In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the underwriter as compensation warrants to purchase up to 54,545 shares of Common Stock (5% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in this offering exclusive of the over-allotment option, or the underwriter’s warrants). The underwriter’s warrants will be exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price per share in this offering (excluding the over-allotment option). The underwriter’s warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and one half year period commencing 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“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”). The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE LOANS
On September 21, 2020, the Company entered into a series of additional convertible loan agreements (each, a “September 2020 CLA”) with certain lenders (the “September 2020 Lenders”) to sell convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $125,000 (each a “September 2020 Note”). The outstanding loan amount under the September 2020 CLA will mature on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of each September 2020 CLA or (ii) a deemed liquidation event (as defined therein), and the September 2020 Lenders may convert all or any portion of the September 2020 Notes into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to a mandatory conversion event (as defined therein) at a conversion price of $7.63 per share. The September 2020 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The loan amount represented by the September 2020 Notes will be repaid to the September 2020 Lenders according to the following schedule: (i) the principal amount represented by the September 2020 Notes will be repaid in four bi-annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary following the closing of each September 2020 CLA, and (ii) the interest accrued on the loan amount will be paid in two bi-annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the first payment of that principal amount.
During October 2020, the Company entered into a series of additional convertible loan agreements with additional lenders to sell notes with an aggregate principal amount of $100,000, pursuant to the same terms a set in the September 2020 CLAs.
During January 2021, the Company entered into a series of additional convertible loan agreements with additional lenders to sell notes with an aggregate principal amount of $274,000, pursuant to the same terms a set in the September 2020 CLAs.
As part of the convertible loan agreements, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each of the lenders, whereby each lender received piggyback registration rights for the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes to shares of Common Stock.
The loans are convertible into Common Stock upon (i) a completion of underwritten public offering (“Mandatory Conversion”), whereby the outstanding loan amount is converted at a share price as shall be determined in the offering, or (ii) at the lender’s discretion (“Optional Conversion”), whereby the outstanding loan amount is converted at a share price per share of $7.63.

NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE LOANS (continue)
In accordance with ASC 815-15-25, the conversion feature was considered embedded derivative instruments, and is to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible loan and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company recorded finance expenses in respect of the convertible component in the convertible loan in the excess amount of the convertible component fair value over the face loan amount. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.
The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by third party appraiser as weighted average of the two possible scenarios of the total loan amount conversion: as of December 31, 2020, 75% probability for the Mandatory Conversion and 25% probability for the Optional Conversion and as of March 31, 2021, 85% probability for the Mandatory Conversion and 15% probability for the Optional Conversion.
The Mandatory Conversion (scenario 1) was estimated by the appraiser using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, to compute the fair value of the derivative and to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The following are the data and assumptions used as of issuance dates and as of the balance sheet date:
December 31, 2020 | March 31, 2021 | |||||||
Dividend yield | 0 | 0 | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.09 | % | 0.05 | % | ||||
Expected term (years) | 0.417 | 0.167 | ||||||
Volatility | 48.06 | % | 48.06 | % | ||||
Share price | 8.61 | 15 | ||||||
Exercise price | 7.63 | 7.63 | ||||||
Fair value | 47,499 | 224,345 |
The Optional Conversion (scenario 2) was estimated by the appraiser using binomial option pricing model and simulating and waiver of the lender as an exercise price, to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The following are the data and assumptions used as of the issuance dates and as of balance sheet date:
December 31, 2020 | March 31, 2021 | |||||||
Dividend yield | 0 | 0 | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.10-0.14 | % | 0.05-0.17 | % | ||||
Volatility | 48.06 | % | 48.06 | % | ||||
Share price | 8.61 | 15 | ||||||
Fair value | 77,381 | 258,114 |
The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by the third-party appraiser after giving effect to the weighted average of the two possible scenarios as of December 31, 2020, which was $54,970 and as of March 31, 2021, which was $229,411.
The fair value allocated to the convertible loan was estimated by third party appraiser as the residual value of the proceeds net of the convertible component and was estimated at a value of $209,631 as of March 31, 2021 of which $59,566 is presented under current liabilities and $150,065 is presented under long term liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Readers are advised to review the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in our 2020 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
We develop eco-friendly “green” solutions for the food industry. Our solutions are developed to improve the food safety and shelf life of fresh produce. We do this by controlling human and plant pathogens, thereby reducing spoilage, and in turn, reducing food loss.
Our products are based on a proprietary blend of food acids which have a synergistic effect when combined with certain types of oxidizing agent-based sanitizers and fungicides at low concentrations. Our green products are capable of cleaning, sanitizing and controlling pathogens on fresh produce with the goal of making them safer for human consumption and extending their shelf life by reducing their decay. One of the main advantages of our products is that our active ingredients do not leave any toxicological residues on the fresh produce we treat. In contrary, by forming a temporary protective shield around the fresh produce we treat, our products make it difficult for pathogens to develop and potentially provide protection which also reduces cross-contamination.
Our shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SVFD.”
Due to the effects of COVID-19, as of the date of this report, some of our employees are on temporary leave without pay (furlough), including our Chief Technology Officer, and we have postponed some of our planned field tests due to the current restriction on international travels. However, to date, we did not experience any material impact on our financial condition and results of operations due to COVID-19, and we do not expect to experience any material impact on our overall liquidity positions and outlook as a result of the outbreak. Nevertheless, it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, the continued spread of COVID-19, and any additional measures taken by governments, health officials or by us in response to such spread, could have on our business results of operations and financial condition.

Three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended March 31, 2020
Revenues and cost of revenues.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $123,074, an increase of $59,508, or 94%, compared to total revenues of $63,566 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is mainly a result of the Company’s sales of its new products, which the Company commenced in the fourth quarter of 2020.
We do not have backlogs or firm commitments from our customers for our products. Our sales might deteriorate if we fail to achieve commercial success or obtain regulatory approval of any of our products.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of salaries, materials, transportation and overhead costs of manufacturing our products. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2,933, a decrease of $17,842, or 86%, compared to total cost of revenues of $20,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is mainly a result of the decrease in salaries and related expenses, due to the fact that some of our employees are currently on temporary leave without pay (furlough), due to the effects of COVID-19 on our business, and a decrease in the overall cost of materials, due to our efforts to deploy our new solutions.
18 |
Gross Profit
Gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $120,141, an increase of $77,350, or 181%, compared to gross profit of $42,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is mainly a result of the increase in revenues and the decrease in cost of revenues, as detailed above.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of salaries and related expenses, share base compensation, consulting fees, service providers’ costs, related materials and overhead expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $69,791, a decrease of $87,845, or 56%, compared to total research and development expenses of $157,636 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is mainly attributable to: (1) the decrease in professional fees, share based compensation and in payroll; and (2) the decrease in expenses associated with international travel and field trials which have been postponed due to COVID-19.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for selling and marketing personnel, travel related expenses and services providers. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $44,258, an increase of $15,321, or 53%, compared to total selling and marketing expenses of $28,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in travel expenses offset by payroll expenses and service providers used in relation to selling and marketing activities mainly associated with the termination of the employment of our former Vice President of Sales in February 2020.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses including share based compensation and other non-personnel related expenses such as legal expenses and directors and insurance costs. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $252,971, an increase of $34,892, or 16%, compared to total general and administrative expenses of $218,079 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is mainly a result of the increase in professional services, share-based compensation to our service providers and directors offset partially by a decrease in legal expenses.
Financing Expenses, Net
Financing expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $247,416, an increase of $240,214, or 3.0% compared to total financing expenses of $7,202 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is mainly a result of compensation expenses related to the accrued interest and amortization expenses related to our convertible loans.
Total Comprehensive Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our total comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $494,295, compared to $369,063 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $125,232, or 34%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures. Since our inception through March 31, 2021, we have funded our operations principally with approximately $11,951,190 (net of issuance expenses) from the issuance of shares of our Common Stock, options and loans.
The table below presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Three
Months Ended March 31 | ||||||||
2021 | 2020 | |||||||

As of March 31, 2021, we had a negative working capital of $202,401, as compared to a negative working capital of $290,062 as of December 31, 2020. The increase in our cash balance is mainly attributable to proceeds from convertible loans.
Operating Activities

Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,375 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $84 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in funds in respect of employee rights upon retirement.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $204,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $122,740 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is mainly the result of proceeds from convertible loans offset by prepaid issuance expenses.
20 |
Financial Arrangements
Since our inception, we have financed our operation primarily through proceeds from sales of our shares of Common Stock, convertible loan agreements and grants from the IAA.
During January 2021, we entered into a series of convertible loan agreements (each a “January 2021 CLA”) with certain lenders (the “January 2021 Lenders”), to sell convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $274,000 (the “January 2021 Notes”). The January 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The outstanding loan amount matures on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of each January 2021 CLA or (ii) a deemed liquidation event (as defined therein). The loan amount represented by the January 2021 Notes will be repaid to the January 2021 Lenders according to the following schedule: (i) the principal amount represented by the notes will be repaid in four bi-annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary following the closing of each January 2021 CLA, and (ii) the interest accrued on the loan amount will be paid in two bi-annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the first payment of that principal amount. The January 2021 Notes will be automatically converted into shares of Common stock immediately prior to a Mandatory Conversion Event, at a conversion price as shall be determined in connection with the Mandatory Conversion Event. In addition, the January 2021 Lenders may convert all or any portion of the notes into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to a Mandatory Conversion Event, at a conversion price of $7.63 per share.
As part of the January 2021 CLAs, we entered into a registration rights agreement with each of the January 2021 Lenders, whereby each of such lenders received piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon conversion of the January 2021 Notes, for certain secondary offerings.
On May 11, 2021 and May 12, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 66,877 shares of Common Stock following the conversion of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $499,000 and of aggregated accrued interest amount of $11,211, at a conversion price of $7.63 per share.
On March 18, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to which we issued a total of 1,090,909 shares of our Common Stock at a purchase price of $11.00 per share. In connection with the Offering, we agreed to grant ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (the “Underwriters”), a 45-day option (the “Option”) to purchase up to 163,636 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $11.00 per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions solely to cover over-allotments, and to issue the Underwriters a five-year warrants to purchase up to 54,545 shares of Common Stock, at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the Offering price per share of Common Stock. The gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $12,000,000.
