CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere herein may address or relate to future events and expectations and as such constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things:

 

  sales of our products;
  the size and growth of our product market;
  our activity in the civilian market;
  our manufacturing capabilities;
  our entering into certain partnerships with third parties;
  obtaining required regulatory approvals for sales or exports of our products;
  our marketing plans;
  our expectations regarding our short- and long-term capital requirements;
  the effect of COVID-19 on our business;
  our outlook for the coming months and future periods, including but not limited to our expectations regarding future revenue and expenses; and
  information with respect to any other plans and strategies for our business.

 

Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors. These statements may be found under the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (filed on March 30, 2020) (“2019 Annual Report”) entitled “Risk Factors” as well as in our other public filings.

 

In light of these risks and uncertainties, and especially given the start-up nature of our business, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein will in fact occur. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

 

Save Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 1, 2009, under the laws of the State of Delaware. On April 27, 2009, the Company acquired from its stockholders all the issued and outstanding shares of Save Foods Ltd. (formerly Pimi Agro Cleantech Ltd.) (“Save Foods Israel”), including preferred and ordinary shares (the Company and Save Foods Israel, collectively, the “Group”).

 

Save Foods Israel was incorporated in 2004 and commenced its operations in 2005. Save Foods Israel develops, produces, and focuses on delivering innovative solutions for the food industry aimed at improving food safety and prolonging shelf life of fresh produce.

 

In February 2010, the Company’s shares of Common Stock were initially quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PIMZ.OB.” As of the date of these financial statements, the Company’s Common Stock quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “SAFO.”

 

Going Concern

 

Since its incorporation (April 1, 2009), the Company has not had any operations other than those carried out by Save Foods Israel. The development and commercialization of Save Foods Israel’s products will require substantial expenditures. Save Foods Israel and the Company have not yet generated sufficient revenues from their operations to fund the Group activities and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing their operations. There can be no assurance that Save Foods Israel and the Company will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing to continue their operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $310,571 in cash, a negative working capital of $309,931 and an accumulated deficit of $12,061,100.

 

The Company will need to secure additional capital in the future in order to meet its anticipated liquidity needs primarily through the sale of additional Common Stock or other equity securities and/or debt financing. Funds from these sources may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, and the Company cannot give assurance that it will be successful in securing such additional capital.

 

The Company focuses its solutions towards vegetables and fruits which are considered the largest in terms of worldwide consumption. Among other things, the Company commenced cooperation with certain major fruit packing houses in Israel and abroad.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about Save Foods Israel and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) to be a global pandemic (COVID-19), which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. COVID-19 may impact various aspects of the Company’s operations and financial results during the year 2020, including, but not limited to, reduction is sales, difficulties in obtaining additional financing, or potential shortages of personnel. The Company believes it is taking appropriate actions to mitigate the negative impacts. However, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated as these events occurred subsequent to year end and are still developing.

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

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2020. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

 

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 United States 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 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the going concern assumptions, share based compensation and convertible loans.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will originally become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. As a smaller reporting company, the effective date for the Company has been delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, in accordance with ASU 2019-10, although early adoption is still permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and subsequent amendments, which replaced existing lease guidance in GAAP and requires lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases longer than twelve months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method and used the effective date as our date of initial application. Financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients for transition. The Company elected the package of practical expedients under the transition guidance which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standards our prior conclusions for lease identification and lease classification on expired or existing contracts and whether initial direct costs previously capitalized would qualify for capitalization under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients and recognition exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting policy elections. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

 

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting.” The standard expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, simplifying the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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

 

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

 

NOTE 3 –  CONVERTIBLE LOANS

 

  A. In December 2019, the Company entered into a series of Convertible Loan Agreements (each a “CLA”) with third parties and certain existing shareholders (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide the Company loans in the aggregate amount of $379,000 and in exchange the Company issued to the Lenders (i) convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and (ii) warrants with an exercise price of $1.20. In January and March 2020, the Company entered into two additional CLA agreements for an aggregate amount of $135,000, consisting of the same terms.
     
    According to the terms of the CLA, the Notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum and the loan amount represented by the Notes is to be repaid to the Lenders according to the following schedule: (i) the principal amount represented by the Notes to be repaid in twenty four equal monthly installments, commencing on the twenty fifth month following the closing of each CLA, and (ii) the interest accrued on the loan amount to be paid in two bi-annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the first payment of the principal amount.
     
    In addition, according to the terms of the CLA, the outstanding loan amount matures on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of each CLA or (ii) a deemed liquidation event (as defined therein), and the Lenders may convert all or any portion of the Notes at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of each issuance into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.20 per share.
     
    In accordance with ASC 815-15-25, the conversion feature was considered embedded derivative instruments, and is to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible loan and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company recorded finance expenses in respect of the convertible component in the convertible loan in the excess amount of the convertible component fair value over the face loan amount. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.
     
    As a result of the above issuances, the Company recorded in the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a total amount of $34,696 and $97,406, respectively, in respect of the detachable warrants, as a credit to stockholders’ equity (additional paid in capital). The fair value of the Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free rate of 1.6%, a volatility factor of 54.00%, dividend yields of 0% and an expected life of 3 years.

NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE LOANS (continue)

 

    On June 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with the Lenders in connection with the sale and issuance of 485,318 units (“Units”), at a purchase price of $1.09 per Unit. Each Unit consists of: (i) one share of Common Stock and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.20 (the “Warrant”). In connection with the SPA, the Company issued to the Lenders an aggregate of 485,318 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 485,318 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock were issued on July 2, 2020.
     
    Simultaneous with and conditioned upon the execution of the SPA, the Company and each of the Lenders agreed to effectively cancel the CLA and the equity securities issued thereunder. In connection therewith, each of the Lenders voluntarily waived any right to receive interest that accrued thereupon pursuant to the CLA.
     
    The Company evaluated the transaction as an exchange of instruments and as a result of the above conversion, recorded a compensation expenses in a total amount of $57,793, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and as a credit to stockholders’ equity (additional paid in capital). The fair value of the additional shares granted in the conversion was calculated based on the Company’s share price as of the date of the conversion. The fair value of the additional warrants granted in the conversion was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk-free rate of 0.21%, a volatility factor of 51.96%, dividend yields of 0% and an expected life of 2.45-2.71 years.
     
    During the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded net interest and amortization expenses in the amount of $141,917 and $4,323, respectively, in respect of the discounts recorded on the CLAs.
     
  B. On September 21, 2020, the Company entered into a series of additional convertible loan agreements (each a “2020 CLA”) with certain lenders (the “2020 Lenders”) to sell convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $125,000 (each a “2020 Note”). The outstanding loan amount under the 2020 CLA will mature on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of each 2020 CLA or (ii) a deemed liquidation event (as defined therein), and the 2020 Lenders may convert all or any portion of the 2020 Notes into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to a mandatory conversion event (as defined therein) at a conversion price of $1.09 per share. The 2020 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The loan amount represented by the 2020 Notes will be repaid to the 2020 Lenders according to the following schedule: (i) the principal amount represented by the 2020 Notes will be repaid in four bi-annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary following the closing of each 2020 CLA, and (ii) the interest accrued on the loan amount will be paid in two bi-annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the first payment of that principal amount.
     
    As part of the 2020 CLA, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each of the 2020 Lenders, whereby each 2020 Lender received piggyback registration rights for the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2020 Notes to shares of Common Stock.

The loans are convertible into common Stock upon (i) a completion of underwritten public offering (“Mandatory Conversion”) convert the outstanding loan amount at a share price as shall be determined in the offering, or (ii) at the lender’s discretion (“Optional Conversion”) convert the outstanding loan amount at a share price per share of $1.09.

 

In accordance with ASC 815-15-25, the conversion feature was considered embedded derivative instruments, and is to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible loan and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company recorded finance expenses in respect of the convertible component in the convertible loan in the excess amount of the convertible component fair value over the face loan amount. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.

 

The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by third party appraiser as weighted average of the two possible scenarios of the total loan amount conversion: 70% probability for the Mandatory Conversion and 30% probability for the Optional Conversion.

 

The Mandatory Conversion 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 Company has estimated the fair value of such derivative at a value of $15,208 as of September 21, 2020. The following are the data and assumptions used as of the balance sheet date:

 

   September 21, 2020 
Dividend yield   0 
Risk-free interest rate   0.19%
Expected term (years)   0.775 
Volatility   51.96%
Share price   0.96 
Exercise price   1.09 

 

The Optional Conversion was estimated by the appraiser using binomial option pricing model and simulating and waiver of the lender as an exercise price, to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The Company has estimated the fair value of such derivative at a value of $26,824 as of September 21, 2020. The following are the data and assumptions used as of the balance sheet date:

 

   September 21, 2020 
Dividend yield   0 
Risk-free interest rate   0.12%-0.16% 
Volatility   51.96%
Share price   0.96 

 

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 at $18,692.

 

The fair value allocated to the convertible loan was estimated by third party appraiser as the residual value of the proceeds net of the convertible component and was estimated at a value of $106,308 at the issuance date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Readers are advised to review the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in our 2019 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

We are an innovative company that develops eco-friendly “green” solutions for the food industry. Our solutions are developed to improve food safety and shelf life of fresh produce by controlling human and plant pathogens, thus ensuring safety and reducing its spoilage, which, in turn, reduces food loss and waste.

 

Our products are based on a proprietary blend of food acids which are combined with low concentration of an oxidizer. Our products are capable of cleaning, sanitizing and controlling pathogens that render produce unsafe for human consumption or which lead to certain forms of decay in fruit and vegetable. Our active ingredients do not leave any toxicological residues on the fresh produce we treat. By forming a temporary protective shield around the fresh produce we treat, we make it difficult for pathogens to develop and thereby provide long-lasting protection which also reduces cross-contamination.

 

Most conventional chemical pesticides (fungicides) which are currently used to protect fresh produce and reduce food waste are toxic, they remain on fruit peel and present health concerns, while also polluting the environment. Therefore, the use of these products is strictly regulated and their residue on food and on the environment must be carefully monitored. Our products on average reduce by 50% (and in some cases eliminate) the need for additional use of conventional fungicide in the post-harvest phase.

 

We have a unique opportunity to make a positive difference throughout the food value chain from field to fork. We target major markets that use conventional chemical pesticides (fungicides) and sanitizers, including the pre- and post-harvest market, the greenhouse market and the fresh-cut market, where our “green” products are used as alternatives for, or mixed with, conventional products. We also target the cannabis market, for which we believe there are limited available and authorized conventional chemical products that can be used, either because of (a) health and environmental concerns, or (b) microbial resistance that has reduced the efficacy of conventional chemical pesticides.

 

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have postpend some of our planned field tests and international travels. In addition, some of our employees are currently on a temporary leave without pay (furlough). We expect the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its effect on our financial and operational results, to be dictated by, among other things, its duration, the success of efforts to contain it and the impact of actions taken in response. While we are not able at this time to estimate the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial and operational results, it could be material.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Please see Note 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the summary of significant accounting policies. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of our 2019 Annual Report with respect to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our 2019 Annual Report.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The development and commercialization of our product will require substantial expenditures. We have not yet generated any material revenues and have incurred substantial accumulated deficit and negative operating cash flows. We currently have no sources of recurring revenue and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing our operations. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing to continue our operations. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenues and cost of revenues.

 

We had no revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020, or for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

We do not have backlogs or firm commitments from our clients for our products. Our sales might deteriorate if we fail to achieve commercial success or obtain regulatory approval of any of our products.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses consist of salaries and related expenses, consulting fees, service providers’ costs, related materials and overhead expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $87,465, a decrease of $64,939, or 43%, compared to total research and development expenses of $152,404 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to: (1) the decrease in professional fees, share based compensation and in payroll; and (2) the decrease in expenses associated with international travel and field trials which have been postponed due to COVID-19.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for sales and marketing personnel, travel related expenses and services providers. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $6,734, a decrease of $113,715, or 94%, compared to total selling and marketing expenses of $120,449 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease in payroll expenses and service providers used in relation to selling and marketing activities mainly associated with the termination of the employment of our Vice President of Sales in February 2020.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

The decrease is mainly attributable to: (1) the decrease in professional fees, share based compensation and in payroll; and (2) the decrease in expenses associated with international travel and field trials which have been postponed due to COVID-19.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had $310,571 in cash, as compared to $290,815 as of December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, we had a negative working capital of $309,931, as compared to negative working capital of $199,212 as of December 31, 2019. The increase in our cash balance is mainly attributable to equity financing less our net loss, as described above, which is offset by share based compensation expenses and other non-cash expenses.

The spread of COVID-19 throughout the world may result in a period of business and manufacturing disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations especially regarding its ability to obtain the necessary finance to continue the Company’s operations. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have postpend some of our planned field tests and international travels. In addition, some of our employees are currently on a temporary leave without pay (furlough).

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, and due to certain material weaknesses identified by management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2020.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Our business faces many risks, a number of which are described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report. The risks described in the 2019 Annual Report and below may not be the only risks we face. Other risks of which we are not yet aware, or that we currently believe are not material, may also materially and adversely impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the risk factors contained in the 2019 Annual Report or described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted and the value of an investment in our securities could decline. Investors and prospective investors should consider the risks described in the 2019 Annual Report and below, and the information contained under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before deciding whether to invest in our securities.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic, or any other pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, may materially and adversely affect our business and operations.

 

The outbreak of COVID-19, which originated in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, has since spread across the globe, including the United States, Israel and many European countries in which we operate. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. While COVID-19 is still spreading and the final implications of the pandemic are difficult to estimate at this stage, it is clear that it has affected the lives of a large portion of the global population. At this time, the pandemic has caused states of emergency to be declared in various countries, travel restrictions imposed globally, quarantines established in certain jurisdictions and various institutions and companies being closed. We are actively monitoring the pandemic and we are taking any necessary measures to respond to the situation in cooperation with the various stakeholders.

 

Based on guidelines provided by the Israeli Government, employers (including us) are also required to prepare and increase as much as possible the capacity and arrangement for employees to work remotely. In that regard, and in compliance with all applicable Israeli rules and guidelines, our offices have remained closed since the middle of March 2020, and all of our employees currently work remotely. In addition, COVID-19 infection of our workforce could result in a temporary disruption in our business activities, including manufacturing, and other functions.

 

The spread of an infectious disease, including COVID-19, may also result in the inability of our manufacturers to deliver components or finished products on a timely basis and may also result in the inability of our suppliers to deliver the parts required by our manufacturers to complete manufacturing of components or finished products. In addition, governments may divert spending from other budgeted resources as they seek to reduce and/or stop the spread of an infectious disease, such as COVID-19. Such events may result in a period of business and manufacturing disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.
