NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Citrine Global, Corp. (“Citrine Global” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 26, 2010. The Company’s common stock is traded in the United States on the OTCQB market under the ticker symbol “CTGL.”

On June 3, 2020 the Company established a wholly owned new Israeli subsidiary: CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd, (the “Israeli Subsidiary”).

On July 21, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary began to work with certain Company shareholders, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. (“Beezzhome”), in which Ora Elharar Soffer, the Company’s chairperson and CEO holds shares, and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., in which Ilan Ben-Ishai, a former director of the Company, holds shares, have been working towards establishing an Operational Innovation Center focuses on plant based wellness and pharma products and solutions. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with preparations for entering into an agreement to incorporate a new company, named Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (“Cannovation”), with Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., and to accept limitations on the Israeli Subsidiary’s rights in the Cannovation Center if and as mandated under Israeli regulations on the involvement of foreign entities. On August 20, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd., and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. incorporated Cannovation. Israeli Subsidiary holds 60% of Cannovation’s shares, while each of Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. holds 20% of its shares.

On August 4, 2020, the Board of the Company approved for the Company and its Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd., (an affiliate) an Israeli nutritional supplements’ company developing and manufacturing botanical formulas and nutritional supplements for custom & contract manufacturing for leading botanical companies (“iBOT”). The principal shareholders and control persons of iBOT are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairperson. iBOT has a manufacturing facility for a wide range of botanical formulations. iBOT’s manufacturing facility is approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health and is GMP-certified, ISO 9001-certified and HACCP certified by IQC. On August 4, 2020, the Board of Directors approved for the Company and Citrine Global Israel to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT. On August 9, 2021, through the 60% owned subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel, the Company 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.

In November 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 iBot 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”). If the Citrine Global Group elects to exercise the Pre-Emption Right, such purchase is to take place at no more than 90 days following the expiration of the 10 day notice period to the Citrine Global Group. 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.

In November 2022 the Company and iBOT agreed to extend to March 31, 2023 the pre-emption right previously granted to the Company with respect to any equity or equity linked securities that iBOT proposes to issue to an unrelated third party with aggregate gross proceeds to iBOT exceeding $1 million or which will result 51% in a change in control in iBOT following such issuance. In March 2023, the Company and iBOT agreed to further extend to December 31, 2023 such right.

Stock split

On June 10, 2022, certain of the Company’s stockholders representing more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding share capital (the “Majority Consenting Stockholders”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment”) in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a range of between 50-to-1 and 700-to-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each fifty or seven hundred shares of common stock (or any whole number within such range), as shall be determined by the Board at a later time, will be automatically converted, without any further action by the stockholders, into one share of common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder of the Company will be entitled to receive one share of common stock in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment will be effective upon receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, both of which were not completed as of the date of the approval of the financial statements.

Financial support

The Company has not yet to generate revenues and is dependent on raising funds from its current shareholders or from other sources. On April 13, 2021, Citrine S A L, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and related parties, has furnished the Company with an irrevocable letter of obligation to financially support the Company until June 30, 2022. On March 17, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd. extended this support through June 30, 2023. On August 14, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd. further extended this support through June 30, 2024.

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

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

The Company has no significant firm commitments that require it to remit cash and can control the level of expenses it incurs. Based on the Company’s current cash balances, and the access to the Credit Facility noted above, management believes the Company will have sufficient funds for its plans for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. As the Company is embarking on its business plan, it is incurring losses. It cannot determine with reasonable certainty when and if it will have sustainable profits.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include fair value estimates of derivative liabilities and assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value, as defined by ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF RESENTATION (cont.)

Fair value (cont.)

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: (i) the market approach; (ii) the income approach; and (iii) the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), (ii) segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and (iii) a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of operations.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

The following table presents the changes in fair value of the level 3 assets and liabilities for the period ended March 31, 2023:

 SCHEDULE OF CHANGES IN FAIR VALUE OF LIABILITIES

Credit line issuance costs

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

NOTE 3 – STOCK OPTIONS

On March 5, 2023, the Board of the Company determined that in the event that the Company’s stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then one half of the awarded but unvested option grants made in each of August 2021 and in August 2022, including to officers, directors, will immediately vest at such time. In addition, the Board also determined to provide that following the termination of services by an officer, director or a selected service provider for any reason other than cause, such person shall have a one year period from the date of termination to exercise any option that was vested at the time of the termination of services.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT VALUED UNDER THE MEASUREMENT ALTERNATIVE

The Company purchased from the Shareholders an aggregate of 44,328 ordinary shares of MyPlant (the “MyPlant Shares”) representing, on a fully diluted basis, 10% of the outstanding MyPlant Shares, in consideration for the payment of $444,444 by the issuance by the Company to the selling Shareholders of an aggregate of 9,259,250 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Under the terms of the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company purchased from the MyPlant shareholders an aggregate of 44,328 ordinary shares of MyPlant (the “MyPlant Shares”) representing, on a fully diluted basis, 10% of the outstanding MyPlant Shares, in consideration of $444,444 payable by the issuance by the Company to the MyPlant shareholders of an aggregate of 9,259,250 shares of common stock. In addition, under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company granted an option by the MyPlant shareholders to purchase an additional 35% of MyPlant Shares, on a fully diluted basis (the “Shareholders Option”), in consideration of $1,555,556 payable by the issuance of up to 32,407,417 shares of our common stock to the MyPlant shareholders, and a separate option by MyPlant to purchase an additional 10% of the MyPlant Shares, on a fully diluted basis (the “MyPlant Option”), in consideration of $444,444, which is payable, in the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or in the issuance to MyPlant of up to 9,259,250 shares of our common stock.

Said options are exercisable through September 30, 2023 (the “Option Expiry Date”). If both the shareholders Option and the Company Options are exercised, the Company will hold 55% of MyPlant Shares, on a fully diluted basis. Under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company is authorized to continue its due diligence through the Option Expiry Date. The number of shares is subject to adjustment in respect of any stock split or other recapitalization of the Company.

CITRINE GLOBAL, CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

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

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

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

Fair Value Proportional Allocation

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

 SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF CONVERTIBLE FEATURE USING VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

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

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

 SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE PROPORTION ALLOCATION

Under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, MyPlant granted to the Company the exclusive right to utilize MyPlant’s activities as specified in the agreement, including without limitation, the screening platforms using cell line models for certain diseases and conditions to detect effective plant materials and/or other substances for the treatment of these conditions and a and a right of first opportunity to commercialize intellectual property developed by MyPlant that is in the Company’s (or its subsidiaries’) field of business, provided that, if by December 31, 2023 the Company does not exercise either of the Shareholders Option or the MyPlant Option and/or enter into a service agreement with MyPlant, then the exclusive rights shall terminate but the right of first opportunity to commercialize intellectual property developed by MyPlant shall continue thereafter until June 31, 2024, unless such rights have been extended beyond such date under the terms to be agreed in the service agreement entered into by the Company and Citrine Global. In addition, under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, Cannasoul, MyPlant’s majority Shareholder, agreed to not compete with MyPlant’s activities.

The Company was granted observer rights on the MyPlant board of Directors (the “MyPlant Board”). Following the exercise by Citrine Global of the Shareholders Option, the MyPlant Board shall be comprised of four (4) directors of which MyPlant will be authorized to designate two of such directors.

CITRINE GLOBAL, CORP.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

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

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

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

As provided for under the terms of the Convertible Note Agreement, Citrine 7 will be issued 6,666,667 warrants for shares of common stock, where the Series A and B warrants are exercisable through August 9, 2027 at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.

The Company concluded that the change in term does not constitute a trouble debt restructuring. Thereafter, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments. The accounting treatment is determined by whether terms of the new debt and original debt are substantially different.

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

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

The components of the new loan were valuated as follows:

Conversion feature

In accordance with ASC 815-15-25 the conversion feature was considered a liability classified embedded derivative instrument, and is to be recorded at its fair value separately from the convertible notes, within non-current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The conversion component is then remeasured at fair value at each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.

CITRINE GLOBAL, CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by third party appraiser as weighted average of the two possible scenarios of the total convertible notes amount conversion (20% probability for scenario 1 and 80% probability for scenario 2):

The scenario in which the convertible loan would be converted prior to its maturity (scenario 1) was estimated by the appraiser using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, to compute the fair value of the derivative and to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The following are the data and assumptions used as of issuance dates and as of the balance sheet date:

SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF CONVERTIBLE FEATURE USING VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

The scenario in which the Company would raise at least $5 million prior to conversion of the convertible loan (scenario 2) was estimated by the appraiser at no fair value since it was estimated that along with such raise the convertible loans would be converted at market price.

The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by the third-party appraiser after giving effect to the weighted average of the two possible scenarios as of issuance dates was $8 thousands.

Warrants

The fair value of the warrants as of January 30, 2023 was estimated at $268 thousands using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is presented within the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity (deficit).

The following are the data and assumptions used:

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

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.

Our IP Strategy and R&D Roadmap include:

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

Side effects are unexpected reactions which may result from using medicines, treatments and an unbalanced lifestyle. 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 and treatments¹⁰.

The public health impact of harms associated with medicines and treatments is a growing area of investigation, given the expanding pharma industry and widespread availability of drugs and different medical treatments around the world. Current evidence suggests that use of medicines is associated with side effects. Exploring the relationship between drug side-effects and therapeutic indications demonstrates that 69% of drugs have between 10 and 100 different side effects¹¹.

Treatment of side-effects, or adverse drug reactions, has become a healthcare concern¹². The new market of Pharmacovigilance, also known as drug safety – the pharmaceutical science relating to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products – is developing and expected to reach $12.48 Billion in 2027. Driving this are increasing public awareness and demand for safer medications and increasing government initiatives to promote drug safety around the globe¹³.

We believe that natural plant-based products show great promise in improving quality of life and can be used as complementary products to balance side effects. Antibiotics and probiotics are an excellent use case. Antibiotics are important for treating bacterial infections; however, they can sometimes cause side effects such as diarrhea, liver disease and changes to the gut microbiota. Using probiotics during and after a treatment with antibiotics can help reduce the risk of diarrhea and restore the gut microbiota to a healthy state¹⁴.

Addressing a significant market need, we included in our strategy the development of plant based complementary solutions through wellness as well as clinically developing plant-based pharmaceutical products to address the need to balance selected effects and support people who experience side effects from using medicines, cannabis, and various treatments.

Our Plant-based product lines categories:

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