NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

A. Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc., a U.S.-based Delaware corporation, was formed on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, we changed our corporate name from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc., or we, Micronet Enertec or the Company.

We operate through two Israel-based companies, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., or Enertec, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Micronet Ltd., or Micronet, in which we held 62.9% as of September 30, 2016 and is 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 through both its Israeli and U.S. operational offices designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments. 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. Standby Equity Distribution Agreement

On June 30, 2016, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, or the SEDA, with YA II PV Ltd., or YA II, a Cayman Island exempt limited partnership and an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global, LLC, for the sale of up to $2.39 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, over a three-year commitment period.  Under the terms of the SEDA, the Company may from time to time, in its discretion, sell newly-issued shares of its common stock to YA II at a discount to market of 1.5%.  The Company expects to issue shares of common stock under the SEDA pursuant to its effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-196760), or the Registration Statement. The Company is not obligated to utilize any of the funds available under the SEDA and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties.  The total amount of funds that ultimately can be raised under the SEDA over the three-year term will depend on the market price for the Company’s common stock and the number of shares actually sold. The SEDA does not impose any restrictions on the Company’s operating activities. During the term of the SEDA, YA II is prohibited from engaging in any short selling or hedging transactions related to the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2016, the Company sold YA II an aggregate of 291,430 shares of its common stock for an aggregate sale amount of $480 pursuant to the SEDA and under the Registration Statement. The aggregate issuance costs amounted to $100.

C. Note Purchase Agreement

On June 30, 2016, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Ltd., entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with YA II, or the Note Purchase Agreement, whereby YA II purchased $600 of notes from the Company, or the Notes. The Company received a total of $600 on July 1, 2016. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes bears interest at 7% per annum. On a quarterly basis, which commenced on October 10, 2016, the Company will make payments of $150 of principal, plus accrued interest. All amounts payable are due on July 10, 2017. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Notes, all amounts payable may be due immediately. In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company granted to YA II a five-year warrant, or the Warrant, to purchase 66,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.30 per share, which was amended on October 28, 2016 to $3.00 per share.

The Company recorded a discount amount of $33 based on the fair value of the warrant on the grant date.

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, or U.S. GAAP, 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, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2016 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, 2015. 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, 2015, and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

All the amounts included in the notes are denominated in thousand US Dollars.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 is ceased. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10)or ASU 2016-01, which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2019. The company is currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. The guidance is effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) beginning after December 15, 2018, for public companies, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION (CONT.)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Cont.)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, which revises the guidance in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and will change how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The guidance is effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) beginning after December 15, 2017, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The new standard will be effective beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019. The amendments will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15. This update addresses whether to present certain specific cash flow items as operating, investing or financing activities. The amendments in this update are effective as of the first quarter of 2018; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16. This update removes the current exception in U.S GAAP prohibiting entities from recognizing current and deferred income tax expenses or benefits. related to transfer of assets, other than inventory, within the consolidated entity. The current exception to defer the recognition of any tax impact on the transfer of inventory within the consolidated entity until it is sold to a third party remains unaffected. The amendments in this update are effective as of the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted and should be in the first interim period if an entity issues interim financial statements. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

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.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONT.)

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.

Items carried at fair value as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,are summarized below:

NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, computed using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist of the following:

NOTE 5 - SEGMENTS

Operating segments are based upon our internal organization structure, the manner in which our operations are managed and the availability of separate financial information. We have two operating segments: a defense and aerospace segment operated by Enertec and a mobile resource management segment operated by Micronet.

The following table summarizes the financial performance of our operating segments:

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 28, 2016, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Ltd., entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, or the Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement, with YA II, whereby YA II agreed to lend an additional $500 to the Company pursuant to a secured promissory note, or the Subsequent Note. The outstanding principal balance of the Subsequent Note bears interest at 7% per annum. Commencing on March 20, 2017, the Company will make four equal quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest on a quarterly basis. The Subsequent Note, along with the Notes held by YA II, is secured by a pledge of shares of Micronet Ltd. owned by Enertec Electronics Ltd. In connection with the Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to grant to YA II a five-year warrant to purchase 66,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

Overview

We operate primarily through two Israel-based companies, Enertec our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Micronet in which we have a controlling interest, which  develop, manufacture, integrate and globally market rugged computers, tablets and computer-based systems and instruments for the commercial, defense and aerospace markets. Our products, solutions and services are designed to perform in severe environments and battlefield conditions.

Micronet is a publicly-traded company on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and operates in the growing commercial MRM market and is a global developer, manufacturer and provider of mobile computing platforms, designed for integration into fleet management and mobile workforce management solutions. In June 2014, Micronet expanded its MRM business and operations in the U.S. market through the acquisition of a vehicle business, or the Vehicle Business, for $7.1 million, and as a result adding to its business U.S.-based facilities which include manufacturing and technical support infrastructure, sales and marketing capabilities as well as expanding its U.S. customer base and presence with local fleets and local MRM service providers. As a result of this acquisition, Micronet currently operates via its Israeli and U.S. facilities, the first located in Azur, Israel, near Tel Aviv, and the second located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

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 foreign defense entities.

Our strategy is driven and focused on continued internal growth through diligent efforts in our traditional growing markets with new technologies and innovative systems and products as well as the development of new potential segments and markets. Concurrent with our efforts to grow organically and in line with our strategy, we will continue to seek acquisitions that will complement and expand our product offerings, support our goals and increase our competitiveness. In order to help achieve our internal growth, we have expanded our production capacity and facilities. The acquisition of Micronet in September 2012 served our strategy to grow our business, and we believe that Micronet and its research and development, proprietary know-how and manufacturing capabilities will assist us in expanding our capability to provide turnkey solutions of computer based complex systems and solutions for commercial defense and aerospace applications as well. We strongly believe that by utilizing Micronet as our commercial arm we will be able to access new market segments and new customers, thereby increase our overall customer base. Our current target markets, in which we concentrate the majority of our resources, include primarily the US market, the Israeli domestic market and the European market.

On February 18, 2016, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, or the Asset Purchase Agreement, with Novatel Wireless, Inc., or the Seller, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire certain assets and liabilities of the Seller used in the operation of its telematics hardware business, or the Telematics Business Acquisition. The Asset Purchase Agreement provided that the Telematics Business Acquisition would close on or before March 31, 2016, subject to certain extensions and termination provisions.  On April 11, 2016, the Seller notified us that it was terminating the Asset Purchase Agreement due to the failure to meet such closing deadline and certain conditions required to extend it, and demanded a termination fee equal to $250 thousand pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. On May 3, 2016, the Seller filed a complaint in the Superior District Court of the State of Delaware naming us as the defendant. On November 4, 2016, we entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement or the Settlement Agreement with regard to the complaint filed by Novatel Wireless, Inc., the Seller. According to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we will pay the Seller a sum of $150 for the full release, settlement and discharge of the allegations made in the complaint. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has deducted $100 from the $250 provision previously made in our financial statements.

The increase in loss from operations is a result of the $150 provision and a decrease in the gross profit as described above.

Financial Expenses, net

Financial expenses, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $151 and $412, compared to expenses of $156 and $417 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Net loss attributed to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc.

Our net loss attributed to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. was $1,283 and $2,841 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to net loss of $1,263 and $ 2,557 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. This represents an increase in net loss of $20 and $284, or 2% and 11%, as compared to the same periods last year. The increase in net loss of the three and nine months periods are attributed primarily to $150 provision and a decrease in the gross profit as described above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP, we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance.

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

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

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

The following table reconciles, for the periods presented, GAAP net loss attributable to Micronet Enertec to non-GAAP net loss attributable to Micronet Enertec and GAAP loss per share attributable to Micronet Enertec to non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to Micronet Enertec:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(Dollars and NIS in Thousands except per share amounts)

The Company finances its operations through current revenues, loans and securities offerings. The loans are divided into bank loans, a loan from Meydan Family Trust No 3, or Meydan, as described below, and loans from YA II.

As of September 30, 2016, our total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities balance was $10,362 (of which marketable securities amounted to $3,852), as compared to $12,139 (of which marketable securities amounted to $5,643) as of December 31, 2015. This reflects a decrease of $1,777 in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of our net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

On September 2, 2015, Enertec entered into a Credit Line Agreement, or the Credit Line Agreement, with a financing firm, or the Financing Firm, pursuant to which the Financing Firm agreed to grant Enertec a credit line for the financing of certain payables of Enertec. The maximum aggregate amount of the financing eligible under the Credit Line Agreement is $675 and up to 85% of each invoice. The financing pursuant to the Credit Line Agreement is at an annual rate of Prime plus 1.75%. On June 2, 2016, the Credit Line Agreement was extended and will expire on April 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2016, Enertec had financed $578 pursuant to the Credit Line Agreement.

As of September 30, 2016, the balance on this loan (the Long Term Portion and the Short Term Portion) was approximately $2,834 and the interest rates were Prime plus 1.2% and Prime plus 1.5% for the Short Term Portion and the Long Term Portion, respectively.

On June 17, 2014, Enertec Electronics 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 on certain terms and conditions, or the Mercantile Loan. The proceeds of the Mercantile Loan were used by the Company: (1) to refinance previous loans granted to the Company in the amount of approximately $1,333; (2) 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 (3) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2016, the balance on the Mercantile Loan was $2,226 and the interest rates were Prime plus 2.45% and Prime plus 1.7% for the Mercantile Long Term Portion and the Mercantile Short Term Portion, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the Mercantile Loan Agreement, Enertec 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 NIS 4,000, (representing 110 percent of the average market value of Micronet Option Shares during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the Mercantile Loan) and the actual market price of such Option Shares on the date of the exercise of the Phantom Stock Option. Pursuant to the Mercantile Loan Agreement, the parties further agreed that the potential gain to Mercantile Bank resulting from the Phantom Stock Option shall not exceed NIS 3,000. In the event the Mercantile Loan is repaid prior to the third anniversary of the Mercantile Loan, the gain to Mercantile Bank resulting from the Phantom Stock Option shall not exceed NIS 2,000. 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, 2016, the fair value of this Phantom Stock Option was $4.

In addition, on June 30, 2016, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Ltd., entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with YA II, or the Note Purchase Agreement, whereby YA II purchased $600 of notes from the Company, or the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Notes, all amounts payable may be due immediately.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company granted to YA II a five-year warrant, or the Warrant, to purchase 66,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.30 per share, which was amended on October 28, 2016 to a reduced exercise price of $3.00 per share.

On October 28, 2016, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Ltd. entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, or the Subsequent Note Purchase Agreement, with YA II, whereby YA II agreed to lend an additional $500 to the Company pursuant to a secured promissory note, or the Subsequent Note. The outstanding principal balance of the Subsequent Note bears interest at 7% per annum. On a quarterly basis, commencing on March 20, 2017, the Company will make four equal quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest. The Subsequent Note, along with the Notes held by YA II, is secured by a pledge of shares of Micronet Ltd. owned by Enertec Electronics Ltd.

As of September 30, 2016, our total current assets were $31,495, as compared to $33,534 at December 31, 2015. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and a decrease in inventory.

Our trade accounts receivable at September 30, 2016 were $13,326 as compared to $12,353 at December 31, 2015. The increase is primarily due to increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016, our working capital was $10,391, as compared to $13,291 at December 31, 2015. The decrease in the working capital is primarily due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents and due to an increase in short- term bank loans.

As of September 30, 2016, our total debt was $16,330 as compared to $14,402 at December 31, 2015.

Our bank and other debt is composed of short-term loans amounting to $15,056 as of September 30, 2016 compared to $12,049 at December 31, 2015, and long-term loans amounting to $1,274 as of September 30, 2016 compared to $2,353 at December 31, 2015. The increase in short-term loans caused an increase in the restricted cash that stands as a collateral for those loans.

Our debt includes our bank debt described above, a working capital credit facility - a loan from Meydan, the Credit Line Agreement and the YA II loans:

Financing Needs

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

The Company expects to pay off the current portion of certain bank loans in the amount $1,187 and the amount of $1,184 to others using its cash flow from operations or possibly additional debt or equity financings.

On June 30, 2016, we entered into the SEDA, with YA II, for the sale of up to $2.39 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, over a three-year commitment period.  Under the terms of the SEDA, we may from time to time, in our discretion, sell newly-issued shares of our common stock to YA II at a discount to market of 1.5%. We expect to issue shares of common stock under the SEDA pursuant to our effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-196760), or the Registration Statement. We are not obligated to utilize any of the funds available under the SEDA and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties.  The total amount of funds that ultimately can be raised under the SEDA over the three-year term will depend on the market price for our common stock and the number of shares actually sold. The SEDA does not impose any restrictions on our operating activities. During the term of the SEDA, YA II is prohibited from engaging in any short selling or hedging transactions related to our common stock.

As noted above, we have 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, we may, from time to time, sell common stock, warrants or units in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $30,000, of which $2,390 has been reserved for shares to be issued pursuant to the SEDA.

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 also 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.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
