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
November 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. See Note 6B.
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 4C for additional information.

Stock
split
On
June 10, 2022, 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 50-to-1 and 700-to-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each fifty or seven
hundred shares of common stock (or any whole number within such range), 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. 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 and on November 14, 2022 Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd. further extended the support through June 30,
2024. On August 14, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd.
further extended this support through June 30, 2024.
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 September 30, 2022. 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.

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 nine months ended
September 30, 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.
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 adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04—Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50),
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, which
clarifies and reduces diversity in accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-written call options that remain
equity classified after modifications or exchanges based on the substance of the transactions. The amendments in this ASU are effective
for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The
adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Other
new pronouncements issued but not effective as of September 30, 2022 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE

agreements for selected service providers of Citrine Global, including our directors and officers, provide that the exercise price of
the options that were awarded to date, shall remain unaffected by the implementation of a reverse stock split that the Company may implement;
to avoid any doubt, such reverse stock split shall apply to the number of options shares issuable under such options. All other relevant
terms of such shall continue in full force and effect and are such reverse stock split. Any and all tax implications rest solely with

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.
See note 4F below for detailed regarding
change in terms of the Convertible Note Agreement, Series A warrants and Series B warrants.
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:

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 $1,800,000 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.
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 thousands, was reclassified from shareholders
equity to short-term liability at that date.

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. |

that oral cavity-related symptoms are linked to different factors, such as using medicines, treatments, aging, an unbalanced or unhealthy
lifestyle, various chronic diseases, psychological reasons, stress, and more12.
Our
patent application targets solutions for side effects and is in line with the Company’s strategy to bring to market a broad array
of plant-based wellness and pharma complementary solutions targeting to address selected side effects caused by using medicines, treatments,
