NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

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 primarily through two Israel-based companies, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., or Enertec, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Micronet Ltd., or Micronet, in which we held 50.07% as of March 31, 2018, and is controlled by us.

On February 23, 2017, Micronet filed an immediate report with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE, announcing that it had closed on a public offering of its ordinary shares and sold an aggregate of 6,100,000 shares of its ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds of NIS 9,844,020. As a result of the public offering, the Company’s ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 62.9% to 49.31%. In order to maintain a controlling interest of Micronet, on February 27, 2017, the Company purchased an additional 140,000 shares of Micronet in a separate transaction with a shareholder of Micronet. In addition, on February 28, 2017, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his voting power over 45,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, our voting interest of Micronet was increased to 50.07% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.

Micronet is a publicly traded company on the TASE 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 Aerospace and Defense 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.

On December 31, 2017, the Company, Enertec and our wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, or the Share Purchase Agreement, with Coolisys Technologies Inc., or Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW Holdings, Inc., or DPW, pursuant to which we agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’s entire share capital, Coolisys has agreed to pay, at the closing of the transaction, a purchase price of $5,250 as well as assume up to $4,000 of Enertec debt which consideration may be subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. Enertec met the definition of a component as defined by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 205, since Enertec has been classified as held for sale and the Company believes the sale represents a strategic shift in its business. Accordingly, its assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods’ results have been reclassified as a discontinued operation. Enertec met the definition of a component. No closing for the sale of Enertec has taken place and we continue to operate Enertec in the normal course pending the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement. The parties are working towards completing the closing conditions related to the bank's approval for the change of control.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The balance sheet at December 31, 2017, has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. 

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.   All significant inter-company transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

Functional Currency

The functional currency of Micronet Enertec is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is their local currency. The financial statements of those companies are included in consolidation, based on translation into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

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 lost. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are considered by the Company to be highly-liquid investments, including inter-alia, short-term deposits with banks, which do not exceed maturities of three months at the time of deposit and which are not restricted.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” or ASC 606, and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) with respect to all contracts using the modified retrospective method.

A contract with a customer exists only when: the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations, the Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct goods or services to be transferred (“performance obligations”), the Company can determine the transaction price for the goods or services to be transferred, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

Revenues are recorded in the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for performance obligations upon transfer of control to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of other third parties and sales taxes. The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled varies as a result of rebates, chargebacks, returns and other allowances.

The cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard was immaterial for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, based on the adoption of ASC 606.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade and financing receivables are not overstated due to uncollectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts was based on specific receivables, which their collection, in the opinion of Company’s management, is in doubt. Trade receivables are charged off in the period in which they are deemed to be uncollectible. As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $314 and $0, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain balance sheet amounts and cash flow amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Inventories

Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or realizable value. Cost of work in process is comprised of direct materials, direct production costs and an allocation of production overhead based on normal operating capacity.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair market value method under which compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period, which is usually the service period. For stock options, fair value is determined using an option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock, the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to statements of income as incurred net of grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (formerly known as the Israel Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Economy).

Loss per Share

Basic net earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible assets

Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates property and equipment and purchased intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow and recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset plus the net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When the Company identifies an impairment, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the year ended December 31, 2017, no indicators of impairment have been identified.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test.  The Company has one continued operation, consisting of the MRM segment, and the entire goodwill was allocated to this MRM segment. The goodwill impairment tests are conducted in two steps. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would then perform the second step of the impairment test which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value of all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to an acquisition cost allocation, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is then compared to the carrying value to determine impairment, if any.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, ASC 220-10, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires the Company to report in its consolidated financial statements, in addition to its net income, comprehensive income (loss), which includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources including, as applicable, foreign currency items and other items.

The Company’s other comprehensive income for all periods presented is related to the translation from functional currency to the presentation currency.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

The Company applied FASB ASC Topic 740-10-25, “Income Taxes,” which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions and prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy on classification of all interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense. 

Financial Instruments

1. Concentration of credit risks:

Financial instruments that have the potential to expose the Company to credit risks are mainly cash and cash equivalents, bank deposit accounts, marketable securities and trade receivables.

The Company holds cash and cash equivalents, securities and deposit accounts at large banks in Israel, thereby substantially reducing the risk of loss.

With respect to trade receivables, the risk is limited due to the geographical spreading, nature and size of the entities that constitute the Company’s customer base. The Company assesses the financial position of its customers prior to the engagement with them.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and generally does not require collateral. An appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is included in the accounts.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Financial Instruments (Cont.)

2. Fair value measurement:

The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or 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.

We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Items carried at fair value as of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, 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

The Company accounts for its segment information in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 280-10, “Segment Reporting,” or ASC 280-10. ASC 280-10 establishes annual and interim reporting standards for operating segments of a company. ASC 280-10 requires disclosures of selected segment-related financial information about products, major customers and geographic areas based on the Company’s internal accounting methods.

Sales: Classified by Geographic Areas:

The following presents total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017 by geographic area:

Note 6 – Loans from others

On March 29, 2018, the Company and its subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Ltd., or Enertec Electronics, executed and closed on a securities purchase agreement with YA II PN Ltd, or YA II, whereby the Company issued and sold to YA II (1) certain Series A Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal aggregate amount of $3,200, or the Series A Debentures, and (2) a Series B Convertible Debenture in the principal aggregate amount of $1,800, or the Series B Debenture. The Series A Debentures were issued in exchange for the cancellation and retirement of certain promissory notes issued by the Company to YA II on October 28, 2016, December 22, 2016, June 8, 2017 and August 22, 2017, or collectively, the Prior Notes, with a total outstanding aggregate principal amount of $3,200. The Series B Debenture was issued and sold for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $1,800.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue to YA II a warrant to purchase 375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share, a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share and a warrant to purchase 112,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share, or collectively, the Warrants.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series A Debentures and the Series B Debentures, a total of $273,787 in fees and expenses were deducted from the aggregate gross proceeds.

The Company evaluated the modifications to the terms of the loans in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 470-50-40 “Derecognition,” and concluded that the new debentures are substantially different from the original loans. Therefore, these modifications were accounted for as an extinguishment of the existing debt. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $360.

NOTE 7 — DISCONTINUED OPERATION

On December 31, 2017, we, Enertec and our wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW, pursuant to which we agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’s entire share capital, Coolisys has agreed to pay at the closing of the transaction a purchase price of $5,250, as well as assume up to $4,000 of Enertec debt which consideration may be subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. Enertec met the definition of a component. Accordingly, its assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods results have been reclassified as discontinued operation accordingly. The parties are working towards completing the closing conditions related to the bank's approval for the change of control.

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

The following is the composition from discontinued operation:

NOTE 7 — DISCONTINUED OPERATION (Cont.)

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 8, 2018, the Company and YA II mutually agreed to terminate the Company’s Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA II, or the 2017 SEDA. As a result of the termination of the 2017 SEDA, the Company’s obligation to pay any and all of the remaining commitment fee owed under the 2017 SEDA was terminated as well.

On May 8, 2018, the Company and YA II amended the terms of the Series A Debentures and Series B Debenture to clarify that YA II shall not have the right to convert the Series A Debentures and Series B Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount to exceed 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of February 22, 2018, inclusive of certain shares of common stock sold by the Company to D-Beta One EQ, Ltd. on February 22, 2018. In addition, the Company and YA II agreed to amend the terms of the Warrants to remove the Company’s right to voluntarily adjust the Warrant’s exercise prices.

Overview

We provide rugged mobile devices for the growing commercial mobile resource management, or MRM, market and high tech solutions for severe environments and the battlefield, including missile defense technologies for the aerospace and defense markets. Our MRM division develops, manufactures and provides mobile computing platforms for the multibillion dollar mobile logistics management market in the U.S., Europe and Israel. American-manufactured systems are designed for outdoor and challenging work environments in trucking, distribution, logistics, public safety and construction. We design, develop, manufacture and supply customized military computer-based systems, simulators, automatic test equipment and electronic instruments, addressing a multi-billion-dollar defense industry. Solutions and systems are integrated into critical systems such as command and control, missile fire control, maintenance of military aircraft and missiles for the Israeli Air Force, Israeli Navy and by foreign defense entities.

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, aerospace and defense markets. Our products, solutions and services are designed to perform in severe environments and battlefield conditions.

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

Enertec operates in the aerospace and defense 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.

On December 31, 2017, we, Enertec and our wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW, pursuant to which we agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’ entire share capital, Coolisys has agreed to pay at the closing of the transaction a purchase price of $5,250,000, of which $525,000 will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims, as well as assume up to $4,000,000 of Enertec debt which consideration certain adjustments set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. Upon the signing of the Share Purchase Agreement, Coolisys agreed to deposit a termination fee of $300,000 into escrow to secure its obligations for closing. No closing for the sale of Enertec has taken place and we continue to operate Enertec in the normal course pending the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement. Enertec met the definition of a component. Accordingly, its assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods results have been reclassified as discontinued operation. The parties are working towards completing the closing conditions related to the bank's approval for the change of control.

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. 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 the Israeli domestic market, the U.S. market and the European market.

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

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018, compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $5,980,000, compared to $2,701,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $3,279,000, or 121%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, is mainly due to an increase in Micronet revenues as a result of an increase in customer orders related to Micronet’s new SmartHub product line.

Gross profit increased by $1,348,000 to $1,722,000 and represents 29% of the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This is in comparison to gross profit of $374,000 which represented 14% of the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase is mainly due to an increase in the volume of units sold relating to Micronet’s new product line.

Selling and marketing costs are part of operating expenses. Selling and marketing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $454,000, compared to $392,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $62,000, or 16%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase is mainly due to an increase in sales commissions as a result of the increase in revenues related to Micronet.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs are part of operating expenses. General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $1,212,000, compared to $1,119,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $93,000, or 8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase is mainly due to an increase in expenses related to options and a provision for doubtful debt.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development costs, which mainly includes wages, materials and sub-contractors, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $527,000, compared to $397,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $130,000, or 33%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in research and development costs is mainly due to an increase in payroll costs.

Loss from operations

Our loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $693,000, or 11% of revenues, compared to loss from operations of $1,769,000, or 65% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in loss from operations is mainly a result of the increase in revenues as described above.

Financial Expenses, benefit net

Financial expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $392,000, compared to a benefit of $60,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This represents an increase of $452,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in financial expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, was primarily due to expenses and interest we paid on loans.

Net loss attributed to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc.

Our net loss attributed to Micronet Enertec was $850,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to net loss of $1,612,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2017. This represents a decrease in net loss of $762,000, or 47%, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in net loss is attributed to the increase in revenues as mentioned above.

Discontinued operation

As a result of the proposed sale of our Enertec subsidiary to Coolisys, we have classified Enertec’s assets and liabilities as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods’ results have been reclassified as a discontinued operation. Enertec’s net loss decreased from $595,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, to a net profit of $111,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in net loss is mainly attributed to an increase in gross margins and to a decrease in operating costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

As of March 31, 2018, our total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash balance was $3,616,000, as compared to $2,398,000 as of December 31, 2017. This reflects an increase of $1,218,000 in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of a new loan from YA II, as discussed more fully below.

On December 31, 2017, we, Enertec and our wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW, pursuant to which we agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’s entire share capital, Coolisys has agreed to pay at the closing of the transaction a purchase price of $5,250,000, as well as assume up to $4,000,000 of Enertec debt which consideration may be subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. Enertec met the definition of a component. Accordingly, its assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and the results of operations in the statement of operations and prior periods results have been reclassified as discontinued operation accordingly.

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

On August 22, 2017, the Company and Enertec Electronics executed the Third Supplemental Agreement which supplements the Note Purchase Agreement executed by the parties on October 28, 2016, or the August 2017 Note. Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Agreement, we borrowed $1,500,000 from YA II pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note.

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

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

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

As of March 31, 2018, our total current assets were $26,138,000, as compared to $25,308,000 at December 31, 2017. The increase is mainly due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Our trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2018 were $4,808,000 as compared to $5,183,000 at December 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to a provision for doubtful debt in Micronet.

As of March 31, 2018, our working capital was $5,323,000, as compared to $3,062,000 at December 31, 2017. The increase in the working capital is primarily due to the increase in our cash and cash equivalents.

As of March 31, 2018, our total debt was $7,660,000 as compared to $5,168,000 at December 31, 2017.

Our bank and other debt is composed of short-term loans amounting to $3,956,000 as of March 31, 2018 compared to $3,789,000 at December 31, 2017, and long-term loans amounting to $3,704,000 as of March 31, 2018 compared to $1,379,000 at December 31, 2017.

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

Financing Needs

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

In 2018, we expect to pay off the current portion of certain bank loans in the amount $621,000 and the YA II loans in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000, using our cash flow from our operations, until the proposed sale of Enertec is consummated, or possibly additional debt or equity financings.

In addition, if we are successful in consummating the sale of Enertec to Coolisys, we will receive $5,250,000, subject to certain adjustments, in gross proceeds, as well as have $4,000,000 in Enertec’s net debt assumed by Coolisys. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in consummating the sale of Enertec.

Under this shelf registration process, the Company may, from time to time, sell common stock, warrants or units in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $30 million. To date, we have sold approximately $1,000,000 of our securities pursuant to our existing shelf registration statement.

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Not applicable.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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, and Mrs. Tali Dinar, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

No change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
