PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

OMNIQ Corp., a Delaware corporation, formerly Quest Solution, Inc., together with its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our,” “OMNIQ,” or the “Company,” was incorporated in 1973. Since its incorporation, the Company has been involved in various lines of business.

Our Company

From 2008 to 2013, we were in the business of developing oil and gas reserves. In January 2014, we determined it was in the best interest of our stockholders to focus on operating companies with a track record of positive cash flows and larger existing revenue bases. Our strategy developed into leveraging management’s relationships in the business world for investments for us.

Since 2014, we have made the following acquisitions resulting in us becoming a leading provider of computerized and machine vision image processing solutions:

We use patented and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology to deliver data collection, real time surveillance and monitoring for supply chain management, homeland security, public safety, traffic & parking management and access control applications. The technology and services we provide helps our clients move people, assets and data safely and securely through airports, warehouses, schools, national borders, and many other applications and environments.

We are an established manufacturer and distributor of barcode labels, tags, and ribbons, as well as RFID labels and tags. We provide printing solutions, credit card terminals, automatic kiosks and point of care units. We also offer technical service and support. Our highly tenured team of professionals has the knowledge and expertise to simplify the integration process for our customers, and our team delivers proven problem-solving solutions backed by numerous customer references. We offer comprehensive packaged and configurable software, and we are a leading provider of best-in-class mobile and wireless equipment.

Our customers include government agencies and leading Fortune 500 companies from diverse sectors, including healthcare, food and beverage, manufacturing, retail, distribution, transportation and logistics, and oil, gas, and chemicals. Since 2014, our annual consolidated revenues have grown to more than $100 million with clients in more than 40 countries. We currently address several billion-dollar markets with double-digit growth, including the Global Safe City market, forecasted to grow to $29.6 billion, and the Ticketless Safe Parking market, forecasted to grow to $5.2 billion by 2023.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to focus on operational excellence and cost reduction, addressing the balance sheet debt and putting together a business plan that is based on revenue growth and technological leadership. We intend to continue to identify synergies within the Company to offer a more complete line of products, services and technological solutions to customers throughout the United States and Israel. Furthermore, the market in which OMNIQ operates is undergoing consolidation and OMNIQ has started identifying strategic companies in the data collection, big data analytics and mobile systems integration market, as well as other complementary technologies for potential future acquisition in order to become the leading specialty integrator within our served markets.

We are a provider of products and solutions to two main markets: supply chain management and smart/safe city. We have expanded our product solutions, which are based on artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, offering computer vision applications. Our product offerings have established us as an innovative and technological company, and we are able to offer our Fortune 1000 customers an end-to-end solution. We are a pioneer in providing cutting-edge technology solutions to the markets we serve.

We provide consultative services to companies to select, design and manufacture the right label for their product offering. Once a company purchases our product, sales generally recur on a regular basis.

Our ground-breaking AI-based vision solutions are currently in use for sensitive Homeland Security anti-terror projects and automated parking solutions. Inspired by time-critical “friend or foe” decision-making processes, our patented algorithms are based on a combination of cognitive science and machine-learning-based pattern-recognition technology which is arbitrated through a multi-layered decision-making process that offers both speed and accuracy.

Our experienced team of consulting and integration professionals guide companies through the entire development and deployment process, from selecting technology, to the successful company-wide rollout of a customized solution that fits a company’s unique requirements.

As we focus on what we do best, we believe that there is more than adequate market size, growth, and opportunity available to the Company to succeed.

Core to the solutions offered by the Company is a full suite of configurable packaged software solutions that were internally developed and provide customers with unique solutions with significant business Return on Investment (“ROI”), including:

Order Entry: Software designed to increase productivity in the field. Remote workers increasingly demand rapid access to real-time information and up-to-date data to facilitate and streamline their job functions in the field—our Order Entry Software is the answer.

Intelligent Order Entry: Adds intelligence to aging order entry system to maximize profits. The hand-held industry is a vital link in getting remote orders from the field to corporate. Our Intelligent Order Entry Software adds this capability to aging order entry systems.

iTrack: Track Device Deployment. iTrack, an Internet Tracking System, is a management tool that tracks the deployment of hardware devices in the field and their repair history.

Warehouse: Enhances efficiency in distribution and manufacturing environments. The warehouse is a collection of applications for portable devices that extend the power of the existing system out to the warehouse floor and dock doors.

Our partnership with Hyperion Partners LLC and wireless carriers allows us to offer mobility solutions to our customers on platforms that extend the market into new mobile applications that previously were not being automated.

Media and Label Business: Repeatable easy order online purchasing portal. The largest segment of data collection opportunity for us is the barcode label market providing ongoing and repeatable purchasing business. We intend to continue in the label business in the United States of America to drive business growth and increased margins.

Our Target Markets

Two markets we serve are Smart/Safe City and Supply Chain Management. Our groundbreaking AI-based vision solutions are currently in use for sensitive Homeland Security anti-terror projects and discerning customers within the access control, airport, border crossing, municipality safety, and parking industries. We seek to utilize our expertise and end-to-end software solutions in markets which provide the greatest opportunity to increase margins.

Within the Supply Chain Management market, we believe we can further develop our existing customer base needing to replace their legacy systems with a new go-to-market strategy leveraging our field sales and system resources, telemarketing, customer portals, and vertical market and barcode label specialists. We believe the ideal candidates for our machine learning technology are our base of industry-leading customers for the barcode label and ribbon (media) products in the manufacturing, distribution, transportation and logistics, retail and healthcare sectors—which sectors are at the core of our business.

For over two decades, we have been successful in integrating mission critical mobile computing and data collection solutions for Fortune 1000 companies. The requirements and needs of our customers continue to evolve as they require new mobile and wireless technologies and services to make their business more competitive and profitable. The result is a continuous flow of opportunities to assist customers to evaluate, choose, implement, and support the right mobile and data collection solutions. As we focus on what we do best, we believe there is more than adequate market size, growth, and opportunity available for us to succeed.

We believe integrating our patented and proprietary AI technology into its existing Supply Chain offerings will allow for automated logistics monitoring and optimization, creating operational efficiencies at higher margins for us, and our Fortune 1000 clients.

Our Sales Strategy

Our direct sales teams are supported by systems engineers averaging over twenty (20) years of experience in the mobile industry. The sales organization’s growth in-reach mirrors the addition of new products and services. Sales team members are organized by industry areas of opportunity, areas of expertise, and territory. Our sales teams are organized to address national accounts offering a broad array of unique solutions for key lines of business applications, which provides opportunities for upsell and cross sell to our clients. For the barcode label (media) business, we utilize a specialty sales force, resellers, and distributors of our manufactured private label products. For the Israeli market we have direct sales teams that are organized by industry and product line. In Israel we also offer comprehensive technical service and support which increases customer confidence and supports the sales process.

Salespeople are supported internally by sales support personnel, who coordinate quotes and logistics, and by members of the systems engineering group and software teams.

The normal sales cycle is one (1) to six (6) months, and typically involves the development of a scope of work and preparation of a ROI analysis. We use Company developed analysis templates in order to reduce the sales cycle. The analyses and proposals include information on leasing and other financing options, which helps differentiate us from our competitors. The label business sales cycles are shorter, with purchases made more frequently on a transactional basis.

Competition

The mobile system integration market is characterized by a limited number of large competitors and numerous smaller niche players. We typically pursue larger accounts and national customers, competing most often with larger channel partners. For specific solutions, we also compete with niche players who are often focused on a single industry. Hardware sales are competitive because of online retailers. We believe our consultative, integrated solutions approach is a clear differentiator for most prospective customers.

Human Capital

OMNIQ’s operating philosophy is our growth and continued success are the result of management and employees working together in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork. Our core values emphasize an environment where safety, diversity, inclusion, talent development, training, and retention are top priorities. This has enabled us to meet various challenges over the years. The progress that has been achieved by us reflects this strong mutual commitment between the Company and its employees. We believe our employees are our greatest asset. We remain focused on furnishing friendly and safe working conditions, providing competitive pay, offering quality benefits, and producing revenue for the continued growth of the Company and the communities in which we operate. All of this with an emphasis on the welfare of our employees and their families. We realize our success is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of our employees. Each employee at OMNIQ is a contributing partner in our future growth and we strive to maintain a mutually beneficial workplace culture that also fosters the professional development of each employee.

As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 216 employees. Of these employees, 189 are salaried (including commissioned employees) personnel and 27 are hourly personnel. Our employees perform the following functions: sales operations, parts operations, technical services, and office and administrative support. We believe we have good relations with our employees, and we have never experienced a work stoppage. Generally, the total number of employees does not significantly fluctuate throughout the year.

Concentrations

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, one customer accounted for 30% and 23%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

On October 8, 2021 the Company’s common stock became available on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “OMQS”. Before then, shares of OMNIQ’s common stock were not traded on an established market. OMNIQ’s common stock was traded through broker/dealers and in private transactions, and quotations reported on the OTCQB under the symbol “OMQS”. OTCQB quotations reflected interdealer prices, without mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions. No dividends have been declared or paid on OMNIQ’s common stock and none are likely to be declared or paid in the near future.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

In October 2021, OMNIQ’ Board of Directors adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as an incentive to retain in the employ of and attract new employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees to the Company. Pursuant to the Plan, 1,118,856 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”), were set aside and reserved for issuance. The Plan was approved by our stockholders at the December 2021, shareholders’ meeting. No shares were issued under the Plan in 2021. On February 25, 2022, the Company granted 792,500 stock options. These options were granted to employees as part of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. On October 23, 2022 19,000 stock options were granted to employees as part of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan.

Dividends and other Distributions

OMNIQ has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company currently plans to retain future earnings to finance growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. OMNIQ may incur indebtedness in the future which may prohibit or effectively restrict the payment of dividends, although the Company has no current plans to do so. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of OMNIQ’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock pays a 6% dividend, but the Company has been unable to make such dividend payments and so those dividends are accrued quarterly. Accrued but unpaid dividends do not bear interest.

The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties (see discussion of “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K).

On May 3, 2021, the Company and OmniQ Technologies Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“OmniQ Technologies”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Dangot Share Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. Haim Dangot. Pursuant to the Dangot Share Purchase Agreement, OmniQ Technologies agreed to purchase 51%, or 5,100 shares, of the capital stock of Dangot Computers Ltd., an Israel company (“Dangot”), from Dangot’s sole shareholder, Haim Dangot, for consideration equivalent to 23,740,500 NIS (New Israeli Shekel), which is equal to US $7.7 million (the “Closing Consideration”), based on the exchange rate at the date of acquisition of NIS to dollars.

Effective October 1, 2021 the Company exercised a portion of its option and purchased an additional 26% of Dangot bringing its ownership to 77%. The Company paid $4,012,000 to purchase the additional shares.

Research & Development – Research and development for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $1.8 million per year.

Selling, General and Administrative – Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, representing an increase of $5.8 million, or 27%. The increase was due to additional share issuances to employees and directors as well as a large software implementation.

Depreciation – Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $324 thousand compared to $251 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021. This represents an increase of $73 thousand, or 29%, attributable to growth in fixed assets.

Intangible Amortization – Intangible amortization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $1.8 million, compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This represents a decrease of $1.4 million, or 43%, attributable to the acquisition of additional intangibles.

Other Income and Expenses

The Company incurred $3.5 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on promissory notes payable, the company’s line of credit, and vendor payables.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company has multiple subsidiaries conducting operations in Israel, therefore there were transactions denominated in currency other than US dollars for both 2022 and 2021. Foreign transaction gains and losses are reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and were included in the amount of loss from comprehensive income.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has $35 thousand of current income tax provision (US State & Local and Foreign) and $30 thousand deferred income tax expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has $321 thousand of current income tax provision (US State & Local and Foreign) and $165 thousand deferred income tax benefit.

Net loss

The Company realized a net loss of $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increased loss in 2022 is due primarily to an increase in stock compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash in the amount of $1.3 million and a working capital deficit of $38 million, compared to cash in the amount of $7.1 million, and a working capital deficit of $22.9 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company had stockholders’ deficit attributable to OmniQ stockholders of $10.5 million and $98 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase in our stockholders’ deficit was primarily attributable to net losses.

The Company’s accumulated deficit was $84.4 million and $70.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company’s operations provided net cash of $1.2 million and used $3.2 million the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase of cash from operations of $4.4 million is primarily a result of reduction in accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash used in investing activities was $4,154 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $9,235 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company’s financing activities used $3.1 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2022, and provided $14.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company currently does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The application of many accounting principles requires us to make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and/or judgments, however, are often subjective and they and our actual results may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts first become known. We believe the following critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying assumptions, estimates and/or judgments. See also note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition.

When entering into contracts with our customers, we review the five steps outlined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):

We account for contracts with our customers when we have approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

We evaluate, in accordance with Topic 606, whether or not we meet the criteria to be a principal or an agent and record the revenue on a gross or net basis. We are considered a principal if we obtain control of any one of the following:

We have certain relationships with manufacturers and suppliers to sell us products or provide services. Our contracts may transfer to our customer a right to a future service or product to be provided by our manufacturer or supplier. When a specified good or service is a right to a good or service provided by a manufacturer or supplier, we evaluate whether we control the right to the goods or services before that right is transferred to the customer rather than whether we control the underlying goods or services.

Indicators that we control the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer (and we are therefore a principal) include, but are not limited to, the following:

If the terms of a transaction do not indicate we are acting as a principal in the transaction, we are then considered acting as an agent and the associated revenues would be recognized on a net basis.

As principal, when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation, we recognize revenue in the gross amount of consideration which we expect to be entitled in exchange for the specified good or service transferred. We are an agent if our performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the specified good or service by another party. As an agent, we do not control the specified good or service provided by another party before that good or service is transferred to our customer. As an agent, when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation, we recognize revenue in the amount of any fee or commission which we expect to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified goods or services to be provided by another party to our customer.

Under Topic 606, we recognize revenue (on either a gross or net basis previously discussed) only when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to our customer. A good or service is considered transferred when the customer obtains control. The standard defines control as an entity’s ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, an asset. We recognize revenue (either gross or net) once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer:

Revenue Recognition for Hardware. Revenues from sales of hardware products are recognized on a gross basis as we are acting as a principal in these transactions, with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales. We recognize revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer.

Manufacturers and suppliers, from whom we purchase hardware, often provide their warranties that only provide assurance the products and services will conform to their specifications. These assurance-type warranties are not sold separately and are not considered separate performance obligations. In some transactions, a third-party will provide the customer with an extended warranty. These extended warranties are sold separately and provide the customer with a service in addition to assurance that the product will function as expected. We consider these warranties to be separate performance obligations from the underlying product. For warranties, where we are arranging those services be provided by a third-party, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and record revenue on a net basis at the point of sale.

Revenue Recognition for Software. Sales of software licenses are generally considered a single performance obligation. When we are considered the principal, we recognize revenues on a gross basis at the point the software is delivered to and accepted by our customer. Generally, software licenses are sold with accompanying third-party delivered software assurance, which is a product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software assurance is in effect.

As explained above, we evaluate whether the software assurance is a separate performance obligation by assessing if the third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering:

If we determine the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software license, the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance are recognized as a single performance obligation.

In some transactions, a third-party will provide the customer with an extended warranty. These extended warranties are sold separately and provide the customer with a service in addition to assurance that the product will function as expected. We consider these warranties to be separate performance obligations from the underlying product. For warranties, where we are arranging those services be provided by a third-party, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and record revenue on a net basis at the point of sale.

Revenue Recognition for Services. We provide professional services, which include project managers and consultants recommending, designing, and implementing IT solutions. Revenue from professional services is recognized either on a time and materials basis or proportionally, as costs are incurred for fixed fee project work. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis each month as work is performed and we transfer those services.

Revenues from the sale of professional and support services, provided by us, are recognized over the period the service is provided. As the customer receives the benefit of the service each month, we recognize the respective revenue on a gross basis as we are acting as a principal in the transaction. Additionally, we manage a services team that provides project support to customers that are billed on a fixed fee basis. We are acting as the principal in the transaction and recognize revenue on a gross basis based on the total number of hours incurred for the period over the total expected hours for the project. Total expected hours to complete the project is updated for each period and best represents the transfer of control of the service to the customer.

Freight Costs. We record both the freight billed to its customers and the related freight costs as cost of sales when the underlying product revenue is recognized. For freight not billed to its customers, we record the freight costs as cost of sales. The Company considers shipping to be a fulfillment activity and not a separate performance obligation.

Definite-lived Intangible Assets Impairment Evaluation

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of definite-lived intangibles when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of its use of acquired assets or its overall business strategy, and significant industry or economic trends. The Company amortizes definite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company recorded no impairment loss for definite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, the Company determines the recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate and recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset.

If the Company’s revenues or other estimated operating results are not achieved at or above our forecasted level, and the Company is unable to recover such costs through price increases, the carrying value of certain of the Company’s intangible assets may prove to be unrecoverable and we may incur impairment charges of definitive-live intangible assets.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized but are required to be reviewed for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances indicate that carrying value may exceed fair value. The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then the Company must calculate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it with its carrying amount, including Indefinite-lived intangible assets and recognize impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, considering the related income tax effect from any tax-deductible goodwill. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and, therefore, no impairment has been recognized.

Stock Based Compensation

We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.

We record stock-based compensation expense according to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, the Company determines the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments and the amortization method for compensation cost.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the expected volatility and expected option life assumption consistent with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is estimated based on a historic volatility rate and the expected option life is calculated based on historical stock option experience as the best estimate of future exercise patterns. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates consistent with the expected life of each stock option grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Compensation expense is recorded for all stock options expected to vest based on the amortization of the fair value at the date of grant on a straight-line basis primarily over the vesting period of the options.

Additional accounting policies can be found in Note 2 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and determined that none of the pronouncements will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company will continue to monitor the issuance of any new accounting pronouncements and assess their potential impact on the financial statements in future periods.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such terms are defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company acknowledges that any controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives.

We have carried out an evaluation as required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedure as of December 31, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Although we have determined that the existing controls and procedures are not effective, the deficiencies identified have not been deemed material to our reporting disclosures.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving their objectives. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Due to their inherent limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. It is possible to design safeguards to reduce, but not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on such evaluation, our CEO concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

As a result of our evaluation, we identified a material weakness in our controls related to segregation of duties and other immaterial weaknesses in several areas of data management and documentation.

Our management is composed of a small number of professionals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. Accordingly, and as a result of the material weakness identified above, we have concluded that the control deficiencies result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls. We continue to employ and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by executives. In addition, we evaluate and assess our internal controls and procedures regarding our financial reporting, utilizing standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2009 Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary on an on-going basis.

Commencing at the end of 2021, the Company engaged a professional consulting firm to help with implementing an internal process in accordance with section 404a of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2000 (SOX). The Company is in the process of implementing the SOX process and is currently performing the documentation phase. The controls in the main business processes that refer to the preparation of financial statement reporting of the main Company were documented, gaps were noted, and a remediation plan was prepared. The Company is in the process of implementing the remediation plan in order for these controls to be found effective in the test phase. The Company is working on completing the documentation phase in its other subsidiaries that recently switched to our ERP system.

While the material weakness set forth above were the result of the scale of the Company’s operations and is intrinsic to its small size, the Company believes the risk of material misstatements relative to financial reporting are minimal.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by its registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our Board currently consists of six members. Shai Lustgarten, Mr. Neev Nissenson, Mr. Andrew J. MacMillan and Mr. Yaron Shalem, Mr. Guy Elhanani and Ms. Mina Teicher.

One of the key functions of our Board is to provide oversight of our risk management process. Our Board administers this oversight function directly, with support from its three standing committees—the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee.

Director Independence

Pursuant to Item 407(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, we have adopted the definition of “independent director” as set forth in Rules 5000(a)(19) and 5605(a)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Board determined that Mr. Andrew J. MacMillan, Mr. Yaron Shalem, Mr. Guy Elhanani and Ms. Mina Teicher qualify as “independent directors” pursuant to such rules.

OMNIQ CORP.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of OMNIQ Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OMNIQ Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We did not audit portions of the December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements for Dangot Computers, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary. The portions not audited by us include assets of $27.5 million as of December 31, 2022, and total revenues of $45.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Those portions of the December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for Dangot Computers, Ltd. is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has a deficit in stockholders’ equity, and has sustained recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets— Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements

The Company has goodwill of $16.5 million and other intangible assets of $7.5 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company evaluates its goodwill and intangible assets at least annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For goodwill, the Company performed an impairment analysis by considering the value of its operating segment and comparing it to the carrying amount of its goodwill. In consideration of its intangible assets, the Company employed an income approach using a discounted cash flow using a forecast developed by management. These valuation methods require management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to projected cash flows. No impairment was recorded by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

We identified potential impairment of these assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate fair value, including the impact of forecasted growth, and the difference between the fair values and the carrying values as of December 31, 2022. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialist, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to certain assumptions within the projected cash flows.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, gaining an understanding of management’s process for developing the fair value estimate. We used professionals inside our firm with specialized skills and knowledge to assess the Company’s methodology. In evaluating the Company’s assumptions, we compared them to historical results, financial information subsequent to year end, and to customer orders to be filled. Finally, we considered the sensitivity of their cash flow model assumptions by assessing different scenarios.
