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 as a public shell 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.

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.

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 $150,000, 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 of Form 14C. The Company is currently working towards completing the issuance of an additional 445,702,721 shares of common stock of the Company.

During Q1 2020 the Company continued selling the Novokid® product produced by Novomic both through online and physical sales channels, including through its own website. Novomic is not presented as held for sale, although the held-for-sale criteria are 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, during 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 its focus 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 asset 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 created a new Israeli subsidiary CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd (company number 516201159), which was incorporated on June 3, 2020.

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 June 30, 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 on 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 three-months ended March 31, 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 subsidiary, Novomic. 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. 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 subsidiary 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.

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

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. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments.

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 is no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

Key Target Markets

We primarily target growth-stage technology companies focused on health and wellness solutions.

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 healthcare industry, and specifically the biotech sector, seeks to solve many of the world’s medical problems.

² https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/digital-health-market; https://globalwellnessinstitute.org/industry-research/2018-global-wellness-economy-monitor/; https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/corporate-wellness-market

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.

● Israel is truly a ‘start-up nation’ and has global leaders in almost any category of technology-driven innovation covered by the Company.³

● Europe has very active health and wellness innovation clusters in the Netherlands, UK, France, Nordic regions and Germany in particular.

● North America: - the USA is the market leader in health and wellness innovations and leads the world in M&A activity in this area for mature companies with proven revenues.

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, Citrine Global 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 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 renown 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.

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

Asset 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.

● Citrine has built a model adapted to these companies’ needs, covering innovation centers, laboratories, pharmacies, and clinics.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We generated $11 thousand in revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $58 thousand in revenues in the three months ended March 31, 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 focusing on our new business activity.

Gross Profit

We incurred a gross loss during the three months ended March 31, 2020, of $2 thousand, compared to $4 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to decrease in the sales volume and a decrease in inventory value of Novomic products.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $18 thousand as compared to $41 thousand, during the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 were $672 thousand as compare to $435 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 we incurred a net loss of $689 thousand. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $479 thousand. The increase in net loss is mainly attributable to the share based compensation expenses as described above.

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.

Management’s Remediation Plan

Based on the Company’s evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 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 Chair and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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.
