Overview 

 

Management Update and Business Review

 

The Company’s entire executive leadership, strategic management, and core operations are based in Israel, operating through its wholly owned subsidiary CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and its majority-owned subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (renamed SkyTech Orion Ltd. in May 2025). 

 

On October 7, 2023, a large-scale war broke out in Israel, leading to a prolonged national crisis. The war created widespread uncertainty and instability in the country, disrupted the Israeli economy, and adversely affected the Company’s operations. Since the outbreak of the conflict, the Company has continued to face significant disruptions. The Company continued to pursue its wellness and plant-based health operations. However, since the outbreak of the war in Israel, and its prolonged impact, the Company has experienced disruptions and material delays in its operations, product development investments, fundraising activities, and international marketing and sales efforts, and particularly plans for entry into the U.S. market. 

 

In light of these delays and the evolving business environment, management initiated an internal review aimed at broadening the Company’s scope of activity and preparing for additional areas of development.

 

A particular focus was placed on the Company’s government-supported industrial land in Yerucham, Israel - a highly strategic asset with substantial potential, located in a designated national innovation and industrial zone.

 

Specifically, the Company has reviewed its strategic land asset in Yerucham in the context of its unique platform of Innovation and Operational Centers, with the objective of aligning this important asset with evolving national priorities and global industry needs. During the process of evaluation, the Company identified a unique opportunity to realign its operations with Israel’s evolving national priorities, leveraging its most strategic asset of industrial land in Yerucham, acquired through a government-supported program and now located in a region designated as a national hub for UAV and drone solutions.

 

In Q4 2024 the company decided to focus its activities on the UAV and drone industry. This evaluation reflects management’s view of the Yerucham site as a significant resource with substantial potential for long-term development and value creation for the Company.

 

The Company holds the following equity interests and real property assets:

 

ØEquity Interest – 100% in CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd.

The agreement requires development within four years (with possible extensions subject to ILA approval). Upon completion, the Company will be granted a 49-year renewable lease, considered equivalent to ownership rights under Israeli public land law.

Description of our Business:

 

The Company was primarily engaged in the field of wellness and plant-based health solutions, in line with its long-term strategy in previous years. Activities included the development of proprietary product lines, strategic collaborations, and minority investments in companies such as iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd., aimed at commercializing wellness and nutritional supplement products. As part of this strategy, the Company planned to launch its wellness products in the United States during 2024, subject to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals.

 

However, the outbreak of war in Israel on October 7, 2023, and its ongoing impact on the Israeli economy particularly in international-facing consumer sectors the Company was unable to move forward with its planned launch and its international sales activities and the execution of its planned marketing and strategic initiatives, as well as its fundraising efforts and investment plans.

 

The continued war in Israel, alongside growing regional instability and global security challenges and following an internal review of the evolving situation and the realization that the conflict was ongoing with no clear resolution in sight, the Company’s management initiated a comprehensive strategic reassessment of its business direction and long-term operational priorities.

 

In October 2024, the Company undertook a strategic reassessment of its operations and future direction, with a particular focus on its key company’s asset government-supported industrial land in Yerucham, Israel, held through its Israeli subsidiary. the Yerucham site emerged as a uniquely strategic location for defense innovation, benefiting from its designation as Israel’s national UAV testing field and its integration into a broader ecosystem supported by the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Economy, Israel Innovation Authority, and Yerucham Municipality.

 

Leveraging its proprietary Operational Innovation Centers’ Platform, its strategically located, government-supported industrial land in Yerucham, and the leadership of its CEO and Chairwoman, Ora Elharar Soffer who brings decades of experience in the high-tech, defense, and strategic development sectors, the Company identified a unique opportunity to realign its operations toward the high-impact sector of defense and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) solutions.

 

In response to evolving national priorities and the growing global demand for secure, Israeli-made defense capabilities, the Company, through its Israeli subsidiary, submitted a comprehensive proposal to the Israeli Ministry of Economy to establish a new national innovation and production center to be named “SkyTech Center”. This initiative focuses on the development, production, and integration of advanced UAV and drone solutions, designed to support both Israeli defense needs and international markets.

 

On January 12, 2025, the Company was officially selected by the Government of Israel to lead a flagship national project in the military UAV and drone sector. SkyTech was chosen from among numerous applicants competing for inclusion in this strategic program, following a comprehensive government selection process.

 

As part of this designation, the Company was awarded a development grant of NIS 12.5 million (approximately $3.4 million) by the Israeli Ministry of Economy one of the largest grants granted under the government’s national defense and innovation initiatives. In addition to the grant, SkyTech was approved for a range of complementary benefits, including corporate tax incentives, employment and training support, import/export facilitation, and regulatory guidance designed to accelerate the establishment and expansion of the SkyTech Center.

 

The SkyTech Center is planned to serve as Israel’s national hub for innovation and manufacturing in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), tailored to the operational needs of the defense sector. It will provide the infrastructure for research, development, assembly, testing, and integration of advanced unmanned systems, all in full compliance with Israeli and international defense regulations and export standards.

 

As a result, the SkyTech Center is being established as a national flagship project and a strategic assembly and production hub in Israel, dedicated to the defense sector, with a focus on UAVs, drones, AI-powered platforms, Western-grade critical components, and advanced defense solutions tailored to military applications in the field of UAV and drone solutions.

 

The Company views this transition as a pivotal strategic move that enables it to operate in one of the most impactful and rapidly expanding sectors in Israel and globally particularly in the defense arena.

 

In recent years, drones and UAVs have revolutionized modern warfare, offering new capabilities in intelligence gathering, situational awareness, real-time targeting, and operational efficiency. As militaries seek agile, cost-effective, and unmanned solutions to meet evolving battlefield needs, the global demand for drone-based defense systems is accelerating rapidly.

 

Israel, known for its technological leadership and combat-proven innovations, is emerging as a global center for drone and UAV development. The war-driven urgency, coupled with strategic investments by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and allied nations, has positioned this sector as one of the most dynamic and vital areas of defense solution.

 

Amid wartime disruptions and changing geopolitical realities, drones and UAVs have emerged as the next generation of defense technology a field in which Israel is now seen as a global leader, and one where demand is expected to continue rising significantly.

Description of The Wellness and Plant-Based Business:

 

The Company operates in the field of plant-based wellness & pharma solutions with a vision to help improve people’s health and quality of life.

 

The global health and wellness market is expected to reach USD 7.6 trillion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2030 1 with growing awareness of health and wellness solutions for improving people’s quality of life2.

 

We are witnessing a global movement of health and wellbeing becoming a priority for the public. There is increasing recognition that people need to take charge of their own health, improve their quality of life, use natural products, and balance side effects caused by medicines and treatment3.

 

We believe the power of plant-based solutions from nature can help improve people’s health and quality of life. Our business activity is primarily composed of developing wellness and pharma solutions, focused on science backed plant-based products to improve quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing side effects caused by using medicines, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle.

 

We have built an end-to-end strategy to bring to market on a global scale innovative plant-based wellness and pharma solutions covering the whole spectrum from innovation, research and development, product development, infrastructure for production and manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales.

 

We seek to bring to the market wellness and pharma innovative products, such as food supplements, healthy snacks, healthy beverages and natural cosmetics, to help improve people’s health and quality of life and complementary products that aim to balance selected side effects associated with medicines, treatments or an unbalanced lifestyle.

 

Leveraging technology and research, we are focused on developing a products portfolio based on rigorous scientific research ranging from synergistic botanicals, herbal extract, tinctures, medicinal mushrooms together with plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, botanical formulations from seeds, roots, bark, fruits, and a wide variety of plants that contain substances with health-supportive effects. Such supportive effects include, but are not limited to, enhancing oral care, anti-inflammatory properties, relaxation, sleep enhancement, energizing, mood and body balancing, alleviating side effects, and more.

 

We have plant-based formulations and product lines targeting the nutritional supplements market that is expected to reach $625 billion by 20304.

 

We started beta-testing several products in the Israeli market with plans for an international network focusing on the U.S. market through local teams, distributors, online and physical shops and collaboration with partners worldwide.

 

Our presence in Israel combined with our close contacts with leading universities, researchers, companies, shareholders and governmental support, allows us to access the latest technologies, talent, and innovation to bring innovative solutions to the global market. 

 

As mentioned, we planned to launch the products in the US and other territories after obtaining all relevant regulatory approvals. However, the current war in Gaza has significantly affected the Israeli economy, which has directly impacted our ability to launch our products in the US currently. We have revised our business plans given the local situation on the ground, as described further on.

 

Strategic Alliance and Investment in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd.

 

We have a strategic alliance and manufacturing agreement with iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd., an affiliated company and GMP-certified manufacturing facility approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health. Together, we are developing and manufacturing our nutritional supplement product lines.

 

On December 31, 2023, we acquired a 19% equity stake in iBOT on a fully diluted basis, in exchange for 70,370,370 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.027 per share, reflecting a $10 million valuation based on an independent third-party report.

 

We also received an option, exercisable through June 30, 2024, to increase our holdings to 51%, with additional consideration in shares (at $0.027 per share) and cash to fund iBOT’s 24-month operating budget. In June 2024, and following a review of the Company’s strategic priorities, the Board determined not to exercise the option, which has since expired, leaving the Company with its current 19% holding in iBOT.

 

Alliance and Investment in MyPlant Bio Ltd.

About Our Operational Innovation Centers’ Platform

 

One of the Company’s most significant strategic assets is its government-supported industrial land located in Yerucham, Israel, held through its subsidiary, Cannovation Center Israel Ltd.

 

The property covers approximately 11,687 square meters (125,000 square feet) and was secured as part of Israel’s national industrial development initiative. Approximately 90% of the acquisition cost was subsidized by government programs aimed at promoting regional development and technological advancement. The site is designated for the establishment of an Operational Innovation Center in the city of Yerucham.

 

In line with the Company’s infrastructure and scalability strategy, a key land asset in Yerucham, Israel, was designated for the development of a proprietary Operational Innovation Center Platform.

 

This modular and scalable infrastructure model was intended to support the Company’s business growth by enabling the delivery of end-to-end solutions across its areas of activity, including product development, production, and commercialization.

 

The platform was initiated and developed under the leadership of the Company’s Israeli subsidiary, Cannovation Center Israel Ltd., with the goal of establishing specialized innovation centers to support both internal operations and external strategic collaborations.

 

Each innovation center was envisioned as an integrated operational ecosystem offering a wide range of core capabilities, including:

 

  Research and development laboratories
     
  Manufacturing and product formulation infrastructure
     
  Quality assurance and testing
     
  Import/export and logistics support
     
  Distribution and go-to-market operations
     
  Services for both the Company’s proprietary product lines and third-party client

 

As part of our strategic focus on the botanical wellness and pharma sector, we plan to establish Green Vision Center as the first Operational Innovation Center within our platform.

 

The center is planned to be built in Yerucham, Israel, and will serve as a dedicated hub for the development, manufacturing, and global commercialization of plant-based wellness and pharma products.

 

We have secured a government-supported land grant for approximately 11,687 square meters (about 125,000 square feet) of industrial land in Yerucham, a city in southern Israel, with about 90% of the acquisition cost subsidized through Israel national programs that promote industrial development.

 

However, following the outbreak of the war in Israel on October 7, 2023, and the resulting impact on the overall business environment, the strategic focus of the platform entered a period of uncertainty. Management initiated a review of the Company’s industrial land asset in Yerucham and began assessing its potential utilization and suitability under the new circumstances, taking into account the heightened uncertainty affecting Israel’s economic and operational landscape.

In October 2024, the Company undertook a strategic reassessment of its operations and future direction, with a particular focus on its key company’s asset government-supported industrial land in Yerucham, Israel, held through its Israeli subsidiary. the Yerucham site emerged as a uniquely strategic location for defense innovation, benefiting from its designation as Israel’s national UAV testing field and its integration into a broader ecosystem supported by the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Economy, Israel Innovation Authority, and Yerucham Municipality.

 

Leveraging its proprietary Operational Innovation Centers’ Platform, its strategically located, government-supported industrial land in Yerucham, and the leadership of its CEO and Chairwoman, Ora Elharar Soffer who brings decades of experience in the high-tech, defense, and strategic development sectors, the Company identified a unique opportunity to realign its operations toward the high-impact sector of defense and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) solutions.

 

In response to evolving national priorities and the growing global demand for secure, Israeli-made defense capabilities, the Company, through its Israeli subsidiary, submitted a comprehensive proposal to the Israeli Ministry of Economy to establish a new national innovation and production center to be named “SkyTech Center”. This initiative focuses on the development, production, and integration of advanced UAV and drone solutions, designed to support both Israeli defense needs and international markets.

 

On January 12, 2025, the Company was officially selected by the Government of Israel to lead a flagship national project in the military UAV and drone sector. SkyTech was chosen from among numerous applicants competing for inclusion in this strategic program, following a comprehensive government selection process.

 

As part of this designation, the Company was awarded a development grant of NIS 12.5 million (approximately $3.4 million) by the Israeli Ministry of Economy one of the largest grants granted under the government’s national defense and innovation initiatives. In addition to the grant, SkyTech was approved for a range of complementary benefits, including corporate tax incentives, employment and training support, import/export facilitation, and regulatory guidance designed to accelerate the establishment and expansion of the SkyTech Center.

 

The SkyTech Center is planned to serve as Israel’s national hub for innovation and manufacturing in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), tailored to the operational needs of the defense sector. It will provide the infrastructure for research, development, assembly, testing, and integration of advanced unmanned systems, all in full compliance with Israeli and international defense regulations and export standards.

 

As a result, the SkyTech Center is being established as a national flagship project and a strategic assembly and production hub in Israel, dedicated to the defense sector, with a focus on UAVs, drones, AI-powered platforms, Western-grade critical components, and advanced defense solutions tailored to military applications in the field of UAV and drone solutions.

 

The Company views this transition as a pivotal strategic move that enables it to operate in one of the most impactful and rapidly expanding sectors in Israel and globally particularly in the defense arena.

 

In recent years, drones and UAVs have revolutionized modern warfare, offering new capabilities in intelligence gathering, situational awareness, real-time targeting, and operational efficiency. As militaries seek agile, cost-effective, and unmanned solutions to meet evolving battlefield needs, the global demand for drone-based defense systems is accelerating rapidly.

 

Israel, known for its technological leadership and combat-proven innovations, is emerging as a global center for drone and UAV development. The war-driven urgency, coupled with strategic investments by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and allied nations, has positioned this sector as one of the most dynamic and vital areas of defense solution.

 

Amid wartime disruptions and changing geopolitical realities, drones and UAVs have emerged as the next generation of defense technology a field in which Israel is now seen as a global leader, and one where demand is expected to continue rising significantly.

 

Israel as a Source of Innovation

 

Our presence in Israel combined with our close contacts with leading universities, researchers and companies empowers us to access the latest technologies, talent, and innovations and bring them to the global market.

 

We chose to focus on Israel for the following reasons:

 

  Israel is well positioned as a leader in technology with a critical mass of technology companies, researchers, and scientists8.
  Our headquarters, our executives and strategic partners are based in Israel, where we have been operating for years and have a strong network with Israeli companies, universities, labs, entrepreneurs, and businesses.
  The Israeli government views and supports technological innovation a major growth engine for the Israeli economy and supports it. The government support includes grants for the purchase of equipment, tax incentives, incentives for employing workers, and other benefits as part of a program of the Israeli government to encourages industrial development and benefits for the city of Yerucham. On January 12, 2025, the Company was officially selected by the Government of Israel to lead a flagship national project in the military UAV and drone sector. As part of this designation, the Company was awarded a development grant of NIS 12.5 million (approximately $3.4 million) by the Israeli Ministry of Economy one of the largest grants granted under the government’s national defense and innovation initiatives.
  We acquired land in the south of Israel, backed by government support, to build our first operational innovation center dedicated to wellness and pharma technologies.

Market Opportunity

 

UAVs & Drones - the weapons of future wars

 

UAVs and drones are transforming modern and future warfare. Conflicts in Ukraine and Israel (e.g., the Iron Swords War), as well as proxy engagements with Iran, have exposed vulnerabilities in traditional defense paradigms and emphasized the strategic value of drones.

 

In Ukraine, drones are responsible for 60–70% of battlefield damage and most casualties. This shift has created a “zone of continuous death” up to 15 km from the front lines. Meanwhile, Iran and its proxies have developed advanced drone capabilities and supplied them to nations like Russia. Systems such as the Homa, Dideban, and Shahin-1 are now deployed across the region.

 

Market Projections1:

 

● Aerial Systems: Expected to reach $163.6B by 2030 (CAGR 14.3%).

● Commercial Drones: $57.8B by 2030; Drones-as-a-Service: $179.3B.

 

Market of FPV (small) Drones

 

The war in Ukraine has dramatically accelerated the evolution of tactical small drones and loitering munitions into essential tools of modern warfare. Ukrainian forces have demonstrated the battlefield dominance of mass-produced tactical drones, capable of neutralizing enemy assets worth hundreds or thousands of times more than the cost of each drone. These affordable, scalable systems have become front-line force multipliers, reshaping the nature of asymmetric warfare.

 

Ukrainian industry is now producing hundreds of thousands of tactical drones annually, with current demand already surpassing one million units per year — underscoring the scale at which modern conflicts require drone-based combat capabilities. Driven by these urgent operational lessons, the global market for tactical small drones and autonomous loitering systems is projected to grow from $6.4 billion in 2025 to $11.25 billion by 20302.

 

Autonomous drones represent the fastest-growing segment due to their flexibility, speed to field, and battlefield effectiveness.

Regulatory Environment –in the Defense UAV Sector

 

The Company began transitioning into the defense and aerospace sector, with a specific focus on the development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones, and modular FPV systems.

 

This new line of activity operates under a distinct and stringent regulatory framework. In Israel, the production and commercialization of UAV and drone systems—especially for military or security-related use—require compliance with regulations issued by the Ministry of Defense (MOD), the Directorate of Security for the Defense Establishment (MALMAB), and, where relevant, export control regulations governed by the Israeli Export Control Agency. Manufacturing processes may also require approvals or licenses related to dual-use technologies or restricted components.

 

In parallel, the Company is developing UAV platforms based solely on certified, Western-approved components, in accordance with applicable international and U.S. defense compliance protocols. This approach ensures compatibility with future expansion into U.S. and NATO markets and aligns with evolving Western regulations prohibiting the use of Chinese-origin components in sensitive defense systems.

 

The Company is currently advancing the regulatory and certification processes required to enter these markets and will continue to disclose its progress in regulatory compliance and operational readiness in future reports, in accordance with applicable disclosure rules.

 

Regulatory Compliance for Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (renamed SkyTech Orion Ltd. in Q2 2025)
 

We acquired approximately 125,000 sq. ft. (11,687 sqm) of industrial land in the south of Israel, designated for the development of the Cannovation Israel Center. The planned 65,000 sq. ft. (~5,800 sqm) facility will include advanced manufacturing spaces, logistics and distribution areas, import/export infrastructure, office space, a training and conference center, and a visitor complex for international partners.

 

The development of the center is subject to a range of regulatory approvals and compliance processes, including but not limited to:

 

  Industrial zoning and building permits from the local planning and building committee;
  Environmental permits as required by the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection;
  Fire and safety compliance, including authorization from the National Fire and Rescue Authority;
  Occupational health and safety approvals;
  Import/export licensing from the Ministry of Economy and relevant customs authorities;
  Security and defense-related certifications, where applicable, especially if the site will support activities related to UAV or defense technologies;

 

The construction will be carried out by a professional real estate project management firm, and the Company is currently in the process of retaining regulatory consultants and engineering professionals with experience in industrial and defense-compliant infrastructure to oversee the permitting and compliance process.

 

We expect to complete the permitting phase in accordance with Israeli law and submit the final detailed engineering and construction plans for approval in line with the project timeline. The Company will continue to report on progress and compliance as part of its disclosure obligations.

 

The defense UAV market is strategically significant, technologically advanced, and driven by the increasing demand for secure, mission-ready unmanned systems. In Israel, the sector is predominantly led by three long-established defense contractors Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) which have historically served as the primary UAV providers to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and allied partners.

 

To promote competition, encourage innovation, and diversify the supplier base, the Israeli government has introduced strategic programs and funding initiatives designed to support new players in the defense UAV ecosystem. These include grants, tax incentives, and infrastructure development support. SkyTech was selected under one of these national initiatives and received government-backed incentives to establish its Operational Innovation Center in Yerucham. The Company’s activities are actively supported by various ministries and agencies, including the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Economy, and the Civil Aviation Authority.

 

17

 

 

Importantly, the IDF itself is investing significant resources in Israeli companies and technologies, and has shown strong support for SkyTech’s platform, which is aligned with national objectives to expand local production capacity, technological independence, and operational agility.

 

Internationally, while global UAV markets include dominant commercial players such as DJI — a leading Chinese drone manufacturer — their platforms are widely banned or restricted in Western defense applications due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities, foreign ownership, and regulatory incompatibility. This creates a strategic opportunity for companies like SkyTech, which is fully committed to using only certified, non-Chinese, Western-approved components that meet Israeli, U.S., NATO, and other allied defense standards.

 

A key competitive advantage of the Company lies in its binational structure: through its U.S.-based corporate entity, the Company gains direct access to the American defense market, aligns with U.S. regulatory and security frameworks (such as ITAR and NDAA), and establishes a strategic bridge between Israeli innovation and global defense demand. This dual presence enables cross-border collaboration, rapid deployment capabilities, and participation in multinational procurement programs.

 

SkyTech’s model combining Israeli R&D and manufacturing with U.S. market access and global compliance offers an agile, secure, and scalable platform designed to meet the evolving needs of modern defense forces. This integrated approach positions the Company as a credible and trusted emerging supplier in both domestic and international UAV markets.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. The risks described below are not the only risks facing the Company. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

18

 

 

Risks Related to our Financial position

 

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

 

We have been operating in our current business since March 2020. Accordingly, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. As of December 31, 2024, we have not generated revenues and there can be no assurance that we will ever be profitable. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

 

We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the implementation of our business plan. If we fail to generate revenue and eventually become profitable, or if we are unable to fund our continuing losses, our shareholders could lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

 

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to finance our cash requirements, which we may never achieve, we expect to finance our cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or through the establishment of possible strategic alliances. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to secure additional equity funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate, development programs or future commercialization initiatives.

 

In addition, any additional equity funding that we do obtain will dilute the ownership held by our existing security holders.. Any debt financing that we obtain in the future could involve substantial restrictions on activities and creditors could seek a pledge of some or all of our assets. We have not identified potential sources for such financing that we will require, and we do not have commitments from any third parties to provide any future debt financing. If we fail to obtain funding as needed, we may be forced to cease or scale back operations, and our results, financial condition and stock price would be adversely affected.

 

We may never achieve profitability.

 

We are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of future revenue or expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. We have financed our operations primarily through issuance and sale of equity and equity linked securities. The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of growth or contraction of our expenses and the level and rate of growth, if any, of our revenues. We expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things:

 

sales and marketing, including expanding our indirect sales organization and marketing programs;
   
planning and conducting clinical trials to obtain regulatory approval/clearance for the commercialization of our products;
   
expansion of our operations and infrastructure, both domestically and internationally; and
   
general administration, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company.

 

If we are unable to successfully commercialize our products or if revenue from any of our products that receives marketing approval is insufficient, we will not achieve profitability. Furthermore, even if we successfully commercialize our products, our planned investments may not result in increased revenue or growth of our business. We may not be able to generate net revenues sufficient to offset our expected cost increases and planned investments in our business. As a result, we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and may not be able to achieve and sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve and sustain profitability, then we may not be able to achieve our business plan, fund our business or continue as a going concern.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations affect our results of operations, as reported in our financial statements.

 

We incur expenses in U.S. Dollars and in NIS but our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. However, a significant portion of our headcount related expenses, consisting principally of personnel expenses as well as R&D consulting services, leases and certain other operating expenses, are denominated in NIS. This foreign currency exposure gives rise to market risk associated with exchange rate movements of the U.S. dollar against the NIS. Furthermore, we anticipate that a material portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in NIS.

 

In addition, increased international sales in the future may result in greater foreign currency denominated sales, increasing our foreign currency risk. If we are not able to successfully hedge against the risks associated with currency fluctuations, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry and Regulatory Process

 

Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our business.

 

Our business strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may put a strain on our administrative and operational resources and funding requirements. Our ability to effectively manage growth will require us to continue to expand the capabilities of our operational and management systems and to attract, train, manage, and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, particularly if losses continue and we are unable to obtain sufficient financing. If we are unable to successfully manage growth, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our plans are dependent upon key individuals and the ability to attract qualified personnel.

 

In order to execute our business plan, we will be dependent on Ora Elharar Soffer, our Chief Executive Officer and Director. The loss of Ms. Elharar Soffer could have a material adverse effect upon our business prospects. Moreover, our success continues to depend to a significant extent on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train and retain qualified professional, creative, technical and managerial personnel.

 

19

 

 

Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, attracting, hiring, training, and retaining such personnel in the future. If we are unable to hire, assimilate and retain qualified personnel in the future, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely effected. We may also depend on third party contractors and other partners to assist with the execution of our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in either attracting and retaining qualified personnel, or creating arrangements with such third parties. The failure to succeed in these endeavors would have a material adverse effect on our ability to consummate our business plans.

 

Failure in the Company’s information technology systems, including by cybersecurity attacks or other data security incidents, could significantly disrupt its operations.

 

Our operations depend, in part, on the continued performance of our information technology systems. Our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptions. Failure of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business, profitability, and financial condition. Although we have information technology security systems, a successful cybersecurity attack or other data security incident could result in the misappropriation and/or loss of confidential or personal information, create system interruptions, or deploy malicious software that attacks our systems. It is possible that we not notice a cybersecurity attack for some period. The occurrence of a cybersecurity attack or incident could result in business interruptions from the disruption of the Company’s information technology systems, or negative publicity resulting in reputational damage with its shareholders and other stakeholders and/or increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events. In addition, the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information could expose the Company or other third parties to regulatory fines or penalties, litigation, and potential liability, or otherwise harm its business.

 

We may grow through mergers or acquisitions, which strategy may not be successful or, if successful, may produce risks in successfully integrating and managing the merged companies or acquisition and may dilute our stockholders.

 

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue mergers and acquisitions of entities and/or assets that we believe will have synergistic and/or other value to us. We currently have no agreements or understandings to merge with or acquire any entity and/or assets and may not find suitable merger or acquisition opportunities. Mergers and acquisitions involve numerous risks, any of which could harm our business, including, without limitation:

 

● difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, existing contracts, accounting processes and personnel of the target and realizing the anticipated synergies of the combined businesses;

 

● difficulties in supporting and transitioning customers of the target company;

 

● diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

 

● the price we pay or other resources that we devote may exceed the value we realize, or the value we could have realized if we had allocated the purchase price or other resources to another opportunity;

 

● entering new markets or areas in which we have limited or no experience;

 

● potential loss of key associates and customers from either our business or the target’s business;

 

● assumption of unanticipated problems or latent liabilities of the target; and

 

● the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs.

 

Mergers and acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subject to potential impairments in the future and that could harm our financial results. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted, which could affect the market price of our common shares. As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate mergers, acquisitions or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such merger or acquisition, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. The failure to successfully evaluate and execute mergers, acquisitions or investments or otherwise adequately address these risks could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be subject to product liability claims which may have a material adverse effect on our business

 

Through our subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel, we developed the nutritional product line containing natural and herbal formulas based on researched and science-based plants, herbal extracts, mushrooms and other natural ingredients. The product lines are manufactured in Israel in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd, iBOT being a related party with which we have manufacturing and strategic cooperation agreements, under a GMP-certified manufacturing facility approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health. the products which may be subject to different regulations for manufacturing, depending on country and product. As these products are designed to be ingested by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of cannabis products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the products produced by us caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products.

 

Regulatory Risks and Compliance Barriers in the Defense UAV Sector

 

As the Company transitions into the defense UAV and drone sector, it becomes subject to a complex and evolving set of local and international regulations, licenses, and restrictions that govern the development, integration, marketing, and export/import of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and related defense technologies.

 

Defense-related UAVs require a variety of approvals from governmental agencies, including — but not limited to — the Israeli Ministry of Defense (MOD), the Ministry of Economy, the Israeli Export Control Agency, the U.S. Department of Commerce (BIS), and the U.S. Department of State under ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations). The failure to secure or maintain such authorizations could delay or prohibit the commercialization of our systems.

 

20

 

 

Furthermore, due to national security considerations, defense UAV platforms often require certified communication systems, secure encryption, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. These technologies may also be subject to export restrictions, especially when involving Western-aligned protocols or encryption modules.

 

Internationally, drone and UAV systems face growing scrutiny related to cybersecurity, data transfer, component origin (e.g., Non-Chinese, Western-approved supply chains), and airspace management protocols. As such, navigating compliance frameworks across multiple jurisdictions can result in delays, added costs, and limitations on potential markets.

 

Import and export of critical components — such as avionics, secure communication modules, military-grade sensors, and flight control systems — may also be subject to embargoes, restricted party screening, and dual-use classification issues. In addition, some components may require government-to-government (G2G) authorization or end-user certification.

 

While the Company is committed to working exclusively with Western-certified components and maintaining strict adherence to defense regulatory protocols, there can be no assurance that all regulatory risks, policy shifts, or geopolitical barriers can be fully anticipated or mitigated. Failure to comply with such requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, commercialization timeline, and financial performance.

 

Regulatory and Licensing Barriers in the Defense Drone and UAV Sector

 

The defense UAV and drone industry is heavily regulated, and the successful commercialization of our platforms is contingent upon obtaining and maintaining a wide range of licenses, certifications, and governmental approvals in both Israel and international markets.

 

In Israel, defense-related UAV activities require compliance with strict national security protocols and multi-tiered regulatory oversight, including:

 

  Approval and classification by the Israeli Ministry of Defense (MOD);
  Export licensing through the Defense Export Controls Agency (DECA);
  Registration and permits under the Ministry of Economy and Industry;
  Airworthiness and integration requirements in accordance with Israeli Civil Aviation Authority guidelines, where applicable;
  Compliance with electromagnetic spectrum management and secure communication regulations;
  Infrastructure compliance for restricted and secure areas, including operational testing sites.

 

Internationally, our products and components may be subject to:

 

Export control regulations including the Wassenaar Arrangement, U.S. EAR (Export Administration Regulations), and ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations);
End-use and end-user certification requirements;
Restrictions based on origin of components, such as mandatory exclusion of Chinese-made parts for eligibility in U.S. and NATO defense programs;
 Limitations imposed by local data protection, cybersecurity, and encryption control laws in target markets.

 

Import and export of subsystems — including military-grade communication modules, navigation sensors, payloads, and propulsion systems — are particularly sensitive and may be delayed or blocked based on national security considerations, requiring government-to-government authorizations or bilateral defense agreements.

 

These layers of regulation may delay the Company’s entry into certain markets, increase operational complexity and costs, or restrict access to critical technologies. Although the Company proactively engages with government stakeholders and defense authorities to navigate these frameworks, there can be no assurance that all regulatory risks, delays, or policy shifts will be avoided.

 

Failure to secure or maintain the required licenses and authorizations could materially affect our ability to manufacture, market, or export UAV systems and related technologies, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Product Recalls May Harm Our Reputation and Operations

 

The Company operates in multiple regulated industries, including wellness and plant-based consumer products, as well as the defense drone and UAV sector through our SkyTech Orion division. Each of these sectors is exposed to different product safety risks and potential recall scenarios.

 

For our wellness and natural product lines, product recalls may result from contamination, adverse reactions, packaging defects, or inaccurate labelling. Such recalls may result in regulatory scrutiny, legal claims, loss of sales, reputational damage, and unplanned operational costs.

 

As we expand into the defense UAV market, additional recall and liability risks arise in relation to the functionality, reliability, and safety of our drone platforms and subsystems. Defense clients — including governmental entities — require strict compliance with safety, airworthiness, and performance standards. Any failure in flight control, communications, payload reliability, or mission-critical performance may trigger operational halts, recalls, or even contract termination.

 

Although the Company implements rigorous quality assurance protocols for all product categories, including testing, certification, and traceability, there is no guarantee that defects or failures will be identified in advance. In both the wellness and UAV sectors, a product recall could divert management resources, damage customer trust, and have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and financial condition.

 

Furthermore, any recall particularly in the defense sector could result in reputational harm that extends beyond the affected product and impairs future sales, tenders, or strategic collaborations. In addition, recalls may increase regulatory oversight and lead to increased compliance costs, legal exposure, and potential penalties.

 

Our officers and directors may be subject to conflict of interest.

 

The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.

 

In addition, the Company may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of certain directors and the officers who may from time-to-time deal with persons, firms, institutions or companies with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by it. The interests of these persons could conflict with those of the Company. In addition, from time to time, these persons may be competing with the Company for available investment opportunities. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, in the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

 

We face significant competition in the market.

 

We face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than the Company. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company

 

We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage and in the case of liability the lack of adequate insurance may have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We have insurance to protect our assets, operations and employees. While we believe our insurance coverage addresses all material risks to which may be exposed and is adequate and customary in our current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which the Company is exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover the Company’s liabilities or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Company were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if the Company were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Research and development and product obsolescence may impair our ability to compete in our target market.

 

Rapidly changing markets, technology, emerging industry standards and frequent introduction of new products characterize our business. The introduction of new products embodying new technologies, including new manufacturing processes, and the emergence of new industry standards may render our planned product offerings obsolete, less competitive or less marketable. The process of developing our planned products is complex and requires significant continuing costs, development efforts and third-party commitments The Company’s failure to develop new technologies and products and the obsolescence of existing technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The Company’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to enhance its existing technologies, develop new technology that addresses the increasing sophistication and varied needs of the market, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of the Company’s proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. The Company may not be successful in using its new technologies or exploiting its niche markets effectively or adapting its businesses to evolving customer or medical requirements or preferences or emerging industry standards.

It may be difficult to enforce a judgment of a U.S. court against us and our executive officers and directors in Israel or the United States, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on our executive officers and directors.

 

While we were incorporated in Delaware, all of our executive officers and directors reside outside of the United States, and all of our assets and most of the assets of these persons are located outside of the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained against us, or any of these persons, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not be enforced by an Israeli court. It also may be difficult for you to effect service of process on these persons in the United States or to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to initiate an action with respect to U.S. securities laws in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact by expert witnesses, which can be a time consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel that addresses the matters described above. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing a judgment against us in Israel, you may not be able to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.

 

The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, and our ability to perform clinical trials, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

We intend to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials (if needed). If these third parties do not meet our deadlines or otherwise conduct the trials as required, our clinical trials programs could be delayed or unsuccessful and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates when expected or at all.

 

We may conduct clinical trials on our products. We do not have the ability to conduct all aspects of our clinical trials ourselves. We may rely upon medical institutions, clinical investigators and contract research organizations, or CROs, and consultants to conduct these trials in accordance with our clinical protocols. Our future CROs, investigators and other third parties play a significant role in the conduct of these trials and the subsequent collection and analysis of data from the clinical trials.

 

There is no guarantee that any CROs, investigators and other third parties upon which we rely for administration and conduct of clinical trials will devote adequate time and resources to such trials or perform as contractually required. If any of these third parties fail to meet expected deadlines, fail to adhere to our clinical protocols or otherwise perform in a substandard manner, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated. If any of these clinical trial sites terminate for any reason, we may experience the loss of follow-up information on patients enrolled in our ongoing clinical trials unless we are able to transfer the care of those patients to another qualified clinical trial site. In addition, principal investigators for any clinical trials we conduct may serve as scientific advisors or consultants to us from time to time and receive cash or equity compensation in connection with such services. If these relationships and any related compensation result in perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the integrity of the data generated at the applicable clinical trial site may be jeopardized.

 

Regulatory Risks Related to Land Use and Government-Backed Designation

 

The Company received a government grant and land allocation from the Israel Land Authority (ILA) for the development of an innovation and production center originally designated for plant-based wellness solutions, including botanical and cannabis-related applications. The allocation and accompanying benefits were made under the framework of a government-supported initiative to promote industrial and technological activity in southern Israel.

 

Following developments in national priorities and emerging defense-related opportunities, the Company received approval from the Ministry of Economy and other relevant authorities to adapt the purpose of the planned site. The revised focus includes unmanned aerial systems (UAVs), drone technology, and defense-sector innovation, aligned with current strategic national needs.

 

While these approvals support the Company’s evolving operational strategy, there remains regulatory complexity related to land-use compliance, continued eligibility for grants, and the formalization of revised project scopes. Any delays or regulatory constraints in updating land use permissions or fully aligning the revised activities with governmental frameworks could adversely affect the Company’s ability to realize the full benefit of the land, funding, or support programs.

 

The Company is actively working with all relevant government bodies to ensure full compliance and continuity of operations under the new designation.

 

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property

 

If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product offerings, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection we obtain is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products may be impaired.

 

Our ability to compete successfully will depend in part on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our products, preserve our trade secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents on our products and other technologies in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, and the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, or license all necessary or desirable patents or patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner, or in all jurisdictions, or at all, or may choose not to do any of the foregoing.

 

Moreover, while we have applied for a patent that protect aspects of our products in the United States but our products are not covered by any patent protection, and we cannot assure you that our intellectual property position, will not be challenged or that all patents for which we have applied will be issued on a timely basis or at all, or that such patents will protect our technology, in whole or in part, or be issued in a form that will provide us with meaningful protection, prevent competitors from competing with us, or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. Although patents are presumed valid and enforceable upon issuance, a patent may be challenged as to its inventorship, scope, validity, or enforceability.

 

Patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the invention claimed in our pending patent application, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability, and commercial value of our patent rights are uncertain. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing, and regulatory review of new products, patents protecting such products might expire before or shortly after such products are commercialized. As a result, any patent portfolio we develop may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

 

23

 

 

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

There is often litigation between competing companies relying on their respective technologies based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Our future success depends, in part, on not infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology. Any such claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering some portion of our products, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or channel partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses or modify our products, which could further exhaust our resources. Patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against us, whether successful or not, could harm our brand, business, results of operations and financial condition. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and any judgment or injunctive relief entered against us or any adverse settlement could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, litigation can involve significant management time and attention and be expensive, regardless of the outcome. During the course of litigation, there may be announcements of the results of hearings and motions and other interim developments related to the litigation. If securities analysts or investors regard these announcements as negative, the trading price of our common stock may decline.

 

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

 

If we attempt enforcement of our patents or other intellectual property rights, we may be subject or party to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation. These claims and any resulting lawsuits, if resolved adversely to us, could subject us to significant liability for damages, impose temporary or permanent injunctions against our solutions or business operations, or invalidate or render unenforceable our intellectual property

 

Intellectual property disputes and litigation, regardless of merit, can be costly and disruptive to our business operations by diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel, and by increasing our costs of doing business. Such litigation, regardless of its success, could seriously harm our reputation with our channel partners, business partners and patients and in the industry at large. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent or intellectual property litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our operating results.

 

Risks Relating to Our Israel Operations

 

The Company’s entire executive leadership, strategic management, and core operations are based in Israel, operating through its wholly owned subsidiary CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and its majority-owned subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel Ltd.

 

On October 7, 2023, a large-scale war broke out in Israel, resulting in a sustained period of national crisis. The war caused widespread uncertainty and instability in the country, disrupted the Israeli economy, and affected the Company’s operations, During 2024, the Company continues to experience significant disruptions as a result of this ongoing conflict. The Company has focused on carefully monitoring the situation, reviewing its financial position, and evaluating the status of its assets and holdings in light of the challenging environment.

 

Management is actively assessing the potential impacts of the war on the Company’s operations, investments, and liquidity. This includes analyzing risks to ongoing activities, ensuring the stability of existing assets, and preparing for different scenarios that may arise depending on the duration and intensity of the conflict.

 

The ongoing war in Israel, which began in October 2023, has created a complex and volatile geopolitical and security environment. This conflict involving sustained hostilities in multiple regions, including the southern and northern borders poses several risks to the Company’s current and planned operations in Israel, including:

 

● Operational Disruption: Armed conflict and heightened security measures may disrupt infrastructure, workforce availability, and supply chains, particularly in areas where the Company’s facilities or partners operate.

 

● Construction and Project Delays: The Company is in the process of establishing an advanced manufacturing and innovation center in southern Israel. Ongoing hostilities and regional instability may result in delays in construction timelines, regulatory approvals, and deployment of key resources.

 

● Regulatory and Governmental Prioritization: While the Israeli government has expressed support for the Company’s activities as part of its national UAV strategy, shifting governmental focus toward immediate defense needs may impact funding cycles, regulatory responsiveness, or public infrastructure availability.

 

● Insurance, Costs, and Logistics: Heightened risk may result in increased insurance premiums, higher costs for security and logistics, and limited access to certain suppliers or service providers operating in affected regions.

 

● Physical Security and Force Majeure: Prolonged conflict increases the risk of damage to physical assets or interruptions to normal operations due to force majeure events, including missile attacks or military activity in proximity to the Company’s facilities.

Despite these risks, the Company maintains contingency plans, maintains close coordination with governmental authorities, and is strategically aligned with national defense priorities factors which are expected to mitigate long-term adverse effects.

Risks Related Ownership of Our Securities

 

A certain group of the Company’s stockholders may exert significant influence over its affairs, including the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.

 

Currently, a certain group of stockholders, including our Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, Ora Elharar Soffer (directly and through Beezhome Technologies Ltd and Citrine S A L Investment & Holdings Ltd) and others, collectively own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, such individuals will have the ability, acting together, to control the election of the Company’s directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, and (iii) amendments to its certificate of incorporation. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to the Company’s other stockholders and be disadvantageous to the Company’s stockholders with interests different from those individuals. Certain of these individuals also have significant control over the Company’s business, policies and affairs as officers or directors of the Company. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over the Company.

 

As of the date of this filing, our executive officers and directors own, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 35.3% of our outstanding common stock as of the date of this filing. As a result, these persons, acting together, would be able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other significant corporate transactions.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of a maximum 1,500,000 shares of common stock. Any additional financings effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and the substantial dilution in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. In addition, we have reserved 180,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The issuance of such additional shares of common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, may cause the price of our common stock to decline. Additionally, if all or a substantial portion of these shares are resold into the public markets then the trading price of our common stock may decline.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

We currently do not have and may never obtain research coverage by securities analysts. If no securities analysts commence coverage of our company, or if industry analysts cease coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock could be materially and adversely impacted. In the event we obtain securities analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may be materially and adversely impacted. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

 

If the price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, your investment could lose value.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC under the symbol “CTGL,” and, to date, has traded on a limited basis. We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “CTGL.” We cannot assure you that an active public market will continue for our common stock. If an active public market for our common stock does not continue, the trading price and liquidity of our common stock will be materially and adversely affected. If there is a thin trading market or “float” for our stock, the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a large float, our common stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment in us. Furthermore, the stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate widely in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

 

25

 

 

  our quarterly or annual operating results;
     
  changes in our earnings estimates or the failure to accurately forecast and appropriately plan our expenses;
     
  failure to achieve our growth expectations;
     
  failure to attract new customers or retain existing customers;

 

  the effect of increased or variable competition on our business;
     
  additions or departures of key or qualified personnel;
     
  failure to adequately protect our intellectual property;
     
  costs associated with defending claims, including intellectual property infringement claims and related judgments or settlements;
     
  changes in governmental or other regulations affecting our business;
     
  our compliance with governmental or other regulations affecting our business; and
     
  changes in global or regional industry, general market, or economic conditions.

 

The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes may not be possible to predict and often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price.

 

Delaware law contains provisions that could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of the Company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of its common stock.

 

Provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition involving the Company that its stockholders may consider favorable. For example, the Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” the Company may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company. An “interested stockholder” is, generally, a stockholder who owns 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of the Company who has owned 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions as described in the DGCL.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock nor are we under any obligation to declare or pay such cash dividends. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund our operations and the development and growth of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our future ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock may be limited by any future debt instruments or preferred securities. As a result, investors may only receive a return on their investment in our common stock if the market price of our common stock increases to a price above the price paid for them and then sell such shares.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

None.

 

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

 

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

 

We have processes in place for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our risk management activities are overseen by senior management and are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management framework. As part of this process, management identifies and assesses internal and external cybersecurity risks and the potential impact of such risks on our business.

 

We utilize external information technology consultants to provide technical support for our systems and to advise on security matters. Risks associated with third-party service providers who have access to our data are evaluated during the vendor selection process.

 

26

 

 

To date, we have not experienced any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, we face a variety of cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect our company in the future, which are further described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

 

Cybersecurity Governance

 

1. Board of Directors’ Oversight

 

Our Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. As the Company does not have a separately constituted audit committee, the entire Board of Directors fulfills this function. The Board receives reports from management on an as-needed basis regarding information technology and security matters, allowing it to monitor the Company’s risk management processes.

 

2. Management’s Role

 

Our senior management is responsible for the day-to-day assessment and management of our cybersecurity risks. This function is led by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who have overall responsibility for the Company’s risk management.

 

While our executive officers are not cybersecurity experts, they have extensive experience in business management and corporate governance. For specific technical expertise, management leverages and consults with our external information technology consultants to advise on threat identification, prevention, and other cybersecurity matters. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, management would be responsible for implementing response procedures and reporting the matter to the Board of Directors.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

A description of the premises we utilize in several of our facilities is as follows:

 

Entity   Property Description
     
Citrine Global, Corp   Our principal office consists of leased premises and is located at 5 Rashi St. Yerucham, 8050743 Israel

On September 15, 2024, Mr. Ilan Ben Ishay resigned from his position as a director on the Board of subsidiary CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd. On October 1, 2024, Mr. Ilan Ben Ishay resigned from his position as a director on the Board of subsidiary Cannovation Center Israel Ltd.

 

On November 2024, the Company’s subsidiary, Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (“Cannovation”), filed a debt claim in the insolvency proceedings of Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. (“Golden Holdings”). At the relevant time, Golden Holdings held approximately 20% of Cannovation’s shares.

 

Pursuant to agreements between the parties and as a shareholder, Golden Holdings had committed to support Cannovation, including by signing guarantees on behalf of the company and its controlling shareholder, Mr. Ilan Ben Ishay, and by providing financial assistance. Upon Golden Holdings entering insolvency proceedings, such support ceased.

 

Accordingly, Cannovation filed an official debt claim with the trustee of Golden Holdings in the amount of NIS 1,512,983 (approximately USD 420,000), for amounts it claims are due to it under prior agreements and commitments. The claim was submitted as part of the proceedings before the Haifa District Court and is currently under review by the relevant authorities.

 

During a meeting of Cannovation’s board of directors, it was explained that additional shareholder support was required, including signing guarantees for a loan from S.R. Accord as well as a guaranteed letter for a deposit related to a government grant received by Cannovation for the SkyTech project, in addition to other company commitments. The board resolved to request that all Cannovation shareholders support the company, including by signing corporate and personal guarantees.

 

To that end, a mechanism was established whereby shareholders who provided such support, including signing personal guarantees, would be entitled to receive additional share allocations, whereas shareholders who did not provide such support would not receive any new share allocations.

 

In January 2025, during a shareholders’ meeting, Cannovation addressed all shareholders, including Golden Holdings, requesting such support and the signing of personal guarantees. As Golden Holdings did not provide such commitments, new shares were allocated to the existing shareholders CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd., a subsidiary of Citrine Global Corp., and Beezhome Technologies Ltd., resulting in Golden Holdings’ ownership in Cannovation being reduced to approximately 1%.

One such equity grant will approve by company, granting options to purchase 41,762,976 common shares, with a two-year vesting schedule and 50% acceleration upon uplisting. As of this report, the options have not been issued yet.

 

As of September 2024, the Company renewed its short term loan with S.R. Accord Ltd. in the amount of approximately NIS 660,000 (approximately $176,000).

In addition, the Company, its Israeli subsidiary CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd., and Beezhome Technologies Ltd., a private company wholly owned by Ms. Ora Elharar Soffer, signed the agreement. While Netto Holdings Ltd. and Mr. Ilan Ben Ishay had originally undertaken to provide personal guarantees, they had not executed such guarantees as of that date. All collateral under the Credit Facility remained in place, including a first-priority lien over the Company’s rights and the 125,000 sq. ft. (11,687 sq. meters) industrial parcel in Yerucham, Israel, as well as additional collateral intended to secure repayment of the loan and to cover any damage, debt, or obligation arising from the Credit Facility. The Company, together with CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (now SkyTech Orion Ltd.), undertook to fully indemnify both Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Lior Asher for any liability, damage, or loss that may result from their personal guarantees. On March 31, 2025, the total amount of the short term loan was increased to NIS 1,000,000 (approximately $280,000), with all guarantees and collateral remaining in place.

Components of Operating Results

 

The following discussion summarizes the key factors our management believes are necessary for an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenues

 

We have not generated any revenues from product sales as of December 31, 2024.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

The process of researching and developing our products is lengthy, unpredictable, and subject to many risks. We expect to continue incurring expenses for the next several years for research and development as we continue to develop products and innovative solutions. We are unable, with any certainty, to estimate either the costs or the timelines in which those expenses will be incurred. Our current development plans focus on the development of plant-based solutions.

 

Our research and development costs include costs are composed of:

 

● internal recurring costs, such as personnel-related and consultants costs (salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation and other costs), materials and supplies, facilities and maintenance costs attributable to research and development functions; and

 

● fees paid to external parties who provide us with contract services, such as preclinical testing, manufacturing and related testing and activities.

 

31

 

 

Marketing

 

Marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation, and other personnel-related costs associated with executive and other support staff. Other significant marketing expenses include the costs associated with professional fees to develop our marketing strategy.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation, and other personnel-related costs associated with executive, administrative and other support staff. Other significant general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with professional fees for accounting, auditing, insurance costs, consulting and legal services, along with facility and maintenance costs attributable to general and administrative functions.

 

Financial Expenses

 

Financial expenses consist primarily impact of exchange rate derived from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies. Other financial expenses include bank’s fees and interest on long term loans.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023

 

The following table presents our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

 

   Year Ended 
   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
   U.S. Dollars in thousand 
Research and development expenses        (96)
Marketing, general and administrative expenses – related parties   

(835

)   (1,255)
Marketing, general and administrative expenses   (403)   (947)
Operating loss   (1,238)   (2,298)
Expenses related to convertible loan terms   (247)   (451)
Expenses related to IBOT and MY PLANT options   (747)   (291)
Other financing expenses, net   (66)   (65)
           
Net loss   (2,298)   (3,105)

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any revenue.

 

The Company’s research and development expenses increased to $0 during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $96,000 during the prior year. The decrease is mainly attributable to professional expenses related to the development of our Botanical product line.

 

The Company’s marketing, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024, were $1,238,000 compared to $2,202,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in our marketing, general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to the decrease in our non-cash share-based compensation expenses.

 

32

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred financial expenses, net of $313,000, as compared to financial expenses of $516,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The reason for the decrease in financial expense is attributable to changes in terms of our convertible loans.

 

As a result of the above, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2,298,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to a net loss of approximately $3,105,000 in 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2024, we had current assets of $140,000 compared to total current assets of $258,000 as of December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, we had current liabilities of $3,604,000 as compared to $2,719,000 as of December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, we had total liabilities of $4,315,000 as compared to $4,961,000 as of December 31, 2023. The increase is mainly attributed to the increase in the balance of accrued expenses and the decrese in the balance of convertible component in convertible notes. 

 

At December 31, 2024, we had a cash balance of $1,000 compared to the cash balance of $7,000 as of December 31, 2023.

 

At December 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficiency of $3,464,000 as compared with a working capital deficiency of $2,461,000 at December 31, 2023.

 

The following table provides a summary of operating, investing, and financing cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively (in thousand):

 

    Year Ended  
    December 31, 2024     December 31, 2023

In addition, the Company, its Israeli subsidiary CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd., and Beezhome Technologies Ltd., a private company wholly owned by Ms. Ora Elharar Soffer, signed the agreement. While Netto Holdings Ltd. and Mr. Ilan Ben Ishay had originally undertaken to provide personal guarantees, they had not executed such guarantees as of that date. All collateral under the Credit Facility remained in place, including a first-priority lien over the Company’s rights and the 125,000 sq. ft. (11,687 sq. meters) industrial parcel in Yerucham, Israel, as well as additional collateral intended to secure repayment of the loan and to cover any damage, debt, or obligation arising from the Credit Facility. The Company, together with CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (now SkyTech Orion Ltd.), undertook to fully indemnify both Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Lior Asher for any liability, damage, or loss that may result from their personal guarantees. On March 31, 2025, the total amount of the short term loan was increased to NIS 1,000,000 (approximately $280,000), with all guarantees and collateral remaining in place.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in the notes to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which are included within Item 8 in this annual report.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and which included within Item 8 in this annual report. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical to our financial statements because they require the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.

 

Share-Based Compensation: We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock option grants to employees, directors, and consultants based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make significant assumptions regarding volatility, the expected life of the option, and the risk-free interest rate. These assumptions are based on historical data and management’s judgment, and changes to these assumptions could have a material impact on the amount of share-based compensation expense recorded.

 

Investments Valued Under the Measurement Alternative: Our long-term investments in privately held companies, such as Nanomedic Technologies Ltd., MyPlant Bio Ltd., and iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd., are carried at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for observable price changes. Due to the absence of a readily determinable fair value for these investments, we periodically perform a qualitative assessment to identify any impairment. This assessment requires significant management judgment regarding the financial health and business prospects of these companies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Citrine Global Corp

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citrine Global Corp and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters 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: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 

Citrine Global, Corp. (“Citrine Global” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 26, 2010. The Company’s common stock is traded in the United States on the OTCQB market under the ticker symbol “CTGL.”

 

On June 3, 2020 the Company established a wholly owned new Israeli subsidiary: CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd, (the “Israeli Subsidiary”).

 

On August 20, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary, Beezhome Technologies Ltd., a company owned and controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., a company in which Ilan Ben-Ishai, a former director of the Company, holds shares, incorporated Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (“Cannovation”). Israeli Subsidiary holds 60% of Cannovation’s shares, while each of Beezhome Technologies Ltd. and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. holds 20% of its shares.

 

Financial support

 

On March 6, 2023 Cannovation and S.R. Accord Ltd., an Israeli company (“Lender”), entered into an 18-month credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to which Lender has committed to fund Cannovation in an aggregate amount of NIS 3,000,000 (approximately $857,000), as needed. At the time of each draw down, Cannovation and Lender will determine the maturity date of the loan. All amounts drawn under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a monthly rate of 1.7%. Cannovation has the right to pre-pay the entire amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at any time. As security for any loans under the Credit Facility, Cannovation granted the Lender a first priority lien on its rights to the 125,000 sq ft (11,687 sq meters) of industrial land in Yerucham (see note 4(1) below). The lien will become effective only if Cannovation utilizes the Credit Facility. If the market value of the Premises is less than the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility, then Lender will be entitled to additional security including additional shares of Citrine Global common stock, on such terms and conditions as the parties may agree. As additional security for any payments due to Lender, (i) Israeli Subsidiary, (ii) Beezhome and (iii) Netto Holdings, an unaffiliated entity under the partial control of Ilan Ben Ishay, a director on the board of Cannovation, as well as each of Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Ben Ishay in their personal capacities, have provided guarantees for the repayment of any amounts that may be owing to Lender under the Credit Facility. Cannovation has agreed to indemnify Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Ben Ishay for any losses they incur as a result of the guarantee.

 

On March 7, 2023, the Company issued to the Lender 2,154,677 shares of the Company’s common stock a commitment fee in respect of the provision of the Credit Facility.

 

As of the date of this report, Cannovation utilized NIS1,000,000 ( $280,000) of the credit line.

 

On August 2025, SR Accord extended the credit facility agreement with Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (renamed SkyTech Orion Ltd.) until March 31, 2027. The facility is supported by guarantees of CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and Citrine Global Corp., as well as personal guarantees signed by Ora Elharar-Soffer, the Company’s CEO, and Lior Asher, a director of SkyTech Orion Ltd. With respect to the personal guarantees of Ora Elharar-Soffer and Lior Asher, the companies Cannovation Center Israel Ltd.(renamed SkyTech Orion Ltd ) CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd., and Citrine Global Corp. have confirmed, in line with prior Board resolutions, their undertaking to provide indemnification and comprehensive protections to the guarantors. See also Note 5 and 12D below.

 

The Company has no significant firm commitments that require it to remit cash and can control the level of expenses it incurs. Based on the Company’s current cash balances, and the access to the Credit Facility noted above, the Company believes it will have sufficient funds for its plans for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. As the Company is embarking on its business plan, it is incurring losses. It cannot determine with reasonable certainty when and if it will have sustainable profits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citrine Global and its Israeli Subsidiaries, CTGL - Citrine Global Israel Ltd and Cannovation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 periods. Significant estimates include share-based compensation.

 

Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions.

 

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar.

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the year.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

 

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments which include short term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit), that are not restricted as to withdrawals or use that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less as of the date acquired.

 

Property, plant and equipment, net

 

1.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. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

 

Warrants on the Company’s shares

 

When the Company becomes a party to freestanding convertible instruments, the Company first analyzes the provisions of ASC 480 in order to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in each period. Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares are not within the scope of ASC 480, and as such the Company further analyzes the provisions of ASC 815-40 in order to determine whether the contract should be classified within equity or classified as a liability, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in each period.

 

Under ASC 815-40, contracts that are not indexed to the Company’s own stock are classified as liabilities recorded at fair value, The Company applies similar guidance to embedded conversion options that meet the definition of a derivative per ASC 815.

 

The Company reassesses the classification of a contract over its own equity under the guidance above at each balance sheet date. If classification changes as a result of events during the reporting period, the Company reclassifies the contract as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. When a contract over own equity is reclassified from a liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that the contract was classified as a liability are not reversed, and the contract is marked to fair value immediately before the reclassification.

 

Investments valued under the measurement alternative

 

The Company’s investments as described in Note 3 include equity securities in other companies for which the Company does not have significant influence or control and fair value is not readily determinable. Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 requires equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

 

Due to the lack of readily determinable fair values for such investments, the Company accounts for these investments under the measurement alternative at cost, less impairment.

 

The Company periodically performs qualitative impairment assessments on its investments recorded under the measurement alternative.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Group’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets 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 asset. 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 asset exceeds its fair value. No indicators of impairment have been identified as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Derivatives

 

Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized as a component of financial expenses, net in the statements of operation.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities and assets are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Accordingly, deferred taxes assets and liabilities are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax law. Deferred tax balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets are provided for, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax in accordance with ASC Topic 740, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of tax positions. According to ASC Topic 740, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Recognized tax positions are measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties relating to income taxes under income taxes, however the Company did not recognize such items in its fiscal 2024 and 2023 financial statements and did not record any unrecognized tax benefits. 

 

Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share

 

Basic loss per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to holders of shares of Common Stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.

 

In computing diluted loss per share, basic loss per share is adjusted to reflect the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of potential shares. Accordingly, in periods of net loss, no potential shares are considered due to their anti-dilutive effect on loss per share.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for all equity-based payments 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 operation 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, applying the accelerated vesting method, over the requisite service period or over the implicit service period. The company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures when they occur.

 

Fair value

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value, as defined by ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

 

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: (i) the market approach; (ii) the income approach; and (iii) the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

 

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), (ii) segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and (iii) a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of operations.

 

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:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents as well as certain other current assets that do not amount to a significant amount. Cash and cash equivalents, which are primarily held in Dollars and New Israeli Shekels, are deposited with major banks in Israel and United States. Management believes that such financial institutions are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments. The Company does not have any significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

 

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.

 

Loan Issuance costs

 

As mentioned in Note 5, the Company has received a credit line from a lender. The Company has issued to the lender and a consultant shares of the Company’s common stock as a commitment fee in respect of the provision of the Credit Facility. The commitment fee is recognized as a prepaid expense. Upon each utilization of the credit line, the Company recognizes a proportionate part of the commitment fee and records that part as financial expenses.

 

RECENT ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARD 

 

Segment Reporting: In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures requires incremental disclosures related to an entity’s reportable segments, including (i) significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment that are provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), (ii) an aggregate amount and description of other segment items included in each reported measure, (iii) all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets required by Topic 280 to be disclosed in interim periods, (iv) the title and position of the individual or the name of the group identified as the CODM and (v) an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources to the segment. The standard improves transparency by providing disaggregated expense information about an entity’s reportable segments. The standard does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU and it did not have a material impact on its financial statement.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 (“ASU 2022-03”), ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASC 820”). ASU 2022-03 amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. ASU 2022-03 applies to both holders and issuers of equity and Equity-Linked Securities measured at fair value. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the ASU and it did not have a material impact on its financial statement.

 

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

Income Taxes: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU add specific requirements for income tax disclosures to improve transparency and decision usefulness. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 requires that public business entities disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional qualitative information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2023-09 require that all entities disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The ASU also includes other disclosure amendments related to the disaggregation of income tax expense between federal, state and foreign taxes. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expense and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development). Amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disclosed will be described qualitatively. Certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under currently effective U.S GAAP will be included in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendments also require disclosing the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT VALUED UNDER THE MEASUREMENT ALTERNATIVE (cont.)

 

A.On June 22, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Nanomedic Technologies Ltd., an Israeli private company and a related party as further described below (“Nanomedic”) as part of an A-1 funding round open only to existing Nanomedic shareholders and their affiliates. Nanomedic developed SpinCare™, a system that integrates electrospinning technology into a portable, bedside device, offering immediate wound and burn care treatment. The Company paid $450 thousand for A-1 preferred shares of Nanomedic and also received warrants to purchase A-1 preferred shares. Such investment represents a holding of approximately 3.3% in Nanomedic. The round raised approximately $2.2 million in total. 
   
  The Company accounts for the investment in Nanomedic in accordance with the provisions of ASC 321, “Investments - Equity Securities”, and elected to use the measurement alternative therein. The investment will be re-measured upon future observable price change(s) in orderly transaction(s) or upon impairment, if any. No such observable price changes have occurred during 2024 and 2023. See note 13I below.

 

  B. On December 30, 2022, the Company, MyPlant Bio Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Israel (“MyPlant”), Cannasoul Analytics Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Israel (“Cannasoul”), and PurPlant Inc., a company duly incorporated under the laws of Canada (“PurPlant”) (Cannasoul and PurPlant are collectively referred to as the “Shareholders”), and Professor Dedi Meiri, an Israeli individual (“Prof Meiri”) entered into the Share Purchase and Option Agreement (the “Share Purchase and Option Agreement”) for the purchase by the Company of up to 55% of MyPlant’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis
     
    The Company purchased from the Shareholders an aggregate of 15,211 ordinary shares of MyPlant (the “MyPlant Shares”) representing, on a fully diluted basis, 10% of the outstanding MyPlant Shares, in consideration for the payment of $444,444 by the issuance by the Company to the selling Shareholders of an aggregate of 9,259,250 shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 12, 2023 the company issued the shares above.
     
    Said options are exercisable through September 30, 2023 (the “Option Expiry Date”). If both the shareholders Option and the Company Options are exercised, the Company will hold 55% of MyPlant Shares, on a fully diluted basis. Under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company is authorized to continue its due diligence through the Option Expiry Date. The number of shares is subject to adjustment in respect of any stock split or other recapitalization of the Company.
     
    In addition, under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company was granted an option by the MyPlant shareholders to purchase an additional 35% of MyPlant Shares, on a fully diluted basis (the “Shareholders Option”), in consideration of $1,555,556 payable by the issuance of up to 32,407,417 shares of the Company’s common stock to the MyPlant shareholders, and a separate option by MyPlant to purchase an additional 10% of the MyPlant Shares, on a fully diluted basis (the “MyPlant Option”), in consideration of $444,444, which is payable, in the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or in the issuance to MyPlant of up to 9,259,250 shares of our common stock.
     
    The transactions under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement are based on a MyPlant company valuation of approximately $4.45 million. The Company is authorized at any time on or before the Option Expiry Date to obtain an independent third-party valuation of MyPlant. If it is determined by such third party valuation that MyPlant’s valuation is less than $4.45 million, the consideration payable in respect of the exercise price of the options will be accordingly adjusted, provided however that in any case MyPlant’s valuation in the transaction shall not be below US$1,000,000.
     
    On September 28, 2023, the Company and MyPlant entered into an amendment of the Share Purchase and Option Agreement to extend to December 31, 2023 the Option Expiry Date available to the Company to purchase an additional 45% of MyPlant’s share equity, on a fully diluted basis. All other terms and conditions of the Share Purchase and Option Agreement remain in full force and effect. As of December 31, 2023, the shareholders’ option expired, resulting in a $291 thousand reduction in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.
     
    The options to purchase MyPlant shares were also accounted using the measurement alternative. Since the options’ value are subject to the changes in Citrine shares’ value, there are indicators to a change in the options’ value at each reporting date, and therefore the following valuation method was implemented.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS VALUED UNDER THE MEASUREMENT ALTERNATIVE (cont.)

 

  C. On November 2, 2023, the Board of Directors the Company determined to seek an agreement with iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd. (“iBOT”) pursuant to which the Company, would purchase, on an initial basis, a 19% equity stake in iBOT with an option to increase the Company’s equity holdings to 51% (the “Shareholders option”), on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company and iBOT. It was determined that the offered purchase price would be based on the discounted pre-company valuation of iBOT prepared by an independent third-party valuator commissioned by the Company of $10,000,000. It was also determined by the Board that consideration for the initial 19% equity stake would be by way of a share exchange with iBOT and the balance of the consideration would be by way of combination of shares and cash as agreed to by the Company and iBOT. It was also agreed that all Company share issuance to iBOT would be calculated a per share price of $0.027, representing then the highest closing price of the Company’s common stock during the preceding 30 day period
     
   

In March 2024, the Company issued 70,370,370 shares to IBOT.

     
    As of June 30, 2024 the option has lapsed.
     
    The options to purchase IBOT’s shares were also accounted using the measurement alternative. Since the options’ value are subject to the changes in Citrine shares’ value, there are indicators to a change in the options’ value at each reporting date, and therefore the following valuation method was implemented.

  

For the purpose of purchase price allocation, the Company estimated the fair value of Shareholders Option using the Monte Carlo option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   December 31, 2023 
Dividend yield   0%
Risk-free interest rate   5.26%
Expected term (years)   0.5 
IBOT share price (U.S. dollars)   0.434 
IBOT volatility   52.21%

 

The fair value of the Shareholders Option as of December 31, 2023 was estimated at 747 thousands.

 

Based on the above, the fair value proportion allocation as of December 31, 2023 was as follows:

 

   December 31, 2023  
Shareholders option  $747  
IBOT’s shares   660  
   $1,407  

 

As of June 30, 2024, the shareholders’ option expired, resulting in a $747 thousand reduction in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.

On July 13, 2021, the Ministry of Economy of the Israeli government recommended to the Israel Land Authority (“ILA”) that it approve a grant of 11,687 square meters of industrial parcel of land in Yerucham, Israel (the “Land”) for Cannovation to build the Cannovation Center, at a subsidized price and exempt from a tender procedures typically required under Israeli law, to include factories, laboratories, logistics and a distribution center for the medical cannabis, and botanicals industries. As noted, Citrine Global owns 60% of the share capital of Cannovation, through the Israeli Subsidiary. Cannovation is in process of receiving the required building permits and approvals to start the construction and is in process with several financing entities in the area of real-estate financing.

 

During December 2021, Cannovation remitted to the Israeli Ministry of the Economy and the ILA the aggregate amount of NIS 688 thousand ($196 thousands on the date of payment) to obtain the rights to the Land. The discounted amount paid is part of the grant by the Israeli government under government programs to encourage industrial development in Southern Israel. The amount remitted represents the sum total amount that Cannovation is required to pay as the purchase price for the Land.

 

Under the Agreement, Cannovation committed to build and develop the Green Vision Center in accordance with the time frames, terms and conditions of the Agreement. Typically, the initial time frame for completing the development is four (4) years, subject to extensions that the ILA may approve. Upon completion of the development within the time frames and other requirements specified in the Agreement, Cannovation will be entitled, subject to Israeli law, to long term lease agreement (49 years) to the Land (equivalent to ownership rights as most of the land in Israel is government owned and when marketed usually the developers are granted with development/long lease rights).

 

The Company has also capitalized $24 thousands of related expenses as land costs.

 

On February 8, 2022, Cannovation received from the ILA a counter-signed development agreement to purchase rights for long term lease to 11,687 square meters of Land for purposes of building the Green Vision Center Israel, which is intended to include factories, laboratories, logistics and a distribution center for the medical cannabis, and botanicals industries.

NOTE 5 – SHORT TERM LOANS

 

A. On March 6, 2023 Cannovation and S.R. Accord Ltd., an Israeli company (“Lender”), entered into an 18-month credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to which Lender has committed to fund Cannovation in an aggregate amount of NIS 3,000,000 (approximately $857,000), as needed. At the time of each draw down, Cannovation and Lender will determine the maturity date of the loan. All amounts drawn under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a monthly rate of 1.7%. Cannovation has the right to pre-pay the entire amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at any time. As security for any loans under the Credit Facility, Cannovation granted the Lender a first priority lien on its rights to the 125,000 sq ft (11,687 sq meters) of industrial land in Yerucham (“the Premises”). The lien will become effective only if Cannovation utilizes the Credit Facility. If the market value of the Premises is less than the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility, then Lender will be entitled to additional security including additional shares of Citrine Global common stock, on such terms and conditions as the parties may agree. As additional security for any payments due to Lender, (i) the Israeli Subsidiary, (ii) Beezhome and (iii) Netto Holdings, an unaffiliated entity under the partial control of Ilan Ben Ishay, a director on the board of Cannovation, as well as each of Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Ben Ishay have, in their personal capacities, provided guarantees for the repayment of any amounts that may be owing to Lender under the Credit Facility. The Company, CTGL – Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and Cannovation have agreed to indemnify Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Ben Ishay for any losses they incur as a result of the personal guarantees.

   
  On March 7, 2023, the Company issued to the Lender and a consultant 3,232,016 shares of the Company’s common stock as a commitment fee in respect of the provision of the Credit Facility (valuated at $123 thousand). As of December 2023 and 2024, Cannovation utilized NIS660,000 ( $182,000) of the credit line.

 

See also Note 12A below and Note 1 above.

 

B.On February 9, 2024, the Company issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in favor of 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Lender”), in the principal amount of $63,250.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

  A. On January 30, 2023 Citrine S A L Hi Tech 7 LP agreed to change the terms of this loan, which amounted to $83,000 (including accrued interest) such that such terms shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis, to those terms applicable to the Company’s convertible notes then outstanding under the Convertible Note Agreement.
     
   

As provided for under the terms of the Convertible Note Agreement, Citrine 7 will be issued 6,666,667 warrants for shares of common stock, where the Series A and B warrants are exercisable through August 9, 2027 at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.

 

The Company concluded that the change in term does not constitute a troubled debt restructuring. Thereafter, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments. The accounting treatment is determined by whether terms of the new debt and original debt are substantially different.

 

The following are the data and assumptions used:

 

Warrants A   
Dividend yield (%)   0%
Risk-free interest rate (%)   3.75%
Expected term (years)   4.36 
Volatility   160.5%
Share price (U.S. dollars)   0.044 
Exercise price (U.S. dollars)   0.05 
Fair value of the conversion feature (U.S. dollars in thousands)   134 

 

Warrants B   
Dividend yield (%)   0%
Risk-free interest rate (%)   3.75%
Expected term (years)   4.36 
Volatility   160.5%
Share price (U.S. dollars)   0.044 
Exercise price (U.S. dollars)   0.05 
Fair value of the conversion feature (U.S. dollars in thousands)   134 

 

Since the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt was derecognized and the new debt was recorded at fair value, with the difference recognized as an extinguishment loss.

 

The extinguishment resulted in a loss of $266 thousands, included in the statements of operations as “Expenses related to convertible loan terms”.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES (cont’d)

 

The components of the new loan were valuated as follows:

 

Conversion feature

 

In accordance with ASC 815-15-25 the conversion feature was considered a liability classified embedded derivative instrument, and is to be recorded at its fair value separately from the convertible notes, within non-current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The conversion component is then remeasured at fair value at 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 convertible notes amount conversion (20% probability for scenario 1 and 80% probability for scenario 2):

 

The scenario in which the convertible loan would be converted prior to its maturity (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:

 

   January 30, 2023
Dividend yield (%)   0%
Risk-free interest rate (%)   4.56%
Expected term (years)   1.33 
Volatility   123.5%
Share price (U.S. dollars)   0.044 
Exercise price (U.S. dollars)   0.05 

 

The scenario in which the Company would raise at least $5 million prior to conversion of the convertible loan (scenario 2) was estimated by the appraiser at no fair value since it was estimated that along with such raise the convertible loans would be converted at market price.

 

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 issuance dates was $8 thousands.

 

Warrants

 

The fair value of the warrants as of January 30, 2023 was estimated at $268 thousands using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is presented within the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity (deficit).

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES (cont.)

 

B.On January 30, 2023 the Company and each of Citrine High Tech 7 LP (“LP 7”), Citrine 8 LP (“LP 8 “) and Citrine 9 LP (“LP 9”; together with LP 7 and LP 8, the “Lending LP”), the lending entities under and parties to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and several related parties in April 2020, as subsequently amended (the “CL Agreement”), have entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which they have agreed to extend the maturity date on all outstanding convertible loans in the principal amount of $1,800,000 under the CL Agreement to May 31, 2024.

 

In addition, under the Agreement the Company and the Lending LPs have also agreed that if the Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine to convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding amount of the above mentioned notes to shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the price paid by the public investors for the common stock in the offering accompanying the listing.

 

The Company concluded that the above mentioned change in terms constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, due to its financial condition and the concession that the above mentioned changes provided.

 

Therefore, the Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as a modification. A new effective interest rate was established based on the carrying value of the debt and the revised cash flows.

 

On May 9, 2023, the Company’s Board determined to provide that until the earlier of the satisfaction in full of the convertible loans or the termination of the exercise period of the warrants for an aggregate of 62,178,554 shares previously issued to the Lending LPs (the “Warrants”), if the Company’s common stock were to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the per share public price of the offering accompanying such listing is less than the then current exercise price of the Warrants, then the Warrant exercise price shall be adjusted to that of the public offering price, provided that if such listing and accompanying offering do not occur by September 30, 2023, then the exercise price of the Warrants shall remain at its then current exercise price or may be adjusted to a lower exercise price as determined by Company’s Board and in agreement with the Lending LPs. As the offering has not been achieved by June 26, 2023, the Board decided that the Warrant exercise price shall remain unchanged at $0.05 and also provide that the upon future the implementation of the reverse split, the Warrants per share exercise price would be unaffected by the reverse split and would remain at $0.05 though the number of warrant shares would be subject to the reverse stock split.

 

C.On November 14, 2023, the holders of the convertible loans issued under the Loan Agreement which is comprised of Citrine SAL High Tech 7 LP, Citrine SAL Biotech 8 LP, and Citrine SAL Biotech 9 LP (collectively, the “LPs”) entered into a binding LOI pursuant to which the LPs agreed to extend the maturity date of the convertible loans from May 2024 to December 31, 2024.

 

The Company concluded that the change in terms does not constitute a troubled debt restructuring, as it doesn’t include a concession in the present value of the debt .The Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as a non-substantial modification, with a new effective interest rate established based on the carrying value of the debt and revised cash flows.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES (cont.)

 

D.As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the convertible component was estimated by third party appraiser as weighted average of the two possible scenarios of the total convertible notes amount conversion (20% probability for scenario 1 and 80% probability for scenario 2):

 

The scenario in which the convertible loans would be converted prior to its maturity (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 the balance sheet date:

 

   December 31, 2023 
Dividend yield   0%
Risk-free interest rate   5.26%
Expected term (years)   1 
Volatility   117.2%
Share price (U.S. dollars)   0.02 
Exercise price (U.S. dollars)   0.05 
Fair value of the conversion feature (U.S. dollars in thousands)   198 
Weighted fair value based on scenario probability (U.S. dollars in thousands)   40 

 

The scenario in which the Company would raise at least $5 million prior to conversion of the convertible loan (scenario 2) was estimated by the appraiser at no fair value since it was estimated that along with such raise the convertible loans would be converted at market price.

 

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, 2023 was $40 thousands.

 

D.The Company became a delinquent filer during Q2 2024 due to delays in the required public filings. As a result, trading in the Company’s shares was restricted, and there is currently no active market for the Company’s securities. Due to the lack of an active market, the Company determined that the shares underlying the conversion option in its notes are no longer readily convertible to cash. Therefore, the embedded conversion features no longer meets the definition of a derivative per ASC 815 and were classified as equity.

 

E.On December 31, 2024, the Company completed the conversion of outstanding convertible loan principal amounts totaling $1,764,106 into equity, pursuant to previously executed agreements with Citrine LP 7, Citrine LP 8, and Citrine LP 9. The aggregate principal was converted into 176,010,600 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 176,010,600 shares of common stock under the same terms, exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and exercisable until the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the Company’s listing on a U.S. national stock exchange. Further to Note 6K to the financial statements as of December 31, 2023 , the conversion price was amended to $0.01, in accordance with the terms of the investment in note 13F above


 

Accrued interest on the converted notes remains payable in cash and shall be repaid once the Company raises gross proceeds of at least $5 million. Furthermore, prior to or as part of the Company’s Nasdaq listing process, if any investor purchases shares at a price per share lower than the conversion price, the number of conversion shares and warrants, as well as the warrant exercise price, shall be retroactively adjusted to reflect such lower price. However, this price protection will be waived if required by Nasdaq or any underwriter as a condition to listing or public offering.

  A.

Further to Note 4 above, on January 12, 2025, Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. the Israeli subsidiary received official notification from the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry that it had been awarded a government grant in the amount of NIS 12.5 million (approximately USD 3.4 million).

The grant was awarded as part of a national strategic program supporting the defense sector. The funds are designated for the establishment of the SkyTech Innovation and Production Center in the city of Yerucham, Israel, on land that had previously been allocated to the subsidiary by the State of Israel as part of a prior grant for the construction of an Operational Innovation Center. This new grant is in addition to the prior allocation and supports the construction of approximately 5,000 square meters of facilities on the 11.7 dunam (about 2.89 acres) plot. The Center will include assembly lines, R&D laboratories, testing facilities, and an advanced production system focused on developing and manufacturing defense-grade UAV and drone solutions.

 

The initial grant figure is NIS12.5 million ($3.4). The Company has drawn blueprints and general business outline to meet the specifications required and looks forward to now creating this cutting edge Research Center.

 

B.The Company became a delinquent filer during Q2 2024 due to delays in the required public filings. As a result, trading in the Company’s shares was restricted, and there is currently no active market for the Company’s securities. Due to the lack of an active market, the Company determined that the shares underlying the conversion option in its notes are no longer readily convertible to cash. Therefore, the embedded conversion features no longer meets the definition of a derivative per ASC 815 and were classified as equity.

 

  C. On June 26, 2025, Citrine Global Corp. changed its name to SkyTech Orion Global Corp. in Delaware, reflecting its strategic focus on UAV and drone solutions.

(11,687 sq. meters) industrial parcel in Yerucham, Israel, as well as additional collateral intended to secure repayment of the loan and to cover any damage, debt, or obligation arising from the Credit Facility. The Company, together with CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (now SkyTech Orion Ltd.), undertook to fully indemnify both Ms. Elharar Soffer and Mr. Lior Asher for any liability, damage, or loss that may result from their personal guarantees. On March 31, 2025, the total amount of the short term loan was increased to NIS 1,000,000 (approximately $280,000), with all guarantees and collateral remaining in place.

 

On August 2025, SR Accord extended the credit facility agreement with Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (renamed SkyTech Orion Ltd.) until March 31, 2027. The facility is supported by guarantees of CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd. and Citrine Global Corp., as well as personal guarantees signed by Ora Elharar-Soffer, the Company’s CEO, and Lior Asher, a director of SkyTech Orion Ltd.

(owned by Ms. Ora Elharar Soffer, the Company’s CEO), holding 20%, and Golden Holdings Finance, holding 20%. All shareholders were given the opportunity to support the Company, including by providing personal guarantees for existing loans as well as for obligations under the government grant. CTGL Citrine Global Israel Ltd. expressed its support, and Beezhome Technologies Ltd., through its owner and the Company’s CEO, Ms. Ora Elharar Soffer, personally signed guarantees in connection with the existing loans and the government grant commitments, thereby providing the direct backing required to advance the Company’s activities.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and chairperson of the Board, and the Company’s principal financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based on the Company’s evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer , to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer conducted an assessment, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tredway Commission (“COSO”) (2013). The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, and a conclusion on this evaluation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024 as it identified no control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, such that there is not 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(2) In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column reflect the fair value on the grant date of the option awards granted to the named executive, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The grant-date fair value does not necessarily reflect the value of shares which may be received in the future with respect to these awards. The grant-date fair value of the stock options in this column is a non-cash expense for us that reflects the fair value of the stock options on the grant date and therefore does not affect our cash balance. The fair value of the stock options will likely vary from the actual value the holder receives because the actual value depends on the number of options exercised and the market price of our Common Stock on the date of exercise. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation of the stock options, see Note 7 to the financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

(3) These amounts represent compensation earned by Ms. Elharar Soffer during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 but that by agreement is deferred until such time as the Company shall have consummated an investment of at least $1.8 million in the Company’s securities. See below “Consulting Agreement with Ora Elharar Soffer”.

The information set forth in the table below is based on 1,234,185,009 as shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this filing. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities held by that person that are currently exercisable or will be exercisable within 60 days after the filing date. 

 

We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTORS INDEPENDENCE

 

The following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2024 to which we have been a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of (i) $120,000 or (ii) 1% of the average total assets of the Company at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, or any members of their immediate family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements which are described under “Executive Compensation.”

 

Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and has determined that David Kretzmer is an “independent director” as defined under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. In making this determination, the Board considered all relevant transactions and relationships between each director and the Company.

 

Ora Elharar Soffer, our Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, and Ilanit Halperin, our Chief Financial Officer and Director, are not independent directors by virtue of their executive positions. Doron Birger, who resigned in February 2024,

 

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

 

Our Board of Directors is responsible for the review, approval, and ratification of “related person transactions” between the Company and any related persons. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or a holder of more than 5% of our common stock, or their immediate family members.

 

The Board reviews the material facts of all related person transactions and either approves or disapproves of the entry into the transaction. Our related person transaction policy is not in writing.

 

Credit Facility Guarantees

 

In March 2023, our 60%-owned subsidiary, Cannovation, entered into a credit facility agreement for up to approximately $857,000. As security for the facility, our CEO, Ora Elharar Soffer, and former director Ilan Ben-Ishay provided personal guarantees for the repayment of any amounts drawn. The Company has agreed to indemnify them for any losses incurred as a result of these guarantees.

  

Other Arrangements

 

Our executive officers and directors receive compensation, including through consulting agreements and option awards. These arrangements are described in more detail above under “ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.”

Agreements with Intelicanna

 

Ilanit Halperin, a director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, is also the Chief Financial Officer of Intelicanna. Doron Birger, a director of ours, is the chairman of the board of directors of Intelicanna Ltd. (“Intelicanna”) effective April 2021. In addition, Ora Elharar Soffer, is a shareholder in Intelicanna.

 

On May 31, 2020, we entered into a strategic partnership with Intelicanna via a share exchange agreement and an agreement for future issuance of shares. Furthermore, on June 25, 2020, the Citrine Global Israel has entered into a services agreement with Intelicanna to provide business development and consulting services to Intelicanna, including assistance with raising financing. Also on June 25, 2020, to assist Intelicanna to raise the first NIS 1 million towards the up to NIS 15 million mentioned in the Services Agreement, the Company and the Israeli Subsidiary entered into an agreement to grant Intelicanna NIS 1 million in cash (approximately USD 290 thousand) in direct financing for working capital purposes. On July 9, 2020, we transferred to Intelicanna NIS 500 thousand (approximately $145 thousand) on account of the above loan. In March 2021, Intelicanna repaid the loan with the 12% annual interest. On September 17, 2020 we issued to Intelicanna 2,143,470 shares of common stock in exchange for 619,589 of Intelicanna’s ordinary shares. Between August 3 – 9, 2021, we sold to an unrelated third party in an off market transaction 619,589 ordinary shares of Intelicanna for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of 1,260,611 NIS (approximately $378,562 based on the current exchange rate). Following the sale, the Company no longer holds any Intelicanna shares. As previously disclosed, the Company obtained the Intelicanna shares in a share exchange agreement entered into with Intelicanna in September 2020. The Company’s decision to sell the Intelicanna shares was taken, in part, to avoid being subject to the terms of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, on May 31, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Intelicanna for future issuance of shares. The agreement for future issuance of shares provides that a fall in a share price of a party, not exceeding 20%, measured six months after issuance of shares by both parties pursuant to a separate share exchange agreement, will be offset by the issuance of additional shares to the other party to bring up to $500 thousand the total value of the shares issued to the other party. On August 15, 2021, the Company’s board of directors determined that it is required to issue to Intelicanna 535,867 shares of the Company’s common stock and has authorized the issuance of such shares to Intelicanna.
