Notes to the Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

US dollars in thousands (except per share amounts)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

A.Description of business

 

On Track Innovations Ltd. (the “Company”) was founded in 1990, in Israel. The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in the field of design and development of cashless payment solutions.

 

The Company’s ordinary shares are listed for trading on the OTCQX market (formerly listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market until October 30, 2019).

 

At September 30, 2019, the Company operates in two operating segments: (a) Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing, and (b) Petroleum. See Note 11. During 2018, the Company sold its medical smart cards operation – see Note 1C(2).

 

B.Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) that are reported in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, historical experience, actions that the Company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be different from these estimates.

 

C.Divestiture of operations

 

1.In December 2013, the Company completed the sale of certain assets, subsidiaries and intellectual property (“IP”) relating to its Smart ID division, for a total purchase price of $10,000 in cash and an additional $12,500 subject to performance-based milestones. Accordingly, the results and the cash flows of this operation for all reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation (cont’d)

 

C.Divestiture of operations (cont’d)

 

On April 20, 2016, the purchaser of the Smart ID division, SuperCom Ltd. (“SuperCom”), and the Company entered into a settlement agreement resolving certain litigation between SuperCom and the Company pursuant to which SuperCom paid the Company $2,050 and agreed to pay the Company up to $1,500 in accordance with and subject to a certain earn-out mechanism. In November 2017, the Company commenced an arbitration procedure with SuperCom, in which the Company claims that additional earn-out payments have not been paid to the Company. SuperCom raised issues against the Company during the arbitration procedure. An arbitration decision was issued on December 24, 2018 in the Company’s favor and denied SuperCom’s claims. The Arbitrator ordered SuperCom to disclose the financial information regarding the earn-out payments that the Company is entitled to receive, and to pay the Company accordingly, or otherwise pay the Company the maximum earn-out amount, which equals $1,500 minus the earn-out amounts that were already paid by SuperCom to the Company. As of the date hereof, the said arbitration verdict has been validated as a court verdict, and the Company is currently taking actions to enforce it.

 

The Company records the earn-out payments only when the consideration is determined to be realizable. The Company did not record or receive any contingent consideration during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

2.In December 2018, the Company completed the sale of its medical smart cards operation (“Medismart”) (formerly part of the Company’s “Other segment”) to Smart Applications International Limited (“Smart”) for a total price of $2,750. The Company has determined that the sale of the Medismart business qualifies as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results and the cash flows of this operation for all reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations (see also Note 8). All prior periods’ information has been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

 

D.Events in the reporting period

 

1.On May 24, 2019, ASEC S.A. (Spolka Akcyjna), the Polish subsidiary of the Company (hereinafter – “ASEC”), entered into a loan agreement with PKO Bank Polski, a Polish bank (hereinafter – “the Lender”). The agreement provides that the Lender will grant an overdraft facility to ASEC in the amount of $2,000. On May 24, 2019 the Lender loaned to ASEC the full amount of the loan, secured by certain assets of ASEC (hereinafter – “the Secured Loan”). The Secured Loan matures on May 23, 2020. The loan will be payable in full on maturity (with option of early repayment by ASEC) and the interest will be paid on a monthly basis. The Secured Loan bears interest at an annual interest rate based on 1-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.8%, or currently approximately 3.8% in total. The agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others, failures to repay any amounts due to the Lender, breaches or defaults under the terms of the agreement, etc. If an event of default occurs, the Lender may reduce the amount of the Secured Loan, demand an additional security or terminate the agreement.

D.Events in the reporting period (cont’d)

 

2.In January 2019, the Company signed agreements pursuant to which the Company will lease offices in Yokne’am and in Rosh Pina, Israel (in lieu of the current leased headquarters building in Rosh Pina). The operating lease periods of those buildings in Yokne’am and in Rosh Pina are five years and four years, respectively (excluding the extension-periods, as mentioned in the agreements), and will commence in the fourth quarter of 2019 and commenced in the third quarter of 2019, respectively. The total annual rent expenses of both offices, including management fees and excluding construction costs-reimbursement, are expected to be approximately NIS 650 ($187). The construction costs-reimbursement are expected to be approximately NIS 3,450 ($990) that will be paid during the lease period.

 

3.In March 2019, OTI Petrosmart (Pty), Ltd., the South African subsidiary (hereinafter – “Petrosmart”), entered into an agreement pursuant to which Petrosmart agreed to sell its head office in Cape Town, South Africa, to a third party for consideration of Rand 15,500 (approximately $1,100), and Petrosmart agreed to lease back this building for its current operations. The sale has been completed and the operating lease commenced during the third quarter of 2019. The leaseback period is three years. The annual rent for the first year is approximately Rand 1,800 (approximately $119) and will be increased by 8.5% each year. Petrosmart has the right to extend the lease by two years. The Company recognized a profit in the amount of approximately $328 during the third quarter in 2019 due to the sale of the building. This profit is presented within ‘other (gain) expenses, net’ in the statements of operations.

 

The Company does not record right-of-use asset and operating lease liability regarding the building in Yokne’am (Israel), as mentioned above, in its consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019, due to the fact that the commencement date of the lease period is subsequent to the balance sheet date – see also Note 2A. The Company expects an increase of approximately $1,600 in the right-of-use assets and in the lease liabilities on the first-time-recognition in this lease.

 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Except as described below, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the same accounting policies as those discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

A.Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for most leases, whereas until December 31, 2018, only financing-type lease liabilities (capital leases) were recognized on the balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

A.Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)

 

In addition, the definition of a lease in the ASU has been revised with respect to when an arrangement conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset under the arrangement, which may result in changes to the classification of an arrangement as a lease. The ASU does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors’ accounting under the ASU is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements.

 

The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 commencing from January 1, 2019, under the effective date method. In accordance with the effective date method, comparative periods are not restated, and the Company needs to record a cumulative-effect adjustment within its accumulated deficit in the equity on January 1, 2019, without reclassification of previous financial statements. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess its prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under the new standard and also elect the practical expedient pertaining to the use-of hindsight. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of the Company’s leases, other than leases of real estate. Additionally, following the adoption of the new standard and in subsequent measurements, the Company applies the portfolio approach to account for the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities for certain leases and incremental borrowing rates.

 

The Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of the adoption of the new standard. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the results of operations and cash flows. See Note 5 for the impact on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, and additional disclosures, as required by the new standard.

 

B.Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 – Leases

 

The Company leases a limited number of assets, mainly offices and cars for use in its operations. The Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 842, “Leases”, and all the related amendments on January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as Company’s date of initial application.

 

As of September 30, 2019, right-of-use assets due to operating leases are $1,930 )as of January 1, 2019 - $1,572) and the liabilities due to operating leases are $1,936 (as of January 1, 2019 - $1,572), out of which $1,204 are classified as long-term liabilities and $732 are classified as current liabilities (see Note 4).

 

The Company includes renewal options that it is reasonably certain to exercise in the measurement of the lease liabilities. The remaining operating lease periods of the leases range from less than one year to six years as of September 30, 2019. The weighted average remaining lease term is 2.3 years as of September 30, 2019.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

A.Legal claims

 

1.In June 2013, prior to the Company’s divestiture of its SmartID division, Merwell Inc. (“Merwell”) filed a claim against the Company before an agreed-upon arbitrator alleging breach of contract in connection with certain commissions claimed to be owed to Merwell with respect to the division’s activities in Tanzania.  These activities, along with all other activities of the SmartID division, were later assigned to and assumed by SuperCom in its purchase of the division. SuperCom undertook to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless against any liabilities the Company may incur in connection with Merwell’s consulting agreement and the arbitration. An arbitration decision was issued on February 21, 2016, awarding Merwell approximately $855 for outstanding commissions, plus expenses and legal fees and ordering the Company to provide further financial details that might result in additional payments to Merwell.  The arbitration decision had been appealed and the appeal was denied on June 17, 2018. In order to collect the award, Merwell filed a motion against the Company and the Nazareth District Court issued a judgment requiring the Company to pay Merwell an amount of approximately NIS 5,080 (approximately $1,370) that was paid by the Company on January 8, 2019. As mentioned above, based on the agreement with SuperCom from April 2016 (which was granted an effect of a court judgment), SuperCom is liable for all the costs and liabilities arising out of this claim. On February 17, 2019, the Company initiated an arbitration process (the “Arbitration”) to collect from SuperCom the amount paid to Merwell which SuperCom failed to pay, and to assure that SuperCom will pay any additional amounts, if required in the future. On March 26, 2019, SuperCom filed a petition to the Tel-Aviv District Court, asking to order that the dispute will be conducted in Court and not in arbitration. On October 29, 2019, a hearing was conducted in court regarding SuperCom’s petition, and at the end of the hearing, following the court’s recommendation, SuperCom agreed to withdraw its petition. As a result, the court gave a verdict ordering that the Arbitration will continue. On the same day, the Company approached the arbitrator, asking to renew the Arbitration, and on October 30, 2019 the arbitrator scheduled a preliminary hearing.

 

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, include a provision for the full amount paid. Despite the fact that, based on the assessment of the Company’s external legal counsel, the likelihood to succeed in the arbitration process (or other legal procedure in that matter) is high, the Company did not record an indemnification asset as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, in accordance with accounting standard ASC 450.

 

2.On June 12, 2019, Merwell submitted a complementary claim against the Company in arbitration, with respect to the additional financial details that Merwell claims that the Company was ordered to provide according to the arbitration verdict from February 21, 2016, and additional payments that Merwell claims that the Company is obligated to pay Merwell. The said financial details refer to the quantity of smart driving licenses that Merwell claims were issued in the later period of a project in Tanzania in which Merwell claims to have provided services to the Company. Merwell claims that despite the Company’s failure to provide the details, Merwell obtained the details independently from other sources, and they indicate that the Company is obligated to pay Merwell an additional amount of $1,619. The Company rejects the details that were presented by Merwell and their validity, and also raised preliminary claims that this matter cannot be determined in arbitration, but only in court, since the relevant data is held by SuperCom, who is not a party to the arbitration agreement with Merwell, but issued the licenses in the relevant period and therefore is a necessary party to the dispute. The Company filed an application to the arbitrator, and on August 8, 2019, the arbitrator determined that the Company’s procedural claims should be heard and determined in court. Following that decision, on September 8, 2019, the Company filed a petition to the Tel-Aviv District Court, asking it to order that Merwell’s claims in the complementary procedure will be heard in court and not in arbitration. On October 22, 2019, Merwell submitted its response to the court. As of the date of this report, a hearing in the petition has not yet scheduled. Based on the assessment of the Company’s external legal counsel, given the preliminary stage of the procedure, it is difficult, at this point, to estimate the chances of Merwell’s claims for a complementary arbitration verdict.

A.Legal claims (cont’d)

  

3.In October 2013, a financial claim was filed against the Company and its then French subsidiary, Parx France (in this paragraph, together, the “Defendants”), in the Commercial Court of Paris, France (in this paragraph, the “Court”). The sum of the claim is €1,500 (approximately $1,708) and is based on the allegation that the plaintiff sustained certain losses in connection with Defendants not granting the plaintiff exclusive marketing rights to distribute and operate the Defendants’ PIAF Parking System in Paris and the Ile of France. On October 25, 2017, the Court issued its ruling in this matter dismissing all claims against the Company but ordering Parx France to pay the plaintiff €50 ($57) plus interest in damages plus another approximately €5 ($6) in other fees and penalties. The Company offered to pay the amounts mentioned above to the plaintiff in consideration for not filing future appeals. The Plaintiff rejected this offer and filed an appeal against Parx France and the Company claiming the sum of €503 ($573) plus interest and expenses. The Company will submit its answer to the appeal by November 7, 2019, and the appeal hearing is scheduled for December 5, 2019. Based on the assessment of the Company’s external legal counsel, the Company’s management is of the opinion that the chances of the appeal being approved against the Company are low.

 

4.In July, 2019, the Company received a request (the “Request”), to allow a petitioner to submit a class action, which concerns the petitioner’s claims that, inter alia, through the EasyPark card, drivers are permitted to exceed the quota of permitted hours in accordance with the instructions of various local authorities in Israel. The Request was submitted against a company (the “Buyer’s Company”) incorporated by the buyer of the assets (including the parking activity) of the Israeli subsidiaries of the Company (the “Company’s Subsidiaries”) and against two other companies that operate technological means for payment for public parking spaces scattered throughout the cities. Since the majority of potential claims against the Company’s Subsidiaries relate to the period following the sale of the Company’s Subsidiaries’ assets, including the parking activity, it appears that the Company’s exposure through this channel is limited. Furthermore, even if payment will be required, the buyer would be liable for the majority of such payment. Therefore the Company will not participate in such procedure at this stage. Based on the assessment of the Company’s external legal counsel, the exposure of the Company cannot be assessed at this point.

 

B.Guarantees

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has granted performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $387. The expiration dates of the guarantees range from April 2020 to September 2021.

Note 7 – Revenues (cont’d)

 

Performance obligations

 

Below is a listing of performance obligations for the Company’s main revenue streams:

 

A.Cashless payment products –

 

The performance obligation is the selling of contactless payment products. Most of those products are Near Field Communication (NFC) readers. For such sales the performance obligation, transfer of control and revenue recognition occur when the products are delivered.

 

Below is a listing of performance obligations for the Company’s main revenue streams (cont’d):

 

B.Complete cashless payment solutions –

 

The complete solution includes selling of products and complementary services, as follows:

 

1.Sales of products

 

Selling of contactless payment products (see A above) together with payment gateways and machine-to-machine controllers.

 

Selling of petroleum payment solutions including site and vehicle equipment.

 

For such sales, the performance obligation, transfer of control and revenue recognition occur when the products are delivered.

 

2.Licensing fees, transaction fees and services -

 

The types of arrangements and their main performance obligations are as follows:

 

To provide terminal management system licensing for software that is responsible for remote terminal management and cloud-based software licensing which provide data insights. For such services, the revenue recognition occurs as the services are rendered since the performance obligation is satisfied over time.

 

To enable loading and sale of electronic contactless and paper cards. For such transaction fees, the revenue recognition occurs on the transaction date.

 

To provide technical and customer services for products. For such services, the performance obligation is satisfied over time and therefore revenue recognition occurs as the services are rendered.

 

The Company includes a warranty in connection with certain contracts with customers, which are not considered to be separate performance obligations. The cost to the Company of this warranty is insignificant.

Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional based upon contractual billing schedules.

 

Transaction price and variable consideration

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. In certain arrangements with variable consideration, revenue is recognized over time as it mainly is attributed to ongoing services provided. An immaterial amount which is related to the product is not recognized upon delivery since it is not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments bearing interest, accounts receivable, restricted deposits for employee benefits, accounts payable and short-term and long-term loans.

 

Fair value for the measurement of financial assets and liabilities is defined as 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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs for fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments (cont’d)

 

By distinguishing between inputs that are observable in the market place, and therefore more objective, and those that are unobservable and therefore more subjective, the hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measurements. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company, in estimating fair value for financial instruments, determined that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term bank credit and trade payables are equivalent to, or approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

The carrying amounts of variable interest rate long-term loans are equivalent or approximate to their fair value as they bear interest at approximate market rates.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company held approximately $1,905 of short-term bank deposits (as of December 31, 2018, $1,078).

Overview

 

We are a fintech pioneer and leading developer of cutting-edge secure cashless payment solutions providing global enterprises with innovative technology for almost three decades. We operate in two main segments: (1) Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing; and (2) Petroleum. As a result of the closing of the MediSmart Transaction in December 2018, we no longer report our “Other” segment.

 

Our field-proven suite of cashless payment solutions is based on an extensive IP portfolio including registered patents and patent applications worldwide. Since our incorporation in 1990, we have built reputation internationally for reliability and innovation, deploying a large number of solutions for the unattended retail, mass transit, banking, medical and petroleum industries.

 

We operate a global network of regional offices and distributors to support various solutions deployed across the globe.

 

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in “Item 1.  Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC.

 

Results of Operations

 

Discontinued operations. In December 2013, we completed the sale of certain assets, certain subsidiaries and IP directly related to our SmartID division. The results from such operations and the cash flows for the reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.

 

In December 2018, we completed the sale of our medical smart card’s operation, or Medismart, (formerly part of the Company’s “Other segment”) to Smart Applications International Limited, or Smart, for a total price of $2.75 million. We have determined that the sale of the Medismart business qualifies as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results and the cash flows of this operation for all reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.

 

All the data in this Quarterly Report that are derived from our financial statements, unless otherwise specified, exclude the results of those discontinued operations.

Three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018

 

Sources of Revenue

 

We have historically derived a substantial majority of our revenues from the sale of our products, including both complete systems and original equipment manufacturer components and also less significantly, from engineering services, customer services and technical support. In addition, we generate revenues from licensing and transaction fees. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the revenues that we derived from sales and licensing and transaction fees were as follows (in thousands):

 

  

Three months ended

September 30,

 
   2019   2018 
Sales  $2,631   $4,760 
Licensing and transaction fees  $1,234   $1,339 
 Total revenues  $3,865   $6,099 

 

Sales. Sales decreased by $2.1 million, or 45%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease in Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing segment sales of our products in Japan and sales of readers in Europe and to a decrease in Petroleum products in the United States, partially offset by an increase in sales of readers in the United States.

 

Licensing and transaction fees. Licensing and transaction fees include single and periodic payments for distribution rights for our products as well as licensing our IP rights to third parties. Transaction fees are paid by customers based on the volume of transactions processed by systems that contain our products. Our licensing and transaction fees in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, decreased by $105,000, or 8%. The decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease in our licensing and transaction fees in Europe.

 

We have historically derived revenues from different geographical areas. The following table sets forth our revenues, by dollar amount (in thousands) and as a percentage of quarterly revenues in different geographical areas, in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

 

Three months ended September 30,  Africa   Europe   APAC   Americas 
2019  $492    13%  $1,714    44%  $214    6%  $1,445    37%
2018  $618    10%  $2,517    41%  $1,548    26%  $1,416    23%

 

Our revenues from sales in Africa decreased by $126,000, or 20%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of Petroleum products.

 

Our revenues from sales in Europe decreased by $803,000, or 32%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease of sales of readers and to a lesser extent to a decrease of licensing and transaction fees.

 

Our revenues from sales in Asia-Pacific region, or APAC, decreased by $1.3 million, or 86%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of our Uno Plus and GoBox products in Japan.

 

Our revenues from sales in Americas in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, remained consistent mainly due to an increase in sales of readers in our Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing segment offset by a decrease in Petroleum products.

 

Our revenues derived from outside the United States are primarily received in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and accordingly have a varying impact upon our total revenues as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates.

The following table sets forth our revenues by dollar amount (in thousands) and as a percentage of revenues by segments, during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

 

Three months ended September 30,  Retail and Mass
Transit Ticketing
   Petroleum 
2019  $2,935    76%  $930    24%
2018  $4,781    78%  $1,318    22%

 

Our revenues from Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing in the three months ended September 30, 2019, decreased by $1.8 million, or 39%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, mainly attributed to a decrease in sales in Japan and a decrease in sales of readers in Europe, partially offset by an increase in sales of readers in the United States.

 

Our revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2019, from Petroleum decreased by $389,000, or 30%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of Petroleum products in the United States.

 

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

 

Our cost of revenues, presented by gross profit and gross margin percentage, in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

Cost of revenues  Three months ended September 30, 
   2019   2018 
         
Cost of sales  $2,161   $2,870 
Gross profit  $1,704   $3,229 
Gross margin percentage   44%   53%

 

Cost of sales.  Cost of sales consists primarily of materials, as well as salaries, fees to subcontractors and related costs of our technical staff that assemble our products. The decrease of $709,000, or 25%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, resulted primarily from a decrease in sales and as a result of inventory adjustments.

 

Gross margin. The decrease in gross margin in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, is mainly attributed to inventory adjustments and to a change in our revenue mix.

Operating expenses

 

Our operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, were as follows (in thousands):

General and administrative  $1,070   $1,099 
Other (gain) expenses, net  $(335)  $- 
Total operating expenses  $2,768   $3,455 

 

Research and development.  Our research and development expenses consist primarily of the salaries and related expenses of our research and development staff, as well as subcontracting expenses. The increase of $75,000, or 10%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, is primarily attributed to an increase in subcontractor expenses.

 

Selling and marketing.  Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and substantially all of the expenses of our sales and marketing subsidiaries and offices in the United States, South Africa and Europe, as well as expenses related to advertising, professional expenses and participation in exhibitions and tradeshows. The decrease of $399,000, or 25%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, is primarily attributed to a decrease in marketing and advertising expenses and to a lesser extent to a decrease in employment expenses.

 

General and administrative.  Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of our executive management and financial and administrative staff. These expenses also include costs of our professional advisors (such as legal and accounting), office expenses and insurance. Our general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, is primarily attributed to a capital gain from the sale of a building by our South African subsidiary.

 

Other (gain) expenses, net. Our other (gain) expenses, net, are primarily attributed to a capital gain from the sale of a building by our South African subsidiary.

 

Financing expenses, net

 

Our financing expenses, net, in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, were as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three months ended September 30, 
   2019   2018 
Financing expenses, net  $(93)  $(2)

 

Financing expenses consist primarily of interest payable on bank loans, bank commissions and foreign exchange losses. Financing income consists primarily of foreign exchange gains and interest earned on investments in short-term deposits. The decrease in financing expenses, net in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, of $91,000, is mainly attributed to exchange rate differentials.

Net loss from continuing operations

 

Our net loss from continuing operations in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, was as follows (in thousands):

 

  

Three months ended

September 30,

 
   2019   2018 
Net loss from continuing operations  $(1,174)  $(226)

 

The decrease in the net loss from continuing operations of $948,000, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, is mainly due to a decrease in our sales, partially offset by a decrease in our operating expenses, as described above.

 

Net (loss) income from discontinued operations

 

Our net (loss) income from discontinued operations in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, was as follows (in thousands):

   2019   2018 
Net (loss) income from discontinued operations  $(36)  $42 

 

The results from these operations for the reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The change of $78,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, is mainly due to income related to the MediSmart activity in 2018.

 

Net loss

 

Our net loss in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, was as follows (in thousands):

 

  

Three months ended

September 30,

 
   2019   2018 
Net (loss) income  $(1,210)  $(184)

 

The increase in net loss of $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, is primarily due to a decrease in our sales, partially offset by a decrease in our operating expenses, as described above.

Nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 

 

Sources of Revenue

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the revenues that we derived from sales and licensing and transaction fees were as follows (in thousands):

Sales. Sales decreased by $6.0 million, or 45%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease in sales of readers and Petroleum products in the United States and to sales in Japan.

 

Licensing and transaction fees. Our licensing and transaction fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased by $289,000, or 7%. The decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease in our licensing and transaction fees in Europe.

 

We have historically derived revenues from different geographical areas.  The following table sets forth our revenues (in thousands) and as a percentage of revenues in different geographical areas, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

 

Nine months ended September 30,  Africa   Europe   APAC   Americas

2018  $1,859    11%  $6,313    36%  $2,794    16%  $6,384    37%

 

Our revenues from sales in Africa decreased by $332,000, or 18%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of Petroleum products.

 

Our revenues from sales in Europe decreased by $680,000, or 11%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in our licensing and transaction fees and to a lesser extent to a decrease in sales of readers.

 

Our revenues from sales in APAC decreased by $1.9 million, or 69%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales in the Japanese market.

 

Our revenues from sales in Americas decreased by $3.4 million, or 54%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of readers to the U.S. market that we believe was derived from new tariffs that were presented by the U.S. administration on goods imported from China to the U.S. market and to a decrease in sales of Petroleum products in Americas. As a result of the above mentioned tariffs, we have relocated our production from China to the Philippines.

 

Our revenues derived from outside the United States are primarily received in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and accordingly have a varying impact upon our total revenues as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity since our inception have been sales of our products and services, sales of equity securities, borrowings from banks, cash from the exercise of options and warrants and proceeds from divestiture of parts of our businesses. We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments representing bank deposits of $5.3 million as of September 30, 2019 (of which an amount of $105,000 has been pledged as security in respect of performance guarantees granted to third parties, loans and credit lines received from a bank), and $5.9 million as of December 31, 2018 (of which an amount of $278,000 had then been pledged as security in respect of performance guarantees granted to third parties, loans and credit lines received from a bank).  We believe that we have sufficient capital resources to fund our operations in the next 12 months. We are looking for additional resources of capital, including investment in our equity securities and loans, to finance our operations.  As of September 30, 2019, our long-term bank loans are denominated in South African Rand ($26,000, with maturity dates ranging from 2019 through 2023).

 

In March 2019, OTI Petrosmart (Pty), Ltd., our South African subsidiary, or Petrosmart, entered into an agreement pursuant to which Petrosmart agreed to sell its head office in Cape Town, South Africa, to a third party for a consideration of Rand 15,500,000 (approximately $1.1 million), and Petrosmart agreed to lease back this building for its current operations. The sale was completed, and the operating lease commenced during the third quarter of 2019.

 

Our composition of long-term loans as of September 30, 2019, was as follows (in thousands):

Such deposits cannot be pledged to others or withdrawn without the consent of the bank.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we granted guarantees to third parties including performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $387,000. The expiration dates of the guarantees range from April 2020 to September 2021.

On May 24, 2019, or, the Lender loaned to the Subsidiary the full amount of the Loan Commitment, secured by certain assets of the Subsidiary, or the Secured Loan. The Secured Loan matures on May 23, 2020.

The Secured Loan bears interest at an annual interest rate based on 1-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.8%, or currently approximately 3.8% in total. The Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others, failures to repay any amounts due to the Lender, breaches or defaults under the terms of the Agreement, etc. If an event of default occurs, the Lender may reduce the amount of the Secured Loan, demand an additional security or terminate the Agreement.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

In December 2013, we completed the sale of certain assets, subsidiaries and intellectual property, or IP, relating to our Smart ID division, for a total purchase price of $10,000,000 in cash and an additional $12,500,000 subject to performance-based milestones. On April 20, 2016, the purchaser of the Smart ID division, SuperCom Ltd., or SuperCom, and we entered into a settlement agreement resolving certain litigation between SuperCom and us pursuant to which SuperCom paid us $2,050,000 and will agree to pay us up to $1,500,000 with and subject to a certain earn-out mechanism. In November 2017, we commenced an arbitration procedure with SuperCom, in which we claim that additional earn-out payments have not been paid to us. SuperCom has also raised claims against us during the arbitration procedure. An arbitration decision was issued on December 24, 2018 in our favor and denied SuperCom’s claims. The Arbitrator ordered SuperCom to disclose the financial information regarding the earn-out payments that we are entitled to receive, and to pay us accordingly, or otherwise pay us the maximum earn-out amount, which equals $1,500,000, minus the earn-out amounts that were already paid by SuperCom to us. As of the date hereof, the said arbitration verdict has been validated as a court verdict, and the Company is currently taking actions to enforce it.

 

In June 2013, prior to our divestiture of our SmartID division, Merwell Inc., or Merwell, filed a claim against us before an agreed-upon arbitrator alleging breach of contract in connection with certain commissions claimed to be owed to Merwell with respect to the division’s activities in Tanzania. These activities, along with all other activities of the SmartID division were later assigned to and assumed by SuperCom Ltd., or SuperCom, in its purchase of the division. SuperCom undertook to indemnify us and hold us harmless against any liabilities we may incur in connection with Merwell’s consulting agreement and the arbitration. An arbitration decision was issued on February 21, 2016, awarding Merwell $854,912 for outstanding commissions and ordering the Company to provide further financial details that might result in additional payments to Merwell. The arbitration decision had been appealed by SuperCom (on behalf of the Company) but the appeal was denied. In order to collect the award, Merwell filed a motion against the Company and on January 7, 2019 the Nazareth District Court issued a judgment requiring the Company to pay Merwell an amount of NIS 5,078,581 (approximately $1,370,000). On January 8, 2019, we paid Merwell such amount. As mentioned above, based on the agreement with SuperCom (which was granted an effect of a court judgment), we deem SuperCom to be liable for all the costs and liabilities arising out of this claim. On February 17, 2019, we initiated an arbitration process, or the Arbitration, to collect from SuperCom the amount paid to Merwell which SuperCom failed to pay, and to assure that SuperCom will pay any additional amounts, if required in the future. On March 26, 2019, SuperCom filed a petition to the Tel-Aviv District Court, asking to order that the dispute will be conducted in Court and not in arbitration. On October 29, 2019, a hearing was conducted in court regarding SuperCom’s petition, and at the end of the hearing, following the court’s recommendation, SuperCom agreed to withdraw its petition. As a result, the court gave a verdict ordering that the Arbitration will continue. On the same day, the Company approached the arbitrator, asking to renew the Arbitration, and on October 30, 2019 the arbitrator scheduled a preliminary hearing.

 

On June 12, 2019, Merwell submitted a complementary claim against the Company in arbitration, with respect to the additional financial details that Merwell claims that the Company was ordered to provide according to the arbitration verdict from February 21, 2016, and additional payments that Merwell claims that the Company is obligated to pay Merwell. The said financial details refer to the quantity of smart driving licenses that Merwell claims were issued in the later period of a project in Tanzania in which Merwell claims to have provided services to the Company. Merwell claims that despite the Company’s failure to provide the details, Merwell obtained the details independently from other sources, and they indicate that the Company is obligated to pay Merwell an additional amount of $1,618,792. The Company rejects the details that were presented by Merwell and their validity, and also raised preliminary claims that this matter cannot be determined in arbitration, but only in court, since the relevant data is held by SuperCom, who is not a party to the arbitration agreement with Merwell, but issued the licenses in the relevant period and therefore is a necessary party to the dispute. The Company filed an application to the arbitrator, and on August 8, 2019, the arbitrator determined that the Company’s procedural claims should be heard and determined in court. Following that decision, on September 8, 2019, the Company filed a petition to the Tel-Aviv District Court, asking it to order that Merwell’s claims in the complementary procedure will be heard in court and not in arbitration. On October 22, 2019, Merwell submitted its response to the court. As of the date of this report, a hearing in the petition has not yet scheduled.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

In February 2019, the Company issued to MZHCI LLC 30,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company for fully performed services provided to the Company. We issued these shares pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 5. Other Information.

Notwithstanding the above, under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a company has the right to overrule the resolution of the general meeting of the company’s shareholders to not approve proposed changes to the company’s compensation policy, if certain conditions are being met. Accordingly, and pursuant to the Companies Law, on November 5, 2019, the Company’s board of directors, or the Board, approved the same proposed amendments to the Compensation Policy, as were included in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed on August 23, 2019. Prior to such approval, the Compensation Committee of the Company and thereafter the Board, discussed the suggested amendments to the Compensation Policy, and determined that notwithstanding the outcome of the General Meeting, the approval of the amendments to the Compensation Policy is in the Company’s best interest.
