PART I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

SATIVUS TECH CORP. (formerly SEEDO CORP.) (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 14, 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. 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.

 

During the third quarter of 2019, Eroll was experiencing financial and operational difficulties and during 2020, entered liquidation proceedings through the Nazareth District Court of the State of Israel (the “Court”). On March 25, 2020, the Court approved the purchase of all of Eroll’s assets by a non-related third-party and therefore, the Company no longer has any legal ties nor privity with Eroll.

 

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 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 is designed to 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 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 three employees 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 Agriculture’s research organization – The Volcani Center (“Volcani”). Growin is the owner of proprietary systems for indoor agriculture and Saffron Tech has acquired the exclusive right to market, sell and commercialize our product based on 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 December 24, 2020, Saffron Tech, announced its intention to raise up to 5.2 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. Fund raising expenses accumulated to $155 and the net amount raised through Pipelbiz was $1.4 million.

 

On August 10, 2021, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Saffron Tech, has been awarded a $446 thousand grant from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”). The new grant will allow Saffron Tech to accelerate its R&D program building on its ground-breaking development of the protocols for growing saffron using vertical farming technology. The funds will be allocated to enable the company to expand its facilities, allowing it to grow more saffron for commercial use. As of December 31, 2021, Saffron Tech received a total of $268 from the IIA.

 

On October 28, 2021, the Company announced that a majority of the Company’s shareholders brought forth a Shareholder’s Action by written consent to remove Mr. David Freidenberg and Mr. Gil Feiler from the Board of Directors of the Company, and immediately appoint Mr. Shmuel Yannay, Mr. Moshe Bar Siman Tov and Mrs. Iris Tova Ginsburg to its Board of Directors. The three new directors joined Mr. Avi Stern, an incumbent Independent Director, in comprising the Board of Directors of the Company.

On December 13, 2021, the Company changed its name from Seedo Corp to Sativus Tech Corp.

 

On December 8, 2021, Saffron Tech announced it has begun construction of a new state-of-the-art indoor farm that will help increase its production of the saffron spice. Saffron Tech has already successfully completed two harvests of saffron using vertical farming technology at its initial location in Ganot, Israel. The Company's mission with this new facility, located at Mavki'im, Israel, is to complete a third cycle to triple the amount of saffron produced annually. Traditional agriculture only produces one harvest of saffron per year through a labor-intensive process.

 

On December 9, 2021, we implemented a 1-for-10 consolidation, or reverse split, of our issued and outstanding common shares. Except where otherwise indicated, all share and per share data in this 10-K have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

On January 6, 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Saffron Tech, has planted approximately 25,000 Saffron bulbs in fields in the Golan Heights, in Norther Israel. The planation is being managed in conjunction with the Shamir Research Institute, which operates under the auspices of the Haifa University, Israel.

 

On November 1, 2021, David Freidenberg resigned his position as CEO of the Company and on November 7, 2021, Mr. Gadi Levin was appointed as Chief Executive Officer.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

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.

 

Item 6. [Reserved]

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Executive Overview

 

SATIVUS TECH CORP. (f/k/a SEEDO CORP.) (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. 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 December 13, 2021, we the Company changed its name to Sativus Tech Corp.

 

During the third quarter of 2019, Eroll was experiencing financial and operational difficulties and during 2020, entered liquidation proceedings through the Nazareth District Court of the State of Israel (the “Court”). On March 25, 2020, the Court approved the purchase of all of Eroll’s assets by a non-related third-party and therefore, the Company no longer has any legal ties nor privity with Eroll.

 

Our Business Operations since July 2020

 

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 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 is designed to 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 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 of Saffron Tech, Saffron Tech has hired three employees 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 December 8, 2021, Saffron Tech announced it has begun construction of a new state-of-the-art indoor farm that will help increase its production of the saffron spice. Saffron Tech has already successfully completed two harvests of saffron using vertical farming technology at its initial location in Ganot, Israel. The Company's mission with this new facility, located at Mavki'im, Israel, is to complete a third cycle to triple the amount of saffron produced annually. Traditional agriculture only produces one harvest of saffron per year through a labor-intensive process.

 

On December 9, 2021, FINRA gave final approval for the Company’s 1-for-10 consolidation, or reverse split, of our issued and outstanding common shares, as noted in our 8K of December 13, 2021. Except where otherwise indicated, all share and per share data in this 10-K have been retroactively restated to reflect said consolidation.

 

On January 6, 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Saffron Tech, has planted approximately 25,000 Saffron bulbs in fields in the Golan Heights, in Norther Israel. The planation is being managed in conjunction with the Shamir Research Institute, which operates under the auspices of the Haifa University, Israel.

 

Results of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020

 

Operating Expenses

 

Research and Development Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, amounted to $911 thousand as compared to $107 for the year ended December 31, 2020. During 2020, the Saffron Tech began its research and development expenses in Israel.

 

General and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, amounted to $1,639 thousand as compared to $456 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase during the year ended December 31, 2021, was mainly due to share-based expenses that amounted to $1,318, compared to $171 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Financing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, amounted to $1,391 thousand as compared to $1,388 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020. Financing expenses include interest on loans and convertibles loans, amortization of BCF and adjustments to the fair value of certain convertible loans.

 

Gain on liquation of subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2021, amount to $Nil as compared to $9,593 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The gain in 2020 related to Eroll being liquidated by the Israeli court thereby removing the liability form the Company’s balance sheet.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Since inception on January 16, 2015, the Company had a cumulative deficit as of December 31, 2021, of $21,077 thousand and we have a working capital deficit of $2,395 thousand as of December 31, 2021. 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. 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.

 

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, 2021, our cash balance was $866 thousand.

 

During November and December 2020 and January 2021, the Company continued to raise funds to support its operations and received $955 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 $1.00 per share and mature between 12 and 24 months from the issuance date. As of December 31, 2021, Promissory Notes in the amount of $830,000 have been converted into shares.

 

On December 24, 2020, Saffron Tech, announced its intention to raise up to 5.2 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. Fund raising expenses accumulated to $155 and the net amount raised through Pipelbiz was $1.4 million.

 

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

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s overall position of cash and cash equivalents increased by $455 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, 2021, was $1,374 thousand as compared to $316 for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase is mostly due to a significant increase in the operations of the Company.

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $1,856 thousand as compared to $725 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash provided in 2021 was from the receipt of $530 in convertible loans and $1,406 from crowd funding as compared to the receipt of $725 from convertible loans in 2020.

 

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.

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 the calculation of share-based compensation 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF

SATIVUS TECH CORP. (Formerly Seedo Corp)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sativus Tech Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years in the period ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in the period ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1B to the financial statements, the Company has not yet generated material revenues from its operations to fund its activities and is therefore dependent upon external sources for financing its operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has incurred accumulated deficit of $21,118 thousands and negative operating cash flows. These factor among others, as discussed in Note 1B to the financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1B to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of’ these uncertainties. This matter is also described in the “Critical Audit Matters” section of our report.

 

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 audit. 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 audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   

Critical audit matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

  

Evaluation of convertible debt with an embedded derivative liability and detachable warrants

Description of the Matter

As discussed in Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements, upon initial recognition of Convertible loans, Convertible Notes and similar instruments issued with or without detachable warrants, the Company considers whether the embedded feature within the convertible instruments should be separated from the host instrument and the manner of its presentation and future measurement and weather warrants granted by the Company to lenders through convertible bridge loans and stock warrants transactions should be classified as a component of permanent equity or as derivative liabilities. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo model to value the derivative bifurcated liabilities, which estimates the fair value of the liabilities based upon certain assumptions utilizing a probability weighted analysis of certain future events. Other inputs into the model include, volatility, closing stock prices at various valuation points, and conversion prices as determined by the applicable agreements.

We identified the fair value of the derivative liability as a critical audit matter, as (i) the assumptions utilized in the model to value the derivative liability required judgement, and the model is inherently complex. (ii) the accounting for derivative liabilities is complex (iii) the magnitude of the liabilities and losses recognized in the estimation process.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter involved the assistance of our valuation specialist and included the following: (i) we reviewed the qualifications of the valuation specialist utilized by the Company (ii) we audited the underlying inputs utilized by the valuation specialist in the model (iii) we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s assumptions included in the model (iv) we reviewed the underlying source documents to determine the proper accounting of the transactions (v) we tested the accuracy of those underlying calculations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars in thousands, except per share data

 

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

 

  a.

Sativus Tech Corp. (formerly Seedo Corp.) (the “Company”), was formed on January 16, 2015 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Prior to September 14th, 2018, the Company was solely a provider of risk management and asset protection (“RAP”) services for businesses, individuals and families. On September 14th, 2018, 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. 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 December 13, 2021, the Company changed its name from Seedo Corp to Sativus Tech Corp.

 

During the third quarter of 2019, Eroll was experiencing financial and operational difficulties and during 2020, entered liquidation proceedings through the Nazareth District Court of the State of Israel (the “Court”). On March 25, 2020, the Court approved the purchase of all of Eroll’s assets by a non-related third-party and therefore, the Company no longer has any legal ties nor privity with Eroll.

  

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.

 

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.

 

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.

On December 24, 2020, Saffron Tech, announced its intention to raise up to 5.2 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. Fund raising expenses accumulated to $155 and the net amount raised through Pipelbiz was $1.4 million.

 

On August 10, 2021, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Saffron Tech, has been awarded a $446 thousand grant from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”). The new grant will allow Saffron Tech to accelerate its R&D program building on its ground-breaking development of the protocols for growing saffron using vertical farming technology. The funds will be allocated to enable the company to expand its facilities, allowing it to grow more saffron for commercial use. As of December 31, 2021, Saffron Tech received a total of $268 from the IIA.

 

On October 28, 2021, the Company announced that a majority of the Company’s shareholders brought forth a Shareholder’s Action by written consent to remove Mr. David Freidenberg and Mr. Gil Feiler from the Board of Directors of the Company, and immediately appoint Mr. Shmuel Yannay, Mr. Moshe Bar Siman Tov and Mrs. Iris Tova Ginsburg to its Board of Directors. The three new directors joined Mr. Avi Stern, an incumbent Independent Director, in comprising the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

On November 1, 2021, David Freidenberg resigned his position as CEO of the Company and on November 7, 2021, Mr. Gadi Levin was appointed as Chief Executive Officer.

 

On December 8, 2021, Saffron Tech announced it has begun construction of a new state-of-the-art indoor farm that will help increase its production of the saffron spice. Saffron Tech has already successfully completed two harvests of saffron using vertical farming technology at its initial location in Ganot, Israel. The Company's mission with this new facility, located at Mavki'im, Israel, is to complete a third cycle to triple the amount of saffron produced annually. Traditional agriculture only produces one harvest of saffron per year through a labor-intensive process.

 

On December 9, 2021, FINRA gave final approval for the Company’s 1-for-10 consolidation, or reverse split, of our issued and outstanding common shares, as noted in our 8K of December 13, 2021. Except where otherwise indicated, all share and per share data in these financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect said consolidation.

 

On January 6, 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Saffron Tech, has planted approximately 25,000 Saffron bulbs in fields in the Golan Heights, in Norther Israel. The planation is being managed in conjunction with the Shamir Research Institute, which operates under the auspices of the Haifa University, Israel.

 

  b. The Company has an accumulated deficit in the total amount of $21,077 as of December 31, 2021, the Company has negative operating cash flow in the total amount of $1,374 for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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 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, 2021, 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 in our Israeli subsidiary are incurred in New Israeli Shekels (NIS), however the selling prices will be linked to the Company’s price list which will be 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 its subsidiary operates. Thus, the dollar is the Company’s and its subsidiary 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.

 

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2021 in respect of the Company’s credit card and manufacturing commitments.

 

  e. 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%

 

  f. 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, 2021 and 2020, no impairment losses have been recorded.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  g. Leases:

 

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02. The guidance establishes a right-of-use model ("ROU") that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The Group determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception.

 

The Group is a lessee in an operating lease for a research facility. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Group’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Group monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative ROU asset balance is recorded in statement of comprehensive loss.

 

  h. 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.

  

  i. Research and development expenses:

 

Research and development costs are charged to the consolidated statement of operations as incurred.

 

  j. Royalty-bearing grants:

 

Royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “IIA”) for funding approved research and development projects are recognized at the time Saffron Tech is entitled to such grants (i.e. at the time that there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received), on the basis of the costs incurred and reduce research and development costs. The cumulative research and development grants received by the Company from inception through December 2021 amounted to $268.

 

As of December 31, 2021 the Company did not accrue for or pay any royalties to the IIA since no revenues were recognized in respect of the funded projects.

 

  k. Liability for employee rights upon retirement pay:

 

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. 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.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  l. 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, 2021 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Liabilities:

  m. 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, 2021 and 2020, 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.

 

  n. 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, 2021 and 2020, 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.

 

  o. Contingencies:

 

The Company records accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, litigation and other sources when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

  p. Stock-based payments:

 

The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for all equity-based payments to employees based on their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Share-based payments including grants of stock options are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss as an operating expense based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company has expensed compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, applying the accelerated vesting method, over the requisite service period or over the implicit service period when a performance condition affects the vesting, and it is considered probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

 

Share-based payments awarded to consultants (non-employees) are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $1,318, and $171 in share-based compensation, respectively.

 

  q. Recent accounting pronouncements:

 

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss model guidance with a new method that reflects expected credit losses. Under this guidance, an entity would recognize an allowance for credit losses equal to its estimate of expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB extended the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies. As a result, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Convertible instruments

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” (“ASC 470-20”) for convertible instruments. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. For smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination

 

On October 28, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which amends ASC 805 to “require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination.” Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes such items at fair value on the acquisition date. According to the FASB, this Update is intended “to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the following:

 

Recognition of an acquired contract liability
Payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer.

 

ASU 2021-08 06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Warrants

 

In May 2021, the Financial Accountings Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” (“ASU 2021-04”). The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard

 

  r. New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and(2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective as of December 31, 2021, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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, 2021, and 2020.

 

  d. Net operating carry-forward losses for tax purposes:

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s carry-forward losses amounting to approximately $6,532, and Saffron Tech’s carry-forward losses amounting to approximately $1,456, which can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

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, 2021. 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, 2021, 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, 2021.

 

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, 2021, 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, 2021, 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.

Committees of the Board

 

All proceedings of the board of directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, 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

 

None of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

 

  has had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 

  been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
