Such forward-looking statements and their implications involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or performance to differ materially from those projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are subject to other risks and uncertainties including those discussed in the risk factor section and elsewhere in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

David Lucatz:

Slide 3.

Thank you, good morning everyone.

The second quarter of 2018 brought significant material events including the sale of our aerospace business, Enertec Systems, and the announcement of a potential strategic transaction for MICT with BNN.

We are pleased to report that we completed the sale of Enertec Systems to Coolisys Technologies for a total effective transaction price of $8.7 million on May 22, 2018. This sale added $4.7 million in cash and removed $4.0 million in Enertec debt from our balance sheet

On July 2, 2018, we announced the execution of a Letter of Intent with respect to a potential strategic transaction with BNN Technology. As set forth in the press release and Current Report on Form 8-K and the letter of intent from July 2, 2018, we contemplate a series of transactions with BNN and an unnamed third party in the transaction technology platform business, including a tender offer, a spin-off of the shares of Micronet Ltd. owned by us, the acquisitions by us of the two parties and a financing. We are continuing to negotiate as to the transaction and it is our policy not to comment on transactions that are being negotiated. So, unfortunately, I will not be able to respond to any questions concerning this matter.

MICT’s revenues continued to grow for the 3 and 6 months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the year-ago periods. We reported net income of $3.4 million and $2.6 million for the 3 and 6 months ended June 30, 2018, respectively which includes the capital gain from the sale of Enertec.

Slide 4.

Now turning to slide 4, we are very pleased to report that the second quarter of 2018 was an excellent quarter for MICT, as marked by improvements in key indicators including substantial year-over-over increases in revenues and gross margins. Growth over the prior year period primarily came through shipments against our backlog.

Our second quarter 2018 revenues increased by 25% to $4.70 million, as compared to second quarter 2017 revenues of $3.76 million. Gross profit increased by 98% to $1.53 million in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to $773,000 in the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin increased to 32% in the second quarter of 2018 from 21% in the second quarter of 2017. Backlog for Micronet Ltd. was $2 million as of June 30, 2018.

Slides 5 & 6.

On slide 5 and 6 we present a market status and business development update for Micronet Ltd.

On slide 5 you will see our revenues grew by 65% in the first half of 2018, as compared to the first half of 2017. Our second quarter 2018 revenues were driven by the fulfillment of prior orders which resulted in the improvement in revenues and in gross margin. Current demand is a mix of general mobile resource management, or MRM, customers and some ELD mandate driven demand. Demand based on ELD has been less than we had previously expected. Gross margins continued to improve to 32% for the second quarter 2018, as compared to the 21% in the second quarter of 2017. Currently, our pipeline is at $2 million with orders from current and new customers.

Our new generation LTE certification is in its last mile and we expect general availability in the fourth quarter of 2018.

We see the marketplace materializing for our products. We have ongoing integrations with multiple MRM application services. Our back-office and commercial website is under construction and we expect its formal release towards year end.

Slide 6.

On slide 6 we present recent business developments. We have begun to monetize our Guardian System Design (GSD), a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service product. We signed our first agreement with a leading customer generating for GSD for $100,000 per year and we have additional agreements in the pipeline.

We also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a leading Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, service provider. We believe this agreement will produce recurring revenue from software licensing, joint lead generation and marketing efforts including immediate offering to existing installed base, as well as long term collaboration to develop next generation hardware and software video-based Telematics solutions.

We are building the foundation to address value added resellers and distribution channels by launching marketing efforts in Europe with significant transportation service providers in the marketplace. We are active in ongoing integrations, recruitments, and partner meetings. We are exploring strategic partnership initiatives including exploring video integrations and apps integrations.

I will now turn the call to Tali for a financial review.

Slide 7.

Tali Dinar:

Thank you David and good morning everyone.

Slide 7 shows our revenues for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the first quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2017. Revenues were $4.70 million in the second quarter of 2018, a 25% increase from $3.76 million in the second quarter of 2017. Revenues declined by 21% on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

Slide 8.

Slide 8 shows our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Revenues were $10.68 million for the first six months of 2018, a 65% increase from $6.46 million in the first six months of 2017.

Slide 9.

Slide 9 gives a detailed breakdown of the numbers. Gross profit margins increased to 32% in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to 21% in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in gross margin was related to Micronet’s increasing sales volumes as compared to the prior year period. Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $505,000, or 11% of sales, compared to $507,000 or 13% of sales, in the second quarter of 2017. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $1.7 million, or 36% of sales, as compared to $1.4 million, or 37% of sales, in the second quarter of 2017.

Net loss from continued operation for the second quarter of 2018 was $1,347,000, or a net loss of $0.14 per basic and diluted share, a 7% decrease compared to a net loss of $1,454,000, or a net loss of $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017.

Slide 10.

On slides 10 and 11, we present our Non-GAAP numbers. On slide 10, our total Non-GAAP net loss attributable to MICT for the second quarter of 2018 was $1,149,000, an increase of 74% over a $662,000 Non-GAAP loss in the second quarter of 2017.

Slide 11.

On slide 11, Non-GAAP net loss attributable to MICT for the 6 months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,911,000, a 26% increase as compared to a Non-GAAP loss of $1,515,000 for the first half of 2017.

Slide 12

Turning to slide 12, on our balance sheet, we have $4.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $7.2 million in working capital, and $8.3 million in stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2018. I will now turn the call back over to the operator for Q&A.

After QA session

David Lucatz:

Summary

We were pleased to see such a significant increase in revenues for Micronet during first half year, as well as improvements in gross margins.

Micronet is working on new products and continues efforts to increase its customer base through new channels and territories. We believe that our marketplace concept is being received positively by our customers and potential partners.

Completion of the Enertec sale has improved our cash position and enables us to move forward into a potential M&A transaction that may potentially create greater value for our shareholders. We believe that the BNN transaction, if completed, may create an increased valuation for our shareholders.

I would like to thank our dedicated employees and management.

Thanks and I look forward to speaking with you next quarter.
