CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

We are pleased to report the audited results of t42 for the year ended 31 December 2022: revenues were $4.04m (2021: $ 4.21m), gross margin was 42% (2021: 40%), and net losses after tax were reduced to $1.01m (2021: $2.96m).

 

A major contributing factor to these results, as stated in our trading update in February 2023, is the continuation of post-Covid and supply chain issues that have impacted our performance despite several successful trials of our technology by potential customers. We also experienced delays in the anticipated substantial orders from our LATAM distributor caused by local political disturbances but are hopeful that we will begin to see progress in the level of demand in the latter part of this year.

 

Looking forward to the remainder of 2023, we are targeting a significant improvement in revenues and gross margins. This optimism is based on several business vectors and improvements, which we initially highlighted last year. First, we have expanded in the USA with initial orders for Tetis units based on monthly payments for both devices and our software solutions. We see significant business potential in offering this innovative method to our product solutions and, assuming the required funding is available,  we expect to deliver increased revenues by offering this payment solution in the USA and elsewhere.

 

Secondly, we have completed major software and hardware improvements to meet clientsÕ needs and provide more holistic solutions, particularly in times of a global chip shortage. We have been working hard to make our products even better, faster, and more reliable. We are confident these improvements will make a real difference and help us stay ahead of the competition.

 

We have upgraded our entire product range to incorporate support for LTE Cat-1 (which has much better world-wide 4G coverage than previous devices with Cat-M1), as older generations of cellular networks are being phased out worldwide. We have moved our cloud infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS), which will improve the operational capability of our products. Furthermore, we have added new features to our products, for example, new types of reports, dashboards, and improvements to our control center, and enhanced the security feature across our product range. These improvements are expected to reduce manufacturing costs, thus improving our gross margins.

 

Thirdly, in 2022, we introduced four new products to the market: Tetis R Connect (Tetis R with BLE 4.2 support for scanning external standalone sensors for temperature, humidity, etc.), the Lokies 2.0 (featuring a new design, BLE 5.2 support, a new CPU, and improved energy efficiency), the new iteration of our Helios TT device, and two new versions of Helios M (for 2G and 4G networks).

 

Finally, we have significantly expanded our presence at specialized exhibitions related to our technology while implementing multiple pilot schemes with new and existing customers. This has provided the opportunity to engage in pilot tests for our latest Lokies and Tetis products and receive valuable customer feedback.

 

We are already beginning to see the positive result of these improvements in the pipeline of potential business for the remainder of 2023, which gives us confidence in a considerable improvement in revenues and gross margin this year, with a second half weighting. We continue to benefit from the recurring income from software-as-a-service (SaaS) and expect this to increase further this year. As recently announced, we have secured an initial order of 1,000 units for our Lokies solution, with further orders anticipated. In addition, we are expectant that orders from Latin America (LATAM) will begin to materialize during 2023.

 

Although heavily focused on developing our presence in the container protection sector, we continue to progress in our traditional activity areas. Thus, during the year, we obtained additional orders for Helios Hybrid, one of t42Õs superior technology hardware products, combining GSM cellular and satellite communication. Our target market for this product is homeland security customers. We have secured additional orders within Africa with other superior Helios units.

 

We are now in the final stages of formalizing additional funding through a new $1.3m convertible loan stock with a third party. These funds, if secured, would meet our cash requirements in the medium term and enable the Company to fulfil existing orders in hand. The agreement has been approved by all parties and formal documents are in the process of being signed and the lender has committed to provide the funds, subject to completion. The Company expects significant further growth in orders over the next 12 months and should these be achieved, it may be necessary to review cash requirements to enable them to be fulfilled and to ensure the new leasing structure can be applied for future sales now being adopted for some clients.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

Group revenues for the year were $4.04m, compared with $4.21m for the year ended 31 December 2021, a decrease of 4%.

 

The gross margin for the year was approximately 42% compared with 40% for 2021.

 

Total operating expenditure for the year was $3.01m (2021: $3.98m),

 

Net loss after taxation for the year decreased to $1.01m compared with the 2021 net loss of $2.96m. The operating loss in the period was $1.37m, compared to an operating loss of $2.69m in 2021.

 

The Group recorded an exchange rate gain of $0.45m resulting from the weakness of the Israeli Shekel compared with the US dollar (2021: exchange rate loss of $0.1m).

 

The Group balance sheet showed a decrease in trade receivables to $0.49m, compared with $0.68m as at 31 December 2021.

 

Group inventories at the period end were $1.58m, compared to $1.79m as of the end of 2021.

 

Trade payables at the year-end were stable at $1.14m, compared with $1.55m as of 31 December 2021.

 

Net cash used in operating activities in the period was approximately $0.95m, compared with $0.38m for the year ended 31 December 2021.

As detailed in notes 10, 12, and 13 of this financial report, the Company has loans with a leading Israeli Bank. The financial covenants, as detailed in note 12, were breached at the quarter ending 31 December 2021. The Company and the bank monitor the position carefully, remain in close correspondence and work toward a solution. 

OUTLOOK

 

We  commenced the first quarter of 2023 with some new orders for our Tetis products using the new leasing structure and anticipate further take-up of this new financing methodology over the rest of 2023. Meanwhile, we expect that several of the pilot projects undertaken during 2022 will lead to orders being received during the remainder of year. Despite the slow progress of orders from LATAM, as set out above, we are expecting increased business in this area during the second half of 2023.

 

Overall, assuming additional funding is secured on a timely basis, we expect significant revenue and gross margin improvements during 2023. With increased funding available to us we also believe that previous constraints on growth due to supply chain issues will be less of a feature in our future business opportunities.

 

Michael Rosenberg OBE

Non-Executive Chairman



 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

General

The Board has adopted the QCA Corporate Governance Code (Òthe QCA CodeÓ), further detail of which is set out on the CompanyÕs website. The following comments are intended to provide an update on the application of these guidelines where appropriate. The Company seeks to comply with the principles of the QCA Code that the Board considers appropriate, given the size and nature of the business. However, there may be certain cases where non-compliance is appropriate due to the nature of the business and its non-UK status, as explained further below.

Division of responsibilities     

The T42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC Board consists of four directors, two of whom are non-executive, including the Chairman. Although the Company is a relatively small company with a small board, the roles of Chairman and Chief executive are separate, clearly established roles, with a clear division of responsibilities between them.

The Chairman

The Chairman is responsible for the leadership of the Board. The Chairman sets the agenda for Board meetings and encourages an open and constructive debate. Since the Company is based in Tel Aviv, some Board meetings take place by conference call but normally at least two meetings a year take place physically in Israel with all Board members attending. The in-person Board meetings were suspended during the recent pandemic and restrictions on travel but now these have passed at least two physical Board meetings will be held in 2023. During 2022, a total of 9 Board meetings were held and all directors attended all meetings either in person or by conference call. There were 2 audit committee meetings held during the year under review, and all members of the committee attended. There was 1 remuneration committee meeting held during the year under review, which all members attended.

The Non-Executive directors

The Chairman is responsible for the leadership of the Board. The Chairman sets the agenda for Board meetings and encourages an open and constructive debate. Since the Company is based in Tel Aviv, some Board meetings take place by conference call but normally at least two meetings a year take place physically in Tel Aviv with all Board members attending.

Time Commitment

Each non-executive director is required to be able to devote sufficient time to his role as a director in the light of other commitments external to the Board. In practice, despite their limited contractual time obligations to the Board which in general are one or two days a month, the non-executive directors devote considerable time over and above their commitments to the Company in support of the other executive members of the Board. On average, they provide at least one day a week and sometimes more to assist the management.  The executive directors are fully committed to the Company and spend as much time as is needed, both in normal working hours and very often much more.

The business model and strategy

The strategic objectives of the Company are becoming clear in the shipping container market.  The CompanyÕs target is to reach each and every container and convert it into a transmitting data point. The Company is targeting to use the opportunity of the present global environment of supply chain challenges and logistics costs in order to penetrate the mass market. The CompanyÕs legacy products and experience will support the business to challenge this market and provide a comprehensive solution.

To understand and meet shareholder needs and expectations

The Board keeps in regular contact with investors with a view to understanding their needs and expectations. During 2022, with the assistance of the CompanyÕs brokers, presentations were made to a number of investors and further presentations are planned together with the release of these financial statements. In addition, the Board welcomes contact from investors via the CompanyÕs brokers, PR firm and via the website. In normal times shareholders are encouraged to attend the CompanyÕs Annual General Meetings where they can meet and directly communicate with the Board.

Taking into account wider stakeholder and social responsibilities and their implications for long-term success

The CompanyÕs tracking products are sold via distributors; therefore, the Company has little influence over individual product sales. Therefore, although the Company continues to monitor performance of its distribution network, it is not generally in touch with end users and has limited influence over the processes followed by distributors. However, the Board constantly reviews the distribution network by measuring the performance of individual distributors. Where products are manufactured by external firms, the Company regularly inspects the production facilities and processes used.

The Board is committed to reviewing and assessing stakeholder expectations and guides the CompanyÕs senior management to act in accordance with feedback received.

Embed effective risk management

The Board is fully aware of, and monitors closely, the risks that may apply to the business. These include counterparty credit risk, foreign exchange risk and, from time to time, political risks in countries where the Company is actively marketing its products. It is also influenced by the covenants imposed by its bankers on credit risk for certain countries. Operational risks are identified and assessed by management and are reported to the Board when necessary. The Audit Committee also addresses these risks at its regular meetings. During 2022, management has actively been seeking to widen the manufacturing bases for the CompanyÕs products so as to lessen reliance on any single manufacturer, thus minimizing risk to the business. In order to monitor risk, regular visits are made to the manufacturing facility and the Board is informed of any issues that need addressing. The key risks facing the Company together with any mitigation taken are considered further on pages 10-11 of this document.

Ensure that the directors have the necessary up-to-date experience and skills

The Board currently comprises of two executive and two non-executive directors with an appropriate balance of sector, financial and public market skills, and experience. The experience and knowledge of each of the directors gives them the ability to constructively challenge strategy and to scrutinise performance. In addition, the Chairman, Michael Rosenberg, brings further strategic, commercial, transaction and leadership experience which will be invaluable as the Board pursues the CompanyÕs growth strategy and continues to transform the Company.

Ethical matters

As a small company, the directors are constantly in touch with members of the staff. There are 20 members based in the office in Israel and their needs and aspirations are regularly reviewed.

Main governance structures and processes

The Chairman, Michael Rosenberg, has responsibility for ensuring proper corporate governance and can also rely on the support of the CFO, Mr Vatenmacher, who is also very familiar with corporate governance requirements.

Further information on the Board and its Committees:

Michael Rosenberg OBE (Non-Executive Chairman)

Michael has many years of experience both as a corporate financier and as an entrepreneur, involved in a number of new businesses in the healthcare, media and financial sectors. He has considerable global experience, having been chairman of the UK DTI committee on trade with Hong Kong and as member of the China Britain Business Council. He was, for many years, also chairman of the British Export Healthcare Association, now known as ABHI, and led a number of UK trade missions overseas. He was a founder of the investment bank now known as Numis Securities where he served as chairman for a number of years until his retirement in 1999.

Over many years he has also served on the boards of other Israeli companies listed on AIM, including Pilat Media Global PLC, as well as several other non-listed companies.  

Avi Hartmann (Chief Executive Officer)

Avi has spent his life as an entrepreneur focused on the technology of tracking systems. He was a founder of Mobiltel Communications Services, which was purchased by Pelephone in Israel in 1999. Together with his son, Uri Hartmann, and his then partner, Doron Kedem, he founded t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC in 2004.

Martin Blair (Non-Executive Director)

Martin qualified as a chartered accountant with Ernst & Young in 1982 and between 1983 and 1986 also worked for PwC.  He then spent 15 years in a variety of senior financial roles, primarily for media and technology companies, both in UK and the US.  Martin became the CFO for Pilat Media Global PLC, a company which previously traded on both AIM and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.  Pilat Media Global developed, marketed and supported new generation business management software solutions for content and service providers in the media industry.  Martin is also currently a non-executive director and Chairman of the audit committees at Kape Technologies PLC (AIM: KAPE) and Cake Box Holdings PLC (AIM: CAKE).

Igor Vatenmacher (Chief Financial Officer)

Igor is a certified public accountant in Israel and has a BachelorÕs degree in Economics from Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and an executive MBA degree with honours, specializing in financing, banking, capital markets and financial engineering, from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He began his career with Ernst and Young. Igor joined t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC in December 2017 and brings highly qualified accounting experience to the Company, and, since his appointment, has assisted with the development of more sophisticated internal systems and controls essential to the growth of the business. He joined the Board of the Company in January 2019.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of the non-executive directors, Martin Blair and Michael Rosenberg, and is chaired by Martin Blair. The Audit Committee, inter alia, determines and examines matters relating to the financial affairs of the Company including the terms of engagement of the CompanyÕs auditors and, in consultation with the auditors, the scope of the annual audit. The Audit Committee met twice during 2022. In March 2022 the Audit Committee reviewed the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, paying particular attention to the valuation of stock and the level of debtors with a view to making provisions where necessary. The Audit Committee met in September 2022 to consider the interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022. Again, the Committee focused on stock valuation and debtor levels, as well as the reported gross margin.  The Board considers that, given the size and nature of the business, it is not beneficial to include a full audit committee report in the annual report and accounts for 2022. This will be kept under annual review by the Board.

The Remuneration Committee reviews the performance of the directors and makes recommendations to the Board on matters relating to their remuneration and terms of employment. The committee also makes recommendations to the Board on proposals for the granting of share options and other equity incentives pursuant to any share option scheme or equity incentive scheme in operation from time to time. The committee meets as and when necessary to assess the suitability of candidates proposed for appointment by the Board, but not less than once per annum. Members of the remuneration committee comprise Michael Rosenberg, who acts as chairman of the committee, with Martin Blair as a member.

 

The Board considers that, given the size and nature of the business, it is not beneficial to include a remuneration committee report in the annual report and accounts for 2022. This will be kept under annual review by the Board.

On behalf of the board,

M. Rosenberg, Chairman

Further details regarding the grants are detailed in note 14 within the financial reports. Some of the directors were also issued warrants as a part of the loan they provided to the Company, as detailed in notes 11 and 14 within the financial report.

Charitable and Political Donations

The Group did not make any charitable or political contributions during the year.

Corporate governance

The Company adopts the Quoted Company AllianceÕs (QCA) Corporate Governance Code (ÒQCA CodeÓ) and the Board believes this is the appropriate code for the Company to adhere to.  The Board assesses its compliance with the QCA Code on an annual basis.

In common with other organizations of a similar size, the executive directors are heavily involved in the day to day running of the business and meet regularly on an informal basis as well as at Board Meetings.

The Board of directors meets regularly and is responsible for formulating strategy, monitoring financial performance and approving major items of capital expenditure.

 

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare Group and parent Company financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors are required to prepare the Group and parent Company financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU.

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and parent Company and of the profit and loss of the Group for that period.

In preparing each of the Group and parent Company financial statements, the directors are required to:

i)          Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

ii)         Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

iii)        State whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the parent Company financial statements; and prepare the financial statements on the "going concern" basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the parent Company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the Group and parent Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulations. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to safeguard the assets of the Group and parent Company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also responsible for preparing a Directors' Report to comply with that law and those regulations.

In determining how amounts are presented within terms in the income statement and balance sheet, the directors have regarded the substance of the reported transaction or arrangement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or practice.

So far as each of the directors is aware at the time the report is approved:

There is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware; and

The directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Going concern

The directors have prepared and reviewed sales forecasts and budgets for the next twelve months and, having considered these cash flows and the availability of other financing sources if required, have concluded that the Group will remain a "going concern."  After this process and having made further relevant enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the "going concern" basis in preparing the accounts.

 

Risks

Foreign exchange risks

Most of the GroupÕs sales and income are in US Dollars and the US Dollar is the currency in which the Company reports. The expenses, however, are divided between the US Dollar and the Israeli Shekel. The cost of goods (components) are paid in US Dollars and part of the operational costs, such as rent and other service providers, quote their fees in Israeli Shekel. Labor costs are paid in Israeli Shekels. The Company has, therefore, a partial currency risk in the event that the Israeli Shekel strengthens against the US Dollar, which could have an effect on the bottom line of the Group's financial results.

The Group consults with foreign currency experts from main Israeli banks regarding the main financial institutions' expectations for foreign currency changes. Management reviews them carefully and will consider with the board whether it should purchase financial instruments sold by local banks to protect itself from this foreign exchange risk. There are no financial instruments in use at the date of this report.

Interest Rate Risks

The Company is exposed to interest risks as it uses credit lines and loans from its banks. Changes in the effective Prime interest rate published monthly by the Bank of Israel can influence the Company's financing costs.

Credit Risk

The Group is exposed to credit risks if its customers fail to pay for goods supplied by the Group. In order to minimize this risk, the Group has a policy of:

(a) Selling only to respectable integrators and distributors and not to the end customer.

(b) Orders from customers in certain regions are shipped only after an approved letter of credit is received by the Group's bank.

(c) New customers in common pays at least 30% before initial shipping.

Capital Risk management

The Group manages its cash carefully. In order to reduce its risk, the Group may take measures to reduce its fixed costs (labor) if performance is below the directorsÕ expectations. The Group may conduct a placing for new shares of the Company in order to raise additional capital as required when monitoring its performance, and to continue its operations.

Supplier payment policy

It is the Group's policy to settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing to the terms of the transaction, to ensure that suppliers are aware of these terms and to abide by them.

CREST

The Company's ordinary shares are eligible for settlement through CREST, the system for securities to be held and transferred in electronic form rather than on paper. Shareholders are not obliged to use CREST and can continue to hold and transfer shares on paper without loss of rights.

Auditors

A resolution reappointing Barzily as the GroupÕs auditors will be proposed at the AGM in accordance with S485 of the Companies Act 2006.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Electronic Communications

The Company may deliver shareholder information, including Annual and Interim Reports, Forms of Proxy and Notices of General Meetings, in an electronic format to shareholders.

If you would like to receive shareholder information in electronic format, please register your request on the Company's Registrar's electronic database at www.linkassetservices.com. You will initially need your unique investor code which you will find at the top of your share certificate. There is no charge for this service. If you wish to subsequently change your mind, you may do so by contacting the Company's Registrars by post or through their website.

If you elect to receive shareholder information electronically, please note that it is the shareholder's responsibility to notify the Company of any change in his name, address, email address or other contact details. Shareholders should also note that, with electronic communication, the Company's obligations will be satisfied when it transmits the notification of availability of information, or such other document as may be involved, to the electronic address it has on file. The Company cannot be held responsible for any failure in transmission beyond its control any more than it can be held responsible for postal failure.

 In the event of the Company becoming aware that an electronic notification is not successfully transmitted, a further two attempts will be made. In the event that the transmission is still unsuccessful, a hard copy of the notification will be mailed to the shareholder. In the event that specific software is required to access information placed on the Company's website, it will be available via the website without charge.

Before electing for electronic communications, shareholders should ensure that they have the appropriate equipment and computer capabilities sufficient for this purpose. The Company takes all reasonable precautions to ensure no viruses are present in any communication it sends out but cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage arising from the opening or use of any email or attachments from the Company and recommends that shareholders subject all messages to virus checking procedures prior to use. Any electronic communication received by the Company that is found to contain any virus will not be accepted.

Shareholders wishing to receive shareholder information in the conventional printed form will continue to do so and need take no further action.

Should you have any further questions in this regard, please contact the Company's Registrars, Share Registrars Limited.

On behalf of the board,

M. Rosenberg, Chairman

Jerusalem 27 June 2023

 

Report of Independent Auditors

              

                    to the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

 

 t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of t42 IoT Tracking Solutions PLC and its subsidiaries (hereinafter - Òthe GroupÓ) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group board of directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel, including those prescribed by the Israeli AuditorsÕ Regulations (AuditorÕs Mode of Performance - 1973). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the board of directors and management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with international financial reporting standards (IFRS).

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 25 in the financial statements regarding the Company's efforts to raise additional funds.

Financial instruments

 

 


(i) Financial assets

 


The Group initially recognizes loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 



 


The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

 



 


Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 



 


The Group classified financial assets at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) and fair value through profit or loss.

 



 


Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

 


A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition, as well this category includes derivative instruments and listed equity investments which the Group had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI.

(Financial assets are designated as at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy.)

Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, which take into account any dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

 



 



 



 


Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments):

 


Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

 


Loans and receivables are comprised of trade and other receivables, excluding short -term trade and other receivables where the interest amount is immaterial.

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

 

 


The Group initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they originated. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

 



 

 


The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

 

 



 

 


The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

 



 

 


Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables.

 

 



 

 


(iii) Compound financial instruments and warrants at fair value

 

 


Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise with an interest-bearing loan and conversion options issued to lenders

 

 



 

 


The option component of liabilities that are not denominated in foreign currency or are linked to the CPI or to foreign currency is recognized initially as an equity component at its fair value using a binomial calculation

 

 



 

 


The liability components are recognized initially as the difference between the loan amount and the option component.

 

 



 

 


Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liabilities and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

 

 



 

 


Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.

 

 


 

Liabilities that are convertible into shares denominated in foreign currency or are linked to the CPI or to foreign currency are presented fully as a financial liability.

 

 



 

 


The instrument is split into two components for measurement purposes: A liability component without a conversion future that is measured at amortized cost according to the effective interest method, and a conversion option that is an embedded derivative and is measured at fair value at each reporting date.

 

 



 

 


As well, warrants issued by the Company that are convertible into shares denominated in foreign currency or that are linked to the CPI or to foreign currency are also presented as a financial liability which is measured at fair value at each reporting date.

 

 



 

 


Interest related to the financial liabilities is recognized in profit or loss.

d.

Cash and cash equivalents

 


 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments.

 


 


 


e.

Share capital

 



Ordinary shares:

 



Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

 




 


f.

Property, plant and equipment

 

 



Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.

 



Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:

 

 

 

 

%

 

 

 

Computers and software

33

 

 

 

Office furniture and equipment

7 Ð 15

 

 

 

Vehicles

15

 

 

 

Laboratory equipment

Rights-of-use assets

10

 

 

 



 

 

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the term of the lease, ten-year period, (including option terms) or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

 

 

 



 

                       

 

At each balance sheet date, the Group examines the residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method it uses. If the Group identifies material changes in the expected residual value, the useful life or the future pattern of consumption of future economic benefits in the asset that may indicate that a change in the depreciation is required, such changes are treated as changes in accounting estimates.   In the reported periods, no material changes have taken place with any material effect on the financial statements of the Group.

 

 

 



 

 

g.

Intangible assets: Research and development

 


 

 

 

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

 

 



 

 

 

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.

 

 

 



 

 

 

The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

g.

Intangible assets: Research and development (cont.)

 

 


Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

 


Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: ten years.

 



 


At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews whether any events have occurred or changes in circumstances have taken place, which might indicate that there has been an impairment of the intangible assets. When such indicators of impairment are present, the Group evaluates whether the carrying value of the intangible asset in the GroupÕs accounts can be recovered from the cash flows anticipated from that asset, and, if necessary, records an impairment provision up to the amount needed to adjust the carrying amount to the recoverable amount.

 



 

h.

Short-term deposit

 

 


Deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year are included in short-term deposits.

 



 

i.

Leases

 

 


The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

 



 


Group as a lessee

 


The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

 


1.   Right-of-use assets

 


The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 


Property Ð               10 years (5 years prior year)

 


Vehicles -                3 years

 


If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

 


The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in Note 2C(k).

NOTE 2C -

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)




 

 

i.

Leases (cont.)

 

 


2.   Lease liabilities

 


At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

 


In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

 


3.   Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

 


The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 


 

 

j.

Inventories

 

 

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net market value.

 

 

Cost is determined using the "first-in, first -out" method.

 

 

Inventory write-downs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, technological obsolescence, excess inventories, and discontinued products and for market prices lower than cost, if any. At the point of loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established.

k.

Impairment in value of assets

 

 

 


During every financial period, the Group examines the book value of its tangible and intangible assets to determine any signs of loss from impairment in value of these assets. In the event that there are signs of impairment, the Group examines the realization value of the designated asset. In the event that the realization cannot be measured for an individual asset, the Group estimates realization value for the unit where the asset belongs. Joint assets are assigned to the units yielding cash on the same basis. Joint assets are designated to the smallest groups of yielding assets for which one can identify a reasonable basis that is consistent with the allocation.

 

 



 

 


The realization value is the higher of net sale price of the asset as compared with its useful life that is determined by the present value of projected cash flows to be realized from this asset and its realization value at the end of its useful life.

In the event that the book value of the asset or cash-yielding unit is greater than its realization value, a devaluation of the asset has occurred in the amount of the difference between its book value and its realization value. This amount is recognized immediately in the statements of comprehensive income.

 

 



 

 


In the event that prior devaluation of an asset is nullified, the book value of the asset or of the cash-yielding unit is increased to the estimated current fair value, but not in excess of the asset or cash-yielding unit book value that would have existed had there not been devaluation. Such nullification is recognized immediately in the statements of comprehensive income.

 

 



 

 

l.

Revenue recognition

 

 

 


The Group generates revenues from sales of products, which include hardware and software, software licensing, professional services and maintenance. Professional services include mainly installation, project management, customization, consulting and training. The Group sells its products indirectly through a global network of distributors, system integrators and strategic partners, all of whom are considered end-users, and through its direct sales force.

 

 



 

 


Revenue from products and software licensing is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable.

 

 


Revenues from maintenance and professional services are recognized ratably over the contractual period or as services are performed, respectively.

m.

Allowance for expected credit losses

 

 

 

The Group evaluates its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect the repayment abilities of its customers, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

 

The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral because (1) management believes it has certain collection measures in-place to limit the potential for significant losses, and (2) because of the nature of its customers that comprise the Group's customer base. Receivables are written off when the Group abandons its collection efforts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided with respect to those amounts that the Group has determined to be doubtful of collection.

 

 


 

n.

Concentrations of credit risk

 

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and trade receivables.

 

 


 

o.

Provisions

 

 


Provisions are recognized when the Group has a current obligation (legal or derived) as a result of a past occurrence that can be reliably measured, that will in all probability result in the Group being required to provide additional benefits in order to settle this obligation. Provisions are determined by capitalization of projected cash flows at a rate prior to taxes that reflects the current market preparation for the money duration and the specific risks for the liability.

 



 

p.

Employee benefits

 

 

 

The Group has several benefit plans for its employees:

 

 


 


1.

Short-term employee benefits -



Short-term employee benefits include salaries, vacation days, recreation and deposits to the National Insurance Institute that are recognized as expenses when rendered.


2.

Benefits upon retirement -



Benefits upon retirement, generally funded by deposits to insurance companies and pension funds, are classified as restricted deposit plans or as restricted benefits.

All Group employees have restricted deposit plans, in accordance with Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law (Israel), whereby the Group pays fixed amounts without bearing any legal responsibility to pay additional amounts thereto even if the fund did not accumulate enough amounts to pay the entire benefit amount to the employee that relates to the services he rendered during the current and prior periods. Deposits to the restricted plan are classified as for benefits or for compensation and are recognized as an expense upon deposit to the plan concurrent with receiving services from the employee and no additional provision is required in the financial statements.

q.

Finance income and expenses

 

 


Finance income includes interest in regard to invested amounts, changes in the fair value of financial assets presented at fair value in the statements of comprehensive income and gains from changes in the exchange rates and interest income that are recognized upon accrual using the effective interest method.

 


Finance expenses include interest on loans received, changes in the time estimate of provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets presented at fair value in the statements of comprehensive loss and losses from changes in value of financial assets.

 


Gains and losses from exchange rate differences are reported net. Exchange rate differences in regard to issuance of shares are charged to equity.

 



 

r.

Taxes

 


Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

 



 


Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

 



 


Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

 



 


Deferred tax is not recognized for:

 


Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

 


Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

 


Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

 




 


Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same Tax Authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

r.

Taxes (cont.)

 


Since there is uncertainty in regard to existence of taxable revenues in the near future, a deferred tax asset was not recognized.

 


A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit (taxes on income) will be realized.

 



 

s.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

 


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

Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential common shares considered outstanding during the year. 

 



 

t.

Statement of cash flows

 


The statement of cash flows from current operations is presented using the indirect method, whereby interest amounts paid and received by the Group are included in the cash flows in current operations.

 



 

u.

Dividend distribution

 


Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Group's shareholders.

 



 

v.

Segment reporting

 


Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses and tax.

 



 

w.

Government grants

 


A government grant is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to it, and that the grant will be received. The Group received government grants, the nature of which is compensation for a decrease in revenues, the Group decided to record the grants received by the Government of Israel as revenues.

NOTE 21 -

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

 

a.

Financial Risk Factors:

 

 

The Group's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks, including: market, currency, credit and liquidity risks. The comprehensive Group plan for risk management focuses on the fact that it is not possible to predict financial market behavior and an effort to minimize possible negative effects on Company financial performance.

 

 

In this Note, information is stated in regard to Group exposure to each of the risks abovementioned and the handling of these risks. Risk management and capital are handled by the Group management that identifies and evaluates financial risks.

 

 

1)

Exchange rate risk

 

 

 

Group operations are exposed to exchange rate risks arising mainly from exposure of loans that are linked to the NIS from banks, suppliers and others.

 

 

2)

Credit risk

 

 

 

Credit risks are handled at the Group level. These risks arise from cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and unpaid receivable balances. The Group settled a credit insurance with one of the biggest credit insurance companies worldwide and manages its credit risk accordingly. Cash and cash equivalent balances of the Group are deposited in an Israeli bank. Group management is of the opinion that there is insignificant credit risk regarding these amounts.

 

 

3)

Liquidity risks

 

 

 

Cautious management of liquidity risks requires that there will be sufficient amounts of cash to finance operations. Group management currently examines projections regarding liquidity surpluses deriving from cash and cash equivalents. This examination is based on projected cash flows, in accordance with procedures and limitations determined by the Group.

Short term loan covenants compliance is closely monitored by the financial department.

 

b.

Linkage terms of financial instruments:

 

 

Group exposure to Index and foreign currency risks, based on par value, except for derivative financial instruments is as follows:

Leases

 

 

 

Group as a lessee

 

The Group has lease contracts for various items of property and vehicles used in its operations. The leases of property have lease terms of 5 years, while motor vehicles have lease terms of 3 years. The GroupÕs obligations under its leases are secured by the lessorÕs title to the leased assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing.

There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options, which are further discussed below.

 

The Group also has certain leases of machinery with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the Ôshort-term leaseÕ and Ôlease of low-value assetsÕ recognition exemptions for these leases.

Leases (cont.)


 

The Group had total cash outflows for leases of $ 175 in 2022 ($137 in 2021). The Group also had non-cash additions to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $457 in 2022 ($629 in 2021)

 

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and to align with the GroupÕs business needs. Management performs significant judgment operations in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

NOTE 25 -

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTED PERIOD

 


During 2023, the Company received an additional significant order of Tetis from a US-based customer and other.

 

The Company has negotiated additional funding by way of a USD 1.3 million interest bearing convertible loan with a third-party which will be repayable 18 months from drawdown if not converted prior to that date. These funds, if secured, will meet the cash requirements in the medium term that will enable the Company to fulfil existing orders in hand.  The agreement has been approved by all parties and formal documents are in the process of being signed and the lender has committed to provide the funds once completed. The Company expects significant further growth in orders over the next 12 months and should these be achieved, it may be necessary to review cash requirements to enable them to be fulfilled and to ensure the new leasing structure can be applied for future sales now being adopted for some clients.
