NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

MICT,Tingo Group, Inc. (“MICT”Tingo Group”, the “Company”, “We”“we”, “us”, “our”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002.2002 under the name Lapis Technologies, Inc. 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,to MICT, Inc. On February 27, 2023, following the merger transaction with Tingo Mobile Limited (“Tingo Mobile”), we changed our name to MICT.Tingo Group, Inc. Our shares have been listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) since April 29, 2013 and trade under the symbol “MICT” since April 29, 2013.“TIO”.

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 Tianjin 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”) 1,800 (or $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 (or $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 gain on previously held equity in Micronet.

On October 11, 2020, Micronet consummated a public equity offering on the 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 (or $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.


 

MICT, Inc.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In Thousands, except Share and Par Value data)

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 of GFHI pursuant to that certain agreement and plan of merger 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, as amended and restated on April 15, 2020 (the “Restated Merger Agreement” or “Merger”). MICTThe Company is a holding company conducting financial technology business, agri-fintech and food business through its subsidiaries and entities, both wholly-owned and controlled through various variable interest entity (“VIE entities”, together with the Company, the “Group”) arrangements (“VIE”), which are located mainly in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The Group’s business has changed materially since December 1, 2022, following the completion of two material acquisitions of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods PLC (“Tingo Foods”), the details of which are described below under “Acquisition of Tingo Mobile” and “Acquisition of Tingo Foods”, respectively. 

As of June 30, 2023, we operate in five segments and following the recent launch of TingoPay we will be operating in six segments (i) verticals and technology, comprised of our operations in China where we operate our insurance brokerage business (“Verticals and Technology”); (ii) online stock trading, primarily comprised of the operation of Magpie Securities Limited (“Magpie”) through which we operate the online stock trading business, primarily out of Hong Kong and Singapore (“Online Stock Trading”); (iii) comprehensive platform service, which includes the operations of Tingo Mobile described below (“Comprehensive Platform Service”); (iv) food processing, where crops and raw foods are purchased by Tingo Foods, before being processed into finished food products, through arrangements with third party rice mills, cashew processing plants, and other food processing companies, and sold to large food distributor and wholesaler companies (Tingo Foods was purchased by the Company in February 2023) (“Food Processing”); (v) export and commodity trading, where both agricultural commodities and processed foods are exported and traded on a global basis through Tingo DMCC, which operates from the Dubai Multi Commodity Centre (the “DMCC”) (“Export and Commodity Trading”); and (vi) Consumer Super App, digital payment services and merchant services, which in partnership with Visa operates the TingoPay Super App (currently in a beta version) offering retail customers a range of services, including but not limited to online payments in their domestic or foreign currencies, as well as the ability to manage their Visa cards, pay bills, arrange insurance, arrange loans and purchase mobile telephone top-ups. TingoPay also offers businesses a range of Visa powered merchant services.

As further discussed in Note 5 the Company decided to exit its operations of one of its VIEs arrangements(as explained below). The Company is reconsidering its focus areas. As part of the reconsideration the Company considering the exit of other operations in China and subsequent to the balance sheet date decided on the cessation and abandonment of the operations of Magpie.

Since July 1, 2020, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of GFH Intermediate Holdings Ltd (“GFHI ”) (the “GFHI Acquisition”) the Group has been operating in the financial technology sector. GFHI is a financial technology company with a marketplace in China, as well as the wider southeast Asia area and other areasparts 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 segments) in ordersegments to capitalize on such technology and business. GFHIbusiness, including the Company’s recent acquisitions of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods. The Company plans to increase its capabilities and its technological platforms through acquisition and licensing technologies to support its growth efforts, particularly in the different market segments. After the 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 securitiesagri-fintech, payment services, digital marketplace and investments firm for a total purchase price of approximately $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 (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 have been guaranteed by its majority 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 (reflecting the net asset value of Magpie estimated at $2,034 recorded as a working capital, and a premium $902 that was recorded as a license in the intangible assets). The Company, through and together with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Beijing Magpie Securities Consulting Services Co., Ltd (“Beijing Magpie”) and Shenzhen Magpie Information Consulting Technology Co., Ltd (“Shenzhen Magpie”), are in the process of integrating its mobile app platform with Magpie’s licensed trading 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.

On January 1, 2021, we entered into a transaction through our wholly-owned subsidiary, 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 loaned the Guangxi Zhongtong 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

(In Thousands, except Share and Par Value data)

was structured pursuant to a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) 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 (“Beijing Fucheng”) 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.

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, 2021 annual report on Form 10-K filed on June 17, 2022.  

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 rest of 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’s consolidated financial reports, however, there were lockdowns in numerous provinces, which prevented employees of MICT and representatives of Friedman LLP, MICT’s registered independent audit firm from accessing a number of MICT’s offices in these affected provinces, which cause a delay in filing the financial reports on time. In addition, there was a decrease in revenues from Guangxi Zhongtong as a result of the lockdown in certain cities and regions due to the COVID-19 impacts.; 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 ConsolidationNOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Operating results for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanyingsignificant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesidentical to those applied in the U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidatedpreparation of the latest annual financial statements, includeexcept for revenue recognition policy presented below.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the initial and recurring valuation of the Companycertain assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisitions, goodwill and its subsidiariesimpairment, allowance for credit losses, impairment of long-lived and variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactionsintangible assets and balances amongcontingencies. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

CashFunctional currency and Exchange Rate Income (Loss)

 

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $2,557 and $2,606, respectively.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

The reportingfunctional currency of our foreign entities is their local currency. For these foreign entities, we translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Companiesperiod for statements of operations amounts and using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities. We record these translation adjustments 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 accumulatedAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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

Investments

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

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owned 24% of the shares in Beijing Fucheng and was 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 & softwareindefinite useful life and some of them for 10 years
Technology know-how6 years
Trade name/ trademarksindefinite useful life and some of them for 5 years
Customer relationship5-10 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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

 

We recognize our revenue under ASC 606.The Company follows ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about“Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and recognizes revenue when it transfers the nature, amount, timing and uncertaintycontrol of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer ofpromised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that itthe Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or servicesservices.

The Company’s revenues from Tingo Mobile’s comprehensive platform service are recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. It also requires us to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on whenupon transfer of control of goods and services transfers to a customer.

We recognize revenue which represents the transfer of goods andpromised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to which we expect to be entitledreceive 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 deliveredexchange for those products or services. We applied practical expedient when sales taxes were collected fromThe Company offers customers meaning sales tax is recorded netthe ability to lease the phones on one-year terms, and purchase data and calls, as well as use of revenue, insteadthe NWASSA platform.

The Company also records depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the phones, which is estimated by management at three years.

 

With respectThe Company exercised judgement in determining the accounting policies related to Micronet applicable revenue recognition U.S. GAAP requirements, Micronet implementsthese transactions, including the following:

Determination of whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together, such as phone leases and purchase of data.

Determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation and for products and services that are not sold separately.

The pattern of delivery (i.e., timing of when revenue is recognized) for each distinct performance obligation.

Estimation of variable consideration when determining the amount of revenue to recognize (i.e., separate items on NWASSA platform)

Tingo Foods is a revenue recognition policy pursuantdiversified food processing company, which uses domestic inputs purchased from farmers across Nigeria and processes them into finished foods. Since the commencement of its operations in September 2022, the food processing activities of Tingo Foods have been conducted through arrangements with third party rice mills, cashew processing plants and other food processing companies, and the finished food products are sold to large food distributor and wholesaler companies.

In 2023, we launched our global commodities trading platform and export business (“Tingo DMCC”) from DMCC, which it recognizesis regarded as the Free Trade Zone and a major global commodity trading center, to facilitate purchases and export of agricultural commodities from both its existing customer base and new customers. Tingo DMCC exports agricultural produce, including rice, wheat, millet and maize.

The Company’s revenues at the amount to which it expects to be entitledfrom Tingo Foods and Tingo DMCC are recognized when control over the finished goods transfers to its customers, which generally occurs upon shipment to, or receipt at, customers’ locations, as determined by the specific terms of the contract. These revenue arrangements generally have single performance obligations.

The arrangements are free from variable consideration and consideration payable to our customers, including applicable discounts, returns, allowances, trade promotion, unsaleable product, consumer coupon redemption and rebates. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables and require payment on a short-term basis; therefore, the Company does not have any significant financing components.

The Company records revenues from Tingo Foods and Tingo DMCC on a gross basis because the Company controls the products or services isbefore they are transferred to the customers determined on the basis that: (1) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling its customers. Control is generally transferred whenpromise to deliver the specified products to customers; (2) the Company has a present right to payment and title andinventory risk before the significant risks and rewards of ownership ofspecified products are transferred to its customers. There is limiteda customers, and (3) the Company has discretion needed in identifyingestablishing the point control passes: once physical delivery ofprice for 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.specified products.

 

The Company’s revenues from the insurance divisionsegment 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) tofrom 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 thea point in time when an insurance policy becomes effective. The Company provides customers with information drainageregarding services and settles service charges withcommission charge from the customers on thea monthly basis. Performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the requested information is delivered to the customer.

 

In accordance with ASC 606-10-55, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction. To the extent the Company acts as the principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis. To the extent the Company acts as the agent, revenue is reported on a net basis. The determination of whether the Company act as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the good or service prior to transfer to the customer.

NOTE 3 TINGO MOBILE TRANSACTION

Tingo Mobile, Purchase Price Allocation

The table set forth below summarizes the estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

In addition, the following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date:

Total Merger consideration (1) $1,215,241 
Total purchase consideration $1,215,241 
Less:    
Net working capital $170,327 
Property and equipment  760,661 
Intangible – farmer cooperative  24,893 
Intangible – trade names and trademarks  54,576 
Intangible – software  90,030 
Deferred tax liability (2)  (50,849)
  $1,049,638 
Goodwill (3) $165,603 

(1)The $1,215,241 value of the Merger consideration transferred was determined in accordance with ASC 820 and ASC 805. ASC 820 requires that fair value to maximize objective evidence and be determined using assumptions that a market participant would use, and when level 1 inputs exist, it should be used unless determined to be not representative. That would have meant using the unadjusted Tingo Group quoted price at the time of completion of the Transaction. The Company is of the opinion however, that the market value per share price as quoted on Nasdaq is not representative of the fair value and should not be used to determine the merger consideration. Using market value per share of Tingo Group would have led to a significant bargain purchase gain and an internal rate of return that was not reasonable as well as other valuation anomalies that it created. Hence, and in accordance with ASC 805-30-30-5, the Company reassessed the determination of the consideration transferred and determined that the use of the quoted price of Tingo, Inc’s share price on the OTC at market close is more appropriate in determining the consideration fair value.

 

(2)Represents the income tax effect of the difference between the accounting and income tax bases of the identified intangible assets, using an assumed statutory income tax rate of 30%.

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.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In 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 Codification. 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 financial statement information by providing an option to align 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.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations”. The amendments in this Update address how to determine whether a contract liability is recognized by the acquirer in a business combination and resolve the inconsistency of measuring revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination by providing specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that enter into a business combination within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combination-Overalls. For public business entities, ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows.

Note 3 — Stockholders’ Equity

On November 2, 2020 the Company entered 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 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 common stock, par value $0.001 per share 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. Purchase Agreement occurred on November 4, 2020. By December 31, 2020, the Company had received a total of $22.325 million in gross proceeds pursuant to Offering and issued in the aggregate, 7,600,000 Units. The remaining gross proceeds, in the additional aggregate amount of $2.675 million, were received by the Company on March 1, 2021 and in consideration for such proceeds, the Company issued the remaining 2,400,000 units.

On February 11, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “February Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors for the sale of (i) 22,471,904 shares of common stock, (ii) 22,471,904 Series A warrants to purchase 22,471,904 shares of common stock and (iii) 11,235,952 Series B warrants to purchase 11,235,952 shares of common stock at a combined purchase price of $2.67 (the “February Offering”). The gross proceeds to the Company from the February Offering were expected to be approximately $60.0 million. The Series A warrants will be exercisable nine months after the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $2.80 per share and will expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance. The Series B warrants will be exercisable nine months after the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $2.80 per share and will expire three and one-half years from the date of issuance.

Note 5 — Exit of All Weather

On March 2,July 1, 2021, we entered into a transaction through Tianjin Bokefa Technology Co., Ltd. (“Bokefa”), with the shareholders of All Weather Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (the “All Weather”), a local Chinese entity with business and operations in the insurance brokerage business. Pursuant to the transaction, we granted loans to All Weather’s shareholders through a framework loan (the “AW Framework Loan”) in the amount of up to RMB 30,000 (approximately $4,700) which is designated, if exercised, to be used as a working capital loan for All Weather. As of December 31, 2021, RMB 30,000 (approximately $4,700) was drawn down from the AW Framework Loan for working capital. In consideration for the AW Framework Loan, the parties entered into various additional agreements as more fully described in our annual report. Through these series of agreement, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary, and consolidated All Weather.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company's management decided to focus its operations on recent acquisitions of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods. That decision led to abandon our interests in All Weather. As part of the decision, the Company demanded the full repayment of the loan granted to All Weather’s shareholders. As of the decision date, the Company is no longer consolidating All Weather. The Company recorded a loss from deconsolidation of All Weather of $3,333 in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 8 — ALL WEATHER TRANSACTION

On July 1, 2021, we entered into a transaction through Bokefa, with the shareholders of All Weather, a local Chinese entity with business and operations in the insurance brokerage business. Pursuant to the transaction, we granted loans to All Weather’s shareholders through a frame work loan (the “AW Frame Work Loan”) the amount of up to RMB 30,000 (approximately $4,700) (“AW Frame Work Loan Amount”) which is designated, if exercised, to be used as a working capital loan for All Weather. As of June 30, 2022, RMB 30,000 (approximately $4,700) was drawn down from the AW Frame Work Loan for working capital. In consideration for the AW 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 AW 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 All Weather from the shareholders (“Option Agreement”) under such terms set forth therein (iii) an entrustment agreement and power of attorney agreement pursuant to which the shareholders irrevocably entrusted and appointed Bokefa as their proxy and trustee to exercise on their behalf any and all rights under applicable law and the articles of association of All Weather in the shareholder’s equity interest in All Weather (iv) a business cooperation agreement and a master exclusive service agreement which grants Bokefa rights related to All Weather’s business and operations in order to secure repayment of the AW Frame Work Loan Amount.

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 All Weather, we are regarded as All Weather’s controlling entity and primary beneficiary of All Weather’s business. We have, therefore, consolidated the financial position and operating results of All Weather into our consolidated financial statements, using the fair value of the assets and liabilities of All Weather in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

NOTE 97 — 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, businessoperating segments and major customers in financial statements for detailing the Company’s businessoperating 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, and Tingo Mobile on December 1, 2022, we currently serve the marketplace, through our operating subsidiaries, as a financial technology company (Fintech Industry) targeting the Chinese marketplaceAfrican, Middle Eastern and South East Asia marketplaces 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 segments) including stock 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 as this business establishes itself in the market as a reputable 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 Ltd. (“Micronet”), and we have presented our mobile resource management (“MRM”) business operated by Micronet as a separate operating 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.deconsolidated Micronet.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has five segments. This change came with the acquisition of Tingo Foods on February 9, 2023. The Company changed its reporting structure to better reflect what the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is reviewing to make organizational decisions and resource allocations. Following the loss of control over Micronet, MRM is no longer a separate operating segment or reportable segment since the CODM does not review discrete financial information for the business. The Company recast the information as of June 30, 2023 to align with this presentation.

The following table summarizes the financial performanceactivities of each of our operating segments:reportable segments from which the Company earns revenues, records equity earnings or losses and incurs expenses are described below:

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to litigation arising from time to time in the ordinary course of its business.

On April 18, 2023, Altium Growth Fund, L.P., Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B, Empery Asset Master Ltd., Empery Tax Efficient, L.P., and Empery Tax Efficient III, L.P. (collectively “Investors”) filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint (“Motion”) against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, requesting that the Court order the Company to purchase certain warrants from the Investors at the Black Scholes Value of $13,426. The Investors hold various warrants (“Warrants”) issued pursuant to securities purchase agreements (“SPAs”) that the Company is to purchase at their Black Scholes Value upon the Investors’ demand and after a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the Warrants). According to the Investors, the Merger described herein constituted a Fundamental Transaction. The Company initially was of the view that the Merger was not a Fundamental Transaction. However, upon further reflection, the Company concluded that the Investors were correct, and filed a response agreeing that a Fundamental Transaction had occurred, that the Investors were entitled to the Black Scholes Value of their Warrants and requested that the court enter an order directing the Company to pay the Investors accordingly. The day after the Company filed its response, the Investors claimed to rescind their demand for the Black Scholes Value of their Warrants, pursuant to a provision in the SPAs that they say entitles them to do so. After the Investors purported to rescind their demand for the Black Scholes Value of their Warrants and attempted to unilaterally withdraw their Motion, the Investors sought to exercise certain of the Warrants. The Company rejected Investors’ exercise notices and filed a counterclaim alleging that Investors did not have the right to exercise the Warrants because the Motion by which they sought to compel the Company to purchase the Warrants could not be unilaterally withdrawn and was still pending. Investors then filed an amended complaint seeking declaratory relief and unspecified “millions” in damages plus attorney’s fees, based on the Company’s failure to honor their exercise of certain of their Warrants. On July 3, 2023, the court issued the order directing the Company to deposit 13,167,641 shares with the court to serve as security for any judgment plaintiffs may obtain in the action. On July 19, 2023, the Company filed a motion to vacate the order, which is currently scheduled for September 14, 2023. The litigation is ongoing.

On June 8, 2023, two putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company, Dozy Mmobuosi, Darren Mercer, and Kevin Chen. The first complaint was filed by Christopher Arbour, individually and on behalf of a class of “persons or entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Tingo securities between March 31, 2023, and June 6, 2023.” The second was filed the same day by Mark Bloedor, individually and on behalf of a class of “all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Common Stock between December 1, 2022, and June 6, 2023.” Both complaints are based entirely on the allegations in the Hindenburg short seller report issued on June 6, 2023, following which the Company’s stock price declined by nearly 50 percent. Relying solely on the allegations in the Hindenburg report, both complaints allege defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and the individual defendants violated Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act. The Company and individual defendants deny the allegations in the complaints and intend to vigorously defend the actions. Following the publication of the Hindenburg report, the Company’s independent directors retained independent counsel to conduct an investigation of the Hindenburg allegations.

The Group has not recognized a liability in respect of the Motion and complaints because management does not believe that the Group has incurred a probable material loss by reason of any of this matter.

NOTE 16 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ThereNOTE 14 — IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company's management decided to forsake its involvement with All Weather and as a result, the Company is no longer consolidating All Weather. We conducted forecasting and strategic reviews and integration assessments of our Verticals and Technology segment, and with performance below expectations since acquisition, we revised internal financial projections of the business to reflect updated expectations of future financial performance. These reviews and the subsequent revisions in the projections highlighted challenges for the Verticals and Technology segment as a result of performance below expectations due to the impact of modified consumer shopping behavior in the post-COVID-19 period.

Also, on July 12, 2023, the Company made a business decision to close its online stock trading business in Hong Kong and Singapore having considered the level of losses being incurred, the ongoing challenges in the market sector, and the fact that the business is no longer core to the Company’s strategy following the acquisitions of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods. The Company will however continue to explore opportunities to monetize the proprietary online stock trading technology and products it has developed.

Continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived assets were considered triggering events requiring interim impairment assessments to be performed relative to the intangible assets that had been recorded as part of these acquisitions in accordance with ASC 360-10 and ASC 350-10 which require the viewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company's evaluation of recoverability is performed at the lowest level of assets group to which identifiable cash flows are no open legal proceedinglargely independent of the cash flows of another asset group. Recoverability of the asset group (the Verticals and Technology segment and the Online Stock Trading segment) is measured by a comparison of the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows the asset group is expected to generate to the carrying amounts of the asset group. If such evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable, an impairment loss is calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value.

The intangible assets that are subject to impairment testing were recorded as part of the intangible assets segments and included indefinite-lived and finite-lived trade name/ trademarks, licenses and finite-lived developed technology and customer relationships. As a result of the interim impairment assessments, we recognized impairment charges for the excess of the book value over the fair value of those intangible assets in amount of $14,397 pre-tax ($11,924 after tax) to write-down these intangible assets to their respective fair values close to $0 as of June 30, 20222023 related to the Verticals and Technology segment and $1,253 pre-tax ($1,253 after tax) to write-down these intangible assets to their respective fair values close to $0 as of today.June 30, 2023 related to the Online Stock Trading segment. The valuation methods used in the assessments included the relief-from-royalty methodology and excess earnings of the income approach for intangible assets from the acquisitions of our subsidiaries. This noncash charge was included in Impairment of long-term assets and goodwill in our consolidated statement of operations.

This testing involves estimates and significant judgments by management. We believe our estimates and assumptions used in the valuations are reasonable and appropriate to those that would be used by other market participants; however, additional adverse changes in key assumptions and actual unanticipated events and circumstances could differ substantially from those used in the valuation, and to the extent such factors result in a failure to achieve the projected cash flows used to estimate fair value, additional impairment charges could be required in the future. Therefore, although we have recorded the said impairment charges, we cannot guarantee that we will not experience asset impairments in the future.

ASC 350-20 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” requires to test goodwill (after its allocation to the company's reporting units) for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. As a result of the circumstances described in Note 14 the company decided to perform impairment test for the reporting unit to which the goodwill belongs (the Verticals and Technology segment) as of June 30, 2023.

The goodwill impairment test is performed according to the following principles:

1.An initial qualitative assessment may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than it is carrying amount.

2.If the Company concludes it is more likely than not (more than 50 percent likelihood) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than it is carrying amount, a quantitative fair value test is performed. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

The Company carried out a qualitative assessment which included various factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, earnings multiples, gross margin and cash flows from operating activities and other relevant factors. The circumstances mentioned above led management to believe that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. As a result, the fair value had to be determined as part of the quantitative assessment.

The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements”. The Company applies assumptions that marketplace participants would consider in determining the fair value of its reporting unit. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment. Significant estimates used in the fair value methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, and weighted average cost of capital.

As a result of this testing, we recorded an $19,788 pre-tax non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill for the six months period ended June 30, 2023, relating to Verticals and Technology segment reporting unit, representing a full impairment charge for its goodwill balance.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 12, 2023, the Company made a business decision to close its online stock trading business in Hong Kong and Singapore having considered the level of losses being incurred, the ongoing challenges in the market sector, and the fact that the business is no longer core to the Company’s strategy following the acquisitions of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods.

Verticals and Technology

Net revenues related to the fintech business and insurance agency business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $13,169,000 and $33,721,000, respectively, as compared to $11,950,000 and $21,483,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and reflects an increase of $1,219,000 and $12,238,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is attributable to the following factors: (1) Chinese government has eased a three-year-long restriction for COVID at the beginning of 2023, which stimulated consumption, travel and rapid business growth and; (2) The Company opened several new branches, for example in the cities of Weifang and Chengdu and; (3) The Company increased its telemarketing activity, which stimulated business growth and; (4) The Company successfully improved customer satisfaction levels, creating customer “stickiness”, and recruited additional senior business development management, which assisted to increase top line revenue.

Cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $10,921,000 and $28,939,000, respectively, as compared to $9,870,000 and $18,163,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting an increase of $1,051,000 and $10,776,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is attributable to: (1) an increase in sales activity due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and; (2) the opening of several new branches; (3) the Company increasing its telemarketing activity, and; (4) an increase in top line revenues that arose through increasing customer satisfaction levels.

Gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $2,248,000 and $4,782,000, respectively, as compared to $2,080,000 and $3,320,000 gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting an increase of $168,000 and $1,462,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is attributable to the uplift in revenues as discussed above.

The loss from operations related to the fintech business and insurance agency business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $37,830,000 and $41,054,000, respectively, as compared to $1,795,000 and $6,090,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and reflects an increase of $36,035,000 and $34,964,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is attributable to the impairment of long-term assets and goodwill, further described in Note 14 and Note 15 to the Financial Statements, and from loss from deconsolidation of All Weather as from May 31, 2023, further described in Note 5 to the Financial Statements.


Online Stock Trading

Net revenues related to the Online Stock Trading platform segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $20,000 and $28,000, respectively as compared to $8,000 and $38,000 revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively and reflects an increase of $12,000 and a decrease of $10,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease is attributable to the general decrease in retail stock trading business as the Company reduced its marketing activity in this area and began to pivot away from this segment.

Cost of revenues related to the Online Stock Trading platform segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $0 and $22,000 as compared to $15,000 and $20,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and reflects a decrease of $15,000 and an increase of $2,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit (loss) related to the Online Stock Trading platform segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $20,000 and $6,000, respectively, as compared to $(7,000) and $18,000 gross loss and profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and reflects an increase of $27,000 and decrease of $12,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period last year. The variance is attributed to the combination of the decreased in revenues and the increased in the broker minimum charges.

The loss from operations related to the Online Stock Trading platform segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $2,814,000 and $4,515,000, respectively, as compared to $2,494,000 and $6,038,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and reflects an increase of $320,000 and decrease of $1,523,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period last year. The change is due to the cost savings that the Company made as it reduced staff numbers, cut back on marketing activity and commenced to pivot away from the B2C retail stock trading market and explore opportunities as a B2B, white-label operator and also adapt its technology with a view to launching payment service product in the future. On July 12, 2023, the Company made a business decision to close its online stock trading business in Hong Kong and Singapore having considered the level of losses being incurred, the ongoing challenges in the market sector, and the fact that the business is no longer core to the Company’s strategy following the acquisitions of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods. The Company will however continue to explore opportunities to monetize the proprietary online stock trading technology and products it has developed.

Comprehensive Platform Service

Net revenues related to the Comprehensive Platform Service segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $209,550,000 and $463,016,000, respectively, as compared to $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year increase is attributable to the Tingo Mobile acquisition which was completed on December 1, 2022.

The segment’s U.S. dollar reported net revenues for the second quarter were materially affected by the substantial devaluation of Nigeria’s currency against the U.S. dollar, following the Nigerian Government’s lifting of certain foreign exchange restrictions. This resulted in a devaluation of the Naira against the U.S. Dollar of 66.4%. Net revenues from the Nwassa agri-fintech platform were also further adversely affected in the second quarter by the economic disruption following Nigeria’s government elections in February 2023 and the subsequent change of presidential administrations. We believe the exchange rate between the Naira and U.S. Dollar has now begun to stabilize and that the actions of Nigeria’s new government will ultimately improve economic stability and deliver economic growth for the country. We also expect the net revenues from the Comprehensive Platform Service to materially benefit from the distribution of the six million new Tingo Mobile handsets that have been ordered and partlially paid and are expected to be delivered to members of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria before the end of the third quarter.

Cost of revenues related to the Comprehensive Platform Service segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $87,826,000 and $185,282,000, respectively, as compared to $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is again attributable to the Tingo Mobile acquisition.

Gross profit related to the Comprehensive Platform Service segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $121,724,000 and $277,734,000 respectively, representing a gross margin of 58% and 60%, respectively. The gross margin of the Comprehensive Platform Service segment fell slightly for the second quarter as compared to the first quarter due to the combination of the impact of the devaluation of the Naira against the U.S. Dollar and the adverse impact of Nigeria’s economic instability, following its recent change of presidential administrations, on Nwassa’s revenues.

The profit from operations related to the Comprehensive Platform Service segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $97,215,000 and $229,289,000, respectively, as compared to nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is again attributable to the Tingo Mobile acquisition. The profit from the operations of the Comprehensive Platform Service segment was lower for the second quarter compared to the first quarter, which again was due to the combination of the impact of the devaluation of the Naira against the U.S. Dollar and the adverse impact on Nwassa’s revenues arising from Nigeria’s economic instability following its recent change of presidential administrations.


Food Processing

Net revenues related to the Food Processing segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $406,433,000 and $983,652,000, respectively, as compared to $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year increase is attributable to the Tingo Foods acquisition, which was completed on February 9, 2023, resulting in the inclusion of the revenues of Tingo Foods from the months of February and March and the full second quarter of 2023.

The segment’s net revenues for the second quarter were affected by the material devaluation of Nigeria’s currency following the Nigerian Government’s lifting of certain foreign exchange restrictions, which resulted in a devaluation of the Naira against the U.S. Dollar of 66.4%. This in turn resulted in a lower  U.S. Dollar conversion of the Naira revenue of Tingo Foods. The Food Processing segment was also further adversely affected in the second quarter by the economic disruption following Nigeria’s government elections in February 2023 and the subsequent change of presidential administrations. We believe that the exchange rate between the Naira and U.S. Dollar has now begun to stabilize and that the actions of Nigeria’s new government will ultimately improve economic stability and deliver economic growth to the country.

Cost of revenues related to the Foods Processing segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $254,008,000 and $602,903,000, respectively, as compared to $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is again attributable to the Tingo Foods acquisition and the inclusion of its cost of revenues, which relate to the cost of the purchase of raw crops and the processing of those crops into finished food products from the months of February and March and the full second quarter of 2023.

Gross profit related to the Food Processing segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $152,425,000 and $380,749,000, respectively, representing 37% and 39% margin. The gross margin of the Food Processing segment fell slightly for the second quarter as compared to the first quarter due to the impact of the devaluation of the Naira against the dollar and the related increases in processing costs that could not be passed on immediately to customers.

The profit from operations related to the Food Processing segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $60,370,000 and $203,815,000, respectively. The increase is again attributable to the Tingo Foods acquisition. The profit from the operations of the Food Processing segment fell for the second quarter, which again was due to the combination of the impact of the devaluation of the Naira against the U.S. Dollar and the related increases in processing costs and distribution costs that could not be passed on immediately to customers.

LossAs result of the decision above, the Company also considered the need for impairment of its assets.

These reviews and the subsequent revisions in the projections highlighted challenges for the and Technology segment and Online Stock Trading segment as a result of performance below expectations due to the impact of modified consumer shopping behavior in the post-COVID-19 period.

Our profit from operations in the second quarter was materially affected by the impact on the revenues and profitability of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods from the significant devaluation of Nigeria’s currency against the U.S. Dollar, which ensued following the Nigerian Government’s lifting of certain foreign exchange restrictions. This resulted in a devaluation of the Naira of 66.4% against the U.S. Dollar.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have funded our operations with proceeds from the sales of shares of our Common Stock, which we undertook in November 2020 and February and March 2021. As of June 30, 2022,2023, our total cash and cash equivalents balance was $76,053,000,$53,195,000, as compared to $94,930,000$500,316,000 as of December 31, 2021.2022. This reflects a decrease of $18,877,000$447,121,000 in cash and cash equivalents which relates to the operations of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods, and fluctuations of Nigerian Naira against U.S. dollar for the reasons described below.six months ended June 30, 2023. Notwithstanding the material levels of cash balances held by Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods, it should be noted that the majority of the cash is held at banks in Nigeria, and there are certain foreign currency and exchange restrictions in place that limit the conversion of such cash into US Dollars and other currencies. As stated in numerous recent Company announcements, we have adopted a strategy to dollarize the business of Tingo Mobile, with the goal of generating or converting a higher portion of income in US Dollars, including through the Tingo DMCC commodity trading platform and export business, where produce is paid for primarily in Naira and sales are made primarily in US Dollars or other freely tradeable currencies; as well as through expansion into other countries that have freely tradeable currency, such as Ghana, Malawi and Dubai; and through the launch of TingoPay in partnership with Visa. In addition, the Company, with the assistance of its banks in Nigeria, is progressing applications to the Central Bank of Nigeria to convert significant amounts of its Naira cash balances into U.S. Dollars, and transfer such U.S. Dollars to the Company’s bank accounts in the U.S.

The Company’s operations are cash generative following the acquisition of Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods. There is however the possibility that the Company may seek to raise external financing in the future, if required to fund its growth plans and expansion strategy

Even taking into account the foreign exchange restrictions on the Naira cash balances held in Tingo Mobile, based on our current operating plan we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, as of June 30, 2023, will be sufficient to fund our currently projected operating expenses for at least the next 12 months.

Change in Cash and Liquidity from March 31, 2023. The Company’s operating activities generated a net cash inflow during the period. The Company did however make several significant substantial investments and outlays into fixed assets and stock purchases, which combined with the devaluation of the Naira against the U.S. Dollar, resulted in a short-term reduction in our cash and cash equivalents from $780,153,000 as of March 31, 2023, to $53,195,000 on June 30, 2023. The change in our cash position was principally due to the following:

Change in the official NGN-USD exchange rate. On June 14, 2023, the Nigerian Central Bank announced that it would allow the Nigerian Naira to float against major world currencies. The effective rate of exchange increased from NGN 460.35 on March 31, 2023, to 770.38 as of June 30, 2023. Because a substantial portion of our cash balances are held in Naira but expressed in U.S. dollars, we incurred a loss on foreign exchange of $114,001,000 during the quarter.

Prepayment on purchase of mobile phone handsets. During the second quarter of 2023, we paid our supplier of mobile phone handsets, $434,224,000 as a prepayment toward the manufacture of six million units for distribution to new customers of Tingo Mobile, which have been and continue to be refereed by All Farmers Association of Nigeria under the terms of the trade agreement signed with them on October 20, 2022.

Prepayments for stock for Tingo Foods. On June 30, 2023, we prepaid the amount of $140,190,555 to All Farmers Association of Nigeria for the purchase of agricultural produce stock that was subsequently delivered, processed and sold. Taking into account the payables balance due to All Farmers Association of Nigeria on March 31, 2023, which amounted to $195,945,446, the net cash movement on the Tingo Foods account with All Farmers Association of Nigeria amounted to $336,136,001 during the second quarter, resulting in a decrease in our cash reserves of the corresponding amount. 

Working capital funding on export trades for Tingo DMCC. During the second quarter of 2023, we self-funded agricultural stock purchases for our export business in Tingo DMCC in the amount of $225,801,657 using the exchange rate as of the date of the payment. The revenue receipts for these trades are expected to be received during the third quarter of 2023.

Tax Payments. During the second quarter of 2023, we paid income taxes on the taxable profits of Tingo Mobile for 2022, which amounted to NGN 73,808,855,344, together with an education tax payment in the amount of NGN 6,088,740,636, which equated to approximately $174,000,000.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations

The Nigerian Naira and the RMB represents the largest foreign currency denomination of our contractual and operational exposure. As a result, a portion of our revenue and expenses are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. We have translated the Naira and the RMB into U.S. dollars using the following average exchange rates based on data obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP, we provide 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 reflectEBITDA reflects 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 provideEBITDA is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. The Company believes EBITDA is useful information to investors infor the purposes of comparing our results period-to-period and alongside peers and understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as our management team and board of directors.

These supplemental measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in comparingconjunction with, the GAAP financial results across accounting periodsmeasures presented. In addition, since these non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, they are susceptible to varying calculations and may not be comparable to thoseother similarly titled non-GAAP measures of peerother companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures doEBITDA does 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.

EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, less net income attributable to non-controlling interests, plus the sum of income tax expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

The non-GAAP adjustments, andfollowing is a reconciliation of net profit (loss), the basis for excluding them frommost directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:measure) for each of the periods indicated.

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.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Executive Officer(together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and Principal Financial Officer, respectively), regardingwith the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’sdesign and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (asas defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2022 and managementAct. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting is not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.June 30, 2023 were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company identified certain material weaknesses inAs permitted by SEC guidance, management has excluded from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2021 as described in the last Form 10-Q filed with the SECinternal controls related to Tingo Foods acquired on July 25, 2022. With provinces opening again within the PRC, MICT is in the processFebruary 9, 2023. As 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 mappingJune 30, 2023, total assets and total operating revenues excluded from management’s assessment 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 related to this Tingo Foods represented approximately 21% and 54% of the Company’s consolidated total assets and total operating revenues, respectively.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings. 

 

There are no open legal proceeding asThe Company is subject to litigation arising from time to time in the ordinary course of June 30, 2022 and as of today. its business.

 

On April 18, 2023, the Investors filed the Motion against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”), requesting that the Court order the Company to purchase certain Warrants from the Investors at the Black Scholes Value of $13,425,727.30. The Investors hold the Warrants issued pursuant to the SPAs that the Company is to purchase at their Black Scholes Value upon the Investors’ demand and after a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the Warrants). According to the Investors, the Merger described herein constituted a Fundamental Transaction. The Company initially was of the view that the Merger was not a Fundamental Transaction. However, upon further reflection, the Company concluded that the Investors were correct, and filed a response agreeing that a Fundamental Transaction had occurred, that the Investors were entitled to the Black Scholes Value of their Warrants and requested that the Court enter an order directing the Company to pay the Investors accordingly. The day after the Company filed its response, the Investors claimed to rescind their demand for the Black Scholes Value of their Warrants, pursuant to a provision in the SPAs that they say entitles them to do so. After the Investors purported to rescind their demand for the Black Scholes Value of their Warrants and attempted to unilaterally withdraw their Motion, the Investors sought to exercise certain of the Warrants. The Company rejected Investors’ exercise notices and filed a counterclaim alleging that Investors did not have the right to exercise the Warrants because the Motion by which they sought to compel the Company to purchase the Warrants could not be unilaterally withdrawn and was still pending. Investors then filed an Amended Complaint seeking declaratory relief and unspecified “millions” in damages plus attorney’s fees, based on the Company’s failure to honor their exercise of certain of their warrants. On July 3, 2023, the Court issued an order (the “Order”) directing the Company to deposit 13,167,641 shares with the Court to serve as security for any judgment Plaintiffs may obtain in the action. On July 19, 2023, the Company filed a motion to vacate the Order, which is currently scheduled for September 14, 2023. The litigation is ongoing.

On June 8, 2023, two putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company, Dozy Mmobuosi, Darren Mercer, and Kevin Chen. The first complaint was filed by Christopher Arbour, individually and on behalf of a class of “persons or entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Tingo securities between March 31, 2023, and June 6, 2023.” The second was filed the same day by Mark Bloedor, individually and on behalf of a class of “all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Common Stock between December 1, 2022, and June 6, 2023.” Both complaints are based entirely on the allegations in the Hindenburg short seller report issued on June 6, 2023, following which the Company’s stock price declined by nearly 50 percent. Relying solely on the allegations in the Hindenburg report, both complaints allege defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and the individual defendants violated Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act. The Company and individual defendants deny the allegations in the complaints and intend to vigorously defend the actions. Following the publication of the Hindenburg report, the Company’s independent directors retained independent counsel to conduct an investigation of the Hindenburg allegations.
