Overview
MICT, Inc. ("MICT", the "Company", "we", "us", "our") was formed as a Delaware
corporation on January 31, 2002 under the name Lapis Technologies, Inc. On March
14, 2013, we changed our corporate name to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc.
On July 13, 2018, following the sale of our former subsidiary, Enertec Systems
Ltd., we changed our name to MICT, Inc. Our shares have been listed for trading
on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MICT" since April 29, 2013.

MICT is a holding company conducting financial technology business through its
subsidiaries and entities controlled through various VIE arrangements ("VIE
entities"). The company is principally focused on developing insurance broker
business and products across approximately 120 cities in China through its
subsidiaries and VIE entities, with planned expansion into additional markets.
The company has developed highly scalable proprietary platforms for insurance
products (B2B, B2B2C and B2C) and financial services/products (B2C), the
technology for which is highly adaptable for other applications and markets.
MICT through its subsidiaries has also acquired and holds the requisite license
and approvals with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to deal in
securities and provide securities advisory and asset management services. MICT
also has memberships/registrations with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the London
Stock Exchange and the requisite Hong Kong and China Direct clearing companies.
MICT's financial services business and first financial services product, the
Magpie Invest app, is able to trade securities on NASDAQ, NYSE, TMX, HKSE, China
Stock Connect, LSE, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Paris Stock Exchange.
Since July 1, 2020, after MICT completed its acquisition of GFHI (the "GFHI
Acquisition") pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into
on November 7, 2019 by and between MICT, GFHI, Global Fintech Holding Ltd.
("GFH"), a British Virgin Islands company and the sole shareholder of GFH
Intermediate Holdings Ltd. ("GFHI" or "Intermediate"), and MICT Merger
Subsidiary Inc., a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary
of MICT ("Merger Sub"), as amended and restated on April 15, 2020 (the "Restated
Merger Agreement" or "Merger"), we have been operating in the financial
technology sector. GFHI is a financial technology company with a marketplace in
China, as well as other areas of the world and is currently in the process of
building various platforms for business opportunities in different insurance
platform segments (formerly: verticals and technology segments) in order to
capitalize on such technology and business. GFHI plans to increase its
capabilities and its technological platforms through acquisition and licensing
technologies to support its growth efforts in the different market segments.
After the Merger, MICT included the business of Intermediate, MICT's
wholly-owned subsidiary, operating through Intermediate operating subsidiaries.
Following Intermediate's acquisition of Magpie Securities Limited ("Magpie"), a
Hong Kong securities and investment services firm, on February 26, 2021 and the
subsequent receipt of regulatory approval from the Hong Kong Securities and
Futures Commission, Magpie is licensed to deal in securities, futures and
options, and also undertake the business of securities advisory services and
asset management.
Intermediate launched Magpie Invest, a global stock trading app, on September
15, 2021, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Magpie Securities Limited
("Magpie"). It is a proprietary technology investment trading platform that is
currently operational in Hong Kong. Magpie Invest's technology allows the
platform to connect to all major stock exchanges and we planned to expand into
Australia and Switzerland by Q4 2022.
These opportunities will continue to be realized and executed through our
business development efforts, which include the acquisition of potential target
entities, business and assets (such as applicable required licenses) in the
relevant business space and segments in which we plan to operate. We believe
that this will allow the Company to enter into the market quickly and leverage
existing assets in order to promote our growth strategy.
Prior to July 1, 2020, MICT operated primarily through its Israel-based then
majority-owned subsidiary, Micronet. Micronet, through both its Israeli and U.S.
operational offices, designs, develops, manufactures and sells rugged mobile
computing devices that provide fleet operators and field workforces with
computing solutions in challenging work environments. Micronet's vehicle
portable tablets are designed to increase workforce productivity and enhance
corporate efficiency by offering computing power and communication capabilities
that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage,
speed and mileage. Furthermore, users are able to manage the drivers in various
aspects, such as: driver behavior, driver identification, reporting hours
worked, customer/organization working procedures and protocols, route management
and navigation based on tasks and time schedule. End users may also receive real
time messages for various services, such as pickup and delivery, repair and
maintenance, status reports, alerts, notices relating to the start and ending of
work, digital forms, issuing and printing of invoices and payments. Through its
SmartHub product, Micronet provides its consumers with services such as driver
recognition, identifying and preventing driver fatigue, recognizing driver
behavior, preventive maintenance, fuel efficiency and an advanced driver
assistance system. In addition, Micronet provides TSPs a platform to offer
services such as "Hours of Service." Micronet previously commenced and continues
to evaluate integration with other TSPs. On May 9, 2021, following the exercise
of options by certain minority stockholders, the Company's ownership interest of
Micronet was diluted to 49.88% and as a result the Company is no longer required
to consolidate Micronet's financial statements with the Company's and include
Micronet's operating results in its financial statements. the Company owned
31.47% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Micronet and 26.83% on a fully
diluted basis as of June 30, 2022.

Potential Merger with Tingo, Inc.
On May 10, 2022, Tingo, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Tingo" or the "Seller"),
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with MICT
Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MICT
("Merger Sub"), and MICT, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MICT").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement (the "Closing"), Merger Sub will merge with and into Tingo (the
"Merger" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, the "Transactions"), with the Seller continuing as the surviving
corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MICT. It is expected
that current holders of Tingo Shares will own approximately 77% of the total
shares of the post-merger company and the current shareholders of MICT will own
the remaining 23% of the Shares of the post-merger company.
Tingo is the leading Agri fintech company operating in Africa, with a
marketplace platform that empowers social upliftment through mobile, technology
and financial access for rural farming communities. Their 'device as a service'
model allows them to add market leading applications to enable customers to
trade, buy top ups, pay bills, access insurance and lending services. With 9.3
million existing customers, Tingo is seeking to expand its operations across
select markets in Africa. Tingo's strategic plan is to become the eminent Pan
African Agri-Fintech business delivering social upliftment and financial
inclusion to millions of SME farmers and women-led businesses. There can be no
assurances given that the Company will consummate this merger since there are
several conditions before the merger could be consummated including, but not
limited to, the approval by the shareholders of the Company and Tingo,
Regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
As a result of the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the Seller immediately prior to the Closing, shall no longer be outstanding and
shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the
right for each Seller Stockholder to receive its Pro Rata Share of the Merger
Consideration, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement.
As consideration for the Merger, the Seller Security Holders collectively shall
receive from MICT, in the aggregate, a number of shares of MICT Common Stock
equal to (the "Merger Consideration") the product of (a) 3.44444 and (b) the
number of shares of MICT Pre-Closing Common Stock (the total portion of the
Merger Consideration amount payable to all Seller Stockholders in accordance
with the Merger Agreement). This will result in Tingo shareholders receiving new
MICT common shares in an amount equal to approximately 77.5% in the combined
company, and current MICT shareholders owning approximately 22.5% on a fully
diluted basis following the closing, with a combined estimated group value of
$4.09 billion.
On June 15, 2022, Tingo, Merger Sub and MICT entered into an Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, following the completion of extensive due
diligence by MICT and its advisors. including financial due diligence, tax due
diligence and quality of earnings analysis by Ernst & Young, financial analysis
by Houlihan Lokey, legal, operational, corporate and local due diligence by the
Nigerian office of Dentons and corporate due diligence and securities due
diligence by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole.
In accordance with US GAAP, upon Closing, which is subject to Tingo stock holder
approval, MICT stock holder approval, the satisfaction of regulatory
requirements and the Registration Statement having been declared effective by
the SEC, the Merger will be accounted for by MICT in its consolidated financial
statements as a reverse acquisition.

Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Three and Six Months Ended
June 30, 2021.
As of June 23, 2020, we increased our ownership interest in Micronet to over 50%
and started to consolidate Micronet's operations into our financial statements
up until May 9, 2021 when our ownership in Micronet was diluted to less than
50%. In addition, on July 1, 2020, we completed a merger transaction for the
Acquisition of GFHI. We are consolidating the financial results of GFHI as of
the date the Acquisition and for the period thereafter. Beginning December 2020,
we launched our insurance platform operated by GFHI for the Chinese market and
have been generating revenues in GFHI in this segment of our operations. During
the first quarter of 2021, as described above, we entered into a certain
transaction with Guangxi Zhongtong, Beijing Fucheng Lianbao Technology Co.,
Ltd. and completed the acquisition of Magpie, which operates in the field of
securities trading platforms. As a result of these transactions, we have started
to consolidate the financial results of these companies and business lines into
our business. On July 1, 2021, we entered into a VIE transaction with All
Weather and started to consolidate the financial results and business lines of
All Weather into our business once the transaction was consummated. On October
21, 2021 we completed the transaction of Guangxi Zhongtong, we currently holds a
sixty percent (60%) equity interest in Guangxi Zhongtong.

These business activities conducted by MICT in combination with the completion
of the above acquisitions, contributed to the following P&L items:
Revenues
Net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $11,958,000
and $21,521,000, respectively, compared to $12,341,000 and $21,276,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. This represents a
decrease of $383,000 and increase of $245,000 for the three and six months ended

30, 2022 were $0 and $0, respectively, as compared to $0 and $726,000, for the

$726,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. MRM revenues were
solely contributed by Micronet. The change is attributed to the consolidation of
the MRM segment (Micronet) results with the company during the first quarter of
2021 but not the first quarter of 2022 as described above.
Net revenues related to the insurance platform segment for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022 were $11,950,000 and $21,483,000, as compared to

2021, respectively, and reflects a decrease of $391,000 and increase of
$933,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. On the
one hand we have increase from the VIE transaction with All Weather which we
started to consolidate their financial results and business lines of All Weather
into our business once the transaction was consummated on July 1, 2021, on the
other hand we have decrease in revenues from Guangxi Zhongtong as a result of
the lockdown in certain cities and regions due to COVID-19.

respectively and reflects an increase of $8,000 and $38,000, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase is attributed to the
acquisition of Magpie that was finalized on February 26, 2021, (as further
detailed above). As the global stock markets trading keep going downwards, we
stopped market campaign in the beginning of the year.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were
$9,885,000 and $18,183,000, respectively, compared to $11,675,000 and

six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and reflects a decrease of $0 and
$716,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The

$267,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The
increase is attributed to the VIE transaction with All Weather which we started

our business once the transaction was consummated on July 1, 2021.

principal balance of the Loan and any accrued and unpaid interest due under the
Note shall be due and payable on or before the 30th calendar day following such

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted
accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP, we provide additional financial
metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial
measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP
financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across
accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning
and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing
business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of
trends in our business, as they exclude expenses and gains that are not
reflective of our ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in
understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the
same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting
periods and to those of peer companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP
financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a
substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them from non-GAAP
financial measures, are outlined below:
? Amortization of acquired intangible assets - We are required to
amortize the intangible assets, included in our GAAP financial
statements, related to the Transaction and the Acquisition. The amount
of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and
term of its related amortization are unique to these transactions. The
amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash charges. We
believe that such charges do not reflect our operational performance.
Therefore, we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets to
provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and
post-transaction operating results.
? Expenses related to the settlement agreements - These expenses relate
to a settlement agreement as described in part III -Item 1. Legal
Proceedings of this reports. We believe that these expenses do not
reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude them to
provide the investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and
post-transaction operating results.
? Stock-based compensation - is share based awards granted to certain
individuals. They are non-cash and affected by our historical stock
prices which are irrelevant to forward-looking analyses and are not
necessarily linked to our operational performance.
? Options-based compensation - Refers to compensation components which
includes stock options awards granted to certain employees, officers,
directors or consultants of the Company. This is a non cash personal
compensation component for our employees, officers, directors or
consultants and its cost to the Company is calculated based on B&S.
This these costs attributed to the grant of stock options are
irrelevant to the forward-looking analyses and are not necessarily
linked to our operational performance.

Financing Needs
The Company will be required to support its own operational financial needs,
which include, among others, our general and administrative costs (such as for
our various consultants in regulatory, tax, legal, accounting and other areas of
business) and our financing costs related to the loans and funding instruments
assumed by us.
We expect the net proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used to fund
the growth and development of our business, as well as for working capital and
for other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net
proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that are
complementary to our business, but we currently have no commitments or
agreements relating to any of these types of transactions.
Based on our current business plan, and in view of our cash balance following
the transactions described in this Item 2, we anticipate that our cash balances
will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations and carry out our
contemplated business plans for at least the next 12 months from the date of
this Report.
