PART I
SEEDO CORP. (f/k/a GRCR Partners Inc.) (the “Company”, “Our” or “We”) was formed on January 16, 2015 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Prior to September 14th, 2018, we were solely a provider of risk management and asset protection (“RAP”) services for businesses, individuals and families. On September 14th, 2018, (“the Company”) executed an Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement with Eroll Grow Tech Ltd. (“Eroll”), an Israeli Corporation that was formed on May 18th, 2015 under the laws of the state of Israel. On September 17, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted an Amendment to its Articles, changing the name of the Corporation to SEEDO CORP. The State of Delaware effectuated said change on September 21, 2018; and on November 5, 2018, FINRA granted effectiveness for said change and the new ticker Symbol ”SEDO”. Post-Acquisition, SEEDO CORP changed its main business focus to Eroll’s business activities while continuing with some RAP activities.
Eroll was focused on producing automated plant growing devices managed and controlled by an artificial intelligent algorithm, allowing consumers to grow their own herbs and vegetables from seed to plant, while providing optimal conditions to assure premium quality produce year-round.
During the third quarter of 2019, Eroll was experiencing financial and operational difficulties and on December 10, 2019, Mr. Zohar Levy, the Company’s CEO at the time, on behalf of Eroll filed a petition (the “Petition”) for a debt settlement in the Nazareth District Court (the “Court”), in accordance with Section 321 of Chapter A of Part G of the Israeli Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, seeking a debt settlement and a suspension of proceedings in order to protect Eroll’s creditors from economic damages and other future damages and to allow the Eroll to maintain its business while seeking a proposal of an acquisition of the Eroll and/or its activities and assets.
In the petition, Eroll requested that the Court authorize its entering into a loan agreement with a potential buyer, as a temporary solution until a definitive agreement is signed, and to issue an order calling for a creditors’ meeting within 10 days and appointment of a trustee, who will negotiate a definitive agreement with the potential buyer.
The Company is not included in such proceedings and is not otherwise involved in any bankruptcy proceedings.
On December 11, 2019, Eroll received an offer to acquire Eroll and/or its assets and business from a potential buyer (the “Potential Buyer” and the “Acquisition Offer” respectively). As part of the Acquisition Offer, the Potential Buyer agreed to provide a bridge loan in the amount of $400,000 (the “Bridge Loan”) to be repaid within 20 days, which the Eroll will use for payroll, payment of debt to a certain Chinese manufacturer, and certain other enumerated urgent payments necessary to keep Eroll’s assets active.
To ensure the repayment of the loan within 20 days, if the Acquisition Offer is not approved and the loan is not repaid on time, the Potential Buyer was to receive the rights to all of the products in inventory and productions at the Chinese manufacture and Eroll’s warehouse. Additionally, the Potential Buyer was to receive an irrevocable power of attorney and authorization of Eroll to act directly with the Chinese manufacture.
On December 17, 2019, the Court approved Eroll’s entering into the Acquisition Offer, on condition that the Bridge Loan will be repaid by purchasing all of Eroll’s inventory in China, the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, and subject to the Court’s approval of any transfer of Eroll’s inventory. Additionally, the Court issued an order of suspension and stay of all legal proceedings against Eroll.
On December 19, 2019, the Court appointed a debt settlement manager, who will have the authority to determine if an alternative settlement is appropriate.
Due to the fact that Eroll was not able to secure the Bridge Loan under the conditions determined by the Court, on January 2, 2020, the Settlement Manager filed a request to the Court for entering into an interim funding agreement with the Potential Buyer (the “Interim Funding Agreement”). As part of the Interim Funding Agreement, the Potential Buyer agreed to provide a loan in the amount of $294,000 (the “Loan”), which the Eroll was to use for payroll, and certain other enumerated urgent payments necessary to keep Eroll’s assets active, until a creditors meeting is convened in order to approve a debt settlement based on a final acquisition offer from the Potential Buyer. To ensure the repayment of the Loan, the Potential Buyer was to receive a lien over certain intellectual property of Eroll, future payments to Eroll from PayPal and Eroll’s property.
1
On January 5, 2020, the Court approved the Settlement Managers’ request to enter into the Interim Funding Agreement.
Additionally, on January 8, 2020, the Court issued an order of stay of all legal proceedings against Eroll, and an order prohibiting any disposition of the Eroll’s property. Any transfer of any of Eroll’s property and rights, including patents, shall be done subject to the Courts approval. In addition, the Court ordered that Eroll will continue its activities temporarily, and appointed the Settlement Manager as Eroll’s trustee, who will, among others, convene a creditor’s meeting to approve a debt settlement based on a final acquisition offer from the Potential Buyer, to be convened no later than January 19, 2020.
On March 25, 2020, the Nazareth District Court of the State of Israel (the “Court”) approved the purchase of all of Eroll Grow Tech Ltd.’s (“Eroll”) assets by a non-related third-party entity named Seedo Agriculture Ltd. Therefore, from the closing of such purchase, the Company no longer has any legal ties nor privity with Eroll. The Company is focusing on its in-house research and development of agriculture technology products, among others, in the fields of exotic plants and mushrooms.
On July 19, 2020, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Hachevra Legiduley Pkaot Beisrael Ltd. (the “New Subsidiary”), to develop a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing saffron and other vegetables. On November 5, 2020, the New Subsidiary changed its name to Saffron-Tech Ltd. (or “Saffron”).
The Company, through Saffron, plans to roll out its proof of concept in the coming months. This technology will provide turnkey automated growing containers for high-quality, high-yield saffron all year round. The Company is in advanced stages of developing and testing a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing high-quality, high-yield saffron anywhere and anytime.
The Company’s technology offers a controlled environment based on the Company’s deep knowledge in plant biology. The technology provides optimal conditions for each stage of the plant’s development to reach optimal product quality.
The Company’s proof of concept utilizes the “Grow Next to Consumer” policy and is therefore sustainable and fit the COVID-19 restrictions on transport. It is also environmentally friendly, using economic levels of water, space, fertilizer, and energy. Accounting to the Company’s calculations, we believe that the controlled indoor growing area will produce ten times more yield compared to the same land area using traditional methods. The sealed environment eliminates the need for harmful pesticides and herbicides, producing a clean and safe product that is easy to control from anywhere. The Company’s solution is easily scalable and pre-designed to quickly grow operations.
Saffron is used in many industries, such as the food industry, particularly by famous chefs and Michelin starred restaurants, the natural cosmetics industry and the natural medicine industry and as a dye in the textile industry. Medicinal claims as an anti-depressant, antioxidant, and antiseptic are constantly increasing.
The global saffron market size was valued at $1 Billion in 2019 and is anticipated to attain a revenue based CAGR of 7.3% from 2020 to 2027. The market is expected to grow over the next few years on account of demand from the pharmaceutical sector, particularly in countries with rapid population expansion.
Since the incorporation Saffron Tech, Saffron Tech has hired one employee and several consultants to commence the roll out of our proof of concept. Saffron Tech has signed several agreements with Israeli companies, including Growin Ltd (“Growin”) and the Israeli Ministry of Agricultures research organization – The Volcani Center (“Volcani”). Growin is an owner of proprietary systems for indoor agriculture and Saffron Tech has acquired the exclusive right to market, sell and commercialize our product based on the Growin’s hydroponic machines. Volcani will assist Saffron Tech in writing the protocols required to grow saffron in a controlled and automated way, including the use of robotics and AI.
On August 7 and 11, 2020, the Company executed Securities Purchase Agreement of convertible debentures (“Convertible Debentures”), and ancillary agreements with YAII PN, Ltd., and Mr. Shmuel Yannay (collectively, the “Investors”) in the aggregate amount of $300,000 (the “Agreements”). Per the terms of the Agreements, the Convertible Debentures have a maturity date of August 7, 2022 (“Maturity Date”) and accrue annual interest at a rate of 10%.
2
The Convertible Debentures are convertible by the Investors into common stock of the Company, at their discretion, at the lower of a fixed price of $0.102 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the “Market Conversion Price”).
Prior to the Maturity Date of the Convertible Debentures, provided that the VWAP of the Company’s common stock is below the Fixed Conversion Price and there is no Equity Conditions Failures as defined in the Agreements, the Company at its option, has the right to redeem in cash in part or in whole, the amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debentures plus a redemption premium equal to 10% of the amount being redeemed plus outstanding and accrued interest.
Pursuant to the Agreements we also issued to the Investors warrants to purchase 750,000 Shares’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 5 years.
Pursuant to the Agreements, we shall use the net proceeds for immediate cash infusion for ordinary working capital purposes. The Agreement does not contain any right of first refusal, participation rights or penalties. YAII PN Ltd. has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any short-selling or hedging of our Common Stock during any time.
During November 2020 through to February 2021, the Company continued to raise funds to support its operations and received $855,000 from third party investors and issued convertible promissory notes in respect thereof (“Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes bear no interest, are convertible into Shares based on a fixed conversion price of $0.10 per share and mature between 12 and 24 months from the issuance date. Pursuant to Promissory Notes one of the investors received warrants to purchase 660,000 Shares’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of 1 year.
On December 24, 2020, Saffron Tech, announced its intention to raise up to 5 million New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) (approximately $1.6 million) at a pre-money valuation of NIS 20 million (approximately $6.225 million) through the Israeli crowd funding platform – Pipelbiz “Crowd Funding Round”). Assuming the maximum amount is raised, the Company will own approximately 80% of the Saffron Tech. The Crowd Funding Round was closed on February 16, 2021 having raised the full amount

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware Corporation Law allows for the indemnification of officers, directors, and any corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses, incurred arising under the 1933 Act. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law and such right to indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and Consultants; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company will not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred will include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those conferred to directors and officers of the Company. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses are subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act to the extent applicable.
Furthermore, the Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another company against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Penny Stock Regulation
Our shares must comply with the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, which may potentially decrease our shareholders’ ability to easily transfer their shares. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that must comply with the penny stock rules. Since our shares must comply with such penny stock rules, our shareholders will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their securities.

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated financial statements, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows of Seedo, Corp, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the interim periods included herein. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Executive Overview
SEEDO CORP. (f/k/a GRCR Partners Inc.) (the “Company”, “Our” or “We”) was formed on January 16, 2015 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Prior to September 14, 2018, we were solely a provider of risk management and asset protection (“RAP”) services for businesses, individuals and families. On September 14th, 2018, (“the Company”) executed an Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement with Eroll Grow Tech Ltd. (“Eroll”), an Israeli Corporation that was formed on May 18, 2015 under the laws of the state of Israel. On September 17, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted an Amendment to its Articles, changing the name of the Corporation to SEEDO CORP. The State of Delaware effectuated said change on September 21, 2018; and on November 5, 2018, FINRA granted effectiveness for said change and the new ticker Symbol ”SEDO”. Post-Acquisition, SEEDO CORP changed its main business focus to Eroll’s business activities while continuing with some RAP activities.
Eroll was focused on producing automated plant growing devices managed and controlled by an artificial intelligent algorithm, allowing consumers to grow their own herbs and vegetables from seed to plant, while providing optimal conditions to assure premium quality produce year-round.
During the third quarter of 2019, Eroll was experiencing financial and operational difficulties and on December 10, 2019, Mr. Zohar Levy, the Company’s CEO at the time, on behalf of Eroll filed a petition (the “Petition”) for a debt settlement in the Nazareth District Court (the “Court”), in accordance with Section 321 of Chapter A of Part G of the Israeli Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, seeking a debt settlement and a suspension of proceedings in order to protect Eroll’s creditors from economic damages and other future damages and to allow the Eroll to maintain its business while seeking a proposal of an acquisition of the Eroll and/or its activities and assets.
On March 25, 2020, the Nazareth District Court of the State of Israel (the “Court”) approved the purchase of all of Eroll Grow Tech Ltd.’s (“Eroll”) assets by a non-related third party entity named Seedo Agriculture Ltd. Therefore, from the closing of such purchase, the Company no longer has any legal ties nor privity with Eroll. The Company is focusing on its in-house research and development of agriculture technology products, among others, in the fields of exotic plants and mushrooms.
On July 19, 2020, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Hachevra Legiduley Pkaot Beisrael Ltd. (the “New Subco”), to develop a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing saffron and other vegetables. On November 5, 2020, the New Subco changed its name to Saffron-Tech Ltd (or “Saffron”).
The Company, through Saffron, plans to roll out its proof of concept in the coming months. This technology will provide turnkey automated growing containers for high-quality, high-yield saffron all year round. The Company is in advanced stages of developing and testing a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing high-quality, high-yield saffron anywhere and anytime.
The Company’s technology offers a controlled environment based on the Company’s deep knowledge in plant biology. The technology provides optimal conditions for each stage of the plant’s development to reach optimal product quality.

The Company, through Saffron Tech, plans to roll out its proof of concept in the coming months. This technology will provide turnkey automated growing containers for high-quality, high-yield saffron all year round. The Company is in advanced stages of developing and testing a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing high-quality, high-yield saffron anywhere and anytime.
The Company’s technology offers a controlled environment based on the Company’s deep knowledge in plant biology. The technology provides optimal conditions for each stage of the plant’s development to reach optimal product quality.
The Company’s proof of concept utilizes the “Grow Next to Consumer” policy and is therefore sustainable and fit the COVID-19 restrictions on transport. It is also environmentally friendly, using economic levels of water, space, fertilizer, and energy. Accounting to the Company’s calculations, we believe that the controlled indoor growing area will produce ten times more yield compared to the same land area using traditional methods. The sealed environment eliminates the need for harmful pesticides and herbicides, producing a clean and safe product that is easy to control from anywhere. The Company’s solution is easily scalable and pre-designed to quickly grow operations.
Saffron is used in many industries, such as the food industry, particularly by famous chefs and Michelin starred restaurants, the natural cosmetics industry and the natural medicine industry and as a dye in the textile industry. Medicinal claims as an anti-depressant, antioxidant, and antiseptic are constantly increasing.
The global saffron market size was valued at USD 1 Billion in 2019 and is anticipated to attain a revenue based CAGR of 7.3% from 2020 to 2027. The market is expected to grow over the next few years on account of demand from the pharmaceutical sector, particularly in countries with rapid population expansion.
Since the incorporation Saffron Tech, Saffron Tech has hired one employee and several consultants to commence the roll out of our proof of concept. Saffron Tech has signed several agreements with Israeli companies, including Growin Ltd (“Growin”) and the Israeli Ministry of Agricultures research organization – The Volcani Center (“Volcani”). Growin is an owner of proprietary systems for indoor agriculture and Saffron Tech has acquired the exclusive right to market, sell and commercialize our product based on the Growin’s hydroponic machines. Volcani will assist Saffron Tech in writing the protocols required to grow saffron in a controlled and automated way, including the use of robotics and AI.
Our Business Operations during 2018 and 2019
We were a global Technology Company focusing on producing cutting edge technology for the agriculture markets for home, Commercial and medical use. We produced automated plant growing devices managed and controlled by an artificial intelligent algorithm, allowing consumers to grow their own herbs and vegetables effortlessly from seed to plant, while providing optimal conditions to assure premium quality produce year-round. As discussed above, Errol was placed into liquidation in December 2019 and the assets were sold in March 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since inception on January 16, 2015, the Company had a cumulative deficit as of December 31, 2020 of $17,704 thousand and we have a working capital deficit of $2,013 thousand as of December 31, 2020. Our future growth is dependent upon achieving further purchase orders and execution, management of operating expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to fund future obligations, and upon profitable operations.
Historically, we have financed our cash flow and operations from the initial contribution of our majority shareholder and by raising equity, convertible loans and warrants.
As of December 31, 2020, our cash balance was $411 thousand.
During November and December 2020 and January 2021, the Company continued to raise funds to support its operations and received $855 thousand from third party investors and issued convertible promissory notes in respect thereof (“Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes bear no interest, are convertible into Shares based on a fixed conversion price of $0.10 per share and mature between 12 and 24 months from the issuance date. On December 24, 2020, Saffron Tech, announced its intention to raise up to 5 million New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) (approximately $1.6 million) at a pre-money valuation of NIS 20 million (approximately $6.225 million) through the Israeli crowd funding platform – Pipelbiz “Crowd Funding Round”). The Crowd Funding Round was closed on February 16, 2021 having raised the full amount.
Consistent with Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, it is our current policy that all transactions between the company and our officers, directors and their affiliates will be entered into only if such transactions are approved by a majority of the existing directors, are approved by vote of the stockholders, or are fair to us as a corporation as approved or ratified by the board or authorized officer. We will conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis, and, where appropriate, we review the potential of conflicts of interest.
Year ended December 31, 2020
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s overall position of cash and cash equivalents increased by $409 thousand. This increase in cash can be attributed to the following:
The Company’s net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $316 thousand as compared to $7,040 for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease is mostly due to a significant decrease in the operations of the Company.
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $725 thousand as compared to $7,032 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019. Cash provided in 2020 was from the receipt of convertible loans as compared to the receipt of convertible loans and the issuance of shares in 2019.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets. We had no outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements of SEEDO CORP. included elsewhere in this Form 10-K
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying the critical accounting policies. Certain of these critical accounting policies are fair value of convertible loans and going concern.
Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of SEEDO CORP.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seedo Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1D to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficiency, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1D. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands, except per share data
NOTE 1:- | GENERAL |
a. | Seedo Corp. (the “Company”), was incorporated on January 16, 2015, as GRCR Partners Inc., under the laws of Delaware. Prior to September 14, 2018, the Company was solely a provider of risk management and asset protection (“RAP”) services for businesses, individuals and families. On September 14, 2018, the Company acquired Eroll Grow Tech Ltd. (“Eroll”), an Israeli company incorporated on May 18, 2015 (the “Acquisition”). On September 17, 2018, the Company’s name was changed to Seedo Corp. Since the Acquisition of Eroll and through to December 31, 2019, Eroll produced a plant growing device managed and controlled by an artificial intelligent algorithm, allowing consumers to grow their own herbs and vegetables effortlessly from seed to plant, while providing optimal conditions to assure premium quality produce year-round. |
On July 19, 2020, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Hachevra Legiduley Pkaot Beisrael Ltd. (the “New Subsidiary”), to develop a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing saffron and other vegetables. On November 5, 2020, the New Subsidiary changed its name to Saffron-Tech Ltd. (“Saffron Tech”).
The Company, through Saffron Tech, is focusing on its in-house research and development of agriculture technology products, among others, in the fields of exotic plants and mushrooms. Saffron Tech plans to roll out its proof of concept in the coming months. This technology will provide turnkey automated growing containers for high-quality, high-yield saffron all year round. The Company is in advanced stages of developing and testing a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing high-quality, high-yield saffron anywhere and anytime.
b. | On September 14, 2018, following the Acquisition, Eroll survived the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. |
Immediately following the transaction, Eroll shareholders held approximately 87.4% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares in exchange of 1,137 Ordinary shares of Eroll on a fully diluted basis while the pre-merger Company shareholders retained the remaining approximate 12.6%. The pre-merger Eroll shareholders hold their existing Shares’s Ordinary stock.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, at the time of the Transaction, the Company issued 12,073,500 nonassessable shares of their Ordinary shares. Each of the holders of the pre-acquisition issued and outstanding Ordinary shares of Eroll received their pro-rata allotment of these shares according to their then current shareholding in the Eroll. At the closing of this transaction, there were 15,000,000 Ordinary Shares.
The Reverse Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization which is outside the scope of ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Under reverse capitalization accounting, Eroll is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Company. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical amounts. The annual consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the operations of the acquirer for accounting purposes together with a deemed issuance of shares, equivalent to the shares held by the former stockholders of the legal acquirer and a recapitalization of the equity of the accounting acquirer. The annual consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company since the effective date of the reverse capitalization and the accounts of Eroll since inception.
On December 10, 2019, Mr. Zohar Levy, on behalf of Eroll filed a petition (the “Petition”) for a debt settlement in the Nazareth District Court (the “Court”), in accordance with Section 321 of Chapter A of Part G of the Israeli Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, seeking a debt settlement and a suspension of proceedings in order to protect Eroll’s creditors from economic damages and other future damages and to allow the Eroll to maintain its business while seeking a proposal of an acquisition of the Eroll and/or its activities and assets.

NOTE 1:- | GENERAL (Cont.) |
In the petition, Eroll requested that the Court authorize its entering into a loan agreement with a potential buyer, as a temporary solution until a definitive agreement is signed, and to issue an order calling for a creditors’ meeting within 10 days and appointment of a trustee, who will negotiate a definitive agreement with the potential buyer.
The Company is not included in such proceedings and is not otherwise involved in any bankruptcy proceedings.
On December 11, 2019, Eroll received an offer to acquire Eroll and/or its assets and business from a potential buyer (the “Potential Buyer” and the “Acquisition Offer” respectively). As part of the Acquisition Offer, the Potential Buyer agreed to provide a bridge loan in the amount of $400,000 (the “Bridge Loan”) to be repaid within 20 days, which the Eroll will use for payroll, payment of debt to a certain Chinese manufacturer, and certain other enumerated urgent payments necessary to keep Eroll’s assets active.
To ensure the repayment of the loan within 20 days, if the Acquisition Offer is not approved and the loan is not repaid on time, the Potential Buyer will receive the rights to all of the products in inventory and productions at the Chinese manufacture and Eroll’s warehouse. Additionally, the Potential Buyer will receive an irrevocable power of attorney and authorization of Eroll to act directly with the Chinese manufacture.
On December 17, 2019, the Court approved Eroll’s entering into the Acquisition Offer, on condition that the Bridge Loan will be repaid by purchasing all of Eroll’s inventory in China, the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, and subject to the Court’s approval of any transfer of Eroll’s inventory. Additionally, the Court issued an order of suspension and stay of all legal proceedings against Eroll.
On December 19, 2019, the Court appointed a debt settlement manager, who will have the authority to determine if an alternative settlement is appropriate.
Due to the fact that Eroll was not able to secure the Bridge Loan under the conditions determined by the Court, on January 2, 2020, the Settlement Manager filed a request to the Court for entering into an interim funding agreement with the Potential Buyer (the “Interim Funding Agreement”). As part of the Interim Funding Agreement, the Potential Buyer agreed to provide a loan in the amount of $294,000 (the “Loan”), which the Eroll will use for payroll, and certain other enumerated urgent payments necessary to keep Eroll’s assets active, until a creditors meeting is convened in order to approve a debt settlement based on a final acquisition offer from the Potential Buyer. To ensure the repayment of the Loan, the Potential Buyer will receive a lien over certain intellectual property of Eroll, future payments to Eroll from PayPal and Eroll’s property.
On January 5, 2020, the Court approved the Settlement Managers’ request to enter into the Interim Funding Agreement.
Additionally, on January 8, 2020, the Court issued an order of stay of all legal proceedings against Eroll, and an order prohibiting any disposition of the Eroll’s property. Any transfer of any of Eroll’s property and rights, including patents, shall be done subject to the Courts approval. In addition, the Court ordered that Eroll will continue its activities temporarily, and appointed the Settlement Manager as Eroll’s trustee, who will, among others, convene a creditor’s meeting to approve a debt settlement based on a final acquisition offer from the Potential Buyer, to be convened no later than January 19, 2020.
On March 25, 2020, the Court approved the purchase of Eroll’s assets by a non-related third party entity named Seedo Agriculture Ltd. Therefore, from the closing of such purchase, the Company no longer has any legal ties nor privity with Eroll. The Company is focusing on its in-house research and development of agriculture technology products, among others, in the fields of exotic plants and mushrooms. |
During the year ended December 31, 2020, following the Eroll Purchase Agreement, the Company recorded a gain on the liquidation of Errol in the amount of $9,593 thousand.

c. | Effective December 31, 2018, the Company changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31. This change is being made in order to align the Company’s fiscal year end with its subsidiaries following the reverse merger. | |
d. | The Company has an accumulated deficit in the total amount of $17,458 as of December 31, 2020, the Company has negative operating cash flow in the total amount of $316 for the year ended December 31, 2020, further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. |
The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, reducing operating spend, and future issuances of equity and debt securities, or through a combination of the foregoing. However, the Company will need to seek additional sources of financing if the Company requires more funds than anticipated during the next 12 months or in later periods.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2:- | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America.
a. | Use of estimates: |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
b. | Financial statements in U.S. dollars: |
The costs of the Company are denominated in United States dollars (“dollars”). Some of the costs are incurred in New Israeli Shekels (NIS), however the selling prices are linked to the Company’s price list which is determined in dollars, the budget is managed in dollars, financing activities including loans and cash investments, are made in U.S. dollars and the Company’s management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company and each of its subsidiaries operate. Thus, the dollar is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional and reporting currency.
Accordingly, transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are re-measured to the functional currency in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction or the average exchange rate in the relevant reporting period. At the end of each reporting period, financial assets and liabilities are re-measured to the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-financial assets and liabilities are re-measured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses related to re-measurement are recorded as financial income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations as appropriate.
c. | Principles of consolidation: |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
d. | Cash and cash equivalents: |
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, at the date acquired.
e. | Restricted bank deposit: |
Restricted bank deposit includes a deposit with maturities of more than three months and up to one year. The restricted bank deposit is presented at its cost, including accrued interest and is composed of guarantees in respect of the Company’s credit card and manufacturing commitments.
f. | Inventories, net: |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the Ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and estimated selling costs.

g. | Property and equipment: |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:
% | ||||
Computers, Software and peripheral equipment | 33 | % | ||
Mold & production Equipment | 10 | % | ||
Office furniture and equipment | 10 | % |
h. | Impairment of long-lived assets: |
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets (or asset group) to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and for the three months ended 2018, no impairment losses have been recorded.
i. | Concentration of credit risks: |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and restricted bank deposit. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted bank deposit are invested in major banks in Israel and the United States. Such funds in the Israel may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company and its subsidiary’ cash and cash equivalents have high credit ratings.
The Company, have no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
j. | Research and development expenses: |
Research and development costs are charged to the consolidated statement of operations as incurred.
ASC 985-20, “Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed”, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility.
Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. The Company does not incur material costs between the completion of a working model and the point at which the products are ready for general release. Therefore, research and development costs are charged to the consolidated statement of operations as incurred. The Company did not capitalized expenses as of December 31, 2020.
k. | Severance pay: |
Eroll and Saffron Tech’s liability for severance pay is pursuant to Section 14 of the Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (“Section 14”), pursuant to which all the Company’s employees are included under Section 14, and are entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in the employee’s name with insurance companies. Under Israeli employment law, payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. The fund is made available to the employee at the time the employer-employee relationship is terminated, regardless of cause of termination. The severance pay liabilities and deposits under Section 14 are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds.

l. | Advances from customers: |
Advances from customers include primarily unearned amounts received in respect of sale and service contracts, but not yet recognized as revenues and therefore are classified as a liability.
m. | Fair value of financial instruments: |
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 — | Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. | |
Level 2 — | Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. | |
Level 3 — | Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and short-term loan approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
The Company elected to measure some of the convertible loans under the fair value option (see note 4). Under the fair value option the convertible loans will be measured at fair value in each reporting period until they will be converted, with changes in the fair values being recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as financial income or expense. The proceeds received for the issuance of the convertible loans were allocated at fair value conducted on an arm’s-length basis.
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:
Balance as of December 31, 2020 | ||||||||||||||||
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of convertible component in convertible loan, net of discounts and debt issue costs | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 1,112 | $ | 1,112 | ||||||||

n. | Income Tax: |
The Company account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” which prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it not is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Based on ASC 740, a two-step approach is used to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.
The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2020,2019 and 2018, no liability for unrecognized tax positions has been recorded. Accordingly, no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded, either. It is the Company’s policy that any interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions would be reflected in income tax expense.
o. | Basic and diluted net loss per share |
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Ordinary shares, to the extent dilutive, all in accordance with ASC No. 260, “Earning Per Share”.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and for the three months ended December 31, 2018, all outstanding shares warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share as all such securities are anti-dilutive for all years presented.
p. | Legal and other contingencies: |
The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies”. A provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company is not a party to any litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

q. | Accounting for share-based payments: |
Share-based compensation arrangements with non-employee service providers are accounted for in accordance ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, using a fair value approach. For the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and the three months ended December 31, 2018 the Company recorded $43, $134 and $37 in share-based compensation, respectively.
r. | Recent accounting pronouncements: |
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. Topic 326 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature and a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share (EPS). ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 6:- | TAXES ON INCOME |
The Company’s subsidiaries are separately taxed under the domestic tax laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of each entity.
a. | Corporate tax rates in U.S.: |
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the TCJA”) was signed into law, permanently lowering the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The company is subject to U.S. income tax laws. There are no significant provisions for U.S. federal, state or other taxes for any period.
b. | Corporate tax rates in Israel: |
The Israeli statutory corporate tax rate and real capital gains were 23% in 2018-2020.
c. | Deferred income taxes: |
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:
December 31, | ||||||||||||
2020 | 2019 | 2018 | ||||||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||||||
Carry forward tax losses | $ | 1,174 | $ | 2,380 | $ | 1,061 | ||||||
Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance | 1,174 | 2,380 | 1,061 | |||||||||
Valuation allowance | (1,174 | ) | (2,380 | ) | 1,061 | |||||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | - | $ | - | $ | - |
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are utilized. Based on consideration of these factors, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
d. | Net operating carry-forward losses for tax purposes: |
As of December 31, 2020, the carry-forward losses amounting to approximately $5,600, which can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

U.S. dollars in thousands, except per share data
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
Seedo Corp. (the “Company”), was incorporated on January 16, 2015, as GRCR Partners Inc., under the laws of Delaware. Prior to September 14, 2018, the Company was solely a provider of risk management and asset protection (“RAP”) services for businesses, individuals and families. On September 14, 2018, the Company acquired Eroll Grow Tech Ltd. (“Eroll”), an Israeli company incorporated on May 18, 2015 (the “Acquisition”). On September 17, 2018, the Company’s name was changed to Seedo Corp. Since the Acquisition of Eroll and through to December 31, 2019, Eroll produced a plant growing device managed and controlled by an artificial intelligent algorithm, allowing consumers to grow their own herbs and vegetables effortlessly from seed to plant, while providing optimal conditions to assure premium quality produce year-round.
On July 19, 2020, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Hachevra Legiduley Pkaot Beisrael Ltd. (the “New Subsidiary”), to develop a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing saffron and other vegetables. On November 5, 2020, the New Subsidiary changed its name to Saffron-Tech Ltd. (“Saffron Tech”).
The Company, through Saffron Tech, is focusing on its in-house research and development of agriculture technology products, among others, in the fields of exotic plants and mushrooms. Saffron Tech plans to roll out its proof of concept in the coming months. This technology will provide turnkey automated growing containers for high-quality, high-yield saffron all year round. The Company is in advanced stages of developing and testing a fully automated and remotely managed system for growing high-quality, high-yield saffron anywhere and anytime.
Going Concern
The Company has a history of losses, an accumulated deficit, have negative working capital and have not generated cash flow from our operations to support a meaningful and ongoing business plan. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the development, marketing and sales of a viable product to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing future development activities and working capital needs largely from the sale of private and public equity securities with additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The unaudited, interim financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. 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 for three-months ended March 31, 2020, the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the nine-months ended September 30, 2020. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2020. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
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”). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for Warrants and Convertible Note and Going Concern.
Derivative and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.
Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” 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 in 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.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and 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), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

Recent Accounting Standards announced
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. Topic 326 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature and a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share (EPS). ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2019. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019 conducted as part of our annual audit and preparation of our annual financial statements, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgment and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to our ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
In order to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
11
The material weaknesses identified are described below.
Procedures for Control Evaluation. Management has not established with appropriate rigor the procedures for evaluating internal controls over financial reporting. Due to limited resources and lack of segregation of duties, documentation of the limited control structure has not been accomplished.
Lack of Audit Committee. To date, the Company has not established an Audit Committee. It is management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert, is an utmost important entity level control over the financial reporting process.
Insufficient Documentation of Review Procedures We employ policies and procedures for reconciliation of the financial statements and note disclosures.
Insufficient Information Technology Procedures. Management has not established methodical and consistent data back-up procedures to ensure loss of data will not occur.
As a result of the management evaluation of company internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2020, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Board of Directors
The minimum number of directors we are authorized to have is one, and although we anticipate appointing additional directors in the near future, as of the date hereof we have one director. Directors on our Board of Directors are elected for one-year terms and serve until the next annual security holders’ meeting or until their death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification, or until a successor has been elected and qualified. All officers are appointed annually by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board. Currently, directors receive no compensation for their services on our Board. During the next year we intend to strengthen our Board of Directors by expanding it and recruiting world class Key Members.
13
Committees of the Board
All proceedings of the board of directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by our board of directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of our board of directors. Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
The Company does not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Company’s board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. The Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with the Company’s board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to any of our Directors at the address appearing on the first page of this registration statement.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have a standing audit committee. Our directors perform the functions usually designated to an audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the NASD Rules.
We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the functions of an audit committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated positive cash flow to date.
As we generate revenue in the future, we intend to form a standing audit committee and identify and appoint a financial expert to serve on our audit committee.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers that is applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Delaware law, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
14
Family Relationships
No family relationship exists between any director, executive officer, or any person contemplated to become such.
Director Independence
We currently do not have any independent directors serving on our board of directors.
Possible Potential Conflicts
The OTCBB where our stock is quoted does not currently have any director independence requirements.
No member of the Board of Directors will be required by us to work on a full-time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our director(s) in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although Directors time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer’s understanding of his/her fiduciary duties to us.
Currently we have two, and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.
We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
