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:
| ● | our current and future capital requirements and our ability to satisfy our capital needs through financing transactions or otherwise; | |
| ● | 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; | |

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, 2020 (filed on March 29, 2021) (“2020 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.
On February 23, 2021, we implemented a one-for-seven reverse stock split of our Common Stock pursuant to which holders of our Common Stock received one share of our Common Stock for every seven shares of Common Stock held. Unless the context expressly dictates otherwise, all references to share and per share amounts referred to herein reflect the reverse stock split.

Commencing on May 14, 2021, Company’s common stock began to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital under the symbol “SVFD”.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic. To date, the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operations has been mainly limited to a temporary facility closure in the context of a government-mandated general lockdown, which temporary delayed certain development activities. The Company estimates that as of the date of approval of the financial statements, the COVID-19 pandemic is not expected to affect the Company’s operations. However, the Company is unable to assess with certainty the extent of future impact, in part due to the uncertainty regarding the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, its force and its effects on the markets in which the Company operates and the effects of possible government measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
Reverse Stock Split

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 (“U.S. GAAP”). 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 for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2021. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
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, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 share based compensation.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Readers are advised to review the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in our 2020 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our 2020 Annual Report 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. Furthermore, certain disclosures and references made herein apply to Save Foods Ltd., the subsidiary of Save Foods, Inc. The primary business activities and operations discussed herein are performed by Save Foods Ltd., whereas Save Foods, Inc. operates as a holding company and is the Registrant for purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We develop eco-friendly “green” solutions for the food industry. Our solutions are developed to improve the food safety and shelf life of fresh produce. We do this by controlling human and plant pathogens, thereby reducing spoilage, and in turn, reducing food loss.
Our products are based on a proprietary blend of food acids which have a synergistic effect when combined with certain types of oxidizing agent-based sanitizers and fungicides at low concentrations. Our green products are capable of cleaning, sanitizing and controlling pathogens on fresh produce with the goal of making them safer for human consumption and extending their shelf life by reducing their decay. One of the main advantages of our products is that our active ingredients do not leave any toxicological residues on the fresh produce we treat. In contrary, by forming a temporary protective shield around the fresh produce we treat, our products make it difficult for pathogens to develop and potentially provide protection which also reduces cross-contamination.
Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SVFD.”
As of the date of this report, we did not experience any material impact on our financial condition and results of operations due to COVID-19, and we do not expect to experience any material impact on our overall liquidity positions and outlook as a result of the outbreak. Nevertheless, it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, the continued spread of COVID-19, and any additional measures taken by governments, health officials or by us in response to such spread, could have on our business results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures. Since our inception through September 30, 2021, we have funded our operations, principally with approximately $23,463,738 (net of issuance expenses), from the issuance of shares of our Common Stock, options and loans.
On May 13, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,090,909 shares of Common Stock at a price to the public of $11.00 per share. The gross proceeds we received from this offering were $12,000,000 (net proceeds of $10,457,862) (the “Underwritten Offering”).
The table below presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| Nine
Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||

As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $7,771,539, as compared to $242,900 as of December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, we had a working capital of $7,652,779, as compared to a negative working capital of $290,062 as of December 31, 2020. The increase in our cash balance is mainly attributable to the Underwritten Offering offset by our cash used in operations.
Operating Activities

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $23,760 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1,809 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $10,713,367 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $637,344 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is mainly the result of proceeds from to the Underwritten Offering described above.

Financial Arrangements
Since our inception, we have financed our operation primarily through proceeds from sales of our shares of Common Stock, convertible loan agreements and grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority, or the IIA, formerly known as the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Economy and Industry.
During January 2021, we entered into a series of convertible loan agreements with an aggregate principal amount of $274,000 that each bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum.
On May 11, 2021 and May 12, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 66,877 shares of Common Stock following the conversion of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $499,000 and of aggregated accrued interest amount of $11,211, at a conversion price of $7.63 per share.
On May 18, 2021, we closed the Underwritten Offering pursuant to which we issued a total of 1,090,909 shares of our Common Stock at a purchase price of $11.00 per share. In connection with the Underwritten Offering, we agreed to grant ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), a 45-day option to purchase up to 163,636 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $11.00 per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions solely to cover over-allotments, and to issue the Underwriter a five-year warrant to purchase up to 54,545 shares of Common Stock, at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the Underwritten Offering price per share of Common Stock. The gross proceeds from the Underwritten Offering were approximately $12,000,000.

Changes to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are set forth in our 2020 Annual Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
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, 2021, 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, 2021.
In connection with the audit of our 2020 annual consolidated financial statements, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to (1) the size of the Company and available resources and limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting functions, which resulted in a lack of segregation of duties, (2) lack of a full time Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer tasked with overseeing day–to-day operations and the financial reporting functions and (3) lack of an independent audit committee capable of providing management oversight. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to the financial statements, and there were no changes to previously released financial results.
In light of the material weakness, we performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures and hired an additional accounting personnel to ensure our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, our CEO and CFO have certified that, based on their knowledge, the consolidated financial statements, and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented in this Form 10-Q.
We began remediation efforts of the aforementioned material weakness during the second quarter of 2021 for our accounting of non-routine complex transactions control by, inter alia, hiring additional finance personnel, appointing a full-time Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, both of which have financial expertise, and establishing an independent audit committee that provide management oversight. We continue to evaluate our internal and external technical accounting resources to ensure they are appropriate for us and our needs. Additionally, there is a renewed emphasis on our process going forward for the initial identification of potential contracts and transactions that may be non-routine and complex during a reporting period, and then conducting the necessary procedures with the full internal accounting team and external consultants to review and research the proper guidance and approach toward such accounting.
We believe these measures, and others that may be implemented, will remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described above.
The material weakness will not be considered formally remediated until the control has operated effectively for a sufficient period of time, and after management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively.
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.
