Unless the context expressly dictates otherwise, all references to share and per share amounts referred to herein reflect the reverse stock split.

Effects of the spread of the coronavirus
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create business and economic uncertainty and volatility in the global markets. Many countries around the world are experiencing further outbreaks of the pandemic, which has resulted in governments once again imposing various restrictions. At the same time, there is a recovery trend in the volume of economic activity around the world that leads, on one hand, to significant demand for certain products and services, and on the other hand, disruptions to worldwide supply chain routes and some raw materials. The Group continues to take measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees, suppliers, other business partners and the communities in which it operates in order to ensure, among others, its operation level, the proper functioning of its facilities and to minimize the pandemic’s potential impact on its business. Manufacturing continues at the Group’s sites without interruptions. However, there is still a difficulty in assessing the future impacts of the pandemic on the Group’s operations, inter alia, in light of the uncertainty of its duration, the extent of its intensity and effects on global supply chains and global markets, and additional countermeasures that may be taken by governments and central banks.

Basis of presentation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report are unaudited. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other future annual or interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K. Since the date of such financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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.

Furthermore, certain disclosures and references made herein apply to Save Foods Ltd., the subsidiary of Save Foods, Inc.

Overview
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 treatments 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 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.”
Recent Developments
Underwritten Offering
On August 15, 2022, we entered into an underwriting agreement with ThinkEquity LLC, as representative (the “Representative”), of the several underwriters named therein, relating to our public offering of 1,600,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $3.00 per share (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on August 18, 2022.
The shares of Common Stock in the Offering were offered, issued and sold under a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2022, in connection with a takedown from our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-266159), which became effective on July 22, 2022. In connection with the Offering, we agreed to issue to the Representative a warrant (the “Representative Warrant”) to purchase up to 5% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering. The Representative Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at a per share exercise price of $3.75, which is equal to 125% of the public offering price per share of Common Stock. The Representative Warrant will be exercisable commencing on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following August 15, 2022 and will expire on August 15, 2027.

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, 2022, we have funded our operations, principally with approximately $20 million (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 an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share. The gross proceeds we received from this offering were $12,000,000 (net proceeds of $10,457,862) (the “May 2021 Underwritten Offering”).
On August 15, 2022, we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial public offering price of $3.00 per share. The gross proceeds we received from this offering were $4,800,000 (net proceeds of $4,103,330) (the “August 2022 Underwritten Offering”).
The table below presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | (4,126,702 | ) | (3,189,906 | ) | ||||

| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | (3,235 | ) | 8,383 | |||||
| Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | (67,926 | ) | 7,560,750 | |||||
As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,689,979, as compared to $7,771,539 as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, we had a working capital of $6,505,950, as compared to the working capital of $7,652,779 as of September 30, 2021. The decrease in our cash balance is mainly attributable to cash used in operations.
In view of our cash balance following the above transactions, we anticipate that our cash balances will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations for at least a period of twelve months from the date of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We may also satisfy our liquidity through the sale of securities, either in public or private transactions.
| 23 |
If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing Common Stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the Common Stock. If adequate funds are not available to us when needed on satisfactory terms, we may be required to cease operating or otherwise modify our business strategy.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,126,702 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $3,189,906 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is mainly attributable to our net loss of $4,372,949.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $35,430 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $23,760 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in purchase of property and equipment partially offset by an increase in funds in respect of employee rights upon retirement
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,097,441 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $10,766,033 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is mainly the result of proceeds from the May 2021 Underwritten Offering described above and conversions of convertible loans which occurred during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to proceeds from the August 2022 Underwritten Offering described above.
Financial Arrangements
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 May 2021 Underwritten Offering pursuant to which we issued a total of 1,090,909 shares of our Common Stock at an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share. In connection with the May 2021 Underwritten Offering, we agreed to grant the Representative a 45-day option to purchase up to 163,636 additional shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions solely to cover over-allotments, and to issue the Representative 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 May 2021 Underwritten Offering price per share of Common Stock. The gross proceeds from the May 2021 Underwritten Offering were approximately $12,000,000.
On August 18, 2022, we closed the August 2022 Underwritten Offering pursuant to which we issued a total of 1,600,000 shares of our Common Stock at a public offering price of $3.00 per share. In connection with the August 2022 Underwritten Offering, we agreed to grant the Representative a 45-day option to purchase up to 240,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $3.00 per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions solely to cover over-allotments, and to issue the Representative a five-year warrant to purchase up to 80,000 shares of Common Stock, at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the August 2022 Underwritten Offering price per share of Common Stock. The gross proceeds from the August 2022 Underwritten Offering were approximately $4,800,000.
