NOTE 1 – GENERAL

A.  Overview
 
Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc., a U.S. based Delaware corporation was formed on January 31, 2002 (Collectively, “we,” “Micronet Enertec” or the “Company”).
 
We operate through two Israel-based companies, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd ("Enertec"), our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Micronet Ltd ("Micronet"), in which we currently hold 62.54% of the outstanding issued share capital and is therefore controlled by us.

Micronet is a publicly traded company on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and operates in the growing commercial Mobile Resource Management, or MRM market. Micronet designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments. Micronet’s vehicle cabin installed and portable tablets increase workforce productivity and enhance corporate efficiency by offering computing power and communication capabilities that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage. Micronet’s customers consist primarily of application service providers and solution providers specializing in the MRM market.
 
Enertec operates in the Defense and Aerospace markets and designs, develops, manufactures and supplies various customized military computer-based systems, simulators, automatic test equipment and electronic instruments. Enertec’s solutions and systems are designed according to major aerospace integrators’ requirements and are integrated by them into critical systems such as command and control, missile fire control, maintenance of military aircraft and missiles for use by the Israeli Air Force and Navy and by foreign defense entities.

B.  Micronet Acquisition
 
On September 7, 2012, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary and holding company, Enertec Electronics Ltd, an Israeli corporation (“Enertec Electronics”), acquired from three Israeli individuals who collectively were the former controlling shareholders of Micronet (the “Sellers”), 47.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”).  As described below, pursuant to partial exercise of certain options granted to us under the Agreement and additional purchases of shares from former officers of Micronet, we currently own approximately 62.5% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Micronet. The Agreement also includes two call options granted to the Company (via Enertec Electronics) and a put option granted to Sellers.
  
On November 14, 2012 and on May 28, 2013, the Company, via Enertec Electronics, exercised its right pursuant to the initial call option granted under the Agreement and acquired an additional 996,000 ordinary shares of Micronet for  total consideration of $558, increasing its  ownership at such time to 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. On August 18, 2013, the Company purchased an additional 600,000 ordinary shares of Micronet from a former executive of Micronet for consideration of $676 and as a result, increased its holdings at such date to 54.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. These holdings were thereafter diluted on November 4, 2013 as a result of the exercise of certain options by Micronet officers.  On June 11, 2014, the Company, via Enertec Electronics, exercised its right pursuant to the initial call option granted under the Agreement and acquired 1,200,000 ordinary shares of Micronet for  total consideration of $925, increasing its ownership at such time to 58.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. On July 6, 2014, the Company, via Enertec Electronics, acquired 736,341 shares of Micronet from Mr. Rafi Katz, Micronet's former Chief Executive Officer for consideration of $642. Following the completion of this last purchase, the Company increased its ownership in Micronet to 62.54% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet which reflects its holdings as of the date hereof.

C. Public Offering
 
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 1,863,000 shares of Common Stock, and warrants to purchase 1,012,500 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $5.00 per share and $0.01 per warrant. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $6.25, are exercisable immediately, and expire on April 29, 2018. The gross proceeds to the Company, including the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option, were $9,324 before deduction of issuance costs of $1,921 payable by the Company. The shares and warrants began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on April 24, 2013 under the symbols “MICT” and “MICTW,” respectively. The Company analyzed the accounting treatment of the shares and warrants and classified them as equity according to the appropriate accounting guidance.
  
D. Micronet Acquisition of Beijer US Vehicle Operations

On June 2, 2014, the Company through Micronet, its 62.54% subsidiary, completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities (the "Transaction") of Beijer Electronics Inc's. (the "Seller") U.S. vehicle business and operations related to the supply of panels to various transportation sectors (the "Vehicle Business"). The total purchase price of the Transaction was $ 7,105 out of which $209 was paid within 90 days following the closing subject to certain inventory adjustments and review. The Vehicle Business results of operations were included in our consolidated reports commencing on the closing date.

The Transaction was financed through, among others, a loan granted to Micronet pursuant to a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") entered between Micronet and the First International Bank of Israel (the "Bank" and the "Loan", respectively). Under the Loan Agreement, the Bank loaned Micronet $4,850 for the financing of the Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, $2,425 of the Loan bears interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 1.5 percent (3.75% percent as of the date of the Loan) (the "Long Term Portion"). The Long Term Portion plus interest is due and payable in twelve equal consecutive quarterly installments beginning on August 29, 2014. The balance of the loan in the amount of $2,425 bears interest at a variably rate adjustable rate of Prime plus 1.2 percent (3.45% percent as of the date of the Loan) (the "Short Term Portion"). The Short Term Portion is due and payable within one year from the date of the Loan, subject to renewal, and the interest on the Short Term Portion is due and payable every quarter beginning on August 29, 2014. The Loan is secured mainly by a floating charge against Micronet's assets and a mortgage on a building owned by Micronet. The Loan is subject to customary covenants, terms, conditions, events of default and certain pre-payment provisions.

The purchase consideration was allocated to the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired has been determined by using valuation methods that discount expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The Company determined that the fair values of assets acquired exceeded the purchase price by approximately $1,466, which is recognized as goodwill. Upon the purchase price allocation, an amount of $1,680 was allocated to technology to be amortized over a 5-year period, an amount of $2,500 was allocated to estimated fair value of the customer relations intangible asset to be amortized over a 5-year period. The table below summarizes the estimates of the fair value of assets acquired at the purchase date.

The contribution of the Vehicle Business results to our consolidated income was $670 for the four months ended September 30, 2014. The transaction costs amounted to $369 and were charged mainly to general and administrative expenses.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of our operations and those of the Vehicle Business for the periods shown as though the Transaction occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 2013. The pro forma financial information for the periods presented includes the business combination accounting effects of the Transaction, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets. The pro forma financial information presented below is for informational purposes only, is subject to a number of estimates, assumptions and other uncertainties, and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the Transaction had taken place at January 1, 2013.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements comprise the results and position of the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its operating activities. In assessing control, legal and contractual rights are taken into account. The consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control is achieved until the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
New accounting standards that are applicable to the period

On March 5, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). Under ASU 2013-05 when a parent sells an investment in a foreign entity and ceases to have a controlling interest in that foreign entity or a foreign subsidiary disposes of substantially all of its assets; or, control of a foreign entity is obtained in which it held an equity interest before the acquisition date, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 does not have a material impact on the companies consolidated financial statements.

In July, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry Forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry Forward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 eliminates diversity in practice regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry forward or a tax credit carry forward exists. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this standard change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect material impacts on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede the most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue upon the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is not permitted). The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". The new standard provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 applies prospectively to annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and to annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect material impacts on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The accounting guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
 
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments and quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts, such as treasury securities with pricing interpolated from recent trades of similar securities, or priced with models using highly observable inputs, such as commodity options priced using observable forward prices and volatilities.
 
Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that have little or no observability as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as the complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial instruments.
 
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are summarized below:

Overview
 
We operate through two Israeli-based subsidiaries, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd, or Enertec, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Micronet Ltd, or Micronet, of which we currently own 62.54% of its outstanding share capital. Enertec and Micronet develop, manufacture, integrate and globally market rugged computers, tablets and computer-based systems and instruments for the commercial, defense and aerospace markets. Enertec's products, solutions and services are designed to perform in severe environments and battlefield conditions.
 
Micronet operates in the commercial Mobile Resource Management, or MRM, market. It designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments. Micronet’s vehicle cabin installed and portable tablets are designed to increase workforce productivity, enhance corporate efficiency and customer service by offering computing power and communication capabilities. Its products provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage and allow the installation of software applications and communication integration enabling the users to manage the drivers in various aspects such as: driver identification, hours working report, customer/organization working procedures and protocols, rout management and navigation based on tasks and time schedule. End users may also receive real time messages for various services such as pickup and delivery, repair and maintenance, status reports, alerts, notices relating to start and ending of work, digital forms, issuing and printing of invoices and payments.
 
Enertec operates in the Defense and Aerospace markets and designs, develops, manufactures and supplies various customized military computer-based systems, simulators, automatic test equipment and electronic instruments. Enertec’s solutions and systems are designed according to major aerospace integrators’ requirements and market technological needs and are integrated by them into critical systems such as command and control, missile fire control, maintenance of military aircraft and missiles for use by the Israeli Air Force, Israeli Navy and by non-Israeli defense entities.
 
Micronet Acquisition of Beijer US Vehicle Operations

On June 2, 2014, the Company through Micronet, its 62.54% subsidiary, completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities, or the Transaction, of Beijer Electronics Inc.'s, or the Seller, U.S. vehicle business and operations related to the supply of panels to various transportation sectors, or the Vehicle Business. The total purchase price of the Transaction was $7.1 million out of which $209,000 was paid within 90 days following the closing subject to certain inventory adjustments and review. The Vehicle Business results of operations were included in the Company's consolidated reports commencing on the closing date.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP"), we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance.
 
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our business, as they exclude expenses and gains that are not reflective of our ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
 
The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
 
 
17

 
 
The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them from non-GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:
 
 
·
Amortization of acquired intangible assets - We are required to amortize the intangible assets, included in our GAAP financial statements, related to the Transaction. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and term of its related amortization are unique to the Transaction and Acquisition. The amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash charges. We believe that such changes do not reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-Transaction operating results.
 
 
·
Amortization of note discount and related expenses - These interest expenses are non-cash and are related to amortization of discount of the UTA Capital LLC notes, described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Such expenses do not reflect our on-going operations and most of them will be incurred up to the end of fiscal 2014.
 
 
·
Change in fair value of call options and warrants – The change in fair value of the call options relating to the Acquisition is recorded as interest expense. The change in fair value is derived primarily from Micronet’s share price and does not reflect our on-going operations.
 
 
·
Stock-based compensation is share based awards granted to certain individuals. They are non-cash and affected by our historical stock prices which are irrelevant to forward-looking analyses and are not necessarily linked to our operational performance.
 
 
·
Expenses related to the purchase of a business - These expenses relate directly to the purchase of the Vehicle Business and consist mainly of legal and accounting fees, finder’s fees and travel expenses. We believe that these expenses do not reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude them to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-Vehicle Business purchase operating results.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
 
Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $11,415,000 and $23,568,000, respectively, compared to $7,956,000 and $26,088,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This represents an increase of $3,459,000 and a decrease of $2,520,000, or an increase of 43% and a decrease of 10%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014, is primarily due to an increase in the U.S. subsidiary, Micronet Inc's revenues of $5,220,000 as a result of the acquisition of the U.S. Vehicle Business. The decrease in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to a decrease in Micronet’s revenues mainly due to a decline of quantities and prices in orders from a major client during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Enertec's revenues increased by $1,166,000 and $777,000, or 58% and 11%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the previous period last year.

Total revenues related to the aerospace and defense segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $3,170,000 and $8,022,000, respectively. Total revenues related to the MRM segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $8,245,000 and $15,546,000, respectively.
 
Gross profit decreased by $721,000 and $3,326,000, to $2,869,000 and $6,778,000, respectively, and represents 25% and 29% of the revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.  This is in comparison to gross profit of $3,590,000 and $10,104,000 which represented 45% and 39% of the revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.  Micronet’s gross profit decreased from 51% and 44% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 26% and 32%, respectively, for the same period in 2014, mainly due to a reduction of unit volumes and prices to a major client. Enertec’s gross profit decreased from 29% and 25% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 22% and 23%, respectively, for the same period in 2014, mainly due to changes in product mix. The contribution of the U.S. Vehicle Business to our gross profit was $1,796,000 for the four months ended September 30, 2014.
 
 
19

 
 
Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing costs are part of operating expenses. Selling and marketing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $449,000 and $1,209,000, respectively, compared to $276,000 and $954,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This represents an increase of $173,000 and $255,000, or 63% and 27%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The increases are primarily due to enlarging the sales team of our MRM operation in the United States and travel expenses, as well as marketing expenses and initial consolidation of the U.S. Vehicle Business.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative costs are part of operating expenses. General and administrative costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $1,738,000 and $4,219,000, respectively, compared to $1,223,000 and $2,873,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This represents an increase of $515,000 and $1,346,000, or 42% and 47%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The increases are mainly due to approximately $206,000 and $462,000 initial consolidation of the U.S. Vehicle Business for the three and nine months ended September 30,2014, respectively, doubtful debt expenses of Micronet of  $496,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and  approximately $38,000 and $215,000 expenses attributed to the Acquisition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
Research and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development costs which include mainly wages,  materials and sub-contractors for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $546,000 and $2,164,000, respectively, compared to $755,000 and $2,144,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This represents a decrease of $209,000 and an increase of $20,000, or a decrease of 27% and an increase of 1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to grants received from the Israel Office of Chief Scientist by Micronet. Micronet invests a large portion of its income in research and development, which includes research and development personnel, sub-contractors and product development, which represented $415,000 and $1,768,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $683,000 and $1,933,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, out of total research and development costs of the Company.

During 2013, Micronet participated in programs sponsored by the Israeli Government for the support of research and development activities. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had obtained grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist, or OCS, in the amount of approximately $289,000 and $437,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively for certain of its research and development projects. The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the OCS, amounting to 3%-3.5% of the sales of the products and other related revenues generated from such projects, up to 100% of the grants received, linked to the Libor interest rate.
 
Net Income (Loss) from operations

Our net loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $170,000 and $1,371,000, respectively, compared to net income from operations of $1,243,000 and $3,569,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decreases are mainly a result of the decreases in gross profit and increases in operating expenses as described above.

Finance Expenses, net
 
Finance expenses net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $178,000 and $811,000, respectively, compared to expenses of $271,000 and $2,119,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This represents a decrease of $93,000 and $1,308,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in finance expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to decreases in amortization of note discount related to UTA Capital LLC, or UTA, following a partial repayment of the note in the amount of $1,467,000 during the first nine months of 2013.

Net Income (loss) attributed to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc.

Our net loss attributed to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. was $506,000 and $2,111,000 in the three and nine monthended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to net income of $78,000 and net loss of $ 611,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This represents an increase in net loss of $584,000 and $1,500,000 as compared with the last period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company finances its operations through current revenues, loans and fundraising. The loans are divided into bank loans and a loan from UTA, as described below.
 
As of September 30, 2014, our total cash and cash equivalents balance was $6,864,000 and our marketable securities amounted to $6,617,000. These balances, as compared to $12,825,000 and $6,969,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, reflect a decrease of $5,961,000 in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease of $352,000 in marketable securities. The main reason for the decrease in cash is a $2,300,000 cash payment for the Vehicle Business acquisition.

The Transaction was financed through, among others, a loan granted to Micronet pursuant to a loan agreement, or the Loan Agreement, entered between Micronet and the First International Bank of Israel, or the Bank and the Loan, respectively. Under the Loan, the Bank loaned Micronet $4.85 million for the financing of the Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, $2.425 million of the Loan bears interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 1.5 percent (3.75% percent as of the date of the Loan), or the Long Term Portion. The Long Term Portion plus interest is due and payable in twelve equal consecutive quarterly installments beginning on August 29, 2014. The balance of the Loan in the amount of $2.425 million bears interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 1.2% (3.45% as of the date of the Loan), or the Short Term Portion. The Short Term Portion is due and payable within one year from the date of the Loan, and the interest on the Short Term Portion is due and payable every quarter on August 29, 2014. The Loan is secured mainly by a floating charge against Micronet's assets and a mortgage on a building owned by Micronet. The Loan is subject to customary covenants, terms, conditions, events of default and certain pre-payment provisions.
 
On June 17, 2014, Enertec entered into a loan agreement, or the Mercantile Loan Agreement, with Mercantile Discount Bank Ltd., or Mercantile Bank, pursuant to which Mercantile Bank agreed to loan the Company approximately $3,631,000 on certain terms and conditions, or the Mercantile Loan. The proceeds of the Mercantile Loan were used by the Company: i) to refinance previous loans granted to the Company in the amount of approximately $1,333,000; ii) to complete the purchase by the Company, via Enertec, of 1.2 million shares of Micronet constituting 6.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet; and iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the terms of the Mercantile Loan Agreement, approximately $3,050,000 of the Mercantile Loan bears interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 2.45 percent (4.745% percent as of the date of the Mercantile Loan), or the Mercantile Long Term Portion. The Mercantile Long Term Portion is due and payable in five equal consecutive annual installments beginning on July 1, 2015, and the interest on the Mercantile Long Term Portion is due and payable in ten equal consecutive annual installments beginning at January 1, 2015. The balance of the Mercantile Loan in the amount of approximately $581,000 bears interest of Prime plus 1.8%  percent (4.05% percent as of September 30, 2014), or the Mercantile Short Term Loan. The Mercantile Short Term Loan is an on demand loan.  As of September 30, 2014 this short term loan was not taken. The Mercantile Loan is secured mainly by i) a negative pledge on Enertec's assets, (ii) a pledge of Enertec's financial deposits which shall be equal to 25% of Enertec's outstanding credit balance, and (iii) a fixed charge of Micronet shares at such value equal to at least 200% of the outstanding net balance of the Mercantile Loan. The Mercantile Loan is subject to customary covenants, terms, conditions, events of default and certain pre-payment provisions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Mercantile Loan Agreement, the parties agreed to grant Mercantile Bank a five-year Phantom Stock Option, or the Phantom Stock Option, pursuant to which Mercantile Bank is entitled to participate in the future appreciation of the Company's shares and receive a cash amount equal to the increase in the value of the shares underlying the Phantom Stock Option on certain terms and conditions. The Phantom Stock Option allows Mercantile Bank to theoretically exercise, on a cashless basis, options to purchase 1,144,820 shares of Micronet, or the Option Shares, and to receive a cash amount equal to the difference between approximately 4 million new Israeli shekels or NIS, (representing 110 percent of the average market value of Micronet Option Shares during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the Mercantile Loan) and the actual market price of such Option Shares on the date of the exercise of the Phantom Stock Option. Pursuant to the Mercantile Loan Agreement, the parties further agreed that the potential gain to Mercantile Bank resulting from the Phantom Stock Option shall not exceed 3 million NIS. In the event the Mercantile Loan is repaid prior to the third anniversary of the Mercantile Loan, the gain to Mercantile Bank resulting from the Phantom Stock Option shall not exceed 2 million NIS. As of the date of the Mercantile Loan the exercise price of the Phantom Stock Options is higher than the market price of the Option Shares.
 
As of September 30, 2014, our total assets were $45,952,000 as compared to $42,829,000 at December 31, 2013. Our trade accounts receivable at September 30, 2014 were $15,528,000 as compared to $13,467,000 at December 31, 2013. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to the initial consolidation of the U.S. Vehicle Business.
 
As of September 30, 2014, our working capital was $17,365,000 as compared to $26,436,000 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in working capital is due primarily to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents and an increase in short term loans.
 
As of September 30, 2014, our total debt was $14,238,000 as compared to $9,121,000 at December 31, 2013. This represents an increase of $5,117,000 in our total debt mainly due to the acquisition of the Vehicle Business.
 
Our debt includes our bank debt described above, a working capital credit facility and a loan from UTA:
 
·
Our bank debt is composed of short-term loans to Enertec Electronics, Enertec  and Micronet amounting to $8,898,000 as of September 30, 2014 compared to $5,058,000 at December 31, 2013, and long-term loans amounting to $4,346,000 as of September 30, 2014 compared to $3,130,000 at December 31, 2013.  The short-term loans have interest rates between Israeli prime (currently 1.75%) plus 0.7% to 3.75%.  The long-term loans have maturity dates between May 2017 and July 2019 and have interest rates between Israeli prime plus 1.25% to 3.75%.

 ·
Enertec has covenanted under its bank loan, among other things that (i) its shareholder’s equity according to its financial statements will not be below 17 million NIS, and (ii) its shareholder’s equity will not be lower than 30% of the total liabilities on its balance sheet. Enertec has met all of its bank covenants as of September 30, 2014.
 
·
Enertec Electronics has covenanted under its bank loan mainly that the Company will present separate financial statements equity of not less than 32.5% of total assets.
 
 
22

 
 
·
In addition, Micronet has undertaken under its bank loan documents the following financial covenants mainly: (i) a cash balance of not less than 15 million NIS; (ii) a minimum equity of 30 million NIS and (iii) total solvency ratio of not less than 30%.
 
·
The outstanding balance of the loan from UTA in the amount of $994,000 with an initial interest rate equal to 8% per annum, which  is due in one payment on January 10, 2015. 
 
·
Enertec Systems  has been maintaining a working capital credit facility with several Israeli banks in the amount of up to $5.1 million. This credit facility is subject to customary covenants, terms and conditions and is secured by a floating charge against Enertec's assets.
 
On April 29, 2013, we closed an underwritten public offering of 1,863,000 shares of common stock, including 243,000 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter's over allotment option and issued warrants to purchase 1,012,500 shares of common stock (including 121,500 pursuant to the over allotment option), at an offering price of $5.00 per share and $0.01 per warrant. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $6.25, are currently exercisable and expire in 2018.

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

The Company expects to pay the balance of the UTA loan by January 2015 and $1,575,000 as the current portion of certain bank loans and short term bank loans of $7,323,000 using its cash flow from operations or possibly additional debt or equity financings (including sales of common stock under the Company's shelf registration statement).

The Company has an effective Form S-3 registration statement, filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Company may, from time to time, sell common stock, warrants or units in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $30 million.
 
Based on our current business plan, we anticipate that our existing cash balances and cash generated from future sales will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations and to carry out our contemplated business plans for the next twelve months. However, we believe that we may need to raise additional funds if we want to materially decrease our dependence on our existing cash and other liquidity resources. Currently, the only external sources of liquidity are our banks, and we may seek additional financing from them or through securities offerings to expand our operations, using new capital to develop new products, enhance existing products or respond to competitive pressures. However, we may undertake additional debt or equity financings (including sales of common stock, warrants or units under our shelf registration statement) to better enable us to grow and meet our future operating and capital requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to consummate such offerings on favorable terms or at all.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect that is material to investors on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

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. David Lucatz, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Mrs. Tali Dinar, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), 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 September 30, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO 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 CEO and CFO, 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 September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
