Overview


We are a leading developer of contactless payment solutions, Near Field Communication (NFC) technology based, for the unattended market. We have been a technology leader since 1990, providing systems, devices and services to operators and integrators with solutions and components that are simple to implement.

To date, we have deployed over one million payment solutions to our focused unattended markets: self-service kiosk, micro-markets and vending machines, entertainment and gaming, automated teller machines, Mass Transit Ticketing Validation and fuel payments.

We operate through regional offices, supporting clients and payment industry partners with its unique contactless payment solutions.

On January 10, 2022, we filed a petition, or the Petition, with the Israeli county court of Nazareth, or the Court, seeking protections from our creditors in accordance with the Israeli Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law-2018, after our board of directors, or the Board, determined that we are insolvent from a cash flow perspective.

On January 19, 2022, we entered into a binding term sheet, or the Term Sheet, with Nayax. The Term Sheet provides that we and Nayax will enter into a two-step transaction relating to (i) Nayax extending to us a senior secured convertible loan, or the Nayax Loan; and (ii) the purchase by Nayax of 100% of our share capital in consideration for $4,500,000. Consequently, to the entry into the Term Sheet, and at our request, the Court dismissed the Petition.

On January 27, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement and debenture relating to the Nayax Loan, or the Nayax Loan. On March 17, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Nayax and OTI Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company, wholly owned by Nayax, or Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into our company, with our company surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Nayax, or the Merger, in exchange for $4,500,000 in cash, or the Merger Consideration. On May 10, 2022, the shareholders approved the Merger. The Company expects that the Merger will be completed after June 10, 2022, following and subject to the passage of the waiting periods prescribed under the Companies Law, 1999, and the fulfillment of certain closing conditions.

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, 2021 filed with the SEC.

Three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021





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. Furthermore, we generate revenues from licensing and transaction fees, and also less significantly, from engineering services, customer services and technical support. In addition, we have derived revenues from Software as a Service, or SaaS. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the revenues that we derived from those sources are presented in two separate line items, as follows (in thousands):





                   Three months ended
                        March 31,
                    2022          2021
Sales            $    2,465      $ 2,387
SaaS             $      428      $   382
Total revenues   $    2,893      $ 2,769

Sales. Sales increased by $78,000, or 3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase of Retail segment sales in the Americas and an increase in sales of Petroleum products in the Americas and Africa, partially offset by a decrease of Retail sales in Europe and APAC.

SaaS. SaaS revenues include monthly payments for a set of different software applications such as Terminal Management Systems, Payment gateway, and other software applications for the Retail segment, and a separate set of applications for fuel management systems supporting the Petroleum segment. Our SaaS revenues increased by $46,000, or 12%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in revenues in our Retail segment.

We have historically derived revenues from different geographical areas. The following table sets forth our revenues, by dollar amount (in thousands) and as a percentage of quarterly revenues in different geographical areas, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021:





Three months ended
March 31,                Americas             Europe             Africa              APAC
2022                 $ 1,940       67 %   $ 338       12 %   $ 429       15 %   $ 186        6 %
2021                 $   873       32 %   $ 914       33 %   $ 368       13 %   $ 614       22 %



Our revenues from sales in Americas increased by $1.1 million, or 122%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to an increase in sales of readers to the U.S. market and sales of Petroleum products.

Our revenues from sales in Europe decreased by $576,000, or 63%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to a decrease in Retail sales in the Russian market.





                                       4




Our revenues from sales in Africa increased by $61,000, or 17%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to an increase in sales of Petroleum products.

Our revenues from sales in the Asia-Pacific region, or APAC, decreased by $428,000, or 70%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to a decrease in Retail sales.

Our revenues derived from outside the United States are primarily transacted 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.

Due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and in light of sanctions imposed by certain countries on Russia, our Board guided our management to halt sales to Russian customers. As a result, our revenues will continue to be adversely impacted.





The following table sets forth our revenues by dollar amount (in thousands) and
as a percentage of revenues by segments, during the three months ended March 31,
2022 and March 31, 2021:



Three months ended March 31,        Retail            Petroleum
2022                           $ 2,121       73 %   $ 772       27 %
2021                           $ 2,282       82 %   $ 487       18 %



Our revenues from Retail in the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $161,000, or 7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly attributed to a decrease of sales in Europe and a decrease of sales in APAC, partially offset by an increase in sales in the Americas.

Our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from Petroleum increased by $285,000, or 59%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to an increase in sales of Petroleum products in the Americas and Africa.

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, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):





                            Three months ended
Cost of revenues                 March 31,
                             2022          2021

Cost of sales             $    1,543      $ 1,366
Gross profit              $    1,350      $ 1,403
Gross margin percentage           47 %         51 %



Cost of sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of materials, as well as salaries, fees to subcontractors and related costs of our technical staff that assemble our products. The increase of $177,000, or 13%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulted primarily from an increase in sales and an increase in the cost of components due to a global components shortage as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross margin. The decrease in gross margin percentage in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, is mainly attributed to an increase of cost of components due to a global shortage of components as part of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.





                                       5





Operating expenses


Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were as follows (in thousands):





                               Three months ended
Operating expenses                  March 31,
                                2022          2021
Research and development     $      731      $   838
Selling and marketing        $      580      $   605
General and administrative   $      853      $   746
Total operating expenses     $    2,164      $ 2,189

Research and development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of the salaries and related expenses of our research and development staff, as well as subcontracting expenses. The decrease of $107,000, or 13%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, is primarily attributed to an increase in expenses relating to employees.

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 and professional expenses. Our selling and marketing, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, remained consistent.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of our executive management and financial and administrative staff. These expenses also include costs of our professional advisors (such as legal and accounting), office expenses and insurance. The increase of $107,000, or 14%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, is primarily attributed to an increase in legal expenses derived mainly from the operation of the Merger with Nayax.

Financing (expenses) income, net

Our financing (expenses) income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were as follows (in thousands):





                                                          Three months ended
                                                               March 31,
                                                          2022           2021

$    (146 )    $      4
Financing expenses, net                                 $    (146 )    $ (1,970 )

Financing expenses, net, consist primarily of financing expense related to interest payable on bank loans, bank commissions and to a change in fair value of embedded derivative in the convertible short-term loan received from shareholders, partially offset by financing income related to interest earned on investments in short-term deposits and foreign exchange differentials. The change in total financing expenses, net, of $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, is mainly due to a loss from change in the fair value of embedded derivative of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by financing expense related to interest payable on the Nayax Loan of $0.1 million.





                                       6





Income tax benefit, net

Income tax benefit, net   $     -         $       13

The decrease in our income tax benefit, net, of $13,000, in 2022 compared to 2021 is mainly attributed to income tax benefit due to previous years as recognized by our South African subsidiary in 2021.

Net loss from continuing operations

Our net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, was as follows (in thousands):





                                        Three months ended

The change in our net loss from continuing operations of $1.8 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, is mainly due to a decrease in our financing expenses, net, due to a loss from change in fair value of embedded derivative of $2.0 million, partially offset by financing expense related to interest payable on the Nayax Loan of $0.1 million , as described above.

Net loss from discontinued operations

Our net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, was as follows (in thousands):





                                          Three months ended

Net loss from discontinued operations $ - $ (418 )

The results from the Mass Transit Ticketing activity and the SmartID activity for the reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The decrease in the net loss from discontinued operations of $418,000, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, is mainly due to a decrease in loss from the Mass Transit Ticketing operation in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the impact of COVID-19. We completed the sale of this operation on April 21, 2021.





Net loss


Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, was as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in net loss of $2.2 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, is primarily due to a decrease in our financing expenses, net, derived from loss from change in fair value of embedded derivative in the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease in net loss from discontinued operations, as described above.





                                       7




Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity since our inception have been revenues, proceeds from sales of equity securities, borrowings from banks, governments and shareholders, including convertible loans, proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants as well as proceeds from the divestiture of parts of our businesses. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments representing bank deposits of approximately $1.75 million. As of March 31, 2022, we also have a payable balance on our short-term bank loan, that is due within the next 12 months of approximately $2.0 million and a convertible short-term loan from Nayax (including accrued interest), of approximately $5.6 million. On January 10, 2022, we filed the Petition with the Court seeking protections from our creditors in accordance with the Israeli Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law-2018, after our Board determined that we are insolvent from a cash flow perspective. However, following the signing of the agreement relating to the Nayax Loan, such Petition was dismissed and all amounts due under the convertible loan from shareholders (including our controlling shareholder) and the Bank Leumi loan, were paid in full. In addition, Nayax has provided us with a full guarantee for a $2.0 million short-term loan provided to us by a bank which bears an annual interest rate of SOFR plus 2.45%, which is being rolled over on a monthly basis (i.e., repaid and re-provided on a monthly basis), and additional guarantees to our suppliers and subcontractors to allow us to maintain our ongoing production and sale of our products. On April 26, 2022, Nayax extended an additional amount of $1.0 million to us, which is added to the previous $5.5 million loan and shall be subject to the provisions of the Nayax Loan.

In the event where the Merger is not completed, under certain circumstances, we will be required to pay Nayax a termination fee of $1.5 million. Furthermore, non-completion of the merger would be considered an "event of default" under the Nayax Loan, which can result in Nayax's requirement for an immediate repayment of the Nayax Loan Amount, or an increase of the annual interest on the Nayax Loan Amount from 10% to 16% interest, at Nayax's sole discretion. We will also be required to repay the bank loan provided with Nayax's guarantee and would be exposed to a risk of not being able to conduct our business due to the loss of the guarantees provided by Nayax to our suppliers and subcontractors. Based on the projected cash flows and our cash balances as of March 31, 2022, we believe that without: (1) the completion of the Merger and increase of our cash by receiving additional loans from Nayax (at Nayax's sole discretion) under the terms set under the Nayax Loan; or (2) other increase in our cash, we will not have sufficient resources to enable us to continue our operations for a period of at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing, and may need to commence insolvency proceedings. As a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken steps to protect our workforce in Israel, the United States, Poland, South Africa and elsewhere. Such steps include working from home where possible, minimizing face-to-face meetings, utilizing video conferencing as much as possible, social distancing at facilities and elimination of most international travel. We continue to comply with all local health directives.

The global shortage in components, which caused an increase in components prices, freight cost and longer lead-time, created a delay in fulfilling customers' orders, which impacted our revenues and product gross margin, mainly in the Retail segment. As a response to this business environment, we encouraged our customers to provide a forecast for their demand. We continue to maintain a comprehensive network of world-wide suppliers in order to optimize our access to critical components. As long as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, and possibly also thereafter, the components' lead-time may be longer than normal and the shortage in components may continue or get worse.

It is difficult to predict with certainty what other impacts the COVID-19 pandemic may have on us.

As of March 31, 2022, our and certain of our subsidiaries' manufacturing facilities and certain equipment have been pledged as security to Nayax in respect of a Nayax Loan.
