Liquidity Analysis
|
The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past 3 years. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $87,598 , and net cash used in operating activities of $4,188 , compared to $1,596 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and noted that as of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash of $10,881 and positive working capital of $24,510 . Additionally, the Company secured financing of $20,000 in 2018, of which, $6,000 remains available to the Company to draw during the 12 months following the balance sheet date, under certain conditions. Throughout 2021, the Company also secured through the issuance of multiple subordinates notes, aggregate gross proceeds of $12,000 of subordinated debt. To date, the Company has used the proceeds from the secured financing, subordinated debt and private placement (i) to satisfy certain indebtedness, (ii) for general corporate purposes and (iii) working capital needs for multiple new government customer contracts with significant positive cash flow.
The Company believes that based on the above mentioned available cash, secured financings, management’s plans, and expected cash streams from the Company’s current contracts with customers worldwide, it will be able to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
|
On September 6, 2018 and October 26, 2018, through a two-stage closing process, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility with affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC("Fortress") with an aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000 (the "Credit Facility"). The Initial Term Loan which finalized on October 26, 2018 has an aggregate principal of $10,000 , and the Incremental Term Loan provides for up to an additional $10,000 in principal through Incremental Draws of at least $1,000 each. In 2019, a total of $4,000 gross was drawn on the Incremental Term Loan, and some of the terms of the Credit Facility were amended to support the needs of the company. The Credit Facility bears interest on the borrowed balance at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin (the "Interest Margin") dependent on the EBITDA Leverage Ratio which is calculated and reset on a quarterly basis (8.0 % for an EBITDA Leverage Ratio greater than or equal to 2.50 x; 7.0 % for an EBITDA Leverage Ratio less than 2.50 x). At the Company's election, interest is paid in cash or in-kind in the amount of 4 % per annum of the Interest Margin. The balance of interest is payable in cash monthly in arrears. For amounts which remain un-borrowed, the Company incurs interest at a rate of 0.50 % per annum ("Unused Fee"). From closing and until today, the Company has not any paid monthly amortization payments. The Company expects to start making partial monthly amortization payments towards the principal balance, with the majority of the principal to be paid via a bullet payment at or refinanced before maturity planned at December 2022 unless it is amended to a later date.
The Credit Facility is subject to an original issue discount equal to 2.5 % of any drawn amounts, and amounts repaid cannot be re-borrowed. At maturity, an end-of-term fee of 2.25 % to 4.5 % is owed by the Company for any amounts drawn. In connection with securing the Credit Facility, the Company incurred legal and due diligence fees, which are recorded together with the original issue discount and end-of-term fee, and amortized into interest expense over the life of the Credit Facility.
In connection with the Credit Facility, the Investor received 25,000 warrants initially and an additional 75,000 warrants for amendments (the “Credit Facility Warrants”) and purchased 106,705 unregistered common shares at a share price of $1.87 from Company at a total of $200 . The Credit Facility Warrants mature 7 years from the date of issuance, were set to be issued at a strike price at a premium to the then current market price.
As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding principal, including accrued interest, of the Credit Facility was $15,942 .
In February 2021, the Company secured through the issuance of a subordinated note, additional gross proceeds of $7,000 . For the consideration of $7,000 in gross proceeds, the Company issued a 2 -year unsecured, subordinated promissory note to a certain institutional investor. The note has a 5 % annual coupon and a built-in increase to the balance of the note by 5 % every 6 months, for any portion of the note which has not been paid down prior to maturity. All principal and interest accrued is required to be paid in only one-bullet payment at maturity, and the company has the right to pre-pay any portion of the note at any time without a pre-payment penalty. The Company has an option at its discretion only, at any time after 12 months to pay down all or a portion of the note using its ordinary shares, subject to certain conditions being met.
In June 2021, the Company secured through the issuance of a subordinated note, additional gross proceeds of $

Covid-19 Effect and Risk
|
In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. During February until December of 2020, COVID-19 has spread globally, including in Israel, Asia, Europe, and America. In response to the COVID-19 virus, countries have taken different measures in relation to prevention and containment including lock-down, quarantine and vaccine. The COVID-19 virus continues to impact worldwide economic activity and pose the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented from conducting certain business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to lockdown that had been mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise elected by companies as a preventive measure.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the full year of 2020, the company’s business, trading and operations were impacted materially by the COVID-19 global. COVID-19 related imposed government restrictions in California, USA and other geographies limited our ability to interact with our clients to provide full services as well as adding new clients to our monitoring programs given court systems shutdown. The government imposed lockdowns and travel restrictions also hindered proper project deployment, productions, support, sales and R&D processes: (i) had prevented our sales teams from meeting customers and demonstrate our products, (ii) had prevented our support teams from traveling and visiting customers in order to provide the adequate support and upgrades to our products (iii) had prevented our customers from completing tenders, purchases, (iv) had prevented proper collection of our client debt due to travel limitation or liquidity problems with our customers, (v) had prevented our customers and partners from completing the integrations and deployments of the Company current contacts, and (vi) had impacted the production rate for products shipped to the Company or to its customers, given the Company’s previous dependency on components manufactured in China, Israel, and the USA.
The production and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to large populations during the first 6 month of 2021, have had a positive effect on limiting the spread of the pandemic in Israel and USA, as well as in other countries that were have put an emphasis on the vaccination process. Starting at April 2021 some of the protective or restrictive measures and restrictions taken by the authorities during 2020 in Israel and USA have been lifted partially at times, but remain at a level which may continue to adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in the future.

NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES – LITIGIATION
|

OTI alleged that Merwell breached its commitments under the service agreement and acted in concert with third parties to damage OTI’s business activities. This matter is now subject to an arbitration proceeding. An appropriate provision is included in the financial statements.
Following the date of the financial statements in this report, on August 10th 2021, the Company had signed an agreement with OTI and the abovementioned arbitration is now closed.

Exhibit 2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes as June 30, 2021, which appear elsewhere in this report.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The discussion and analysis in this section contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial results. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,”
“expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. These include statements regarding our earnings, projected growth
and forecasts, and similar matters which are not historical facts. We remind readers that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore are inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual future

General
Our consolidated financial statements appearing in this report are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP.
Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are re-measured into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Financial Accounting
Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Translation.” The majority of our sales are made outside Israel in U.S. dollars. In addition, substantial portions of our costs are incurred in U.S.
dollars. Since the U.S. dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which we and certain of our subsidiaries operate, the U.S. dollar is our functional and reporting currency and, accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar are re-measured using the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Operational accounts and non-monetary balance sheet accounts are measured and recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the
transaction. The financial statements of certain subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated into U.S. dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance
sheet date. Statement of operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss).

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021, decreased by $0.67 million or 9.87%, to $6.1 million compared to $6.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in our revenues in the
first half of 2021 was attributable mainly to a decrease in revenue from our e-Gov segment and from material effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased in the first six months of 2021 to $2.7 million from $2.6 million in the first six months of 2020, a increase of 3.7%. This decrease was primarily from the material effect
of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Company operation
Gross Profit
Our gross profit margin decreased to 56.4% in the first half of 2021 compared to 62.1% in the first half of 2020, attributable mainly to a decrease in our revenue and from the material effect of the Covid-19 pandemic
on the Company’s operations.

Our operating expenses increased in the first six months of 2021 to $3.8 million, or by 9.9%, from $3.5 million in the first six months of 2020. This increase in operating expenses in the first half of 2021 was
primarily due to (i) an increase of $0.3 million in research and development expenses, (ii) a decrease of $0.2 million in sales and marketing expenses and (iii) an increase of $0.4 million in general and administration expenses.
Financial Expenses, net
Our financial expenses increased in the first six months of 2021 to $1.9 million, or by 68.2%, from $1.1 million in the first six months of 2020. The increase in financial expenses was due to (i) changes in the
exchange rate of the NIS against the U.S. dollar in 2021 compared to 2020, (ii) interest and financing fees on notes and a credit facility, and (iii) bank fees related to guarantees issued to our customers.
Income Tax Benefit
We recorded an income tax benefit in the amount of $5 thousand during the first half of year 2021, compared to an income tax benefit in the amount of $0 thousands during the first half of year 2020.
Net Loss
As a result of the changes in our operational expenses, financial income (expenses) and the income tax benefit that we recorded in the first half of 2021, as described above, our net loss in first half of 2021 was $2.3
million compared to a net loss of $376 thousands in the first half of 2020.

Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $10.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our working capital was approximately $24.5 million compared to approximately $3.9 million in cash and
cash equivalents and working capital of $5.3 million as of December 31, 2020.
The increase of $6.9 million in our cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2021, is primarily attributed to an increase of $ 11.9 million net cash provided by financing
activities partially offset by; (i) an increase of $ 0.8 million net cash used in investing activities and (ii) an increase of $ 4.2 million net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2021 was approximately $0.8 million mainly due to $0.4 million used for capitalization of software development costs and an
increase of $0.5 million used for Purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2021 was approximately $12 million mainly due to a net proceed of: (i) $8.3 million through the issuance of multiple
subordinates notes and (ii) $5 million through the exercise of options, warrants and debt conversion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past 3 years. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had
an accumulated deficit of $87,598, and net cash used in operating activities of $4,188, compared to $1,596 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and noted that as of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash,
cash equivalent and restricted cash of $10,881 and positive working capital of $24,510. Additionally, the Company secured financing of $20,000 in 2018, of which, $6,000 remains available to the Company to draw during the 12 months following the
balance sheet date, under certain conditions. Throughout 2021, the Company also secured through the issuance of multiple subordinates notes, aggregate gross proceeds of $12,000. To date, the Company has used the proceeds from the secured financing,
subordinated debt, and private placement (i) to satisfy certain indebtedness, (ii) for general corporate purposes and (iii) working capital needs for multiple new government customer contracts with significant positive cash flow.
The Company believes that based on the above-mentioned available cash, secured financings, management’s plans, and expected cash streams from the Company’s current contracts with customers
worldwide, it will be able to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.
