Overview

We provide rugged mobile devices for the growing commercial mobile resource management, or MRM, market and high tech solutions for severe environments and the battlefield, including missile defense technologies for the aerospace and defense markets. Our MRM division develops, manufactures and provides mobile computing platforms for the multibillion dollar mobile logistics management market in the U.S., Europe and Israel. American-manufactured systems are designed for outdoor and challenging work environments in trucking, distribution, logistics, public safety and construction. 

We operate through our Israel-based company, Micronet, in which we have a controlling interest, which develops, manufactures, integrates and globally markets rugged computers and tablets. 

Micronet is a publicly-traded company on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, and operates in the growing commercial MRM market and is a global developer, manufacturer and provider of mobile computing platforms, designed for integration into fleet management and mobile workforce management solutions. In June 2014, Micronet expanded its MRM business and operations in the U.S. market through the acquisition of Beijer Electronics Inc., or Beijer, a U.S.-based vehicle business and operations located in Utah, or the Vehicle Business, and as a result adding to its business U.S.-based facilities which include manufacturing and technical support infrastructure, sales and marketing capabilities as well as expanding its U.S. customer base and presence with local fleets and local MRM service providers. As a result of this acquisition, Micronet currently operates via its Israeli and U.S. facilities, the first located in Azur, Israel, near Tel Aviv, and the second located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

On December 31, 2017, we, Enertec and our previously wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW, pursuant to which we agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. Enertec met the definition of a component. Accordingly, its assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods results have been reclassified as discontinued operation.

On May 22, 2018, the Company closed on the sale, or the Closing, of all of the outstanding equity of its wholly owned subsidiary Enertec, pursuant to the terms of the previously reported Share Purchase Agreement.

At the Closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.7 million, of which 10% will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the Closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims. The final consideration amount was adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as a result of adjustments relating to certain Enertec’s debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4.0 million of Enertec’s debt. The Company’s capital gain from the sale of Enertec, based on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2018, was approximately $6.8 million. 

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

The descriptions of the Share Purchase Agreement and Consulting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Share Purchase Agreement and Consulting Agreement which have been filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 3, 2018.  

Our strategy is driven and focused on continued internal growth through diligent efforts in our traditional growing markets with new technologies and innovative systems and products as well as the development of new potential segments and markets. Concurrent with our efforts to grow organically and in line with our strategy, we will continue to seek acquisitions that will complement and expand our product offerings, support our goals and increase our competitiveness. In order to help achieve our internal growth, we have expanded our production capacity and facilities. Our current target markets, in which we concentrate the majority of our resources, include the Israeli domestic market, the U.S. market and the European market. 

In December 2015, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, announced the publication of the final rule and implementation schedule of its Electronic Logging mandate. The Electronic Logging mandate e requires interstate commercial truck and bus companies to use Electronic Logging Devices, or ELDs, in their vehicles to record their compliance with the safety rules that govern the number of hours a driver can work. Implementation of rule compliance will begin immediately, and full enforcement of the regulations commenced in 2017. 

The Electronic Logging mandate on ELDs potentially significantly impacts both drivers and trucking companies and offers an opportunity for the industry to increase the use of mobile technology to achieve better efficiencies while at the same time meet the new compliance requirements. In order to log their hours of service, or HOS, the mandate requires all long-haul drivers to use ELDs rather than the old paper forms. Using ELDs will assist drivers to accurately share reports of their HOS electronically in real time. We estimate based on the compliance requirements that since all drivers must be in compliance by 2019, a significant number of large trucking companies will need to purchase ELDs to meet the mandatory requirements of the mandate and hence the demand for ELD compliance devices and/or products will increase.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $4,701,000 and $10,681,000, respectively, compared to $3,763,000 and $6,464,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. This represents an increase of $938,000 and $4,217,000, or 25% and 65%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The increases in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is due to an increase in customer orders. As from the second half of 2017, there was a significant increase in the volume of orders that the Company received from its customers, against the background of an increase in the demand for the Company’s products in the target markets. The Company attributes the growth in revenues and the increase in demand for its products to the positive impact of the implementation of the Electronic Logging mandate on all market demand and the launch of new products related to the Electronic Logging mandate approved at the beginning of the year, which also contributed to the increase in orders received. However, the Company noted that the demand based on the Electronic Logging mandate has been less than we had previously expected and, as a result, we are experiencing a decrease in the number of orders and a deteriorating backlog.

Gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $759,000 and $2,107,000, respectively, to $1,532,000 and $3,254,000, and represents 32% and 30% of the revenues. This is in comparison to gross profit of $773,000 and $1,147,000, representing 21% and 18% of the revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The increases are mainly a result of increases in revenues as well as the implementation of Company related efficiency measures, which led to savings in the costs of payrolls, material and others, which were partially realized in the first half of 2018.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing costs are part of operating expenses. Selling and marketing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $380,000 and $834,000, respectively, compared to $458,000 and $850,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. This represents a decrease of $78,000 and $16,000, or 17% and 2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 respectively. The decreases are mainly due to decreases in salary expenses and travel expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs are part of operating expenses. General and administrative costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $1,314,000 and $2,526,000, respectively, compared to $925,000 and $2,044,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. This represents an increase of $389,000 and $482,000, or 42% and 23%, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 respectively. The increases are mainly a result of increases in expenses related to the Enertec’s sale, including professional expenses and bonuses paid to our Chief Executive Officer and certain consultants.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development costs, which mainly include wages, materials and sub-contractors, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $505,000 and $1,032,000, respectively, compared to $507,000 and $904,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. This represents a decrease of $2,000 and an increase of $128,000, or 0% and 14%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The change in research and development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is mainly due an increase of research and development employees.

Loss from operations

Our loss from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $883,000 and $1,576,000, respectively, or 19% and 15% of revenues, compared to loss from operations of $1,352,000 and $3,121,000, respectively, or 36% and 48% of revenues, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The decreases are mainly a result of increases in revenues and in gross margins as described above.

Financial Expenses, net

Financial expenses, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $460,000 and $852,000, respectively, compared to expenses of $103,000 and $43,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. This represents an increase of $357,000 and $809,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The increases in financial expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily due to changes in currency exchange rates and interest for the YA II loans.

Net loss attributed to MICT, Inc.

Our net income attributed to MICT, Inc. was $3,496,000 and $2,646,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1,331,000 and $2,943,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. This represents an increase in net income of $4,827,000 and $5,589,000, as compared to the same periods last year. The increases in net income are primarily attributed to the Closing of the sale of all of Enertec’s outstanding equity to Coolisys pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.

Discontinued operation 

As a result of the proposed sale of our Enertec subsidiary to Coolisys, we classified Enertec’s assets and liabilities as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods’ results have been reclassified as a discontinued operation. Enertec’s net loss decreased from $1,102,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, to a net profit of $4,894,000 for the five months ended May 22, 2018. The net loss for the five months ended May 22, 2018 was partially offset by the $6,844,000 capital gain realized from such sale, resulting in a net profit of $4,894,000.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

The following table reconciles, for the periods presented, GAAP net loss from continued operation attributable to MICT, Inc. to non-GAAP net loss attributable to MICT, Inc.:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company finances its operations through current revenues, loans and securities offerings. The loans are divided into bank loans and loans from YA II, as described below .

As of June 30, 2018, our total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was $4,462,000, as compared to $2,398,000 as of December 31, 2017. This reflects an increase of $2,064,000 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of the sale of Enertec to Coolisys.

On December 31, 2017, we, Enertec and our previously wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW, pursuant to which we agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. On May 22, 2018, the Company completed the Closing. At the Closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.7 million, of which 10% will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the Closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims. The final consideration amount was adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as a result of adjustments relating to certain Enertec’s debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4.0 million of Enertec’s debt.

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

On June 30, 2016, the Company and MICT Telematics entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with YA II, whereby YA II purchased $600,000 of notes from the Company, or the June 2016 Note.

On a quarterly basis commencing on October 10, 2016, the Company was required to make payments of $150,000 of principal plus accrued interest. All amounts payable were to be due on July 10, 2017, which was subsequently extended to December 31, 2017. We made the required payments due on December 31, 2017.

In addition, the Company agreed to accelerate a commitment fee of $50,000, payable pursuant to a First Supplemental Agreement dated December 22, 2016, to be paid at the closing of the December 2016 Note.

In connection with the Second Supplemental Agreement and issuance of the additional note, on June 8, 2017, we agreed to grant to YA II a five-year warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of our common stock. The warrant is exercisable at an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share of common stock for cash or on a cashless basis if no registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant is available. The warrant also provides for demand and piggyback registration rights.

On June 8, 2017, we entered into another note purchase agreement with YA II whereby YA II agreed to lend us $600,000 pursuant to an additional secured promissory note. The outstanding principal balance of the additional note bore interest at 7% per annum. The additional note was to mature on December 31, 2018, and we were to make payments of $100,000 on September 30, 2018, and $500,000 on December 31, 2018.

On August 22, 2017, the Company and MICT Telematics executed the Third Supplemental Agreement which supplements the Note Purchase Agreement executed by the parties on October 28, 2016, or the August 2017 Note. Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Agreement, we borrowed $1,500,000 from YA II pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note. The outstanding principal balance of the note bore interest at 7% per annum. The note was to mature on November 22, 2017. On November 19, 2017, the Company and YA II amended the maturity date of the August 2017 Note to February 15, 2018, and provided that the Company may extend such maturity date to January 15, 2019, at its sole discretion.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the notes), all amounts payable may be due immediately. In addition, if we receive any cash proceeds in connection with the sale or proposed sale of any of our holdings in any of our subsidiaries (if and to the extent such transaction is consummated) including without limitation, installment payments or break-up fee payments, we are required to pre-pay the outstanding balance of the note as soon as such proceeds are received. The notes are secured by a pledge of shares of Micronet owned by MICT Telematics.

On March 29, 2018, the Company and MICT Telematics executed and closed on a securities purchase agreement with YA II, whereby the Company issued and sold to YA II (1) certain Series A Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal aggregate amount of $3,200,000, which shall mature on October 1, 2019, and bears interest at 6% per annum, or the Series A Debentures, and (2) a Series B Convertible Debenture in the principal aggregate amount of $1,800,000, which shall mature on October 1, 2019 and bears interest at 6% per annum, or the Series B Debenture.

Pursuant to the terms of the Mercantile Loan Agreement: (1) approximately $3,050,000 of the Mercantile Loan bears interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 2.45%, or the Mercantile Long Term Portion, and (2) approximately $581,000 of the Mercantile Loan bears interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 1.7%, or the Mercantile Short Term Portion. The Mercantile Long Term Portion is due and payable in five equal consecutive annual installments beginning on July 1, 2015, and the interest on the Mercantile Long Term Portion is due and payable in ten equal consecutive annual installments beginning at January 1, 2015. The Mercantile Short Term Portion in the amount of approximately $581,000 bears interest of Prime plus 1.7%. The Mercantile Loan is secured mainly by (1) a negative pledge on Enertec’s assets, (2) a pledge of Enertec’s financial deposits which shall be equal to 25% of Enertec’s outstanding credit balance, and (3) a fixed charge of Micronet shares at such value equal to at least 200% of the outstanding net balance of the Mercantile Loan.

The Phantom Stock Option allows Mercantile Bank to theoretically exercise, on a cashless basis, options to purchase 1,144,820 shares of Micronet, or the Option Shares, and to receive a cash amount equal to the difference between approximately 4 million NIS, (representing 110 percent of the average market value of Micronet Option Shares during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the Mercantile Loan) and the actual market price of such Option Shares on the date of the exercise of the Phantom Stock Option. Pursuant to the Mercantile Loan Agreement, the parties further agreed that the potential gain to Mercantile Bank resulting from the Phantom Stock Option shall not exceed NIS 3,000,000. In the event the Mercantile Loan is repaid prior to the third anniversary of the Mercantile Loan, the gain to Mercantile Bank resulting from the Phantom Stock Option shall not exceed NIS 2 million. As of the date of the Mercantile Loan, the exercise price of the Phantom Stock Options is higher than the market price of the Option Shares. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of this Phantom Stock Option was less than $1,000.

On July 10, 2018, Micronet Ltd. received a loan from a bank in the amount of NIS 5 million, in accordance with a financing agreement dated March 25, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, our total current assets were $13,726,000, as compared to $25,308,000 at December 31, 2017. The decrease is mainly due to the Closing of the sale of all of Enertec’s outstanding equity to Coolisys pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.

Our trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 were $3,937,000 as compared to $5,183,000 at December 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to a provision for doubtful debt in Micronet and a better collection from customers.

As of June 30, 2018, our working capital was $7,156,000, as compared to $3,062,000 at December 31, 2017. The increase in the working capital is primarily due to the increase in our cash and cash equivalents.

As of June 30, 2018, our total debt, excluding any debt associated with our discontinued operation, was $5,221,000 as compared to $5,168,000 at December 31, 2017.

Our bank and other debt is composed of short-term loans amounting to $2,585,000 as of June 30, 2018 compared to $3,789,000 at December 31, 2017, and long-term loans amounting to $2,636,000 as of June 30, 2018 compared to $1,379,000 at December 31, 2017.

Our current debt includes our bank debt described above and loans from YA II :

Financing Needs

Although we currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, we expect our capital requirements to increase over the next several years as we continue to support the organic and non-organic growth of our business. Among other activities, we plan to develop, manufacture and market larger-scale solutions, support our growing manufacturing and finance needs, continue the development and testing of our suite of products and systems, increase management, marketing, and administration infrastructure, and embark on developing in-house business capabilities and facilities. Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to (1) the levels and costs of our research and development initiatives, (2) the cost of hiring, training and certifying additional highly skilled professionals (mainly engineers and technicians), and maintaining our management including sales and marketing personnel to promote our products, and (3) the cost and timing of the expansion of our development, manufacturing and marketing efforts.

In 2018, we expect to pay off the current portion of certain bank loans in the amount $115,000 and the YA II loans in the aggregate amount of $1,750,000, using our cash flow from our operations, until the proposed sale of Enertec is consummated, or possibly additional debt or equity financings.

On May 22, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., conducted the Closing of all of the outstanding equity of its wholly owned subsidiary Enertec, pursuant to the terms of the previously reported Share Purchase Agreement. At the Closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.7 million, of which 10% will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the Closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims. The final consideration amount was adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as a result of adjustments relating to certain Enertec’s debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4.0 million of Enertec’s debt. 

The Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-219596), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process, which was declared effective on November 8, 2017. Under this shelf registration process, the Company may, from time to time, sell common stock, warrants or units in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $30 million. To date, we have sold approximately $1,000,000 of our securities pursuant to our existing shelf registration statement.

On August 22, 2017, we entered into the 2017 SEDA for the sale of up to $10 million of shares of the Company’s common stock over a two-year commitment period. On May 9, 2018, we agreed to terminate the 2017 SEDA.

Based on our current business plan and existing loans, we anticipate that our existing cash balances and cash generated from future income will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations and carry out our contemplated business plans for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report. However, we believe that we may need to raise additional funds if we want to materially decrease our dependence on our existing cash and other liquidity resources. Currently, the only external sources of liquidity are our banks and the YA II loans, and we may seek additional financing from them or through securities offerings. We intend to use such funds in order to expand our operations, refinancing our various debts, develop new products, enhance existing products or respond to competitive pressures. However, we may also undertake additional debt or conduct equity financings (including sales of common stock, warrants or units under our shelf registration statement) to better enable us to grow and meet our future operating and capital requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to consummate such offerings on favorable terms or at all. Further, there is no assurance that we will be able to borrow additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect that is material to investors on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
