TechCare Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
September 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Nature of operations
TechCare Corp. (“Techcare” or the “Company”), formally known as BreedIT Corp. (“BreedIt”) 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”.
On February 8, 2016, the Company signed a Merger Agreement with Novomic Ltd. (“Novomic”), a private company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. The closing of the Merger took place on August 9, 2016 pursuant to which Novomic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was structured as a reverse Merger.
Novomic was incorporated as a private company in Israel in 2009. Since inception, Novomic has been a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialization of a unique delivery platform utilizing vaporization of various natural compounds for multiple health, beauty and wellness applications. Novomic’s delivery platform is proprietary and patented.
Novomic’s first product is Novokid® - an innovative home use device which vaporizes a natural, plant-based, pesticides and silicone-free compound that effectively treats head lice and eggs. The Novokid® kit includes a vaporizer, treatment capsules and treatment cap alongside ancillary components. Novokid® is currently being sold in Israel and the Netherlands.
Novomic is currently working on the research and development of future product offerings for its delivery platform, including Shine, a revolutionary cosmetic device for the treatment and rejuvenation of the hair and scalp.
Going Concern
During the nine months period ended September 30, 2018, the Company had a comprehensive loss of approximately $1.5 million. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had accumulated losses of approximately $8 million.
Based on the projected cash flows and Company’s cash balances as of September 30, 2018, Company’s management is of the opinion that without further fund raising it will not have sufficient resources to enable it to continue advancing its activities including the development, manufacturing and marketing of its products for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans include the continued commercialization of the products, continue taking cost reduction steps and securing sufficient financing through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. There are no assurances however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for its operations. If the Company is unsuccessful in commercializing its products and securing sufficient financing, it may need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

B. Summary of significant accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and condensed footnotes have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for fair statement of results for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the nine and the three months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year or for other interim periods or for future years. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 is derived from audited financial statements as of that date; however, it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TechCare, and its subsidiary, Novomic. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard related to the recognition of revenue in contracts with customers. Since the Company had no revenues prior to January 1, 2018, the new standard had no impact on revenues and results of operations for prior periods.
The Company derives revenues from sales of its product Novokid directly or indirectly through its distributors in the Netherlands and in Israel.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer. | |
● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. | |
● | Determination of the transaction price. | |
● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
● | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the end customer or to the distributor.The Company also considers products that might be returned mostly based on the terms stipulated in the agreements with its distributors.The Company recognize the amount received or receivable that is expected to be returned as a refund liability,representing its obligation to return the clients’ consideration.
The Company reports revenue net of any revenue based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions.
Revenue from products are recognized when the customer or the distributor has obtained control of the goods (for the Company’s current arrangements, this is at the point in time) based on the shipping terms. The Company recognizes revenue on sales to distributors upon shipment of the goods, when the distributor has economic substance apart from the Company and the distributor is considered the principal for the transaction with the end-user client.

NOTE 2: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Current Period
In May 2014, and in following related amendments, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a new comprehensive revenue recognition guidance on revenue from contracts with customers ( the “Standard”) that will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance. The Standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the Standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, which resulted in no impact on its consolidated financial statements since the Company had no revenues prior to 2018.
In January 2016, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (an “ASU”) which changes to the current measurement model primarily affects all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting), financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the new ASU equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) with readily determinable fair values will be measured at fair value through earnings. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values may be measured at fair value or at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, which resulted in no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which requires entities to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, which resulted in no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued an ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which previously included share-based payments to employees only) to include share based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, with certain exceptions. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. ASU 2018-07 supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, and is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 commencing July 1, 2018, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new ASU which revises lease accounting guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease. The liability and the right-of-use asset arising from the lease will be measured as the present value of the lease payments. In addition, this guidance requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The new standard is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach, with certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: RESTATEMENT OF 2017 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, during the preparation of the 2017 annual financial statements, the Company became aware of misstatements in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the six months ended June 30, 2017, and the nine months ended September 30, 2017, that were included in each of the Company’s 2017 Form 10-Qs. The misstatement stemmed from an erroneous recording of additional stock compensation expense of $943,901 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to certain fully vested awards that were granted in December 31, 2016, and were properly fully expensed in 2016. As a result, the Company’s previously reported net loss for each of the three aforementioned periods in 2017 was overstated by this amount. The Board of Directors and the Company concluded that due to this error the condensed consolidated financial statements for each of these periods was materially misstated and should be restated (the Restatement).
The Restatement also corrects certain other misstatements during the 2017 interim periods, including (i) an error related to the accounting for advances to suppliers that were previously expensed that impacted the quarters ended June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017, and (ii) errors in the classification of certain expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss which impacts classification only and does not impact the total net loss or comprehensive loss reported for any of the periods.
The Restatement does not result in a change to the Company’s previously reported total amounts of net cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, or financing activities. There was no impact to net change in cash and cash equivalents for any previously reported periods. Certain corrections of classifications within the operating cash flow section were impacted by the Restatement.

NOTE 4: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

i) | 77,519 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $0.387 for a total consideration of $30,000, and warrants to purchase up to 50,000 stock with an exercise price of $0.6, exercisable until August 21, 2019. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had not yet received the investment proceeds and therefore had not issued the shares of common stock for such investment. |
Stock-Based Compensation to employees and directors
Stock based awards are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with ASC 718, Shared Based Payment. The Company’s primary type of stock-based compensation consists of stock options to directors, employees and officers. The Company uses Black-Scholes option pricing model in valuing options.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company had not granted any options to employees and directors.
During March 2017, the Company granted to certain employees options to purchase 869,596 of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $0.0001. The options granted were fully vested on the date of the grant and exercisable into the Company’s common stock at a 1:1 ratio for 2.5 years from the date of the grant.
The following assumptions were applied in determining the options’ fair value on their grant date:
Risk-free interest rate | 1.54 | % | ||
Expected shares price volatility | 70 | % | ||
Expected option term (years) | 2.5-5 | |||
Dividend yield | - |
The Company based the risk-free interest rate on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The expected term in years represents the period of time that the awards granted are expected to be outstanding. The assumption for dividend yield is zero because the Company has not historically paid dividends nor does it expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The volatility was based on the historical stock volatility of several peer companies, as the Company has limited trading history to use the volatility of its own common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation to non-employees – Options and Warrants
The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 commencing July 1, 2018, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2018-07 stock options issued to consultants and other non-employees, as compensation for services provided to the Company, were accounted for based upon the fair value of the options. The fair value of the options granted were measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period and were recognized over the related service period using the straight line method. After the adoption of ASU 2018-07, the measurement date for non-employee awards is the date of the grant. The compensation expense for non-employees is recognized, without changes in the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period of the respective award.
In the second quarter of 2018, as part of consulting agreements, the Company granted options to non-employees, as follows:
1) | 83,393 options exercisable to purchase 83,393 shares of common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per option. The options will be vested in accordance with the following vesting periods: 25% of the options will be exercisable on December 1, 2018, and the remaining 75% will be considered exercisable at the end of each subsequent three-month period thereafter, over the course of 12 quarters. | |
2) | 83,393 options to a related party exercisable to purchase 83,393 shares of common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per option. The options will be vested in accordance with the following vesting periods: 25% of the options will be exercisable on January 1, 2019, and the remaining 75% will be considered exercisable at the end of each subsequent three-month period thereafter, over the course of 12 quarters. | |
3) | 436,349 options to a related party exercisable to purchase 436,349 shares of common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.387 per option. The options will be vested in accordance with the following vesting periods: 33.33% of the options will be exercisable on January 1, 2019, and the remaining 66.67% will be considered exercisable at the end of each subsequent three-month period thereafter, over the course of 8 quarters. |
The following assumptions were applied in determining the options’ fair value on their grant date:
Risk-free interest rate | 2.65%-2.85 | % | ||
Expected shares price volatility | 70 | % | ||
Expected option term (years) | 5 | |||
Dividend yield | - |
14 |
The Company based the risk-free interest rate on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The expected term in years represents the period of time that the awards granted are expected to be outstanding. The assumption for dividend yield is zero because the Company has not historically paid dividends nor does it expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The volatility was based on the historical stock volatility of several peer companies, as the Company has limited trading history to use the volatility of its own common stock.
During January 2017, as part of a consulting agreement, the Company granted to a non-employee warrants exercisable to purchase 100,000 of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per warrant exercisable for a period of 24 months commencing on the date of the agreement, fully vested on the date of the grant.
During March 2017, the Company granted to a non-employee options to purchase 521,065 of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $0.0001. The options granted were fully vested on the date of the grant and exercisable into the Company’s common stock at a 1:1 ratio for 5 years from the date of the grant.
The following assumptions were applied in determining the options’ fair value on their grant date:
Risk-free interest rate | 1.54 | % | ||
Expected shares price volatility | 70 | % | ||
Expected option term (years) | 2-5 | |||

The OEM Distributor will be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining the approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and shall bear all costs related to such approval. The Company, through its OEM Distributor, has been communicating with the FDA regarding Novokid’s designation as a medical device. An Application to the FDA Office of Combination (OCP division) is under preparation.
As of the date of these financial statements, an FDA approval was not obtained, hence, the Company did not generate any revenues from the OEM agreement.

As part of the OEM Agreement, the OEM Distributor paid a royalty advance of $10,000 and also an amount of $140,000 which is held in an escrow account, until the Company completes certain milestones, as described in the OEM Agreement. As of September 30, 2018, the milestones have not been achieved.
Also, as part of the OEM Agreement, the Company granted the OEM Distributor an option to purchase up to 9.09% of the Company’s common stock for a total consideration of up to $900,000,exercisable until January 15, 2018.
The fair value of the option as of June 23, 2017 (initial recognition) amounted to $432,518.The key assumptions used in the options’ valuation was as follows:
Risk-free interest rate | 1.14 | % | ||
Expected shares price volatility | 70 | % | ||
Expected option term (years) | 0.56 | |||
Dividend yield | - |
The fair value of the option as of December 31, 2017 amounted to $132,470.The key assumptions used in the options’ valuation was as follows:

NOTE 6: INCOME TAXES
a. Basis of taxation
The Company and its subsidiary are taxed under the domestic tax laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of each entity (United States and Israel).
b. Carryforward Tax Losses
Carryforward Tax Losses of the US Company as of September 30, 2018 amounted to approximately $0.4 million. Carryforward Tax Losses of the Israeli subsidiary amounted to approximately $5.1 million. A full valuation allowance was created against these carry forward tax losses since the realization of any future benefit from these net operating losses cannot be sufficiently assured at September 30, 2018.
c. Corporate tax rates
The regular corporate tax rate in Israel in 2017 is 24% and 23% in 2018.
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), which among other reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.
The Company has no impact of the TCJA on these condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 7: LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share is based on the loss that is attributed to the stockholders holding common stock, divided by the weighted average number of common stock in issue during the period.
For purposes of the calculation of the diluted loss per share, the Company adjusts the weighted average number of common stock using the treasury stock method assuming conversion of all of the dilutive potential stock. The potential stock are taken into account only if their effect is dilutive (increases loss per share).
16 |
NOTE 8: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payables approximate their fair value, due to their short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximates the amounts expected to be received or paid.
A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The Company accounts for option liability as Level 3 since its inputs are unobservable inputs for the liability.
The following table is a reconciliation of the change for the financial liability where fair value measurement is estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
US dollar | US dollar | |||||||
Fair value as of January 1 | $ | 132,470 | - | |||||
Change in fair value recognized in statement of operations and comprehensive loss | (132,470 | ) | 276,150 | |||||
Fair value as of September 30 | $ | - | 276,150 |

You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help you understand our historical results of operations during the periods presented and our financial condition for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Overview and Recent Developments
We are a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialization of a unique delivery platform utilizing vaporization of various natural compounds for multiple health, beauty and wellness applications. Novomic’s delivery platform is proprietary and patented.
Our current product offering includes Novokid® - an innovative home use device which vaporizes a natural, plant-based, pesticides and silicone-free compound that effectively treats head lice and eggs. Following our soft launch of Novokid® in the Netherlands, we expanded our distribution network and launched Novokid in Israel during late May 2018 through Super Pharm, Israel’s largest and leading drugstore chain. The launch was accompanied by a radio and digital brand awareness and marketing campaign and supported by Meditrend, our Israeli distributor, specializing in health and wellness products while representing leading brands.
During the following months, we will work to expand our sales points to additional drugstore chains, pharmacies, department stores, HMOs, various online outlets, and the like.
18 |
As we remain focused on increasing our global footprint and expanding our distribution network, we showcased Novokid® and met potential distributors and partners at CPhI Worldwide, a renowned and leading pharma tradeshow held in Madrid during October 2018.
We are also working on erecting an automated production line which is expected to ramp up our manufacturing capacity while reducing its costs.
In July 2018, our board of directors has appointed Mr. Doron Biran as the new chief executive officer of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Novomic. Mr. Biran replaced Mr. Zvi Yemini, our chairman of the board of directors, who served as our chief executive officer of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Novomic since June 2018. In September 2018, we appointed Mr. Nir Shemesh as the new chief financial officer of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Novomic. Mr. Shemesh replaced Tzahi Geld who had served as chief financial officer of the Company since July 2017.
As of the date hereof, we have limited operations and revenues from our business operations. There is substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern and an on-going business for the next twelve months without the success of our business operations which foresees the generation of revenues throughout 2018. Before we enter the U.S. market, we will need to secure approval from the FDA which will take approximately 12-24 months.
We project that we will need to raise up to $2,000,000 during the next 12 months in order to successfully implement our business plan, of which there can be no assurance. Failure to obtain this necessary capital at acceptable terms, if at all, when needed, may force us to delay, limit, or terminate our products development efforts and secure regulatory approvals and would adversely impact our planned research and development efforts in connection with the Company’s future products, which may make it more difficult for us to attain profitability.
Our Treatment Solutions
Novokid – Natural, Plant-based and Effective Lice Treatment
Parents and children exposed to head lice are now forced to use standard over-the-counter, or OTC, treatments that are toxic, often ineffective, time consuming and expensive. According to the Journal of Medical Entomology, 98% of lice have developed resistance to existing treatments in the US and they have now referred to as “super-lice”. Most current treatments contain pesticides, alcohol or silicone, which are all associated with a wide variety of hazardous side effects.
Novokid is a non-pesticide, natural, plant-based and eco-friendly solution that eliminates lice and super lice by a 10 minute dry treatment. This compares with current treatments that required 20-40 minutes of shampooing and daily combing. Our treatment is fast, dry, clean, and easily administered at home or on the go. Novokid can also be used as a maintenance and preventative treatment if used regularly.
Shine – Natural Haircare rejuvenation
Shine uses cold vaporization and a proprietary formulation to clean, treat and improve the appearance of the hair and scalp. In addition to removing the residue of products, the treatments will balance the hair’s pH levels, add body and shine, define curls, and strengthen and protect hair from further damage. Like our solution for lice, users simply put a Shine capsule in the compressor, place the attached cap on their head and sit for a 10-minute treatment. There is no need to rinse or shampoo following the treatment.
The global hair care market is estimated to be in excess of $80 billion per annum and we are looking to establish a presence in the home treatment niche. To that end, we are in the process of expanding the Shine treatment product line to include formulations for the needs of specific hair types, such as dry, curly, colored, and over-processed hair.

Recent Developments and Plans
Our current and future products are all based on the Platform which was developed over a period of seven years. During the past 18 months, we have achieved the following:
● | Performed extensive market research for the lice treatment/prevention market; | |
● | Completed product development of Novokid, which included finalization of commercial design of vaporizer, capsules and head cap, optimizing the product efficiency, negotiating and finalizing the product supply chain across various suppliers; | |
● | Received the Israeli Ministry of health approval, or AMAR, to market our Novokid head lice treatment products in Israel; | |
● | Attained ISO 9001 certification; | |
● | Obtained CE approval for Novokid, classified as a Class I medical device; | |
● | Obtained recommendations from leading senior pediatrics; | |
● | Opened Company headquarters offices in Israel’s Rosh Ha’ayin Industrial Park; | |
● | Entered into an Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, Agreement, which we refer to as the OEM Agreement, according to which the OEM distributor will manufacture, distribute and sell the Company’s Novokid head lice treatment products, in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica and Colombia, all on an exclusive basis; | |
● | Entered into a distribution agreement with an exclusive distributor of our Novokid product line in the Netherlands; | |
● | Entered into a distribution agreement with an exclusive distributor of our Novokid product line in Israel; | |
● | Contracted and set up production facilities in China and Israel; and | |
● | Showcased Novokid® in CPhI Madrid, the world’s leading pharma tradeshow, held in Madrid, Spain, during October 2018. |
During the next 12-18 months, we plan to focus our efforts on the following:
● | Showcasing Novokid® and Shine and meet potential distributors and partners in multiple tradeshows around the world; | |
● | Finalizing additional distribution, OEM and JV agreements with well-known distributes and manufacturers, in Israel and throughout the world; | |
● | Erecting automated production and assembly lines; | |
● | Reduction of manufacturing costs; | |
● | Finalizing the development and commercialization of Shine, the Company’s hair treatment devices exploiting our proprietary vapor based delivery platform; | |
● | Obtain the approval of the FDA for Novokid, by and through our OEM distributor; | |
● | Obtain CE and FDA approvals for Shine; | |
● | Complete preparations for mass production by launching an automated capsule production line; | |
● | Presenting the platform and its application in leading conferences around the globe; and | |
● | Developing our dermatology and pests control applications, based on our Platform. |
20 |
We may be required to obtain additional regulatory approvals for our head lice treatment platform and any future products. If unable to receive regulatory approval or commercialize our product candidates, our business will be adversely affected. CE approval is required for the marketing, distributing and sale of our products in the EU, whereas FDA approval is required for such marketing, distributing and sale in the United States. In the event that our products are to be sold in certain territories requiring additional regulatory approvals, such approvals will need to be obtained by us or by our distributors.
Sales and Marketing
While the vaporizer for both Novokid and Shine is designated to be a one-time purchase, the head cap and the capsules, will be sold separately based on the razor/razor-blade business model. Based on our estimates, which we believe are both reasonable and conservative, our target customers are expected to purchase between 12-16 capsule units per year. Therefore, we estimate that the majority of our revenues will be generated in the future based on capsules sales for both Novokid and Shine products.
The Company plans to focus its initial sales and marketing efforts on the European Union where CE approval was obtained in Q3 2017, and once FDA approval for the Novokid product is received, also the United States.
In order to achieve our intended global footprint and market presence, we plan to base our primary distribution method on the distribution model, in which the distributer will sell our products under our name and branding. In specific instances, we will consider implementing the OEM model, in which the distributer will sell our products under a co-branding arrangement. We believe that these models will reduce our marketing costs to a minimum while starting to generate revenues to support our research and development efforts for utilizing our technological platform to expand our product line.
The Company also plans to market and advertise its products through implementing an omni-channel strategy, both through online and retail sales outlets, which we believe will present a huge opportunity for generating sales and market acceptance.
Production
We manufacture our products through third party manufacturers in Israel and China. The Novokid vaporizer is manufactured in China by a local manufacturer which also handles assembly, integration and quality assurance for the vaporizer and manufactures the cap and the ancillary components of the Novokid Kit. The Novokid treatment capsules are manufactured and filled in Israel by third party contractors. We are working with industry experts to erect an automated production and assembly line, which we expect to increase our manufacturing capacity as well as reduce its costs.
Research and Development
We incurred approximately $696 thousand on research and development during the past two years. During this period, the Company completed the development of both the Novokid and Shine products, which included finalization of commercial design of the compressor, capsules and head cap and optimizing the products efficiency.
We plan to build upon the research and development achievements we had with the completion of the Novokid product for head lice treatment as the basis to expand our variety of treatments and solutions, which will also be based on the developed Platform and the knowledge we gained during the past two years.
We are working on a new and proprietary capsule (patent-pending) which will enable a wider variety of future applications for our delivery platform.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of September 30, 2018, reflects total assets of approximately $1.1 million, consisting mainly of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $384 thousand, accounts receivables of approximately $174 thousand, inventory of approximately $156 thousand and other receivables of approximately $244 thousand.

While management believes the Company will be successful in its current and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in the achievement of sales of its products that will generate sufficient revenues to earn a profit and sustain the operations of the Company. Our ability to create sufficient working capital to sustain us over the next twelve-month period and beyond, is dependent on our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt instrument. There can be no assurance that sufficient capital will be available to us. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

Going Concern Consideration
As result of the above, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures with respect to this matter, but no accounting adjustments that relate to this matter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
There was no change to our critical accounting policies since the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the adoption of the new revenue accounting standard and the improvements to Non-Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
a. | Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard related to the recognition of revenue in contracts with customers. Since the Company had no revenues prior to January 1, 2018 the new standard had no impact to revenues and results of operations for prior periods. |
The Company derives revenues from sales of its products directly or indirectly through its distributors.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer. | |
● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. | |
● | Determination of the transaction price. | |
● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
● | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the end customer or to the distributor.
The Company reports revenue net of any revenue based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions.
Revenue from products are recognized when the customer or the distributor has obtained control of the goods (for the Company’s current arrangements, this is at the point in time) based on the shipping terms. The Company recognizes revenue on sales to distributors upon shipment of the goods, when the distributor has economic substance apart from the Company and the distributor is considered the principal for the transaction with the end-user client.
b. | Effective July 2018, the Company early adopted the new improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting with no impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

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 Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (who is the Company’s principal executive officer) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (who is 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 our evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, our Company’s CEO and CFO 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 our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Remediation Plan
Since the time our material weaknesses were identified in early 2017 related to (i) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (ii) ineffective controls over period-end financial reporting and disclosure processes we initiated the following procedures during the year ended December 31, 2017:
(i) | Due to inadequate finance resources as of the end of Q1 2017, we hired during the second quarter of 2017 a new outsourced finance team and replaced our Chief Financial Officer. | |
(ii) | Began implementing processes and controls to properly perform an effective period-end financial reporting process. |
We have started to implement the following additional steps: (i) Appoint additional qualified personnel (such as a new Chief Executive Officer as of July 2018 and a new internal Chief Financial Officer as of September 2018) to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective controls over period-end financial reporting as well as continue implementing modifications to our operating procedures and financial controls to address such inadequacies; and (ii) Adopt sufficient policies and procedures for period-end financial reporting.
The remediation efforts, which are not completed as of September 30, 2018, set out is largely dependent upon our Company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor of any proceedings that a governmental authority is contemplating against us. We know of no material proceedings to which any of our directors, officers, affiliates, owner of record or beneficially of more than 5 percent of our voting securities or security holders is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
