TECHCARE CORP.

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

 

TechCare Corp. (“Techcare” or the “Company”) (in process of name change to Citrine Global, Corp.) 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 “TECR.”

 

As reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors explored during 2019 strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value, which the Company had previously reported might include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, the sale of the Company, or a potential sale of certain assets, including the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Novomic Ltd. (“Novomic”), a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialization of a unique proprietary and patented delivery platform utilizing vaporization of various natural compounds for multiple health, beauty and wellness applications.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had incurred accumulated losses of approximately $10.6 million, and based on the projected cash flows and Company’s cash balance, the Company’s management was of the opinion that without further fundraising it would not have sufficient resources to enable it to continue advancing its activities, including the development, manufacturing, and marketing of its products, which cast substantial doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On November 21, 2019, in light of the above, and after the board of directors of the Company reached the conclusion that the Company would not be able to successfully commercialize any products or secure sufficient financing, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd., which provided for the issuance and sale of a number of shares resulting in Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd and/or its designee(s) holding 95% of the fully diluted capital stock of the Company, and the sale by the Company of 90% of its shares in Novomic.

 

On January 6, 2020, definitive agreements were executed for the sale of 90% of the shares in Novomic to Traistman Radziejewski Fundacja Ltd., which was completed on May 14, 2020, 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 Investment & Holdings Ltd. and a group of related persons and entities (the “TechCare Transaction”). Traistman Radziejewski Fundacja Ltd. is controlled by Oren Traistman, which is one of the Company’s beneficial shareholders and was a director of the Company until February 27, 2020. See additional information in Note 4 below.

 

On February 23, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement amending and restating the January 6, 2020 agreement concerning the TechCare Transaction, which provided for the issuance and sale of the shares in stages. Pursuant to this agreement, on February 27, 2020 and March 5, 2020, 432,996,555 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd and its group of related persons and entities, resulting in a change of control of the Company. The amended and restated agreement provided for the issuance of 893,699,276 shares of common stock in total in consideration for $150 thousand, however the Company was unable to complete the issuance of all these shares at that time because the Company was authorized under its certificate of incorporation to issue only up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended on May 14, 2020, increasing its authorized share capital by one billion shares of common stock, after it filed an information statement on Form 14C.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company received approximately $150 thousand out of $150 thousand mentioned above. Out of such amount of $150 thousand, an amount of approximately $105 thousand is presented as a current lability within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, as the shares related to this amount were not issued yet, and legally can be called back by the investors.

 

Until May 14, 2020, the date on which the sale of 90% of Novomic’s shares was completed (see Note 4 below), the Company continued selling the Novokid® product produced by Novomic both through online and physical sales channels, including through its own website. Novomic was not presented as held for sale, although the held-for-sale criteria were met, because the Company concluded that the disposal of 90% of Novomic’s shares is comprised of substantially almost all of the Company’s net assets and operations and since the separate presentation of such a significant portion of the entity’s net assets as a single line item on the balance sheet would not be meaningful to financial statement users.

Also, starting Q1 2020, the Company began its plans for a new business activity. The Company’s new business activity comprises creating value and implementing expansion strategies for growth-stage technology companies. The Company believes the health, wellness, food tech and Israeli medical cannabis fields are demonstrating high growth potential, and, therefore, the Company has begun by focusing on these sectors. The Company aims to empower innovative companies to become global leaders and improve the health and quality of life of as many people as possible worldwide. The Company aims to support local and global expansion of such target companies via an array of services customized to each company’s needs, from assistance with strategic business planning to solving real estate-related and finance issues. The Company plans to offer multi-strategy solutions combining strategic marketing, business development, real estate and site management services and financing solutions. By offering such a wide spectrum of services, the Company aims to help create an integrated strategy that supports its target companies in achieving their local and global expansion ambitions. The Company seeks to work proactively and collaboratively with the target companies in order to allow them to scale quickly and achieve their milestones.

 

As part of this process, the Company established a new Israeli subsidiary CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd, which was incorporated on June 3, 2020 (the “Israeli Subsidiary”).

 

Based on the Company’s current cash balances, capital raised in the second quarter of 2020 and the irrevocable letter it has received (as noted below), the Company has sufficient funds for its plans for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Currently, as the Company is embarking on its new activity as detailed herein, it is incurring losses and cannot determine with reasonable certainty when and if it will have sustainable profits.

 

Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd., 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 December 31, 2021 that will allow it to be operational as planned and budgeted through this period.

 

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. Specific to the Company, COVID-19 may impact various parts of its 2020 plans, operations and financial results including but not limited to difficulties in obtaining additional financing. 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 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 for six-months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

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 unaudited interim 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 filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2019

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TechCare, and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include fair value estimates of derivative liabilities discussed in Notes 5 and 8, as well as the estimated service period related to share based payment to the Company’s legal advisor (refer to Note 6). Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions.

 

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”).

 

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at actual exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in equity, under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions of monetary balances denominated in non-functional currencies are reflected in financial income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Other financial expenses (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss comprised mainly of exchange rate differentials.

 

Investments valued under the measurement alternative

 

The Company’s investments as described in Notes 3 and 4 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. 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.

 

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 income.

 

 10 
 

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities 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.

 

Fair value

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” 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 in 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: the market approach; the income approach; and 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), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

 

 11 
 

 

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:

 

   Balance as of June 30, 2020 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
   (U.S. dollars in thousands) 
Liabilities:                    
Fair value of convertible component in convertible notes (Note 5)   -    -    285,028    285,028 
Fair Value of forward option (Note 8)   -    -    65,580    65,580 
Total liabilities   -    -    350,608    350,608 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology. Under the new guidance, on initial recognition and at each reporting period, an entity is required to recognize an allowance that reflects its current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

 

The guidance became effective on January 1, 2020, including interim periods within that year and requires a modified retrospective transition approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Under the modified retrospective method of adoption, prior year reported results are not restated. The Company has performed its analysis of the impact on its financial instruments that are within the scope of this guidance and has concluded that there was no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement as part of the FASB’s broader disclosure framework project. ASU No. 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosures providing greater focus on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to the users of the financial statements with respect to fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020 did not 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 $450,000 for A-1 preferred shares of Nanomedic and also received warrants for 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 Investment & Holdings Ltd 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.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On April 1, 2020 the Company entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “CL Agreement”) with Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd, WealthStone Private Equity Ltd, WealthStone Holdings Ltd, Golden Holdings Neto Ltd, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd, Citrine Biotech 5 LP, Citrine High Tech 6 LP, Citrine High Tech 7 LP, Citrine 8 LP, Citrine 9 LP and Citrine Biotech 10 LP (together, the “Buyer”), all of which are affiliated with the Company. Under the CL Agreement, the Buyer agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to issue and sell, for up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,800 thousand, notes convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (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 CL Agreement provides that the Notes will bear an annual interest rate of six percent (6%) and that the conversion price per share of Common Stock shall equal 85% multiplied by the market price (as defined in the Notes), representing a discount of 15%, and that each Note will mature 18 months following the payment date.

 

On April 19, 2020 and June 12, 2020, the Company provided draw down notices under the CL Agreement for amounts of $170,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, which were received in cash by the Company.

 

 13 
 

 

On June 12, 2020, the CL Agreement (hereafter “CL Agreement amendment”) was amended 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 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 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.

 

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.

 

The fair value of the conversion feature (hereafter “Convertible Component”) was estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model to compute the Convertible Component’s fair value of $285,028 and derived service period of 1.5 years. The assumptions used to perform the Monte-Carlo simulation were consistent with those utilized in the Company’s Black-Scholes valuation for stock options, specifically: expected volatility of 65.69%, risk-free interest rate of return of 0.18% and dividend yield of 0.0%.

 

Warrants

 

As mentioned above, as part of the June 12, 2020 CL Agreement amendment, the Company issued the Buyer 5,589,172 A warrants and 5,589,172 B warrants to purchase a total of 11,178,344 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The fair value of such warrants as of the drawdowns dates was estimated at $301,665 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is presented in shareholders equity within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The following are the data and assumptions used as of the balance sheet date:

 

Warrants A  June 30, 2020 
Common stock price   0.21 
Expected volatility   65.31%
Expected term   1 years 
Risk free rate   0.17%

Common stock price   0.21 
Expected volatility   68.73%
Expected term   2 years 
Risk free rate   0.19%
Expected dividend yield   0%

  

Convertible Notes

 

The drawdowns notices amount, net of the Conversion feature and the Warrants amounts (hereafter “Convertible notes”), is $580,925. The convertible is accounted for based on the effective interest method.

The financing will bear 6% annual interest and Intelicanna will make additional payments equaling 6% of its gross revenues between the date the financing is received and the date Intelicanna’s aggregate gross revenues thereafter equal NIS 2 million. If the total of the 6% interest plus the additional payments would result in a return of less than 12% in the year to the Company, the interest will 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 divided by the lower of (i) 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. The financing must be paid by the Company to Intelicanna within 30 days of signing the financing agreement, subject to completion of due diligence to the Company’s satisfaction and to Intelicanna receiving a commercial growing license.

Health and Wellness Market – Overview:

 

The health and wellness industry is growing consistently and rapidly on a global scale, consisting of over 10% of the global GDP. Health and wellbeing tops consumer agendas creating addressable target markets of trillions of dollars.1 The digital health market is projected to reach over $500 billion at a CAGR of nearly 30% by 2025, the biotech market is expected to reach $775 billion by 2024, and the wellness market is estimated at $4,500 billion.2

The wellness industry is defined as products and solutions that enable people to incorporate wellness activities and lifestyles into their daily life.

 

The industry is divided into the following main categories:

 

● therapeutics

● pharmaceuticals

● biologics

● botanicals

 

Improvements in health technology and scientific breakthrough innovations are changing treatment paradigms towards directions of:

 

● preventative

● diagnostic

● holistic patient care

 

Democratized knowledge is driving demand for innovative health and wellness products and services across all demographics and geographies.

 

Changing consumer behavior and disruptive technologies are enabling the rapid consumerization and personalization of healthcare.

 

There is an evolution from prescription drugs, doctor-administered diagnostics and medical treatments to a new marketplace centered around the well-being of people as individuals not patients, enabling and improving ‘quality of life’ in ways which can be seamlessly integrated into their daily routines.

 

For these reasons we decided to place our focus on personalized health and wellness.

 

Many of these innovations are being driven by a new generation of venture-backed, more consumer-orientated companies, often underserved by the traditional medical and pharma VC marketplace. There are also pronounced market asymmetries between the sources of some of the most important wellness innovations in parts of Europe and Israel and the large consumer-driven marketplaces for these innovations globally.

In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) causing respiratory illness emerged in the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province of China, and in January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency. The COVID-19 has spread to many countries and is impacting the markets globally. Many countries, states and municipalities have enacted quarantining regulations which severely limit the ability of people to move and travel, and require non-essential businesses and organizations to close their physical offices. The situation created by COVID-19 worldwide has made it difficult and even impossible to meet with different investors, parties and partners. The Company managed to adapt to the situation and built an alternative plan in a short time. Since it was difficult and even impossible to travel specifically to New York and Europe, and since the Company directors and executives are based in Israel, the Company took the decision to focus on Israel as first step, via its fully-owned subsidiary CTGL - CITRINE GLOBAL ISRAEL LTD (company number 516201159) which was incorporated on June 3, 2020.

 

CGTL - Citrine Global Israel Ltd

 

CGTL - Citrine Global Israel Ltd, which is wholly owned by the Company, targets Israeli startups and technology companies, and in particular public companies, in the fields of healthcare, wellness, foodtech and medical cannabis.

 

About Israel - the “Startup Nation” 4:

 

● Israel has earned the nickname “Startup Nation” for a very good reason: with a population of around 8.5 million, it has the largest number of startups per capita in the world, around one startup per 1,400 people. This phenomenon has caught the eyes of companies with global reach and global aspirations.

● The hi-tech ecosystem in Israel is currently focusing its attention on research and development in the areas of healthcare and biotech, including solutions for COVID-19 and the medical cannabis plant for medical purposes.

● Israel is known for its academic research yielding world renowned innovations and Nobel prize winners.

● In addition, the government recognizes the role of the high-tech industry as a main economic catalyst and supports innovations via funding and other models.

● Israel, as small as it may be, has attracted the interest of the world’s major technology companies, some of which have set up R&D centres in Israel.

Medical cannabis in Israel:

 

● The State of Israel is currently focusing its attention on research and development on the cannabis plant for medical purposes.

● Research into the cannabis plant began in Israel in the 1960s, when Prof. Rafael Meshulam first discovered the main components of the cannabis plant, a discovery that was a world breakthrough in the study of the plant at the time.

● Research into the cannabis plant in Israel has continued ever since, in academic and research institutions. In recent years, many studies have been conducted in the field of medical cannabis in Israel. Israel is considered a world center in the field of cannabis research and treatment.

 

● The cannabis plant is still not permitted for research in the USA, is still restricted under US federal law, and is only recently increasingly studied in European countries.

● As a result, Israel has an advantage in the field, relative to the rest of the world, and in academic knowledge on the medical potential of the cannabis plant in treating diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, and childhood autism.

● The world’s major drug companies have already begun to express an interest in Israeli research, as well as the big challenge involved in registering patents and intellectual property for drugs using the cannabis plant, which is a complex plant with hundreds of active ingredients.

● Around 100 cannabis–related startups are currently operating in Israel.

 

Medical Cannabis Global Market Size:

 

● In the world, there are over 40 countries that allow legal use of medical cannabis and the medical cannabis industry is also expanding to the wellness and medical foods sectors with cannabis incorporated into a variety of edibles, pills, spray products, transdermal patches, supplements, salves, ointments and lotions.

● Legal medical cannabis products sales grew 45.7% to $14.9 billion in 2019. This worldwide growth estimate reflects the highest annual growth rate to date. As a result of expected growth ArcView Group has updated their 2024 forecast to $42.7 billion in worldwide legal cannabis sales. 7

● In addition, we see the emergence of the cannabis-enhanced health edibles and drinks market, that is expected to continuously grow by more than 250% by 2021. 8

 

Facilities and real estate services for the health and medical cannabis industry:

 

● The healthcare and medical cannabis industry creates attractive opportunities to invest in the industrial real estate sector with a focus on regulated medical-use cannabis facilities.

● Healthcare and medical cannabis companies specifically need infrastructure and assets that are licensed and guarded according to various regulations, involve long-term rentals, and more.

● CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd has built a model adapted to these companies’ needs, covering innovation centers, laboratories, pharmacies, and clinics. The Cannovation Center is an application of this model.

 

Cannovation Center – a center for cannabis innovation in Israel.

 

The “Cannovation Center” - Cannabis Innovation Center - in Israel, referred to in Note 10 above, is being designed to address the needs of the emerging cannabis, CBD and hemp industry. It is intended that the Cannovation Center, when built, will demonstrate a unique model of an all-in-one platform including factories for producing cannabis, hemp and CBD products, laboratories, and a logistics and distribution center. It is intended that it will support the cannabis eco-system including cannabis growers, cannabis product developers, researchers and other cannabis businesses, which operate in a field that requires interdisciplinary professional expertise, compliance with a wide set of regulatory demands including IMC-GMP production standards, 24/7 surveillance and security, special recycling procedures, and more.

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

We generated $11 thousand in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $85 thousand in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in the demand for Novomic products and our failure to obtain FDA approval for Novomic products or enter into additional engagements with distributers, and also to us selling 90% of our shares in Novomic and focusing on our new business activity.

 

Gross Profit

 

We incurred a gross loss during the six months ended June 30, 2020, of $2 thousand, compared to $33 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $18 thousand as compared to $80 thousand, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to decrease in expenses related to the Novomic products as a result of the conclusion of our board of directors that the Company would not be able to successfully commercialize the Novomic products.

 

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our marketing, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $1,757 thousand as compare to $811 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2019 The increase in our marketing, general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to the increase in our share based compensation expenses somewhat offset by a decrease in marketing expenses and professional services as a result of the conclusion of our board of directors that the Company would not be able to successfully commercialize the Novomic products.

 

Net Loss

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 we incurred a net loss of $1,786 thousand. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $937 thousand. The increase in net loss is mainly attributable to the share based compensation expenses as described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 reflects total assets of $4,476 thousand, consisting mainly of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $580 thousand, prepaid share based payment and other current assets of approximately $3,445 thousand and investments valued under the measurement alternative of approximately $450 thousand. As of December 31, 2019, our balance sheet reflects total assets of approximately $257 thousand consisting mainly of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $18 thousand, inventory in the amount of approximately $35 thousand, other receivables of approximately $19 thousand and property and equipment net, of approximately $156 thousand.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had total current liabilities of approximately $630 thousand, consisting mainly of accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $175 thousand, commitment to issue shares of approximately $105 thousand, fair value of shares exchange agreement of approximately $66 thousand and fair value of convertible component in convertible loan of approximately $285 thousand. As of December 31, 2019, we had total current liabilities of approximately $360 thousand consisting mainly of accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $224 thousand and a note payable of approximately $123 thousand.

Our total liabilities as of June 30, 2020 were approximately $1,211 thousand, compared to approximately $368 thousand at December 31, 2019.

 

 28 
 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used approximately $473 thousand of cash in our operating activities. This resulted mainly from an overall net loss of approximately $1,786 thousand, net of an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $1,340 thousand, fair value adjustment of liability in connection with stock exchange agreement of approximately $66 thousand.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used approximately $690 thousand of cash in our operating activities. This resulted mainly from an overall net loss of approximately $937 thousand, management fee waiver of approximately $145, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $75 thousand and an increase in other current assets of approximately $132 thousand.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used approximately $464 thousand of cash in our investing activities. This resulted mainly from subsidiary no longer consolidated of approximately $14 thousand and an investment accounted under the measurement alternative of $450 thousand, as compared to approximately $4 thousand in the same period in the prior year.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we provided approximately $1,501 thousand of cash by our financing activities. This resulted mainly from the issued convertible notes and warrants of approximately $1,170 thousand and a commitment to issue shares to related parties of approximately $105 thousand and an issuance of common stock of approximately $72 thousand and loans from related parties of approximately $154 thousand, as compared to approximately $457 thousand in the same period in the prior year.

 

The Company has a history of accumulated losses and its development and execution of its strategy is still uncertain. However, based on the Company’s current cash balances, capital raised in the second quarter of 2020 and the irrevocable letter it has received (as noted above), the Company has sufficient funds for its plans for continuing its new activity in the next twelve months from the issuance of this Form 10Q.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Because it is a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and the Company’s principal financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based on the Company’s evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, the Company’s principal executive officer and the Company’s principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chairperson and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 29 
 

 

Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2020 as it identified control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are described below:

 

(i) Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and

(ii) Ineffective controls over period-end financial reporting and disclosure processes.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The Company’s management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary.

 

Management believes that despite the material weaknesses set forth above, the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month period ended June 30, 2020 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

We have a limited operating history in our new activity.

 

Following the change of control of the Company in February 2020 the new management embarked on a new primary business activity Our new operations will be subject to many of the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history in a new activity. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitable operations. 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 may need additional capital to fund our operations.

 

We have ambitious goals and we may require additional capital to fund expansion of our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital. If we are able to raise additional capital, we do not know what the terms of any such capital raises would be, and whether they will be on terms acceptable to us. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of our current stockholders.

 

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 Chairperson. The loss of Ms. Meir Soffer could have a material adverse effect upon our business prospects. Moreover, our success also depends on our ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel, including officers, directors, advisors, consultants, third party contractors and other partners, to assist with the execution of our business plans. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, attracting and retaining such personnel in the future. The failure to succeed in these endeavors would have a material adverse effect on our ability to consummate our business plans.

 

We rely on knowledge and experience of our primary shareholders.

 

We rely on our access to knowledge and experience of our primary shareholders, including Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd, the Wealthstone Group and the Neto Group. If such access is reduced or lost, we may not be able to successfully execute our growth strategies, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We are exposed to risks relating to equity securities of other companies in which we invest.

 

We are not primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged in those activities; however, the Company has acquired or is in the process of acquiring securities of certain publicly traded and privately held companies. These investments carry risk of partial or total loss, as with any such investment of this kind. We generally monitor the Company’s investments to keep abreast of the investments and positions, but do not portend to actively trade in these securities and we do not have broker-dealers daily monitoring our investments to take positions in the event of market swings or fluctuations, whether on the upside or downside; hence, these investments bear certain risks of loss or failure to attain maximum gain.

 

We may be classified as an inadvertent investment company.

 

We are not primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged in those activities. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), however, a company may be deemed an investment company under section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act if the value of its investment securities is more than 40% of its total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on a consolidated basis. The Company currently falls below this threshhold but anticipates making a limited number of further investments in future. An inadvertent investment company can avoid being classified as an investment company if it can rely on one of the exclusions under the 1940 Act. One such exclusion, Rule 3a-2 under the 1940 Act, allows an inadvertent investment company a grace period of one year from the earlier of (a) the date on which an issuer owns securities and/or cash having a value exceeding 50% of the issuer’s total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis and (b) the date on which an issuer owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Classification as an investment company under the 1940 Act requires registration with the SEC. If an investment company fails to register, it would have to stop doing almost all business, and its contracts would become voidable. Registration is time consuming and restrictive and would require a restructuring of our operations, and we would be very constrained in the kind of business we could do as a registered investment company. Further, we would become subject to substantial regulation concerning management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons and portfolio composition, and would need to file reports under the 1940 Act regime. The cost of such compliance would result in the Company incurring substantial additional expenses and could result in the complete cessation of our operations, and the failure to register if required would have a materially adverse impact on our ability to conduct our operations.

 

Trading in our common stock has been limited. Purchasers of our common stock may be unable to sell their shares.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB, however trading has been limited. We currently do not meet the initial listing criteria for any major registered securities exchange, including the Nasdaq Stock Market. The OTCQB is a less-recognized market than the foregoing exchanges and is often characterized by low trading volume and significant price fluctuations. These and other factors may impair our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares when they want to and/or could depress our stock price.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

The Company was recently informed by Yaron Pitaru, co-founder of the WealthStone Group and a beneficial shareholder of the Company, that he is involved in a dispute with a third party unconnected with the Company regarding the ownership of certain shareholdings. The Company is still reviewing information provided to it by Mr. Pitaru, and will continue to monitor the situation. Based on information reviewed to date, the Company believes the likelihood of this matter materially affecting the Company’s business, or of the Company becoming involved in any legal proceedings in connection with this matter, is low.
