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 Nasdaq Capital Market (formerly listed on the Nasdaq Global Market until April 13, 2016).

 

At March 31, 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 three month period ended March 31, 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.

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

 

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.

 

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. On February 7, 2019, SuperCom filed an application to the District Court in Tel Aviv to cancel the said arbitration decision and the Company submitted a response to the application on March 19, 2019.

 

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 three months ended March 31, 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. 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 expected to commence in the middle of 2019. The total annual rent expenses of both offices, including management fees and excluding construction costs-reimbursement, are expected to be approximately NIS 650 ($180). The construction costs-reimbursement are expected to be approximately NIS 3,450 ($950) that will be paid during the lease period.

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

 

2. In March 2019, OTI Petrosmart (Pty), Ltd., the South African subsidiary (hereinafter – “Petrosmart”), entered into an agreement pursuant to which Petrosmart will sell its head office in Cape Town, South Africa, to a third party for a consideration of Rand 15,500 (approximately $1,064), that will be received on the date of the sale, and Petrosmart will lease back this building for its current operations. Subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, the sale is expected to be completed and the operating lease is expected to commence on July 1, 2019. The leaseback period is three years. The annual rent for the first year will be approximately Rand 1,800 (approximately $124) and will be increased by 8.5% each year. Petrosmart has the right to extend the lease by two years. As of March 31, 2019, this building’s book value is $772 and is presented as asset held for sale within ‘current assets’.

 

The Company does not record right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities regarding those buildings, as mentioned above, in its consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019, due to the fact that the commencement date of the lease periods is subsequent to the balance sheet date – see also Note 2A. The Company is in the process of determining the final terms of those leases, including the commencement date of the lease periods, and evaluating their impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

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.

 

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.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

A. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)

 

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2019, right-of-use assets due to operating leases are $1,381 (as of January 1, 2019 - $1,572) and the liabilities due to operating leases are $1,388 (as of January 1, 2019 - $1,572), out of which $857 are classified as long-term liabilities and $531 are classified as current liabilities.

 

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 March 31, 2019. The weighted average remaining lease term is 2.6 as of March 31, 2019.

 

The following is a schedule of the maturities of operating lease liabilities for the next five years as of March 31, 2019, and thereafter:

 

Remainder of 2019   $ 393  
2020     346  
2021     274  
2022     159  
2023     137  
Thereafter     152  
Total leases payments     1,461  
Less - discount     73  
Operating lease liabilities   $ 1,388  

 

As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average discount rate of the operating leases is approximately 4.1%.

 

Operating lease costs and cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of the lease liabilities were approximately $180 during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Operating lease costs include fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index or rate. There are no other significant variable lease payments.

 

The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement.

 

The following is a schedule of the maturities of operating lease liabilities for the next five years as of December 31, 2018, and thereafter:

 

2019   $ 523  
2020     350  
2021     277  
2022     163  
2023     140  
Thereafter     156  
Total leases payments   $ 1,609

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.  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. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company initiated an arbitration process to collect from SuperCom, the amount paid to Merwell, which SuperCom failed to pay as of the date hereof.

 

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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, in accordance with accounting standard ASC 450.

 

2. 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 $1,684) 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 ($56) 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 ($565) 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.

 

B. Guarantees

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has granted performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $271. The expiration dates of the guarantees range from April 2019 to June 2019.

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.

Note 7 - Revenues (cont’d)

 

Performance obligations (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.

 

Contract balances

 

    March 31     December 31  
    2019     2018  
Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts   $ 2,707     $ 4,530  
Customer advances   $ 60     $ 141  

 

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 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.

 

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 and long term bank loans 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 March 31, 2019, the Company held approximately $905 of short-term bank deposits (as of December 31, 2018 - $1,078). As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, short-term deposits in the amount of $105 and $278, 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 10 - Equity

 

A. Stock option plans

 

During each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, are $0.7 and $1.33, 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:

 

    Three months ended
March 31
 
    2019     2018  
Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %
Expected volatility     79 %     80 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.47 %     1.92 %
Expected life - in years     2.44       2.33  

 

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. Estimated expected lives are based on historical grants data.

 

The Company’s options activity (including options to non-employees) and options outstanding and options exercisable as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, are summarized in the following table:

 

    Number of

As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $236 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.18 years.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, and March 31, 2018, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses in the amount of $46 and $53, respectively, in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”

 

B. Warrants

 

1. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, no warrants expired or were exercised into ordinary shares.
2. As of March 31, 2019, 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 1,595,666 and 1,558,333 outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per ordinary share because all such securities have an anti-dilutive effect for all periods presented.

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, 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 an international reputation 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.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018

 

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

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 March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the revenues that we derived from sales and licensing and transaction fees were as follows (in thousands):

 

    Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2019     2018  
Sales   $ 1,722     $ 4,241  
Licensing and transaction fees   $ 1,291     $ 1,271  
 Total revenues   $ 3,013     $ 5,512  
                 

Sales. Sales decreased by $2.5 million, or 59%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease in sales in the United States and Japan. 

 

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 remained consistent.

 

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, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018:

 

Three months ended
March 31,
  Americas     

Europe 

   

Africa

   

APAC

 
2019   $ 641       21 %   $ 1,646       55 %   $ 573       19 %   $ 153       5 %
2018   $ 2,238       41 %   $ 1,674       30 %   $ 536       10 %   $ 1,064       19 %

 

Our revenues from sales in Americas decreased by $1.6 million, or 71%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of readers to the U.S. market.

 

Our revenues from sales in Europe in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, remained consistent.

 

Our revenues from sales in Africa increased by $37,000, or 7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, mainly due to an increase in sales of Petroleum products.

Our revenues from sales in the Asia-Pacific region, or APAC, decreased by $911,000, or 86%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of our Uno Plus and GoBox products in Japan.

 

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, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018:

 

Three months ended
March 31,
  Retail and Mass
Transit Ticketing
    Petroleum  
2019   $ 2,193       73 %   $ 820       27 %
2018   $ 4,570       83 %   $ 942       17 %

 

Our revenues from Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing in the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $2.4 million, or 52%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, mainly attributed to a decrease in sales of readers in United States and due a decrease in sales in the Japanese market.

 

Our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from Petroleum decreased by $122,000, or 13%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in sales of Petroleum products in Asia.

 

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

 

Our cost of revenues, presented by gross profit and gross margin percentage, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

Cost of Revenues   Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2019     2018  
Cost of sales   $ 1,370     $ 2,632  
Gross profit   $ 1,643     $ 2,880  
Gross margin percentage     55 %     52 %

 

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 $1.3 million, or 48%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulted primarily from the decrease in revenues mainly attributed to the decrease in Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing segment sales in the United States and in Japan.

 

Gross margin. The increase in gross margin percentage in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, is mainly attributed to a change in our revenue mix.

Operating expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, were as follows (in thousands):

 

Operating expenses   Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2019     2018  
Research and development   $ 871     $ 820  
Selling and marketing   $ 1,285     $ 1,645  
General and administrative   $ 965     $ 907  
Total operating expenses   $ 3,121     $ 3,372  

 

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 $51,000, or 6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 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 $360,000, or 22%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, is primarily attributed to a decrease in employment expenses and to a lesser extent to a decrease 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 legal and accounting), office expenses, insurance, provision for doubtful accounts and patent maintenance expenses which consist of professional advisors of our patents and other IP. Our general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, increase of $58,000 or 6%, is primarily attributed due to an increase in professional expenses.

Financing expenses, net

 

Our financing expenses, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, were as follows (in thousands):

 

    Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2019     2018  
Financing expenses, net   $ (69 )   $ (32 )

 

Financing expenses, net consist primarily of financing expense related to interest payable on bank loans, bank commissions and foreign exchange differentials, partially offset by financing income related to interest earned on investments in short-term deposits. The increase in financing expenses, net of $37,000, or 116%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, is mainly due to an exchange rate differential, partially offset by a decrease in interest expenses.

 

Net loss from continuing operations

 

Our net loss   from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, was as follows (in thousands):

 

    Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2019     2018  
Net loss from continuing operations   $ (1,552 )   $ (400 )

 

The increase in our net loss   from continuing operations of $1.2 million, or 288%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, is mainly due to a decrease in our sales and a decrease in our gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in our operating expenses, as described above.

 

Net loss from discontinued operations

 

Our net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, was as follows (in thousands):

 

    Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2019     2018  
Net (loss) income from discontinued operations   $ (193 )   $ 67  

 

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 in the discontinued operations results of $260,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, is mainly due to income related to the MediSmart activity in 2018 and in a lesser amount expenses related to SmartID divestiture in 2019.

Net loss

 

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, was as follows (in thousands):

 

    Three months ended
March 31,
 
    2019     2018  
Net loss   $ (1,745 )   $ (333 )

 

The increase in net loss of $1.4 million, or 424%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, is primarily due to a decrease in our sales, a decrease in our gross profit and an increase in net loss from discontinued operations, partially offset by a decrease in our operating expenses, as described above.

 

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 divestiture of part of our businesses. As of March 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments representing bank deposits of $4.9 million (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 for at least the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2019, our long-term bank loans are denominated in the following currencies: Polish Zloty ($138,000, with maturity dates during 2019) and South African Rand ($40,000, with maturity dates ranging from 2019 through 2023). As of March 31, 2019, these loans bear weighted average annual interest of 4.66%.

 

In March 2019, OTI Petrosmart (Pty), Ltd., our South African subsidiary, or Petrosmart, entered into an agreement pursuant to which Petrosmart will sell its head office in Cape Town, South Africa, to a third party for a consideration of Rand 15,500,000 (approximately $1,064,000), that will be received on the date of the sale, and Petrosmart will lease back this building for its current operations. Subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, the sale is expected to be completed and the operating lease is expected to commence on July 1, 2019.

 

The composition of our long-term loans as of March 31, 2019, was as follows (in thousands):

 

    March 31,
2019
 
Long-term loans   $ 178  
Less - current maturities     146  
    $ 32  

 

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. Our short-term deposits in the amount of $105,000 have been pledged as security in respect of credit lines received from a bank. Such deposits cannot be pledged to others or withdrawn without the consent of the bank.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we granted guarantees to third parties including performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $271,000. The expiration dates of the guarantees range from April 2019 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 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. On February 7, 2019, SuperCom filed an application to the District Court in Tel Aviv to cancel the said arbitration decision and we submitted a response to the application on March 19, 2019.

 

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. The arbitration decision had been appealed by SuperCom 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 to collect from SuperCom the amount paid to Merwell which SuperCom failed to pay.
