REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of PowerFleet, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of PowerFleet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements
of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion,
the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31,
2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021,
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 16, 2022 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
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
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. 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 matter communicated below is
a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated
to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved
our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any
way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter
below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Income
Taxes – Uncertain Tax Positions
Description of the Matter
As
discussed in Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded a
liability of $0.5 million related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021. The
Company conducts business in the US and various foreign countries and is therefore subject
to US federal and state income taxes, as well as income taxes of multiple foreign jurisdictions.
Due to the multinational operations of the Company and changes in global income tax laws
and regulations, including those in the US, there is complexity in the accounting for and
monitoring of the provision for uncertain tax positions.
Auditing management’s identification and
measurement of uncertain tax positions involved complex analysis and auditor judgment related to the evaluation of the income tax consequences
of changes in income tax laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, which are often subject to interpretation.
How We Addressed the
Matter in Our Audit
Our
audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the Company’s assumptions and the
underlying data used to identify its uncertain tax positions and to estimate the amount of
the related unrecognized income tax benefits by jurisdiction. We obtained an understanding
of the Company’s legal structure by reviewing its organizational charts and related
legal documents. Due to the complexity of the tax law in various jurisdictions, we involved
our income tax professionals to assess the Company’s interpretation of and compliance
with tax laws in these jurisdictions, as well as to identify relevant tax law changes. In
certain circumstances, we involved our income tax professionals to evaluate the technical
merits of the Company’s tax positions and to evaluate income tax opinions or other
third-party advice obtained by the Company. We also evaluated the Company’s income
tax disclosures included in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in relation
to these matters .

We served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of PowerFleet, Inc.
Opinion
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We
have audited PowerFleet, Inc. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework)
(the COSO criteria). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described below on the achievement of the objectives
of the control criteria, PowerFleet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) has not maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or 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. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment. Management
has identified a material weakness in controls related to various processes at the company’s Israel component.
We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss,
cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related
notes. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the
2021 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 16, 2022, which expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.
Basis
for Opinion
The
Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our
audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists,
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition
and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY
The
Company is a global leader of Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) solutions providing valuable business intelligence for managing
high-value enterprise assets that improve operational efficiencies.
I.D.
Systems, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1993. PowerFleet, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in February
2019 for the purpose of effectuating the transactions pursuant to which the Company acquired Pointer Telocation Ltd. (the “Transactions”)
and commenced operations on October 3, 2019, upon the closing of the Transactions.
Impact
of COVID-19 and Supply Chain Disruptions
The
global outbreak of COVID-19, and mitigation efforts by governments to attempt to control its spread, has
resulted in significant economic disruption and continues to adversely impact the broader global economy. The extent of the impact on
the Company’s business and financial results will depend largely on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at
this time, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions and the impact of
these and other factors on capital and financial markets and the related impact on the financial circumstances of our employees, customers
and suppliers.
In addition, the Company has
experienced a significant impact to its supply chain given COVID-19 and the related global semiconductor chip shortage, including delays
in supply chain deliveries, extended lead times and shortages of certain key components, some raw material cost increases and slowdowns
at certain production facilities. As a result of these supply chain issues, the Company has had to increase its volume of inventory to
ensure supply. The Company incurred supply chain constraint expenses which lowered its gross margins and decreased its profitability
primarily during the last six months of 2021. The supply chain disruptions and the related global semiconductor chip shortage
have delayed and may continue to delay the timing of some orders and expected deliveries of the Company’s products. If the impact
of the supply chain disruptions are more severe than the Company expects, it could result in longer lead times, inventory supply challenges
and further increased costs, all of which could result in the deterioration of the Company’s results, potentially for a longer
period than currently anticipated.
As
of the date of these audited consolidated financial statements, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact
the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition is uncertain.
Liquidity
As
of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash (including restricted cash) and cash equivalents of $ 26,760
and working capital of $ 43,622 .
The Company’s primary sources of cash are cash flows from operating activities, its holdings of cash, cash equivalents and investments
from the sale of its capital stock and borrowings under its credit facility. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flows
solely from operating activities to fund its operations.
In
addition, the Company’s subsidiaries, PowerFleet Israel Ltd. (“PowerFleet Israel”) and Pointer Telocation
Ltd. (“Pointer”) are party to a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“Hapoalim”),
pursuant to which Hapoalim provided PowerFleet Israel with two senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of
$ 30,000
(comprised of two facilities in the aggregate
principal amount of $ 20,000
and $ 10,000 )
and a five-year
revolving credit facility to Pointer in an aggregate
principal amount of $ 10,000 .
The proceeds of the term loan facilities were used to finance a portion of the cash consideration payable in the Company’s acquisition
of Pointer. The proceeds of the revolving credit facility may be used by Pointer for general corporate purposes. The Company has not
borrowed under the revolving credit facility since its inception and does not have any borrowings as of December 31, 2021. See
Note 11 for additional information.
12
The
Company has on file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on November 27, 2019. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement, the Company may offer to the public from
time to time, in one or more offerings, up to $60,000 of its common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, and units, or
any combination of the foregoing, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of any such offering. The specific terms of any
future offering will be determined at the time of the offering and described in a prospectus supplement that will be filed with the SEC
in connection with such offering .
On
May 14, 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement for an “at-the-market offering” program (the “ATM Offering”)
with Canaccord Genuity LLC, (“Canaccord”) as sales agent pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 810
shares of common stock for approximately
$ 4,200
in gross proceeds. We terminated
the equity distribution agreement effective as of August 14, 2020. See Note 14 for additional information regarding the ATM Offering.
On
February 1, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the “Underwritten Public Offering”) of 4,428 shares
of common stock (which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) for gross proceeds of approximately
$ 28,800 , before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The offer and sale of common stock
in the ATM Offering and the Underwritten Public Offering were made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement.
Because
of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is significant uncertainty surrounding the potential impact on our results of operations and cash
flows. During 2020 and 2021 we proactively took steps to increase available cash on hand including, but not limited to, targeted
reductions in discretionary operating expenses and capital expenditures.
The
Company believes that its available working capital, anticipated level of future revenues, expected cash flows from operations and available
borrowings under its revolving credit facility with Hapoalim will provide sufficient funds to cover capital requirements through at least
March 16, 2023.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[A]
Principles of consolidation :
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PowerFleet Inc. and its subsidiaries (which, as noted above, are collectively
referred to herein as the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
[B]
Use of estimates :
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements
for reasonableness. The most significant estimates relate to realization of deferred tax assets, accounting for uncertain tax positions,
the impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, and stand-alone selling price related to multiple element revenue
arrangements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As
of December 31, 2021, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions
required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information
becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods.
[C]
Cash and cash equivalents :
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents
unless they are legally or contractually restricted. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances exceed Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) and other local jurisdictional limits. Restricted cash at December 31, 2020 and 2021 consists
of cash held in escrow for purchases from a vendor
13
[D]
Accounts receivable :
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included
in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains reserves against its
accounts receivable for potential losses. Allowances for uncollectible accounts are estimated based on the Company’s periodic review
of accounts receivable balances. In establishing the required allowance, management considers our customers’ financial condition,
the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off
against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Accounts
receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $ 2,364 and $ 3,176 in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Company
does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
[E]
Revenue recognition :
The
Company and its subsidiaries generate revenue from sales of systems and products and from customer SaaS and hosting infrastructure fees.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.
Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental
items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with the Company’s
base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 13).
Revenue
is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Product sales are recognized
at a point in time when title transfers, when the products are shipped, or when control of the system is transferred to the customer,
which usually is upon delivery of the system and when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied. For products which do
not have stand-alone value to the customer separate from the SaaS services provided, the Company considers both hardware and SaaS services
a bundled performance obligation. Under the applicable accounting guidance, all of the Company’s billings for equipment and the
related cost for these systems are deferred, recorded, and classified as a current and long-term liability and a current and long-term
asset, respectively. The deferred revenue and cost are recognized over the service contract life, ranging from one to five years, beginning
at the time that a customer acknowledges acceptance of the equipment and service.
The
Company recognizes revenue for remotely hosted SaaS agreements and post-contract maintenance and support agreements beyond our standard
warranties over the life of the contract. Revenue is recognized ratably over the service periods and the cost of providing these services
is expensed as incurred. Amounts invoiced to customers which are not recognized as revenue are classified as deferred revenue and classified
as short-term or long-term based upon the terms of future services to be delivered. Deferred revenue also includes prepayment of extended
maintenance, hosting and support contracts.
The
Company earns other service revenues from installation services, training and technical support services which are short-term in nature
and revenue for these services are recognized at the time of performance when the service is provided.
The
Company also derives revenue from leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering product or system sale,
maintenance, support and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales-type leases. Accordingly, an asset
is established for the “sales-type lease receivable” at the present value of the expected lease payments and revenue is deferred
and recognized over the service contract, as described above. Maintenance revenues and interest income are recognized monthly over the
lease term.
14
The
Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue
to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices
based on observable prices charged to customers or adjusted market assessment or using expected cost-plus margin when one is available.
Adjusted market assessment price is determined based on overall pricing objectives taking into consideration market conditions and entity
specific factors.
The
Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract arising from the sales commissions to employees because
the Company expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers. The Company amortizes the asset over one to five years
because the asset relates to the services transferred to the customer during the contract term of one to five years.
The
Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one
year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice
for services performed.
[F]
Deferred costs :
Deferred
product costs consist of Powerfleet for Logistics equipment costs deferred in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The Company
evaluates the realizability of the carrying amount of the deferred contract costs. To the extent the carrying value of the deferred contract
costs exceed the contract revenue, an impairment loss will be recognized.
[G]
Inventory :
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the “moving average” cost method or the
first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory consists of components, work in process and finished products
Inventory
valuation reserves are established in order to report inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value in the consolidated balance
sheet. The determination of inventory valuation reserves requires management to make estimates and judgments on the future salability
of inventories. Valuation reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory are estimated based on assumptions of future sales forecasts,
product life cycle expectations, the impact of new product introductions, production requirements, and specific identification of items,
such as product discontinuance or engineering/material changes and by comparing the inventory levels to historical usage rates
[H]
Fixed assets and depreciation :
Fixed
assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are recognized using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The following table provides the range of estimated useful lives used for each asset type:
SCHEDULE
OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF ASSET
Useful Life
(years)
Computer software
3 - 5
Installed products
3 - 5
Computers and electronic equipment
3 - 10
Furniture and fixtures
5 - 7
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of useful life or lease term
15
[I]
Long-lived assets :
Long-lived
assets, which includes definite lived intangible assets and fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison
of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds
the fair value of the assets and would be charged to earnings. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including
discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
[J]
Goodwill and intangibles :
Goodwill
represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and intangible assets
deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized and are tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets other than goodwill are
amortized over their useful lives unless the lives are determined to be indefinite. Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated
amortization. Intangible assets consist of trademarks and trade name, patents, customer relationships and other intangible assets. Goodwill
is tested at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. The Company
operates in one operating segment which is its only reporting unit. The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually which is
the first day of the Company’s fourth quarter or when an indicator of impairment exists, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value
In the evaluation of goodwill for impairment,
the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary or to perform
a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Under the qualitative
assessment, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely
than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. By eliminating “Step 2” from the goodwill impairment test,
the quantitative analysis of goodwill will result in an impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit
exceeds its fair value which is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company performed a market-based
quantitative assessment utilizing the guideline public company and guideline transaction approaches by comparing revenue and adjusted
EBITDA multiples of similar sized companies and similar sized transactions. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, the
Company did not incur an impairment charge.
[K]
Product warranties :
The
Company typically provides a 1 – 3-year warranty on its products . Estimated future warranty costs are accrued in the period that
the related revenue is recognized. These estimates are derived from historical data and trends of product reliability and costs of repairing
and replacing defective products.
[L]
Research and development :
Research
and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and consists primarily of salaries and related expenses, supplies and contractor
costs. Research and development costs were $ 8,540 , $ 10,597 , and $ 11,058 in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
[ M]
Patent costs :
Cost
incurred in connection with acquiring patent rights are charged to expense as incurred.
16
[N]
Concentrations of credit risk :
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables
The
Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in deposits with major banks worldwide. Generally, these deposits may
be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear low risk. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s
investments have a high credit rating.
For
the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no customers who generated revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated
total revenues or generated greater than 10 % of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no customers who generated revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated
total revenues or generated greater than 10 % of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable.
For
the year ended December 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 20 % of the Company’s revenue.
[O]
Benefit plan :
The
Company maintains a retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers all eligible employees. All employees
with U.S. source income are eligible to participate in the plan immediately upon employment. The Company did not make any contributions
to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
[P]
Severance pay :
The
liability of the Company’s subsidiaries in Israel for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israel’s Severance Pay Law
5273-1963 (the “Severance Law”) based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment
as of balance sheet date and are presented on an undiscounted basis (the “Shut Down Method”). Employees are entitled to one
month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. The liability for the Company and its subsidiaries in Israel
is fully provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in
the Company’s balance sheet.
The
deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to the Severance Law or labor agreements. The value
of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes profits or losses accumulated to balance
sheet date.
Some
of the Company’s employees are subject to Section 14 of the Severance Law and the General Approval of the Labor Minister dated
June 30, 1998, issued in accordance to the said Section 14, mandating that upon termination of such employees’ employment, all
the amounts accrued in their insurance policies shall be released to them. The severance pay liabilities and deposits covered by these
plans are not reflected in the balance sheet as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds.
[Q]
Stock-based compensation :
The
Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation for all share-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted
stock, as an operating expense based on their fair values on grant date. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $ 3,794 ,
$ 4,142 , and $ 4,416 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
The
Company estimates the fair value of share-based option awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The value of the portion
of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated
statement of operations. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards
that will ultimately vest. The estimate is based on the Company’s historical rates of forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are revised,
if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
17
[R]
Income taxes :
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted
statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition
threshold to all tax positions, commencing at the adoption date of the applicable accounting guidance, which resulted in no unrecognized
tax benefits as of such date. Additionally, there have been no unrecognized tax benefits subsequent to adoption. The Company has opted
to classify interest and penalties that would accrue according to the provisions of relevant tax law as selling, general, and administrative
expenses and incomes taxes, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and
2021, interest and penalties were immaterial.
[S]
Fair value of financial instruments :
The
Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad
levels. The following is a brief description of those levels

The
Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments in securities are carried at fair value. The carrying value of financing receivables
approximates fair value due to the interest rate implicit in the instruments approximating current market rates. The carrying value of
accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short term bank debt approximates their fair values due to the short
period to maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt is based on observable relevant market
information and future cash flows discounted at current rates, which are Level 2 measurements.

Advertising and marketing expense :
Advertising
and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021
amounted to $ 1,228 , $ 1,022 , and $ 1,185 , respectively.

Foreign currency translation :
The
Company’s reporting currency is the U.S dollar (“USD”). For businesses where the majority of the revenues are
generated in USD or linked to the USD and a substantial portion of the costs are incurred in USD, the Company’s management believes
that the USD is the primary currency of the economic environment and thus their functional currency. Due to the fact that Argentina has
been determined to be highly inflationary, the financial statements of our subsidiary in Argentina have been remeasured as if its functional
currency was the USD. The Company also has foreign operations where the functional currency is the local currency. For these operations,
assets and liabilities are translated using the end-of-period exchange rates and revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated using
average rates of exchange for the period. Equity is translated at the rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation
adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Net translation
gains (losses) from the translation of foreign currency are $ 653 ,
$ 134
and $ ( 8 )
at December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively,
which are included in comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.
18
Foreign
currency translation gains and losses related to operational expenses denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are
included in determining net income or loss. Foreign currency translation gains (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and
2021 of $ ( 42 ) , $ 148 and $ ( 128 ) , respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations. Foreign currency translation gains (losses) related to long-term debt of $ ( 425 ) , $ ( 2,137 ) and $ 810 , respectively, for
the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
[ V]
Commitments and contingencies :
From
time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters involving claims incidental to its business and acquisitions, including
employment matters, acquisition related claims, patent infringement and contractual matters, among other issues. While the outcome of
any such litigation matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the outcome of these proceedings,
including the matters described below, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its business,
results of operations or financial condition. The Company records reserves related to legal matters when losses related to such litigation
or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements :
In
December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation,
the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences
and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance is generally effective
as of January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments,” which amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. The amendment
is intended to address the issue that the previous “incurred loss” methodology was restrictive for an entity’s ability
to record credit losses based on not yet meeting the “probable” threshold. The new language will require these assets to
be valued at amortized cost presented at the net amount expected to be collected with a valuation provision. This updated standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the consolidated
financial statements.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill
impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill
with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the
amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total
amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The updated guidance requires a prospective adoption. The adoption of this standard
did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Pointer
Transactions
On
October 3, 2019, the Company completed the Transactions, as a result of which I.D. Systems, Inc. (“I.D. Systems”)
and PowerFleet Israel each became direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and Pointer became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. Prior to the Transactions, PowerFleet, Inc. had no material assets, did not operate any business and did not conduct
any activities, other than those incidental to its formation and the Transactions. I.D. Systems was determined to be the accounting acquirer
in the Transactions. As a result, the historical financial statements of I.D. Systems for the periods prior to the Transactions are considered
to be the historical financial statements of the Company and the results of Pointer have been included in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements from the date of the Transactions.
The
purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC805, Business Combinations , was applied for the Transactions. This requires
the total cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition with the excess cost accounted for as goodwill. Goodwill arising from
the acquisition is attributable to expected product and sales synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with those
of the Company. I.D. Systems has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Transactions.

CarrierWeb
Acquisitions
On
January 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of CarrierWeb, L.L.C. and on July 30, 2019,
the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of CarrierWeb Services Ltd. (collectively, the “CarrierWeb
Acquisitions”).
The
purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC805, Business Combinations , was applied for the CarrierWeb Acquisitions. This
requires the total cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition with the excess cost accounted for as goodwill. Goodwill arising
from the acquisition is attributable to expected product and sales synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with
those of the Company.

COVID-19
continues to adversely impact the broader global economy and has caused significant volatility in financial markets. If there is a lack
of recovery or further global softening in certain markets, or a sustained decline in the value of the Company’s common stock,
the Company may conclude that indicators of impairment exist and would then be required to calculate whether or not an impairment exists
for its goodwill, other intangibles, and long-lived assets, the results of which could result in material impairment charges. The Company
tests goodwill and other indefinite lives intangible assets on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and more frequently if the Company
believes indicators of impairment exists. As of December 31, 2020, and 2021, the Company determined that no impairment existed to the
goodwill, customer list and trademark and trade name of its acquired intangibles.
At
December 31, 2021, the weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets was 9.1
years. At December 31, 2021, the weighted-average
amortization periods for customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, patents, technology, favorable contract interests and covenant

Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise
of outstanding options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding common shares. Dilutive potential common shares include
outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock and performance share awards. We include participating securities (unvested
share-based payment awards and equivalents that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents) in the computation
of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Our participating securities consist solely of preferred stock, which have contractual participation
rights equivalent to those of stockholders of unrestricted common stock. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an allocation
method that calculates earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. During periods of net loss, no effect is given
to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and
2021, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are the same, since the effect from the potential exercise of outstanding
stock options, conversion of preferred stock and vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units totaling 12,865 , 11,998 and 11,628 ,
respectively, would have been anti-dilutive due to the loss.

NOTE
10 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s stockholders
have approved the Company’s 2018 Incentive Plan (as amended the “2018 Plan”) pursuant to which the Company
may grant stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based awards with respect to up to an aggregate of 6,500
shares of the Company’s common stock with a vesting period of approximately four
to five
years . There were 2,163
shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan as of December 31, 2021.
The
2018 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which has the authority to determine,
among other things, the term during which an option may be exercised (not more than 10 years), the exercise price of an option and the
vesting provisions.
The
Company recognizes all employee share-based payments in the statement of operations as an operating expense, based on their fair values
on the applicable grant date.
In
connection with the Company’s acquisition of Pointer, the Company previously approved the grants of options to purchase 350,000
shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Wolfe and options to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to
Mr. Mavrommatis on March 13, 2019 (the “Signing Bonus Options”) and the grants of additional options to purchase 350,000
shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Wolfe and additional options to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock to Mr. Mavrommatis on October 3, 2019 (the “Closing Bonus Options” and together with the Signing Bonus Options, the
“Original Bonus Options”). The Original Bonus Options were subject to the terms of the Company’s 2018 Incentive Plan
(the “2018 Plan”), vested upon the attainment of adjusted EBITDA targets for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 and
December 31, 2021 and became exercisable 180 days after vesting, subject to acceleration in the event of certain change of control transactions.
The Signing Bonus Options had an exercise price of $ 6.28 per share and the Closing Bonus Options had an exercise price of $ 6.00 per share.
In
response to the impact of COVID-19, the Board terminated and cancelled the Original Bonus Options and approved the following grants to
replace the Original Bonus Options: (i) options to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Wolfe and options
to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Mavrommatis (the “New Signing Options”), which options
are subject to the terms of the 2018 Plan, have an exercise price of $ 6.28 per share, and will vest and become exercisable in full on
December 31, 2022 if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 30 trading day period
(the “30 Day VWAP”) reaches $12.00 at any point prior to December 31, 2022 , and (ii) options to purchase 350,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock to Mr. Wolfe and options to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Mavrommatis
(the “New Closing Options”), which options are subject to the terms of the 2018 Plan, have an exercise price of $ 6.00 per
share, and will vest and become exercisable immediately upon the Company achieving a 30 Day VWAP of $10.00
In
connection with Mr. David Mahlab’s retirement from his role as the Chief Executive Officer International of the Company, the Company
modified the vesting and exercise period of all unvested restricted stock, stock options and restricted stock units previously granted
to Mr. Mahlab. Due to the modification of the terms of Mr. Mahlab’s stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units,
the Company recognized additional stock-based compensation expense of $ 1,261 ,
$- 0 - and $ 278 for the years ended
December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 respectively.

Expected
volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the expected life of options is based on historical
data with respect to employee exercise periods.
The
Company valued the New Signing Options and the New Closing Options market-based performance stock option awards using a Monte Carlo simulation
model using a daily price forecast over ten years until expiration utilizing Geometric Brownian Motion that considers a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, the Company’s common stock price, risk-free rate ( 0.70 %), and expected stock price volatility ( 47 %)
over the expected life of awards ( 6 years). The weighted average fair value of options granted during the period was $ 1.27 .
For
the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Company recorded $ 1,516 , $ 1,587 , and $ 1,684 , respectively, of stock-based compensation
expense in connection with the stock option grants.
The
fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 was $ 476 ,
$ 1,974 ,
and $ 1,201 ,
respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 was $ 119 ,
$ 313 ,
and $ 483 ,
respectively.
As
of December 31, 2021, there was $ 2,741 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s
stock option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.69 years.
The
Company estimates forfeitures at the time of valuation and reduces expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted
periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.

[B]
Restricted Stock Awards:
The
Company grants restricted stock to employees, whereby the employees are contractually restricted from transferring the shares until they
are vested. The stock is unvested at the time of grant and, upon vesting, there are no legal restrictions on the stock. The fair value
of each share is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant. A summary of the non-vested shares for the
years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 is as follows:

In
connection with the Transactions, PowerFleet Israel incurred $ 30,000
in term loan borrowings on the Closing Date under
the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Hapoalim agreed to provide PowerFleet Israel with two senior secured term loan facilities in
an aggregate principal amount of $ 30,000
(comprised of two facilities in the aggregate
principal amount of $ 20,000
and $ 10,000 ,
respectively (the “Term A Facility” and “Term B Facility”, respectively, and collectively, the “Term Facilities”))
and a five-year
revolving credit facility (the “Revolving
Facility”) to Pointer in an aggregate principal amount of $ 10,000
(collectively, the “Credit Facilities”).
The
Credit Facilities will mature on the date that is five years from the Closing Date. The indicative interest rate provided for the Term
Facilities in the original Credit Agreement was approximately 4.73 %
for the Term A Facility and 5.89 %
for the Term B Facility. The
interest rate for the Revolving Facility is, with respect to NIS-denominated loans, Hapoalim’s prime rate + 2.5%, and with respect
to US dollar-denominated loans, LIBOR + 4.6%. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a 1% commitment fee on the unutilized and uncancelled
availability under the Revolving Facility . The
Credit Facilities are secured by the shares held by PowerFleet Israel in Pointer and by Pointer over all of its assets. The original
Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants (including the following
financial covenants, tested quarterly: Pointer’s net debt to EBITDA; Pointer’s net debt to working capital; minimum equity
of PowerFleet Israel; PowerFleet Israel equity to total assets; PowerFleet Israel net debt to EBITDA; and Pointer EBITDA to current payments
and events of default.
On
August 23, 2021, PowerFleet Israel and Pointer (the “Borrowers”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”),
effective as of August 1, 2021, to the Credit Agreement with Hapoalim. The Amendment memorializes the agreements between the Borrowers
and Hapoalim regarding a reduction in the interest rates of the two Term Facilities. Pursuant to the Amendment, commencing as of November
12, 2020, the interest rate with respect to the Term A Facility was reduced to a fixed rate of 3.65 %
per annum and the interest rate with respect to the Term B Facility was reduced to a fixed rate of 4.5 %
per annum. The Amendment also provides, among other things, for (i) a reduction in the credit allocation fee on undrawn and uncancelled
amounts of the Revolving Facility from 1 %
to 0.5 %
per annum, (ii) removal of the requirement that PowerFleet Israel maintain $ 3,000
on deposit in a separate reserve fund, and (iii)
modifications to certain of the affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant regarding the ratio of the Borrowers’
debt levels to Pointer’s EBITDA. The Company is in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2021.
In
connection with the Credit Facilities, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $ 742 . For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020,
and 2021 the Company recorded $ 18 , $ 31 , and $ 290 respectively, of amortization of the debt issuance costs. The Company recorded charges
of $ 379 , $ 1,451 , and $ 1,078 to interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020
and 2021, related to interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facilities.

shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 25,000 . The Sales Agreement provided for the Company to pay
Canaccord a commission of 3.0 % of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of common stock occurring pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
The offer and sale of common stock in the ATM Offering were made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC on November 27, 2019, the base prospectus contained therein dated November 27, 2019,

[C] Redeemable Preferred stock:
The
Company is authorized to issue 150 shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.01 per share of which 100 shares are designated Series
A Preferred Stock and 50 shares are undesignated.
Series
A Preferred Stock
In
connection with the completion of the Transactions, on October 3, 2019, the Company issued 50 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
to ABRY Senior Equity V, L.P., ABRY Senior Equity Co-Investment Fund V, L.P and ABRY Investment Partnership, L.P. (the “Investors”).
For the year ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2021, the Company issued 1 and - 0 - additional shares of Series A Preferred
Stock.
Liquidation
The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the original issuance price of $ 1,000 .00 per share, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series A Issue Price”), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon
(except in the case of a deemed liquidation event, then 150% of such amount) and (ii) the amount such holder would have received if the Series A Preferred Stock had converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation .
Dividends
Holders
of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a minimum rate of 7.5 % per annum (calculated on the basis
of the Series A Issue Price), quarterly in arrears. The dividends are payable at the Company’s election, in kind, through the
issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or in cash, provided no dividend payment failure has occurred and is continuing
and that there has not previously occurred two or more dividend payment failures. Commencing on the 66-month anniversary of the date
on which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are first issued (the “Original Issuance Date”), and on each monthly
anniversary thereafter, the dividend rate will increase by 100 basis points, until the dividend rate reaches 17.5 % per annum, subject
to the Company’s right to defer the increase for up to three consecutive months on terms set forth in the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”). During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31,
2021, the Company paid dividends in the amounts of $- 0 - and $ 4,112 shares respectively, to the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2021, dividends in arrears were $- 0 - and $- 0 - respectively.
35
Voting;
Consent Rights
The
holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be given notice by the Company of any meeting of stockholders or action to be taken by written
consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders as to which the holders of common stock are given notice at the same time as provided
in, and in accordance with, the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. Except as required by applicable law or as otherwise
specifically set forth in the Charter, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matter presented to
the Company’s stockholders unless and until any holder of Series A Preferred Stock provides written notification to the Company
that such holder is electing, on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, to activate their voting rights and in doing
so rendering the Series A Preferred Stock voting capital stock of the Company (such notice, a “Series A Voting Activation Notice”).
From
and after the delivery of a Series A Voting Activation Notice, all holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote
with the holders of common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis (provided, however, that any holder of Series A Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to cast votes for the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series
A Preferred Stock held by such holder that exceeds the quotient of (1) the aggregate Series A Issue Price for such shares of Series
A Preferred Stock divided by (2) $5.57 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications
and similar events, as applicable)). So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding and convertible into shares of
common stock that represent at least 10% of the voting power of the common stock, or the Investors or their affiliates continue to
hold at least 33% of the aggregate amount of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investors on the Original Issuance Date,
the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be necessary for the
Company to, among other things, (i) liquidate the Company or any operating subsidiary or effect any deemed liquidation event (as
such term is defined in the Charter), except for a deemed liquidation event in which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive
an amount in cash not less than the Redemption Price (as defined below), (ii) amend the Company’s organizational documents
in a manner that adversely affects the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) issue any securities that are senior to, or equal in priority
with, the Series A Preferred Stock or issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock to any person other than the Investors
or their affiliates, (iv) incur indebtedness above the agreed-upon threshold, (v) change the size of the Company’s board of
directors to a number other than seven, or (vi) enter into certain affiliated arrangements or transactions .
Redemption
At
any time, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to convert each share of such holder’s then-outstanding Series
A Preferred Stock into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Series A Issue Price,
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by (y) the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The Series
A Conversion Price is initially equal to $ 7.319 , subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Charter.
At any time after the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, subject to certain conditions, the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share, equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) 1.5 multiplied by (y) the sum of the Series A Issue Price, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and (ii) the product of (x) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by (y) the volume weighted average price of the common stock during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading date immediately prior to the date of such redemption notice or, if calculated in connection with a deemed liquidation event, the value ascribed to a share of common stock in such deemed liquidation event (the “Redemption Price”) .
Further,
at any time (i) after the 66-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, (ii) following delivery of a mandatory conversion notice
by us, or (iii) upon a deemed liquidation event, subject to Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders, the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock may elect to require us to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock for an amount per share equal to the Redemption Price.

with the Investors, pursuant to which the Company had the right to redeem 10
shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price

share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, to be paid in cash. The Company did not exercise its redemption right and the Redemption
Right Agreement automatically terminated on October 1, 2021.

The
unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company does not expect any
significant changes to its unrecognized tax positions during the next twelve months.
At
December 31, 2021, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss carryforward of approximately $ 83,085
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. At
December 31, 2021, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss carryforward of approximately $ 35,037
for state income tax purposes and a foreign
net operating loss carryforward of approximately $ 35,902 .
Substantially all of the net operating loss carryforwards expire from 2022 through 2037 for pre-2018 federal net operating loss carryforwards
and from 2022 through 2041 for state purposes. The net operating loss carryforwards may be limited to use in any particular year based
on Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 related to change of ownership restrictions. Section 382 of the IRC imposes
an annual limitation on the utilization of NOL carryforwards based on long-term bond rates and the value of the corporation at the time
of a change in ownership as defined by Section 382 of the IRC. In 2019, the Company incurred a change in ownership under Section 382
of the IRC and this change of ownership is not expected to materially impact the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating
loss carryforward amounts in the future. In addition, future stock issuances may subject the Company to further limitations on the utilization
of its net operating loss carryforwards under the same Internal Revenue Code provision.
39
At
December 31, 2021, the Company has New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards (“NJ NOLs”) included above in the approximate
amount of $ 5,071
expiring through 2041, which are available
to reduce future earnings which would otherwise be subject to state income tax.
The
Company is asserting permanent reinvestment of all accumulated undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as of December 31,
2021 in excess of annual debt service costs requirements.
For
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s valuation allowance decreased to $ 44,228
compared to $ 46,070
as of December 31, 2020 primarily due to expiration of other net operating losses. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the full
amount of its domestic deferred tax assets and the majority of the foreign deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was established
because of the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to lack of sufficient history of generating taxable income.
Realization is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards in
future periods. The valuation allowance increased in 2020 and decreased in 2021 by $ 3,953 ,
and $ 1,842
respectively.
Audits
for federal income tax returns are closed for the years through 2017. However, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) can audit
the NOL’s generated during those years in the years that the NOL’s are utilized. State income tax returns are generally subject
to examination for a period of three to six years after the filing of the respective tax return. The state impact of any federal changes
remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. Foreign income
tax returns are generally subject to examination based on the tax laws of the respective jurisdictions.

NOTE
18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Except
for normal operating leases, the Company is not currently subject to any material commitments.
[A]
Contingencies:
Except
for normal operating leases, the Company is not currently subject to any material commitments.
From
time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters involving claims incidental to its business and acquisitions, including
employment matters, acquisition related claims, patent infringement and contractual matters, among other issues. While the outcome of
any such litigation matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the outcome of these proceedings,
including the matters described below, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its business,
results of operations or financial condition. The Company records reserves related to legal matters when losses related to such litigation
or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.
In
August 2014, Pointer do Brasil Comercial Ltda. (“Pointer Brazil”) received a notification of lack of payment of VAT tax (Brazilian
ICMS tax) in the amount of $ 190 , plus $ 957 of interest and penalty, totaling $ 1,147 as of December 31, 2021. The Company is vigorously
defending this tax assessment before the administrative court in Brazil, but in light of the administrative and judicial processes in
Brazil, it could take up to 14 years before the dispute is finally resolved. In case the administrative court rules against the Company,
the Company could claim before the judicial court, an appellate court in Brazil, a substantial reduction of interest charged, potentially
reducing the Company’s total exposure. The Company’s legal counsel is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable
and for this reason the Company has not made any provision.
In
July 2015, Pointer Brazil received a tax deficiency notice alleging that the services provided by Pointer Brazil should be classified
as “telecommunication services” and therefore Pointer Brazil should be subject to the state value-added tax. The aggregate
amount claimed to be owed under the notice was approximately $ 10,476
as of December 31, 2021. On August 14, 2018,
the lower chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court in São Paulo rendered a decision that was favorable to Pointer Brazil
in relation to the ICMS demands, but adverse in regards to the clerical obligation of keeping in good order a set of ICMS books and related
tax receipts. The remaining claim after this administrative decision is $ 45 .
The state has the opportunity to appeal to the higher chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court. The Company’s legal counsel
is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable and that no material costs will arise in respect to these claims. For
this reason, the Company has not made any provision.
