2022 with the underwriter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts, the number of Units listed next to its name in the following table:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriter has agreed to purchase all of the Units offered by this prospectus (other than those covered by the option described below), if any are purchased.

 

The shares of common stock and Warrants offered hereby are expected to be ready for delivery on or about __________, 2022 against payment in immediately available funds.

 

We have granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to additional shares of common stock, representing 15% of the shares sold in the offering and/or up to additional Warrants, representing 15% of the Warrants sold in the offering, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The purchase price to be paid per additional share will be equal to the public offering price of one Unit, less the purchase price for the two Warrants included within the Unit and the underwriting discount. The purchase price to be paid per additional Warrant will be $0.01. If this option is exercised in full to purchase shares of common stock only, the total price to the public will be $_____ and the total net proceeds, before expenses, to us will be $______. If this option is exercised in full to purchase Warrants only, the total price to the public will be $_____ and the total net proceeds, before expenses, to us will be $_____.

 

The underwriter is offering the shares of common stock and Warrants subject to various conditions and may reject all or part of any order. The underwriter has advised us that the underwriter proposes initially to offer the Units to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at a price less a concession not in excess of $ per Unit to brokers and dealers. After the shares of common stock and Warrants are released for sale to the public, the underwriter may change the offering price, the concession, and other selling terms at various times.

 

The following table provides information regarding the amount of the discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriter by us, before expenses:

 

   Per

Public offering price  $          $             $             
Underwriting discounts and commissions (1)  $    $    $  
                
Proceeds, before expenses, to us  $   $   $ 

 

(1) We have agreed to pay the underwriter a commission of 7% of the gross proceeds of this offering.

 

We have also agreed to pay Aegis Capital Corp. (a) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the offering and (b) $100,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses. We estimate the total expenses payable by us for this offering will be approximately $3.0 million, which amount excludes underwriting discounts and commissions and the non-accountable expense allowance.

 

The Company has agreed to issue to Aegis Capital Corp. or its designees warrants to purchase up to a total of 10.0% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering (excluding the shares sold through the exercise of the over-allotment option). Such warrants and underlying shares of common stock are included in this prospectus. The warrants are exercisable at $ per share (125% of the public offering price) commencing on a date which is 180 days from the commencement of sales in the offering and expiring on a date which is no more than five (5) years from the commencement of sales in the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110. The warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180 day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110 of FINRA. The underwriter (or its permitted assignees under the Rule) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from effectiveness. The warrants may be exercised as to all, or a lesser number of shares of common stock, and will provide for cashless exercise and will contain provisions for “piggyback” registration rights, for a period of no greater than seven (7) years from the commencement of sales in the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below the warrant exercise price.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

52
 

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Pursuant to “lock-up” agreements, our executive officers and directors and holders of 10% or more our outstanding common stock, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the underwriter not to directly or indirectly offer to sell, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the transfer or disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any of shares of our common stock, enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of shares of our common stock, make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock or any of our other securities or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period of 180 days from the closing date of the Offering. We have agreed not to issue any shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 180 days from the closing date of the Offering without the consent of the underwriter.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

Beginning on the closing date of the Offering and ending twenty-four (24) months after the closing date of the Offering, the Company or any of its subsidiaries (a) decides to finance or refinance any indebtedness, Aegis (or any affiliates designated by Aegis) shall have the right to act as sole book-runner, sole manager, sole placement agent or sole agent with respect to such financing or refinancing; or (b) decides to raise funds by means of a public offering (including at-the-market facility) or a private placement or any other capital raising financing of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, Aegis (or any affiliate designated by Aegis) shall have the right to act as sole book-running manager, sole underwriter or sole placement agent for such financing. If Aegis or one of its affiliates decides to accept any such engagement, the agreement governing such engagement will contain, among other things, provisions for customary fees for transactions of similar size and nature, but in no event will the fees be less than those outlined herein, and the provisions of this Agreement, including indemnification, which are appropriate to such a transaction.

 

Tail Financing

 

Aegis shall be entitled to underwriter’s commissions, non-accountable expenses, and underwriter’s warrants, in the same manner as described above in this Offering, with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising transaction of any kind (“Tail Financing”) to the extent that such financing or capital is provided to the Company by funds whom Aegis had contacted during the engagement period or introduced to the Company during the engagement period, if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the 5 month period following the expiration or termination of the engagement letter between the company and Aegis.

 

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by underwriter or selling group members. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of securities to selling group members for sale to its online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriter and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us, and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.

 

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum, and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.

 

Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriter of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any short position by exercising its over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

53
 

 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares of common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Passive market making

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriter and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

 

Other Relationships

 

The underwriter and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which it may in the future receive customary fees.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus has been passed upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP, New York, New York. Kaufman & Canoles, P.C., Richmond, Virginia., has acted as counsel for the underwriter in connection with certain legal matters related to this offering.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citrine Global Corp and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Citrine Global, Corp. (“Citrine Global” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 26, 2010. The Company’s common stock is traded in the United States on the OTCQB market under the ticker symbol “CTGL.”

 

Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On January 6, 2020, the Company’s predecessor company, TechCare Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TechCare”), and Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd., an Israeli corporation and a major shareholder of the Company (“Citrine S A L”), and a group of related persons and entities (the “Citrine S A L Group”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Citrine S A L Group Agreement”), which was later amended and restated on February 23, 2020 (the “AR Citrine S A L Group Agreement”). Pursuant to the AR Citrine S A L Group Agreement, TechCare agreed to sell Citrine S A L Group and its group of business partners, up to an aggregate of 893,699,276 shares of TechCare’s common stock, representing approximately 95% of TechCare’s fully diluted capital, in two tranches, with the initial tranche of up to 452,063,196 shares of the TechCare’s common stock to be sold conditioned upon (i) the resignation of the Company’s existing members of its board of directors (the “Board”), consisting of Oren Traistman and Yossef De-Levy, (ii) the appointment of each of Ora Elharar Soffer (formerly Ora Meir Soffer), Ilan Ben-Ishay and Ilanit Halperin as members of the Board, and (iii) the transfer of the TechCare’s signatory rights to all Company bank accounts in the name of Citrine S A L Group’s nominee. In addition, the AR Citrine S A L Group Agreement provides for the second tranche of up to the remaining number of shares of common stock that will result in Citrine S A L Group, owning 95% of the TechCare’s fully diluted capital stock, to be sold conditioned upon the filing of the Company’s previously approved amendment to its First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized capital.

 

On January 6, 2020, definitive agreements were executed for the sale of 90% of the shares in Novomic Ltd. (“Novomic”) to Traistman Radziejewski Fundacja Ltd. (“TRF”), which was completed on May 14, 2020 (the “Novomic Divestment”), and for the issuance and sale of a number of shares equal after the issuance to 95% of the fully diluted capital stock of the Company to Citrine S A L Group, which was amended on February 23, 2020, to provide for the issuance and sale of the shares in stages (the “Citrine Global Transaction”). Shares of the Company were issued and sold in accordance with this amended agreement to Citrine S A L Group on February 27, 2020, March 5, 2020, and, after the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized share capital, on November 11, 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL (cont’d)

 

On July 21, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary began to work with certain Company shareholders, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd., in which Ora Elharar Soffer, the Company’s chairperson and CEO holds shares, and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., in which Ilan Ben-Ishai, a director of the Company, holds shares, have been working towards establishing an Operational Innovation Center focuses on the medical cannabis industry, CBD, hemp, botanical, food supplements and cosmetics products. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with preparations for entering into an agreement to incorporate a new company, named Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (“Cannovation”), with Beezz Home Technologies Ltd.and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., and to accept limitations on the Israeli Subsidiary’s rights in the Cannovation Center if and as mandated under Israeli regulations on the involvement of foreign entities.

 

On August 4, 2020, the Board of the Company approved for the Company and its Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd., an Israeli nutritional supplements’ company developing and manufacturing botanical formulas and nutritional supplements for custom & contract manufacturing for leading botanical companies (“iBOT”). iBOT has a manufacturing facility for a wide range of botanical formulations. iBOT’s manufacturing facility is approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health and is GMP-certified, ISO9001-certified and HACCP certified by IQC. The principal shareholders and control persons of iBOT are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a Company director. On August 4, 2020, our Board of Directors approved for the Company and Citrine Global Israel to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT. On August 9, 2021, through our 60% owned subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel, we entered into an agreement with iBOT pursuant to which iBOT agreed to manufacture a line of nutritional supplements for Cannovation Center Israel, including packaging and storage. On September 29, 2021, we agreed to advance to iBOT, up to $50 thousands with a 12 month maturity date and we transferred, as a first tranche, $15 thousands on October 8, 2021. The loan bears interest at an effective annual interest rate of 12% as and is convertible, at the option of Citrine Global, into equity shares of iBOT at conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) 25% discount to the most recent round of capital raised by iBOT during the term of the loan and (ii) the rate specified in the framework agreement]. In addition, the agreement provided that our Israeli subsidiary is entitled to convert the outstanding loan, in whole or in part, to satisfy payments of amounts owed to iBOT under the services agreements between the parties

 

In October 2021, iBOT granted to Citrine Global Group, a pre-emption right to any equity or equity linked securities that iBOT proposes to issue to an unrelated third party with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company exceeding $1 million or which will result in a change in control in iBOT following such issuance, then iBOT is to give to the Citrine Global Group written notice of such proposed issuance and the relevant terms thereof and the Citrine Global Group shall have ten (10) days thereafter to determine if it elects to purchase a minimum of 51% of the proposed issuance on the price and other terms specified in the notice sent by iBOT (the “Pre-Emption Right”). If the Citrine Global Group elects to exercise the Pre-Emption Right, such purchase is to take place at no more than 90 days following the expiration of the 10 day notice period to the Citrine Global Group. Any iBOT securities of the Pre-Emption Right that Citrine Global Group elects to not purchase are to be sold by not later than 90 days following the end of the Citrine Global Group’s notice period and if such shares are not sold to such third party within the 90 day period, the Pre-Emption right shall apply to any subsequent proposed issuance. The preemption right does not apply to certain specified exceptions.

 

On August 20, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd., and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. incorporated Cannovation. Israeli Subsidiary holds 60% of Cannovation’s shares, while each of Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. holds 20% of its shares. See note 4 for additional information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL (cont’d)

 

Stock split

 

On November 22, 2020, certain of the Company’s stockholders representing more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding share capital (the “Majority Consenting Stockholders”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment”) in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a range of between 40-to-1 and 100-to-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each forty or one hundred shares of common stock, as shall be determined by the Board at a later time, will be automatically converted, without any further action by the stockholders, into one share of common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder of the Company will be entitled to receive one share of common stock in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Majority Consenting Stockholders also approved the elimination of the Company’s entire authorized class of fifty million (50,000,000) undesignated preferred stock, thereby reducing the total number of shares of capital stock that the Company may issue from one billion five hundred fifty-thousand (1,550,000,000) shares to one billion five hundred thousand (1,500,000,000) shares, all of which are designated as common stock (the “Certificate of Elimination”). The Certificate of Elimination will be effective upon the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, which was not completed as of the date of this report’s filing. The Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment will be effective upon receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, both of which were not completed as of the date of the approval of the financial statements.

 

Financial support from shareholders

 

The Company has not yet to generate revenues and is dependent on raising funds from its current shareholders or from other sources. On April 13, 2021, Citrine S A L, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and related parties, has furnished the Company with an irrevocable letter of obligation to financially support the Company until June 30, 2022. On March 17, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd. extended this support through June 30, 2023.

 

The Company has no significant firm commitments that require it to remit cash, and can control the level of expenses it incurs. Based on the Company’s current cash balances, and the irrevocable letter of obligation from Citrine S A L noted above, the Company believes it has sufficient funds for its plans for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. As the Company is embarking on its new activity as detailed herein, it is incurring losses. It cannot determine with reasonable certainty when and if it will have sustainable profits.

 

Patent application

 

On October 20, 2021, the Provisional Patent Application No: 63/257,673 for “PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SIDE-EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF CANNABIS, CANNABINOIDS AND RELATED PRODUCTS” was registered at the US Patent and Trademark Office. The patent application describes certain side effects of cannabis use, the needs, technologies, and solutions to support medical cannabis patients who experience side effects related to their cannabis treatment.

 

COVID-19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) to be a global pandemic (COVID-19), which continues to spread throughout the world. The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. Specifically with respect to the Company, COVID-19 may impact various parts of its 2022 plans, operations and financial results, including but not limited to difficulties in obtaining additional financing. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company believes it is taking appropriate actions to mitigate the negative impact, including by focusing its activities initially only within the country of Israel. However, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated as these events are still developing.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citrine Global and its Israeli Subsidiaries, CTGL - Citrine Global Israel Ltd and Cannovation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include share-based compensation and fair value measurements of the convertible notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions.

 

Effective May 14, 2020, the Company adopted the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Prior to May 14, 2020, the functional currency of the Company was the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”). The change in functional currency of the Company is due to the increased exposure to the U.S. dollar as a result of Sale of the Novomic as described in Note 1 above.

 

Therefore, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar.

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the year.

Trading securities and short-term loan measured at fair value

 

The Company accounts for its investments in trade securities in accordance with Accounting Standards “ASC”) No. 321, “Investments— Equity Securities.” The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in trading securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the fair value at each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2020, all of the Company’s investments in trading securities are classified as held for trade (see also Note 8). Therefore, the Company’s trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet as well as the short-term loan measured at fair value according to the company’s election. Changes in fair value of trading securities and short-term loan are recorded in financing income (expenses), net in the consolidated statement of operations. The balance of the investments in trading securities as of December 31, 2021 is zero.

Investments valued under the measurement alternative

 

The Company’s investments as described in Notes 3 and 1 are valued under the measurement alternative include equity securities in other proprietary investments for which the Company does not have significant influence and fair value is not readily determinable. Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 requires equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

 

Due to the lack of readily determinable fair values for such investments, for which the Company does not have significant influence, the Company accounts for these investments under the measurement alternative at cost, less impairment.

 

The Company performs qualitative impairment assessments on its investments recorded under the measurement alternative.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Group’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No indicators of impairment have been identified as of December 31, 2020 and 2021.

 

Derivatives

 

Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized as a component of financial expenses, net in the statements of operation.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities and assets are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Deferred income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax law. Deferred tax balances are computed using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets are provided for, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. According to ASC Topic 740-10, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions under income taxes, however the Company did not recognize such items in its fiscal 2021 and 2020 financial statements and did not recognize any liability with respect to an unrecognized tax position in its balance sheets.

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share

 

Basic loss per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to holders of shares of Common Stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Securities that may participate in dividends with the shares of Common Stock (such as the convertible Preferred Stock) are considered in the computation of basic loss per share under the two-class method. However, in periods of net loss, only the convertible Preferred Stock are considered, since such shares have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.

 

In computing diluted loss per share, basic loss per share is adjusted to reflect the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of potential shares. Accordingly, in periods of net loss, no potential shares are considered.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for all equity-based payments based on their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Share-based payments including grants of stock options are recognized in the statement of operation as an operating expense based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company has expensed compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, applying the accelerated vesting method, over the requisite service period or over the implicit service period.

Fair value

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value, as defined by ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

 

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: (i) the market approach; (ii) the income approach; and (iii) the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

 

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), (ii) segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and (iii) a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents as well as certain other current assets that do not amount to a significant amount. Cash and cash equivalents, which are primarily held in Dollars and New Israeli Shekels, are deposited with major banks in Israel and United States. Management believes that such financial institutions are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments. The Company does not have any significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company records accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, litigation and other sources when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and(2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective as of December 31, 2021 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT VALUED UNDER THE MEASUREMENT ALTERNATIVE

 

On June 22, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Nanomedic Technologies Ltd., an Israeli private company and a related party as further described below (“Nanomedic”) as part of an A-1 funding round open only to existing Nanomedic shareholders and their affiliates. Nanomedic developed SpinCare™, a system that integrates electrospinning technology into a portable, bedside device, offering immediate wound and burn care treatment. The Company paid $450 thousand for A-1 preferred shares of Nanomedic and also received warrants to purchase A-1 preferred shares. Such investment represents a holding of approximately 3.3% in Nanomedic. The round raised approximately $2.2 million in total. Citrine S A L and certain of its partnerships, all affiliates of the Company, were already beneficial shareholders of Nanomedic immediately prior to the A-1 funding round. Ilan Ben-Ishay, a director of the Company was already a beneficial shareholder of Nanomedic immediately prior to the A-1 funding round. Ora Meir Soffer, chairperson and CEO of the Company, was already a director of both Nanomedic and its Israeli parent company Nicast Ltd. immediately prior to the A-1 funding round, and she was also already a beneficial shareholder of Nanomedic immediately prior to the A-1 funding round.

 

The Company accounts for the investment in Nanomedic in accordance with the provisions of ASC 321, “Investments - Equity Securities”, and elected to use the measurement alternative therein. The investment will be re-measured upon future observable price change(s) in orderly transaction(s) or upon impairment, if any.

On July 13, 2021, the Ministry of Economy of the Israeli government recommended to the Israel Land Authority (“ILA”) that it approve a grant of 11,687 square meters of industrial parcel of land in Yeruham, Israel (the “Land”) for Cannovation to build the Cannovation Center, at a subsidized price and exempt from a tender procedures typically required under Israeli law, to include factories, laboratories, logistics and a distribution center for the medical cannabis, and botanicals industries. As noted, Citrine Global owns 60% of the share capital of Cannovation, through the Israeli Subsidiary. The grant was initially awarded on December 30, 2020 for 10,000 square meters of industrial land in Yeruham, Israel and was increased to 11,687 square meters on July 13, 2021. Cannovation is in process of receiving the required building permits and approvals to start the construction and is in process with several financing entities in the area of real-estate financing.
     
    During December 2021, Cannovation remitted to the Israeli Ministry of the Economy and the ILA the aggregate amount of 688 thousand NIS ($221 thousands on the date of payment) to obtain the rights to the Land. The discounted amount paid is part of the grant by the Israeli government under government programs to encourage industrial development in Southern Israel. The amount remitted represents the sum total amount that Cannovation is required to pay as the purchase price for the Land. In addition, the Israeli Ministry of Economy is also expected to cover approximately 30% of the building and equipment expenses. Cannovation is also expected to benefit from a reduced corporate tax rate which is intended to encourage industrial development in Southern Israel.
     
    Under the Agreement, Cannovation committed to build and develop the Green Vision Center in accordance with the time frames, terms and conditions of the Agreement. Typically, the initial time frame for completing the development is four (4) years, subject to extensions that the ILA may approve. Upon completion of the development within the time frames and other requirements specified in the Agreement, Cannovation will be entitled, subject to Israeli law, to long term lease agreement (49 years) to the Land (equivalent to ownership rights as most of the land in Israel is government owned and when marketed usually the developers are granted with development/long lease rights).
     
    The Company has also classified $27 thousands of related expenses to land costs.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES (cont’d)

 

On April 12, 2021, the parties to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “CL Agreement”) amended the CL Agreement to (i) change the annual interest on the Notes to nine percent (9%), applicable from January 1, 2021, (ii) ensure that the Company shall repay the loans at the time it consummates an investment in the amount of at least $5 million in the Company’s securities, and (iii) modify the exercise prices of each of the A Warrants and B Warrants to $0.10 per share, and the term of the A Warrants and B Warrants be extended by one year.

 

The Company concluded that the change in term does not constitute a trouble debt restructuring. Thereafter, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments. The accounting treatment is determined by whether terms of the new debt and original debt are substantially different.

 

The new debt and the old debt are considered “substantially different” pursuant to ASC 470-50 when the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument (including the incremental fair value resulting from the change in the terms of the warrants held by the lender). If the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt should be initially recorded at fair value, with the difference recognized as an extinguishment gain or loss. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as an extinguishment.

 

The extinguishment resulted in a loss of $620 thousands (including of $361 thousands – change in the fair value of the warrants which is considered transaction cost).

 

The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used to perform the calculations are detailed below:

 

Fair value of the warrants immediately before the change:

 

Fair value of the warrants  A Warrant   B Warrant 
Expected volatility (%)   150.5%   158.7%
Risk-free interest rate (%)   0.04%   0.08%
Expected dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%

Fair Value Proportional Allocation for the June 24 Loan

 

The fair value of the note was estimated at $308 thousands. The note is accounted for according to the effective interest method.

 

Based on the above, the fair value proportion allocation as of June 24, 2021 was as follows:

(US dollars in thousands)

 
Conversion Component  $117 
Warrants   172 
Convertible Notes   61 
Total  $350 

 

  C. On August 13, 2021, the Company and the holders of $1,520 thousands in principal amount under the CL Agreement as detailed in Note 5A and 5B above, entered into an additional agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the following terms were effected:

 

  (i) Extension of the maturity date on the Outstanding CL Notes to July 31, 2023, provided, that if the Company consummates prior to maturity an investment of at least $5 million of the Company’s securities, then the Company shall repay the principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes from such proceeds;
  (ii) Amendment of the conversion price on the Outstanding CL Notes to a fixed conversion price of $0.10 per share; and
  (iii) Confirming the agreement of the holders of the Outstanding CL Notes to honor draw down notice for balance of remainder of the $1,800 thousands originally committed to under the CL Agreement (i.e., $280 thousands) through March 31, 2022.

 

The Company concluded that the change in term constitutes a trouble debt restructuring, due to its financial condition and the relief that the abovementioned changes provided.

 

A new effective interest rate was established based on the carrying value of the debt and the revised cash flows.

 

Following the abovementioned amendment on August 13, 2021, the conversion component is qualifying for the scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a). In accordance with ASC 815-15-35-4, since the embedded conversion option in the convertible debt no longer meets the bifurcation criteria, the fair value of the conversion component, in the amount of $670,224, was reclassified from short-term liability to shareholders equity at that date.

 

Conversion feature In accordance with ASC 815-15-25, the conversion feature was considered embedded derivative instrument, and is to be recorded at its fair value separately from the convertible notes, within current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The conversion component is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.

NOTE 8 – AGREEMENTS WITH INTELICANNA LTD

 

  A. On May 31, 2020, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Intelicanna Ltd., an Israeli medical cannabis company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange with ticker symbol INTL (“Intelicanna”), via a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) and an agreement for future issuance of shares (the “Agreement for Future Issuance of Shares”). The Share Exchange Agreement provides that (i) the number of shares each party issues to the other will be calculated by dividing $500 thousand by the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the issuing party’s shares in the three trading days preceding the signing of the agreement, (ii) the issuance by Intelicanna will take place upon, and subject to, receipt of approval from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and the issuance by the Company will follow immediately thereafter, and (iii) the parties may not sell the shares within the first six months after issuance, and thereafter the parties may sell the shares issued to them if the shares become registered through a prospectus approved by the relevant securities authority, or under an exemption provided by applicable securities law, subject to a limit on the number of shares either party may sell per day. The Agreement for future Issuance of Shares provides that a fall in a share price of a party, not exceeding 20%, measured six months after issuance of shares by both parties pursuant the Share Exchange Agreement, will be offset by the issuance of additional shares to the other party to bring up to $500 thousand the total value of the shares issued to the other party. On August 15, 2021, the Company’s board of directors determined that it is required to issue to Intelicanna 619,589 shares of the Company’s common stock and has authorized the issuance of such shares to Intelicanna. As of December 31, 2021, the common stock have not been issued yet. As such, the Company recorded an additional $14 thousands to be issued to Intellicanna.
     
    On September 17, 2020 the Company issued to Intelicanna 2,143,470 shares of Common Stock in exchange for 619,589 of Intelicanna’s ordinary shares. The Company measures its investment in Intelicanna at fair value through profit or loss at level 2. The fair value reflects the value of Intelicanna’s stock price less discounts for lack of marketability since the parties may not sell the shares within the first six months after issuance. During the period, the change in traded securities’ fair value was in the amount of approximately $50 thousand.
     
    The fair value of such shares exchange agreement was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is presented among current liabilities within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
     
    The following are the data and assumptions used as of the balance sheet date related to future potential issuance of shares as describe above for potential fall in share price of a party, not exceeding 20%:

Following the sale, the Company no longer holds any Intelicanna shares.

 

  B. Furthermore, on June 25, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary entered into a services agreement with Intelicanna to provide business development and consulting services to Intelicanna, including assistance with raising financing (the “Services Agreement”) (references in this paragraph to the Company include the Israeli Subsidiary). The terms of the Services Agreement include: (1) the Company will, for a period of 18 months, assist Intelicanna to raise up to NIS 15 million for Intelicanna’s working capital purposes, whether through issuance of convertible securities or any other means; all sums raised must be approved in advance by the Company, and in accordance with a business plan presented to the Company from time to time; the Company will have no obligation under the Services Agreement to invest in Intelicanna, and no liability if its efforts to source financing for Intelicanna are unsuccessful; (2) in the event Intelicanna raises funds through assistance from the Company, the Company will be entitled to (i) cash consideration equal to 5% of any amount raised, whether directly from the Company, or from any of its affiliates or any unrelated third party, and (ii) options to acquire a number of shares of Intelicanna equal to 5% of the amount raised divided by the Exercise Price; the “Exercise Price” will be the price per share at which the amount was raised, or if it was not raised through issuance of shares, the price per share at which Intelicanna last raised funds through issuance of shares; and (3) for one or more periods of at least 90 days, each time at Intelicanna’s request which the Company may accept or decline at its discretion, the Company will provide business development and strategy-building services, including: consulting on strategy and business plan; assistance defining financing needs; helping identify ways to develop potential sources of finance; and ongoing consulting support to Intelicanna’s management team and board.

    On October 5, 2021 the Company and Intelicanna mutually terminated the Service Agreement.
     
  C. Also on June 25, 2020, the Company and the Israeli Subsidiary entered into an agreement to grant Intelicanna Ltd. (“Intelicanna”) New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) 1 million in cash (approximately $290 thousand) in direct financing for working capital purposes. The financing will bear 6% annual interest, and Intelicanna will make additional payments equal to 6% of its gross revenues from the date the financing was received and until the date Intelicanna’s aggregate gross revenues reach NIS 2 million (approximately $600 thousand).If the total of the 6% interest plus the additional payments would result in a return of less than 12% per year to the Company, the interest would be increased to bring the total return to 12%. Every three months Intelicanna must pay the interest, and after 12 months, it must repay the capital, plus the total of the additional payments due, plus any outstanding interest, and it must pay interest of 2% per month on any late payments, provided, however, that until the foregoing obligations are paid in full, Intelicanna must pay 50% of its gross revenues to the Company upon receipt. If Intelicanna does not pay all amounts due within 18 months, it shall, at the Company’s option, issue to the Company a number of its shares equal to NIS 1.5 million (approximately $0.45 million) divided by the lower of (i) volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the three trading days prior to the lapse of the 18 months, and (ii) VWAP of the three trading days prior to the signing of the financing agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2021, Intelicanna repaid the full principal of the loan together with 12% interest, which amounted to NIS 46 thousand (approximately $14 thousand).

 

Ilanit Halperin, a director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, is also the Chief Financial Officer of Intelicanna. Doron Birger, a director at the Company, is also the chairman of the board of directors of Intelicanna, effective March 30, 2022.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAX

 

  A. United States resident companies are taxed on their worldwide income for corporate income tax purposes at a statutory rate of 21%. No further taxes are payable on this profit unless that profit is distributed. If certain conditions are met, income derived from foreign subsidiaries is tax exempt in the United States under applicable tax treaties to avoid double taxation.
     
    Income of the Israeli Subsidiary is taxable from 2018 and onwards, at corporate tax rate of 23%.
     
    The Company and its Israeli Subsidiary have not received final tax assessments since the Israeli Subsidiary’s inception.
     
    As of December 31, 2021, the Company and the Israeli Subsidiaries have carryforward losses for tax purposes of approximately $3,954 thousands and $337 thousands, respectively, which can be offset against future taxable income, if any.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

 

Citrine Global, Corp. (“Citrine Global” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 26, 2010. The Company’s common stock is traded in the United States on the OTCQB market under the ticker symbol “CTGL.”

 

On June 3, 2020 the Company established a wholly owned new Israeli subsidiary: CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd, (the “Israeli Subsidiary”).

 

On July 21, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary began to work with certain Company shareholders, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd., in which Ora Elharar Soffer, the Company’s chairperson and CEO holds shares, and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., in which Ilan Ben-Ishai, a director of the Company, holds shares, have been working towards establishing an Operational Innovation Center focuses on the medical cannabis industry, CBD, hemp, botanical, food supplements and cosmetics products. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with preparations for entering into an agreement to incorporate a new company, named Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (“Cannovation”), with Beezz Home Technologies Ltd.and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., and to accept limitations on the Israeli Subsidiary’s rights in the Cannovation Center if and as mandated under Israeli regulations on the involvement of foreign entities.

 

On August 4, 2020, the Board of the Company approved for the Company and its Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd., an Israeli nutritional supplements’ company developing and manufacturing botanical formulas and nutritional supplements for custom & contract manufacturing for leading botanical companies (“iBOT”). iBOT has a manufacturing facility for a wide range of botanical formulations. iBOT’s manufacturing facility is approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health and is GMP-certified, ISO9001-certified and HACCP certified by IQC. The principal shareholders and control persons of iBOT are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a Company director. On August 4, 2020, the Board of Directors approved for the Company and Citrine Global Israel to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT. On August 9, 2021, through the 60% owned subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel, the Company entered into an agreement with iBOT pursuant to which iBOT agreed to manufacture a line of nutritional supplements for Cannovation Center Israel, including packaging and storage. On September 29, 2021, the Company agreed to advance to iBOT, up to $50 thousands with a 12 month maturity date and the Company transferred, as a first tranche, $15 thousands on October 8, 2021. The loan bears interest at an effective annual interest rate of 12% as and is convertible, at the option of Citrine Global, into equity shares of iBOT at conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) 25% discount to the most recent round of capital raised by iBOT during the term of the loan and (ii) the rate specified in the framework agreement]. In addition, the agreement provided that the Israeli subsidiary is entitled to convert the outstanding loan, in whole or in part, to satisfy payments of amounts owed to iBOT under the services agreements between the parties

 

In October 2021, iBOT granted to Citrine Global Group, a pre-emption right to any equity or equity linked securities that iBOT proposes to issue to an unrelated third party with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company exceeding $1 million or which will result in a change in control in iBOT following such issuance, then iBOT is to give to the Citrine Global Group written notice of such proposed issuance and the relevant terms thereof and the Citrine Global Group shall have ten (10) days thereafter to determine if it elects to purchase a minimum of 51% of the proposed issuance on the price and other terms specified in the notice sent by iBOT (the “Pre-Emption Right”). If the Citrine Global Group elects to exercise the Pre-Emption Right, such purchase is to take place at no more than 90 days following the expiration of the 10 day notice period to the Citrine Global Group. Any iBOT securities of the Pre-Emption Right that Citrine Global Group elects to not purchase are to be sold by not later than 90 days following the end of the Citrine Global Group’s notice period and if such shares are not sold to such third party within the 90 day period, the Pre-Emption right shall apply to any subsequent proposed issuance. The preemption right does not apply to certain specified exceptions.

 

On August 20, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd., and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. incorporated Cannovation. Israeli Subsidiary holds 60% of Cannovation’s shares, while each of Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. holds 20% of its shares. See note 4 for additional information.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (cont.)

 

Stock split

 

On November 22, 2020, certain of the Company’s stockholders representing more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding share capital (the “Majority Consenting Stockholders”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment”) in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a range of between 40-to-1 and 100-to-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each forty or one hundred shares of common stock, as shall be determined by the Board at a later time, will be automatically converted, without any further action by the stockholders, into one share of common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder of the Company will be entitled to receive one share of common stock in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Majority Consenting Stockholders also approved the elimination of the Company’s entire authorized class of fifty million (50,000,000) undesignated preferred stock, thereby reducing the total number of shares of capital stock that the Company may issue from one billion five hundred fifty-thousand (1,550,000,000) shares to one billion five hundred thousand (1,500,000,000) shares, all of which are designated as common stock (the “Certificate of Elimination”). The Certificate of Elimination will be effective upon the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, which was not completed as of the date of this report’s filing. The Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment will be effective upon receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, both of which were not completed as of the date of the approval of the financial statements.

 

Financial support from shareholders

 

The Company has not yet to generate revenues and is dependent on raising funds from its current shareholders or from other sources. On April 13, 2021, Citrine S A L, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and related parties, has furnished the Company with an irrevocable letter of obligation to financially support the Company until June 30, 2022. On March 17, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd. extended this support through June 30, 2023.

 

The Company has no significant firm commitments that require it to remit cash, and can control the level of expenses it incurs. Based on the Company’s current cash balances, and the irrevocable letter of obligation from Citrine S A L noted above, the Company believes it has sufficient funds for its plans for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. As the Company is embarking on its new activity as detailed herein, it is incurring losses. It cannot determine with reasonable certainty when and if it will have sustainable profits.

 

COVID-19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) to be a global pandemic (COVID-19), which continues to spread throughout the world. The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. Specifically with respect to the Company, COVID-19 may impact various parts of its 2022 plans, operations and financial results, including but not limited to difficulties in obtaining additional financing. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company believes it is taking appropriate actions to mitigate the negative impact, including by focusing its activities initially only within the country of Israel. However, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated as these events are still developing.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include fair value estimates of derivative liabilities and assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

 

Fair value

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value, as defined by ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

 

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: (i) the market approach; (ii) the income approach; and (iii) the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

Fair value (cont.)

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

 

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), (ii) segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and (iii) a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of operations.

 

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The new standard was effective for us beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective as of March 31, 2022 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

 

  A. On January 5, 2022, Citrine 9 LP, one of the Buyer entities (hereinafter “Citrine 9”) agreed to honor a Draw Down Notice (as defined in the Convertible Note Agreement) for, and has advanced to the Company, $180 thousands on the same terms and conditions as are specified in the Convertible Note Agreement. The maturity date of the loan is the earlier of July 31, 2023 or at such time as the Company shall have consummated an investment of at least $5 million in Company securities. The annual interest on the loan continues to be nine percent (9%). The principal and interest payment on the Note shall be made in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) at the conversion rate which was in effect on the date on which the loan was advanced.

 

As provided for under the terms of the Convertible Note Agreement, Citrine 9 will be issued 6,666,667 Series A warrants and 6,666,667 Series B warrants for shares of common stock, where the Series A warrants are exercisable beginning July 5, 2022 through July 5, 2024 and the Series B warrants are exercisable beginning July 5, 2022 through July 5, 2025, in each case at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.

 

The Company allocated the proceeds received to the freestanding components – the convertible loan, A Warrants and B Warrants, based on their relative fair values, since all three components will not be subsequently measured at fair value (see below),

 

Conversion feature

 

In accordance with ASC 815-15-25 the conversion feature was considered a liability classified embedded derivative instrument, and is to be recorded at its fair value separately from the convertible notes, within non-current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The conversion component is then remeasured at fair value at each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.

 

The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by third party appraiser as weighted average of the two possible scenarios of the total convertible notes amount conversion (each, 50% probability):

 

The scenario in which the convertible loan would be converted prior to its maturity (scenario 1) was estimated by the appraiser using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, to compute the fair value of the derivative and to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The following are the data and assumptions used as of issuance dates and as of the balance sheet date:

 

   January 5, 2022   March 31, 2022 
Dividend yield (%)   0%   0%
Risk-free interest rate (%)   0.65%   1.85%
Expected term (years)   1.57    1.33 
Volatility   154.86%   158.60%
Share price (U.S. dollars)   0.025    0.022

NOTE 4 – EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD (cont.)

 

The scenario in which the Company would raise at least $5 million prior to conversion of the convertible loan (scenario 2) was estimated by the appraiser using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, to compute the fair value of the derivative and to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The following are the data and assumptions used as of issuance dates and as of the balance sheet date:

 

   January 5, 2022   March 31, 2022

The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by the third-party appraiser after giving effect to the weighted average of the two possible scenarios as of issuance dates was $41 thousands and as of March 31, 2022 was $35 thousands.

 

Warrants

 

The fair value of the warrants as of the drawdowns dates was estimated at $255 thousands using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is presented within the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity (deficit).

 

The following are the data and assumptions used:

 

Warrants A

NOTE 4 – EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD (cont.)

 

Fair Value Proportional Allocation

 

The fair value of the note was estimated at $154 thousands. The note is accounted for according to the effective interest method.

 

Based on the above, the fair value proportion allocation as of January 5, 2022 was as follows:

 

  

June 24, 2021

(US dollars in thousands)

 
Conversion Component  $48 
Warrants   100 
Convertible Notes   32 
Total  $180 

 

  B. Additionally, on January 5, 2022, the Company and the related entities who are the signatory lenders (hereinafter the “Buyers”) under the Convertible Loan Agreement dated as of April 1, 2020 (the “CL Agreement”) with the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the CL Agreement pursuant to which the following was agreed to:

 

  (i) The principal and accrued interest on all outstanding loans in the aggregate principal amount of $1,700,000 are to be repaid in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) at the conversion rate in effect on the date on which the loan was advanced;
  (ii) The conversion price on all outstanding notes under the CL Agreement was adjusted to a conversion price of $0.05 per share
  (iii) The exercise price on all outstanding warrants issued in connection with advances made under the CL Agreement was adjusted to an exercise price of $0.05 per share.

 

The Company concluded that the change in terms does not give rise to a trouble debt restructuring, as no concession was given to the Company.

 

Therefore, the Company went on to assess the whether the terms of the modified note are substantially different. The Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as a debt extinguishment.debt extinguishment.

 

Following the abovementioned amendment on January 5, 2022, the conversion component is qualifying for the scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a). In accordance with ASC 815-15-35-4, since the embedded conversion option in the convertible debt meets the bifurcation criteria, the fair value of the conversion component calculated as of January 5, 2022, in the amount of $162, was reclassified from shareholders equity to short-term liability at that date. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the convertible component was estimated at $361. Changes in fair value were recorded as interest expenses.

In accordance with ASC 815-15-25 the conversion feature was considered an embedded derivative instrument, and is to be recorded at its fair value separately from the convertible notes, within non-current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate, subject to certain conditions, the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, upon the closing of this offering, we will enter into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and named executive officers whereby we will agree to indemnify those directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests.

 

We also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

 

We have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and other persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or other person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

Set forth below is information regarding shares of common stock, convertible notes and warrants issued, and options granted, by us within the past three years that were not registered under the Securities Act. Also included is the consideration, if any, received by us for such shares, convertible notes, warrants and options, and information relating to the section of the Securities Act, or rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission, under which exemption from registration was claimed.

 

The following summarizes all sales of unregistered securities by us within the past three years:

The agreement under which the shares were issued provided for the issuance of 893,699,276 shares of common stock in total in consideration for $150,000, however, the Company was unable to complete the issuance of all these shares at that time because the Company did not have sufficient authorized capital to issue such shares of common stock. On November 12, 2020, the Company issued the remaining shares of common stock (i.e., 460,702,721 shares).

 

(iii) On March 5, 2020 the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock to its legal advisor for legal consulting services.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(a) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(b) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
