Zvi Borovitz, Chairman of MTI Wireless, commented:

"We are very pleased to have completed the Merger, which we feel has immediately demonstrated a benefit to the Company, by increasing its range of solution offerings, revenue and profits - in the third quarter of this year we had a 100% increase in EPS over the third quarter of 2017, while operating profit increased by 58%. As explained in the announcements made during the Merger process, we believed that the Merger would lead to costs savings and efficiencies and we are happy to have achieved enhanced profits from the Merger, including at the earning per share level. We remain excited about the opportunities for the enlarged group, as we continue to see good progress in meeting our internal goals in all areas of the business".

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies:

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the preparation of financial statements for interim periods, as prescribed in International Accounting Standard No. 34 ("Interim Financial Reporting").

The interim consolidated financial information set out above does not constitute full year-end accounts within the meaning of Israeli Companies Law. It has been prepared on the going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Statutory financial information for the financial year ended December 31, 2017 was approved by the board on February 15, 2018. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 have not been audited.

The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and for the year then ended and with the notes thereto. The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2017 are applied consistently in these interim consolidated financial statements. Except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2018.

New IFRSs adopted  in the period

1.   IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all six aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting.

The details of new significant accounting policies and the nature and effect of the changes to previous accounting policies are set out below:

(a)  Classification and measurement

The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"):

-     it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

-     its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

-     it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

-     its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition.

The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets.

Financial assets at FVTPL: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost: These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses (see b below). Interest income,

foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Debt investments at FVOCI: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On de-recognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

The Company has implemented the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 retrospectively on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as of January 1, 2018 by recognizing the cumulative effect of the retrospective application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and other components of equity as of January 1, 2018.

(b)  Impairment

IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than under IAS 39.

Under IFRS 9, loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases:

-     12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

-     lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of 'investment grade'.

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

Trade receivables

Exposures within each Company were segmented based on delinquency status, geographic region, age of relationship and type of product purchased.

Actual credit loss experience was adjusted by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data was collected, current conditions and the Company's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as of January 1, 2018 by recognizing the cumulative effect of the retrospective application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and other components of equity as of January 1, 2018.

The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have an impact on the financial statements.

 

2.     IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

IFRS 15 sets out a single revenue recognition model, according to which the entity shall recognize revenue in accordance with the said core principle by implementing a five-step model framework:

1.   Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

2.   Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

3.   Determine the transaction price.

4.   Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

5.   Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Below are the significant accounting policies and judgments applied by the Company in recognizing revenue from customer contracts in detail according to the Company's main activities:

(a)  Sale of goods

The Company's contracts with customers for the sale of goods generally include one performance obligation. The Company has concluded that revenue from sale of goods should be recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the equipment.

Variable consideration

Under IFRS 15, volume rebates give rise to variable consideration. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until the associated uncertainty is subsequently resolved. The application of the constraint on variable consideration increases the amount of revenue that will be deferred.

To estimate the variable consideration to which it will be entitled, the Company applied the 'most likely amount method' for contracts with a single volume threshold and the 'expected value method' for contracts with more than one volume threshold. The selected method that best predicts the amount of variable consideration was primarily driven by the number of volume thresholds contained in the contract. The Company then applies the requirements on constraining estimates of variable consideration.

Warranty obligations

The Company generally provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law. As such, most warranties are assurance-type warranties under IFRS 15, which the Company accounts for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, consistent with its practice prior to the adoption of IFRS 15.

Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(b)  Rendering of services

Provided the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the Company will receive any consideration, revenue from services is recognized in the period in which they are rendered.

(c)  Revenues from Construction Contracts

Revenues are reported by the "percentage of completion" method. The percentage of completion is determined by dividing actual completion costs incurred to date by the total completion costs anticipated. 

When a loss from a contract is anticipated, a provision is made in the period in which it first becomes evident, for the entire loss anticipated, as assessed by the company's management.

The Company recognizes income from construction contracts over time, since the Company's performance does not create an asset with alternative use to the Company and the Company has the right to enforce payment for performance completed up to that date.

The payment terms in the projects are based on milestones set at the date of signing the contract and are based mainly on the rate of progress. For this reason, the Company is not expected to recognize assets in respect of contracts and liabilities in respect of contracts in significant amounts in relation to these contracts.

Causes of uncertainty in material estimates

Measuring the progress of long-term performance commitments - the Company is required to estimate the total cost of completing each project based on estimates of material costs, labor costs, subcontractor performance, and more.

First time application

The Company elected to apply IFRS 15 retrospectively for the first time by recognizing the cumulative effect of the retroactive application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as at January 1, 2018.

The adoption of IFRS 15 did not have an impact on the financial statements.

Note 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

A.  During March 2018 the Company announced that it was in preliminary discussions with its majority shareholder, MTI Computers & Software Services (1982) Ltd ("MTIC"), regarding a potential merger between the two companies (the "Proposed Transaction"). MTIC, whose shares were listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, at that point held 53.2% of the Company's issued ordinary shares. Following the announcement in March 2018, on 1 May , 2018 the Company announced that it had entered into a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with its majority shareholder, MTIC and the Company together being the "Merging Companies", according to which, and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 350-351 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), as a court approved scheme of arrangement between the Company, MTIC and their shareholders (the "Scheme of Arrangement"), MTIC was to be merged into the Company in a statutory merger, so that MTIC would be dissolved and all of its activities, assets and liabilities, subject to certain qualifications, would be transferred to the Company in consideration for the allotment of new ordinary shares of the Company and the transfer of MTIC's existing holdings in the Company, to all of MTIC's shareholders (the "Merger").

The Merger does not constitute a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3 and accordingly is treated by the Company in the financial statements as a pooling of interest. According to this method, the Company prepared its financial statements in order to reflect as if the Merger was in effect as of the establishment of the Company, while making the adjustments as follows:

The capital balance of the transferred activities was classified in the statement of changes in equity as part of the additional paid-in capital. Dividend distribution to the owners prior to the date of the Merger was classified to the statement of changes in equity as retained earnings.

As consideration for the Merger, the Company was to allocate to the shareholders of MTIC 31,600,436 new ordinary shares in the Company, subject to a Conversion Ratio Mechanism (as defined below). In addition, MTIC's existing holdings in the Company were also to be transferred to all of the shareholders in MTIC, pro rata to their holdings of shares in MTIC.

On the date of record for the Merger the Company was to allocate to the shareholders of MTIC (the "Date of Record for the Merger" and the "Shareholders of MTIC" respectively) 31,600,436 new ordinary shares in the Company, according to the Conversion Ratio (as defined below) as of the date of the Merger Agreement, subject to the Conversion Ratio Mechanism (as defined below) (the "Allotted Shares") and was to transfer them, together with MTIC's Holdings in the Company (the "Sold Shares"), to all of the shareholders in MTIC, pro rata to their holdings of shares in MTIC on the Date of Record for the Merger, according to the Conversion Ratio. With respect to the Merger Agreement, the "Conversion Ratio" - a ratio of 5.2689055 Sold Shares for each share in MTIC as of the date of entry into the Merger Agreement, was determined according to a valuation of the business activities of MTIC and the Company, on the basis of the consolidated and audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 of each company as valued by an independent appraiser (the "Appraiser"), was subject to updates, as necessary, according to the Conversion Ratio Mechanism (as defined below). According to the aforesaid valuation, which constituted part of the Merger Agreement (the "Valuation"), the equity ratio as of 31 December 2017, between the value of MTIC excluding MTIC's holdings in the Company (approximately US$ 10.7 million as of 31 December 2017) when compared with the value of the Company (approximately US $ 18.8 million as at 31 December 2017) was approximately 1.75: in favor of the Company.

Following completion of the Merger, assuming the Conversion Ratio is not adjusted in accordance with the Conversion Ratio Mechanism (5.26891) and provided none of the options granted by the Company are exercised, the issued share capital of the Company was to be 87,038,724 ordinary shares.

The Merger was completed on 20 August, 2018.

B.   On 5 April, 2018 the Company paid a dividend of 2 US cents per ordinary share totaling approximately US$ 396,000 and in addition 1,813,970 new ordinary shares were issued to qualifying shareholders that chose a scrip dividend alternative.
