NOTE
1 - GENERAL
A. |
Description
of Business |
New
York Global Innovations Inc. (the “Predecessor Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada,
on April 22, 1997. On July 8, 2003, the Predecessor Company effected a reincorporation from Nevada to Delaware through a merger with and
into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inksure Technologies (Delaware) Inc., which was incorporated on September 30, 2003. The surviving corporation
in the merger was Inksure Technologies (Delaware) Inc., which thereupon renamed itself Inksure Technologies Inc. In 2014, following the
sale of its assets to Spectra Systems Corporation, the Predecessor Company changed its name to New York Global Innovations Inc. On August
23, 2016, the Predecessor Company consummated an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Artemis Pharma
Inc.
The
Merger between the Predecessor Company and Artemis was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. As the stockholders of Artemis received
the largest ownership interest in the Predecessor Company, Artemis was determined to be the "accounting acquirer" in the reverse acquisition.
As a result, the historical financial statements of the Predecessor Company were replaced with the historical financial statements of
Artemis. Following the Merger, the Predecessor Company and its subsidiary, Artemis, are collectively referred to as the "Company."
Based
on the lack of Company business activities since January 10, 2019, our Company is classified as a “shell” company as defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
B. |
Establishment
of Artemis (the "accounting acquirer"): |
Artemis
was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 19, 2016. Until January 10, 2019, the Company was engaged in the development of agents
for the prevention and treatment of severe and potentially life-threatening infectious diseases.
On
January 10, 2019, Artemis received a notice regarding the immediate termination of a certain license agreement, dated May 31, 2016 (the
“License Agreement”), executed by and between the Company, Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd. (“Hadasit”)
and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology R and D Corporation Limited (“RDC”). Artemis relied primarily on the
License Agreement with respect to the development of Artemisone, its lead product candidate. Since the termination of the License Agreement,
Artemis no longer has any operating business.

NOTE
1 - GENERAL (Cont.)
C. |
Going Concern:
|
To
date, Artemis has not generated revenues from its activities and has incurred substantial operating losses. Management expects Artemis
to continue to generate substantial operating losses and to continue to fund its operations primarily through additional raises of capital.
Such
conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes
raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it
will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount
and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Additionally,
as discussed above, on January 10, 2019, Artemis received a notice regarding the immediate termination of the License Agreement.
Since
the termination of the license agreement, Artemis no longer has any operating business and is classified as a “shell” company
as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
NOTE
2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. |
Unaudited Interim Financial
Statements |
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
the SEC regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed).
B. |
Use of estimates in the
preparation of financial statements: |
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgment and
assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions
can affect reported amounts and disclosures made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C. |
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash
equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less as of
the date acquired.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
D. |
Fair value of financial
instruments |
The
carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
The
Company measures the fair value of certain of its financial instruments (such as the derivative warrant liabilities) on a recurring basis.
The method of determining the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities is discussed in Note 7B.
A
fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and
liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level
1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level
2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
or liabilities.
E. |
Financial
statement in U.S. dollars: |
The
functional currency of the Company is the U.S dollar ("dollar") since the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Company has operated and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future.
Transactions
and balances denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances denominated in foreign currencies
have been re-measured to dollars in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830-10, "Foreign
Currency Translation".
All
transaction gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in
the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
F. |
Basic
and diluted net loss per share |
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to holders of common
stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of additional shares of common stock that would
have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock had been issued, using the treasury stock method, in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 “Earnings per Share.” Potentially dilutive shares of common stock were excluded
from the diluted loss per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive.
The
weighted average number of shares outstanding has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received by the accounting
acquirer as a result of the reverse merger as if these shares had been outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

NOTE
2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
G. |
Income Tax
|
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” This topic prescribes the use of the liability
method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities. As such, deferred taxes are computed based on the tax rates anticipated (under applicable law as of the
balance sheet date) to be in effect when the deferred taxes are expected to be paid or realized.
H. |
Share-based compensation
|
The
Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses
for all share-based payment awards made to service providers, employees and directors including stock options under the Company's stock
plans based on estimated fair values.
ASC
718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock options using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award
that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's statement of operations.
The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted as share-based payment awards using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. The
option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected
option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility is estimated based on the volatility
of similar companies in the technology sector for equity awards granted prior to the Merger and on the Company's trading share price for
equity awards granted subsequent to the Merger. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue
dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected
stock option term is calculated for stock options granted to employees and directors using the "simplified" method. Grants to non-employees
are based on the contractual term. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the stock options granted
and the results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAX
A. |
Tax
rates applicable to the income |
U.S.
corporate tax
The
maximum statutory federal tax rate in the U.S. is 21%.
The Company is not subject to current federal taxes, as it has incurred losses.
Israel
corporate tax
The
Company's subsidiary in Israel is subject to income tax at a regular corporate tax of 23%.
B. |
Deferred
income taxes |
As
the Company has not yet generated revenues, it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be available for the tax
losses to be utilized in the future. Therefore, a valuation allowance was recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to its recoverable
amounts.

NOTE
6 - Computation of Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss, as adjusted, to include the dividend participation rights of preferred shares outstanding during the relevant fiscal year, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant fiscal year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss, as adjusted, to include the dividend participation rights of preferred shares outstanding during the relevant fiscal year as well as of preferred shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive preferred shares had been issued, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant fiscal year, plus the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock had been issued, using the treasury stock method, in accordance with ASC 260-10 “Earnings per Share”.
The
loss and weighted average number of common stock used in the calculation of basic loss per share are as follows (in thousands, except

In

B. |
Issuance
of Shares (Cont.) |
The warrants to purchase 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock contain a full ratchet anti-dilution price protection so that, in most situations upon the issuance of any common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price below the then-existing exercise price of the outstanding warrants, the warrant exercise price will be reset to the lower common stock sales price.
As
such anti-dilution price protection did not meet the specific conditions for equity classification as of the date of issuance of the warrants,
the Company was required to classify the fair value of these warrants as a liability, with changes in fair value to be recorded as income
(loss) due to change in fair value of warrant liability. The estimated fair value of such derivative warrant liability at issuance date,
was approximately $319.

NOTE
9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
March 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Manuka Ltd, an Israeli
company (the “Manuka”) and the shareholders of Manuka (the “Shareholders”). Since its inception, Manuka’s
business activities primarily consisted of distributing Manuka honey imported from New Zealand, developing and distributing supplements
aimed at the beauty and skincare markets and, developing and manufacturing skincare products based on New Zealand’s manuka honey
and bee venom, among other natural ingredients. The Share Exchange Agreement provides that, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions
set forth therein, on the closing date (the “Closing”), the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Manuka (the
“Manuka Shares”) from the Shareholders in exchange for an aggregate of 92,446,687
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Consideration Shares”), such that the Shareholders will hold, immediately
following the Closing, eighty-nine percent (89%)
of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. At Closing, should it be required as a condition by the Israeli Tax Authority
to affect a tax ruling to approve the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Tax Ruling”), the Manuka
Shares and the Consideration Shares will be placed in escrow with a third-party escrow agent pending the Closing. As required under Israeli
law, following the Closing, and upon receipt of regulatory approvals, Manuka will become the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
Following the Closing, (i) the Manuka Shares will be released to the Company and (ii) the Consideration Shares will be released to the
Shareholders. To the extent required pursuant to the Tax Ruling, prior to the Closing, the parties will engage a trustee (the “103K
Trustee”) under a separate trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), who shall hold in trust (i) all Manuka Shares for
the benefit of the Company, and (ii) all Consideration Shares for the benefit of Shareholders, with the foregoing being respectively released
to the designated beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Tax Ruling. The Share Exchange Agreement contains customary
representations and warranties from each party to the agreement, and each party has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others,
covenants relating to (1) the conduct of each of Manuka’s and the Company’s business during the period between the execution
of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Closing, and (2) no transfer of Manuka Shares by the Shareholders during the period between the
execution of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Closing.

The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, related notes and other information included
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Until
January 10, 2019, we were engaged in the development of agents for the prevention and treatment of severe and potentially life-threatening
infectious diseases. On January 10, 2019, we received a notice regarding the immediate termination of a certain license agreement, dated
May 31, 2016 (the “License Agreement”), executed by and between the Company, Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development
Ltd. and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology R and D Corporation Limited. We relied primarily on the License Agreement
with respect to the development of Artemisone, our former lead product candidate. Since the termination of the License Agreement,
the Company no longer has any operating business.
We
believe that we will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and
will not be able to return to positive cash flow without either obtaining additional financing in the near term or completing a business
transaction. We have experienced difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising capital and there can be no assurance
that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, or be able to complete a business transaction. If
additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities or completing a business transaction, our existing stockholders
will experience significant dilution. In order to conserve our cash and manage its liquidity, we have implemented cost-cutting initiatives
including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.
Our
Board of Directors is exploring strategic alternatives, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company or the sale
of the public shell company. In that regard, on March 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange
Agreement”) with Manuka Ltd, an Israeli company (the “Manuka”) and the shareholders of Manuka (the “Shareholders”).
Since its inception, Manuka’s business activities primarily consisted of distributing Manuka honey imported from New Zealand, developing
and distributing supplements aimed at the beauty and skincare markets and, developing and manufacturing skincare products based on New
Zealand’s manuka honey and bee venom, among other natural ingredients. The Share Exchange Agreement provides that, upon the terms,
and subject to the conditions set forth therein, on the closing date (the “Closing”), the Company will acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Manuka (the “Manuka Shares”) from the Shareholders in exchange for an aggregate of 92,446,687 shares
of the Company’s common stock (the “Consideration Shares”), such that the Shareholders will hold, immediately following
the Closing, eighty-nine percent (89%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. At Closing, should it be required
as a condition by the Israeli Tax Authority to affect a tax ruling to approve the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement
(the “Tax Ruling”), the Manuka Shares and the Consideration Shares will be placed in escrow with a third-party escrow agent
pending the Closing. As required under Israeli law, following the Closing, and upon receipt of regulatory approvals, Manuka will become
the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Following the Closing, (i) the Manuka Shares will be released to the Company and (ii) the
Consideration Shares will be released to the Shareholders. To the extent required pursuant to the Tax Ruling, prior to the Closing, the
parties will engage a trustee (the “103K Trustee”) under a separate trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), who
shall hold in trust (i) all Manuka Shares for the benefit of the Company, and (ii) all Consideration Shares for the benefit of Shareholders,
with the foregoing being respectively released to the designated beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Tax
Ruling. The Share Exchange Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each party to the agreement, and each party
has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of each of Manuka’s and the Company’s
business during the period between the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Closing, and (2) no transfer of Manuka Shares
by the Shareholders during the period between the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Closing. There is no guarantee that
the Company will be able to close the Share Exchange Agreement or conduct the Closing.

THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands)
REVENUES.
We did not have any revenue-producing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or for the three months ended March
31, 2021.
PROFIT
FROM SALE OF OPERATIONS, NET. We did not incur a profit from the sale of operations in the three months ended March
31, 2022 or the three months ended March 31, 2021.
COST
OF REVENUES. We had no cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or for the three months ended March 31, 2021,
due to the fact that we had no revenue-producing operations.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. We incurred no research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or for the
three months ended March 31, 2021, due to the termination of the License Agreement resulting in the Company no longer having business
operations.
SELLING
AND MARKETING EXPENSES. We did not incur any selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, or for the
three months ended March 31, 2021,due to us no longer having business operations.
20
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. We incurred $28 in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared
to $35 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which consisted primarily of compensation costs for administrative, finance and general
management personnel, legal, accounting and administrative costs and option expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses
is primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and due to us no longer having business operations.
FINANCIAL
(EXPENSE) INCOME, NET. We incurred $2 in financial expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021.
OTHER
EXPENSES. We incurred no other expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021.
NET
LOSS. We incurred a net loss of $30 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $36 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a decrease of $7 in general and administrative expenses and an increase of $1 in financial
expenses.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As
of March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,515 and a negative working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of
$522. Losses will probably continue for the foreseeable future.
We
do not have any material capital commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2022.
We have sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which have resulted in a significant reduction in our cash reserves.
Due to the termination of the License Agreement, the Company no longer has any business operations. The Company believes that it will
continue to experience losses and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without
obtaining additional financing in the near term or entering into a business transaction. The Company has experienced difficulties accessing
the equity and debt markets and raising capital or entering into a business transaction, and there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all or entering into a business transaction. If additional funds
are raised through the issuance of equity securities or entering into a business transaction, the Company’s existing stockholders
will experience significant further dilution. In order to conserve the Company’s cash and manage its liquidity, the Company has
implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.
On May 15, 2019, the Company issued two unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000. In that regard, one
Note, with a principal aggregate balance of $50,000, was issued to KNRY Ltd., an entity related to Nadav Kidron, the natural person with
voting and dispositive power over the securities held by Tonak Ltd., the Company’s largest shareholder. $20,000 of the funds relating
to KNRY Ltd.’s Note were received by the Company on March 22, 2019. The balance of the funds relating to KNRY Ltd.’s Note
was received by the Company on April 4, 2019. In addition, one Note, with an aggregate principal balance of $50,000, was issued to Cutter
Mill Capital LLC, an existing shareholder of the Company. Each Note accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum until the Note is repaid
in full. All payments of principal, interest and other amounts under each Note are payable by June 30, 2021. The proceeds of the Notes
were used by the Company for general working capital purposes.
In addition, on November 4, 2021, the Company issued two Subsequent Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $60,000, with original
issuance dates of August 15, 2021 and September 19, 2021. In that regard, one Subsequent Note, with a principal aggregate balance of $30,000,
was issued to KNRY Ltd., an entity related to Nadav Kidron, the natural person with voting and dispositive power over the securities held
by Tonak Ltd., the Company’s largest shareholder and one Subsequent Note, with an aggregate principal balance of $30,000, was issued
to Harmony (H.A.) Investments Ltd. Each Subsequent Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum until the Subsequent Note is repaid
in full. All payments of principal, interest and other amounts under each Subsequent Note are payable by December 19, 2021. The proceeds
of the Notes were used by the Company for general working capital purposes.
21
The
Company is currently in default on the Notes and the Subsequent Notes and intends to negotiate an extension for their repayment, however
there is no guarantee that we will be successful in doing so.
As of March 31, 2022, we had accumulated liabilities of $529.
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $1 for the period then
ended. The negative cash flow from operating activities in the period ended March 31, 2022 is attributable mainly to the net loss of $30,
share-based compensation expenses of $4, a decrease in other accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $1 and an increase in accrued
expenses and other payables of $26.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under
the direction of the Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, and as a result
of the material weaknesses described below, the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of March 31, 2022.
No
change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
Our
management has worked, and continues to work, to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to ensuring
that such controls are designed and operating effectively. We intend to remediate the material weakness in internal controls identified
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, subject to possessing sufficient financial means to do
so, by hiring internal staff to our financial department to assist our Chief Financial Officer as well as intend to form an audit committee
comprised of independent directors with sufficient financial reporting experience.
