LOANS AND CONVERTIBLE BRIDGE FINANCING |
NOTE 8: |
LOANS AND CONVERTIBLE BRIDGE FINANCING |
| a. | In August 2017, the Company entered into several Securities Purchase
Agreements with new investors and additional existing shareholders (collectively, the “CLA August 2017”), pursuant to which
the Company issued and sold to such holders senior secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $905,555 in consideration
for an aggregate subscription amount of $774,400 net of issuance costs of $40,600. |
| | As part of the CLA August 2017, the Company also issued to the lenders
five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate 905,555 ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $1.20 per ordinary share. The Company classified
the warrants as liabilities due to their nature in the amount of $492,034 (the Company used the following assumptions: 0% dividend yield,
69% expected volatility, 2.16% risk free rate and 4.64 expected life in years). As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the warrants
amounted to $5,841. The warrants were forfeited during 2022. |
The notes include a 10% original issue
discount on the consideration paid and bear interest at 6% per annum. The notes mature after 14-24 months and may be converted into ordinary
shares, subject to the terms of such notes. The initial conversion price of the notes was $1.00, but it was adjusted in January 2018 to
$0.50, in October 2018 to $0.17 and further adjusted in September 2021 to $0.07. The Company accounted for the convertible loans in accordance
with ASC 470-20, “Debt with conversion and other Options.” According to ASC 470-20-30-8, since the intrinsic value of the
beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) exceeds the entire proceeds of the convertible loan, the Company allocated the entire
proceeds to the BCF as additional paid in capital. During 2022 and 2021, $0 and $84,758 of the convertible notes were converted into 0
and 498,758 ordinary shares, respectively. The Company may require mandatory conversion of the notes in certain circumstances and pay
the convertible note in cash upon event of fundamental transaction and change of control transaction as described in the convertible note
agreement.
In connection with the convertible
loan agreement signed in October 2018 as described in section c. below, the lenders in the CLA August 2017 agreed to extend the original
maturity date for an additional 24 months. In addition, the Company issued to certain participants in the CLA August 2017 additional four-year
warrants to purchase in the aggregate 1,659,971 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.17. The Company classified the warrants as
liabilities in the amount of $42,591. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the warrants amounted to $11,359. The warrants were forfeited
during 2022.
The CLA August 2017 was required to
be repaid by October 2020. The majority of the lenders did not exercise their conversion right under the convertible loans prior to the
repayment date and therefore, the outstanding amounts (principal and interest) became repayable in cash at such time. The Company did
not timely repay such loan amounts due to financial difficulties and therefore, the Company is in default under those agreements.
| b. | On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into a Share
Purchase Agreement with an existing shareholder (collectively, the “CLA May 2018”), pursuant to which the shareholder provided
the Company with an 18-month convertible loan in an aggregate principal amount of $170,000 and received from the Company warrants to purchase
170,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per ordinary share. The loan amount is convertible into ordinary shares at a conversion
price of $1.00 per ordinary share. The loan includes a 10% original issue discount and bears interest of 6% per annum. In accordance with
the accounting guidance on convertible instruments, the BCF of $15,300 was recognized in additional paid in capital. The warrants may
be exercised, in whole or in part, for a period of five (5) years. Such warrants were classified as equity due to their nature, their
fair value upon issuance date amounted to $65,718 (the Company used the following assumptions: 0% dividend yield, 59.69% expected volatility,
2.80% risk free rate and 5 expected life in years).
The CLA May 2018 was required to be repaid by November 2019. This lender
did not exercise its conversion right under the convertible loans prior to the repayment date and therefore, the outstanding amount (principal
and interest) became repayable in cash as such time. The Company did not timely repay such loan due to financial difficulties and therefore,
the Company is in default under this agreement.
|
| c. | On October 10, 2018,
the Company entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with an existing investor who invested relatively low amounts previously (the “CLA
October 2018”). Pursuant to this agreement, the investor provided the Company a convertible loan in an aggregate principal amount
of $1,000,000 at an exercise price as defined in the convertible loan agreement but no less than $0.17. The convertible loan bears an
interest rate at Israeli prime plus 4% per annum. Under the terms of the CLA October 2018, the investor was granted an option to lend
the Company an additional amount up to $2,000,000 (the “Additional Loan Amount”) and the Company also issued to the investor
a warrant to purchase ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, and undertook to issue an additional warrant conditioned
upon the investment of the Additional Loan Amount to purchase ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000 calculated
pro-rata to the amount out of the Additional Loan Amount actually provided.
In March, April, August and December 2019 such
investor provided to the Company additional amounts of $500,000, $500,000, $100,000 and $150,000, respectively on account of the Additional
Loan Amount (the “CLA March-December 2019”). The Company determined that the $100,000 received in August 2019 contained a
BCF of $21,445 and recorded such BCF in the additional paid in capital in the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company also issued to
the investor for the aggregate $1,250,000 Additional Loan Amount a warrant to purchase ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price
of $3,125,000. Such convertible loans bears same terms as the CLA October 2018.
In July 2020, this investor provided to the Company
an additional $16,748 on account of the Additional Loan Amount (the “CLA July 2020”) and the Company granted the investor
a warrant to purchase ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $83,740. The terms of that convertible loan and the associated
warrants are the same as those of the CLA October 2018.
The CLA October 2018,
CLA March-December 2019 and CLA July 2020 were required to be repaid by the Company in October 2020. This lender did not exercise its
conversion right under such convertible loans prior to their repayment date and therefore, they became repayable in cash as such time.
The Company did not timely repay such loans due to financial difficulties and therefore, the Company is in default under those agreements.
On September 23, 2021, all those CLAs (principal plus the accrued
interest as of that date) were converted into ordinary shares and all the related warrants were cancelled. See Note 11.b.5. for additional
information.

The warrants were forfeited during 2020.
The CLA November 2018 was required to be repaid
by November 2020. The lenders did not exercise their conversion right under the convertible loans prior to the repayment date and therefore,

to financial difficulties and therefore, the Company is in default under these agreements.
On September 23, 2021, $25,000 of the amounts outstanding under the
