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
July 21, 2020, the Israeli Subsidiary began to work with certain Company shareholders, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. (“Beezzhome”),
in which Ora Elharar Soffer, the Company’s chairperson and CEO holds shares, and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., in which Ilan Ben-Ishai,
a former director of the Company, holds shares, have been working towards establishing an Operational Innovation Center focuses on plant
based wellness and pharma products and solutions. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with
preparations for entering into an agreement to incorporate a new company, named Cannovation Center Israel Ltd. (“Cannovation”),
with Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd., and to accept limitations on the Israeli Subsidiary’s rights in
the Cannovation Center if and as mandated under Israeli regulations on the involvement of foreign entities. On August 20, 2020, the Israeli
Subsidiary, Beezz Home Technologies Ltd., and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. incorporated Cannovation. Israeli Subsidiary holds 60% of Cannovation’s
shares, while each of Beezz Home Technologies Ltd. and Golden Holdings Neto Ltd. holds 20% of its shares.
On
August 4, 2020, the Board of the Company approved for the Company and its Israeli Subsidiary to proceed with preparations for investing
in iBOT Israel Botanicals Ltd., (an affiliate) an Israeli nutritional supplements’ company developing and manufacturing botanical
formulas and nutritional supplements for custom & contract manufacturing for leading botanical companies (“iBOT”). The
principal shareholders and control persons of iBOT are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairperson. iBOT has
a manufacturing facility for a wide range of botanical formulations. iBOT’s manufacturing facility is approved by the Israeli Ministry
of Health and is GMP-certified, ISO 9001-certified and HACCP certified by IQC. On August 4, 2020, the Board of Directors approved for
the Company and Citrine Global Israel to proceed with preparations for investing in iBOT. On August 9, 2021, through the 60% owned subsidiary
Cannovation Center Israel, the Company entered into an agreement with iBOT pursuant to which iBOT agreed to manufacture a line of nutritional
supplements for Cannovation Center Israel, including packaging and storage.
In
November 2021, iBOT granted to Citrine Global Group, a pre-emption right to any equity or equity linked securities that iBOT proposes
to issue to an unrelated third party with aggregate gross proceeds to iBot exceeding $1 million or which will result in a change in control
in iBOT following such issuance, then iBOT is to give to the Citrine Global Group written notice of such proposed issuance and the relevant
terms thereof and the Citrine Global Group shall have ten (10) days thereafter to determine if it elects to purchase a minimum of 51%
of the proposed issuance on the price and other terms specified in the notice sent by iBOT (the “Pre-Emption Right”). If
the Citrine Global Group elects to exercise the Pre-Emption Right, such purchase is to take place at no more than 90 days following the
expiration of the 10 day notice period to the Citrine Global Group. Any iBOT securities of the Pre-Emption Right that Citrine Global
Group elects to not purchase are to be sold by not later than 90 days following the end of the Citrine Global Group’s notice period
and if such shares are not sold to such third party within the 90 day period, the Pre-Emption right shall apply to any subsequent proposed
issuance. The preemption right does not apply to certain specified exceptions.
In
November 2022 the Company and iBOT agreed to extend to March 31, 2023 the pre-emption right previously granted to the Company with respect
to any equity or equity linked securities that iBOT proposes to issue to an unrelated third party with aggregate gross proceeds to iBOT
exceeding $1
million or which will result 51%
in a change in control in iBOT following such issuance. In March 2023, the Company and iBOT agreed to further extend to December 31,
2023 such right.

Stock
split
On
June 10, 2022, certain of the Company’s stockholders representing more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding share capital
(the “Majority Consenting Stockholders”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Reverse
Stock Split Certificate of Amendment”) in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock pursuant to
a range of between 50-to-1 and 700-to-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each fifty or seven
hundred shares of common stock (or any whole number within such range), as shall be determined by the Board at a later time, will be
automatically converted, without any further action by the stockholders, into one share of common stock. No fractional shares of common
stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder of the Company will be entitled to receive one
share of common stock in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split
Certificate of Amendment will be effective upon receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
and the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, both of which were not completed as of the date of the approval of the financial
statements.
Financial
support
The
Company has not yet to generate revenues and is dependent on raising funds from its current shareholders or from other sources. On April
13, 2021, Citrine S A L, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and related parties, has furnished the Company with an irrevocable letter
of obligation to financially support the Company until June 30, 2022. On March 17, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd.
extended this support through June 30, 2023. On August 14, 2022, Citrine S A L Investment & Holding Ltd. further extended this support
through June 30, 2024.
In
addition, 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 3,000,000 NIS
(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 an 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 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) Beezzhome 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 the date
of this report, Cannovation utilized $51,000 of the credit line.
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, management believes the Company 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.

Unaudited
Interim Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein have not been audited by an independent registered
public accounting firm but include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2023. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December
31, 2023.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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 fair value estimates of derivative liabilities
and assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair
value
Fair
value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
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.

Fair
value (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:

associated with entering into a revolving line of credit or revolving-debt arrangement are costs incurred in exchange for access to capital.
These fees are paid regardless of whether the funds are ever drawn down. Such costs are recorded as such on the balance sheet as prepaid
expenses. Upon drawing down a portion of the credit line, the applicable portion of the costs related to that draw down is presented
as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt when drawn and amortized as finance expenses using the effective interest method.

4 - INVESTMENT VALUED UNDER THE MEASUREMENT ALTERNATIVE
| A. | On
December 30, 2022, the Company, MyPlant Bio Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of
the State 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 44,328
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.
Under the terms of the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company purchased from the MyPlant shareholders an
aggregate of 44,328 ordinary shares of MyPlant (the “MyPlant Shares”) representing, on a fully diluted basis, 10% of the outstanding
MyPlant Shares, in consideration of $444,444 payable by the issuance by the Company to the MyPlant shareholders of an aggregate of 9,259,250
shares of common stock. In addition, under the Share Purchase and Option Agreement, the Company 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 our 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.
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.

NOTE
4 - INVESTMENT VALUED UNDER THE MEASUREMENT ALTERNATIVE (continue)
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 the MyPlant valuation is less than $4.45 million then 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.
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 methos was implemented.

| A. | 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 trouble debt restructuring, due to its financial condition and the relief that the abovementioned 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
September 30, 2022, the Company received a loan from Citrine S A L Hi Tech 7 LP, an Israeli limited partnership and an affiliated
entity, in the principal amount of $80,000.
The loan bear interest at 12%
per annum and was originally scheduled to mature on December
15, 2022, but the maturity date was extended to May 31, 2024. The principal and interest payment on the loan are to be made in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) at the exchange rate
which was in effect on the date on which the loan was advanced. |
|
B. |
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 detailed in note 5 A above). |
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 trouble 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.
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”.
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.

6 – OTHER EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD
| 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 3,000,000
NIS
(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 a an 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) Beezzhome 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 guarantee. |
During
the period of three month ended March 31, 2023, Cannovation utilized $51,000 out of the credit line.
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. The Company
determined the value of the shares issued at $82,000
based on the share price at the agreement date of which $5,000
were recorded as finance expenses and the remaining were recorded as pre-paid issuance expenses.
On
March 18, 2023, the Company issued to a consultant 1,077,339
shares of the Company’s common stock in
respect of the provision of the Credit Facility. The Company determined the value of the shares issued at $41,000

of which $3,000
were recorded as finance expenses and the remaining
were recorded as pre-paid issuance expenses.

The
collaboration with MyPlant is part of our strategy to add value to our product lines and position our company with a competitive edge
in the Wellness market and the Nutritional Supplements.
As
the worldwide use of botanical nutritional supplements and botanical drugs continues to grow, the need for scientific evaluation of the
safety and efficacy of these products is becoming ever greater. We are targeting and positioning our product lines for the nutritional
supplements market that is expected to reach $625 billion by 20309.
Developing
& Bringing Plant-Based Wellness & Pharma Products to Market
We
are basing our efforts on technologies to create research and innovation, developing plant-based solutions which include products for
improving quality of life and complementary solutions for balancing selected side effects caused by using medicines, cannabis, treatments,
or an unbalanced lifestyle.
Our
IP Strategy and R&D Roadmap include:
● |
Developing
wellness plant-based product portfolio across the range from scientific and research-based plants, such as herbal extracts, medicinal
mushrooms, and other natural ingredients. |
● |
Expanding
our current product lines and registering the products for worldwide regulatory approvals. |
● |
Developing
complementary products for balancing selected side effects caused by medicines, treatments, aging, stress, or an unbalanced lifestyle. |
● |
Researching
and developing pharma solutions with the mission of developing plant-based medicines and botanical drugs. |
● |
Building
our patent portfolio, conducting clinical trials, and advancing our products through innovation and technology. |
● |
We
filed provisional patent applications in the field of Balancing Side Effects in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO):
Patent Application No. 63/418,046, and Patent Application No. 63/388,361 for compositions and methods for balancing side effects

About
Side Effects Caused by Using Medicines, Treatments or an Unbalanced Lifestyle
Side
effects are unexpected reactions which may result from using medicines, treatments and an unbalanced lifestyle. There are common side
effects, such as dryness in the oral cavity (xerostomia), headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, lack of concentration,
and impaired appetite that are associated with the use of medicines and treatments10.
The
public health impact of harms associated with medicines and treatments is a growing area of investigation, given the expanding pharma
industry and widespread availability of drugs and different medical treatments around the world. Current evidence suggests that use of
medicines is associated with side effects. Exploring the relationship between drug side-effects and therapeutic indications demonstrates
that 69% of drugs have between 10 and 100 different side effects11.

Treatment
of side-effects, or adverse drug reactions, has become a healthcare concern12. The new market of Pharmacovigilance, also known
as drug safety – the pharmaceutical science relating to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse
effects with pharmaceutical products – is developing and expected to reach $12.48 Billion in 2027. Driving this are increasing
public awareness and demand for safer medications and increasing government initiatives to promote drug safety around the globe13.
We
believe that natural plant-based products show great promise in improving quality of life and can be used as complementary products to
balance side effects. Antibiotics and probiotics are an excellent use case. Antibiotics are important for treating bacterial infections;
however, they can sometimes cause side effects such as diarrhea, liver disease and changes to the gut microbiota. Using probiotics during
and after a treatment with antibiotics can help reduce the risk of diarrhea and restore the gut microbiota to a healthy state14.
Addressing
a significant market need, we included in our strategy the development of plant based complementary solutions through wellness as well
as clinically developing plant-based pharmaceutical products to address the need to balance selected effects and support people who experience
side effects from using medicines, cannabis, and various treatments.
Our
Plant-based product lines categories:
We
have more than 100 formulations & products under the brand names of GreenFeels™ and Green Side by Side™ product lines
that include wellness plant-based products and nutritional supplements for improving quality of life and complementary products for balancing
selected side effects caused by medicines, cannabis, treatments, or an unbalanced lifestyle.

On
March 6, 2023 our majority owned subsidiary, 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 3,000,000 NIS (approximately $857,000) as needed. At the time of each draw down, Cannovation and Lender will
determine the repayment of the loan. All amounts drawn under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a monthly rate of 1.7% and will
be due by no later than September 2024. 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 Lender a first priority lien on its rights to the
125,000 sq ft (11,687 sqm) of industrial land in Yerucham, a city in southern Israel which Cannovation acquired in February of 2022 (the
“Premises”) to build the Green Vision Center Israel with the support of the government of Israel. 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 on such terms and conditions as the parties may agree.
On
January 29, 2023, the holders of the convertible loans issued under the Convertible Loan Agreement agreed to extend to May 31, 2024 the
maturity date thereof of such loans and further agreed that upon a public offering of our securities, our management is authorized to
effect in connection with a listing of the Company’s stock on a U.S. National Securities Exchange, at our sole discretion, a conversion
into shares of our common stock of all or part of such outstanding loans at a rate equal to the public offering price of the common stock
under any such offering
Based
on the Company’s current cash balances and the access to the Credit Facility described above, the Company believes that it has
sufficient funds for its plans for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. As the Company is embarking
on its activities as detailed herein, it is incurring losses. It cannot determine with reasonable certainty when and if it will have
sustainable profits.
Off-Balance
