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 shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The Company operates in two operating segments: (a) Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing, and (b) Petroleum. In addition to the two operating segments, certain products for the medical industry and other secure smart card solutions are classified under “Other” in segment analysis appearing in Note 10.

 

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, 2017.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

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 for material damages. The evidence in the arbitration were heard on March 6, 2018, and in the coming weeks the parties are expected to complete the submission of their written summaries, after which a decision will be given by the arbitrator. According to legal advice, the Company has good claims with respect to the issues that are included in the arbitration and the chances that the Company will be required to compensate SuperCom are low. 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, 2018 and 2017.

 

2. On September 14, 2016, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and IP related to its former parking segment to Atrinet Ltd. and its affiliated entities for a non-material amount. The Company has determined that the sale of the parking business qualifies as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results and the cash flows of these operations 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.

 

D. Event in the reporting period

 

In accordance with management’s intention to reduce the size of the Company’s external loans and accompanying credit costs, during the third quarter of 2018, the Company significantly reduced the volume of the Company’s loans from banks.

 

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, 2017.

 

A. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

1. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents in Statement of Cash Flows

 

In December 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-18 commencing from January 1, 2018. The Company has applied the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented.

2. Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes previous revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The standard requires entities to follow a five step process: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 commencing from January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis.

 

The Company did not have a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings or an impact on its revenue recognition policies or on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of the new standard. The new standard requires the Company to provide more robust disclosures than required by previous guidance – see also Note 6. In addition, when the Company has an unconditional right to receive proceeds before the performance obligation was fulfilled, it is now required to record receivables against contract liabilities.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

B. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

1. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance is intended to align the accounting for such payments to nonemployees with the existing requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 for then outstanding share-based payments to nonemployees. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2018-07 will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

2. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes 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 currently only financing-type lease liabilities (capital leases) are recognized on the balance sheet. In addition, the definition of a lease 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. Under current guidance, lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company currently expects to adopt this standard on January 1, 2019 and continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company continues the process of identifying and categorizing its lease contracts and evaluating its current business processes and systems.

 

In connection with other recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has not yet implemented and the Company’s assessment of the impacts they will have on the ongoing financial reporting, see Note 2W(4) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Note 5 - 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. The arbitration decision was appealed and the appeal was denied, and currently the awarded amount is approximately $1,050. To date SuperCom has failed to make the payment. However, as mentioned above, based on the agreement with SuperCom (which was granted an effect of a court judgement), SuperCom is liable for all the costs and liabilities arising out of this claim. Therefore, the financial statements do not include any provision for this claim.

 

2. On October 3, 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 ($1,743) 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 ($58) 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 ($584) plus interest and expenses. 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.

  

B. Guarantees

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has granted performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $365. The expiration dates of the guarantees range from October 2018 to June 2019.

Performance obligations (cont’d)

 

Below is a listing of performance obligations for our 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 occurs 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.

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

 

C. Medical and access control smart cards –

 

1. Sales of products

 

The performance obligation is the selling of readers and smart electronic cards for the purposes of human identifying. For such sales the performance obligation, transfer of control and revenue recognition occurs when the products are delivered.

 

2. Licensing fees, transaction fees and services –

 

The main performance obligation is to provide technical support. For such transaction fees that are based on actual usage, revenue recognition occurs only when usage occurs.

 

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.

 

Contract balances

 

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2018     2017  
Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts   $ 4,026     $ 5,827  
Customer advances   $ 58     $ 178  

  

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.

(*) On August 23, 2017, a judgment was issued by the Israeli Central District Court regarding the Company’s lawsuit against Harel Insurance Company Ltd. (“Harel”) for damages incurred by the Company due to flooding in a subcontractor’s manufacturing site. The judgment determined that an amount of $1,600, net be awarded to cover the Company’s damages.  On October 10, 2017, Harel submitted its appeal of the judgment to the Israeli Supreme Court as well as a request for stay of judgment.  On October 30, 2017, the Court denied the requested stay. Based on the advice of counsel, the Company currently believes that there are sufficient grounds on which to uphold the District Court’s ruling and, as such, Harel’s appeal will be denied. The appeal hearing is scheduled for May 29, 2019.

 

Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term interest bearing investments, 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 8 - 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, 2018, the Company held approximately $1,391 of short-term bank deposits (as of December 31, 2017, $3,331). As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, short-term deposits in the amount of $292 and $1,057, respectively, have been pledged as security in respect of guarantees granted in respect of performance guarantees, loans and credit lines received from a bank and cannot be pledged to others or withdrawn without the consent of the bank.

 

Note 9 – Equity

 

A. Stock option plans

  

During each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, 100,000 options were granted. The vesting period for the options is three years. The exercise prices for the options that were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, are $1.33 and $1.58, respectively. Those options expire up to five years after the date of grant. Any options which are forfeited or cancelled before expiration become available for future grants under the Company’s option plan. The fair value of each option granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 was estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:

 

     

Nine months ended

      2018     2017  
  Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %
  Expected volatility     80 %     74 %

1. Dividend yield of zero percent for all periods.
2. Expected average volatility represents a weighted average standard deviation rate for the price of the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq.
3. Risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
4. For options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 - estimated expected lives are based on historical grants data. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 estimated expected lives are according to the simplified method.

 

The Company’s options activity (including options to non-employees) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and options outstanding and options exercisable as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, are summarized in the following table:

 

      Number of     Weighted  
      options     average exercise  
      outstanding     price per share  
  Outstanding – December 31, 2017     1,495,000     $ 1.27  
                   
  Options granted     100,000       1.33  
  Options expired or forfeited     (196,335 )     1.25

  December 31, 2017     681,321     $ 1.45  
  September 30, 2018     696,655     $ 1.39  

 

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is $0.65 and $0.93, respectively, per option. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is approximately $105 and $448, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is approximately $85 and $206, respectively.

1. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, no warrants expired or were exercised into ordinary shares.
2. As of September 30, 2018, there are remaining 40,000 outstanding warrants issued to one of the Company’s consultants during 2016 with a per share exercise price of $0.95. The warrants expire during 2019.

 

C. Stock options and warrants in the amounts of 1,398,666 and 1,433,500 outstanding as of the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss from continuing operations per ordinary share because all such securities have an anti-dilutive effect for all periods presented.

 

D. Shares to non-employees

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company issued 80,000 and 45,000 ordinary shares, respectively, to its consultants. The expenses that are recognized due to those grants are immaterial and are presented within ’stock-based compensation’ in the statement of changes in equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

Overview

 

We are a fintech pioneer and a leading developer of cutting-edge secure cashless payment solutions providing global enterprises with innovative technology for over two decades. We operate in two main segments: (1) Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing; and (2) Petroleum. In addition to our two reportable segments, certain products for the medical industry and other secure smart card solutions are classified under “Other” in segment analysis appearing in this Quarterly Report.

 

Our vision is to strengthen our global presence with innovative solutions and provide our customers with the best possible support in superior service and reliable advanced products.

 

OTI continually strives to discover the technology of the future and keep abreast of new developments in the fintech marketplace. At this time, we are trying to develop Bitcoin capability in the crypto-currency marketplace and we intend to become Bitcoin acceptable in transactions via NFC, Bluetooth or QR code.

 

Our IP portfolio includes registered patents and patent applications worldwide. Since our incorporation in 1990, we have built an international reputation for reliability and innovation, deploying many solutions for unattended retail, mass transit, banking, medical smart card, Internet of Payment Things, or IoPT, and the petroleum management industries.

 

We operate a global network of regional offices, distributors and partners to support various solutions deployed across the globe. We focus on our core business of providing innovative cashless payment solutions based, among other things, on our contactless NFC technology. We continue to focus our efforts to further develop new and unique product solutions, including by the introduction of our new products and solutions for the unattended payment market and IoPT technology.

 

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.

 

Results of Operations

 

Discontinued operations . In September 2016, we completed the sale of certain assets and IP related to our parking business.

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. 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, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 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. In addition, we generate revenues from licensing and transaction fees, and also, less significantly, from engineering services, customer services and technical support. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the revenues that we derived from sales and licensing and transaction fees were as follows (in thousands):

 

   

Three months ended
September 30,

 
    2018     2017  
Sales   $ 5,020     $ 3,445  
Licensing and transaction fees   $ 1,453     $ 1,225  
 Total revenues   $ 6,473     $ 4,670  

 

Sales. Sales increased by $1.6 million, or 46%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing segment sales in Japan and Europe and to an increase in Petroleum products in the United States, partially offset by a decrease 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. 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, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $228,000, or 19%. This increase is mainly attributed to an increase in licensing and transaction fees related to our otiMetry solution in Europe and Japan and to our Mass Transit Ticketing operation 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 three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017:

 

Three months ended September 30,   Africa     Europe     APAC     Americas  
2018   $ 992       15 %   $ 2,517       39 %   $ 1,548       24 %   $ 1,416       22 %
2017   $ 999       21 %   $ 1,421       30 %   $ 73       2 %   $ 2,177       47 %

 

Our revenues from sales in Africa in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, remained consistent.

 

Our revenues from sales in Europe increased by $1.1 million, or 77%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to an increase of sales of readers and licensing and transaction fees.

 

Our revenues from sales in Asia-Pacific region, or APAC, increased by $1.5 million, or 2,020%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to an increase in sales of our Uno Plus and GoBox products in Japan.

 

Our revenues from sales in Americas decreased by $761,000, or 35%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to a decrease in sales of readers, partially offset by an increase in Petroleum products.

 

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

The following table sets forth our revenues (in thousands) and as a percentage of revenues by segments, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017:

 

Three months ended
September 30,
  Petroleum     Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing     Other

2017   $ 917       20 %   $ 3,231       69 %   $ 522       11 %

 

Our revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2018, from Petroleum increased by $400,000, or 44%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to an increase in sales of products to the U.S. market.

 

Our revenues from Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing in the three months ended September 30, 2018, increased by $1.5 million, or 47%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to an increase in sales in Japan and an increase in sales of readers in Europe, partially offset by a decrease in sales of readers in the United States.

 

Our revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2018, from our Other segment decreased by $106,000, or 20%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to a decrease in sales of our MediSmart products in East Africa.

Our cost of revenues, presented by gross profit and gross margin percentage, in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, were as follows (in thousands):

 

Cost of revenues   Three months ended
September 30,

Gross margin percentage     53 %     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 increase of $859,000, or 39%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, resulted primarily from an increase in revenues.

 

Gross margin. Gross margin in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, remained consistent.

Operating expenses

 

Our operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, were as follows (in thousands):

    2018     2017  
Research and development   $ 777     $ 823  
Selling and marketing   $ 1,592     $ 1,332  
General and administrative   $ 1,098     $ 758  
Total operating expenses   $ 3,467     $ 2,913  

 

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 decrease of $46,000, or 6%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily attributed to a decrease in research and development employment 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 increase of $260,000, or 20%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily attributed to an increase in the number of selling and marketing employees and to a lesser extent to an increase in marketing and advertising 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 lawyers and accountants), office expenses, insurance, general and administrative expenses. The increase of $340,000, or 45%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily attributed to income that we derived in 2017 from our lawsuit against Harel Insurance Company Ltd., or Harel for damages incurred by us due to flooding in a subcontractor’s manufacturing site, and to an increase in general and administrative employment expenses, partially offset by a decrease in professional expenses.

 

Financing expenses, net

 

Our financing expenses, net, in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, were as follows (in thousands):

 

    Three months ended September 30,  
    2018     2017  
Financing expenses, net   $ (2 )   $ (126 )

 

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, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, of $124,000, or 98%, is mainly attributed to exchange rate differentials and to a decrease in interest expenses due to reduction of our short-term and long-term bank loans.

The decrease in net loss from continuing operations of $415,000, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 is due to an increase in our sales and an increase in our gross profit and decrease in financial expenses, net, partially offset by an increase in our operating expenses.

 

Net (loss) income from discontinued operations

 

Our net (loss) income from discontinued operations in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, was as follows (in thousands):

    2018     2017  
Net (loss) income from discontinued operations   $ (26 )   $ 1,441  

 

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 $1.5 million in net (loss) income from discontinued operations in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, is mainly attributed to $1.6 million net, recovered by us in 2017 pursuant to the August 23, 2017 judgment of the Israeli Central District Court in a lawsuit against Harel for damages incurred by us due to flooding in a subcontractor’s manufacturing site.

 

Net (loss) income

Net (loss) income   $ (184 )   $ 868  

 

The change in net (loss) income of $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, is due to a decrease in our loss from continuing operations, offset by net income from discontinued operations in 2017, as described above.

Sales . Sales increased by $2.3 million, or 19%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing segment sales in Japan, Europe and in the United States and to an increase in Petroleum products in the United States, partially offset by a decrease in Petroleum product sales in Africa.

 

Licensing and transaction fees . Our licensing and transaction fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $567,000, or 15%.

Our revenues from sales in APAC increased by $987,000, or 55%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to an increase in sales in the Japanese market.

 

Our revenues from sales in Americas increased by $1.3 million, or 25%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to an increase in sales of Petroleum products and an increase in sales of readers to the U.S. market.

The decrease in net loss from continuing operations of $586,000, or 46%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily due to an increase in our sales and an increase in our gross profit and a decrease in financial expenses, net, partially offset by an increase in our operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity since our inception have been sales of equity securities, borrowings from banks, cash from the exercise of options and warrants and proceeds from divestitures of parts of our businesses. We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments representing bank deposits of $5.9 million as of September 30, 2018 (of which an amount of $0.3 million has been pledged to secure performance guarantees granted to third parties and guarantees to secure customer advances, loans and credit lines received from a bank), and $10.1 million as of December 31, 2017 (of which an amount of $1.0 million had then been pledged to secure performance guarantees granted to third parties and guarantees to secure customer advances, 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 adhere to an investment policy which is intended to enable the Company to avoid being classified as a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, under U.S. law. That said, we cannot provide complete assurance that PFIC status will be avoided in the future. In addition, our investment policy requires investment in high-quality investment-grade securities. As of September 30, 2018, our long-term bank loans are denominated in the following currencies: Polish Zloty ($377,000, with maturity dates ranging from 2018 through 2019) and South African Rand ($14,000, with maturity dates ranging from 2018 through 2019). As of September 30, 2018, these loans bear interest at average rate of 3.62% per annum.

 

Our composition of long-term loans as of September 30, 2018, was as follows (in thousands):

Our and certain of our subsidiaries’ manufacturing facilities and certain equipment have been pledged as security in respect of a loan received from a bank. As of September 30, 2018, our short-term deposits in the amount of $292,000 have been pledged as security in respect of guarantees granted to third parties, loans and credit lines received from a bank. Such deposits cannot be pledged to others or withdrawn without the consent of the bank.

 

As of September 30, 2018, we granted guarantees to third parties including performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $365,000. The expiration dates of the guarantees range from October 2018 to June 2019.

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 in accordance 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 also raised claims against us during the arbitration procedure for material damages. According to legal advice, the Company has good claims in the arbitration and the chances that we will be required to compensate SuperCom are low. The arbitration hearing took place on March 6, 2018, and in the coming weeks the parties are expected to complete the submission of their written summaries, after which a decision will be given by the arbitrator.

 

In June 2013, prior to the 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 in its purchase of the division. SuperCom undertook to indemnify us and hold us harmless against any liabilities that we may incur in connection with Merwell’s consulting agreement and the arbitration.  An arbitration decision was issued on February 21, 2016, awarding Merwell approximately $855,000 for outstanding commissions. The arbitration decision was appealed and the appeal was denied, and currently the awarded amount is approximately $1,050,000. To date SuperCom has failed to make the payment. However, as mentioned above, based on the agreement with SuperCom (which was granted an effect of a court judgement), SuperCom is liable for all the costs and liabilities arising out of this claim.

 

On October 3, 2013, a financial claim was filed against us and our 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 €1,500,000 ($1,743,000) 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 us but ordering Parx France to pay the plaintiff €50,000 ($58,000) plus interest in damages plus another approximately €5,000 ($6,000) in other fees and penalties. We 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 us claiming the sum of €503,000 ($584,000) plus interest and expenses. 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.
