AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2023 In thousands (except per share data) NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the Company PowerFleet, Inc. (the “Company” or “Powerfleet”) 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. (“I.D. Systems”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1993. Powerfleet was incorporated in the State of Delaware in February 2019 for the purpose of effectuating the transactions (the “Transactions”) pursuant to which the Company acquired Pointer Telocation Ltd. (“Pointer”) and commenced operations on October 3, 2019. Upon the closing of the Transactions, Powerfleet became the parent entity of I.D. Systems and Pointer. Basis of presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023, the consolidated results of its operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the consolidated change in stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. 8 Liquidity As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash (including restricted cash) and cash equivalents of $ 25,089 and working capital approximately $ 41,800 . 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” and, together with Powerfleet Israel, the “Borrowers”) 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 denominated in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) in an initial 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 initial 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 borrowed net NIS 20,637 , or $ 5,709 , under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2023. See Note 13 for additional information. On October 31, 2022, the Borrowers entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Hapoalim. The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, a new revolving credit facility to Pointer denominated in NIS in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 10 million (the “New Revolver”). The New Revolver is available for a period of one month that commenced on October 31, 2022, and will continue to be available for successive one-month periods until and including October 30, 2023, unless the Borrowers deliver a notice to Hapoalim of their request not to renew the New Revolver. The New Revolver initially bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.59%. Such interest is subject to monthly changes by Hapoalim, provided that Hapoalim gives Pointer advance notice regarding such change prior to the end of the applicable calendar month . The New Revolver is secured by a first ranking fixed pledge and assignment by Pointer over its new bank account, which was opened in connection with the New Revolver, and all of the rights relating thereunder as well as a cross guarantee by Powerfleet Israel. Pointer is required to pay a credit allocation fee equal to 0.5 % per annum on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the New Revolver. Pointer has a one-year $ 1,000 revolving credit facility available for use with Discount Bank, which renews annually, subject to the bank’s approval. Pointer did not have any borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility with Discount Bank as of March 31, 2023. 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 May 10, 2024. 9 NOTE 2 – 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, capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation costs, warrant assumptions, and standalone selling price related to multiple element revenue arrangements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION On March 6, 2023, the Company entered into a share purchase and transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) with Swiss Re Reinsurance Holding Company Ltd (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Movingdots GmbH (“Movingdots”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller, for consideration consisting of € 1 the issuance by the Company of a ten-year warrant to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 7.00 per share (the “Common Stock Warrants”) with fair value of approximately $ 1.3 million at March 31, 2023 (the “Acquisition”) and noncash consideration with an immaterial fair value in the form of a non-exclusive irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty free license agreement between Movingdots and the Seller for certain of the acquired IP. The Acquisition was consummated on March 31, 2023 (the “Movingdots Closing”). As a result of the Acquisition, Movingdots, a German company providing insurance telematics and sustainable mobility solutions, became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet. Movingdots end-to-end telematics app solution will enhance Powerfleet’s SaaS-based fleet intelligence platform, Unity, with additional customization capabilities and insurance risk insights. Movingdots’ expertise in safety and sustainability aligns with Unity’s focus on data-powered applications. The Acquisition also strengthens Powerfleet’s global reach, particularly in Europe. As part of the Agreement the Seller was also obligated to (i) transfer certain intellectual property rights from the Seller to Movingdots, (ii) enter into a distribution agreement pursuant to which the Seller is allowed to promote the Movingdots solutions, and (iii) grant a license agreement between the Seller’s affiliates and Movingdots. The warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes Model using the following assumptions: SCHEDULE OF WARRANTS VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS March 31, 2023 Expected volatility 50.0 % Expected term (in years) 10.0 Risk free interest rate 3.50 % Dividend yield 0 % Fair value per share $ 1.68 Warrants measurement input $ 1.68 Purchase Price Allocation The Acquisition met the criteria for a business combination to be accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with the Company identified as the legal and the accounting acquirer. There is certain information that is not readily available at the time the financial statements of Movingdots were prepared as the Acquisition closed on March 31, 2023. For provisional purchase price allocation purposes, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are stated at their carrying values which management assumed approximates their fair values given their short-term nature. Also, the Company recognized approximately $ 0.3 million of acquisition-related costs which were expensed in the consolidated statement of operations. The following table details the provisional allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Movingdots: SCHEDULE OF PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION IN ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES Consideration : Cash $ — Fair value of Powerfleet warrants on March 31, 2023 1,347 Total consideration $ 1,347 Assets acquired: Cash $ 8,722 Accounts receivable 247 Prepaid expenses 103 Other current assets 243 Inventory 96 Fixed assets 372 Total assets acquired 9,783 Liabilities assumed: Trade payable 176 Deferred credits 13 Provisions and other liabilities 1,013 Total liabilities assumed 1,202 Total identifiable net assets acquired 8,581 Gain on bargain purchase ( 7,234 ) Purchase price consideration $ 1,347 The provisional fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangibles and income taxes, and the noncash consideration are subject to subsequent adjustments as additional information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. Determining the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Movingdots required certain assumptions and judgment. Consistent with the requirements of ASC 805, the Company assessed whether all assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been appropriately identified, measured and recognized, and performed re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued. After applying the requirements of ASC 805-30-25-4, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase as the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration transferred by approximately $ 7.2 million. Management believes that the recognized gain on bargain purchase represents the best estimates of the economic effect of the Acquisition based on all information that was available and existed as of the dates the financial statements were issued. The gain on bargain purchase primarily resulted from the Seller’s motivation to divest its investment in Movingdots and its telematic business, which was deemed a non-core business of the Seller on a go-forward basis. The sale of Movingdots was not subject to a competitive bidding process. Under the Agreement, the Seller also agreed to make a cash injection into Movingdots prior to the Movingdots Closing in a form of additional paid in capital to ensure Movingdots had available cash in the amount of € 8 million, to be used to ensure the liquidity of Movingdots and for broader combined business activities. If the Company makes an on-sale transfer of any shares of Movingdots that were acquired in connection with the Acquisition at any time between the signing date of the Agreement and through twelve months after the Movingdots Closing, to any third-party purchaser (an “on-sale transfer”), for an amount that is in excess of the purchase price consideration transferred, then the Company shall pay the Seller an amount in cash (“on sale compensation”) equal to (i) €8 million plus (ii) the difference between such on-sale transfer price less the purchase price net of the net present value of the Common Stock Warrants. The on-sale transfer is wholly within the Company’s control and the Company does not currently have an intention to enter into an on-sale transfer. Management views that the insurance telematics and sustainability are important spaces for the Company to have propositions to enable future strategic value, supporting the more evolved, IOT data-rich mass subscription space. The acquisition of Movingdots and its business will, among other things: ● open strategic relationships with some key customers such as Mercedes, BMW and Vodafone; ● provide greater go-to-market opportunity to the Company with the European beachhead for future regional expansion, customer acquisition tool to upsell the Company’s portfolio into German and European markets, and maintain a distribution channel and partnership with the Seller; and ● provide the Company with access to a team with technical skillsets across application development and management, cloud platform development, user experience/user interface design development and technical product management; The following table represents the combined pro forma revenue and earnings for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022: SCHEDULE OF PRO FORMA REVENUE AND EARNINGS Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Historical Pro forma combined Revenues $ 33,161 $ 35,002 Operating loss $ ( 3,742 ) $ ( 3,417 ) Net loss per share – basic and diluted $ ( 0.12 ) $ ( 0.11 ) The following table represents the combined pro forma revenue and earnings for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Historical Pro forma combined Revenues $ 32,839 $ 35,587 Operating loss $ ( 1,892 ) $ ( 1,417 ) Net income (loss) per share – basic $ 0.11 $ ( 0.09 ) Net income (loss) per share - diluted $ 0.11 $ ( 0.09 ) The combined pro forma revenue and earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 were prepared as though the Acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. This summary is not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations would have been had the Acquisition occurred as of that date, nor does it purport to represent results of operations for any future periods. NOTE 4 – 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, 2022 and March 31, 2023 consists of cash held in escrow for purchases from a vendor. 10 NOTE 5 - 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 14). 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 standalone 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 operating or sales-type leases. Accordingly, for sales-type leases 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. 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. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023: SCHEDULE OF REVENUE DISAGGREGATED BY REVENUE SOURCE Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 Products $ 14,392 $ 12,404 Services 18,769 20,435 $ 33,161 $ 32,839 11 The balances of contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers are as follows as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023: SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED REVENUE December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (unaudited) Assets: Deferred contract costs $ 2,740 $ 2,724 Deferred costs $ 762 $ 523 Liabilities: Deferred revenue- services (1) $ 9,815 $ 10,062 Deferred revenue - products (1) 938 643 10,753 10,705 Less: Deferred revenue and contract liabilities - current portion ( 6,363 ) ( 6,327 ) Deferred revenue and contract liabilities - less current portion $ 4,390 $ 4,378 (1) The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $ 2,515 and $ 2,240 , respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each reporting period. The Company expects to recognize as revenue these deferred revenue balances before the year 2028, when the services are performed and, therefore, satisfies its performance obligation to the customers. NOTE 6 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The Company’s accounts receivable were evaluated to determine an appropriate allowance for credit losses related to trade receivables. The Company’s historical collections were analyzed by the number of days past due to determine the uncollectible rate in each range of days past due. The estimate of the allowance for credit losses is charged to the allowance for credit losses based on the age of receivables multiplied by the historical uncollectible rate for the range of days past due or earlier if the account is deemed uncollectible for other reasons. Recoveries of amounts previously charged as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses. An analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the period ended March 31, 2023 is as follows: SCHEDULE OF ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Allowance for credit losses, December 31, 2022 $ 2,567 Allowance for credit losses, beginning balance $ 2,567 Current period provision for expected credit losses 228 Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 514 ) Foreign currency translation 47 Recoveries - Allowance for credit losses, March 31, 2023 $ 2,328 Allowance for credit losses, ending balance $ 2,328 During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the change in the allowance for credit losses was due to the change in the age of receivables. NOTE 7 – PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (Unaudited) Sales-type lease receivables, current $ 1,161 $ 1,150 Prepaid expenses 4,047 4,108 Contract assets 1,131 1,118 Other current assets 1,370 1,583 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 7,709 $ 7,959 12 NOTE 8 - INVENTORY Inventory, which primarily consists of finished goods and components used in the Company’s products, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the “moving average” cost method or the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory is shown net of a valuation reserve of $453 at December 31, 2022 and $375 at March 31, 2023. Inventories consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF INVENTORIES December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (Unaudited) Components $ 12,443 $ 11,400 Work in process 462 383 Finished goods, net 9,367 10,866 Inventory, Net $ 22,272 $ 22,649 NOTE 9 - FIXED ASSETS Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are summarized as follows: SCHEDULE OF FIXED ASSETS December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (Unaudited) Installed products $ 8,586 $ 9,527 Computer software 7,195 7,701 Computer and electronic equipment 5,658 6,451 Furniture and fixtures 2,041 2,226 Leasehold improvements 1,415 1,442 24,895 27,347 Accumulated depreciation and amortization ( 15,646 ) ( 17,394 ) $ 9,249 $ 9,953 Depreciation and amortization expense of fixed assets for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 was $ 814 and $ 1,026 , respectively. This includes amortization of costs associated with computer software for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 of $ 109 and $ 35 , respectively. 13 NOTE 10 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Costs incurred internally in researching and developing software products are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The amortization of these costs will be included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. The following table summarizes identifiable intangible assets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023: SCHEDULE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS March 31, 2023 Useful Lives (In Years) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Amortized: Customer relationships 9 - 12 $ 19,264 $ ( 6,387 ) $ 12,877 Trademark and tradename 3 - 15 7,553 ( 3,096 ) 4,457 Patents 7 - 11 628 ( 374 ) 254 Technology 7 10,911 ( 8,881 ) 2,030 Favorable contract interest 4 388 ( 388 ) - Covenant not to compete 5 208 ( 208 ) - Software to be sold or leased 3 – 6 2,545 - 2,545 41,497 ( 19,334 ) 22,163 Unamortized: Customer List 104 - 104 Trademark and tradename 61 - 61 165 - 165 Total $ 41,662 $ ( 19,334 ) $ 22,328 December 31, 2022 Useful Lives (In Years) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Amortized: Customer relationships 9 - 12 $ 20,031 $ ( 6,830 ) $ 13,201 Trademark and tradename 3 - 15 7,589 ( 2,990 ) 4,599 Patents 7 - 11 628 ( 351 ) 277 Technology 7 10,667 ( 7,866 ) 2,801 Favorable contract interest 4 388 ( 388 ) - Covenant not to compete 5 208 ( 208 ) - Software to be sold or leased 3 – 6 1,865 - 1,865 41,376 ( 18,633 ) 22,743 Unamortized: Customer List 104 - 104 Trademark and tradename 61 - 61 165 - 165 Total $ 41,541 $ ( 18,633 ) $ 22,908 14 Global uncertainties continue to adversely impact the broader global economy and have 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, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Company determined that no impairment existed to the goodwill, customer list and trademark and trade name of its acquired intangibles. At March 31, 2023, the weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets was 8.7 years. At March 31, 2023, the weighted-average amortization periods for customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, patents, technology, and capitalized software to be sold or leased were 11.9 , 9.6 , 7.0 , 4.3 , and 3.0 years, respectively. Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 was $ 1,274 and $ 1,207 , respectively. Estimated future amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for these intangible assets is as follows: SCHEDULE OF FINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS AMORTIZATION EXPENSE 2023 (remaining) $ 4,464 2024 3,471 2025 3,344 2026 2,625 2027 2,233 Thereafter 6,026 Finite-Lived intangible assets $ 22,163 There have been no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment. 15 NOTE 11 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION During the first fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company granted 75 shares of restricted stock to certain executives, which vests as to 25 % of such shares on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, provided that the executive is employed by the Company on each such date. During the first fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company granted options to purchase 405 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain executives, consisting of options to purchase 130 shares of common stock with time-based vesting conditions and options to purchase 275 shares of common stock with performance-based vesting conditions (which we refer to as “market-based stock options”). The options have an exercise price of $ 3.00 . The market-based stock options will vest and become exercisable if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 60-day trading period (the “60 Day VWAP”) reaches 12.00 . The Company valued the market-based 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 ( 3.7 % ), and expected stock price volatility ( 50 % ) over the expected life of awards ( 5.1 years). The weighted average fair value of market-based stock options granted during the period was $ 1.38 . [A] Stock options: The following table summarizes the activity relating to the Company’s market-based stock options that were granted to certain executives for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023: SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTIONS ACTIVITY Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Terms Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at beginning of year 5,065 $ 14.14 Granted 275 3.00 Exercised - - Forfeited or expired - - Outstanding at end of period 5,340 $ 13.56 8.1 years $ - Exercisable at end of period - $ - - $ - 16 The following table summarizes the activity relating to the Company’s stock options, excluding the market-based stock options that were granted to certain executives, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023: Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Terms Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at beginning of year 2,727 $ 5.29 Granted 130 3.00 Exercised - - Forfeited or expired ( 393 ) 6.05 Outstanding at end of period 2,464 $ 5.04 5.7 years $ 6 Exercisable at end of period 1,482 $ 5.55 4.4 years $ 6 The fair value of each option grant on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model reflecting the following weighted-average assumptions: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTIONS 2022 2023 March 31, 2022 2023 Expected volatility 49.4 % 54.8 % Expected life of options (in years) 7 6.25 Risk free interest rate 1.73 % 3.81 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Weighted-average fair value of options granted during year $ 2.04 $ 1.40 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 recorded stock-based compensation expense of $ 34 and $ 618 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively, in connection with awards made under the stock option plans. The fair value of options vested during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 was $ 235 and $ 540 , respectively. There were no option exercises that occurred during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023. 17 As of March 31, 2023, there was $ 1,657 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans excluding the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.58 years. As of March 31, 2023, there was $ 5,838 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans for the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.20 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 all non-vested restricted stock for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 is as follows: SCHEDULE OF NON-VESTED RESTRICTED STOCK ACTIVITY Number of Non- Vested Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Restricted stock, non-vested, beginning of year 706 $ 4.75 Granted 75 2.62 Vested ( 149 ) 5.11 Forfeited ( 59 ) 7.28 Restricted stock, non-vested, end of period 573 $ 4.12 The Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses of $ 388 and $ 214 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, in connection with restricted stock grants. As of March 31, 2023, there was $ 1,877 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.43 years. 18 NOTE 12 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Net income (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 are as follows: SCHEDULE OF NET LOSS PER SHARE BASIC AND DILUTED 2022 2023 Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 Basic and diluted loss per share Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ ( 4,124 ) $ 3,494 Addback: Preferred stock dividend and accretion - 1,275 Allocation of earning to participating securities - ( 896 ) Numerator for basic EPS – income available to common stockholders ( 4,124 ) 3,873 Weighted-average common share outstanding - basic 35,332 35,548 Effect of dilutive securities - 80 Weighted-average common share outstanding - diluted 35,332 35,628 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders - basic $ ( 0.12 ) $ 0.11 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders - diluted $ ( 0.12 ) $ 0.11 Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (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 earnings per share 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2022, 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 16,882 would have been anti-dilutive due to the loss. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the two-class method of computing earnings per share was anti-dilutive. As a result, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include 9,277 shares from the conversion of preferred stock, warrants, stock options and restricted stock awards because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. NOTE 13 - SHORT-TERM BANK DEBT AND LONG-TERM DEBT SCHEDULE OF LONG TERM DEBT December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (Unaudited) Short-term bank debt $ 5,709 $ 5,709 Current maturities of long-term debt $ 4,603 $ 3,650 Long term debt - less current maturities $ 11,403 $ 10,638 19 Long-term debt In connection with the Transactions, Powerfleet Israel incurred NIS denominated debt in term loan borrowings on the closing date of the Transactions (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 initial 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 denominated in NIS in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 10,000 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). As of March 31, 2023, the Company borrowed NIS 20,637 , or $ 5,709 , under the Revolving Facility. 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% (amended to SOFR + 2.15%). 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, 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.

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 all covenants as of March 31, 2023. In connection with the Credit Facilities, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $ 742 . For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 64 and $ 44 , respectively, of amortization of the debt issuance costs. The Company recorded charges of $ 236 and $ 160 to interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively related to interest expense associated with the Credit Facilities. On October 31, 2022, the Borrowers entered into the Third Amendment with Hapoalim. The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, the New Revolver. The New Revolver will be available for a period of one month, commencing on October 31, 2022, and will continue to be available for successive one-month periods until and including October 30, 2023, unless the Borrowers deliver a notice to Hapoalim of their request not to renew the New Revolver. The New Revolver will initially bear interest at the SOFR + 2.59%. Such interest is subject to monthly changes by Hapoalim, provided that Hapoalim gives Pointer advance notice regarding such change prior to the end of the applicable calendar month . The New Revolver is secured by a first ranking fixed pledge and assignment by Pointer over its new bank account, which was opened in connection with the New Revolver, and all of the rights relating thereunder as well as a cross guarantee by Powerfleet Israel. Pointer is required to pay a credit allocation fee equal to 0.5 % per annum on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the New Revolver. Pointer has a one-year $ 1,000 revolving credit facility available for use with Discount Bank, which renews annually, subject to the bank’s approval. Pointer did not have any borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility with Discount Bank as of March 31, 2023. Scheduled maturities of the long-term debt as of March 31, 2023 are as follows: SCHEDULE OF MATURITIES OF LONG TERM DEBT April – March 2024 $ 3,650 January – December 2024 10,638 Long Term debt 14,288 Less: Current Portion through March 31, 2024 3,650 Total $ 10,638 The Term B Facility is not subject to amortization over the life of the loan and instead the original principal amount is due in one installment on the fifth anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Transactions. 20 NOTE 14 - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (Unaudited) Accounts payable $ 14,751 $ 15,772 Accrued warranty 1,897 2,098 Accrued compensation 7,153 7,074 Government authorities 1,992 2,165 Other current liabilities 805 573 Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 26,598 $ 27,682 The Company’s products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to eight years from the date of acceptance of the product by the customer .

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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Company issued 1 and 1 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively. 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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company paid dividends in shares in amounts equal to $ 1,028 and $ 1,107 , respectively, to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2023, dividends in arrears were $- 0 -. 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 . 22 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. NOTE 16 - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and foreign currency translation gains and losses. The accumulated balances for each classification of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 are as follows: SCHEDULE OF ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Foreign currency translation adjustment Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) Balance at January 1, 2023 $ ( 1,210 ) $ ( 1,210 ) Net current period change 112 112 Balance at March 31, 2023 $ ( 1,098 ) $ ( 1,098 ) The accumulated balances for each classification of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 are as follows: Foreign currency translation adjustment Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) Balance at January 1, 2022 $ 391 $ 391 Net current period change 253 253 Balance at March 31, 2022 $ 644 $ 644 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 financial statements of $( 253 ) and $ 112 at March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, are included in comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. 23 Foreign currency transaction 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 transaction gains (losses) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 of $( 203 ) and $ 176 , respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Foreign currency transaction gains related to long-term debt of $ 544 and $ 403 , for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. NOTE 17 – SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in one reportable segment, wireless IoT asset management. The following table summarizes revenues by geographic region. SCHEDULE OF REVENUES AND LONG LIVED ASSETS BY GEOGRAPHICAL REGION 2022 2023 Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 United States $ 13,058 $ 14,438 Israel 12,180 10,680 Other 7,923 7,721 Total revenues $ 33,161 $ 32,839 December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (Unaudited) Long lived assets by geographic region: United States $ 941 $ 1,139 Israel 3,545 3,649 Other 4,763 5,165 Long lived assets $ 9,249 $ 9,953 NOTE 18 - INCOME TAXES The Company records its interim tax provision based upon a projection of the Company’s annual effective tax rate (“AETR”). This AETR is applied to the year-to-date consolidated pre-tax income to determine the interim provision for income taxes before discrete items. The Company updates the AETR on a quarterly basis as the pre-tax income projections are revised and tax laws are enacted. The effective tax rate (“ETR”) each period is impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and foreign earnings and adjustments to recorded valuation allowances. The currently forecasted ETR may vary from the actual year-end due to the changes in these factors. SCHEDULE OF INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAX DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN 2022 2023 Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 Domestic pre-tax book income (loss) $ ( 2,919 ) $ 3,141 Foreign pre-tax book income (loss) ( 711 ) 2,022 Total income before income (loss) taxes ( 3,630 ) 5,163 Income tax benefit (expense) 703 ( 397 ) Total income (loss) after taxes $ ( 2,927 ) $ 4,766 Effective tax rate 19.4 % ( 7.7 )% For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings amongst taxable jurisdictions, recorded valuation allowances to fully reserve against deferred tax assets in non-Israel jurisdictions and certain discrete items. On August 16, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law H.R. 5376, commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”). The IRA is federal legislation designed to raise revenue from, among other things, the imposition of certain corporate tax measures, while authorizing spending on energy and climate change initiatives and subsidizing the Affordable Care Act. The IRA also introduced a 1 % excise tax on certain corporate stock buybacks, which would impose a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain stock that is “repurchased” during the taxable year by a publicly traded U.S. corporation or acquired by certain of its subsidiaries. The passage of the IRA did not have a material impact to the Company nor its calculated AETR as of March 31, 2023. On August 9, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law H.R. 4346, “The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.” CHIPS is a federal statue providing funding for research and domestic production of semiconductors. Additional funding can be provided through CHIPS to various federal agencies as well as towards climate science research. Tax measures include a 25% advanced investment tax credit for certain investments in semiconductor manufacturing. The passage of the CHIPS and Science Act did not have a material impact to the Company nor its calculated AETR as of March 31, 2023. 24 NOTE 19 - LEASES The Company has operating leases for office space and office equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to three years , some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years . The Company has lease arrangements which are classified as short-term in nature. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease costs associated with the short-term leases are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three-months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023. Components of lease expense are as follows: SCHEDULE OF COMPONENTS OF LEASE EXPENSE Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 Short term lease cost: $ 131 $ 88 Supplemental cash flow information and non-cash activity related to our operating leases are as follows: SCHEDULE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION AND NON CASH ACTIVITY OF OPERATING LEASES Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 Non-cash activity: Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations $ 537 $ 261 Weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases are as follows: SCHEDULE OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE REMAINING LEASE TERM AND DISCOUNT RATE March 31, 2023 Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 2.97 Weighted-average discount rate 6.17 % Scheduled maturities of operating lease liabilities outstanding as of March 31, 2023 are as follows: SCHEDULED MATURITIES OF OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES April - December 2023 $ 2,197 2024 2,096 2025 1,861 2026 779 2027 103 Thereafter 1,242 Total lease payments 8,278 Less: Imputed interest ( 732 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 7,546 25 NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s cash and cash equivalents 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. SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS March 31, 2023 Carrying Amount Fair Value Long term debt $ 19,997 $ 19,581 NOTE 21 - CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, 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. NOTE 22 - COMMITMENTS AND 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 $ 208 plus $ 1,087 of interest and penalty, totaling $ 1,295 as of March 31, 2023. 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 $ 12,283 as of March 31, 2023. 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 $ 211 . 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. On February 24, 2022, Pointer Mexico received a notification for 2016 and 2017 tax assessment in the amounts of $ 268 and $ 476 , respectively, regarding the underpayment of VAT and government fees from the Mexican Tax Service (“MTS”). Under the statute and case law, Pointer Mexico was entitled to appeal before the MTS or file a lawsuit before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice. On April 19, 2022, Pointer Mexico filed an appeal for revocation of the assessment. On May 2, 2022, Pointer Mexico filed additional evidence before the MTS. As of March 31, 2023, the MTS has not resolved the administrative revocation appeal. 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. NOTE 23 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 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. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of the standard did not result in a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 26
