In addition, as of September 30, 2021, the Company granted All Weather shareholders with an additional loan in the sum of approximately $776,000, to be provided in advance to a transaction between the parties pursuant to which the VIE structure described above shall be replaced by an equity structure for the purchase by MICT of such equity interests in All Weather on such commercial and other terms to be agreed by the parties.

On August 23, 2021, Beijing Yibao, Guangxi Zhongtong, and two shareholders of Guangxi Zhongtong entered into a capital increase agreement, pursuant to which Beijing Yibao will invest approximately RMB30 million (USD 4.7 million) into Guangxi Zhongtong. On October 21, 2021, Yibao transferred such funds and the transaction closed. As a result of the transaction, Beijing Yiabo now holds a sixty percent (60%) equity interest in Guangxi Zhongtong and is the controlling shareholder. As a condition of the closing, the previous agreements consummated on January 1, 2021 per the GZ Frame Work Loan became null and void.

From January through September 2021, Shenzhen Bokefa Technology Co., Ltd (“Shenzhen Bokefa”) and Tianjin Dibao Technology Co., Ltd (“Tianjin Dibao”) were established under BI Intermediate as holding companies to further develop the Company’s business in China.

Our current business, following the completion of the acquisition of GFHI, is primarily comprised and focused on the growth and development of the GFHI financial technology offering and the marketplace in China. We are in the process of building various platforms for business opportunities in different verticals and technology segments in order to capitalize on such technology and business.


As a result of our acquisition of GFHI and the subsequent work we have undertaken with the management of GFHI, we are positioned to establish ourselves, through our operating subsidiaries, to serve the markets as a financial technology company with a significant Chinese marketplace. We plan to expand on a global level as we continue to scale our business. GFHI has built various platforms to capitalize on business opportunities in a range of verticals and technology segments, which currently include stock trading and wealth management, commodities in segments of oil and gas trading and insurance brokerage. We are seeking to secure material contracts in all of these market segments in China while also developing opportunities in order to allow GFHI access to these markets. We will continue to increase the capabilities of our platforms through acquisition and/or licensing different technologies to support our efforts. By building secure, reliable and scalable platforms with high volume processing capability, we intend to provide customized solutions that address the needs of a highly diverse and broad client base.

We implemented our plans by capitalizing on Intermediate’s experience with local markets in China, as well as with the Company’s operating subsidiaries, which have begun to secure material contracts in fast growing market segments in China.

Our current opportunities have given us access the following market segments:

Stock trading and wealth management segment;

Commodities in the field of Oil and gas trading segment; and

Insurance brokerage segment

These opportunities will continue to be realized and executed through our business development efforts, which include the acquisition of potential target entities, business and assets (such as applicable required licenses) in the relevant business space and segments in which we plan to operate. This allows the Company to enter into the market quickly and leverage existing assets in order to promote our growth strategy.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows, as applicable, have been made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s December 31, 2020 annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2021.  

The Company’s operations and business may still be subject to adverse effect due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the spread of COVID-19 throughout North America, Israel, China and the world. Although currently the COVID-19 (due to the measures implemented to reduce the spread of the virus) have not had a material adverse effect on the Company consolidated financial reports; there can be no assurance that Company’s financial reports will not be affected in the future from COVID-19 or resulting from restrictions and other government actions.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. GAAP.

Cash

Cash consists of cash on hand, demand deposits and time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and have original maturities of less than three months.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers. Accounts are considered overdue after thirty (30) days from payment due date. In establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers historical collection experience, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry trend analysis, and the credit history and financial conditions of the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to nil and approximately $5,000, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories consisting of raw materials are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or realizable value. Cost of work in process is comprised of direct materials, direct production costs and an allocation of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Companies in China conducts their businesses in the local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. The Companies in Israel conducts their businesses in the local currency, New Israeli Shekel (NIS), as its functional currency. The Companies in Hong Kong conducts their businesses in the local currency, Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), as its functional currency.

Assets and liabilities are translated at the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB , NIS and HKD as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the end of the period. The statement of income accounts are translated at the average translation rates and the equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.


Segment reporting

Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), which is comprised of certain members of the Company’s management team.

Operating leases

The Company follows ASC No. 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.

ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.

The Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The operating lease is included in right-of-use assets and lease liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Investments

The Company’s long-term investments consist of equity investments in privately held entities accounted for using the measurement alternative and equity investments accounted for using the equity method. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. According to the guidance, the Company accounts for the equity investments at fair value, with gains and losses recorded through net earnings. The Company elected to measure certain equity investments without readily determinable fair value at cost, less impairments, plus or minus observable price changes and assess for impairment quarterly.

The Company accounts for its equity investment over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, using the equity method. The Company adjusts the carrying amount of the investment and recognizes investment income or loss for its share of the earnings or loss of the investee after the date of investment. The Company assesses its equity investment for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, operating performance of the entity, including current earnings trends and undiscounted cash flows, and other entity-specific information. The fair value determination, particularly for investments in a privately held entity, requires judgment to determine appropriate estimates and assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could affect the calculation of the fair value of the investment and determination of whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned 36.95% of shares in Micronet which was accounted for under equity method.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned 24% of the shares in Beijing Fucheng and controlled the remaining 76% through contractual arrangements as discussed in Note 1. Beijing Fucheng was therefore 100% consolidated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


Fair value measurement

The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.

The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

Intangible assets

The Company’s intangible assets with definite useful lives primarily consist of licensed software, capitalized development costs, platform system, and land-use rights. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment. The Company typically amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or the estimated useful lives. The Company did not record any impairment of intangible assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Useful Life
Licensed & softwareindefinite useful life
Technology know-how6 years
Trade name/ trademarks5 years
Customer relationship5 years

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition of a business. We test goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below its carrying value. On January 26, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring a goodwill impairment to be measured using a single step impairment model, whereby the impairment equals the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the specified reporting units in their entirety. This eliminated the second step of the previous impairment model that required companies to first estimate the fair value of all assets in a reporting unit and measure impairments based on those estimated fair values and a residual measurement approach. It also specifies that any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date hereofof the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of plant and equipment and intangible assets, capitalized development costs, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, allowance for deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We recognize revenue which represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in such exchange. We identify contractual performance obligations and determines whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services are provided to customers.

We use a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires us to (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

We derive our revenues from sales contracts with our customers with revenues being recognized upon performance of services. Our contracts with customers generally do not include a general right of return relative to the delivered products or services. We applied practical expedient when sales taxes were collected from customers, meaning sales tax is recorded net of revenue, instead of cost of revenue, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are excluded from the transaction price.

With respect to Micronet applicable revenue recognition U.S. GAAP requirements, Micronet implements a revenue recognition policy pursuant to which it recognizes its revenues at the Acquisitionamount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products are transferred to its customers. There is limited discretion needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the products to the agreed location has occurred, Micronet no longer has physical possession of the product and will be entitled at such time to receive payment while relieved from the significant risks and rewards of the goods delivered. For most of Micronet’s products sales, control transfers when products are shipped.

The Company’s revenues are generated from: a) providing customers with marketing promotion and information drainage services, which is to charge information service fees according to the customer traffic information provided to customers with business needs; b) to providing insurance brokerage services or insurance agency services on behalf of insurance carriers. With respect to the information drainage services and insurance brokerage services applicable to revenue recognition U.S. GAAP requirements, the company issuedimplements a revenue recognition policy pursuant to GFH 22,727,272which it recognizes its revenues at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products are transferred to its customers. Our performance obligation to the insurance carrier is satisfied and commission revenue is recognized at the point in time when an insurance policy becomes effective. The Company provides customers with information drainage services and settles service charges with customers on the monthly basis. Performance obligation is satisfied overtime during the contract term.

In accordance with ASC 606-10-55, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Company considers several factors in determining whether it acts as the principal or as an agent in the arrangement of merchandise sales and provision of various related services and thus whether it is appropriate to record the revenues and the related cost of sales on a gross basis or record the net amount earned as service fees. For insurance brokerage services, we have identified our promise to sell insurance policies on behalf of the insurance carriers as the performance obligation in our contracts with the insurance carriers.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, when it’s more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

The Company applied FASB ASC Topic 740-10-25, “Income Taxes,” which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions and prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy on classification of all interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense.

MICT and its subsidiaries and VIEs within the jurisdiction of the United States, Israel and China are subject to a tax examination for the most recent three, four and five years, respectively.


Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation granted to the Company’s employees and consultants are measured at fair value on grant date and stock-based compensation expense is recognized (i) immediately at the grant date if no vesting conditions are required, or (ii) using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted shares is determined with reference to the fair value of common stock reflecting a pricethe underlying shares.

At each date of $1.10 per each MICT share.measurement, the Company reviews internal and external sources of information to assist in the estimation of various attributes to determine the fair value of the share-based awards granted by the Company, including but not limited to the fair value of the underlying shares, expected life, expected volatility and expected forfeiture rates. The Company is required to consider many factors and make certain assumptions during this assessment. If any of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock-based compensation changes significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current reporting period.

Reclassification

Prior to the deconsolidation of Micronet, Micronet had been taking active steps to sell its building within the year 2021. The company reclassified the related assets which were previously included in property and equipment, net and intangible assets, net to held-for-sale as of December 31, 2020.

Note 3 — Stockholders’ Equity

On September 8,November 2, 2020 the Company and allentered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors for the purpose of raising $25.0 million in gross proceeds for the Company (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the terms of the holders (the “Holders”Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 10,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”), with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”),and one warrant to purchase 0.8 of one share of Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per Unit. The warrants are exercisable nine months after the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.12 per share and will expire five years following the date the warrants become exercisable. The closing of the sale of Units pursuant to the.

NOTE 9 — SEGMENTS

Operating segments are based upon our internal organization structure, the manner in which our operations are managed and the availability of separate financial information.

By building secure, reliable and scalable platforms with high volume processing capability, we intend to provide customized solutions that address the needs of a highly diverse and broad client base. First, we have launched our insurance platform, operated by GFHI, for the Chinese market and have been generating revenues in GFHI. While the revenues were not material in 2020, these revenues are building and we expect these revenues to continue to grow in the 4th quarter as this business establishes itself in the market as a MRM segmentreputable service available to consumers Secondly, We are currently in the process of launching our securities trading software platform and accelerating the development and business around this segment. This is possible due to the recent completion of the acquisition of Magpie (formerly: Huapei) on February 26, 2021.


As a result of such acquisition, we have obtained the necessary licenses and permits to operate our online platform in the Hong Kong stock exchange.

AS we begin development of our oil and gas trading platform, we are looking to partner with an established and reputable Chinese organization to build out our technology, which will support two major elements of China’s energy sector.

During the period between June 23, 2020, and May 9, 2021 we have held a controlling interest in Micronet, and we have presented our mobile resource management (“MRM”) business operated by Micronet.Micronet as a segment.

(“DPW”). Per the Share Agreement, Coolisys agreed to pay, at the closing (“Closing”) of the transaction, a purchase price of $5,250,000 and assume up to $4,000,000 of Enertec Systems’ debt. On May 22, 2018, MICT closed on the sale of all of the outstanding equity of Enertec Systems.

Upon Closing, MICT received gross proceeds of approximately $4,700,000, of which 10% was to be held in escrow (“Escrow Amount’) for up to 14 months after the Closing in order to satisfy any potential indemnification claims. The final consideration amount was adjusted due to Enertec Systems’ debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4,000,000 of Enertec Systems’ debt.

In conjunction with, and as a condition to, the Closing, the Company, Enertec Systems, Coolisys, DPW and Mr. David Lucatz, our former Chief Executive Officer and director, executed a consulting agreement, (the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, we, via Mr. Lucatz, provided Enertec Systems with certain consulting and transitional services over a 3 year period as necessary (but in no event did the services exceed 20% of Mr. Lucatz’s time). Coolisys (via Enertec Systems) was obligated to pay us an annual consulting fee of $150,000 and to issue to us 150,000 restricted shares of DPW Class A common stock, (the “DPW Shares”). The DPW Shares were to be issued in three equal installments, with the initial installment vesting the day after the Closing and the remaining installments vesting on each of the first two (2) anniversaries of the Closing. The rights and obligations under the Consulting Agreement were assigned to Mr. Lucatz along with the DPW Shares.

Coolisys alleged the Company was in breach of the Share Agreement, and the Escrow Amount remained in escrow. On July 21, 2020, MICT management and MICT (the “Seller Parties”) received a statement of claim filed in the District Court of Tel Aviv (the “Court”) by Coolisys against the Seller Parties and its Board members for the approximate amount of $2,500,000, (the “Claim”). Pursuant to the Claim, Coolisys alleged that certain misrepresentations in the Share Agreement resulted in losses to Coolisys and requested, among other things, that the Court instruct the release of the Escrow Amount held by the escrow agent to Coolisys.

The Company filed its defense to the Claim on December 15, 2020. On September 14, 2021, the Court adopted a verdict giving effect to the parties settlement agreement pursuant to which the CompanyClaim was rejected. The parties have mutually released and Maxim agreed to release one another from any andwaived all claims arising outagainst the other and in consideration for the aforementioned, the Escrow Amount was released to Coolisys.

As a result of our Acquisition of GFHI and the subsequent work we have undertaken with the management of Intermediate, we are positioned to establish ourselves, through our operating subsidiaries, to serve the markets as a financial technology company with a significant Chinese marketplace. We plan to expand on a global level as we continue to scale our business. GFHI has built various platforms to capitalize on business opportunities in a range of verticals and technology segments, which currently include stock trading and wealth management, commodities in segments of oil and gas trading and insurance brokerage. We are seeking to secure material contracts in all of these market segments in China while also developing opportunities in order to allow GFHI access to these markets. We will continue to increase the capabilities of our platforms through acquisition and/or licensing different technologies to support our efforts. By building secure, reliable and scalable platforms with high volume processing capability, we intend to provide customized solutions that address the needs of a highly diverse and broad client base.


We implemented our plans by capitalizing on Intermediate’s experience with local markets in China, as well as with the Company’s operating subsidiaries, which have begun to secure material contracts in fast growing market segments in China.

Our current opportunities have given us access the following market segments:

Stock trading and wealth management segment;

Commodities in the field of Oil and gas trading segment; and

Insurance brokerage segment

These opportunities will continue to be realized and executed through our business development efforts, which include the acquisition of potential target entities, business and assets (such as applicable required licenses) in the relevant business space and segments in which we plan to operate. This allows the Company to enter into the market quickly and leverage existing assets in order to promote our growth strategy.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our business, as they exclude expenses and gains that are not reflective of our ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and term of its related amortization are unique to these transactions. The amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash charges. We believe that such charges do not reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-transaction operating results.

 

Expenses related to beneficial conversion feature expensethe settlement agreements - ThoseThese expenses are non-cashrelate to a settlement agreement as described in part III -Item 1.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We recognize revenue which represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in such exchange. We identify contractual performance obligations and determines whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services are provided to customers.


We use a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires us to (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

We derive our revenues from sales contracts with our customers with revenues being recognized upon performance of services. Our contracts with customers generally do not include a general right of return relative to the delivered products or services. We applied practical expedient when sales taxes were collected from customers, meaning sales tax is recorded net of revenue, instead of cost of revenue, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are excluded from the transaction price.

With respect to Micronet applicable revenue recognition U.S. GAAP requirements, Micronet implements a revenue recognition policy pursuant to which it recognizes its revenues at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products are transferred to its customers. There is limited discretion needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the products to the agreed location has occurred, Micronet no longer has physical possession of the product and will be entitled at such time to receive payment while relieved from the significant risks and rewards of the goods delivered. For most of Micronet’s products sales, control transfers when products are shipped.

The Company’s revenues are generated from: a) providing customers with marketing promotion and information drainage services, which is to charge information service fees according to the customer traffic information provided to customers with business needs; b) to providing insurance brokerage services or insurance agency services on behalf of insurance carriers. With respect to the information drainage services and insurance brokerage services applicable to revenue recognition U.S. GAAP requirements, the company implements a revenue recognition policy pursuant to which it recognizes its revenues at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products are transferred to its customers. Our performance obligation to the insurance carrier is satisfied and commission revenue is recognized at the point in time when an insurance policy becomes effective. The Company provides customers with information drainage services and settles service charges with customers on the monthly basis. Performance obligation is satisfied overtime during the contract term.

In accordance with ASC 606-10-55, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Company considers several factors in determining whether it acts as the principal or as an agent in the arrangement of merchandise sales and provision of various related services and thus whether it is appropriate to record the revenues and the related cost of sales on a gross basis or record the net amount earned as service fees. For insurance brokerage services, we have identified our promise to sell insurance policies on behalf of the insurance carriers as the performance obligation in our contracts with the insurance carriers.

Investments

The Company’s long-term investments consist of equity investments in privately held entities accounted for using the measurement alternative and equity investments accounted for using the equity method. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. According to the guidance, the Company accounts for the equity investments at fair value, with gains and losses recorded through net earnings. The Company elected to measure certain equity investments without readily determinable fair value at cost, less impairments, plus or minus observable price changes and assess for impairment quarterly.

The Company accounts for its equity investment over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, using the equity method. The Company adjusts the carrying amount of the investment and recognizes investment income or loss for its share of the earnings or loss of the investee after the date of investment. The Company assesses its equity investment for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, operating performance of the entity, including current earnings trends and undiscounted cash flows, and other entity-specific information. The fair value determination, particularly for investments in a privately held entity, requires judgment to determine appropriate estimates and assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could affect the calculation of the fair value of the investment and determination of whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary.


Operating leases

The Company follows ASC No. 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.

ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “or the Exchange Act,”), the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’sCompany's management, including Mr. Darren Mercer, the Company’sCompany's Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Arie Rand,Mrs. Moran Amran, the Company’s Chief Financial OfficerCompany's Controller (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of the Company’sCompany's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2020.2021. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’sCompany's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’sCompany's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’sCompany's management, including the Company’sCompany's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

During 2021 the Company has completed two significant acquisitions of business in China in the insurance brokerage field which included the acquisition of majority interests in Guangxi Zhongtong Insurance Agency Co., Ltd, and All Weather Insurance Agency Co., Ltd, each of them a local Chinese entity with business and operations in the field of broker insurance. The acquired entities are both private held companies managed and operated pursuant to local private accounting and business standards. As part of our internal control process, we identified an material weakness that the Company had insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and ongoing training in the application of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and disclosure requirements commensurate with the Company's financial reporting requirements.

In conjunction with, and as a conditionFrom time to the closing, the Company, Enertec, Coolisys, DPW and Mr. David Lucatz, our former Chief Executive Officer and director, executed a consulting agreement, time, MICT, GFHI and/or the Consulting Agreement, whereby we, via Mr. Lucatz, will provide Enertec with certain consulting and transitional services over a 3 year period as necessary and requested by the Coolisys (but in no eventMicronet may become subject to exceed 20% of Mr. Lucatz’s time). Coolisys (via Enertec) will pay us an annual consulting fee of $150,000 as well as issue us 150,000 restricted shares of DPW Class A Common Stock, or the DPW Equity, for such services, to be vested and released from restriction in three equal installments, with the initial installment vesting the day after the closing and the remaining installments vesting on each of the first 2 anniversaries of the closing. In the event of a change of control in the Company, or if Mr. Lucatz shall no longer be employed by us, the rights and obligations under the Consulting Agreement shall be assigned to Mr. Lucatz along with the DPW Equity.  

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, based on an indemnification claim issued by Coolisys to the escrow agent alleging for breach of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Amount remained in escrow. On July 21, 2020, MICT management, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company and MICT (the “Seller Parties”) received a statement of claim filed in the District Court of Tel Aviv by Coolisys against the Seller Parties and its Board members [at the time the transaction was closed/after the transaction closed], in the amount of approximately $2,500,000, (the “Claim”). Pursuant to the Claim, Coolisys is alleging that certain misrepresentations in the Share Purchase Agreement resulted in losses to Coolisys and requesting, among other things, that the Court instruct the release of the Escrow Amount held by the escrow agent to Coolisys. The Company intends to defend the Claim and its position in court. An initial response is due to be filed on or before December 1, 2020. MICT and defendant directors have issued a notice of the Claimlitigation incidental to its director and office insurance carrier seeking coverage. As of the date of hereof, the Escrow Amount remains in escrow, the annual consulting Fee has not been paid and the DPW Equity was never issued to MICT.business.

 

In March 2017, MICT entered into an Investment Banking Agreement (the “Sunrise Agreementa merger agreement (“Merger Agreement” or “Merger”) with Sunrise Securities LLC and Trump Securities LLC (collectively, “Sunrise(“Sunrise”) through Sunrise’s principal, Amnon Mandelbaum, pursuant to which Sunrise agreed to assist MICT in identifying, analyzing, structuring, and negotiating suitable business opportunities. These opportunities such asincluded: a sale of stock or assets, merger, tender offer, joint venture, financing arrangement, private placement, or any similar transaction or combination thereof. Pursuant to a merger transaction closed by MICT as well as certain private placements completedThe parties initially disagreed on the fee amount that would be payable upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the CompanyMerger Agreement. There were also questions about whether or not Sunrise has raisedwas owed any transaction fee upon the closing of the Merger. In order to resolve this matter, the parties executed a claimsettlement and release agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) for the payment of certain fees in connection with the Agreement. Pursuant to demand issued by Sunrise, Sunrise is claiming the payment of an amount of $140,000 based on its involvement in a $9 million financing closed by MICT during July 2019 as well as the right to receive warrants comprised of 7%release and waiver of the aggregate numberabove claims in consideration for the issuance of convertedfreely tradable shares of common stock and warrants issued under such financing. Sunrise has requested further disclosure and may have additional claimsof MICT worth no less than $1,500,000 (the “Settlement Shares” or “Shares”), which may give rise to litigation and/or other legal disputes. The parties have had disagreements about the applicabilitySettlement Shares were delivered as follows: (i) 67.5% of the Settlement Shares to Amnon Mandelbaum, (ii) 7.5% of the Settlement Shares to INTE Securities LLC, and (iii) 25% of the Settlement Shares to Amini LLC. In addition, no later than February 16, 2021, MICT issued 200,000 purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase 200,000 freely tradable registered shares of Common Stock of MICT and deliver original copies of such Warrants within five business days of the date of issuance of the Warrants. The Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants were to be registered via a registration statement on Form S-1. 150,000 Warrants were issued to Amnon Mandelbaum, 50,000 Warrants were issued to Amini LLC, or its designee as named in writing. Each Warrant is exercisable into one share of registered common stock of MICT until one year after the date of the Warrants issuance, at an exercise price of $1.01 per Share. In all other respects, these Warrants contain the same material terms and conditions as are applicable to MICT’s current outstanding Warrants including, but not limited to, cashless exercise at all times from the date of issuance of the Warrants. The expiration dates of the Warrants, certain exercise price adjustments, and other terms as are no less favorable than MICT’s recently issued common stock purchase warrant agreements. MICT was not able to timely file a registration statement to register the Shares, and the Shares underlying the Warrants per the Settlement Agreement. Sunrise Agreementnotified MICT that we were in breach of the Settlement Agreement. Subsequently, on March 30, 2021, MICT and Company disputesSunrise signed an amended settlement agreement (the “Amended Settlement Agreement”) whereby MICT was required to make a $1,000,000 payment to Sunrise by March 31, 2021 and the settlement share dollar amount set forth above was reduced from $1,500,000 to $500,000. Furthermore, if MICT was not able to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Settlement Shares by June 4, 2021, we were required to make a $600,000 payment to settle the matter in full and Sunrise would not receive any the Settlement Shares. On July 1, 2021, MICT made the $600,000 payment as there was a disagreement as to whether or partiallynot the claims. While parties are discussing a potential settlement there can be no assurance that a settlement will be reachedregistration statement was timely filed.  This matter with respect to such disagreements.Sunrise is now fully settled.

On November 3,


In March 2017, Micronet received notice from a previous customer, (the Complainant) relating to tests performed by the Complainant which allegedly revealed a defect in the materials included in the battery integrated into a certain product of Micronet. The Complainant then filed a complaint (“Complaint”) with the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (the “Regulator”). The Complaint referred to an old product of Micronet. The Complainant had similar problems with the specific product named in the Complaint, which were covered under the product’s warranty. MICT resolved the problem, changed the battery and updated the software. Independent tests to examine the Complainant’s issues (including addressing the issue with the battery manufacturer) did not demonstrate any significant evidence supporting the Claim. Micronet has engaged in discussion with the Regulator and as of the date hereof, Micronet has not received any demand or formal response from the Regulator. Currently, the Complainant has refused any payment from MICT, and each party as reserved its claims in this matter.

In February 2020, a former employee of Micronet filed a claim against Micronet in the Israeli Labor Court for a total amount of USD $150,000. He alleged that he was entitled to receive various salary payments and social benefits which were not previously paid to him. In response to the claim, Micronet filed its defense. The claim is currently being litigated, and the parties are currently submitting their affidavits in connection with the claim.

He demanded a sum of USD $230,000 as a severance payment. On February 17, 2021, the parties executed a settlement and release agreement in consideration for the payment of USD $90,000 by Micronet to the previous CEO and each signed a mutual waiver and release of claims.

(“DPW”). Per the Share Agreement, Coolisys agreed to pay, at the closing (“Closing”) of the transaction, a purchase price of $5,250,000 and assume up to $4,000,000 of Enertec Systems’ debt. On May 22, 2018, MICT closed on the sale of all of the outstanding equity of Enertec Systems.

The final consideration amount was adjusted based on Enertec Systems’ debt at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4,000,000 of Enertec Systems’ debt.

In conjunction with, and as a condition to, the Closing, the Company, Enertec Systems, Coolisys, DPW and Mr. David Lucatz, our former Chief Executive Officer and director, executed a consulting agreement, (“Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, we, via Mr. Lucatz, provided Enertec Systems with certain consulting and transitional services over a 3 year period as necessary (but in no event did the services exceed 20% of Mr. Lucatz’s time). Coolisys (via Enertec Systems) was obligated to pay us an annual consulting fee of $150,000 and to issue to us 150,000 restricted shares of DPW Class A common stock, (the “DPW Shares”). The DPW Shares were to be issued in three equal installments, with the initial installment vesting the day after the Closing and the remaining installments vesting on each of the first two (2) anniversaries of the Closing.

On July 21, 2020, MICT management and MICT (the “Seller Parties”) received a statement of claim filed in the District Court of Tel Aviv (the “Court”) by Coolisys against the Seller Parties and its board members in the amount of approximately $2,500,000, (the “Claim”). Pursuant to the Claim, Coolisys alleged that certain misrepresentations in the Share Agreement resulted in losses to Coolisys and requested, among other things, that the Court instruct the release of the Escrow Amount held by the escrow agent to Coolisys.
