On June 10, 2022, certain of the Company’s stockholders representing more than 50%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”)..

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. On August 14, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd. further extended this support through October 31, 2023.June 30, 2024.

In addition, on March 6, 2023 Cannovation and S.R. Accord Ltd., an Israeli company (“Lender”), entered into an 18-month credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to which Lender has committed to fund Cannovation in an aggregate amount of 3,000,000 NIS (approximately $857,000), as needed. At the time of each draw down, Cannovation and Lender will determine the maturity date of the loan. All amounts drawn under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an monthly rate of 1.7%. Cannovation has the right to pre-pay the entire amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at any time. As security for any loans under the Credit Facility, Cannovation granted the Lender a first priority lien on its rights to the 125,000 sq ft (11,687 sq meters) of industrial land in Yerucham. The lien will become effective only if Cannovation utilizes the Credit Facility. If the market value of the Premises is less than the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility, then Lender will be entitled to additional security including additional shares of Citrine Global common stock, on such terms and conditions as the parties may agree. As additional security for any payments due to Lender, (i) the Israeli Subsidiary, (ii) Beezzhome and (iii) Netto Holdings, an unaffiliated entity under the partial control of Ilan Ben Ishay, a director on the board of Cannovation, as well as each of Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Ben Ishay have, in their personal capacities, provided guarantees for the repayment of any amounts that may be owing to Lender under the Credit Facility. The Company, CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and Cannovation have agreed to indemnify Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Ben Ishay for any losses they incur as a result of the personal guarantees.

On March 7, 2023, the Company issued to the Lender and a consultant 3,232,016 shares of the Company’s common stock as a commitment fee in respect of the provision of the Credit Facility (valuated at $123 thousand). As of the date of this report, Cannovation utilized $51,000 of the credit line.

 

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 Laccess to the Credit Facility noted above, management believes the Company believes it haswill have 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,business plan, 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 June 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.

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 sixthree months ended June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023.

 

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.

2022.

 

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.

Fair value (cont.)

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.

Credit line issuance costs

Costs associated with entering into a revolving line of credit or revolving-debt arrangement are costs incurred in exchange for access to capital. These fees are paid regardless of whether the funds are ever drawn down. Such costs are recorded as such on the balance sheet as prepaid expenses. Upon drawing down a portion of the credit line, the applicable portion of the costs related to that draw down is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt when drawn and amortized as finance expenses using the effective interest method.

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 newNew pronouncements issued but not effective as of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – STOCK OPTIONS

On March 5, 2023, the Board of the Company determined that in the event that the Company’s stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then one half of the awarded but unvested option grants made in each of August 2021 and in August 2022, including to officers, directors, will immediately vest at such time.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT VALUED UNDER THE MEASUREMENT ALTERNATIVE (continue)

The transactions under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement are based on a MyPlant company valuation of approximately $4.45 million. The Company is authorized at any time on or before the Option Expiry Date to obtain an independent third-party valuation of MyPlant. If it is determined by such third party valuation that the MyPlant valuation is less than $4.45 million then the consideration payable in respect of the exercise price of the options will be accordingly adjusted, provided however that in any case MyPlant’s valuation in the transaction shall not be below US$1,000,000.

The options to purchase MyPlant shares were also accounted using the measurement alternative. Since the options’ value are subject to the changes in Citrine shares’ value, there are indicators to a change in the options’ value at each reporting date, and therefore the following valuation methos was implemented.

Fair Value Proportional Allocation

The Company estimated the fair value of Shareholders Option using the Monte Carlo option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF CONVERTIBLE FEATURE USING VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

  December 30, 2022  March 31, 2023

MyPlant share price (U.S. dollars)  10.04   10.04 
MyPlant volatility  55.29%  67.55%

The fair value of the Shareholders Option as of December 8, 2022 and March 31, 2023 was estimated at $291 thousands and $300 thousands, respectively.

Based on the above, the fair value proportion allocation as of December 30, 2022 was as follows:

In addition, under the Agreement the Company and the Lending LPs have also agreed that if the Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine to convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding amount of the above mentioned notes to shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the price paid by the public investors for the common stock in the offering accompanying the listing.

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

Therefore, the Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as a modification. A new effective interest rate was established based on the carrying value of the debt and the revised cash flows.

On September 30, 2022, the Company received a loan from Citrine S A L Hi Tech 7 LP, an Israeli limited partnership and an affiliated entity, in the principal amount of $80,000. The loan bear interest at 12% per annum and was originally scheduled to mature on December 15, 2022, but the maturity date of the loan is the earlier of Julywas extended to May 31, 20232024 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 shallloan are to be made in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) at the conversionexchange rate which was in effect on the date on which the loan was advanced.

 

B.On January 30, 2023 Citrine S A L Hi Tech 7 LP agreed to change the terms of this loan, which amounted to $83,000 (including accrued interest) such that such terms shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis, to those terms applicable to the Company’s convertible notes then outstanding under the Convertible Note Agreement (as detailed in note 5 A above).

As provided for under the terms of the Convertible Note Agreement, Citrine 97 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, 2024andthe Series B warrants are exercisable beginning July 5, 2022 through July 5, 2025, in each caseAugust 9, 2027 at an exercise price of $0.05per share.

Thereafter, the freestanding components –Company applied the convertible loan, A Warrantsguidance in ASC 470-50, Modifications and B Warrants, based on their relative fair values, since all three components will not be subsequently measuredExtinguishments. The accounting treatment is determined by whether terms of the new debt and original debt are substantially different.

Since the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt was derecognized and the new debt was recorded at fair value, (see below)with the difference recognized as an extinguishment loss.

The extinguishment resulted in a loss of $266 thousands, included in the statements of operations as “Expenses related to convertible loan terms”.

The components of the new loan were valuated as follows:

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.

Treatment of side-effects, or adverse drug reactions, has become a healthcare concern12. 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 globe13.

We believe that 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 state14.

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.

Our Plant-based product lines categories:

We have more than 100 formulations & products under the brand names of GreenFeels™ and Green Side by Side™ product lines that include wellness plant-based products and nutritional supplements for improving quality of life and complementary products for balancing selected side effects caused by medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle.
