NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

MICT, IncInc. (“MICT”, the “Company”, “We”, “us”, “our”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, we changed our corporate name from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. On July 13, 2018, following the sale of our former subsidiary Enertec Systems Ltd., we changed our name from Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. to MICT. Our shares have been listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MICT” since April 29, 2013.

MICT Telematics Ltd (“MICT Telematics”) is a wholly-owned holding company, established in Israel on December 31, 1991. On October 22, 1993, MICT Telematics established a wholly-owned holding company headquartered in Israel, MICT Management Ltd.

On February 1, 2019, BI Intermediate (Hong Kong) Limited (“BI Intermediate”) was incorporated in Hong Kong as a wholly-owned holding company of GFH Intermediate Holdings Ltd. (“GFHI” or “Intermediate”).

On December 11, 2019, Bokefa Petroleum and Gas Co., Ltd (“Bokefa Petroleum” ) was incorporated in Hong Kong as a holding company, and is the wholly-owned subsidiary of BI Intermediate. On October 22, 2020 and March 8, 2021, Bokefa Petroleum established two additional holding companies, Shanghai Zheng Zhong Energy Technologies Co., Ltd (“Shanghai Zheng Zhong”) and TianinTianjin Bokefa Technology Co., Ltd. (“Bokefa”).

On June 10, 2020, MICT Telematics purchased 5,999,996 ordinary shares of Micronet Ltd. (“Micronet”) for aggregate proceeds of New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) 1.8 Million1,800 (or $515,000)$515) through tender offer issued by MICT Telematics. As a result, increased our ownership interest in Micronet to 45.53% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares. 

Subsequently, on June 23, 2020 we purchased, through a public offering consummated by Micronet on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”), 10,334,000 of Micronet’s ordinary shares for total consideration of NIS 3,100,2003,100 (or $887,000)$887). As a result, we increased our ownership interest in Micronet to 53.39% of Micronet’s outstanding ordinary shares. MICT applied purchase accounting and began to consolidate Micronet’s operating results into our financial statements once the offering was consummated. MICT recognized a $665,000,$665 gain on previously held equity in Micronet.

On October 11, 2020, Micronet consummated a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”),TASE, in which the Company purchased 520,600 of Micronet’s ordinary shares and 416,480 of Micronet’s stock options convertible into 416,480 Micronet ordinary shares (at a conversion price of NIS 3.5 per share), for total consideration of NIS 4,961,2024,961 (or $1,417,486)$1,417). Following Micronet’s offering, including the purchase of Micronet shares, the exercise of our stock options and the additional purchase of 115,851 Micronet shares from an individual seller, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 53.39% to 50.31% of Micronet’s outstanding share capital. On May 9, 2021, following the exercise of options by minority stockholders, the Company’s ownership interest was further diluted to 49.88% and, as a result we no longer consolidate Micronet’s operating results in our financial statements. As of May 9, 2021, the Company accounted for the investment in Micronet using the equity method of accounting.

Prior to July 1, 2020, MICT operated primarily through its Israel-based majority-owned subsidiary, Micronet. Since July 1, 2020, after MICT completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of GFHI pursuant to that certain Agreementagreement and Planplan of Mergermerger entered into on November 7, 2019 by and between MICT, GFHI, Global Fintech Holding Ltd. (“GFH”), a British Virgin Islands company and the sole shareholder of GFHI, and MICT Merger Subsidiary Inc., a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT, (“Merger Sub”), as amended and restated on April 15, 2020 (the “Restated Merger Agreement” or “Merger”), we have been operating in the. MICT is a holding company conducting financial technology sector. GFHI is a financial technology companybusiness through its subsidiaries and entities controlled through various VIEs arrangements  with a marketplace in China, , as well as other areas of the world, and is currently in the process of building various platforms for business opportunities in different insurance platform segments (formerly: verticals and technology segmentssegments) in order to capitalize on such technology and business. GFHI plans to increase its capabilities and its technological platforms through acquisition and licensing technologies to support its growth efforts in the different market segments. After the Merger,merger, MICT includes the business of Intermediate, its wholly-owned subsidiary, operating through its operating subsidiaries, as described herein.


On October 2, 2020, BI Intermediate entered into a strategic agreement (the “Strategic Agreement”) to acquire the entire share capital of Magpie Securities Limited (“Magpie”), a Hong Kong based securities and investments firm for a total purchase price of approximately $3.0 million$3,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Magpie is licensed to trade securities on leading exchanges in Hong Kong, the U.S. and China, including China A-Shares, all of which are the primary target markets for Company’s global fintech business. The Strategic Agreement provided that the acquisition would be consummated in two phases, an initial purchase whereby 9% of the share capital of Magpie was acquired and thereafter, the remaining 91% of Magpie would be purchased by BI Intermediate upon, and subject to, the approval of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC)(the “SFC”), the principal regulator of Hong Kong’s securities and futures markets. On November 11, 2020, BI Intermediate closed on its acquisition of the first 9% and paid 9% of the Purchase Price. Additionally, pursuant to the Strategic Agreement upon the initial closing, BI Intermediate loaned Magpie an amount equivalent to the remaining 91% of the Purchase Price. Upon closing on the remaining 91%, which remained subject to SFC approval, the loan will be cancelled, and BI Intermediate will acquire the remaining 91% of Magpie. The loan was secured against the pledge of 91% of the share capital of Magpie purchased at such time by BI Intermediate. The obligations of Magpie the seller of the interests of Magpie under the loan agreement, have been guaranteed by theits majority shareholder of Magpie.shareholder. On February 26, 2021 we finalized the acquisition of Magpie. The acquisition was consummated following the receipt of approval from the SFC effecting the change in the majority shareholder of Magpie. In consideration for the entire share capital of Magpie, we paid a total Purchase Price of $2.947 million$2,947 (reflecting the net asset value of Magpie estimated at $2.034 million$2,034 recorded as a working capital, and a premium $902 thousands that was recorded as a license in the intangible assets).

Upon completion of the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in Magpie, we were able to obtain the licenses and permits needed for operating our online platform. After we complete the appropriate system testing to ensure scale and reliability, we will be in a position to notify the Hong Kong regulator of our intended launch date. Our initial plan is to launch the online stock trading platform in Hong Kong.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to nilapproximately $2,557 and approximately $5,000,$2,606, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owned 36.95%31.47% and 36.8%, respectively, of shares in Micronet which was accounted for under equity method.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owned 24% of the shares in Beijing Fucheng and controlledwas the primary beneficiary of the remaining 76% of Beijing Fucheng 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

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 & software indefinite useful life and some of them for 10 years
Technology know-how 6 years
Trade name/ trademarks indefinite useful life and some of them for 5 years
Customer relationship 55-10 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020. 2021.

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 of 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,We recognize our revenue under ASC 606. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenuenature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”,the entity’s contracts to provide goods or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to whichdepict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the transfer of promisedthose goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. It also requires us to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existingidentify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue recognition guidanceshould be recognized at a point in U.S. GAAPtime or over time, based on when it becomes effectivecontrol of goods 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 haveservices transfers to a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.customer.

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 from the insurance division 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 duringat point in time when the contract term.requested information is delivered to the customer.

The Company’s revenues from the online stock trading platform are generated from stock trading commission income. Magpie provides trade execution to its customers. Commission revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs. Trade execution performance obligation generally occurs on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument (for a purchase) or purchaser (for a sale) is identified and the pricing is agreed upon.

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 the underlying shares.

At each date of 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.

ReclassificationRecently issued accounting pronouncements

PriorIn May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the deconsolidationCodification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments Credit Losses Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of Micronet, Micronet had been taking active stepsfinancial statement information by providing an option to sell its buildingalign measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7 — Guangxi Zhongtong Insurance Agency Co., Ltd Acquisition

On January 1, 2021, we entered into a transaction through Bokefa, with the shareholders of Guangxi Zhongtong Insurance Agency Co., Ltd (“Guangxi Zhongtong”), a local Chinese entity with business and operations in the insurance brokerage business. Pursuant to the transaction, we granted loans to Guangxi Zhongtong’s shareholders through a frame work loan (the “GZ Frame Work Loan”) the amount of up to RMB 40,000 (approximately $6,125) (“GZ Frame Work Loan Amount”) which is designated, if exercised, to be used as a working capital loan for Guangxi Zhongtong. As of June 30, 2022, only RMB 8,010 (approximately $1,243) was drawn down from the GZ Frame Work Loan for working capital and approximately $919 was drawn down for loans to shareholders of Guangxi Zhongtong (as stipulated in the agreement). In consideration for the GZ Frame Work Loan, the parties entered into various additional agreements which include: (i) a pledge agreement pursuant to which the shareholders have pledged their shares for the benefit of  Bokefa in order to secure the GZ Frame work Loan Amount  (ii) an exclusive option agreement pursuant to which Bokefa has an exclusive option to purchase the entire issued and outstanding common shares of Guangxi Zhongtong from the shareholders (“Option Agreement”) under such terms set forth therein (which include an exercise price not less than the maximum GZ Frame Work Loan Amount and the right to convert the GZ Frame Work Loan Amount into the purchased shares) (iii) an entrustment agreement and power of attorney agreement pursuant to which the shareholders irrevocably entrusted and appointed Tianjin Bokefa as their proxy and trustee to exercise on their behalf any and all rights under applicable law and the articles of association of Guangxi Zhongtong in the shareholder’s equity interest in Guangxi Zhongtong (iv) a business cooperation agreement and a master exclusive service agreement which grants Bokefa rights related to Guangxi Zhongtong’s business and operations in order to secure repayment of the GZ Frame Work Loan Amount.

(In Thousands, except Share and Par Value data)

This transaction was structured pursuant to a Variable Interest Entity, Structure (in which we do not hold the shares). As such, and given our direct ownership in Bokefa and its contractual arrangements with Guangxi Zhongtong, we are regarded as Guangxi Zhongtong’s controlling entity and primary beneficiary of Guangxi Zhongtong business. We have, therefore, consolidated the financial position and operating results of Guangxi Zhongtong into our consolidated financial statements, using the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Guangxi Zhongtong in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Beijing Fucheng Lianbao Technology Co., Ltd is an entity incorporated on December 29, 2020, in which Bokefa owns 24% equity interest with the remaining 76% controlled by Bokefa through VIE agreements. On February 10, 2021, Beijing Fucheng acquired all of the shares of Beijing Yibao Technology Co., Ltd., which holds 100% of the equity interest in Beijing Fucheng Insurance Brokerage Co., Ltd. (“Fucheng Insurance”). Fucheng Insurance is a Chinese insurance brokerage agency and a nation-wide licensed entity which offers insurance brokerage services for a broad range of insurance products. Fucheng Insurance, through their nationwide license, will give us the flexibility to offer and create tailor-made insurance products, leverage customers directly or through distribution partners and procure better deals with both our existing and new insurance company partners. Fucheng Insurance further enables us to accelerate the onboarding of new agents onto our platforms all throughout China. It also creates the opportunity to promote our business through some of China’s biggest online portals, which will provide business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) as well as business-to-consumer (B2C) channels. When Fucheng Insurance initiates its nationwide rollout of its mobile application, it will facilitate access to those portals’ large customer bases which will also offer MICT’S full suite of insurance products. Beijing Fucheng shares were acquired for approximately $5,700, and funded through MICT.

On October 21, 2021, Yibao transferred such funds and the transaction closed. As a result of the transaction, Yibao 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 Frame Work Loan became null and void.

NOTE 9 — SEGMENTS

 

ASC 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 based upon our internal organization structure, the manner in which our operations are managed and the availability of separate financial information. As a result of our acquisition of GFHI on July 1, 2020, we currently serve the marketplace, through our operating subsidiaries, as a financial technology company (Fintech Industry) targeting the Chinese marketplace as well as other areas of the world. We have built and/or, are in the process of building, various platforms to capitalize on business opportunities in a range of insurance platform segments (formerly: verticals and technology segmentssegments) including stock trading and wealth management, oil and gas trading and insurance brokerage services. We will continue to increase the capabilities of our platforms through acquisition and/or the licensing of different technologies to support our efforts in the different market segments. 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 reputable service available to consumers Secondly, Wewe 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.

 

ASAs 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 as a segment. As of May 9, 2021, the Company’s ownership interest was diluted and, as a result, we no longer include Micronet’s operating results in our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1516 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In March 2017, MICT entered into an agreement with Sunrise Securities LLC (“Sunrise”) through Sunrise’s principal, Amnon Mandelbaum (the “Sunrise Agreement”), pursuant to which Sunrise agreed to assist MICT in identifying, analyzing, structuring, and negotiating suitable business opportunities, such as a sale of stock or assets, merger, tender offer, joint venture, financing arrangement, private placement, or any similar transaction or combination thereof. The parties initially disagreed as to the amount of the fee that would be payable upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the reinstated merger agreement. There were also questions about the applicability of the Sunrise Agreement to the merger, and whether or not Sunrise was properly owed any transaction fee upon the closing of the said merger. In order to resolve the matter, the parties have executed a settlement and release agreement for the release and waiver of the above claims in consideration for the issuance of freely tradable shares of common stock of MICT worth no less than $1,500,000 (the “Shares”), which Shares were delivered as follows: (i) 67.5% of the Shares to Amnon Mandelbaum; (ii) 7.5% of the Shares to INTE Securities LLC; and (iii) 25% of the Shares to Amini LLC. In addition, by no later than February 16, 2021, MICT would issue 200,000 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 would be registered on a registration statement. 150,000 of these warrants were issued to Amnon Mandelbaum and 50,000 of these warrants were issued to Amini LLC, or its designee as named in writing. Each warrant was exercisable into one share of registered common stock of MICT until one year after the date of issuance of the warrants at an exercise price of $1.01 per share, and in any other respects, on the same material terms and conditions as are applicable to MICT’s current outstanding warrants including, but not limited to: (i) cashless exercise at all times from the date of issuance of the warrants until to the expiration dates of the warrants, (ii) certain exercise price adjustments, and (iii) other terms that are no less favorable to MICT’s recently issued common stock purchase warrant agreements. MICT was not able to timely file a registration statement to register the Shares, and Shares underlying the warrants per the settlement agreement. The Sunrise parties notified MICT that it has breached the settlement agreement. Subsequently, on Marchopen legal proceeding as of June 30, 2021, MICT and the Sunrise parties signed an amended settlement agreement whereby MICT was obligated to make a $1,000,000 payment by March 31, 2021 and the share dollar amount set forth above was reduced from $1,500,000 to $500,000. MICT made the $1,000,000 payment. Furthermore, if MICT was not able to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the 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 MICT shares. On July 1, 2021, MICT made the $600,000 payment since there was a disagreement as to whether or not the registration statement was timely filed.  This matter with Sunrise is now fully settled.   

On September 22, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Craig Marshak, (“Marshak”), in connection with a claim filed by Marshak against the Company and additional defendants. Pursuant to the settlement, and in consideration for a customary release and waiver for the benefit of MICT, MICT agreed to pay Marshak a sum of $125,000 in cash. Marshak then dismissed such claim. On January 15, 2021 the parties executed an amendment to the settlement and release agreement for the payment to Marshak of $315,000 in exchange for the tender back of 60,000 of the Company’s shares that were promised to Marshak as part of the settlement and release agreement. The $315,000 payment was made and this matter is settled in full. 

On December 31, 2017, MICT, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., (“Enertec Systems”), previously our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Enertec Management Ltd., (“Enertec Management”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Agreement”), with Coolisys Technologies Inc., (“Coolisys”), a subsidiary of DPW Holdings, Inc. (“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,2022 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 Claim was rejected. The parties have mutually released and waived all claims against the other and in consideration for the aforementioned, the Escrow Amount was released to Coolisys.

For

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the nine months ended September 30, 2020,U.S., or GAAP, we hadprovide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance.

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 non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them from non-GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets - We are required to amortize the intangible assets, included in our GAAP financial statements, related to the Transaction and the Acquisition. 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 the settlement agreements - These expenses relate to a settlement agreement as described in part III -Item 1. Legal Proceedings of this reports. We believe that these expenses do not reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude them to provide the investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-transaction operating results.

Stock-based compensation - is share based awards granted to certain individuals. They are non-cash and affected by our historical stock prices which are irrelevant to forward-looking analyses and are not necessarily linked to our operational performance.

Options-based compensation – Refers to compensation components which includes stock options awards granted to certain employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company. This is a non cash personal compensation component for our employees, officers, directors or consultants and its cost to the Company is calculated based on B&S. This these costs attributed to the grant of stock options are irrelevant to the forward-looking analyses and are not necessarily linked to our operational performance.

Financing Needs

 

The Company will be required to support its own operational financial needs, which include, among others, our general and administrative costs (such as for our various consultants in regulatory, tax, legal, accounting and other areas of business) and our financing costs related to the loans and funding instruments assumed by us.

 

We expect the net proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used to fund the growth and development of our business, as well as for working capital and for other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our business, but we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions.

 

Based on our current business plan, and in view of our cash balance following the transactions described in this Item 2, we anticipate that our cash balances will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations and carry out our contemplated business plans for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Report.

 

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.

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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2021 as described in the last Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 25, 2022. With provinces opening again within the PRC, MICT is in the process of hiring additional staff in its finance department. During the quarter covered by this report, we hired an additional controller, as well as a new financial manager. Additionally, we conducted a mapping of the processes and controls that support financial reporting and also performed tests to examine the effectiveness of the controls. As part of the effectiveness test, gaps in the ITGC control process were identified for the companies that were acquired and did not manage to produce a control environment without gaps. These gaps were mapped and identified by us, and we built a remediation plan to reduce and to fix the gaps as early as this fiscal year. Our IT team has begun implementing the remediation plan and are in the process of fixing the gaps.  

 

Other than as described above, there were not changes has occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings. 

 

From time to time, MICT, GFHI and/or Micronet may become subject to litigation incidental to its business.

In March 2017, MICT entered into a merger agreement (“Merger Agreement” or “Merger”) with Sunrise Securities LLC (“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 included: a sale of stock or assets, merger, tender offer, joint venture, financing arrangement, private placement, or any similar transaction or combination thereof. The parties initially disagreed on the fee amount that would be payable upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. There were also questions about whether or not Sunrise was owed any transaction fee upon the closing of the Merger. In order to resolve this matter, the parties executed a settlement and release agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) for the release and waiver of the above claims in consideration for the issuance of freely tradable shares of common stock of MICT worth no less than $1,500,000 (the “Settlement Shares” or “Shares”), which Settlement 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 notified MICT that we were in breachopen legal proceeding as of the Settlement Agreement. Subsequently, on MarchJune 30, 2021, MICT and Sunrise 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 not the registration statement was timely filed.  This matter with Sunrise is now fully settled.   

On September 22, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement (“Release Agreement”) with Craig Marshak, (“Marshak”), in connection with a claim filed by Marshak against the Company and additional defendants. Pursuant to the Release Agreement, MICT agreed to pay Marshak a sum of $125,000 in cash. On January 15, 2021 the parties executed an amendment to the Release Agreement whereby MICT agreed to pay Marshak a sum of $315,000 in cash by February 23, 2021. Marshak then dismissed his claim.


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 Regulator2022 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.

In June 2020, the previous Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Micronet’s subsidiary in the U.S. sent a demand letter, addressed to Micronet, claiming he was owed compensation and severance due to Micronet’s breach of his employment agreement. 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.

Sale of Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd.

On December 31, 2017, MICT, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., (“Enertec Systems”), a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, and Enertec Management Ltd., (“Enertec Management”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Agreement”), with Coolisys Technologies Inc., (“Coolisys”), a subsidiary of DPW Holdings, Inc. (“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 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.


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 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.

The Company filed its defense to the Claim on December 15, 2020. On September 14th 2021 the Court adopted a verdict giving effect to the parties settlement agreement pursuant to which the Claim was rejected. The parties have fully released and waived all claims against the other and in consideration for the aforementioned, the Escrow Amount was released to the Coolisys.today.
