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. Due to the effects of COVID-19, as of the date of this report, some of Company's employees are on temporary leave without pay (furlough), including Company's Chief Technology Officer, and we have postponed some of our planned field tests due to the current restriction on international travels. However, to date, the Company did not experience any material impact on our financial condition and results of operations due to COVID-19 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.

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 shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SVFD.”
Due to the effects of COVID-19, as of the date of this report, some of our employees are on temporary leave without pay (furlough), including our Chief Technology Officer, and we have postponed some of our planned field tests due to restrictions on international travels. However, to date, 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.

The decrease is mainly a result of the decrease in the overall cost of materials, due to our efforts to outsource production of our new solutions.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $163,190, an increase of $125,310, or 331%, compared to gross profit of $37,880 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is mainly a result of the increase in revenues and the decrease in cost of revenues, as detailed above.

The decrease is mainly attributable to the increase in payroll expenses and service providers used in relation to selling and marketing activities mainly associated with the termination of the employment of our former vice president of sales in February 2020 partially offset by an increase in share based compensation expenses.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses including share based compensation, professional fees and other non-personnel related expenses such as legal expenses and directors and insurance costs. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $1,672,707, an increase of $1,159,331, or 226%, compared to total general and administrative expenses of $513,376 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is mainly a result of the increase in professional services and compensation payable to directors following the listing of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which occurred during the second quarter of 2021, offset partially by a decrease share-based compensation to our employees and service providers.
Financing Expenses, Net

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 June 30, 2021, we have funded our operations principally with approximately $23,244,172 (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:

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 9,062,900 | | | $ | (255,564 | ) |
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $9,305,800, as compared to $242,900 as of December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, we had a working capital of $8,904,187, 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 described above and proceeds from convertible loans.
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 issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We may also satisfy its liquidity through the sale of its securities, either in public or private transactions.
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.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,375 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $574 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

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, 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 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 “Underwriters”), 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, which was not exercised by the Underwriters, and to issue the Underwriters a five-year warrants 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, or $13.75.
