Our recent achievements and upcoming milestones include:

Developing & Bringing Plant-Based Wellness & Pharma Products to Market

We are developing plant-based solutions which include products for improving quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing selected side effects caused by using medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle. In December 2021 we finalized the development of 25 proprietary formulations in multiple form factors under the brand name of Green Side by Side™ for the wellness industry.

The Green Side by Side™ product line includes herbals medicinal mushrooms, vitamins, minerals, and a variety of researched plants known for their healing qualities that contain substances with different anti-inflammatory properties and a variety of health-supportive effects that are relaxing, sleep enhancing, energizing, mood and body balancing, as well as enhancing oral care, alleviating side effects, and many botanical formulations that we target for balancing selected side effects and improving quality of life.

Green Side by Side products are manufactured in Israel in a GMP-certified manufacturing facility approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health. In Q1 2022 we launched in the Israeli market several products from the Green Side by Side™ product line, which includes the SmokLy ^TM series, a line of sprays for the oral cavity to support people suffering from cavity dryness (xerostomia) as a side effect.

We have commercially started marketing the products with a local Israeli partner that is targeting medical cannabis distribution channels and we plan to expand our activity in the Israeli market as well as distribute worldwide with local partners and according to local regulations. Green Side by Side is positioned to capture market share in the nutritional supplements market that is expected to reach $625 billion by 2030⁴.

IP and Research & Development Strategy

Our IP strategy and R&D roadmap include building our patent portfolio, conducting clinical studies, advancing products through regulatory approvals. Leveraging technology and research, we continue to innovate, developing solutions that combine botanical formulations, herbal extracts, tinctures, sprays and other natural delivery methods with a variety of researched plants known for their healing qualities.

We target to bring to the wellness and pharma market innovative products to improve quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing selected side effects caused by medicines, treatments, cannabis, aging, stress, or an unbalanced lifestyle.

Our mission includes developing plant-based medicines for the plant-derived drug market that is expected to reach $53 billion by 2026⁵.

Side Effects Caused by Medicines, Cannabis and Treatments, or an Unbalanced Lifestyle

A broad range of medicines, including use of cannabis, and treatments have common side effects such as dryness in the oral cavity (xerostomia), headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, lack of concentration, and impaired appetite. We are researching and developing complementary solutions to address the need to balance selected effects through wellness solutions, as well as clinically developed plant-based pharmaceutical solutions⁶.

Addressing a significant market need, we filed a provisional patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office to address the side effects of cannabis use titled “Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods for the Treatment of Side-Effects Associated with the Use of Cannabis, Cannabinoids and Related Products” patent No: 63/257,673.

Research shows that nearly 70% of cannabis users experience constant dry mouth and 20% percent of the elderly suffer from xerostomia as a side effect of their medications⁷. As part of our Green Side by Side product line, we developed the SmokLy ^TM series of sprays for the oral cavity which contain plant extracts distilled from seeds, roots, bark, fruits with active anti-inflammatory substances that encourage saliva production and taste in the oral cavity and can balance the dry mouth side effect (xerostomia) from using medicines and cannabis. We are working diligently on developing a broad array of plant-based wellness and pharma complementary solutions to address selected side effects caused by medicines, cannabis, treatments or an unbalanced lifestyle.

Green Vision Center Production & Innovation Center for Plant-Based Wellness & Pharma Products

The Green Vision Center is part of our strategy to create end-to-end plant-based solutions covering all the infrastructure, facilities, and activities required for developing, manufacturing, and bringing to market innovative plant-based wellness and pharma products.

In February of 2022, we completed the acquisition of 125,000 sq ft (11,687 sq meters) of industrial land in Yerucham, a city in southern Israel, to build the Green Vision Center Israel with the Israeli government support. Approximately 90% of the acquisition cost was provided by Israeli government programs that encourage industrial development and includes additional grants and tax incentives.

Designed by Avner Sher, one of Israel’s most highly regarded architects and artists, Green Vision Center will be a 60,000 sq ft (5,500 sq meter) first-of-its-kind facility. The center will be constructed by a professional project construction company that will oversee the aspects of the building including interfacing with sub-contractors and obtaining the requisite building permits and other required authorizations.

As demand for plant-based products in industries ranging from wellness, to pharma, to cosmetics, to food continues to increase, our Green Vision Center will provide highly sought-after facilities for the development and production of botanical and plant-based products.

Transaction with Intelicanna Ltd.

On May 31, 2020, we and Intelicanna entered into a share exchange agreement and an agreement for future issuance of shares. Ilanit Halperin, a director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, is also the Chief Financial Officer of Intelicanna, and Doron Birger, a director of ours, is the chairman of the board of directors of Intelicanna effective April 2021. The share exchange agreement provided that (i) the number of shares each party issues to the other will be calculated by dividing $500 thousand by the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the issuing party’s shares in the three trading days preceding the signing of the agreement, (ii) the Issuance by Intelicanna will take place upon, and subject to, receipt of approval from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the issuance by the Company will follow immediately thereafter, and (iii) the parties may not sell the shares within the first six months after issuance, and thereafter the parties may sell the shares issued to them if the shares become registered through a prospectus approved by the relevant securities authority, or under an exemption provided by applicable securities law, subject to a limit on the number of shares either party may sell per day. The agreement for future issuance of shares provided that a fall in a share price of a party, not exceeding 20%, measured six months after issuance of shares by both parties pursuant to the share exchange agreement, will be offset by the issuance of additional shares to the other party to bring up to $500 thousand the total value of the shares issued to the other party. On September 17, 2020 we issued to Intelicanna 2,143,470 shares of common stock in exchange for 619,589 of Intelicanna’s ordinary shares. The lock-up period under the share exchange agreement with respect to the 619,589 Intelicanna’s ordinary shares held by the Company lapsed in March 2021. Between August 3 – 9, 2021, we sold to an unrelated third party in an off market transaction 619,589 ordinary shares of Intelicanna for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of 1,260,611 NIS (approximately $391,500 based on the current exchange rate). Following the sale, the Company no longer holds any Intelicanna shares. We sold our holdings in Intelicanna primarily to avoid being deemed an “investment holding company”. In addition, on August 15, 2021, the Company’s board of directors determined that it is required to issue to Intelicanna 535,867 shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreements described above and has authorized the issuance of such shares to Intelicanna. As of December 31, 2021 the common stock have not yet been issued to Intelicanna.

On June 25, 2020, Citrine Global Israel has entered into a services agreement with Intelicanna to provide business development and consulting services to Intelicanna, including assistance with raising financing. The agreement was terminated by mutual consent on October 5, 2021.

Also on June 25, 2020, to assist Intelicanna to raise the first NIS 1 million, the Company and the Israeli Subsidiary entered into an agreement to grant Intelicanna NIS 1 million in cash (approximately USD 290 thousand) in direct financing for working capital purposes. The financing had a 6% annual interest and Intelicanna was required to make additional payments equaling 6% of its gross revenues between the date the financing is received and the date Intelicanna’s aggregate gross revenues equal NIS 2 million. On July 9, 2020, we transferred to Intelicanna NIS 500,000 (approximately $145,000 on the date of payment) on account of the above loan. On March 31, 2021, Intelicanna repaid the outstanding principal loan with the 12% interest in an aggregate amount of $164,000.

On August 4, 2020, our Board of Directors approved for the Company and Citrine Global Israel to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT. On August 9, 2021, through our 60% owned subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel, we entered into an agreement with iBOT pursuant to which iBOT agreed to manufacture a line of nutritional supplements for Cannovation Center Israel, including packaging and storage.

The loan bears interest at an effective annual interest rate of 12% as and is convertible, at the option of Citrine Global, into equity shares of iBOT at conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) 25% discount to the most recent round of capital raised by iBOT during the term of the loan and (ii) the rate specified in the framework agreement]. In addition, the agreement provided that our Israeli subsidiary is entitled to convert the outstanding loan, in whole or in part, to satisfy payments of amounts owed to iBOT under the services agreements between the parties.

In October 2021, iBOT granted to Citrine Global Group, a pre-emption right to any equity or equity linked securities that iBOT proposes to issue to an unrelated third party with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company exceeding $1 million or which will result in a change in control in iBOT following such issuance, then iBOT is to give to the Citrine Global Group written notice of such proposed issuance and the relevant terms thereof and the Citrine Global Group shall have ten (10) days thereafter to determine if it elects to purchase a minimum of 51% of the proposed issuance on the price and other terms specified in the notice sent by iBOT (the “Pre-Emption Right”).

Any iBOT securities of the Pre-Emption Right that Citrine Global Group elects to not purchase are to be sold by not later than 90 days following the end of the Citrine Global Group’s notice period and if such shares are not sold to such third party within the 90 day period, the Pre-Emption right shall apply to any subsequent proposed issuance. The preemption right does not apply to certain specified exceptions.

On November, 2021, the Company, Cannovation Center Israel and CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd., on the one hand (collectively the “Citrine Global Group”), and iBOT, on the other hand, entered into an Exclusive Strategic Collaboration and Alliance Agreement (the “Exclusive Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which iBOT granted to the Citrine Global Group, jointly and individually, exclusive world-wide rights, solely with respect to the cannabis market, to iBOT’s botanical formulas and nutritional supplements, including, the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of such products. The exclusive rights include the right of any of the Citrine Global Group to grant rights thereunder to third parties so long as such third parties shall agree to be bound by terms consistent with those contained in this Agreement. In consideration of the grant of the rights under the Exclusive Rights Agreement, Citrine Global Group granted to iBOT the exclusive right to manufacture in State of Israel (consistent with the terms of the Manufacturing Agreement) the botanical products. In addition, so long as iBOT is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Citrine Global Group determines to manufacture botanical products outside of Israel, then iBOT is to be afforded the opportunity to perform such manufacturing for the Citrine Group at iBOT’s facility in Israel provided that iBOT complies with all of the terms and conditions relating to such manufacturing project, including the price per unit, delivery schedules, packaging requirements regulation and other relevant terms.

Acquisition of Land for the building the Green Vision Center Israel

We previously disclosed that the Israeli Ministry of the Economy recommended that the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Cannovation Center Israel, be granted the right to purchase an industrial parcel of land from the Israel Land Authority (“ILA”) at a subsidized price and exempt from a tender procedures typically required under Israeli law. On February 8, 2022, Cannovation Ltd. received from ILA a counter-signed development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) to purchase rights for long term lease to 11,687 square meters of industrial land in Yeruham in Southern Israel (the “Land”) for purposes of building the Cannovation Center, which is intended to include factories, laboratories, logistics and a distribution center for the wellness, pharma, medical cannabis and botanicals industries. During December 2021, Cannovation Ltd. remitted to the Israeli Ministry of the Economy and the ILA the aggregate amount of 687,650 NIS ($221,122 on the date of payment) to obtain the rights to the Land. The amount represents approximately 10% of the prevailing market price for comparable land space in the general area and is part of the grant by the Israeli government under government programs to encourage industrial development in Southern Israel. The amount remitted represents the total amount that Cannovation Ltd. is required to pay as the purchase price for the Land.

We created multi-strategy solutions to realize our mission, the highlights of which include the following:

We believe the power of plant-based solutions from nature can help improve people’s health and quality of life. We have built a strategy for developing a plant-based product portfolio with scientific and research-based plants such as herbal extracts, medicinal mushrooms, and other natural ingredients for the wellness industry and pharma solutions with the mission of developing plant-based medicines.

The plant-based products market is booming with health-conscious consumers spending more on natural products, ranging from nutraceuticals, natural superfoods, beverages, cosmetics, to legal cannabis and the evolving market of botanical and plant-derived drugs. The COVID-19 pandemic has left a lasting impression on consumer behavior, particularly in relation to plant-based nutrition and natural immunity boosters¹¹.

Here are the various growing plant-based product market segments:

We are basing our efforts on technologies to create research and innovation, developing plant based solutions which include products for improving quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing selected side effects caused by using medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle.

About Side Effects Caused by Using Medicines Cannabis and Treatments or an Unbalanced Lifestyle

Side effects are unexpected reactions which may result from using medicines and treatments. There are common side effects, such as dryness in the oral cavity (xerostomia), headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, lack of concentration, and impaired appetite that are associated with the use of medicines, treatments and the use of cannabis and related products¹⁷.

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 state¹⁸.

Addressing a significant market need, we included in our product roadmap is the development of plant based complementary solutions through wellness as well as clinically developed 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 such as:

We researched the oral cavity dryness side effect, xerostomia, a common side effect associated with damage to the glands responsible to produce saliva that may result from smoking, using cannabis, medications, and treatments. Saliva contains calcium and phosphorous which protects teeth, helps the digestive system, prevents bad smell through balancing the acidity that comes from food and bacteria, has enzymes that help break down food, washes food scraps and bacteria, and helps speech as pronunciation of movements and syllables is done with saliva and tongue. It is important to maintain the saliva level in the mouth and prevent problems and damage, as saliva plays a key role in maintaining health in the oral cavity.

Following investigation of dry mouth side effect (xerostomia), And as part of our Green Side by Side line, we developed the SmokLy ^TM series of sprays for the oral cavity which contain plant extracts distilled from seeds, roots, bark, fruits with active anti-inflammatory substances that encourage saliva production and taste in the oral cavity and can balance the dry mouth side effect (xerostomia) from using medicines and cannabis.

About Side Effect from Cannabis Use

Following thorough investigation of cannabis’ side effects, we filed a provisional patent application titled “PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SIDE-EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF CANNABIS, CANNABINOIDS AND RELATED PRODUCTS”, patent No: 63/257,673 in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

There are currently over 200 million cannabis users worldwide and an increased interest in cannabis as a medicine in recent years²⁰. Cannabis was approved for medical use showing benefit in serious medical conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, chronic pain, post trauma, and more²¹. Research indicates that some medical cannabis users experience side effects during their cannabis treatment, which may cause them to discontinue treatment despite good clinical outcomes achieved with the cannabis treatment²².

We built the following strategy and unique business model that can support our ability to remain competitive

Regulatory Environment

In every jurisdiction in which we plan to operate, we will be subject to extensive governmental regulations on the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising, promoting, importing, distributing, shipping, and selling our products, may they be nutritional supplements, cosmetics, foods, or any other category.

Prior to commencing operations and/or permitting sales of our products in the market, we may be required to obtain an approval, license, or certification from the relevant country’s ministry of health or another responsible agency. Prior to entering a new market, we plan to work with local authorities, either directly or via our local partner, to obtain the requisite approvals. The approval process usually requires us to present each product and product ingredients and, in some cases, arrange for testing of products by local technicians for ingredient analysis

We are aware that we or our local partners would need to obtain various regulatory approvals and licenses for our different product lines and activities, including production of botanicals, nutritional supplements, natural snacks and beverages, natural cosmetics, and more. We intend to obtain all regulatory approvals required for different product categories in the different countries in which we will operate either directly or through our local partners.

We describe in this section mainly the material regulations that are currently applicable to our products.

Regulatory Environment for the Green Side by Side Products

While the number of people using nutritional supplements and herbal medicine products continues to increase in many countries, the regulations for these products vary from country-to-country. In some countries supplement use is limited to general health and well-being while in other countries they are permitted for use as medicinal products. To date, there is little consensus from country to country on the scope, requirements, definition, or even the terminology in which the nutritional supplement and herbal medicines categories could be classified.²⁸

Our Green Side by Side products are regulated in Israel as nutritional supplements and meet all regulatory compliance requirements for nutritional supplements in Israel. iBOT Israel Botanicals, our manufacturing facility for the Green Side by Side product line, is approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health and is GMP-certified.

The Green Side by Side products will have all relevant regulatory approvals before being launched in other territories, such as European countries and the US.

Regulatory landscape of dietary supplements and herbal medicines from a global perspective. Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 114, p.104647.

The Israeli Ministry of Health maintains a comprehensive list of authorized nutritional supplements for marketing. This list includes over a thousand different vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs including their extracts. Items under this list can be legally marketed, however, no medical claims can be made without adequate supporting information. The final products can be in various forms such as powders, tablets, hard or soft capsules, liquids, including oils and tinctures. Each product must be manufactured under GMP conditions and be approved by the Ministry of Health prior to selling.

Regulatory Compliance for the Green Vision Center

We Acquired 125,000 sq ft (11,687 sqm) of industrial land in the south of Israel upon which a 60,000 sq. ft. (5,500 sqm) facility will be built comprised of manufacturing plants, laboratories, logistics, import and export, offices, training, conference center, and an international visitor complex. The center will be constructed by a real estate professional project construction company and regulatory consultants in the relevant fields that will obtain the required authorizations.

We intend to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals and licenses for the Green Vision Center’s production and operation facilities and products.

The Health & Wellness Industries Market Size and Potential:

We believe the health & wellness industries, which demonstrate high growth potential, and we are primarily focused on these industries.

The global health and wellness market is expected to reach USD 7.6 trillion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2030. The hectic, unbalanced lifestyle has resulted in the prevalence of lack of proper diet and sleep, stress, depression, anxiety, cancer, diabetes, and various other health related issues. Lack of proper diet has resulted in the reduced intake of essential nutrients and minerals required for the healthy and active functioning of the human body. Precedence research identifies growth opportunities to the health and wellness market players across the globe in the adoption of smart technologies and innovative ways in the manufacturing of various health and wellness products, nutritional supplements, healthy snacks and beverages, the growing biopharmaceutical industry and development of botanical drugs ^29.

 Health and wellness have been found by Nielsen IQ researchers to be the most powerful consumer force of 2021. In contrast to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19, consumers are being very deliberate with their choices. A survey conducted discovered that consumers emphasize having meaningful and purposeful living, health management, strength and wellness, mental health and stability, happiness, social connections, environmental betterment, balance, and fulfillment. We are witnessing a global movement of health and wellbeing becoming a priority for the public, further emphasized by the recent global COVID-19 pandemic. There is increasing recognition that people need to take charge of their own health, improve their quality of life, use natural products, and balance side effects caused by medicines and treatment³⁰.

The Plant-Based Market Size and Potential:

The plant-based products market is booming with health-conscious consumers spending more on natural products, ranging from nutraceuticals, natural superfoods, beverages, cosmetics to legal cannabis and the evolving market for botanical and plant-derived drugs. The COVID-19 pandemic has left a lasting impression on consumer behavior, particularly in relation to plant-based nutrition and natural immunity boosters³¹.

The Global Nutritional Supplements Market

The global nutritional supplements market is expected to reach USD 624.7 billion by 2030 and is expanding growth at a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2021 to 2030 with plant-based supplements containing natural ingredients and extracts of plants and mushrooms that have a beneficial biological effect³⁷. The global superfoods market is expected to reach USD 214.95 billion by 2027 with superfoods being foods that have a very high nutritional density. This means they provide a substantial amount of nutrients and very few calories. They contain a high volume of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Growth in the nutritional supplements is driven by growing awareness of health and safety in the traditional pharma, food, and beverage industries as well as higher healthcare costs. Authentic consumption has become a major food and beverage trend as consumers increasingly seek non-artificial and natural ingredients. Products such as ginseng, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, and garlic, the top selling botanical products are considered natural remedies for inflammation and infections. This is further driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, with consumers looking to strengthen the natural immune system. This is also driving growth of vitamins and minerals and moving towards natural colorant-based plant juice products, since they provide better and long-lasting protection from viruses and bacteria. In addition, botanicals and nutritional supplements are widely used by people who suffer from diseases related to weight management, clinical nutrition, digestive health (gut health problems), immunity, diabetes, and cardio fitness, either as treatment or prevention³⁸.

The market demand for Nutritional Supplements is driven by³⁹:

The Botanical and Plant-derived Drug Market

The global botanical and plant-derivative drug market is anticipated to grow to USD 53 billion by 2026 driven by growing applications in diseases, an FDA botanical approval pathway, technological developments in manufacturing processes and a growing focus and demand for naturally sourced medicines⁴⁰.

Botanical drugs are derived from natural sources, plants and mushrooms, and are considered to have fewer side-effects as compared to synthetic drugs while showing high efficacy in helping to treat different medical conditions and chronic diseases⁴¹.

The important driver for growth in the global botanical and plant-derivative drug market is its growing applications in diseases. Botanical drugs are derivative of medicinal plants and may contain algae and vegetable substances, along with macroscopic fungi. These may assist in the treatment of various diseases, such as central nervous system disorders, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases. Botanical and plant derivative drugs are available in various forms, such as pills, tablets, and injections⁴².

The factors responsible for limited adoption of botanical drugs are regulations with governments across the globe having strict regulations regarding the use and approval of botanical drugs. The use of botanical and plant derivative drugs is currently limited for curing only a few diseases such as central nervous system disorders and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. We can see some transformation of the regulatory landscape in the US as one of the prime reasons driving the botanical and plant-derived drugs market growth ⁴³.

The Botanical and plant-derivative drug market is primarily driven by the following factors ⁴⁴

The Global Cannabis Market

The global legal cannabis market size is expected to reach USD 70.6 billion by 2028 driven mainly by increased legalization of cannabis for medical and adult-use and the growing adoption of these products for the treatment of chronic diseases⁴⁵.

There are currently over 200 million cannabis users worldwide and an increased interest in cannabis as a medicine in recent years⁴⁶. Cannabis was approved for medical use showing benefit in serious medical conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, chronic pain, post trauma, and more. Research indicates that some medical cannabis users experience side effects during their cannabis treatment, which may cause them to discontinue treatment despite good clinical outcomes achieved with the cannabis treatment ⁴⁷.

The Global Natural Cosmetics Market

The global natural cosmetics market is projected to reach USD 24.26 billion by 2027 driven mainly by increasing demand for harmful chemical-free cosmetics, rising awareness against the use of animal derivatives and growing social media movements endorsing naturally derived products⁴⁸.

The cosmetic and personal care segment of botanicals is also on the rise with companies increasingly discovering novel herbal ingredients as consumers are seeking more natural products with ingredients that are of plant origin: extracts or oils obtained from raw plant materials. Natural cosmetics are cosmetics that have ingredients of plant origin. The absence of chemical compounds and animal-by products are specifically suited to sensitive skin people. The natural cosmetic products are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Many companies in the field focus on the production of natural cosmetics that are cruelty-free as these products have increasing demand⁴⁹.

Our common stock is listed and traded on the Over-the-counter market OTCQB under the symbol “CTGL.”

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. The risks described below are not the only risks facing the Company. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Risks to Financial position

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

We have a limited operating history. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We have not generated revenues and there can be no assurance that we will ever generate revenues and, even if we did, there is no guarantee that we will be profitable. 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 expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the implementation of our business plan. If we fail to generate revenue and eventually become profitable, or if we are unable to fund our continuing losses, our shareholders could lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

We will need substantial additional funding to implement our business plan & operations, including building the Green Vision Center, which could result in significant dilution or restrictions on our business activities. We may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts and curtail our operations

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We expect to need substantial additional funding to pursue the clinical development of our drug candidates and launch and commercialize any drug candidates for which we receive regulatory approval.

We raised gross proceeds to us of $1.7 million in loans from affiliated entities. All of these loans will come due in July 2023. We require additional capital for the further development and commercialization of our product lines and may need to raise additional funds sooner if we choose to and are able to expand more rapidly than we currently anticipate.

We will also need significant funds to complete our planned 60,000 square foot Green Vision Center in Southern Israel. Under the agreement with the Israel Lands Authority, our subsidiary Cannovation Ltd. committed to build and develop the Green Vision Center in accordance with the time frames, terms and conditions of the agreement. Typically, the initial time frame for completing the development is four (4) years, subject to extensions that the ILA may approve. Upon completion of the development within the time frames and other requirements specified in the Agreement, then Cannovation Ltd. will be entitled subject to Israeli law to long term lease agreement (49 years) to the Land (equivalent to ownership rights as most of the land in Israel is government owned and when marketed usually the developers are granted with development/long lease rights).

Accordingly, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities.

To date, we have financed our operations through a mix of debt and grant funding, and we expect to continue to utilize such means of financing for the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all.

If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our then existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities.

If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of indebtedness, we may become subject to covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support research and development or commercialization activities.

If we are unable to raise capital when needed on commercially reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development for our product candidates or any future commercialization efforts or ultimately cease operations. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to finance our cash requirements, which we may never achieve, we expect to finance our cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or through the establishment of possible strategic alliances. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to secure additional equity funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical studies, development programs or future commercialization initiatives.

In addition, any additional equity funding that we do obtain will dilute the ownership held by our existing security holders. The amount of this dilution may be substantially increased if the trading price of our common stock is lower at the time of any financing. Regardless, the economic dilution to shareholders will be significant if our stock price does not increase significantly, or if the effective price of any sale is below the price paid by a particular shareholder. Any debt financing that we obtain in the future could involve substantial restrictions on activities and creditors could seek a pledge of some or all of our assets. We have not identified potential sources for such financing that we will require, and we do not have commitments from any third parties to provide any future debt financing. If we fail to obtain funding as needed, we may be forced to cease or scale back operations, and our results, financial condition and stock price would be adversely affected.

We may never achieve profitability.

We are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of future revenue or expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. We have financed our operations primarily through issuance and sale of equity and equity linked securities. The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of growth or contraction of our expenses and the level and rate of growth, if any, of our revenues. We expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things:

If we are unable to successfully commercialize our products or if revenue from any of our products that receives marketing approval is insufficient, we will not achieve profitability. Furthermore, even if we successfully commercialize our products, our planned investments may not result in increased revenue or growth of our business. We may not be able to generate net revenues sufficient to offset our expected cost increases and planned investments in our business. As a result, we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and may not be able to achieve and sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve and sustain profitability, then we may not be able to achieve our business plan, fund our business or continue as a going concern.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and period-to-period comparisons of our results may not be meaningful.

Our quarterly results, including the levels of future revenue, if any, our operating expenses and other costs, and our operating margins, may fluctuate significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of our results may not be meaningful. This may be especially true to the extent that we do not successfully establish our business model. Accordingly, the results of any one period should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. In addition, our quarterly results may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly results include, but are not limited to:

Fluctuations in quarterly results may negatively impact the value of our common stock, regardless of whether they impact or reflect the overall performance of our business. If our quarterly results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow our shares, or below any guidance we may provide, the price of our ordinary shares could decline substantially.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations affect our results of operations, as reported in our financial statements.

We incur expenses in U.S. dollars and in NIS but our functional currency is the U.S. dollar However, a significant portion of our headcount related expenses, consisting principally of salaries and related personnel expenses as well as and R&D consulting services, leases and certain other operating expenses, are denominated in NIS. This foreign currency exposure gives rise to market risk associated with exchange rate movements of the U.S. dollar against the NIS. Furthermore, we anticipate that a material portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in NIS.

In addition, increased international sales in the future may result in greater foreign currency denominated sales, increasing our foreign currency risk. If we are not able to successfully hedge against the risks associated with currency fluctuations, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry and Regulatory Process

Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our business.

Our business strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may put a strain on our administrative and operational resources and funding requirements. Our ability to effectively manage growth will require us to continue to expand the capabilities of our operational and management systems and to attract, train, manage, and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, particularly if losses continue and we are unable to obtain sufficient financing. If we are unable to successfully manage growth, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

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 Director. The loss of Ms. Meir Soffer could have a material adverse effect upon our business prospects. Moreover, our success continues to depend to a significant extent on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train and retain qualified professional, creative, technical and managerial personnel.

Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, attracting, hiring, training, and retaining such personnel in the future. If we are unable to hire, assimilate and retain qualified personnel in the future, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely effected. We may also depend on third party contractors and other partners to assist with the execution of our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in either attracting and retaining qualified personnel, or creating arrangements with such third parties. The failure to succeed in these endeavors would have a material adverse effect on our ability to consummate our business plans.

Failure in the Company’s information technology systems, including by cybersecurity attacks or other data security incidents, could significantly disrupt its operations.

Our operations depend, in part, on the continued performance of our information technology systems. Our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptions. Failure of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business, profitability, and financial condition. Although we have information technology security systems, a successful cybersecurity attack or other data security incident could result in the misappropriation and/or loss of confidential or personal information, create system interruptions, or deploy malicious software that attacks the Company’s systems. It is possible that a cybersecurity attack might not be noticed for some period. The occurrence of a cybersecurity attack or incident could result in business interruptions from the disruption of the Company’s information technology systems, or negative publicity resulting in reputational damage with its shareholders and other stakeholders and/or increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events. In addition, the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information could expose the Company or other third parties to regulatory fines or penalties, litigation, and potential liability, or otherwise harm its business.

We may grow through mergers or acquisitions, which strategy may not be successful or, if successful, may produce risks in successfully integrating and managing the merged companies or acquisition and may dilute our stockholders.

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue mergers and acquisitions of entities and/or assets that we believe will have synergistic and/or other value to us. We currently have no agreements or understandings to merge with or acquire any entity and/or assets, and may not find suitable merger or acquisition opportunities. Mergers and acquisitions involve numerous risks, any of which could harm our business, including, without limitation:

● difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, existing contracts, accounting processes and personnel of the target and realizing the anticipated synergies of the combined businesses;

● difficulties in supporting and transitioning customers of the target company;

● diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

● the price we pay or other resources that we devote may exceed the value we realize, or the value we could have realized if we had allocated the purchase price or other resources to another opportunity;

● entering new markets or areas in which we have limited or no experience;

● potential loss of key associates and customers from either our business or the target’s business;

● assumption of unanticipated problems or latent liabilities of the target; and

● the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs.

Mergers and acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subject to potential impairments in the future and that could harm our financial results. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted, which could affect the market price of our common shares. As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate mergers, acquisitions or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such merger or acquisition, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. The failure to successfully evaluate and execute mergers, acquisitions or investments or otherwise adequately address these risks could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to product liability claims which may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Through our subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel, we manufacture and distribute the ‘Green Side by Side’ product line containing natural and herbal formulas based on researched and science-based plants, herbal extracts, mushrooms and other natural ingredients. As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture and sale of cannabis products involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of cannabis products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the products produced by us caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products.

Product recalls may also harm our reputation

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of our products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. We may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although we have detailed procedures in place for testing finished products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of the products produced by the Company were subject to recall, the image of that product and the Company could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for products produced by the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the operations of the Company by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

Our Officers and Directors may be subject to conflict of interest

The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.

In addition, the Company may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of certain directors and the officers who may from time to time deal with persons, firms, institutions or companies with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by it. The interests of these persons could conflict with those of the Company. In addition, from time to time, these persons may be competing with the Company for available investment opportunities. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, in the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

We face significant competition in the market.

There is potential that we will face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than the Company. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage and in the case of liability the lack of adequate insurance may have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have insurance to protect our assets, operations and employees. While we believe our insurance coverage addresses all material risks to which the Company may be exposed and is adequate and customary in its current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which the Company is exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover the Company’s liabilities or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Company were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if the Company were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or natural disasters, terrorist attacks or acts of war may harm our business.

Epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to us, our employees, our facilities, and our customers, and may negatively impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition in ways that we currently cannot predict.

Failure of new products to gain market acceptance could harm our revenues.

An important aspect of our competitive edge is our ability to develop new products. If we fail to introduce new products on a timely basis and if the new products fail to gain market acceptance or become restricted by regulatory requirements, or have quality problems, we will face adverse results. Factors that could affect our ability to continue launching new products include, among others, limited capital and human resources, government regulations, proprietary protections of competitors and failure to anticipate changes in the market.

We rely on third party to manufacturers to supply our products on a timely basis.

Our products are manufactured by a third-party company, and we have no assurance that our current manufacturer will continue to supply products on a timely basis and according to needed quality and regulatory requirements. Our third-party manufacturer may experience delays in sourcing product ingredients or components on a timely basis, which would result in delays. Operational and liquidity issues of the manufacturer may adversely influence our results. In the case our manufacturer faces any problems or is unable to continue, we will be required to identify and obtain an acceptable replacement.

Research and development and product obsolescence may impair our ability to compete in our target market.

Rapidly changing markets, technology, emerging industry standards and frequent introduction of new products characterize our business. The introduction of new products embodying new technologies, including new manufacturing processes, and the emergence of new industry standards may render our planned product offerings obsolete, less competitive or less marketable. The process of developing our planned products is complex and requires significant continuing costs, development efforts and third party commitments The Company’s failure to develop new technologies and products and the obsolescence of existing technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The Company’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to enhance its existing technologies, develop new technology that addresses the increasing sophistication and varied needs of the market, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of the Company’s proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. The Company may not be successful in using its new technologies or exploiting its niche markets effectively or adapting its businesses to evolving customer or medical requirements or preferences or emerging industry standards.

It may be difficult to enforce a judgment of a U.S. court against us and our executive officers and directors and the Israeli experts named in this prospectus in Israel or the United States, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on our executive officers and directors and these experts.

While we were incorporated in Delaware, substantially all of our executive officers and directors reside outside of the United States, and all of our assets and most of the assets of these persons are located outside of the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained against us, or any of these persons, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not be enforced by an Israeli court. It also may be difficult to effect service of process on these persons in the United States or to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to initiate an action with respect to U.S. securities laws in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact by expert witnesses, which can be a time consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel that addresses the matters described above. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing a judgment against us in Israel, investors may not be able to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.

The continuing prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our operations and our capital raising efforts.

In late 2019, a novel strain of Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China, it has now spread globally. Many countries around the world, have significant governmental measures implemented to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, limited access to nursing homes, hospitals and other medical institutes and other material limitations on the conduct of business. These measures have resulted in work stoppages and other disruptions. Our research and development activities, sales and marketing efforts, as well as our ability to perform clinical trials (if needed) depend, in part, on attendance at in-person meetings, industry conferences and other events, facility visiting, and as a result some of our sales and marketing activities may be halted.

The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, and our ability to perform clinical trials, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We intend to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials (if needed). If these third parties do not meet our deadlines or otherwise conduct the trials as required, our clinical trials programs could be delayed or unsuccessful and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates when expected or at all.

We may conduct clinical studies on our Green Side by Side product line. We do not have the ability to conduct all aspects of our clinical trials ourselves. We intend to use Contract Research Organizations (CROs) to conduct clinical trials that we may be required to conduct and will rely upon medical institutions, clinical investigators and CRO’s and consultants to conduct these trials in accordance with our clinical protocols. Our future CROs, investigators and other third parties play a significant role in the conduct of these trials and the subsequent collection and analysis of data from the clinical trials.

There is no guarantee that any CROs, investigators and other third parties upon which we rely for administration and conduct of clinical trials will devote adequate time and resources to such trials or perform as contractually required. If any of these third parties fail to meet expected deadlines, fail to adhere to our clinical protocols or otherwise perform in a substandard manner, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated. If any of these clinical trial sites terminate for any reason, we may experience the loss of follow-up information on patients enrolled in our ongoing clinical trials unless we are able to transfer the care of those patients to another qualified clinical trial site. In addition, principal investigators for any clinical trials we conduct may serve as scientific advisors or consultants to us from time to time and receive cash or equity compensation in connection with such services. If these relationships and any related compensation result in perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the integrity of the data generated at the applicable clinical trial site may be jeopardized.

Regulation of the Wellness, Botanicals, Cannabis and Pharma Industry

The Green Vision Center activities are subject to different rules and regulations pertaining to the center activity and different products categories, such as manufacturing nutritional supplements, manufacturing pharma products, manufacturing cannabis products, operating laboratories, and more. The company cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by governmental authorities. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would significantly delay the development of markets and products and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

Results of clinical studies are unpredictive.

We may suffer significant setbacks in our clinical studies, and we cannot be certain nor predict such setbacks. This may result from the fact that clinical data may be susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, some products may perform in clinical trials but fail regulatory approval. This may lead to prolonged development time and adverse effect on commercialization.

We may fail to implement strategic alliances

Cyber-attacks or other privacy or data security incidents may result in unintentional dissemination of protected personal information or proprietary or confidential information and result in loss of revenue and increased costs, exposure to liability lawsuits, reputational harm and adverse consequences.

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property

If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product offerings, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection we obtain is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products may be impaired.

Our ability to compete successfully will depend in part on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our products, preserve our trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents on our products and other technologies in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, and the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, or license all necessary or desirable patents or patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner, or in all jurisdictions, or at all, or may choose not to do any of the foregoing.

In October 2021 we filed a provisional patent application on certain aspects of our green product line and this provisional patent application, or any future provisional patent application on certain aspects of our products, may not be eligible to become an issued patent until, among other things, we file a non-provisional patent application within 12 months of the filing date of the applicable provisional patent application. In cases where we have not obtained, or decided not to obtain, patent protection for certain of our inventions, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions.

Moreover, while we have applied for a patent that protect aspects of our products in the United States, we cannot assure that our intellectual property position, will not be challenged or that all patents for which we have applied will be issued on a timely basis or at all, or that such patents will protect our technology, in whole or in part, or be issued in a form that will provide us with meaningful protection, prevent competitors from competing with us, or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. Although patents are presumed valid and enforceable upon issuance, a patent may be challenged as to its inventorship, scope, validity, or enforceability, and certain of our owned or exclusively in-licensed patents have been, and others in the future may be, challenged in the courts or patent offices in the United States and abroad. Our competitors may be able to circumvent our owned patents by developing similar or alternative solutions in a non-infringing manner. Competitors could also set up laboratories outside the countries in which we have filed patent applications in order to compete without infringing upon our intellectual property, even if they process samples from countries in which we do have patent protection. In addition, to the extent we have granted, or may grant in the future, licenses or sublicenses of our intellectual property rights to third parties, we cannot provide any assurance that such intellectual property rights will not be used by those third parties in a manner that could compete with our business or otherwise negatively impact any competitive advantage provided by such intellectual property rights.

Patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the invention claimed in our pending patent application, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability, and commercial value of our patent rights are uncertain. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing, and regulatory review of new products, patents protecting such products might expire before or shortly after such products are commercialized. As a result, any patent portfolio we develop may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There is often litigation between competing companies relying on their respective technologies based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Our future success depends, in part, on not infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology. Any such claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering some portion of our products, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or channel partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses or modify our products, which could further exhaust our resources. Patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against us, whether successful or not, could harm our brand, business, results of operations and financial condition. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and any judgment or injunctive relief entered against us or any adverse settlement could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, litigation can involve significant management time and attention and be expensive, regardless of the outcome. During the course of litigation, there may be announcements of the results of hearings and motions and other interim developments related to the litigation. If securities analysts or investors regard these announcements as negative, the trading price of our ordinary shares may decline.

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

If we attempt enforcement of our patents or other intellectual property rights, we may be subject or party to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation. These claims and any resulting lawsuits, if resolved adversely to us, could subject us to significant liability for damages, impose temporary or permanent injunctions against our solutions or business operations, or invalidate or render unenforceable our intellectual property.

Intellectual property disputes and litigation, regardless of merit, can be costly and disruptive to our business operations by diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel, and by increasing our costs of doing business. Such litigation, regardless of its success, could seriously harm our reputation with our channel partners, business partners and patients and in the industry at large. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent or intellectual property litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our operating results.

Risks Relating to Our Israel Operations

Our development efforts are headquartered in Israel and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by economic restrictions imposed on, and political and military instability in, Israel.

Our development headquarters, which houses substantially all of our research and development team, including engineers, machinists, researchers, and clinical and regulatory personnel as well as the facility of our contract manufacturer and final assembly are located in Israel. Our employees, service providers, directors and officers are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel and the surrounding region may directly affect our business. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade within Israel or between Israel and its trading partners could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Although we plan to maintain inventory in the United States and Germany, an extended interruption could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recent political uprisings, social unrest and violence in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa, including Israel’s neighbors Egypt and Syria, are affecting the political stability of those countries. This instability may lead to deterioration of the political relationships that exist between Israel and these countries and has raised concerns regarding security in the region and the potential for armed conflict. Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, Iran has threatened to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among parties hostile to Israel in areas that neighbor Israel, such as the Syrian government, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Any armed conflicts, terrorist activities or political instability in the region could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations and the operations of our contract manufacturer may be disrupted as a result of the obligation of Israeli citizens to perform military service.

Many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform one month, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve duty until they reach the age of 45 (or older, for reservists with certain occupations) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to terrorist activity, there have been periods of significant call-ups of military reservists. It is possible that there will be additional military reserve duty call-ups in the future in connection with this conflict or otherwise. Some of our employees, consultants and employees of the manufacturer of our products, are required to perform annual military reserve duty in Israel and may be called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Our operations and the operations of our manufacturer could be disrupted by such call-ups.

Our sales may be adversely affected by boycotts of Israel.

Several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. In addition, there have been increased efforts by activists to cause companies and consumers to boycott Israeli goods based on Israeli government policies. Such actions, particularly if they become more widespread, may adversely impact our ability to sell our products.

Risks Related Ownership of Our Securities

A certain group of the Company’s stockholders may exert significant influence over its affairs, including the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.

Currently, a certain group of stockholders, including Ora Elharar Soffer (directly and through Beezz Home Technologies Ltd and Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd) and others, collectively own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, such individuals will have the ability, acting together, to control the election of the Company’s directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, and (iii) amendments to its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to the Company’s other stockholders and be disadvantageous to the Company’s stockholders with interests different from those individuals. Certain of these individuals also have significant control over the Company’s business, policies and affairs as officers or directors of the Company. Therefore, investors should not invest in reliance on their ability to have any control over the Company.

Our executive officers, directors and current beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock and their respective affiliates, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 83% of our outstanding common stock as of October, 2021, and as of the date of this filing. As a result, these persons, acting together, would be able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other significant corporate transactions.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of a maximum 1,500,000 shares of common stock. Any additional financings effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and the substantial dilution in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. In addition, we have reserved 90,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to future awards under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The issuance of such additional shares of common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, may cause the price of our common stock to decline. Additionally, if all or a substantial portion of these shares are resold into the public markets then the trading price of our common stock may decline.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

We currently do not have and may never obtain research coverage by securities analysts.  If no securities analysts commence coverage of our company, or if industry analysts cease coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock could be materially and adversely impacted. In the event we obtain securities analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may be materially and adversely impacted. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

If the price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, your investment could lose value.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, under the symbol “CTGL,” and, to date, has traded on a limited basis. We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “CTGL.” We cannot assure you that an active public market will continue for our common stock. If an active public market for our common stock does not continue, the trading price and liquidity of our common stock will be materially and adversely affected. If there is a thin trading market or “float” for our stock, the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a large float, our common stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment in us. Furthermore, the stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate widely in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes may not be possible to predict and often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price.

Delaware law contains provisions that could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of the Company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of its common stock.

Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition involving the Company that its stockholders may consider favorable. For example, the Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” the Company may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company. An “interested stockholder” is, generally, a stockholder who owns 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of the Company who has owned 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions as described in the DGCL.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock nor are we under any obligation to declare or pay such cash dividends. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund our operations and the development and growth of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our future ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock may be limited by any future debt instruments or preferred securities. As a result, investors may only receive a return on their investment in our common stock if the market price of our common stock increases to a price above the price paid for them and then sell such shares.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide information necessary to understand our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and highlight certain other information which, in the opinion of management, will enhance a reader’s understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the discussion is intended to provide an analysis of significant trends and material changes in our financial position and the operating results of our business during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains numerous forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks described throughout this filing, particularly in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. We have made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements, and although there is currently no major impact, there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Key Financial Terms and Metrics

The following discussion summarizes the key factors our management believes are necessary for an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues

We have not generated any revenues from our current product sales to date.

Research and Development Expenses

The process of researching and developing our products is lengthy, unpredictable, and subject to many risks. We expect to continue incurring substantial expenses for the next several years as we continue to develop our product line. We are unable, with any certainty, to estimate either the costs or the timelines in which those expenses will be incurred. Our current development plans focus on the development of our Green Side by Side Products. The design and development of these devices will consume a large proportion of our current, as well as projected, resources.

Our research and development costs include costs are comprised of:

● internal recurring costs, such as personnel-related costs (salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation and other costs), materials and supplies, facilities and maintenance costs attributable to research and development functions; and

● fees paid to external parties who provide us with contract services, such as preclinical testing, manufacturing and related testing and clinical trial activities.

Marketing

Marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation, and other personnel-related costs associated with executive and other support staff. Other significant marketing expenses include the costs associated with professional fees to develop our marketing strategy.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation, and other personnel-related costs associated with executive, administrative and other support staff. Other significant general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with professional fees for accounting, auditing, insurance costs, consulting and legal services, along with facility and maintenance costs attributable to general and administrative functions.

Financial Expenses

Financial expenses consist primarily impact of exchange rate derived from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies. Other financial expenses include bank’s fees and interest on long term loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 reflects total assets of approximately $1,055,000 consisting mainly of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $270,000, Investments valued under the measurement alternative in the amount of approximately $450,000. The Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, reflects total assets of approximately $3,105,000 consisting mainly of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $206,000, Prepaid share based payment to a service provider in the amount of approximately $1,737,000, Trading Securities in the amount of approximately $522,000 and a short-term loan measured at fair value in the amount of approximately $165,000. The decrease is related mainly to Prepaid share-based payment, investment valued under the measurement alternative and trading securities.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had total current liabilities of approximately $1,064,000 consisting of approximately $838,000 in accrued compensation and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of approximately $226,000. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had total current liabilities of approximately $1,702,000 consisting mainly of convertible notes in the amount of approximately $773,000, accrued compensation in the amount of approximately $304,000 and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of approximately $172,000.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had negative working capital in the amount of approximately $715,000, compared to positive working capital in the amount of approximately $947,000 at December 31, 2020.

The Company’s total liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $2,495,000 and $1,702,000 respectively.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company used approximately $582,000 in its operating activities. This resulted in operating expenses of approximately $3,335,000, net of non-cash items mainly comprised of a decrease in prepaid share based payment to a service provider of approximately $1,737,000, loss from extinguishment in connection with convertible loan restructuring of approximately $620,000, interest accrued on convertible loan of approximately $333,000 and increase in account payables of $589,000.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company used approximately $696,000 in its operating activities. This resulted in operating expenses of approximately $8,315,000, net of non-cash items comprised mainly of an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $7,422,000, interest accrued on convertible loan of approximately $287,000 and increase in account payables of $258,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash provided by investing activities amounted to $286,000, consisting mainly of $389,000 from sale of trading securities and $164,000 from repayments of short term loan. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash used in investing activities amounted to $615,000 mainly as a result of $450,000 investment valued under the measurement alternative and $145,000 of short term loan.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s net cash provided by financing activities was $350,000 comprised of proceeds from the issued convertible notes, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 of approximately $1,170,000 proceeds from the issued convertible notes, $177,000 proceeds from issuance of common stock and $154,000 proceeds from related parties’ loans.

Between June 2021 and January 2022, we received from affiliates the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 1, 2020 loan aggregating $580,000.

Between August 3 – 9, 2021, we sold to an unrelated third party in an off market transaction 619,589 ordinary shares of Intelicanna Ltd., an Israeli medical cannabis company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“Intelicanna”), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of 1,260,611 NIS (approximately $391,500 based on the current exchange rate). Following the sale, the Company no longer holds any Intelicanna shares. As previously reported, the Company obtained the Intelicanna shares in a share exchange agreement entered into with Intelicanna in September 2020.

On April 13, 2021, the Citrine S A L Group has furnished the Company with an irrevocable letter of obligation to support the Company until December 30, 2022 financially. We believe that this commitment will allow the Company to be operational as planned and budgeted through this period (the “Irrevocable Letter”).

Finally, on August 15, 2021, we and the holders of the outstanding loans under the Convertible Loan Agreement entered into an agreement which, among other things, extends the maturity dates of these loans to July 31, 2023, provided that if we consummate prior to maturity an investment of at least $5 million of the Company’s securities, then the Company shall repay the principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes from such proceeds. In addition, these holders confirmed their agreement to honor draw down notice by the Company through March 31, 2022 for the balance of the originally committed amount of $1,800,000 (i.e., $100,000).

Based on the Company’s current cash balances, capital raised during the year ended December 31, 2021, and the Irrevocable Letter, the Company has sufficient funds for its plans for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. As the Company is embarking on its new activity as detailed herein, it is incurring losses. It cannot determine with reasonable certainty when and if it will have sustainable profits.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020

The following table presents our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no revenue, compared to $12,000 in 2020. The decrease in our revenues is mainly attributable to our selling 90% of the shares we held in Novomic Ltd. (“Novomic”) and focusing on our new strategy and business activity, and, therefore, ceasing to consolidate the financial statements of Novomic.

The Company’s research and development expenses increased to $96,000 comprised of ongoing research and development expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately $17,000 during the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable to expenses related to the development of our Green Botanical product line.

The Company’s marketing, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021, were $3,239,000 compared to $8,350,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in our marketing, general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to the decrease in our non-cash share-based compensation expenses, professional services and legal fees offset by increase in professional services.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred financial expenses of $1,181,000, as compared to financial expenses of $322,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The reason for the increase in financial expense was due to $620,000 of loss from extinguishment in connection with convertible loan restructuring.

As a result of the above, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4,516,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to a net loss of approximately $8,639,000 in 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Citrine Global Corp

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citrine Global Corp and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
