CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “estimate”, “target”, “project”, “intend”, “foresee” and similar expressions. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our expected business outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, our business strategy and means to implement the strategy, our objectives, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, the likelihood of our success in expanding our business, financing plans, budgets, working capital needs, and sources of liquidity. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with the other cautionary statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the expansion of product offerings geographically or through new marketing applications, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. In addition, even if our actual results are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, those results may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | Our ability to raise capital when needed and on acceptable terms and conditions; | |
| ● | Our ability to manage credit and debt structures from vendors, debt holders and secured lenders. | |
| ● | Our ability to manage the growth of our business through internal growth and acquisitions; | |
| ● | Competitive pressures; | |
| ● | Our ability to attract and retain management, and to integrate and maintain technical information and management information systems. | |
| ● | Compliance with laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental matters, corporate governance matters and tax matters, as well as any future changes to such laws and regulations; and |
Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are under no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after we file this Annual Report on Form 10-K, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise. Investors, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider the above-mentioned factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results or performance.

Our Company
From 2008 to 2013, we were in the business of developing oil and gas reserves.

Recent Developments
On November 21, 2023, we received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because we failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 32 consecutive business days dated October 6, 2023 to November 20, 2023. The Nasdaq rules provide us with a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of our security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. If we choose to implement a reverse stock split, it must be completed no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of 180 calendar day compliance period, which is May 10, 2024, to regain compliance.
In the event we do not regain compliance, we may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, apart from the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Staff will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.
On January 5, 2024, we received another notice from the Nasdaq Staff notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) because we failed to hold an annual meeting within one year following the last fiscal year. The Nasdaq rules provide us with a compliance period of 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq can grant an extension until June 28, 2024, to regain compliance. We scheduled the annual stockholders’ meeting, to be held on April 8, 2024. The Company intends to submit a plan of compliance with the 45-day period.
On August 9, 2023, we had received a notice from the Nasdaq Staff notifying us that in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), the Company had a market value of listed securities below the minimum $35,000,000 required for continued listing for the previous 30 consecutive trading days. Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we were provided 180 calendar days, or until February 5, 2024 to regain compliance.
On February 8, 2024, we received a new notice from the Nasdaq Staff that we had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), and thus, unless we request an appeal of this determination from the Staff, our common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on February 20, 2024, removing our securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, we could appeal the Staff’s determination to the hearings panel (the “Hearings Panel”), which may stay the suspension of the Company’s securities pending the Hearings Panels decision. We filed an appeal with the Hearings Panel on February 14, 2024, and paid the $20,000 fee for a hearing in accordance with Nasdaq Rules.

The requirements and needs of our customers continue to evolve as they require new mobile and wireless technologies and services to make their business more competitive and profitable. The result is a continuous flow of opportunities for us to assist customers to evaluate, choose, implement, and support the right mobile and data collection solutions. As we focus on what we do best, we believe that there is more than adequate market size, growth, and opportunity available to the Company to succeed.
The Company offers a full suite of configurable packaged software solutions that provide customers with unique solutions with significant business Return on Investment (“ROI”), including:
Order Entry: Increases productivity in the field. Remote workers increasingly demand rapid access to real-time information and up-to-date data to facilitate and streamline their job functions in the field—our Order Entry Software is the answer.
| 6 |

The largest segment of data collection opportunity for us is the barcode label market providing ongoing and repeatable purchasing business. We intend to continue in the label business to drive business growth and increased margins.
Our Target Markets
The two markets we target are Safe City and Supply Chain Management. Within the Safe City market, our groundbreaking AI-based vision solutions are currently in use for sensitive Homeland Security anti-terror projects and discerning customers within the access control, airport, border crossing, municipality safety, and parking industries. We seek to utilize our expertise and software solutions in markets which provide the greatest opportunity to increase margins. Within the Supply Chain Management market, we believe we can further develop our existing customer base who need to replace their legacy systems with a new go-to-market strategy.
We have been successful in integrating mission-critical mobile-computing and data-collection solutions for small businesses up to Fortune 500 companies. The needs of our customers continue to evolve as they require new mobile and wireless technologies and services to make their business more competitive and profitable. The result is a continuous flow of opportunities to assist customers in evaluating, choosing, implementing, and supporting the right mobile and data-collection solutions.
| 7 |
We believe integrating our patented and proprietary AI technology into our existing Supply Chain offerings will allow for automated logistics monitoring and optimization, creating operational efficiencies at higher margins for us and our customers.
Our Sales Strategy
Our direct sales teams are supported by systems engineers with tenured experience in the mobile industry. The sales organization’s growth mirrors the addition of new products and services. Sales team members are organized by industry, areas of opportunity, areas of expertise, and territory. Our sales teams address national accounts offering a broad array of unique solutions for key lines of business applications, which provide opportunities for upselling and cross selling to our customers. For the Israeli market we have direct sales teams that are organized by industry and product line. In Israel we also offer comprehensive technical service and support which increases customer confidence and supports the sales process.
Salespeople are supported internally by support personnel—who coordinate quotes and logistics—and by members of the systems engineering group and software teams—who provide technical expertise.
Competition
The mobile-system-integration market is characterized by a limited number of large competitors and numerous smaller niche players. We typically pursue larger accounts and national customers, competing most often with larger channel partners. For specific solutions, we also compete with niche players who are often focused on a single industry. Hardware sales are competitive because of online retailers. We believe our consultative, integrated-solutions approach is a clear differentiator for most prospective customers.
Human Capital
OMNIQ’s operating philosophy is growth and continued success, which requires management and employees to work together in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork. Our core values emphasize an environment where safety, diversity, inclusion, talent development, training, and retention are top priorities. This has enabled us to meet various challenges over the years. Our progress reflects this strong, mutual commitment between the Company and its employees. We believe our employees are our greatest asset. We remain focused on providing friendly and safe working conditions, providing competitive pay, offering quality benefits, producing revenue for the continued growth of the Company, and supporting the communities in which we operate. We realize our success is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of our employees. Each employee at OMNIQ is a contributing partner in our future growth and we strive to maintain a mutually beneficial culture that also fosters the professional development of each employee.
As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 182 employees. Of these employees, 160 are salaried personnel (including commissioned employees) and 22 are hourly personnel. Our employees perform the following functions: sales, assembly and warehouse, technical services, and office and administrative support. We believe we have good relationship with our employees. Generally, the total number of employees does not significantly fluctuate throughout the year.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
We have established policies and processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risk from cybersecurity threats, and have integrated these processes into our overall risk management systems and processes. We routinely assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, including any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein.
We conduct periodic risk assessments to identify cybersecurity threats, as well as assessments in the event of a material change in our business practices that may affect information systems that are vulnerable to such cybersecurity threats. These risk assessments include identification of reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks, the likelihood and potential damage that could result from such risks, and the sufficiency of existing policies, procedures, systems, and safeguards in place to manage such risks.
Following these risk assessments, we re-design, implement, and maintain reasonable safeguards to minimize identified risks; reasonably address any identified gaps in existing safeguards; and regularly monitor the effectiveness of our safeguards.
We engage consultants or other third parties in connection with our risk assessment processes. These service providers assist us to design and implement our cybersecurity policies and procedures, as well as to monitor and test our safeguards. We require each third-party service provider to certify that it has the ability to implement and maintain appropriate security measures, consistent with all applicable laws, to implement and maintain reasonable security measures in connection with their work with us, and to promptly report any suspected breach of its security measures that may affect our company.
We have not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial standing.
Governance
Our board of directors addresses the Company’s cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The board of directors’ audit committee is responsible for overseeing Company’s cybersecurity risk management processes, including oversight and mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats.
Our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes are implemented and maintained by certain Company management, including the information technology team. Our executive team including our Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for hiring appropriate personnel, helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into the Company’s overall risk management strategy, and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel.
Our cybersecurity incident response and vulnerability management policies are designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of management depending on the circumstances, including our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Company’s incident response and vulnerability management policies include reporting to the audit committee of the board of directors for certain cybersecurity incidents including significant breaches to the Company’s networks or systems. The audit committee receives regular reports from the information technology team concerning the Company’s significant cybersecurity threats and risk and the processes the Company has implemented to address them. The audit committee also has access to various reports, summaries or presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risk and mitigation.

In October 2021, OMNIQ’s Board of Directors adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as an incentive to retain and attract new employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees to the Company. Pursuant to the Plan, 1,118,856 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”), were set aside and reserved for issuance. The Plan was approved by our stockholders at the December 2021, shareholders’ meeting. On February 25, 2022, the Company granted 792,500 stock options. These options were granted to employees as part of the Plan. On October 23, 2022 19,000 stock options were granted to employees as part of the Plan. No shares were issued under the Plan in 2023.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The information required by this item with respect to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is set forth in Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Dividends and other Distributions
OMNIQ has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company currently plans to retain future earnings to finance the growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. OMNIQ may incur indebtedness in the future which may prohibit or effectively restrict the payment of dividends. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of OMNIQ’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock pays a 6% dividend, but the Company has been unable to make such dividend payments, thus those dividends are accrued quarterly. Accrued but unpaid dividends do not bear interest.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In December 2015, our Board of Directors approved the OMNIQ’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). During 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 14,838 shares of common stock to certain individuals as part of the ESPP valued at approximately $31 thousand.

The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Underwritten Shares from the Company at a price of $1.00 per share and the Pre-Funded Warrants at a price of $0.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The Company also granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of common stock solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments (together with the Underwritten Shares, the “Shares”). All of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants in the Offering are being sold by the Company. The Company also issued warrants to the Representative (the “Representative’s Warrants”), exercisable to purchase 140,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.
The gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $3.0 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company and assuming no exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The Offering closed on October 11, 2023.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion summarizes the financial position of OMNIQ, Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023, and its consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties (see discussion of “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.
The Company’s consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $81.2 million, representing a decrease of $19.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2022 of $100.8 million. Revenues in 2023 and 2022 are presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”).
Net loss attributable to common stockholders’ of OMNIQ Corp was $29.5 million in 2023, an increase of $15.7 million from the 2022 loss of $13.8 million. Basic loss per share attributable to common stockholders was $3.50 for the year 2023 compared to $1.82 per share for the year 2022.
On April 1, 2022, the Company closed on its acquisition of Dangot and exercised the remaining portion of its option to purchase 23.0% of the capital stock, thereby making Dangot a fully owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company paid $3,518,000 to purchase the additional shares. The Company utilized its working capital and a combination of short- and long-term loans.
GOING CONCERN
The following are the principal conditions or events which potentially raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern:
| ● | Balancing the need for operational cash with the need to add additional products. |
| ● | Timely and cost-effective development of products |
| ● | Working capital deficit of $45 million as of December 31, 2023 |
| ● | Accumulated deficit of $113.9 million as of December 31, 2023 |
| ● | Multiple years of losses from operations |
| ● | Year over year decrease in sales |
| ● | Noncompliance with certain debt covenants |
Management Evaluation
Management considers the conditions outlined above as the most significant factors in raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
Management’s Plans to Mitigate and Alleviate Conditions or Events
| ● | Management is evaluating operating expenses and is developing a plan to reduce expenditures without negatively impacting current operations. |
| ● | Management has placed a strategic focus on increasing sales with prime customers. |
| ● | Sales efforts are focused on the most profitable product lines. |
| ● | Blue Star - The Company’s total accounts payable due to Blue Star as of December 31, 2023, was approximately $42 million. Blue Star is an unsecured creditor, financing a substantial amount the Company’s supply chain demand. Management believes that Blue Star will continue supplying the Company with preferable credit terms. Blue Star has agreed to the annual interest rate of 5% on invoices that are past due. As an unsecured creditor of the Company, Blue Star has no incentive to force a liquidation. The Company has enjoyed a good mutual relationship for the past five years. |
| ● | Management finalized a new line of credit with an additional financial institution. |
| ● | In October 2023 management finalized an equity raise which resulted in $2.5 million in net cash received from investors. |

Revenues
Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were generated from the sales of hardware, service contracts, software, labels and ribbons, and related services provided by the Company to its customers. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $81.2 million and $100.8 million in net revenues, respectively. This represents a decrease of 19%. The decrease was due to two main factors: (1) The decrease in deliverables due to the war in Israel, and (2) a delay in the timing of a significant software project.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a total of $65 million and $78.7 million, respectively, of cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold was 81% of revenues for 2023 and 78% of revenue for 2022. Our gross margin percentage has remained relatively stable in an industry that is experiencing gross-margin pressure.
Operating Expenses
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, operating expenses were $41.9 million and $31.7 million, respectively. This represents an increase of $10.2 million, or 32%, which is due to impairment expense of $14.7 million. The following explains in detail the change in operating expenses.
Research & Development – Research and development for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. This represents an increase of $328 thousand or 18%, which is due to investment in developing additional software.
Selling, General and Administrative – Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $4.7 million, or 17%. The change was due to a decrease in commissions as a result of lower sales and management’s efforts to cut costs.
Depreciation – Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $464 thousand compared to $324 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. This represents an increase of $140 thousand, or 43%, attributable to growth in fixed assets.
Intangible Amortization – Intangible amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $1.6 million, compared to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Impairment of Goodwill – During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company experienced significant decline in our stock price and sustained losses from operations. Therefore, we completed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2023. The results of the analysis indicated an impairment loss for goodwill related to acquisitions prior to 2021, and we recorded a non-cash impairment of $14.7 million.
| 13 |
Other Income and Expenses
The Company incurred $3.3 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on promissory notes payable, the company’s line of credit, and vendor payables.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company has multiple subsidiaries conducting operations in Israel, therefore there were transactions denominated in currency other than US dollars for both 2023 and 2022. Foreign transaction gains and losses are reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and were included in the amount of loss from comprehensive income.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has $741 thousand of current income tax provision (US State & Local and Foreign) and $221 thousand deferred income tax expense.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has $35 thousand of current income tax provision (US State & Local and Foreign) and $30 thousand deferred income tax expense.
Net loss
The Company realized a net loss of $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increased loss in 2023 is due primarily to impairment of goodwill and the decrease in revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash in the amount of $1.7 million and a working capital deficit of $45 million, compared to cash in the amount of $1.3 million, and a working capital deficit of $38 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company had stockholders’ deficit attributable to OmniQ stockholders of $35 million and $10.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This increase in our stockholders’ deficit was primarily attributable to net losses.
The Company’s accumulated deficit was $113.9 million and $84.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company’s operations provided net cash of $170 thousand and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of cash from operations of $1 million is primarily a result of reduction in sales.
The Company’s cash used in investing activities was $331 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to cash used by investing activities of $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company’s financing activities used $50 thousand of cash during the year ended December 31, 2023, and used $3 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company made payments of $1.4 million on its notes payable, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, when the Company made payments of $2.5 million on its notes payable, including its Supplier Secured Promissory note and related party notes payable. Additionally, the Company paid $1.6 million on the Company’s line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, when the Company paid $4 million on the line of credit. The Company raised net proceeds of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and no funds were raised for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company currently does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of many accounting principles requires us to make assumptions, estimates, and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates, and/or judgments, however, are often subjective and may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts first become known. We believe the following critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying assumptions, estimates, and/or judgments. See also note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
| 14 |
Revenue Recognition.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.
We combine contracts with the same customer into a single contract for accounting purposes when the contracts are entered into at or near the same time and the contracts are negotiated as a single commercial package, consideration in one contract depends on the other contract, or the services are considered a single performance obligation. Our contracts are typically governed by a customer purchase order or work order. The contract generally specifies the delivery of what constitutes a single performance obligation. If an arrangement involves multiple performance obligations, the items are analyzed to determine the separate units of accounting, whether the items have value on a standalone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of their standalone selling price. The total contract transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the performance obligations. The standalone selling price is based on an observable price for services sold to other comparable customers.
As discussed in more detail below, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.
A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue when we invoice customers, or receive customer cash payments, in advance of satisfying the related performance obligation(s) under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when we have satisfied the related performance obligation.
We have four main revenue streams: (1) Hardware sales, (2) Hardware installation/configuration, (3) Hardware service contracts, and (4) Third-party software sales. For all these revenue streams, our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and therefore, revenue is recognized at the point in time when a customer takes control of the good or asset created by the service. Factors that may indicate transfer of control are when we have the right to receive payment for the good or service, when the legal title of the asset has been transferred, physical possession of the asset has been transferred, the customer obtains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and the customer accepts the asset. For some customers, control is transferred when the customer, or the customer’s courier, picks up the hardware from our warehouse. For other customers, control is transferred upon delivery. For hardware sales which also include installation and/or configuration as a single performance obligation, control is transferred only when the hardware is delivered and installed/configured. For hardware service contracts and for third-party software sales, the Company acts as the agent in the transaction, and thus recognizes revenue on a net basis at a point in time when the transaction has been facilitated.
We leverage drop-ship shipments with many of our partners and suppliers to deliver hardware to our customers without having to physically hold the inventory at our warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. We recognize revenue for drop-ship arrangements on a gross basis as the principal in the transaction when the product is received by the customer because we control the product prior to transfer to the customer. We also assume primary responsibility for the fulfillment in the arrangement, we assume inventory risk if something were to happen to the hardware during shipping, we set the price of the product charged to the customer, we assume credit risk for nonpayment by our customer, and we work closely with customers to determine their hardware specifications.
Management reviews historical returns on at least an annual basis to determine the need for an allowance for sales returns. Historically, sales returns have been extremely limited, with the effect on the financial statements immaterial. Sales returns during any particular year are so small and so infrequent that management determined that any material reserve against sales returns would likely not be appropriate.
Definite-lived Intangible Assets Impairment Evaluation
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of definite-lived intangibles when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of its use of acquired assets or its overall business strategy, and significant industry or economic trends. The Company amortizes definite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company recorded no impairment loss for definite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, the Company determines the recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate and recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset.
If the Company’s revenues or other estimated operating results are not achieved at or above our forecasted level, and the Company is unable to recover such costs through price increases, the carrying value of certain of the Company’s intangible assets may prove to be unrecoverable and we may incur impairment charges of definitive-live intangible assets.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized but are required to be reviewed for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances indicate that carrying value may exceed fair value. The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then the Company must calculate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it with its carrying amount, including Indefinite-lived intangible assets and recognize impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, considering the related income tax effect from any tax-deductible goodwill.

Stock Based Compensation
We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.
We record stock-based compensation expense according to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”). Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the provisions of Topic 718, the Company determines the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments and the amortization method for compensation cost.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the expected volatility and expected option life consistent with Topic 718. The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is estimated based on a historic volatility rate and the expected option life is calculated based on historical stock options as the best estimate of future exercise patterns. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed US treasury rates consistent with the expected life of each stock option grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Compensation expense is recorded for all stock options expected to vest based on the amortization of the fair value at the date of grant on a straight-line basis primarily over the vesting period of the options.
Foreign conflicts
We are closely monitoring developments in the war between Israel and Hamas that began on October 7, 2023 including potential impacts to The Companies business, customers, suppliers, employees, and operations in Israel, the Middle East and elsewhere. At this time, impacts to The Company are expected to be minimal but is subject to change given the volatile nature of the situation.
Additional accounting policies can be found in Note 2 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities will measure credit losses for financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new expected credit loss impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur. Additional disclosures are required regarding assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the credit losses. ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, deferred the effective date for non-public companies. The standard is effective for non-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted these requirements as of January 1, 2023 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the Financial Statement Accounting Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06 which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the new guidance eliminates some of the current requirements for equity classification such as the requirement that settlement in unregistered shares is permitted. In addition, the new guidance reduces the number of accounting models that require separating embedded conversion features from convertible instruments, including eliminating the requirement to recognize a beneficial conversion feature if the conversion feature is in the money and does not require bifurcation as a derivative liability. As a result, only conversion features accounted for under the substantial premium model and those that require bifurcation will be accounted for separately. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The Company adopted the new standards January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard may allow the Company, in the future and in certain circumstances, to avoid derivative treatment of warrants and avoid beneficial conversion treatment of certain convertible preferred shares. Adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires retrospective disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal December 31, 2024 year-end and interim periods beginning in fiscal 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures; it will not have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal December 31, 2025 year-end, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures; it will not have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such terms are defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company acknowledges that any controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives.
We have carried out an evaluation as required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Although we have determined that the existing controls and procedures are not effective, the deficiencies identified have not been deemed material to our reporting disclosures.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, and affected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving their objectives. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Due to their inherent limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. It is possible to design safeguards to reduce, but not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on such evaluation, our CEO concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.
As a result of our evaluation, we identified a material weakness in our controls related to segregation of duties and other immaterial weaknesses in several areas of data management and documentation.
| 17 |
Our management is composed of a small number of professionals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. Accordingly, and as a result of the material weakness identified above, we have concluded that the control deficiencies result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls. We continue to employ and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by executives. In addition, we evaluate and assess our internal controls and procedures regarding our financial reporting, utilizing standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2009 Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary on an on-going basis.
While the material weakness set forth above was the result of the scale of the Company’s operations and is intrinsic to its small size, the Company believes the risk of material misstatements relative to financial reporting are minimal.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by its registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our Board does not have a formal policy concerning diversity and inclusion but is in the process of establishing a policy on diversity. Diversity of experience, expertise, and viewpoints is one of many factors the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers when recommending director nominees to our Board. Our Board also seeks members that have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility or are, or have been, leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are, or were, affiliated, but may seek other members with different backgrounds, based upon the contributions they can make to our Company. While the Board has continued its efforts to identify candidates that have such experience, they have currently been unable to identify any such candidates which fulfill the diversity requirement with the requisite professional experience.

Clawback Policy

OMNIQ CORP.
INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| F-1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of OMNIQ Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OMNIQ Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial position of the Company present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We did not audit portions of the December 31, 2023, and 2022, consolidated financial statements for Dangot Computers, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary. The portions not audited by us include assets of $20.2 million and $27.5 million as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and total revenues of $44.8 million and $45.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Those portions of the December 31, 2023, and 2022, consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for Dangot Computers, Ltd. is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has a deficit in stockholders’ equity, and has sustained recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets— Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements
As described in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has $5.7 million of intangible assets and $1.8 million of goodwill after recording an impairment loss of $14.7 million. The Company evaluates its goodwill and intangible assets at least annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In consideration of impairment, the Company employed a third-party specialist to prepare a valuation based on management’s estimates and market information.
We identified potential impairment of these assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate fair value, including the impact of forecasted growth, and the difference between the fair values and the carrying values as of December 31, 2023. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialist, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to certain assumptions within the projected cash flows.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We followed professional standards relating to the use of specialists employed by management. These procedures included, among others, evaluating the expertise and independence of third-party specialists, gaining an understanding of management’s process for developing the fair value estimate, and assessing the inputs and key assumptions used to develop the models. We used professionals inside our firm with specialized skills and knowledge to assess the methodology.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the board of directors and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of OMNIQ Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Quest Marketing, Inc., HTS Image Processing, Inc., OmniQ Vision Inc., HTS Image Ltd., OmniQ Technologies Ltd., and Dangot Computers Ltd.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. Business combinations are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
Use of Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates.
Cash
Cash consists of petty cash, checking, savings, and money market accounts. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers typically generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Credit Losses (Topic 326), the discussions below on credit risk and our allowances for doubtful accounts address our total revenues from Topic 606 and Topic 326.
Pursuant to Topic 326 for our accounts receivables, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of our expected credit losses. Our allowance is estimated using a loss-rate model based on delinquency. The estimated loss rate is based on our historical experience with specific customers, our understanding of our current economic circumstances, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and our own judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment based upon available data. We perform credit evaluations of customers and establish credit limits based on reviews of our customers’ current credit information and payment histories. We believe our credit risk is somewhat mitigated by our geographically diverse customer base and our credit evaluation procedures. The actual rate of future credit losses, however, may not be similar to past experience. Our estimate of doubtful accounts could change based on changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease our allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory
Substantially all inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods and are valued at the lower of historic cost or net realizable value; where net realizable value is considered to be the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. Historic inventory costs are calculated on a first-in, first-out basis or specific cost.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are included in sales, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations in gains from sales of property and equipment, net.
| F-9 |
We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Generally, we assign the following estimated useful lives to these categories:
SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
| Category | Estimated Useful Life | |
Furniture and fixtures |
||
| Computer equipment | ||
| Office equipment | ||
| Software | ||
| Leasehold improvements | ||
| Vehicles |
Definite-lived Intangible Assets
The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of definite-lived intangibles when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include,
but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes
in the manner of its use of acquired assets or its overall business strategy, and significant industry or economic trends. The Company
amortizes definite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company recorded
When the Company determines that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, the Company determines the recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate and recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset.
If the Company’s revenues or other estimated operating results are not achieved at or above our forecasted level, and the Company is unable to recover such costs through price increases, the carrying value of certain of the Company’s intangible assets may prove to be unrecoverable and we may incur impairment charges of definitive-live intangible assets.
Definite-lived
intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over
useful lives ranging from
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized but are required to be reviewed for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances indicate that carrying value may exceed fair value. The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then the Company must calculate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it with its carrying amount, including Indefinite-lived intangible assets and recognize impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, considering the related income tax effect from any tax-deductible goodwill.
Accounts Payable
Accounts
payable are made up of payables due to vendors in the ordinary course of business as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Two vendors made
up
Leases
We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset, and we have the right to control the asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease arrangements can take several forms. Some arrangements are clearly within the scope of lease accounting, such as a real estate contract that provides an explicit contractual right to use a building for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration. However, the right to use an asset can also be conveyed through arrangements that are not leases in form, such as leases embedded within service and supply contracts. We analyze all arrangements with potential embedded leases to determine if an identified asset is present, if substantive substitution rights are present, and if the arrangement provides the customer control of the asset.
| F-10 |
Our lease portfolio is substantially comprised of operating leases related to leases of real estate. From time to time, we may also lease various types of small equipment and vehicles.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an individual asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the lessor’s implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments by utilizing a fully collateralized rate for a fully amortizing loan with the same term as the lease.
Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Our leases can include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when such renewal options and/or termination options are reasonably certain of exercise.
An ROU asset is subject to the same impairment guidance as assets categorized as property and equipment. As such, any impairment loss on ROU assets is presented in the same manner as an impairment loss recognized on other long-lived assets.
A lease modification is a change to the terms and conditions of a contract that change the scope or consideration of a lease. For example, a change to the terms and conditions to the contract that adds or terminates the right to use one or more underlying assets, or extends or shortens the contractual lease term, is a modification. Depending on facts and circumstances, a lease modification may be accounted as either: (1) the original lease plus the lease of a separate asset(s) or (2) a modified lease. A lease will be remeasured if there are changes to the lease contract that do not give rise to a separate lease.
Revenue Recognition
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.
We combine contracts with the same customer into a single contract for accounting purposes when the contracts are entered into at or near the same time and the contracts are negotiated as a single commercial package, consideration in one contract depends on the other contract, or the services are considered a single performance obligation. Our contracts are typically governed by a customer purchase order or work order. The contract generally specifies the delivery of what constitutes a single performance obligation. If an arrangement involves multiple performance obligations, the items are analyzed to determine the separate units of accounting, whether the items have value on a standalone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of their standalone selling price. The total contract transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the performance obligations. The standalone selling price is based on an observable price for services sold to other comparable customers.
As discussed in more detail below, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.
A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue when we invoice customers, or receive customer cash payments, in advance of satisfying the related performance obligation(s) under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when we have satisfied the related performance obligation.
We have four main revenue streams: (1) Hardware sales, (2) Hardware installation/configuration, (3) Hardware service contracts, and (4) Third-party software sales. For all these revenue streams, our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and therefore, revenue is recognized at point in time when a customer takes control of the good or asset created by the service. Factors that may indicate transfer of control are when we have the right to receive payment for the good or service, when the legal title of the asset as been transferred, physical possession of the asset has been transferred, the customer obtains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and the customer accepts the asset. For some customers, control is transferred when the customer, or the customer’s courier, picks up the hardware from our warehouse. For other customers, control is transferred upon delivery. For hardware sales which also include installation and/or configuration as a single performance obligation, control is transferred only when the hardware is delivered and installed/configured. For hardware service contracts and for third-party software sales, the Company acts as the agent in the transaction, and thus recognizes revenue on a net basis at a point in time when the transaction has been facilitated.
We leverage drop-ship shipments with many of our partners and suppliers to deliver hardware to our customers without having to physically hold the inventory at our warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. We recognize revenue for drop-ship arrangements on a gross basis as the principal in the transaction when the product is received by the customer because we control the product prior to transfer to the customer. We also assume primary responsibility for the fulfillment in the arrangement, we assume inventory risk if something were to happen to the hardware during shipping, we set the price of the product charged to the customer, we assume credit risk for nonpayment by our customer, and we work closely with customers to determine their hardware specifications.
Management reviews historical returns on at least an annual basis to determine the need for an allowance for sales returns. Historically, sales returns have been extremely limited, with the effect on the financial statements immaterial. Sales returns during any particular year are so small and so infrequent that management determined that any material reserve against sales returns would likely not be appropriate.
We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.
We record stock-based compensation expense according to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”). Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the provisions of Topic 718, the Company determines the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments and the amortization method for compensation cost.
The fair value of each stock option grant and warrant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the expected volatility and expected option life consistent with Topic 718. The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is estimated based on a historic volatility rate and the expected option life is calculated based on historical stock options as the best estimate of future exercise patterns. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed US treasury rates consistent with the expected life of each stock option grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Compensation expense is recorded for all stock options expected to vest based on the amortization of the fair value at the date of grant on a straight-line basis primarily over the vesting period of the options.

Foreign Currency Translation
Our
consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency for the Company is U.S. dollars. Transactions
in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded using the appropriate exchange rate at the time of the transaction. All
our continuing operations are conducted in U.S. dollars except for subsidiaries located in Israel. The records of the Israeli operations
were maintained in the local currency and translated to the reporting currency as follows: assets and liabilities are translated using
the balance sheet period-end date exchange rate. Expenses and income are translated using the weighted average exchange rates for the
reporting period. Foreign translation gains and losses are reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss
and were included in the amount of loss from comprehensive income. The aggregate foreign currency transaction loss included in net income
for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $
Income Taxes
We account for our income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets, liabilities, and income taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes.
Our income is subject to taxation in both the U.S. and a foreign jurisdiction, Israel. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company establishes reserves for income-tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves for tax contingencies are established when we believe positions do not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. We adjust uncertain tax liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit or lapse of a statute of limitations. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of uncertain tax liabilities and changes in liabilities that are considered appropriate.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as a change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Our other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were and , respectively. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

Reclassifications and Comparability
Certain revenue and cost of goods sold amounts in the financial statements of the prior year have been reclassified to be presented on a net basis rather than a gross to conform to the current year’s presentation for comparative purposes. The total amount reclassified from cost of goods sold to revenue, as a reduction, was $1.8 million. This had no effect on total assets or net income.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities will measure credit losses for financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new expected credit loss impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur. Additional disclosures are required regarding assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the credit losses. ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, deferred the effective date for non-public companies. The standard is effective for non-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted these requirements as of January 1, 2023 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the Financial Statement Accounting Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06 which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the new guidance eliminates some of the current requirements for equity classification such as the requirement that settlement in unregistered shares is permitted. In addition, the new guidance reduces the number of accounting models that require separating embedded conversion features from convertible instruments, including eliminating the requirement to recognize a beneficial conversion feature if the conversion feature is in the money and does not require bifurcation as a derivative liability. As a result, only conversion features accounted for under the substantial premium model and those that require bifurcation will be accounted for separately. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The Company adopted the new standards January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard may allow the Company, in the future and in certain circumstances, to avoid derivative treatment of warrants and avoid beneficial conversion treatment of certain convertible preferred shares. Adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires retrospective disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal December 31, 2024 year-end and interim periods beginning in fiscal 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures; it will not have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal December 31, 2025 year-end, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures; it will not have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.
Purchased
intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives (using an accelerated method for
customer relationships and trade names) to their estimated residual values, if any. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets
consist of customer relationships, contractor and resume databases, trade names, and internal use software and are being amortized over
