ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Creations, Inc. was incorporated in May 2019. On July 1, 2019, Creations, Inc, acquired a 100% interest in Yetsira Holdings Ltd., though a share swap agreement. Yetsira Holdings is an Israeli Corporation incorporated on December 2017 which in turn owns 100% of Yetsira Investment House (“Yetsira”), our operating entity, incorporated in November 2016, and Ocean Partners Y.O.D.M Ltd. (“Ocean Partners” and “Ocean”).

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Yetsira Investment House and Ocean Partners, we operate as a portfolio manager, licensed by the Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”). We currently offer and manage ten mutual funds with approximately $283,000,000 in assets, currently under management (“AUM”). Our core-business is providing investment services for Israeli mutual funds.

 

We generate revenue primarily from management fees paid by our unitholders, which fees are based upon a certain percentage of their assets in the funds. Our expenses are mainly comprised of payments of distribution commissions to banks, third-party platform user fees, salary commissions and expenses, and commissions to the ISA and the Israeli Stock Exchange. Following the acquisition of Ocean, all the investment management business of the group is managed through Ocean. We exercise effective control over the operations of Ocean pursuant to a series of contractual arrangements, under which we are entitled to receive substantially all of its economic benefits.

 

Our continued focus is on our core business of mutual fund management, while increasing our number of managed funds, private portfolio and increasing our AUM. Part of our growth depends on the strength of our brand, which the Company intends to strengthen by increasing our exposure to the general public, especially through investment advisors in commercial banks, which constitute the main channel for funds distribution in Israel. We also plan to increase public relations activities and advertising. We also continue to examine the expansion of our areas of activity, through cooperation, locating synergistic opportunities for our existing areas of activity and establishing additional parallel investment opportunities. In addition, we may pursue the acquisition of other unrelated businesses in the financial sector.

 

On August 19, 2020, the Company purchased 7.5% of the outstanding and issued shares of Ocean Partners Y.O.D.M Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Ocean”) that acts as external mutual funds investment management services for 6 mutual funds and several private clients, for total cash consideration of approximately $87,000. On September 7, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement by and among Yetsira, Ocean, and certain shareholders of Ocean, pursuant to which the Company acquired the remaining 92.5% of the capital stock of Ocean in exchange for an aggregate of 1,254,498 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value, and 1,254,498 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) issued to the certain Ocean shareholders by the Company. The Warrants are convertible into shares of our common stock over a period of three-years at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company completed the acquisition on September 28, 2020.

 

The acquisition implements the Company’s vision of becoming a leading investment company in Israel and delivering high quality asset management and value to its clients and shareholders. By combining the two businesses, Yetsira and Ocean, the Company will be able to expand its variety of mutual funds and more than double its AUM. Moreover, Ocean has a large base of private clients with a high degree of customer loyalty which can be used as a platform to enlarge the Company’s privet client’s portfolio management business. Furthermore, the acquisition is intended to diversify the experience, skills and abilities of the Company’s investment managers team, including marketing experience that can be used to advance the Company forward.

Ocean is an external investment manager of 6 mutual fund and a portfolio manager of 74 private clients, with a total AUM of $95.3M with implied additional yearly expected revenue of $797,169.

 

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among Aharon Barkai & Co. Ltd. (the “Purchasers”) through its controllers Yaniv Aharon and Dan Barkai, and an agreement for the purchase of Shares and Capital Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company sold all of the capital stock and capital notes of Ocean Yetsira Ltd. (“Ocean”) in exchange for the payment of an aggregate of ILS 2,061,930 (approximately $586,000) and the return of 1,254,498 shares of common stock of the Company and 1,254,498 warrants to purchase common stock owned by the Purchasers. The transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Transaction”). Mr. Aharon is a director of the Company. The Capital Notes in the amount of ILS 2,165,800 (approximately $615,000) which are owed to the Company by Ocean will be repaid by the Purchasers at closing as well. The closing of the transaction was subject to the approval of the Court of Family Affairs to allow the Executor of the Estate of Guy Nissenson to sign upon behalf of the Estate and to approval of the Company’s stockholders. On March 20, 2023, such approval was obtained.

On August 19, 2020, the Company purchased 7.5% of the outstanding and issued shares of Ocean Partners Y.O.D.M Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Ocean”) for total cash consideration of approximately $87,000. On September 7, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement by and among Yetsira, Ocean, and certain shareholders of Ocean, pursuant to which the Company acquired the remaining 92.5% of the capital stock of Ocean in exchange for an aggregate of 1,254,498 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value, and 1,254,498 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) issued to the certain Ocean shareholders by the Company.

(the “Purchasers”) through its controllers Yaniv Aharon and Dan Barkai, and an agreement for the purchase of Shares and Capital Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company sold all of the capital stock and capital notes of Ocean Yetsira Ltd.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the year ended December 31, 2022, and does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

 

A.

Creations Inc. (hereinafter: the “Company”) was established as a private company under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 13, 2019. The Company’s core business is providing investment services for mutual funds and portfolio management services for individuals and institutions. It operates as a portfolio manager through its wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

The Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries. Ocean Yetsira Ltd. (hereinafter: “Ocean Yetsira”) which was established as a private Israeli corporation in December 2017, Yetsira Investment House Ltd. (hereinafter: “Yetsira”) which was established as a private Israeli corporation in November 2016 and Ocean Partners Y.O.D.M (hereinafter: “Ocean”) following its acquisition (See note 1B).

 

See note 1c.regarding planning for sailing these regarding.

 

On January 29, 2018 Ocean Yetsira became the sole stockholder of Yetsira by means of a share exchange agreement (the “Yetsira Exchange”), under which the issued and outstanding shares of Yetsira were exchanged for shares of Ocean Yetsira on a one-to-one basis.

 

On July 3, 2019 the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Holdings Exchange”) pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Ocean Yetsira were exchanged for shares of the Company at a rate of 1:809 (the “Exchange Ratio”), with Ocean Yetsira stockholders each receiving the same proportional ownership in the Company as they had held in Ocean Yetsira immediately prior to the agreement. On the execution of the agreement and exchange of shares, Ocean Yetsira became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

B.

On August 19, 2020, Ocean Yetsira entered into share purchase agreement with certain shareholders of Ocean, an Israeli corporation that provides mutual funds investment management services for several mutual funds, under which upon consummation of certain conditions Ocean Yetsira would purchase 7.5% of the outstanding and issued shares of Ocean for total cash consideration of NIS 300 (approximately $87) (the “Cash Consideration”).

 

On September 7, 2020, Ocean Yetsira entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among Ocean Yetsira, Ocean, and certain shareholders of Ocean (“Ocean Shareholders”), under which upon the consummation of certain conditions, Ocean Yetsira would purchase the remaining 92.5% of the shares of Ocean for a total equity consideration which represents 35.4% of the issued share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Equity Consideration”), which comprised of the following:

 

	1.	1,254,498 shares of common stock of the Company.
	2.	1,254,498 warrants to purchase the same number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are convertible into shares of Common Stock over a period of three-years at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, with the price per share subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments.

 

Ocean Yetsira consummated the aforesaid acquisition at September 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). The financial position and results of operation relating to periods following the Closing Date include the financial position and results of operations of Ocean.

 

C.

On April 17, 2022, the board of directors approved a resolution as to matters of ongoing conduct such as signatory rights, voting etc. In addition, compensation of officers was updated. Also, non-committal guidelines for future transactions regarding sale of main activity to related parties and sale of holdings by those parties were discussed, these guidelines are pursuant to completion of legal structuring, compliance issues and more.

 

On February 9, 2023, after the balance sheet date, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among Aharon Barkai & Co. Ltd. (the “Purchasers”) through its controllers Yaniv Aharon and Dan Barkai, and an agreement for the purchase of Shares and Capital Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company sold all of the capital stock and capital notes of Ocean Yezira Ltd. (“Ocean”) in exchange for the payment of an aggregate of ILS 2,061,930 (approximately $586,000) and the return of 1,254,498 shares of common stock of the Company and 1,254,498 warrants to purchase common stock owned by the Purchasers. The transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Transaction”). Mr. Aharon is a director of the Company. The Capital Notes in the amount of ILS 2,165,800 (approximately $615,000) which are owed to the Company by Ocean will be repaid by the Purchasers at closing as well. The closing of the transaction was subject to the approval of the Court of Family Affairs to allow the Executor of the Estate of Guy Nissenson to sign upon behalf of the Estate and to approval of the Company’s stockholders. On March 20, 2023, such approval was obtained.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (CONT.)

 

	D.	On August 31, 2020, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As at the date of filing this report, the Company’s shares have not begun to be quoted on the OTCQB.
	E.	The figures in the financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars in thousands unless otherwise mentioned.

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

  A. Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  B. Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

  C. Functional currency

 

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. In accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (ASC 830), monetary balances denominated in or linked to foreign currency are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions included in the statement of operations, the exchange rates applicable on the relevant transaction dates are used. Gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items are carried as financing income or expenses.

 

The functional currency of Ocean Yetsira, Yetsira and Ocean is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) and their financial statements are included in the consolidation based on translation into US dollars. Accordingly, assets and liabilities were translated from NIS to US dollars using year-end exchange rates, and income and expense items were translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity, under “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”.

  D. Merger of entities under common control

 

The Company accounted for the exchanges of shares completed under the Yetsira Exchange and the Holdings Exchange pursuant to ASC 805-50 “Transactions between Entities under Common Control”. Accordingly, all prior financial information has been presented to reflect this transaction as a “pooling of interests” as of the earliest period presented under common control.

 

When accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. If the receiving entity issues equity interests in the exchange, the equity interests issued are recorded at an amount equal to the carrying amount of the net assets transferred, even if the fair value of the equity interests issued is reliably determinable.

 

The annual consolidated financial statements of the receiving entity shall report results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period in which common control was established. Results of operations for that period will thus comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period in which common control was established to the date the transfer is complete, and those of the combined operations from that date to the end of the period.

 

  E. Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and short-term debentures, with original periods to maturity not exceeding three months, to be cash equivalents.

  F. Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company provides for allowances for uncollectible receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. At both December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not needed.

 

  G. Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates

 

		%
Computers and equipment			33
Vehicle			15

 

When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in the statements of operations.

 

  H. Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Property and equipment subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairment losses were recorded.

 

  I. Revenue recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under the guidance, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

 

	■	Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
	■	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
	■	Determination of the transaction price;
	■	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
	■	Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

I.

(Continued)

 

Asset Management and Investments Fees (Gross): The Company earns Asset management and investment fees from its contracts with its clients. These fees are primarily earned over time on a daily basis and are generally assessed based on fixed percentage of the Assets Under Management (AUM). Other related services provided include investment banking and consulting for which the Company’s fees, which are based on a fixed fee schedule, are recognized when the services are rendered.

 

All of the Company’s revenues is from contracts with customers. Customers are invoiced at the end of the month.

 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

A contract asset is an entity’s right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer if that right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Generally, an entity will recognize a contract asset when it has fulfilled a contract obligation but must perform other obligations before being entitled to payment.

 

A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer at the earlier of (1) when the customer prepays consideration or (2) the time that the customer’s consideration is due for goods and services the entity will yet provide. Generally, an entity will recognize a contract liability when it receives a prepayment.

 

At both December 31, 2022 and 2021, contract assets and liabilities were $0.

 

  J. Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, other current assets and accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

  K. Marketable securities

 

Marketable securities represent equity investments in common stocks mutual funds. Equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity of accounting, are generally measured at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in net income.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company values its investments under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

  L. Severance pay

 

The groups liability for severance pay is calculated according to Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (“Section 14”), pursuant to which Holdings’ severance pay liability to its employees is fully discharged by monthly deposits to pension fund accounts in the employees’ names, at a rate of 8.33% of the employees’ monthly salary. Under Israeli employment law, payments in accordance with Section 14 release Holdings from any future severance payment obligations in respect of those employees. The fund is made available to the employee at the time the employer-employee relationship is terminated, regardless of the cause of termination. The severance pay liabilities and deposits under Section 14 are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds.

  M. Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.

 

The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under the Federal tax laws. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740-10-05 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely-than-not” threshold. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense.

 

  N. Concentrations of credit risks

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and restricted bank deposit. Cash and cash equivalents and the restricted bank deposit are invested mainly in USD and NIS in banks in Israel and the United States. Such funds in United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

 

The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

 

  O. Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, net of the weighted average number of treasury shares (if any).

 

Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation for a period in which a net loss is reported or if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company’s potential common shares consist of stock warrants issued to certain investors and their potential dilutive effect is considered using the treasury method.

 

The total numbers of shares related to outstanding stock warrants that have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect was 3,544,242 and 3,544,242 for both of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

  P. Legal and other contingencies

 

The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies” under which a provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company is not a party to any litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

 

  Q. Warrants

 

Warrants that were granted by the Company to investors through private placement transactions and to the Holdings stockholders under the Holdings Exchange are classified as a component of permanent equity since they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable, contingently exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of

common stock upon exercise. In addition, the warrants must require physical settlement and may not provide any guarantee of value or return. Fully vested and non-forfeitable warrants that meet these criteria are initially recorded at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured.

 

  R. Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases under the guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 842, Leases, or ASC 842, which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about certain leasing arrangements.

 

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria. Substantially all the Company’s operating leases are comprised of office space leases and substantially all its finance leases are comprised of office furniture and technology equipment.

 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed non-cancellable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early.

 

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability.

 

The Company recognized a lease liability in the amount of the present value of the lease payments, and concurrently recognized right of use assets in the same amount of the lease liability regarding a lease agreement classified as operating lease.

 

  S. Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets consist of existing customer relationships from the acquisition of Oceans (see Note 3). The Company accounts for intangible assets at their historical cost and records amortization utilizing the straight-line method based upon their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of customer relationships was determined internally by the management at 5.25-years period. Amortization expense in 2022 and 2021 amounted to $72 thousand and $74 thousand, respectively. The annual amortization for the next 3 years is expected to be in the amount of $72 thousand a year.

  T. Goodwill

 

Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over net assets acquired of Ocean. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances change that will more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performs annual impairment testing on a recurring basis in the last quarter of each year. Impairments, if any, are expensed in the year incurred. The Company did not record an impairment in 2022 and 2021.

 

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS

 

A.

On August 19, 2020, the Company entered into share purchase agreement with certain shareholders of Ocean, an Israeli corporation that provides mutual funds investment management services for several mutual funds, under which upon consummation of certain conditions the Company will purchase 7.5% of the outstanding and issued shares of Ocean for total cash consideration of NIS 300 (approximately $87) (the “Cash Consideration”).

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

 

Refers to discontinued operations

 

The Company’s liability for severance pay is calculated according to Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (“Section 14”), pursuant to which Holdings’ severance pay liability to its employees is fully discharged by monthly deposits to pension fund accounts in the employees’ names, at a rate of 8.33% of the employees’ monthly salary. Under Israeli employment law, payments in accordance with Section 14 release from any future severance payment obligations in respect of those employees. The fund is made available to the employee at the time the employer-employee relationship is terminated, regardless of the cause of termination. The severance pay liabilities and deposits under Section 14 are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds.

 

Severance pay deposit expenses under Section 14 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $10 thousand and $14 thousand, respectively.

 

NOTE 12 - TAXES ON INCOME

 

A.

Taxation under Various Laws

 

	1.	Tax rate applicable to Ocean Yetsira, Yetsira and Ocean is 23%.
	2.	Tax rates applicable to the Company:

 

The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) in December 2017, reduced the federal income tax rates from an average of 35% to a 21% flat rate, beginning in the 2018 tax year. The Tax Act also includes a provision designed to currently tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), beginning in 2018 tax year. As the Company is currently in a loss position, there was no tax effect in the current year. The Company will record the U.S. income tax effect of future GILTI inclusions in the period in which they arise, if relevant.

 

After the enactment of the Tax Act, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which provided guidance on accounting for the enactment effect of the Tax Act. SAB 118 addressed the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provided or a measurement period of up to one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete their accounting under ASC 740. During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act, which resulted in an immaterial change in the net deferred tax asset, before valuation allowance, at the enactment date.

Net operating losses carryforward

 

As of December 31, 2022, Ocean Yetsira, Yetsira and Ocean have accumulated net operating loss carryforwards for Israeli tax purposes in the amount of approximately $1,381 thousand which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company (excluding subsidiaries) has accumulated net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $196 thousand which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period. Utilization of the U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

 

C.

Income taxes on foreign subsidiaries

 

Foreign subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective country of residence. Neither Israeli income taxes, foreign withholding taxes nor deferred income taxes were provided in relation to undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. This is because the Company has the intent and ability to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the foreign subsidiaries and therefore those earnings are continually redeployed in those jurisdictions.

 

D.

Income tax expenses

 

Tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

E.

Deferred income taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

		Year Ended December 31,
		2022				2021
Deferred tax assets:
Net operation loss carryforward		$	357			$	383
Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance			357				383
Valuation allowance			(357	)			(383	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	-			$	-

 

		Year Ended December 31,
		2022				2021
Deferred tax liability:
Customer relations intangible assets		$	47			$	71
Net deferred tax liability		$	47			$	71

 

The net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are included in liabilities held for sale.

 

The Company has a valuation allowance against a majority of its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to the operating loss history of the Company. The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred taxes when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance could be reduced or eliminated based on future earnings and future estimates of taxable income.

 

F.

Reconciliation of Income Taxes

 

The main reconciling item between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate is the recognition of valuation allowances in respect to deferred taxes relating to accumulated net operating losses carried forward and temporary differences due to the uncertainty of the realization of such deferred taxes.

The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

 

Committees of the Board

 

We currently do not maintain any committees of the Board of Directors. Given our size and the development of our business to date, we believe that our directors can perform all of the duties and responsibilities which might be performed by a committee. We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert.

 

Corporate Governance Guidelines

 

The Board of Directors will adopt corporate governance guidelines that serve as a flexible framework within which our Board of Directors and its committees operate. These guidelines will cover a number of areas including the size and composition of the board, board membership criteria and director qualifications, director responsibilities, board agenda, roles of the chairman of the board and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, meetings of independent directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of senior management and management succession planning. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines will be available on our website at www.Creationsfin.com

Board of Directors Meetings and Attendance

 

We have no formal policy regarding director attendance at the annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors held [●] (●)  meetings in 2022. All Board members were present at all of the meetings .

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were required, the Company believes that during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 all Reporting Persons timely complied with all applicable filing requirements, if applicable.
