Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020





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

"Convertible Loan"). The Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.95%
calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Convertible Loan, if
not converted, shall be repaid in four equal installments, the first of such
installment payable following the fifth quarter after the issuance of the
Convertible Loan, with the remaining three installments due on each subsequent
quarter thereafter, such that the Convertible Loan shall be repaid in full upon
the lapse of 24 months from its issuance. In addition, the outstanding principal
balance of the Convertible Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest, is
convertible at the Company's option, at a conversion price equal to 0.38 NIS per
Micronet share. Pursuant to the Convertible Loan agreement, Micronet also agreed
to issue the Company an option to purchase one of Micronet's ordinary shares for
each ordinary share that it issued as a result of a conversion of the
Convertible Loan at an exercise price of 0.60 NIS per share, exercisable for a
period of 15 months. On July 5, 2020, Micronet had a reverse split where the
price of the Convertible Loan changed from 0.08 NIS per Micronet share into 5.7
NIS per Micronet share. The option's exercise price changed from 0.6 NIS per
share to 9 NIS per Micronet share.

On January 1, 2020, the Convertible Loan was approved at a general meeting of the Micronet shareholders and the Convertible Loan and the transactions contemplated thereby became effective. The loan was repaid on January 4, 2022.

the aggregate amount of $175,000 (the "Third Loan") which governed the existing

Debt Repayment



For the year ended December 31, 2021, our total debt was $1,657,000 as compared
to $884,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change in total debt is
primarily due to the dilution in our ownership and voting interests in Micronet,
causing us to cease consolidating Micronet's operations in our financial
statements commencing from May 9, 2021 and a new loan that All weather received
from others.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect that is material to investors on our
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.



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 beneficial conversion feature expense - Those
           expenses are non-cash expenses and are related to the difference
           between the stock price at the closing of the Note Purchase

Agreements


           and the conversion price of $1.10 per share.

? 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.

? Expenses related to the purchase of a business - These expenses relate


           directly to the purchase of the GFH I transaction and consist

mainly of


           legal and accounting fees, insurance fees and other consultants.

We


           believe that these expenses do not reflect our operational

performance.


           Therefore, we exclude them to provide investors with a

consistent basis


           for comparing pre- and post-Vehicle Business purchase operating
           results.

       ?   Expenses related to settlement agreement - These expenses relate
           directly to the settlement agreement with Maxim and Sunrise. More
           information can be found in the legal proceeding part.
