NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(USD in thousands, except per share data)

 

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

MICT Inc., or we or the Company, was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 31, 2002. On March 14, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from Lapis Technologies, Inc. to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. On July 13, 2018, following the sale of its former subsidiary Enertec Systems Ltd., the Company changed the Company name from Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. to MICT, Inc. Our shares have been listed for trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, since April 29, 2013.

 

The Company’s business relates to its ownership interest in its Israel-based, a former subsidiary, Micronet Ltd., or Micronet, in which the Company previously held a majority ownership interest that has since been diluted to a minority ownership interest. Micronet operates in the growing commercial Mobile Resource Management, or MRM, market. Micronet through both its Israeli and U.S. operational offices designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his voting power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. The decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the deconsolidation of Micronet’s operating results from our financial statements as of February 24, 2019. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company account for the investment in Micronet in accordance with the equity method. As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized a net profit of $299 in February 2019.

 

On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%, and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.

On March 29, 2018, the Company and MICT Telematics Ltd.

On October 31, 2019, the Company paid all of its outstanding principal balance of the Series A Debentures in the aggregate amount of $2,057.  

 

Concurrently with the Preferred Offering (as defined in Note 1), the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from the Company $2,000 of convertible notes which subscription amount shall be subject to increase by up to an additional $1,000 as determined by BNN and the Company, or collectively, the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes issued to date, which shall be convertible into up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock, were sold together with certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock. The Convertible Notes have a duration of two years from the date of issuance. See also Note 7.

 

Note 4 — Stockholders’ Equity (Deficiency)

 

On February 7, 2019, and on April 4, 2019, the Company issued 145,300 and 275,300, respectively, shares of its common stock to its lawyers, directors and consultants. The Company recognized total expenses of $533 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2019.

 

On June 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 3,181,818 shares of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock, which shall be convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of common stock of the Company, was sold together with Preferred Warrants to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,000 to the Company.

 

The Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the option of each holder of Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time, and shall also convert automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, including the completion by the Company of a fundamental transaction. Commencing on March 31, 2020, cumulative cash dividends shall become payable on the Preferred Stock at the rate per share of 7% per annum, which rate shall increase to 14% per annum on June 30, 2020. The Company shall also have the option to redeem some or all of the Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time, beginning on December 31, 2019. The holders of Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on as-converted basis, and the holders of Preferred Stock holding a majority-in-interest of the Preferred Stock are be entitled to appoint an independent director to the Company’s board of directors (the “Preferred Director”). The Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement provides for customary registration rights.

 

The Preferred Warrants have an exercise price of $1.01 (subject to customary adjustment in the event of future stock dividends, splits and the like) and are exercisable immediately, until the earlier of (i) two years from the date of issuance or (ii) the later of (a) 180 days after the closing by the Company of a change of control transaction, or (b) the company’s next debt or equity financing of at least $20 million.

NOTE 5 — DISCONTINUED OPERATION

 

On December 31, 2017, the Company, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., or Enertec, previously our wholly-owned subsidiary, and 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 the Company agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’s entire share capital, Coolisys 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. Enertec met the definition of a component as defined by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 205. The Company believes the sale represented 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. On May 22, 2018, the Company closed on the sale, or the Closing, of all of the outstanding equity of Enertec pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

At the Closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,700, of which 10% will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the Closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims (see Note 7). Therefore, the Company has recorded such escrowed amount on its balance sheet as restricted cash and a liability. The final consideration amount was adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as a result of adjustments relating to certain Enertec debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4,000 of Enertec’s debt. The Company’s capital gain from the sale of Enertec, based on the Company’s balance sheet at the closing date was approximately $6,800.

 

On July 18, 2019, the Company received a written notice from Coolisys directed to the escrow agent, IBI Trust Management, regarding the funds being held in escrow relating to the Share Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of Enertec. The notice alleges that certain escrowed funds should not be released to the Company to satisfy certain claims for indemnity that are being asserted against Enertec Management Ltd. On August 13, 2019, the Company submitted its response to the notice and disputed the allegations. As a result, the escrow agent is therefore required to reserve all of the escrowed funds until the matter is resolved.

 

NOTE 6 — LOSS OF CONTROL OF SUBSIDIARY

 

As of December 31, 2018, we held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his voting power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, the voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. The decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the loss of control of Micronet. As a result, effective as of February 24, 2019, we no longer include Micronet’s operating results in our financial statements. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company began to account for the investment in Micronet in accordance with the equity method.

 

On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%, and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.

 

The Company recorded an impairment of its investment in Micronet and change in fair value in loan to Micronet as of September 30, 2019 in the total amount of $335.  

The method used for determining fair value of the investment in Micronet was based on a quoted market price on the TASE.

While Micronet is a publicly traded company in Israel, its shareholder base is widely spread and we continue to be Micronet’s largest shareholder, maintaining a voting interest of 37.79% of its issued and outstanding shares. We believe that since most items that may require shareholder approval required majority consent, we exert a high level of influence over such voting matters which may include the appointment and removal of directors. In that regard, to date, we have appointed a majority of the directors of Micronet’s board of directors.

 

Based on the above, although we are unable to fully consolidate Micronet’s financial statements according to U.S. GAAP, we also do not consider Micronet to be a discontinued operation since we consider ourselves in effective control of Micronet and the raising of equity by Micronet that diluted our interests was done in order to continue its operations.

 

The following is the composition from Micronet’s operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively:

 

   Three months ended
September 30,
   Nine months ended
September 30,
 
   2019   2019 
Revenues   2,691   $5,718 
           
Gross profit (loss)   692    601 
Loss from operations   (389)   (2,599)
           
Net Loss   (436)  $(2,729)
           
Net loss in equity method   (132)   (537)
Impairment of equity method investment and change in fair value in loan to Micronet   (335)   (335)
Change of ownership interests   101    101 
    (366)   771

NOTE 7 — Loan to MICRONET LTD.

 

On September 19, 2019, MICT Telematics Ltd., or MICT Telematics, a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT, Inc., or the Company, entered into a loan agreement with Micronet, or Micronet, pursuant to which MICT Telematics agreed to loan Micronet $250 on certain terms and conditions, or the Loan. The proceeds from the Loan will be used by Micronet for working capital and general corporate needs. The Loan does not bear any interest and is due and payable upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2019; or (ii) when Micronet receives an investment of at least $250 from non-related parties. The company measures the loan at fair value through profit and loss.

 

On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan to Micronet $500 in the aggregate, of which $250 consists of a prior loan proved by the Company in September 2019. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95% calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the loan, if not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of the loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent quarter thereafter, such that the loan shall be repaid in full upon the lapse of 24 months from its grant. In addition, the outstanding principal balance of the loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at the Company’s option, at a conversion price equal to 0.38 NIS per Micronet share. Micronet also agreed to issue the Company an option to purchase up to one share of Micronet’s ordinary shares for each ordinary share that issued as a result of a conversion of the loan at an exercise price of 0.60 NIS per share, exercisable for a period of 15 months.

 

NOTE 8 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

November 2019 Acquisition Agreement

 

On November 7, 2019, MICT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MICT” or the “Company”), GFH Intermediate Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Intermediate”) that is wholly owned by Global Fintech Holding Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“GFH”) entered into, and MICT Merger Subsidiary Inc., a to-be-formed British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT (“Merger Sub”), shall upon execution of a joinder enter into, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Intermediate, with Intermediate continuing as the surviving entity, and each outstanding share of Intermediate’s common stock shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of MICT (collectively, the “Acquisition”). GFH will receive an aggregate of 109,946,914 shares of MICT common stock as merger consideration in the Acquisition.

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Intermediate entered into (i) a share exchange agreement with Beijing Brookfield Interactive Science & Technology Co. Ltd., an enterprise formed under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (“Beijing Brookfield”), pursuant to which Intermediate will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and other equity interest of Beijing Brookfield from the shareholders of Beijing Brookfield in exchange for 16,310,759 newly issued shares of GFH and (ii) a share exchange agreement with ParagonEx Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (“ParagonEx”), shareholders of ParagoneEx specified therein (the “ParagonEx Sellers”) and Mark Gershinson, pursuant to which, the ParagonEx Sellers will transfer to Intermediate all of the issued and outstanding securities of ParagonEx in exchange for Intermediate’s payment and delivery of $10.0 million in cash, which is to be paid upon the closing of the Acquisition, and 75,132,504 newly issued shares of GFH deliverable at the closing of the share exchange.

 

After giving effect to the Acquisition, the conversion of the Convertible Debentures (as discussed below) and the conversion or exercise of the securities issued by MICT pursuant to the Offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants and the Offering of Convertible Note and Warrants, each as previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 10, 2019, it is expected that MICT will have approximately $15.0 million of cash as well as ownership of ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield and that MICT’s current stockholders will own approximately 11,089,532 shares, or 7.64%, of the 145,130,577 shares of MICT common stock outstanding.

 

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the stockholders of MICT and receipt of a fairness opinion indicating that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to the stockholders of MICT. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Intermediate. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by, among others, MICT, Intermediate and Merger Sub, including as to the conduct of their respective businesses (as applicable) between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, David Lucatz, on behalf of his affiliates that are stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder”), entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which, during the term of such agreement, the Stockholder has agreed to certain actions in support of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and will, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called for such purpose, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof (or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or approval is sought, including by written consent), not vote any of his shares of the Company’s common stock at such meeting in favor of, or consent to, and will vote against and not consent to, the approval of any alternative proposal that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay or adversely affect in any material respect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Termination of Acquisition Agreement

 

Effective as of November 7, 2019, the Company, BNN, BI China and ParagonEx (the “Parties”) entered into a mutual Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Parties agreed to terminate the 2018 Acquisition Agreement, effective immediately.

 

November 2019 5% Convertible Debentures

 

In addition, on November 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Primary Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors identified therein (the “Primary Purchasers”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Primary Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from the Company 5% senior secured convertible debentures due 2020 (the “Primary Convertible Debentures”) with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $15.9 million (the “Primary Convertible Debenture Offering”). Concurrently with entry into the Primary Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a separate Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Non-Primary Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Primary Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors identified therein (the “Non-Primary Purchasers” and, together with the Primary Purchasers, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Non-Primary Purchasers agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Non-Primary Purchase Agreement, to purchase from the Company 5% senior secured convertible debentures due 2020 (the “Non-Primary Convertible Debentures” and, together with the Primary Convertible Debentures, the “Convertible Debentures”) with an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 million (together with the Primary Convertible Debenture Offering, collectively, the “Convertible Debenture Offering”). The Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.41 per share. The Convertible Debentures will be due upon the earlier of (i) six months from the date of issuance and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement. The Company is obligated to pay interest to the Purchasers on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or, at the Company’s option in certain instances, in shares of Common Stock. The Company may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. 

 

Subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the shares of Common Stock to allow for the full conversion of the Convertible Debentures into Common Stock, the Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Purchasers at any time and from time to time. Upon the closing of the Acquisition and written notice of the Company to the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall be forced to convert the Convertible Debentures into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Forced Conversion”). Upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, if the Company fails to file a preliminary proxy statement with respect to the Acquisition on or prior to November 18, 2019, if the Forced Conversion does not occur on or before January 24, 2020, or certain breaches of the Primary Purchasers’ Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), the Primary Purchasers are permitted to require the Company to redeem the Primary Convertible Debentures, including any interest that has accrued thereunder, for cash.

 

The proceeds of each Convertible Debenture Offering shall be placed in separate blocked bank accounts, each of which shall be subject to a blocked deposit account control agreement to be entered into. The Company shall not have access to such proceeds until the closing of the Acquisition and only upon the satisfaction of certain other requirements, including, among other things, effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement 

 

The Purchase Agreements provide for customary registration rights, pursuant to their respective registration rights agreement to be entered into at the time of the closing of the Convertible Debenture Offering (each, a “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, the Company will be obligated to, among other things, (i) file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the SEC within seven business days following the filing of an initial proxy statement with respect to the Acquisition, but no later than November 27, 2019, for purposes of registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than the effectiveness of the Acquisition. The Registration Rights Agreements will contain customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary cash penalties on the Company for its failure to satisfy the specified filing and effectiveness time periods.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

The Company’s business relates to its ownership interest in its Israel-based subsidiary, Micronet Ltd., or Micronet, in which the Company previously held a majority ownership interest that has since been diluted to a minority ownership interest. Micronet operates in the growing commercial Mobile Resource Management, or MRM, market. Micronet through both its Israeli and U.S. operational offices designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with computing solutions in challenging work environments.

 

As of December 31, 2018, we held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his voting power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, our voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. The decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the deconsolidation of Micronet’s operating results from our financial statements as of February 24, 2019. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company began to account for the investment in Micronet in accordance with the equity method.

 

On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%, and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.

 

On September 19, 2019, MICT Telematics Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement with Micronet, pursuant to which MICT Telematics agreed to loan Micronet $250,000.

 

The Company recorded an impairment of equity method investment and change in fair value in loan to Micronet as of September 30, 2019 in the amount of $335,000.

 

On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan Micronet $500,000, of which $250,000 consists of a prior loan proved by the Company on September 19, 2019.

On December 31, 2017, the Company, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., or Enertec, previously our wholly owned subsidiary, and 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 the Company agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. As consideration for the sale of Enertec’s entire share capital, Coolisys 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. Enertec met the definition of a component as defined by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205. 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. On May 22, 2018, the Company closed on the sale, or the Closing, of all of the outstanding equity of Enertec pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement.

  

At the Closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,700,000, of which 10% will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the Closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims. Therefore, the Company has recorded such escrowed amount on its balance sheet as restricted cash and a liability. The final consideration amount was adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as a result of adjustments relating to certain Enertec debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4,000,000 of Enertec’s debt. The Company’s capital gain from the sale of Enertec, based on the Company’s balance sheet at the closing date was $6,844,000.

 

On July 18, 2019, the Company received a written notice from Coolisys directed to the escrow agent, IBI Trust Management, regarding the funds being held in escrow relating to the Share Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of Enertec. The notice alleges that certain escrowed funds should not be released to the Company to satisfy certain claims for indemnity that are being asserted against Enertec Management Ltd. On August 13, 2019, the Company submitted its response to the notice and disputed the allegations. As a result, the escrow agent is therefore required to reserve all of the escrowed funds until the matter is resolved.

 

On December 18, 2018, the Company, Global Fintech Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation, or BVI Pubco, GFH Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI Pubco, or Merger Sub, BNN Technology PLC, a United Kingdom Private limited company, or BNN, Brookfield Interactive (Hong Kong) Limited, a Hong Kong company and a subsidiary of BNN, or BI China, ParagonEx LTD, a British Virgin Islands company, or ParagonEx, certain holders of ParagonEx’s outstanding ordinary shares and a trustee thereof, and Mark Gershinson, in the capacity as the representative of the ParagonEx sellers, entered into an Acquisition Agreement, or the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, as a result of which each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock and warrant to purchase the same shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive 0.93 substantially equivalent securities of BVI Pubco, after which BVI Pubco will acquire (i) all of the issued and outstanding securities of BI China in exchange for newly issued ordinary shares of BVI Pubco and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of ParagonEx for a combination of cash in the amount equal to approximately $25 million (the majority of which was raised in a private placement by BVI Pubco), unsecured promissory notes and newly issued ordinary shares of BVI Pubco. On June 5, 2019, BNN announced that it had terminated its tender offer to purchase up to 1,953,423 shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement.

 

Effective as of November 7, 2019, the Company, BNN, BI China and ParagonEx, or the Parties, entered into a mutual Termination Agreement, or the Termination Agreement, pursuant to which the Parties agreed to terminate the Acquisition Agreement, effective immediately.

 

On November 7, 2019, the Company, MICT Merger Subsidiary Inc., a to-be-formed British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MICT, or Merger Sub, and GFH Intermediate Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company, or the Intermediate, that is wholly owned by BVI Pubco, entered into an acquisition agreement, or the 2019 Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the 2019 Acquisition Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Intermediate, with Intermediate continuing as the surviving entity, and each outstanding share of the Intermediate’s common stock shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of MICT, or collectively, the Acquisition. 

 

Concurrent with the execution of the 2019 Acquisition Agreement, Intermediate entered into (i) a share exchange agreement with Beijing Brookfield Interactive Science & Technology Co. Ltd., an enterprise formed under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China, or Beijing Brookfield, pursuant to which Intermediate will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and other equity interest of Beijing Brookfield from the shareholders of Beijing Brookfield in exchange for 16,310,759 newly issued shares of BVI Pubco and (ii) a share exchange agreement with ParagonEx, shareholders of ParagoneEx specified therein, or the ParagonEx Sellers, and Mark Gershinson, pursuant to which, the ParagonEx Sellers will transfer to Intermediate all of the issued and outstanding securities of ParagonEx, in exchange for Intermediate’s payment and delivery of $10.0 million, which is to be paid upon the closing of Acquisition, and 75,132,504 shares of its common stock.

 

After giving effect to the Acquisition, the conversion of the Convertible Debentures (as discussed below) and the conversion or exercise of the securities issued by MICT pursuant to the Offering of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants and the Offering of Convertible Note and Warrants, each as previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2019, it is expected that MICT will have approximately $25 million of cash as well as ownership of ParagonEx and Beijing Brookfield and that MICT’s current stockholders will own approximately 11,089,532 shares, or 7.64%, of the 145,130,577 shares of MICT common stock outstanding.

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the 2019 Acquisition Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the stockholders of MICT and receipt of a fairness opinion indicating that the transactions contemplated by the 2019 Acquisition Agreement are fair to the stockholders of MICT. The 2019 Acquisition Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Intermediate. The 2019 Acquisition Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by, among others, MICT, Intermediate and Merger Sub, including as to the conduct of their respective businesses (as applicable) between the date of signing the 2019 Acquisition Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

In connection with the execution and delivery of the 2019 Acquisition Agreement, David Lucatz, on behalf of his affiliates that are stockholders of the Company, or the Stockholder, entered into a voting agreement, or the Voting Agreement, pursuant to which, during the term of such agreement, the Stockholder has agreed to certain actions in support of the transactions contemplated by the 2019 Acquisition Agreement and will, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called for such purpose, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof (or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or approval is sought, including by written consent), not vote any of his shares of the Company’s common stock at such meeting in favor of, or consent to, and will vote against and not consent to, the approval of any alternative proposal that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay or adversely affect in any material respect the transactions contemplated by the 2019 Acquisition Agreement.

 

In addition, on November 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Stadium Purchase Agreement, with certain investors identified therein, or the Stadium Purchasers, pursuant to which the Stadium Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company 5% senior secured convertible debentures, or the Stadium Convertible Debentures, with a principal amount of approximately $15.9 million. Concurrently with Stadium Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a separate Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Non-Stadium Purchase Agreement, and together with the Stadium Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreements, with certain investors identified therein, or the Non-Stadium Purchasers, and together with the Stadium Purchasers, the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Non-Stadium Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company 5% senior secured convertible debentures with a principal amount of approximately $9.1 million, or the Non-Stadium Convertible Debentures, and together with the Stadium Convertible Debentures, the Convertible Debentures, or the Convertible Debenture Offering. The Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.41 per share. The Convertible Debentures shall be due upon the earlier of (i) six months from the date of issuance or (ii) the termination of the 2019 Acquisition Agreement. The Company is obligated to pay interest to the Purchasers on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of Common Stock. The Company may not prepay any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.

 

Subject to stockholder approval of the Convertible Debenture Offering, the Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Purchasers at any time and from time to time. Upon the closing of the Acquisition and written notice of the Company to the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall be forced to convert the Convertible Debentures into shares of Common Stock of the Company, or the Forced Conversion. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, if the Company fails to file a preliminary proxy statement with respect to the Acquisition on or prior to November 18, 2019, if the Forced Conversion does not occur on or before January 24, 2020, or certain breaches of the 2019 Acquisition Agreement, the Stadium Purchasers are permitted to require the Company to redeem the Stadium Convertible Debentures, including any interest that has accrued thereunder, for cash.

 

The proceeds of the Convertible Debenture Offering shall be placed in a blocked bank account, pursuant to a deposit account control agreement, to be entered into. The Company shall not have access to such proceeds until the closing of the Acquisition and only upon the satisfaction of certain other requirements, including, among other things, effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement.

 

The Purchase Agreements provide for customary registration rights, pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be entered into at the time of the closing of the Convertible Debenture Offering, or the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be obligated to, among other things, (i) file a registration statement with the SEC within seven business days following the filing of an initial proxy statement with respect to the Acquisition, but no later than November 27, 2019, for purposes of registering the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the resale registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than January 24, 2020. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including certain customary cash penalties on the Company for its failure to satisfy the specified filing and effectiveness time periods.

 

On November 12, 2019, the Company filed an Amended Certificate of Designation of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations with the Secretary of State of Delaware to remove the prohibition on forced conversions of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, into shares of Common Stock in the event the Company’s stockholders approve the Acquisition after December 31, 2019.

 

On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan to Micronet $500,000 in the aggregate, of which $250,000 consists of a prior loan proved by the Company in September 2019. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95% calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the loan, if not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of the loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent quarter thereafter, such that the loan shall be repaid in full upon the lapse of 24 months from its grant. In addition, the outstanding principal balance of the loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at the Company’s option, at a conversion price equal to 0.38 NIS per Micronet share.

On June 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 3,181,818 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $2.20 per share, or the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock, which shall be convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of common stock of the Company, was sold together with certain common stock purchase warrants, or the Preferred Warrants, to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $7 million to the Company, or the Preferred Offering.

 

Concurrently with the Preferred Offering, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Note Purchase Agreement, with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from the Company $2 million of convertible notes, which subscription amount shall be subject to increase by up to an additional $1 million as determined by BNN and the Company, or collectively, the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes, which shall be convertible into up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock, shall be sold together with certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock. The Convertible Notes shall have a duration of two years.

 

On July 29, 2019, the Company completed the first closing in the Preferred Offering, pursuant to which it sold 2,386,363 shares of Preferred Stock and 3,579,544 accompanying Preferred Warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,250,000.

 

Loss of Control of Micronet Ltd.

 

As of December 31, 2018, we held 49.89% of Micronet’s issued and outstanding shares, and together with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, we held 50.07% of the voting interest in Micronet as of such date. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result of Micronet’s offering, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 49.89% to 33.88%. On February 24, 2019, Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an irrevocable proxy assigning his voting power over 1,980,000 shares of Micronet for our benefit. As a result, our voting interest in Micronet stood at 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet. The decrease in the Company’s voting interest in Micronet resulted in the loss of control of Micronet. As a result, effective as of February 24, 2019, we no longer include Micronet’s operating results in our financial statements. Therefore, commencing from February 24, 2019, the Company began to account for the investment in Micronet in accordance with the equity method.

 

On September 5, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the TASE. As a result, our ownership interest in Micronet was diluted from 33.88% to 30.48%, and our current voting interest in Micronet stands at 37.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet.

 

While Micronet is a publicly traded company in Israel, its shareholder base is widely spread and we continue to be Micronet’s largest shareholder, maintaining a voting interest of 37.79% of its issued and outstanding shares. We believe that since most items that may require shareholder approval required majority consent, we exert a high level of influence over such voting matters which may include the appointment and removal of directors. In that regard, to date, we have appointed a majority of the directors of Micronet’s board of directors.

 

Based on the above, although we are unable to fully consolidate Micronet’s financial statements according to U.S. GAAP, we also do not consider Micronet to be a discontinued operation since we consider ourselves in effective control of Micronet and the raising of equity by Micronet that diluted our interests was done in order to continue its operations.

 

The Company recorded an impairment for its investment in Micronet and change in fair value in loan to Micronet as of September 30, 2019 in the total amount of $335,000. The method used for determining fair value of the investment based on a quoted market price of Micronet on the TASE.

 

The following is the composition from Micronet’s operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively:

 

   Three months ended
September 30,
   Nine months ended
September 30,
 
   2019   2019

Results of Operations

 

As discussed above and in the footnotes to our financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on February 24, 2019, as a result of a public offering by Micronet, our voting interest in Micronet (including voting power associated with an irrevocable proxy in our benefit from Mr. David Lucatz, our President and Chief Executive Officer) was reduced to 39.53% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micronet, and thereafter, as of September 5, 2019, was further reduced to 37.79%. Therefore, Micronet’s reports are consolidated in our financial statements from January 1, 2019 until February 24, 2019 only.

 

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019, Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 

 

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $0 and $477,000, respectively, compared to $2,216,000 and $12,897,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This represents a decrease of $2,216,000 and $12,420,000, respectively, or 100% and 96%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019, as well as a decrease in customer orders, and their value, a trend that has continued from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Gross loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by $54,000 and $3,677,000, respectively, to $0 and $369,000, and represents 0% and 77%, respectively of the revenues. This is in comparison to gross profit of $54,000 and $3,308,000, and represents 2% and 26% of the revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in gross loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is mainly a result of the deconsolidation of Micronet as well as the decrease in revenues and slow inventory reduction at Micronet for the two month period that Micronet consolidated.

 

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, 2019 were $0 and $198,000, respectively, compared to $383,000 and $1,217,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This represents a decrease of $383,000 and $1,019,000, or 100% and 84%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019 as well as a decrease in salary expenses due to the reduction of employees and subcontractors at Micronet.

 

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, 2019 were $501,000 and $2,161,000, respectively, compared to $2,544,000 and $5,070,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This represents a decrease of $2,043,000 and $2,909,000, respectively, or 80% and 57%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease is mainly the result of the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019 as well as decreases in wages and professional services at Micronet and partially offset by (1) an increase associated with the issuance of options and shares to directors, employees and consultants, and (2) a provision for doubtful debts.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development costs, which mainly include wages, materials, and sub-contractors, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $0 and $261,000, respectively, compared to $425,000 and $1,457,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This represents a decrease of $425,000 and $1,196,000, or 100% and 82%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease in research and development costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily a result of the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019 as well as a decrease in salary expenses due to a decrease in the number of employees at Micronet.

Loss from Operations

 

Our loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $501,000 and $3,009,000, compared to a loss from operations of $3,512,000 and $5,088,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease in loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is mainly a result of the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019 .

 

Financial Expenses, net

 

Financial expenses, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $346,000 and $292,000 compared to $104,000 and $956,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This represents an increase of financial expenses of $242,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and a decrease of financial expenses of $664,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in financial expenses, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, is primarily due to the interest and fees on the YA II (as defined below) debentures and the decrease in financial expenses, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, is primarily due to the changes in currency exchange rates.

 

Net Profit/Loss Attributed to MICT, Inc.

 

Our net loss attributed to MICT, Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, was $1,210,000 and $3,222,000, compared to net loss of $2,636,000 and net profit of $10,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This represents an increase of $1,426,000 and a decrease of $3,232,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primary a result of the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019. The decrease in net loss for the ninth months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to the capital gain resulting from the sale of Enertec.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company finances its operations through loans and securities offerings. The loans are divided into loans from YA II PN Ltd., or YA II and loans from BNN Technology PLC, as described below.

 

As of September 30, 2019, our total cash and cash equivalents balance was $5,767,000, as compared to $2,174,000 as of December 31, 2018. This reflects an increase of $3,593,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of the Securities Purchase Agreement, as described below.

 

On June 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 3,181,818 shares of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock, which shall be convertible into up to 6,363,636 shares of common stock, was sold together with the Preferred Warrants to purchase up to 4,772,727 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $7 million to the Company, or the Preferred Offering.

 

Concurrently with the Preferred Offering, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with BNN, pursuant to which BNN agreed to purchase from the Company $2 million of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes, which shall be convertible into up to 2,727,272 shares of common stock, were sold together with certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,727,272 shares of Common Stock. The Convertible Notes shall have a duration of two years.

 

On July 29, 2019, the Company completed the first closing in the Preferred Offering, pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 2,386,363 shares of Preferred Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase 3,579,544 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,250,000.

 

In addition, on November 7, 2019, the Company entered into the Stadium Purchase Agreement, with the Stadium Purchasers pursuant to which the Stadium Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company the Stadium Convertible Debentures, with a principal amount of approximately $15.9 million. Concurrently with Stadium Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the Non-Stadium Purchase Agreement with the Non-Stadium Purchasers pursuant to which the Non-Stadium Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company the Non-Stadium Convertible Debentures, with a principal amount of approximately $9.1 million. The Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.41 per share. The Convertible Debentures shall be due upon the earlier of (i) six months from the date of issuance or (ii) the termination of the 2019 Acquisition Agreement. The Company is obligated to pay interest to the Purchasers on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of Common Stock. The Company may not prepay any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.

 

Subject to stockholder approval of the Convertible Debenture Offering, the Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Purchasers at any time and from time to time. Upon the closing of the Acquisition and written notice of the Company to the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall be forced to convert the Convertible Debentures into shares of Common Stock of the Company. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, if the Company fails to file a preliminary proxy statement with respect to the Acquisition on or prior to November 18, 2019, if the Forced Conversion does not occur on or before January 24, 2020, or certain breaches of the 2019 Acquisition Agreement, the Stadium Purchasers are permitted to require the Company to redeem the Stadium Convertible Debentures, including any interest that has accrued thereunder, for cash.

 

22

 

  

The proceeds of the Convertible Debenture Offering shall be placed in a blocked bank account, pursuant to a deposit account control agreement, to be entered into. The Company shall not have access to such proceeds until the closing of the Acquisition and only upon the satisfaction of certain other requirements, including, among other things, effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement.

 

The Purchase Agreements provide for customary registration rights, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement which will be entered into at the time of the closing of the Convertible Debenture Offering. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be obligated to, among other things, (i) file a registration statement with the SEC within seven business days following the filing of an initial proxy statement with respect to the Acquisition, but no later than November 27, 2019, for purposes of registering the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the resale registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than January 24, 2020.

 

On December 31, 2017, the Company, Enertec and our previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Coolisys, a subsidiary of DPW, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the entire share capital of Enertec to Coolisys. On May 22, 2018, the Company completed the Closing. At the Closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.7 million, of which 10% will be held in escrow for up to 14 months after the Closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification claims. The final consideration amount was adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, as a result of adjustments relating to certain Enertec’s debts at the Closing. In addition, Coolisys also assumed approximately $4.0 million of Enertec’s debt.

 

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 July 18, 2019, the Company received a written notice from Coolisys directed to the escrow agent, IBI Trust Management, regarding the funds being held in escrow relating to the Share Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of Enertec. The notice alleges that certain escrowed funds should not be released to the Company to satisfy certain claims for indemnity that are being asserted against Enertec Management Ltd. On August 13, 2019, the Company submitted its response to the notice and disputed the allegations. As a result, the escrow agent is therefore required to reserve all of the escrowed funds until the matter is resolved.

 

On March 29, 2018, the Company and MICT Telematics executed and closed on a securities purchase agreement with YA, whereby the Company issued and sold to YA II (1) certain Series A Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal aggregate amount of $3.2 million, or the Series A Debentures, and (2) a Series B Convertible Debenture in the principal aggregate amount of $1.8 million, 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 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 $3.2 million. The Series B Debenture was issued and sold for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $1.8 million. At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to pay YA II, or its designee, a commitment fee of $90,000, an extension fee of $50,000 relating to the prior extension of the secured promissory note issued on August 22, 2017, and $126,786.74 representing the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prior Notes. The Series A Debentures and Series B Debenture were secured by a pledge of shares of Micronet owned by MICT Telematics.

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

 

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.

  

On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with YA II, or the YA Agreement, with respect to (i) the Series A Debentures and the Series B Debenture, and (ii) the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,187,500 shares of the Company’s common stock held by YA, with exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $4.00 and expiration dates ranging from June 30, 2021 to March 29, 2023, or collectively, the Warrants.

 

Pursuant to the YA Agreement, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement and effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, the Warrants shall be replaced by certain new warrants, or the Replacement Warrants, exercisable at $2.00 per share for a number of ordinary shares of BVI Pubco equal to the number of shares underlying the Warrants immediately prior to the effectiveness of the acquisition (subject to adjustment as described therein). YA II also agreed that it would not convert the Series A Debentures and the Series B Debenture into more than one million shares of the Company’s common stock during the period between the execution of the YA Agreement and the earlier to occur of the effectiveness of the acquisition or the termination of the Acquisition Agreement.

 

The Company agreed to pay in cash the remaining outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest with respect to the Series A Debentures and the Series B Debenture as of the consummation of the Acquisitions, subject to any applicable redemption premiums.

 

During 2019, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal balance of the Series B Debentures in the aggregate amount of $1,225, which was paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, and in October 31, 2019, the Company paid all of its outstanding principal balance, together with its accrued interest and a required 10% premium, of the Series A Debentures in the aggregate amount of $2,057,000.

 

On June 17, 2014, MICT Telematics 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: (1) to refinance previous loans granted to the Company in the amount of approximately $1,333,000; (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.

  

Pursuant to the terms of the Mercantile Loan Agreement: (1) approximately $3,050,000 of the Mercantile Loan bore interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 2.45%, or the Mercantile Long Term Portion, and (2) approximately $581,000 of the Mercantile Loan bore interest at a quarterly adjustable rate of Prime plus 1.7%, or the Mercantile Short Term Portion. The Mercantile Long Term Portion was due and payable in five equal consecutive annual installments beginning on July 1, 2015, and the interest on the Mercantile Long Term Portion was due and payable in ten equal consecutive annual installments beginning at January 1, 2015. The Mercantile loan was fully repaid in July 2019.

 

As of September 30, 2019, our total current assets were $6,067,000, as compared to $7,868,000 on December 31, 2018. The decrease is mainly due to the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019.

Our trade accounts receivable at September 30, 2019, were $0 as compared to $1,010,000 at December 31, 2018. The decrease is mainly due to the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019.

 

As of September 30, 2019, our working capital was $3,741,000, as compared to a deficit of $684,000 at December 31, 2018. The increase is mainly due to the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019 and from the increase in cash and cash equivalents from the Securities Purchase Agreement, as described above.

 

As of September 30, 2019, our total debt, excluding any debt associated with our discontinued operation, was $3,891,000 as compared to $5,810,000 on December 31, 2018. The decrease in total debt is primarily due to the (i) dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet, causing us to cease consolidating Micronet’s operations in our financial statements commencing from February 24, 2019, (ii) the issuance of 1,246,817 shares of the Company’s common stock to YA II in order to reduce the amount owed under the Series A Debentures and (iii) the full repayment of the Mercantile loan.

 

As of September 30, 2019, our bank and other debt were composed of short-term loans amounting to $2,057,000 compared to $5,810,000 on December 31, 2018. As discussed above, all such debts have been repaid in full.

 

Financing Needs

 

The Company will be required to support its own operational financial needs which include, among others, our general and administrative costs (such as for our various consultants in regulatory, tax, legal, accounting and other areas of business) and its financing costs related to the loans and funding instruments assumed by us.

 

In July 2019, the Company paid off all of its bank loans in the amount of $251,000 and in October 2019, the Company paid off all of its remaining YA II loans in the aggregate amount of $2,057,000. As of the date hereof, the Company’s outstanding Convertible Notes to BNN remain outstanding.

 

The Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-219596) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process, which was declared effective on July 31, 2017. 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 $30,000,000, subject to certain limitations as set forth in General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, pursuant to which we have sold approximately $1,000,000 of our securities to date.

  

Based on our current business plan and existing loans, we anticipate that our existing cash balances and cash generated from potential future equity or debt offerings, will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations and carry out our contemplated business plans for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report.  The Company may also satisfy its liquidity through the sale of its securities, either in public or private transactions, through the closing of the transactions contemplated by the 2019 Acquisition Agreement. We intend to use such funds in order to sustain or expand our operations and refinance our various debts. However, we may also undertake an additional debt or conduct equity financings (including sales of common stock, warrants or units under our shelf registration statement) to enable us better to support or 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

 

The Company does 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, 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. Moran Amran, the Company’s Controller (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2019. 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 September 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 5. Other Information.

 

On November 13, 2019, the Company and Micronet executed a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan to Micronet $500 in the aggregate, of which $250 consists of a prior loan proved by the Company in September 2019, as discussed in Note 7 above. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95% calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the loan, if not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of the loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent quarter thereafter, such that the loan shall be repaid in full upon the lapse of 24 months from its grant.
