PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights certain information about us and this offering contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in shares of our securities and it is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4, and the financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” and “Creations” in this Prospectus mean Creations, Inc.., a Delaware corporation, and our subsidiaries, Ocean-Yetsira Ltd (former Yetsira Holdings), Ocean Partners Y.O.D.M Ltd. and Yetsira Investment House Ltd., where appropriate, on a consolidated basis.
Company Overview
Creations, Inc. was incorporated in May 2019. On July 1, 2019, Creations, Inc, acquired a 100% interest in Ocean-Yetsira Ltd (former- Yetsira Holdings Ltd), through a share swap agreement. Ocean Yetsira is an Israeli Corporation incorporated in December 2017 which in turn owns 100% of Yetsira Investment House (“Yetsira”), which was incorporated in November 2016.
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 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.
Following the acquisition of Ocean, all the investment management business of the group is managed through Ocean.
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.
Our continued focus is on our core business of mutual fund management, while increasing our number of managed funds and private portfolio and increasing of 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 the 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.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Ocean, we operate as a portfolio manager, licensed by the Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”). Ocean currently offers and manages nine mutual funds branded as Ocean-Yetsira funds, and 103 private portfolios with approximately $304M in assets, currently under management (“AUM”).
We generate revenue primarily from management fees paid by our unitholders or clients, which fees are based upon a certain percentage of their assets in the funds. Our expenses are mainly comprised of payments for distribution, commissions to banks, third-party platform user fees, salary commissions and expenses, and commissions to the ISA and the Israeli Stock Exchange. We conduct our business exclusively through Ocean Yetsira and exercise effective control over the operations of Ocean and Yetsira pursuant to a series of contractual arrangements, under which we are entitled to receive substantially all of its economic benefits.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These reduced reporting requirements include:
● | an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; | |
● | an exemption from compliance with any requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board may adopt regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; | |
● | an exemption from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or a stockholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements; | |
● | extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards; | |
● | being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements in this prospectus; and | |
● | reduced disclosures regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, including in this prospectus; |
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) the end of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the end of the first fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) the end of the fiscal year during which the fifth anniversary of this offering occurs. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits under the JOBS Act. We currently intend to take advantage of the exemptions discussed above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under SEC Regulation S-K. As such, we also are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and also are subject to less extensive disclosure requirements regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We will continue to be deemed a smaller reporting company until our public float exceeds $75 million on the last day of our second fiscal quarter in the preceding fiscal year.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a great deal of risk. Careful consideration should be made of the following factors as well as other information included in this prospectus before deciding to purchase our securities. There are many risks that affect our business and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed by any of these risks. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also affect our business and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Company and Business
We may not be able to continue to grow at our historical rate of growth, and if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
We commenced our business in 2016 and have experienced a period of growth in recent years. Our revenues grew at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 289% from 2020 to 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue increased by 26.03% as compared to the prior-year period. We anticipate continuing growth in the foreseeable future. However, we cannot assure you that we will grow at our historical rate of growth. Our growth has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management, personnel, systems and resources. To accommodate our growth, we may need to establish additional branch offices, including in new cities and regions where we have no previous presence, recruit, train, manage and motivate relationship managers, experienced investment professionals and other employees and manage our relationships with an increasing number of registered clients. Moreover, as we introduce new products and services or enter into new markets, we may face unfamiliar market, technological and operational risks and challenges which we may fail to successfully address. We may be unable to manage our growth effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our reputation and brand recognition is crucial to our business. Any harm to our reputation or failure to enhance our brand recognition may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our reputation and brand recognition, which depend on earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of individuals, enterprises or institutions that are current or potential clients, is critical to our business. Our reputation and brand recognition are vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. Regulatory inquiries or investigations, lawsuits initiated by clients or other third parties, employee misconduct, misconduct or allegations of misconduct by the managers of third-party funds that we distribute, perceptions of conflicts of interest and rumors, among other things, could substantially damage our reputation, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. In addition, any perception that the quality of the wealth management products we distribute or the asset management or internet financial services we provide may not be the same as or better than that of other advisory firms, product distributors or internet financial service providers can also damage our reputation. Moreover, any misconduct or allegations of misconduct by managers of third-party funds that we distribute could result in negative media publicity that could affect our reputation and erode the confidence of our clients. Furthermore, any negative media publicity about the financial service industry in general or product or service quality problems of other firms in the industry, including our competitors, may also negatively impact our reputation and brand recognition. If we are unable to maintain a good reputation or further enhance our brand recognition, our ability to attract and retain clients, wealth management product providers and key employees could be harmed and, as a result, our business and revenues would be materially and adversely affected.
The determination of the investment portfolio under asset management and the amount to be invested in certain investments is subject to management’s evaluation and judgment. Poor investment portfolio performance may lead to a decrease in AUM and reduce revenues from and the profitability of our asset management business.
The determination of the investment portfolio under asset management and the investment amount varies by investment type and is based upon our periodic evaluation and assessment of inherent and known risks associated with the respective asset class. As a majority of our revenues from our asset management business comes fees, which are typically based on a percentage of assets under management, our fees will be negatively impacted if our management’s judgment is incorrect and the investment portfolio does not generate cumulative performance that surpasses the relevant target thresholds or if a fund experiences losses. Poor investment portfolio performance, either as a result of downturns in the market or economic conditions, including but not limited to changes in interest rates, inflation, terrorism, political uncertainty, our investment style and the particular investments that we make, may result in a decline in our revenues and income by causing some or all of our funds’ rating from financial institutions, which in part is based on performance, to be negatively impacted which may result in the perceived value of such funds and therefore decrease the amount of assets under management. To the extent our future investment performance is perceived to be poor in either relative or absolute terms, the revenues and profitability of our asset management business will likely be reduced and our ability to grow existing funds and raise new funds in the future will likely be impaired.
Our sole officer and director may have conflicts of interests which may not be resolved favorably to us.
Certain conflicts of interest may exist between our sole officer and director and us. Our sole officer and director has other business interests to which he also must devote his time, resources and attention. Thus, a conflict of interest may arise in the future that may cause our business to fail, including conflicts of interest in allocating his resources, time and attention to our Company and his other business interests

The assets of two mutual funds that we currently manage comprise the substantial majority of our AUM as of June 30, 2022. In the event that these two such funds perform poorly, our revenue could decline significantly.
We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from fees generated through two mutual funds, Ocean-Yestira (2B) 20/80 and Ocean-Yetsira (2B) stock portfolio. As of June 30, 2022, these two funds accounted for approximately 53% of our AUM and 52% of our revenue. As a result of this asset concentration, our revenue could fluctuate materially and could be materially and disproportionately impacted if these funds perform poorly. If we do not diversify our AUM, we will continue to be susceptible to risks associated with asset concentration.
Some of our asset management clients may redeem their investments from time to time, which could reduce our asset management fee revenues.
If the return on the assets under our management does not meet investors’ expectations, investors may elect to redeem their investments and invest their assets elsewhere, including with our competitors. Our recurring service fee revenues correlate directly to the amount of our AUM; therefore, redemptions may cause our recurring service fee revenues to decrease. Investors may decide to reallocate their capital away from us and to other asset managers for a number of reasons, including poor relative investment performance, changes in prevailing interest rates which make other investment options more attractive, changes in investor perception regarding our focus or alignment of interest, dissatisfaction with, changes in or a broadening of a fund’s investment strategy, changes in our reputation, and departures of, or changes in responsibilities of, key investment professionals. For these and other reasons, the pace of investor redemptions and the corresponding reduction in our AUM could accelerate. In addition, redemptions could ultimately require us to liquidate assets under unfavorable circumstances, which would further harm our reputation and results of operations.
Our business is sensitive to global economic conditions. A severe or prolonged downturn in the global or Israeli economy could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any prolonged slowdown in the global or Israeli economy may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet potential liquidity needs.
Economic conditions in Israel are sensitive to global economic conditions. Since we derive the majority of our revenues from our operations in Israel, our business and prospects may be affected by economic conditions or changes in the financial markets in Israel. Our revenues ultimately depend on the appetite of high net worth individuals to invest in the products we distribute or manage, which in turn depend on their level of disposable income, perceived future earnings and willingness to invest. We may have difficulty expanding our client base fast enough, or at all, to offset the impact of decreased spending by our existing clients. Any prolonged slowdown in the global or Israel’s economy may lead to reduced investment in the products we distribute or manage, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and adverse changes in the global economy, may significantly affect our results of operations and may put pressure on our financial results.
The capital and credit markets may experience volatility and disruption worldwide. Declines in global financial market conditions may result in significant decreases in our AUM, revenues and income, and future declines may further negatively impact our financial results. Such declines may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. We may need to modify our business, strategies or operations and we may be subject to additional constraints or costs in order to compete in a changing global economy and business environment.
Our reputation could suffer if we are unable to deliver consistent, competitive investment performance.
Our business is based on the trust and confidence of our clients. Damage to our reputation, resulting from poor or inconsistent investment performance, among other factors, can reduce substantially our AUM and impair our ability to maintain or grow our business.
5 |
Maintaining adequate liquidity for our general business needs depends on certain factors, including operating cash flows and our access to credit on reasonable terms.
Our financial condition is dependent on our cash flow from operations, which is subject to the performance of the capital markets, our ability to maintain and grow AUM and other factors beyond our control. Our ability to issue public or private debt on reasonable terms may be limited by adverse market conditions, our profitability, our creditworthiness as perceived by lenders and changes in government regulations, including tax rates and interest rates. Furthermore, our access to credit on reasonable terms is partially dependent on our firm’s credit ratings.
Future changes in our credit ratings are possible and any downgrade to our ratings is likely to increase our borrowing costs and limit our access to the capital markets. If this occurs, we may be forced to incur unanticipated costs or revise our strategic plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.
We may be unable to continue to attract, motivate and retain key personnel, and the cost to retain key personnel could put pressure on our adjusted operating margin.
Our business depends on our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled, and often highly specialized, technical, investment, managerial and executive personnel and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.
The market for these professionals is extremely competitive and is characterized by their frequent movement among different firms. Also, they often maintain strong, personal relationships with investors in our products and other members of the business community so their departure may cause us to lose client accounts or result in fewer opportunities to win new business, either of which factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and business prospects.
Additionally, a decline in revenues may limit our ability to pay our employees at competitive levels, and maintaining (or increasing) compensation without a revenue increase, in order to retain key personnel, may adversely affect our adjusted operating margin. As a result, we remain vigilant about aligning our cost structure (including headcount) with our revenue base.
We may engage in strategic transactions that could pose risks.
As part of our business strategy, we consider potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations, joint ventures and similar transactions, some of which may be material. These transactions, if undertaken, may involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:
● | adverse effects on our earnings if acquired intangible assets or goodwill become impaired; |
● | existence of unknown liabilities or contingencies that arise after closing; and |
● | potential disputes with counterparties. |
Acquisitions also pose the risk that any business we acquire may lose customers or employees or could underperform relative to expectations. Additionally, the loss of investment personnel poses the risk that we may lose the AUM we expected to manage, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, strategic transactions may require us to increase our leverage or, if we issue capital stock to fund an acquisition, would dilute the holdings of our existing shareholders.
We may not accurately value the securities we hold on behalf of our clients or our company investments.
In accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, contractual obligations or client direction, we employ procedures for the pricing and valuation of securities and other positions held in client accounts or for company investments. Extraordinary volatility in financial markets, significant liquidity constraints or our failure to adequately consider one or more factors when determining the fair value of a security based on information with limited market observability could result in our failing to properly value securities we hold for our clients or investments accounted for on our balance sheet. Improper valuation likely would result in our basing fee calculations on inaccurate AUM figures, our striking incorrect net asset values for company-sponsored mutual funds or hedge funds or, in the case of company investments, our inaccurately calculating and reporting our financial condition and operating results. Although the overall percentage of our AUM that we fair value based on information with limited market observability is not significant, inaccurate fair value determinations can harm our clients, create regulatory issues and damage our reputation.

The quantitative models we use in certain of our investment services may contain errors, resulting in imprecise risk assessments and unintended output.
We use quantitative models in a variety of our investment services, generally in combination with fundamental research. These models are developed by senior quantitative professionals and typically are implemented by IT professionals. However, due to the complexity and large data dependency of such models, it is possible that errors in the models could exist and our controls could fail to detect such errors. Failure to detect errors could result in client losses and reputational damage.
Unpredictable events, including natural disaster, dangerous weather conditions, technology failure, terrorist attack and political unrest, may adversely affect our ability to conduct business.
War, terrorist attack, political unrest, power failure, climate change, natural disaster and rapid spread of infectious diseases could interrupt our operations by:
● | causing disruptions in global economic conditions, thereby decreasing investor confidence and making investment products generally less attractive; |
● | inflicting loss of life; |
● | triggering large-scale technology failures or delays; and |
● | requiring substantial capital expenditures and operating expenses to remediate damage and restore operations. |
Despite the contingency plans and facilities we have in place, including system security measures, information back-up and disaster recovery processes, our ability to conduct business may be adversely affected by a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our operations and the communities in which they are located. This may include a disruption involving electrical, communications, transportation or other services we may use or third parties with which we conduct business. If a disruption occurs in one location and our employees in that location are unable to occupy our offices or communicate with or travel to other locations, our ability to conduct business with and on behalf of our clients may suffer, and we may not be able to successfully implement contingency plans that depend on communication or travel. Furthermore, unauthorized access to our systems as a result of a security breach, the failure of our systems, or the loss of data could give rise to legal proceedings or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personal information, disrupt operations, and damage our reputation.
Our operations require experienced, professional staff. Loss of a substantial number of such persons or an inability to provide properly equipped places for them to work may, by disrupting our operations, adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. In addition, our property and business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses, failures or breaches that may occur.
The COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other incidents that interrupt the expected course of events, may affect the market value of our AUM.
Health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other incidents that interrupt the expected course of events, may affect the market value of our AUM. Furthermore, the preventative and protective health-related actions, such as business activity suspensions and population lock-downs, that governments have taken, and will continue to take, in response to COVID-19 have resulted, and may continue to result, in periods of business interruption, a general slowdown of the economy and increased market volatility. These circumstances have caused, and may continue to cause, significant economic disruption and very high levels of unemployment, which are likely to adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of many of the companies in which we invest, and likely reduce the market value of their securities and thus our AUM and revenues. Furthermore, the significant market volatility and uncertainty, and reductions in the availability of margin financing, may make it more difficult to sell these securities at prices reflecting their true economic value. Lack of liquidity makes it more difficult for our funds to meet redemption requests. If liquidity in the financial markets were to worsen, this may have a significant adverse effect on our AUM, revenues and net income.
Technology failures and disruptions, including failures to properly safeguard confidential information, can significantly constrain our operations and result in significant time and expense to remediate, which could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and business prospects.
We are highly dependent on software and related technologies throughout our business, including both proprietary systems and those provided by third-party vendors. We use our technology to, among other things, obtain securities pricing information, process client transactions, store and maintain data, and provide reports and other services to our clients. Despite our protective measures, including measures designed to effectively secure information through system security technology and established and tested business continuity plans, we may still experience system delays and interruptions as a result of natural disasters, hardware failures, software defects, power outages, acts of war and third-party failures. We cannot predict with certainty all of the adverse effects that could result from our failure, or the failure of a third party, to efficiently address and resolve these delays and interruptions. These adverse effects could include the inability to perform critical business functions or failure to comply with financial reporting and other regulatory requirements, which could lead to loss of client confidence, reputational damage, exposure to disciplinary action and liability to our clients.
7 |
Many of the software applications that we use in our business are licensed from, and supported, upgraded and maintained by, third-party vendors. A suspension or termination of certain of these licenses or the related support, upgrades and maintenance could cause temporary system delays or interruption. Additionally, technology rapidly evolves and we cannot guarantee that our competitors may not implement more advanced technology platforms for their products and services, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage and adversely affect our results of operations and business prospects.
Also, we could be subject to losses if we fail to properly safeguard sensitive and confidential information. As part of our normal operations, we maintain and transmit confidential information about our clients as well as proprietary information relating to our business operations. Although we take protective measures, our systems still could be vulnerable to cyber attack or other forms of unauthorized access (including computer viruses) that have a security impact, such as an authorized employee or vendor inadvertently or intentionally causing us to release confidential or proprietary information. Such disclosure could, among other things, allow competitors access to our proprietary business information and require significant time and expense to investigate and remediate the breach. Moreover, loss of confidential client information could harm our reputation and subject us to liability under laws that protect confidential personal data, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenues.
Any significant security breach of our information and cyber security infrastructure may significantly harm our operations and reputation.
It is critical that we ensure the continuity and effectiveness of our information and cyber security infrastructure, policies, procedures and capabilities to protect our computer and telecommunications systems and the data that reside on or are transmitted through them and contracted third-party systems. Although we take protective measures, including measures to effectively secure information through system security technology, our technology systems may still be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other events that have a security impact, such as an external attack by one or more cyber criminals (including phishing attacks attempting to obtain confidential information and ransomware attacks attempting to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid), which could materially harm our operations and reputation. Additionally, while we take precautions to password protect and encrypt our laptops and sensitive information on our other mobile electronic devices, if such devices are stolen, misplaced or left unattended, they may become vulnerable to hacking or other unauthorized use, creating a possible security risk and resulting in potentially costly actions by us.
The capital markets industry is intensely competitive.
The capital market in Israel is characterized by extensive competition with several participants. Among our competitors are entities with significant organizational and marketing resources, such as insurance companies that operate lines of business that compete with the Company’s business. We face major competitors that invest significant resources in reaching the general public and potential customers. The Company believes that the ability to increase the customer base may be affected by the advantage of size.
Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain and/or continue to improve our investment performance, our client flows may be adversely affected, which may make it more difficult for us to compete effectively.
Risks Related to this Offering and the Ownership of Our Securities
Currently, there is no public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any public market will ever develop.
Currently, our common stock is not listed or quoted on any public market, exchange, or quotation system. Although we are taking steps to have our common stock publicly traded, a market for our common stock may never develop. We currently plan to apply for quotation of our common stock on the OTCQB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, our shares may never be quoted on the OTCQB, or, if traded, a public market may not materialize. Even if we are successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable stockholders to sell their stock. If our common stock is not quoted on the OTCQB or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased, rendering their shares effectively worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment.
8 |
We are planning to identify a market maker to file an application with the OTCQB on our behalf so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCQB maintained by the OTC Markets commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. There can be no assurance as to whether such market maker’s application will be accepted. We are not permitted to file such application on our own behalf. If the application is accepted, there can be no assurances as to whether any market for our shares will develop or the prices at which our common stock will trade. If the application is accepted, we cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.
In addition, our common stock is initially unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for the common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of our company, and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
We do not intend to have the warrants quoted or listed on any exchange or market. Accordingly, any value that the Selling Stockholder derive from the warrants will be based on any appreciation of the stock price.
Shares that are eligible for future sale
Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market following this offering could adversely affect the market price of such shares. Upon the consummation of this offering, and assuming no exercise of the outstanding warrants, the Company will have 1,558,639 shares of common stock outstanding, of which the 1,245,309 shares of common stock offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. All of the remaining 313,330 shares of common stock outstanding are “restricted securities,” as that term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and in the future may only be sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, in compliance with the exemption revisions of Rule 144 (including, without limitation, certain volume limitations and holding period requirements thereof) or pursuant to another exemption under the Securities Act.
Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock”, and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.
Our common stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” if it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our common stock may be a “penny stock” if it meets one or more of the following conditions: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or (iii) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million. In addition to the exclusion based on issuer net tangible assets, Rule 3a51-1includes an alternative exclusion for the securities of an issuer with average revenues of $6 million for the past three years (i.e., revenues of at least $18 million by the end of the three-year period).
The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

The requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other U.S. securities laws impose substantial costs, and may drain our resources and distract our management.
We are subject to certain of the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the U.S., as well as the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, filing of annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and periodic reports on Form 8-K following the happening of certain material events, with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Our existing controls have some weaknesses, as described below. Meeting the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may strain our resources and may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, both of which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock and warrants.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital.
Our compliance with complicated U.S. regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure is expensive. Moreover, our ability to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations is uncertain.
As a publicly reporting company, we are faced with expensive and complicated and evolving disclosure, governance and compliance laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act. New or changing laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards of a U.S. public company are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our shares.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock or warrants adversely, the price of our common stock or warrants and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock or warrants may be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our common stock or warrants adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our common stock or warrants would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the price of our common stock or warrants or trading volume to decline.

You should read this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended) and the documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Because the risk factors referred to on page 4 of this prospectus, and incorporated herein by reference, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this prospectus, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.
Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. We would receive an aggregate of $1,558,639 if all of the warrants are exercised.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders, and those Warrant Shares issuable to the Selling Stockholders, upon exercise of the warrants. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years, except for as described elsewhere in this registration statement.
The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and Warrant Shares, as of September 13, 2022, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders.
11 |
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or, to the extent indicated in a Selling Stockholder’s footnote to the table below, 9.99%, of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Selling Stockholders will sell our shares at a fixed price of $1.50 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCQB, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. This price was arbitrarily determined by us.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
No Public Market for Common Stock
There is presently no public market for our common stock. We anticipate applying for quotation of our common stock on the OTCQB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be quoted on the OTCQB or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.
Holders of Common Stock
As of the date of this registration statement, we have 35 stockholders of record.
Rule 144 Shares
A total of 313,330 shares of our common stock will become available for resale to the public after one year from the date the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, subject to the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company’s common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
● | 1% of the number of shares of the company’s common stock then outstanding which, in our case, will equal 22,897 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or |
● | the average weekly trading volume of the company’s common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. |
Such sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of Rule 144 at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner who was not an affiliate, is entitled to sell those shares in the public market without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitations or notice provisions of Rule 144, but subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner who was not an affiliate, then such person is entitled to sell such shares in the public market without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144 (subject to the lock-up agreement referred to above, if applicable).
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold 313,330 of the 313,330 shares described above.
Dividends and Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and intend, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by our Board of Directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We currently have no securities authorized for issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of Creations, Inc. together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, including, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus 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.
Forward Looking Statements

Although we do not have a dependence on one or a few major customers, we derive a substantial majority of our revenue from fees through two mutual funds, Yetsira (2B) 20/80 and Yetsira (2B) 30/70. As of June 30, 2020, these two funds accounted for approximately 75.8% of our AUM and 72% of our revenue.
Through our subsidiary, Yetsira, we generate revenue primarily from management fees paid by our unitholders. These fees are based upon a certain percentage of the unitholders’ assets held in the funds. The expenses of Yetsira are mainly comprised of the payment of distribution commissions to banks, hosting fees to Ayalon, salary expenses and commissions to ISA and the Israeli Stock Exchange. Our other source of revenue includes fees from our private portfolio. As of June 30, 2020, we managed seven (7) separate private portfolios, which we buy for them our funds and do not take additional management fees beyond what was collected through the fund. This source of revenue is minor as total AUM for our private portfolios is $1,048,526, 62% of which are invested in our funds and 38% in other investments. For these investments, we collect yearly management fees of approximately $1,563.
The nature of The Israeli mutual fund market is one in which the fund manager is not in direct contact with its end investor but rather with an advisor from the bank who function in fact as a mediator through the bank ranking systems. Due to that fact and in order to create a tool for both the banking system and private end investors, the ISE (Israeli stock exchange) along with the ISA created a table of exposures to distinguish between the actual activity of the funds.
19 |
The basic charts distinguish between the exposure of the fund to equity and currency by the public prospectus. The exposure level is in six ranks as follow:
Equity (including commodity) | Currency (all currency but NIS) | |||
0 | no exposure | 0 | no exposure | |
1 | Up to 10% | A | Up to 10% | |
2 | Up to 30% | B | Up to 30% | |
3 | Up to 50% | C | Up to 50% | |
4 | Up to 120% - up to 20% leverage | D | Up to 120% - up to 20% leverage | |
5 | Up to 200% - up to 100% leverage | E | Up to 200% - up to 100% leverage | |
6 | Over 200% - over 100% leverage | F | Over 200% - over 100% leverage |
When a fund is launched, the fund manager declares initially on the exposure levels and then in the fund prospectus he specifies the funds limitations, goals and benchmark indexes. According to a list of affiliation for categories published by the ISA, the fund manager can classify the fund in a particular category if exposures and limitations in the prospectus are in line for the selected category.
On January 17, 2017, the Company signed a hosting agreement with Ayalon Mutual Funds Ltd (the “Hosting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Hosting Agreement, Ayalon is the manager of the mutual funds and Yetsira is an external investment manager. All six mutual funds were initiated under the Hosting Agreement with Ayalon Mutual Funds.
As shown in the table above, the Company initiated three managed funds, Yetsira (2B) 20/80, Yetsira (2B) 30/70, and Yetsira (4D) FLEX, in March 2017, all in different categories. After initial investments from investors through their individual brokerage accounts, most of which were generated through financial institutions with the assistance of financials advisors, we were able to position each of these funds in the top 10 in the Israeli mutual fund market in terms of performance return. In addition, these funds received top ratings from banks in Israel. As a result of our success with the three initial funds, in September 2018, we initiated an additional two funds. From the inception of the initial funds in 2017, the Company has demonstrated what it believes is a high growth on total AUM, growing AUM from $13.6 million AUM to $57.15 AUM, an increase of over 300%.
Importantly, these five funds are still in the process of maturation. Management believes that it generally takes three years for a fund to reach full maturation. Since not all of the funds are yet at the three year full maturation point, the Company currently is restricted from accessing approximately 50% of the mutual funds market held by the banks. The three funds that were initiated in March 2017 have just reached full maturation, we will now be able to address 100% of the market with these funds, which we believe can create significant growth for the Company.
Our Business
Through our subsidiary, Yetsira, we generate revenue primarily from management fees paid by our unitholders. These fees are based upon a certain percentage of the unitholders’ assets held in the funds. The expenses of Yetsira are mainly comprised of the payment of distribution commissions to banks, hosting fees to Ayalon, salary expenses and commissions to ISA and the Israeli Stock Exchange. Our other source of revenue includes fees from our private portfolio. As of March 31, 2020, we managed eight (7) separate private portfolios, which we buy for them our funds and do not take additional management fees beyond what was collected through the fund. This source of revenue is minor as total AUM for our private portfolios is $725,750, 62% of which is invested in our funds and 38% in other investments. For these investments, we collect yearly management fees of approximately $1,830.
As a portfolio manager of mutual funds, banks play a crucial role in our success. The bank’s investor consultant departments materially affect the fund-raising rate and redemptions in the mutual fund sector. The bank departments rely on an internal rating system, which is based on the results of the fund relative to risk. Some banks use a rating system based on a one year period of results while other systems use a three year period. Funds that are measured over the three year period generally receive a higher rating than when measured over a one year period. Our funds have received high ratings for the one year period but have not yet reached the full maturation for banks to measure the funds over three years and therefore receive a potential higher rating. When our initial funds do reach full maturation, we believe that we will be well positioned and expect our funds to receive the higher rating. In addition, in the past two years, the internal rating systems used by banks underwent a significant change: they began examining the results of the funds measured over a longer period for rating recommendations. We believe this has expanded the barrier to entry in this industry.
Due to expected imminent fintech related regulatory change, we also believe Yetsira is well positioned to take advantage of an opportunity that can create significant growth. The ISA has indicated that it is planning to open the antiquated private portfolio management market to a fintech based competitive platform. This could result in approximately $50 billion of potential market opportunity being created where we believe a re-distribution may occur from the removal of minimum funding requirements and allowing quick and easy movement between funds. The potential effect is that all investment houses will be treated equally, with size and brand of the company mattering less. The process is seamless and costless. This means that every one percent movement has the potential to translate into $4 million of additional income.
In 2018, the ISA took a couple of steps toward making this change a reality. For example, the obligation to physically meet with a client for “Customer Characterization” or for opening a non-bank brokerage account was removed and allowed via web platforms. On July 23, 2018, the ISA announced the establishment of an innovation hub, a sandbox and an accompanying regulatory framework. On January 31, 2019, the ISA announced the launch of an international network of 29 regulators in various countries, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The goal of the ISA is to enable an international sandbox and enable companies to test innovative products, services or business models in several parallel jurisdictions.

Yetsira has the license to operate in this industry and, due to the changes outlined above, we believe Yetsira is well positioned to combine technological means and become a significant player in a new way of investing in Israel. Our team is comprised of experienced managers in the field of Israeli capital markets. We believe there is currently a “home bias” atmosphere that exists in most of the investment managers in Israel, while our employees and investment managers have unique expertise in the U.S. capital markets.
Furthermore, management believes that most large investment houses are bureaucratic and connected to large insurance companies, which can cause them to not respond as quickly to the changing industry. We believe this separates us from our competition and provides a potential game-changing opportunity for Yetsira.
Mutual Funds
A mutual fund is an investment instrument that has a number of potential advantages from other instruments. These advantages include tax advantages and investment diversification. To establish a mutual fund, an agreement between a fund manager and a trustee is made, according to which the fund manager is responsible for managing the fund’s investments while the trustee holds its assets in trust for unitholders. Pursuant to the Hosting Agreement, Yetsira operates as the external manager to the funds, while Ayalon Mutual Funds LTD acts as the fund manager and Union Bank of Israel acts as the trustee.
The amount that the fund manager is entitled to receive in management fees and the maximum wage that a trustee is entitled to receive as trustee, as well as other technical provisions, is typically determined by a fund agreement and the fund’s investment policy. Each mutual fund has an investment policy to which the fund manager is committed to when he or she purchases securities for the fund. The participation units in the mutual funds are purchased and redeemed through the members of the Israeli stock exchange, mainly banks and mainly by the bank investors’ consultant departments for their clients. The end holders of the mutual fund units purchase the participation units through the members of the Israeli stock exchange in which their accounts are managed, and their identity, for the most part, is not known to the fund.
As of March 31, 2020, the managed mutual funds market in Israel was $53.01 billion AUM, with approximately $476 million in annual income. Banks are interested in their customers purchasing mutual funds due to the commission the banks receive from the fund manager. The basic engine for choosing a fund by the banks is heavily reliant on the rating of the fund created by an algorithm linked to the past performance of the fund relative to risk.
Private Portfolio Management
Private portfolio management is the management of securities by licensed portfolio managers through a power of attorney to execute transactions in the brokerage accounts of the client. Portfolio management is provided to private customers, business corporations (including local authorities, kibbutzim, non-profit organizations and provident funds). We estimate that there is currently $50 billion in potential market AUM.
As of June 30, 2020, the number of companies with a portfolio management license in Israel was 126 companies, 74 of which operate only in the private portfolio management sector. The number of companies with a fund manager license was 19, and 33 companies operate pursuant to a hosting agreement as Yetsira does. There are also 52 licensed companies that operate in the Israeli mutual fund area that manage a total of approximately $86.19 billion, including approximately $9.02 billion in deposit funds, $24.15 billion in Israeli ETF funds& index funds, and $53.14 billion in managed funds.
Establishing New Funds
Our continued focus is on our core business of mutual fund management, while increasing our number of managed funds. The yearly fixed cost of each fund is approximately $35,000 which does not include bank distribution fees that are 0.35% yearly of fund AUM. Due to our zero fee special for the first year of each new fund, this expense is estimated at $14,000 (depends on the fund’s first year growth rate), each fund maturation periods are from 1-3 years due to the bank rating systems. On December 18, 2019, we initiated a new fund with a zero-fee special for 2020. 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 to the investment advisors in the banks, which constitute the main channel for funds distribution. We also plan to increase public relations activities and advertising and started to work with a P.R agency that is well known in the Israeli financial markets and have a close connection with the Israeli financial newspapers and web-sites, this expense is approximately $28,000 yearly. Advertisement costs are varying from $3,500 to $15,000 per month depending on the popularity of the financial web site or newspaper to the location and time the advertisement will appears. The yearly budget for this advertisement campaign is approximately $35,000 and will be used to strengthen recruitment momentum. Furthermore, in 2020, we expect to examine possibilities for integrating technological means in our services, mainly the private portfolio management service- due to the changes in the “Advisory law” In Israel so the recruitment process of private investment portfolio client could be made fully on line. We also continue to examine the expansion of our areas of activity, through cooperation, locating synergetic opportunities for the existing areas of activity and establishing additional parallel investment instruments, etc.

Government Regulations
In Israel, the portfolio management and investment marketing industry is regulated by “Advisory Law” and the regulations that have been installed under it. According to the Advisory Law, portfolio management must be done in a corporation that has received a license to engage in portfolio management from the ISA, which also requires that employees of the corporation hold such a license. Obtaining a license from the ISA requires passing professional exams and an internship period. In addition, in fulfilling its obligations under the Advisory Law a licensee is subject to supervision by the ISA.
On January 11, 2017, the Yetsira Investment House received an investment portfolio manager license from the ISA. The license number is 772. The industry is characterized by significant regulation mainly by the ISA. Furthermore, since the major distributors of mutual funds to the general public are the banks investor consultant department, there is exposure to regulatory changes on behalf of the Bank of Israel.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of our company. 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 the sole director 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.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. The interim financial statements do not include a full disclosure as required in annual financial statements and should be read with the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 from which the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position dated was derived. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The accounting policies implemented in the interim financial statements is consistent with the accounting policies implemented in the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2021, except of the following accounting pronouncement adopted by the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, not yet adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued 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)” (“ASU 2020-06”), which is intended to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. For convertible instruments, ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stocks, and enhances information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance on the basis of feedback from financial statement users. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods in those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023 (effective January 1, 2024) for smaller reporting companies. The Company is determining the adoption of this new accounting guidance and the effect on its consolidated financial statements throughout the period until implementation.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”), which significantly changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under ASU 2016-13 credit impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses, rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset. The impairment allowance is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Once the new pronouncement is adopted by the Company, the allowance for credit losses must be adjusted for management’s current estimate at each reporting date. The new guidance provides no threshold for recognition of impairment allowance. Therefore, entities must also measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. For instance, trade receivables that are either current or not yet due may not require an allowance reserve under currently generally accepted accounting principles, but under the new standard, the Company will have to estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables under ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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. | 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. |
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.
E. | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets consist of existing customer relationships from the acquisition of Ocean in August and September 2020 for the cost amount of $364. 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 expenses for both of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $18 thousand. Amortization expense for both of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 amounted to $35 thousand. Impairments, if any, are based on excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. There was no impairment charge for the June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
F. | Goodwill |
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill amount of $577 on June 30, 2022 and $649 on December 31, 2021 relates to the acquisition of Ocean. The difference of the amounts for these dates is due to foreign currency adjustments only.
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances occur that more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
G. | Earnings (Loss) per Share |
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. There were no dilutive securities for any periods presented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Creations Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Creations Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “Financial Statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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. (previously called Yestsira Holdings Ltd. (until April 28, 2021)) (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). | ||
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 of the shares of Ocean for a total equity consideration which represents 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. | shares of common stock of the Company. | |
2. | 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 -years at an exercise price of $ 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. | Beginning in early 2020, there has been an outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), initially in China and which has spread to other jurisdictions, including locations in which the Company operates. The full extent of the outbreak, related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread are uncertain as of the signing date of these financial statements as this continues to evolve globally although many countries around the world started actively vaccinating population which gradually reduces infection and mortality by the pandemic. | |
As a result, similarly to other companies in the capital market industry, the Company’s assets under management (AUM) declined in the beginning of the outbreak. In the second half of 2020 and in 2021, the results were significantly improving due to governments and central banks actions to support the economies and due to superior investments results in our products which resulted in accelerated growth in AUM. The Company’s management continues to follow the publications and guidelines on the matter. Nevertheless, future outcomes of the pandemic are uncertain and could be different than the Company’s estimations. |

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, 2021 and 2020, 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
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, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020.
K. Markertable securities
Marketable securities represent equity investments in common stocks mutual funds. Equity investments in unconsolidated entites, 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, 2021 and 2020, 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.)
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 and for both of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
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, 2021 and 2020, 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 (see also Notes 12B5 and 12B6) 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 2021 and 2020 amounted to $74 thousand and $19 thousand, respectively. The annual amortization for the next 4 years is expected to be in the amount of $74 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 2021 and 2020.
U. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Adopted
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”) which reduces the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of U.S. GAAP. Most amendments within ASU 2019-12 are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
V. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted.
In August 2020, the FASB issued 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)” (“ASU 2020-06”). This guidance simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The amendments to this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 and the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016- 13”), which significantly changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under ASU 2016-13 credit impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses, rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset. The impairment allowance is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Once the new pronouncement is adopted by the Company, the allowance for credit losses must be adjusted for management’s current estimate at each reporting date. The new guidance provides no threshold for recognition of impairment allowance. Therefore, entities must also measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. For instance, trade receivables that are either current or not yet due may not require an allowance reserve under currently generally accepted accounting principles, but under the new standard, the Company will have to estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables under ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies (January 1, 2023 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company will evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in a future period closer to the date of adoption.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

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”). |
The Company consummated the aforesaid acquisition at August 19, 2020 (the “Closing Date”).
B. | On September 7, 2020, the Company 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 consummation of certain conditions the Company will purchase the remaining % of the shares of Ocean for a total equity consideration which represents % 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. | shares of common stock of the Company; | |
2. | 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 $ per share, with the price per share subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. |
The Company consummated the aforesaid acquisition at September 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date”).
In addition, the Company incurred acquisition related costs totaling $32 thousands, which are included in other expenses. Acquisition related costs include banking, legal and accounting fees, as well as other external costs directly related to the acquisition.
The acquisition implements the Company’s vision of becoming a leading investment company in Israel and delivering high quality management and value to its clients and shareholders. By combining the two businesses, 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 privet clients with 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 brought a more diversified ability to the Company’s investment managers team and additional experience of the marketing capabilities that can be used to advance the Company forward.
Under business combination accounting principles, the total purchase price which including the Cash Consideration and Equity Consideration, was allocated to Ocean’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable primarily to the strategic opportunities aforementioned. The related goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.
The allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
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, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $14 thousand and $10 thousand, respectively.
NOTE 13 - 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.

B. Net operating losses carryforward
As of December 31, 2021, Ocean Yetsira, Yetsira and Ocean have accumulated net operating loss carryforwards for Israeli tax purposes in the amount of approximately $765 thousand which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company (excluding subsidiaries) has accumulated net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $50 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.

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, | ||||||||
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operation loss carryforward | $ | 186 | $ | 345 | ||||

Deferred tax liability: | ||||||||
Customer relations intangible assets | $ | 71 | $ | 86 | ||||
Net deferred tax liability | $ | 71 | $ | 86 |
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.

Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:
● | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; | |
● | any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
● | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or | |
● | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his, her or its actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him, her or it under Delaware law.
We believe that these provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors, officers or employees as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer or employee.

II-2 |
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
