Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc.
(Formerly Emerald Medical Applications Corp)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited)
Note 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies.
Organizational Background:
Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Emerald Medical Applications Corp) (the “Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” or “our”), was incorporated in the State of Ohio in 1989 under a predecessor name, Zaxis International Inc. (“Zaxis”). On August 25, 1995, Zaxis merged with a subsidiary of The InFerGene Company, a Delaware corporation, which entity changed its name to “Zaxis International, Inc.” and the Company was reincorporated in Delaware as Zaxis. On December 30, 2014, Zaxis entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Emerald Medical Applications Ltd., which was then a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (“Emerald Israel” or “Emerald”). On March 16, 2015, Zaxis and Emerald Israel executed the Share Exchange Agreement, which closed on July 14, 2015 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), and the Company continued the operations of Emerald Israel as it sole operating activities under its then current name “Zaxis International, Inc.” During the fourth quarter of 2015, in connection with such share exchange, the Company changed its name to “Emerald Medical Applications Corp.” The Share Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Registrant were replaced with the historical financial statements of Emerald Israel.
New Business Developments
On January 17, 2018, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Israel, Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating, allowing and supporting purchase and/or sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, personal computers (“PCs”) and/or mobile devices.
Cessation of Former Operations
On January 29, 2018, the Company ceased the DermaCompare operations of its former subsidiary, Emerald Israel, and on May 2, 2018, the District Court of Lod gave a winding-up order for Emerald Israel and nominated an Israeli advocate as a special executor to Emerald Israel. To the extent that the liquidation procedure yields proceeds in excess of Emerald Israel’s current obligations, the first $250,000 will be distributed to the previous shareholders of the Company’s preferred stock (see Note 3) and any excess thereafter, to the Company. However, based on the Company’s current best estimate, it is not anticipated that such excess proceeds will be achieved. See Note 6. Discontinued Operations.
Going Concern:
The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in relation to its DermaCompare operations, since incorporation. The Company raised approximately $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, however, it will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support the commercialization of its new operations and maintain its research and development activities. The Company is addressing its liquidity needs by seeking additional funding from public and/or private sources. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required for the short and long-term requirements.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Subsidiary, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. 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 period. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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.
F-5 |
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2018 (the “Annual Report”).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company assesses the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on its financial statements. Following are newly issued standards or material updates to the Company’s previous assessments from its Annual Report:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a new standard to achieve a consistent application of revenue recognition within the U.S., resulting in a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under GAAP. Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard is effective with respect to the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018; early adoption is prohibited. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. As the Company has not incurred revenues to date, it does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard requiring the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This standard is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. As the Company currently is not a party to any leasing arrangement, it does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” With respect to assets measured at amortized cost, such as held-to-maturity assets, the update requires presentation of the amortized cost net of a credit loss allowance. The update eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate can now reflect an entity’s current estimate of all future expected credit losses as opposed to the previous standard, when an entity only considered past events and current conditions. With respect to available for sale debt securities, the update requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The update is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2020; early adoption is permitted. As the Company has insignificant receivable balances, the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, which includes Part I “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features” and Part II “Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests With a Scope Exception”. The ASU makes limited changes to the Board’s guidance on classifying certain financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The ASU’s objective is to improve (1) the accounting for instruments with “down-round” provisions and (2) the readability of the guidance in ASC 480 on distinguishing liabilities from equity by replacing the indefinite deferral of certain pending content with scope exceptions. This standard is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019; early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the standard, retrospectively, for each prior period presented in the financial statements included elsewhere herein.
Note 2. Deferred Revenues.
On January 24, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, entered into a binding term sheet (the “Chiron Term Sheet”) with Chiron Refineries Ltd. (“Chiron”), a public company listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE: CHR). Pursuant to the Chiron Term Sheet, (i) Virtual Crypto Israel shall appoint a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chiron, under the laws of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, as the exclusive distributor of Virtual Crypto Israel’s Products in the territory of the Republic of Turkey, including the territory of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (the “Territory”); and (ii) such distributor shall have the right to appoint sub-distributors within the Territory. The appointment of the Chiron subsidiary as distributor is subject to the payment by the distributor of $250,000 to the Company as an appointment fee, of which $150,000 shall be deemed an advance payment by the distributor made on account of future purchases of our Products.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company received $50,000 on account of the appointment fee, which has been recorded as deferred revenues on our balance sheets.

Issuances of convertibles notes during the first quarter of 2018
From January 16,2018 through January 23, 2018, the Company received from certain third parties an aggregate amount of $100,000 as consideration for the Company’s issuance of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 (the “Notes”) (i) bearing interest at the rate of 1% per annum; (ii) with a conversion price of $0.01 per share of common stock; and (iii) repayable through to January 15, 2019. The beneficial conversion feature was valued at $100,000, which resulted in a $100,000 discount recorded as a reduction of debt and an increase to additional paid in capital in the Statement of Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit). The discount is amortized to finance expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss over the term of the Notes. On January 23, 2018, $3,000 of the Notes was converted at $0.01 per share into 300,000 shares, based upon the Notes conversion price of $0.01 per share of common stock.
Transfer and change of ownership of convertible notes during the first quarter of 2018
On January 24, 2018, Alpha Anstalt Capital (“Alpha”), Chi Squared Capital (“Chi”), Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund LTC, Goldmed Ltd, Ilan Malca and Maz Partners (together the “Sellers”) sold their convertible notes totaling $956,209 (the “January 2018 Convertible Notes”) to certain new third-party investors (“New Investors”). On the same day, the Company and the New Investors agreed to(i) amend the conversion price of the January 2018 Convertible Notes from $0.014 to $0.01 (ii) to cancel the Class A warrants and Class B warrants issued together with the January 2018 Convertible Notes (the “Cancelled Warrants”) (see Note 4. Stockholders’ Equity. for accounting treatment of the Cancelled Warrants), (iii) to amend the interest rate from 8% to 1% per annum under the January 2018 Convertible Notes; (iv) to extend the repayment date to January 23, 2019, and (iv) to cancel the option granted to Alpha and Chi in July 2016 (“Alpha Chi Option”).
The change in terms of the January 2018 Convertible Notes, including the cancellation of the warrants was accounted for as an extinguishment of the convertible notes and the issuance of new convertible notes. The Company recorded a finance expense in the amount of 18,415,471in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss and an increase to Additional Paid-in Capital in the Statement of Shareholder’ Equity (Deficit) of $21.6 million as a result of the transaction.
The Company further concluded that the post amended convertible notes contain a beneficial conversion feature equal to the par value of the January 2018 Convertible Notes ($956,209) and accordingly recorded a discount on the January 2018 Convertible Notes, to be amortized to finance expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss over the term of the January 2018 Convertible Notes.
The Company accounted for the Alpha Chi Option as derivative liabilities that are measured at their far value at each period end, with changes in fair value recorded as finance expense or income. The fair value of the Alpha Chi Option at December 31, 2017 was nil, and at the date of cancellation was $2,186,629. The Company recorded a finance loss of $2,186,629 during the period from December 31, 2017 through the extinguishment date of the Alpha Chi Option as a result of the change in the fair value of the derivative liability.

Changes in Shares of Preferred Stock During the First Quarter of 2018
On January 4, 2018, the Company, Emerald Israel, Alpha Capital Ansalt (“Alpha”) and Chi Squared Inc. (“Chi,” and Alpha and Chi together, the “Preferred Shareholders”), entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Preferred Shareholders agreed to cancel their shares of Series A Preferred Convertible Stock in return for the receipt of up to $250,000 of proceeds from the liquidation of Emerald Israel, to the extent that such liquidation yields net positive proceeds (“Excess Net Assets”). As such, as of March 31, 2018, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Convertible Stock outstanding. Management’s best estimate of the potential value of the Excess Net Assets at the date of the cancellation of the shares of Series A Preferred Convertible Stock was $150,000 and therefore, the Company recorded a charge to Additional Paid-in Capital in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit) with a corresponding credit to liabilities. Management’s best estimate of the potential value of the Excess Net Assets as of March 31, 2018, was nil. Accordingly, the Company recorded a finance income of $150,000 in its Statement of Comprehensive Loss a result of the reversal of the relating liability.

Business Overview
On January 17, 2018, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Israel, Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating, allowing and supporting purchase and/or sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, personal computers (“PCs”) and/or mobile devices. On January 29, 2018, the Company ceased the DermaCompare operations of its former subsidiary, Emerald Israel, and on May 2, 2018, the District Court of Lod gave a winding-up order for Emerald Israel and nominated an Israeli advocate as a special executor to Emerald Israel.
In March 2018, the Company changed its name from “Emerald Medical Applications Corp.” to “Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc.” to reflect its new operations and business focus, and the Company’s trading symbol changed from MRLA to VRCP on the OTCQB.
Plan of Operations and Recent Developments
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
On January 17, 2018, the Company formed Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd. as a new wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Israel (“Virtual Crypto Israel”) and reported the appointment of Mr. Alon Dayan as CEO of the new subsidiary. Virtual Crypto Israel was formed to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating, allowing and supporting purchase and/or sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, personal computers (“PCs”) and/or mobile devices (the “Products”).
In March 2018, the Company changed its name from “Emerald Medical Applications Corp.” to “Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc.” to reflect its new operations and business focus, and the Company’s trading symbol changed from MRLA to VRCP on the OTCQB.
The Company, through its fully owned Israeli subsidiary Virtual Crypto Israel, has developed the NetoBit Trader, a proprietary, Cryptographic algorithmic technology that it is able to confirm in real-time the purchase or sale of any cryptocurrency. The Company’s NetoBit products dramatically improve the cryptocurrency trading experience with faster execution and lower costs, setting a new time to transaction standard, trading in seconds rather the industry norm of 20 minutes. Because of its speed, the Company’s customers enjoy the best crypto exchange rate at the point of transaction. The Company is marketing its NetoBit Trader software and hardware products for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, PCs and/or mobile devices (collectively, the “VC Products”). The Company further believes that the ability to immediately confirm cryptocurrency transactions in real-time should be a major competitive breakthrough in making the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies user friendly.
The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on January 24, 2018, reporting that through Virtual Crypto Israel subsidiary, it entered into a binding term sheet (the “Chiron Term Sheet”) with Chiron Refineries Ltd. (“Chiron”), a public company listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE: CHR). Pursuant to the Chiron Term Sheet (i) Virtual Crypto Israel, shall appoint a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chiron, under the laws of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, as the exclusive distributor of Virtual Crypto Israel’s Products in the territory of the Republic of Turkey, including the territory of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (the “Territory”); and (ii) the distributor shall have the right to appoint sub-distributors within the Territory. The appointment of the Chiron subsidiary as distributor is subject to the payment by the distributor to Virtual Crypto Israel of $250,000 as an appointment fee, of which $150,000 shall be deemed an advance payment by the distributor made on account of future purchases of the Company’s Products.
The Company further granted such distributor an option, exercisable by the Distributor within 12 months from the date on which the ATM Product, including the related software and hardware, is fully tested and ready for installation and operation, to be appointed as an exclusive distributor of the Products for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If the option is exercised, the distributor shall pay Virtual Crypto Israel an appointment fee not higher than $250,000.To date, $50,000 has been paid by such distributor to Virtual Crypto Israel.

The appointment of such distributor is subject to the payment by the distributor to Virtual Crypto Israel of US$250,000 (the “Appointment Fee”). An amount of $150,000 of the total Appointment Fee shall be deemed an advance payment by the Distributor, made on account of future purchases of the Company’s Products and related services.
As a result of the foregoing, the disclosure under “Results of Operations During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017” is not comparable and should not be relied upon in evaluating or understanding the Company. Reference is made to the disclosure under “Note 11. Subsequent Events” included in the Company’s Annual.
Results of Operations During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
Our research and development expenses were $54,011 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to nil during the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to research and development expenses in the development for our virtual crypto products.
Our general and administrative expenses increased to $1,064,283 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $68,650 during the same period in the prior year. The significant increase was due to non-cash consulting expenses paid by way of issuances of the Company’s shares and warrants to certain consultants who assisted in the establishment of the new business.
Interest expense increased to $19,374,082 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared $198,450 during the same period in the prior year. The significant increase during the period in 2018 was primarily as a result of the changes of the terms of certain convertible notes that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Financing Activities During the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2018
Issuance of equity during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company received the aggregate amount of $1,673,800 from “accredited investors” in consideration for the issuance of 23,876,427 of the Company’s units (the “Units”), at an offering price of $0.07 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of: (i) one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”); (ii) one common stock purchase warrant exercisable for a period of twelve months to purchase one additional Share at an exercise price of $0.14 per share (“Class F Warrant”); and (iii) one common stock purchase warrant exercisable for a period of twelve months to purchase one additional Share at an exercise price of $0.28 per share (“Class G Warrant”) (the “$0.07 Unit Offering”). The offer and sale of the Units, without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), was made in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation S and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
In addition, during March 2018, an additional $117,150 was received from other “accredited investors” under the $0.07 Unit Offering, who subscribed from 571,429 Units, which were issued in April 2018 and are reflected as Receipt on Account of Shares in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity as of March 31, 2018.
On February 8, 2018, the Company issued 571,429 units of the Company’s securities to two accredited investors in respect of $80,000 which was received in August 2017 (“August 2017 Financing”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 reflects current assets of $1,478,498 consisting of cash of $1,449,795 and assets held for sale in respect of our discontinued operations of $28,703. We also have $921,270in current liabilities consisting of $206,304 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $50,000 of deferred revenues, $16,667 employee payable, $1,922 in accrued interest, short-term portion of convertible notes of $186,412 and liabilities held of sale in respect of our discontinued operations of $459,965. As of December 31, 2017, we had current assets of $15,181 consisting of $2,959 in cash and other receivables of $12,222. As of December 31, 2017, we had fixed assets, net of $14,290, $1,011,941 in current liabilities consisting of $445,653 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $82,331 in accounts payable to related party, $98,476 employee payable, $67,846 in accrued interest, and short-term portion of convertible notes of $317,635.
We had working capital of $557,228as of March 31, 2018, as compared to negative working capital of $996,760 at December 31, 2017. Our total liabilities as of March 31, 2018 were $921,270, as compared to $1,618,106 at December 31, 2017.
During the period ended March 31, 2018, we had negative cash flow from continuing operations of $345,449, which was the result of a net loss of $20,802,376, increase in accrued interest and amortization of discount on convertible notes of $20,165,406 and $892,300shares and warrants issued for services, offset by net changes in working capital of $600,799.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had no cash flow effect from investing activities.
During the period ended March 31, 2018, we had positive cash flow from financing activities of $1,792,185, which was the result of $1,574,972 proceeds from issuance of equity, $117,150 of receipt on account of shares, $100,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and $63 for the eservice of options.
There are no limitations in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation on the Company’s ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of shares of its common stock to affect a business combination. The Company’s limited resources and lack of having cash-generating business operations may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. The Company’s limitations to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted capital stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination.
Until such time as the Company can generate substantial revenues, the Company expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of the sale of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, debt financing and strategic alliances and collaborations. The Company does not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of its stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business. If the Company raises funds through additional collaborations or strategic alliances with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our future revenue streams and/or distribution arrangements. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financings when needed or on attractive terms, the Company may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate the operations of some or all of its business segments.
The Company has only limited capital. Additional financing is necessary for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent auditors have unqualified audit opinion for the period ended December 31, 2017 with an explanatory paragraph on going concern.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional equity financing will provide the opportunity to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of March 31, 2018 under the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) because of certain material weaknesses. As of such date, the Company had neither the resources, nor the personnel, to provide an adequate control environment.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The Company’s control systems are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

On December 12, 2016, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that at a meeting of its Board of Directors held on November 18, 2016, at which meeting the majority of the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the termination of Lior Wayn as CEO/president of the Company and of its wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Emerald Israel. The termination of Mr. Wayn as an executive officer of the Company and Emerald Israel was “for cause” as described more fully in such Form 8-K. In addition, the Form 8-K further reported that in connection with, Mr. Wayn’s termination as an executive officer, Mr. Wayn was removed as a director of the Companying accordance with the provisions of Section 141(k) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware based upon the written consent of the holders of the majority of the Company’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding at November 16, 2016.
In April 2017, a lawsuit was filed with the Tel Aviv, Israel court by Mr. Wayn claiming certain damages to the total amount of $100,000, under the assertion of wrongful dismissal by the Company and Emerald Israel. The Company believes these claims to be unsubstantiated and wholly without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The Company believes that Mr. Wayn will not be successful in his claim. Nevertheless, the Company believes that the outcome of the proceeding will not materially affect the Company.
In December 2017, a liquidation request was filed with the Tel Aviv District Court by a group of former employees of Emerald Israel, under the assertion of delay of pay and insolvency. On December 20, 2017, at a hearing before the court, it was ordered that Emerald Israel shall settle its pension debts to the former employees under applicable Israeli law within 21 days and settle its other debts to them in 60 days, the failure of which would result in a winding-up order (the equivalent of a liquidation) being potentially issued. Based on the collaboration of Emerald Israel and its former employees and the fact that the Company was in negotiation with third-parties for the infusion of equity capital and has started negotiating the sale of certain assets, the Company’s legal advisors believe that the liquidation claim will be dismissed by the court. The amounts being claimed by the former employees were less than $96,000 and are included in current liabilities at March 31, 2018.
On January 29, 2018, the Company transferred the ordinary shares of its former Israeli subsidiary, Emerald Israel, to Attorney Eviatar Knoller, Esq., with offices at 20 Lincoln, Tel Aviv-Jaffa 6713412, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The purpose of the transfer of the management shares to the Trustee, pursuant to resolution of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, was to enable the Trustee to liquidate the management shares and/or the assets of Emerald Israel to satisfy its debts and satisfy its financial obligations to former employees. As a result, the former employees of Emerald Israel commenced an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in Israel to liquidate Emerald Israel and use any assets to satisfy the debts owed to the former employees.
On April 24, 2018, Emerald Israel announced to the District Court of Lod, Tel Aviv about the failure in contracting a buyer for its technology at market price and therefore that Emerald Israel is no longer opposed to the requested Liquidation Warrant. On May 1, 2018, the Official Receiver submitted its response to the court, stating that according to such announcement of Emerald Israel, it did not oppose the requested Liquidation Warrant either. Based on both the Company’s and the Official Receiver’s position, on May 2, 2018, the District Court of Lod has given a Winding-up Order in Emerald Israel’s file and temporarily nominated Adv. Hanit Nov as a Special Executor to Emerald Ltd.
