NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(USD in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
MICT Inc., (“we”, or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. On July 13, 2018, following the sale of its former subsidiary Enertec Systems Ltd., the Company changed the Company name from Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. to MICT, Inc. Our shares of common stock have been listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, since April 29, 2013.
The Company’s business relates to its ownership interest in its Israel-based subsidiary, Micronet Ltd., or Micronet. Micronet operates in the growing commercial Mobile Resource Management, or MRM, market. Micronet, through both its Israeli and U.S. operational offices, designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”). As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a subsequent public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was further diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%, which was later increased as described herein. The initial decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the deconsolidation of Micronet’s operating results from our financial statements as of February 24, 2019. Therefore, commencing on February 24, 2019, the Company accounted for its ownership in Micronet in accordance with the equity method. As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized a net gain of $299,000 in February 2019.
On June 10, 2020, the Company announced that MICT Telematics Ltd. will own, assuming that all of the ordinary shares offered in the tender offer were purchased, 45.53% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Also on June 10, 2020, the Company further informed Micronet that, assuming that the full subscription of such tender offer is accepted, the Company intends to, but shall not be required to, participate in a public offering of Micronet’s ordinary shares, pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $900,000 of such shares.
Subsequently, on June 23, 2020, the Company announced that, as a result of (i) the completion of the tender offer, in which 5,999,996 of Micronet’s ordinary shares were purchased for aggregate proceeds of NIS 1,800,000 (or $515,000), and (ii) the closing of the public offering, in which the Company purchased 10,334,000 of Micronet’s ordinary shares for total consideration of NIS 3,100,200 (or $887,000), the Company currently owns 53.39% of Micronet’s outstanding ordinary shares. the company expects to continue to maintiena controlling interest in Micronet in the future.
On July 1, 2020, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated, and the Consideration Note was issued to GFH.

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Cont.)
On November 7, 2019, the Company, GFH Intermediate Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company, or Intermediate, and MICT Merger Subsidiary Inc., a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, or Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Original Agreement”).
In June 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from the Company $2,000,000 of convertible notes (the “BNN Notes”), which were issued on July 31, 2019. The BNN Notes, which were initially convertible into up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock, were sold together with certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock. On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into the Conversion Agreement with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to convert all outstanding BNN Notes in the amount of $2,000,000 into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1.10 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).
On June 4, 2019, the Company commenced an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), by entering into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold, in multiple closings, 3,181,818 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Offering”). The Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of common stock of the Company, was issued together with certain preferred warrants (the “Series A Preferred Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,000,000 to the Company.
On July 29, 2019, the Company completed the first closing in the Preferred Offering, pursuant to which it sold 2,386,363 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 3,579,544 accompanying Series A Preferred Warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,250,000. The Company paid an aggregate of $420,000 in fees with respect to this closing of the Preferred Offering.

The Company paid an aggregate of $140,000 in fees with respect to this closing of the Preferred Offering.

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Cont.)
On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Primary Purchase Agreement”), with certain investors (the “Primary Purchasers”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Primary Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from us 5% senior secured convertible debentures due during 2020 (the “Primary Convertible Debentures”) with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $15,900,000 (the “Primary Convertible Debenture Offering”). The proceeds of $15,900,000 from the sale of the Primary Convertible Debentures were funded on January 21, 2020. Concurrently with entry into the Primary Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a separate Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Non-Primary Purchase Agreement”) and, together with the Primary Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreements, with certain investors (the “Non-Primary Purchasers”, and, together with the Primary Purchasers, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Non-Primary Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Non-Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from us 5% senior secured convertible debentures due during 2020 (the “Non-Primary Convertible Debentures”, and, together with the Primary Convertible Debentures, the “Convertible Debentures”, with an aggregate principal amount of $9,000,000, together with the Primary Convertible Debenture Offering, the “Convertible Debenture Offering”). The Convertible Debentures were convertible into our shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.41 per share. The Primary Purchasers exercised their right to an optional redemption pursuant to Section 6(b) of each Primary Convertible Debenture and declared the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, each of which accelerated the Company’s obligation to repay all outstanding balances under the Primary Convertible Debentures (the “Optional Redemption”). On March 16, 2020, the Outstanding Principle was transferred from the Company to the Purchasers. As a result, the Primary Purchase Agreement was terminated.
On April 15, 2020, the Company, Intermediate, GFH and MICT Merger Subsidiary Inc., a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT (“Merger Sub”) entered into the Restated Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Restated Merger Agreement, upon closing, Merger Sub merged with and into Intermediate, with Intermediate continuing as the surviving entity, and each outstanding share of Intermediate was cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $25,000,000 (the “Consideration Note”), which is convertible into shares of our common stock (collectively, the “Acquisition”). The Consideration Note, under certain circumstances, is automatically convertible into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price of $1.10 per share. The Restated Merger Agreement amended and restated the Original Agreement in its entirety.
On April 21, 2020, the Company entered into a series of Note Purchase Agreements (the “April Purchase Agreements”), with certain investors (the “PIPE Purchasers”), pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the April Purchase Agreement, to purchase from the Company certain convertible notes (the “April Convertible Notes”), with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $11,000,000 (the “April Convertible Note Offering”). The April Convertible Notes shall be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.10 per share (the “April Conversion Shares”). Approximately $8,000,000 of the April Convertible Notes will be due two years from the date of issuance, while approximately $3,000,000 of the April Convertible Notes will be due five years from the date of issuance. The Company is obligated to pay interest to the PIPE Purchasers on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 1.0% per annum, payable on each conversion date, in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of its common stock. On April 2020, the Company received an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,400,000 and in May and June 2020, and we received an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2,950,000 in connection therewith, which will be due two years from the date of issuance. The Company paid an aggregate of $200,000 in fees with respect to this closing of the April Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $2,650,000 of the Convertible Notes have not yet been received and there can be no assurance that we will ever receive the proceeds expected to be realized in connection therewith.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed, unaudited, consolidated financial statements and condensed footnotes have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for fair statement of results for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year 2020 or for other interim periods or for future years. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 is derived from unaudited financial statements as of that date; and it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Furthermore, from February 24, 2019 until June 23, 2020, the Company accounted for its ownership in Micronet in accordance with the equity method; and therefore, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year 2020 or for other interim periods or for future years.
The Company’s operations and business have experienced disruptions due to, among other things, the unprecedented conditions surrounding the spread of the COVID-19 virus throughout North America, Israel and the world. While the Company expects the COVID-19 pandemic to have an impact on its business operations and financial results, the extent of the impact on the Company’s business, its corporate development objectives, its financial position and the value of and market for its common stock will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, such as the ultimate duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing and business closure requirements in the United States, Israel, or elsewhere, as well as the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain and treat the disease. Notably, COVID-19 and measures implemented to reduce the spread of the virus have limited access to the Company’s offices and have disrupted its normal interactions with certain of its accounting personnel, legal advisors, auditors and others. Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the global economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results in the future will depend on future developments related to the spread of COVID-19 which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The consequences of COVID-19, when combined with other events or conditions over which we have little or no control, may create a material uncertainty as to Micronet’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to monitor the situation closely, but given the uncertainty, management cannot estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's financial statements or operations.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Note 3 — Loans from others
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into the Conversion Agreement with BNN pursuant to which BNN agreed to convert the outstanding BNN Note in the amount of $2,000,000 into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series B Preferred Stock.
On April 21, 2020, the Company entered into the April Purchase Agreements with the PIPE Purchasers, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the April Purchase Agreement, to purchase from the Company the April Convertible Notes, with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $11,000,000. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $2,650,000 of the April Convertible Notes have not yet been received, and there can be no assurance that we will ever receive the proceeds expected to be realized in connection therewith.
12
Note 4 — Stockholders’ Equity
On June 4, 2019, the Company commenced an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), by entering into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold, in multiple closings, 3,181,818 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Offering”). The Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of common stock of the Company, was issued together with certain preferred warrants (the “Series A Preferred Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,000,000 to the Company.
On July 29, 2019, the Company completed the first closing in the Preferred Offering, pursuant to which it sold 2,386,363 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 3,579,544 accompanying Series A Preferred Warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,250,000. The Company paid an aggregate of $420,000 in fees with respect to this closing of the Preferred Offering. Additionally, in January 2020, the Company completed a second closing of the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to which it sold 795,455 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,193,183 accompanying Preferred Warrants to purchase up to 1,084,712 shares of the Company’s common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,750,000. The Company paid an aggregate of $140,000 in fees with respect to this closing of the Preferred Offering.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at the option of each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time, and shall also convert automatically upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company shall also have the option to redeem some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time, beginning on December 31, 2019 subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class on as-converted basis, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock holding a majority-in-interest of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to appoint an independent director to the Company’s board of directors. The Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement provides for customary registration rights. Such registration rights remain outstanding and to date no resale registration statement has been filed with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock.
The Series A Preferred Warrants have an exercise price of $1.01 (subject to customary adjustment in the event of future stock dividends, splits and the like) and are exercisable immediately, until the earlier of (i) two years from the date of issuance or (ii) the later of (a) 180 days after the closing by the Company of a change of control transaction, or (b) the company’s next debt or equity financing of at least $20,000,000.

NOTE 5 — LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY
As of December 31, 2018, we held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%. The initial decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the loss of control of Micronet. As a result, commencing on February 24, 2019, the Company no longer accounted for its ownership in Micronet in its financial statements. Commencing on February 24, 2019, the Company began to account for its ownership in Micronet in accordance with the equity method.
The method used for determining fair value of the investment in Micronet was based on a quoted market price on the TASE.
14
NOTE 6 — GAIN OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY- Micronet Acquisition
On June 23, 2020, the company completed the special tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), in which the Company successfully purchased 5,999,996 shares of Micronet’s ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”), in the aggregate amount of NIS 1,800,000 (or $515,000) offered in the Tender Offer, which brought MICT’s ownership interest up to 45.53%.
Also on June 23, 2020, MICT purchased an additional 10,334,000 shares of Micronet’s Ordinary Shares in the aggregate amount of NIS 3,100,000 (or $887,000), which brought MICT’s ownership interest up to 53.39%. Accordingly, MICT obtained voting control over Micronet and, as a result, MICT applied purchase accounting (see the table below) and began to consolidate Micronet beginning on such date. MICT recognized a $665,000 gain on previously held equity in Micronet.
There are material uncertainties related to events or conditions such as: (i) the effects of COVID-19 on Micronet’s overall business (ii) recent accumulated losses, (iii) historical working capital deficiencies, (iv) the significant decrease in demand for the company's products, which results in a delay in the receipt of new orders and, consequently, a lack of sufficient backlog, and (v) a significant slowdown in the business activities of the global economy. The above reasons, among others, create a material uncertainty and cast substantial doubt upon Micronet’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 7 — Loan to Micronet Ltd.
On September 19, 2019, MICT Telematics entered into a loan agreement with Micronet, pursuant to which MICT Telematics loaned Micronet $250,000 (the “First Loan”), on certain terms and conditions. The proceeds from the First Loan were designated, per the terms of the First Loan, for Micronet’s working capital and general corporate needs. The First Loan did not bear any interest and was due and payable upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2019; or (ii) at such time Micronet receives an investment of at least $250,000 from non-related parties.
In view of Micronet’s working capital needs, on November 18, 2019, the Company entered into an additional loan agreement with Micronet for the loan of $125,000 (the “Second Loan”), pursuant to terms and conditions identical to those governing the First Loan, including the repayment terms. Accordingly, prior to the approval of the Convertible Loan by Micronet’s shareholders on January 1, 2020, the Company had transferred to Micronet, pursuant to the First Loan and Second Loan, a total sum of $375,000.
On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan to Micronet $500,000 in the aggregate (the “Initial Convertible Loan”). The Initial Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95% calculated and is paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Initial Convertible Loan, if not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of the Initial Convertible Loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent quarter thereafter, such that the Initial Convertible Loan shall be repaid in full upon the lapse of 24 months from its grant. In addition, the outstanding principal balance of the Initial Convertible Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at the Company’s option, at a conversion price equal to 0.38 NIS per Micronet share. Pursuant to the Initial Convertible Loan agreement, Micronet also agreed to issue the Company an option to purchase up to one of Micronet’s ordinary shares for each ordinary share that it issued as a result of a conversion of the Initial Convertible Loan (“Convertible Loan Warrant”), at an exercise price of 0.60 NIS per share, exercisable for a period of 15 months. On January 1, 2020, the Initial Convertible Loan transaction was approved at a general meeting of the Micronet shareholders and as a result thereof, Convertible Loan and the transactions contemplated thereby went into effect. As further amended on May 14, 2020 and on May 27, 2020, Micronet and the Company entered into amendments to the Initial Convertible Loan (the “Amended Convertible Loan”), to amend the conversion price and exercise price, as the case may be, to 0.14 NIS and subsequently to 0.16 NIS, which, is subject to the approval of the Micronet shareholders. On June 25, 2020 Micronet’s shareholders did not approve the Amendments to the Initial Convertible Loan and the Second Convertible Loan (as defined below). As a result of such voting results, the terms of the Initial Convertible Loan remained unchanged.
On January 1, 2020, the Convertible Loan agreement was approved at the general meeting of Micronet’s shareholders. At such time, the First Loan and Second Loan were repaid to us and the remaining amount due to be loaned under the Convertible Loan, in the sum of $125,000, was loaned to Micronet.
The Company recognized an impairment loss on financial assets derived from the measurement performed by comparing the quoted market price of Micronet’s shares on the TASE at its carrying value. As of March 30, 2020, the Company recorded a financial expense on the Convertible Loan in the amount of $272,000, and the company canceled the recording of this impairment in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the consolidation Micronet.

Overview
The Company’s business relates to its ownership interest in its Israel-based subsidiary, Micronet Ltd., (“Micronet”).

As of December 31, 2018, the Company held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”). As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was further diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%. The initial decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the deconsolidation of Micronet’s operating results from our financial statements as of February 24, 2019. Therefore, commencing on February 24, 2019, the Company accounted for its ownership in Micronet in accordance with the equity method. As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized a net gain of $299,000 in February 2019.
In June 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from the Company $2,000,000 of convertible notes (the “BNN Notes”), which issued on July 31, 2019. The BNN Notes, convertible into up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock, were sold together with certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock.

GAIN OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY- Micronet Acquisition
On June 23, 2020, the company consummated the Tender Offer, pursuant to which it purchased 5,999,996 shares of Micronet’s ordinary shares in the aggregate amount of NIS 1,800,000 (or $515,000) offered in the Tender Offer, which brought MICT’s ownership interest up to 45.53%.
Also, on June 23, 2020, MICT purchased an additional 10,334,000 shares of Micronet’s Ordinary Shares in the aggregate amount of NIS 3,100,200 (or $887,000), which brought MICT’s ownership interest up to 53.39%. Accordingly, MICT obtained voting control over Micronet and, as a result, MICT applied purchase accounting (see the table below) and began to consolidate Micronet beginning on such date. MICT recognized a $665,000 gain from consolidation.
There are material uncertainties related to events or conditions such as: (i) the effects of COVID-19 on Micronet’s overall business (ii) recent accumulated losses, (iii) historical working capital deficiencies, (iv) the significant decrease in demand for the company's products, which results in a delay in the receipt of new orders and, consequently, a lack of sufficient backlog, and (v) a significant slowdown in the business activities of the global economy. The above reasons, among others, create a material uncertainty and cast significant doubt upon Micronet’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist them with the valuation of the intangible assets that are detailed in the schedule below.
Purchased identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives.

Loans Provided by Us
On September 19, 2019, MICT Telematics Ltd., or MICT Telematics, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement with Micronet, pursuant to which MICT Telematics loaned Micronet $250,000, on certain terms and conditions (the “First Loan”).
In view of Micronet’s working capital needs, on November 18, 2019, we entered into an additional loan agreement with Micronet for the loan of $125,000, pursuant to terms and conditions identical to those governing the First Loan, including the repayment terms (the “Second Loan”). Accordingly, prior to the approval of the Initial Convertible Loan by Micronet’s shareholders on January 1, 2020, we transferred to Micronet, pursuant to the First and Second Loan, a total sum of $375,000. On January 1, 2020, the Initial Convertible Loan agreement was approved at the general meeting of Micronet’s shareholders. At such time, the First Loan and Second Loan were repaid to us and the remaining amount due to be loaned under the Initial Convertible Loan, in the sum of $125,000, was loaned to Micronet.
The Company recognized a loss on financial assets derived from a measurement preformed to the Initial Convertible Loan. As of March 31, 2020, we recorded a financial expense on the Initial Convertible Loan of $272,000. The company canceled the recorded of this impairment in the second quarter of 2020.
On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan to Micronet $500,000 in the aggregate (the “Initial Convertible Loan”). The Initial Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95% calculated and is paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Initial Convertible Loan, if not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of the Initial Convertible Loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent quarter thereafter, such that the Initial Convertible Loan shall be repaid in full upon the lapse of 24 months from its grant. In addition, the outstanding principal balance of the Initial Convertible Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at the Company’s option, at a conversion price equal to 0.38 NIS per Micronet share. Pursuant to the Initial Convertible Loan agreement, Micronet also agreed to issue the Company an option to purchase up to one of Micronet’s ordinary shares for each ordinary share that it issued as a result of a conversion of the Initial Convertible Loan (the “Convertible Loan Warrant”), at an exercise price of 0.60 NIS per share, exercisable for a period of 15 months. On May 14, 2020, as further amended on May 27, 2020, we and Micronet entered into an amendment to the Initial Convertible Loan (the “Amended Convertible Loan”), which is subject to the approval of the Micronet shareholders.
On May 14, 2020, as amended effective as of May 21, 2020, we entered into a loan agreement with Micronet, pursuant to which we agreed to loan Micronet $500,000 on certain terms and conditions (the “Second Convertible Loan”). The Second Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of interest of 3.95% per year, calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. The Second Convertible Loan is due and payable in four equal installments, on a quarterly basis, with the first such payment due within 10 days after the end of Micronet’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021 (such that the first repayment would be made by April 10, 2021), and in any event shall be paid in full by the 24 month anniversary of the grant date of the Second Convertible Loan; provided, however, that the Company, at its discretion, may convert any or all of the Second Convertible Loan into ordinary shares of Micronet at a conversion price of 0.16 NIS (and in accordance with the U.S. dollar to NIS exchange rate in effect as of the closing date of the Loan), per ordinary share of Micronet. In addition, the Company shall receive a warrant (the “Second Convertible Loan Warrant”), to purchase one ordinary share of Micronet for every ordinary share into which the Second Convertible Loan is converted. The Second Convertible Loan Warrants, if any, are exercisable for a term of 15 months from their date of grant at an exercise price of 0.16 NIS per Ordinary Share of Micronet.
On June 25, 2020 Micronet’s shareholders did not approve the Amendments to the Initial Convertible Loan and the Second Convertible Loan. As a result of such voting results, the terms of the Initial Convertible Loan will not change, and the Second Convertible Loan will not be subject to conversion by the Company, and no warrants were issued thereunder.
26
Further, effective as of May 27, 2020, the Company and Micronet entered into the Amended Convertible Loan, to amend the terms of the Initial Convertible Loan and the Convertible Loan Warrant so that the Conversion Price for the Initial Convertible Loan and the exercise price for the Amended Convertible Loan Warrant would each be 0.16 NIS per ordinary share of Micronet.

The Loan Sum will fund the working capital and general corporate purposes required by Micronet Ltd. and may only be used for such purpose. The Loan did not bear any interest.
Debt Repayment
As of June 30, 2020, our total debt was $9,337,000 as compared to $1,856,000 on December 31, 2019. The increase in total debt is due to: (i) the conversion of the BNN Note on January 21, 2020, previously issued on July 31, 2019, into 1,818,181 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock on February 3, 2020; (ii) the consolidation of Micronet Ltd. as from June 23, 2020; and (iii) the April Convertible Note, pursuant to which we issued April Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,400,000, which will be due two years from the date of issuance.
Total Current Assets, Trade Accounts Receivable and Working Capital
As of June 30, 2020, our total current assets were $13,405,000, as compared to $4,417,000 on December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily due to (i) the increase in cash and cash equivalents as a result from the April Convertible Notes, and (ii) the consolidation of Micronet from June 23, 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, our working capital was $1,010,000, as compared to $4,127,000 at December 31, 2019. The decrease is mainly due to the consolidated of Micronet from June 23, 2020.
Our working capital would increase if the $477,000 of proceeds from the sale of our previously wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec, are released from escrow pursuant to a certain purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), with Coolisys Technologies Inc., or Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW Holdings, Inc., or DPW.
In conjunction with, and as a condition to, the closing of such transaction, the Company, Enertec, Coolisys, DPW and Mr. David Lucatz, our former Chief Executive Officer and currently a director, executed a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”), whereby we, via Mr. Lucatz, will provide Enertec with certain consulting and transitional services over a 3 year period as necessary and requested by the Coolisys (but in no event to exceed 20% of Mr. Lucatz’s time). Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Coolisys (via Enertec) is obligated to pay us an annual consulting fee of $150,000 (the “Annual Consulting Fee”), as well as issue us 150,000 restricted shares of DPW Class A common stock (the “DPW Equity”), for such services, to be vested and released from restriction in three equal installments, with the initial installment vesting the day after the closing and the remaining installments vesting on each of the first 2 anniversaries of the closing. In the event of a change of control in the Company, or if Mr. Lucatz shall no longer be employed by us, the rights and obligations under the Consulting Agreement shall be assigned to Mr. Lucatz along with the DPW Equity. Although Mr. Lucatz is no longer an employee of the Company, because he currently serves as a director, we continue to expect Coolisys (via Enertec) to be obligated to pay us for the Annual Consulting Fee.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Coolisys and the Company are in dispute in connection with the sale of the Enertec shares to Coolisys. As a result of such dispute, the Escrow Amount remains in escrow following an indemnification claim issued by Coolisys, alleging that certain misrepresentations in the Share Purchase Agreement resulted in losses to Coolisys of at least $4,000,000.
As a result of such dispute, the Annual Consulting Fee has not been paid and the DPW Equity was never issued to us. The Company reserve its rights against Coolisys in such matter.
On July 21, 2020, MICT Management Ltd ., a wholly owned subsidiary of the company and the company (the “seller parties”) received a statement of claim filed by Coolisys against the Seller Parties and the Board in the District Court of Tel Aviv in the amount of $2,500,000, asking, among other things, that the Court instruct the release of the Escrow Amount held by the Escrow Agent to Coolisys (the “Claim”). The Company intends to defend its position in court. An initial response is due to be filed on or before October 25, 2020. The Company and defendant directors have issued a notice of the Claim to its D&O insurance seeking for insurance coverage.

Financing Needs
The Company will be required to support its own operational financial needs, which include, among others, our general and administrative costs (such as for our various consultants in regulatory, tax, legal, accounting and other areas of business) and our financing costs related to the loans and funding instruments assumed by us.
The Company’s (and Micronet’s) operations and business have experienced disruptions due to, among other things, the unprecedented conditions surrounding the spread of the COVID-19 virus throughout North America, Israel and the world. While the Company expects the COVID-19 pandemic to have an impact on its (and Micronet’s) business operations and financial results, the extent of the impact on the Company’s (and Micronet’s) business, its corporate development objectives, its financial position and the value of and market for its common stock will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, such as the ultimate duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing and business closure requirements in the United States, Israel, or elsewhere, as well as the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain and treat the disease. Notably, COVID-19 and measures implemented to reduce the spread of the virus have limited access to the Company’s offices and have disrupted its normal interactions with certain of its accounting personnel, legal advisors, auditors and others. Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the global economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results in the future will depend on future developments related to the spread of COVID-19 which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The consequences of COVID-19, when combined with other events or conditions over which we have little or no control, may create a material uncertainty as to Micronet’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to monitor the situation closely, but given the uncertainty, management cannot estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's financial statements or operations.
Pursuant to the Tender Offer and the closing of the public offering, the Company currently owns 53.39% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of Micronet. Therefore, Micronet’s reports are consolidated in our financial statements as of June 23, 2020. Micronet believes that its highly innovative products, integrating powerful computing power, enhanced user interface and complete telematics features may create a new value proposition to telematics customers and allow Micronet to expand its reach into the fast growing segment of the telematics market, while increasing its SaaS revenues through software services.
COVID-19 has resulted in a material adverse effect on Micronet’s business and operation, results of operations and financial condition, due to, among other things, a delay in receiving customers’ orders and the general negative economic climate that has resulted from COVID-19 (see “Risk Factors” below for additional information).
Based on our current business plan, and in view of our cash balance following the transactions described in this Item 2, we anticipate that our cash balances will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations and carry out our contemplated business plans for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report. However, we do not know if as a result of COVID-19, or as a result of MICT Telematics purchasing all ordinary shares under the Amended Tender Offer, we may utilize our cash at a faster rate than currently anticipated. We may also satisfy our liquidity through the sale of our securities, either in public or private transactions, or through the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition. We intend to use such funds in order to sustain or expand our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including Mr. Darren Mercer, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Mrs. Moran Amran, the Company’s Controller (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
No change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
29
Please refer to our note on forward-looking statements on page 16 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated into this item by reference.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our 2019 Annual Report. The risks described in such 2019 Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

The Company will reimburse the Consultant for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that the Consultant incurs in providing any requested cooperation, so long as the Consultant provides advance written notice to the Company of the Consultant’s request for reimbursement and provides satisfactory documentation of the expenses.
5. Whistleblower. Nothing in Sections 3 or 4 shall prohibit the Consultant from reporting possible violations of applicable law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and any Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. The Consultant does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and the Consultant is not required to notify the Company that the Consultant has made such reports or disclosures. Consultant understands that by signing this Agreement, Consultant waives the right to any monetary recovery in connection with a local, state or federal governmental agency proceeding and Consultant waives the right to file a claim seeking monetary damages in any court, administrative agency or arbitral tribunal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Consultant from seeking or obtaining a whistleblower award from the Securities and Exchange Commission (and not the Company Parties) pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
6. Company Authorization. The Company represents and warrants to Consultant that this Agreement has been duly authorized, duly executed and delivered by an authorized signatory of the Company, and is the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company in accordance with its terms.

This Agreement may be amended only by a written document signed by both parties to this Agreement.

The Parties hereby agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts sitting in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10. Severability. If any section, subsection or provision hereof is found for any reason whatsoever to be invalid or inoperative, that section, subsection or provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the force and validity of any other provision of this Agreement. If any covenant herein is determined by a count to be overly broad thereby making the covenant unenforceable, the parties agree and it is their desire that such court shall substitute a reasonable judicially enforceable limitation in place of the offensive part of the covenant and that as so modified the covenant shall be as fully enforceable as if set for the herein by the parties themselves in the modified form.
11. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Consultant at the last address the Consultant has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of the Board.
