Moni Borovitz, CEO of MTI, commented:

"In the first half of 2019 we continued to perform in accordance with our business plan, delivering significant revenue growth and increased profitability, whilst at the same time converting this growth into operating cash flow.

We are very pleased with the results for the first half. These demonstrate the financial benefits of the recent merger, which has delivered double digit year-on-year revenue growth and increased profit margins.

As previously announced, since the beginning of 2019 we have seen significant growth in the Company's order book across all three business divisions including: the Antenna Division, the Water Control & Management Division and the Distribution & Professional Consulting Services Division.

We made solid progress in the testing of our 5G antenna offering with OEM vendors in the first half of the year and we continue to see substantial demand from our customers for 5G antenna solutions, as mobile operators plan and implement their network upgrades. We believe that this demand for 5G broadband has good potential to provide substantial future growth for our business.

In July 2019, we completed the acquisition of 50% of our distributor for water management solutions in Australia. This earnings enhancing transaction will provide a profitable platform from which to expand and grow Mottech's business across the continent.

Our Distribution & Professional Consulting Services Division showed remarkable revenue growth in the first half, as projects that we have designed solutions for have started to mature, and we expect to see more design wins convert into revenue in the future.

We are very positive about the outlook for the business. Trends in key drivers for the business, including the demand for efficient water management solutions, increased defence budgets and the demand for broadband, provide us with confidence in meeting our goals of increasing revenue, profits and free cash flow.

We also note the weakening of the UK pound against the US Dollar which is the Company's reporting currency. If this trend continues it will likely increase the profitability of the Company relative to the UK pound, and in-turn increase earnings per share".

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - General:

Corporate information:

M.T.I Wireless Edge Ltd. (hereafter - the "Company", or collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is an Israeli corporation. The Company was incorporated under the Companies Act in Israel on December 30, 1998, and commenced operations on July 1, 2000. Since March 2006, the Company's shares have been traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

The formal address of the Company is 11 Hamelacha Street, Afek industrial Park, Rosh-Ha'Ayin, Israel.

The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the following areas:

-     Development, design, manufacture and marketing of antennas for the military and civilian sectors.

-     A leading provider of remote control solutions for water and irrigation applications based on Motorola's IRRInet state of the art control, monitoring and communication technologies.

-     Providing consulting, representation and marketing services to foreign companies in the field of RF and Microwave, including engineering services in the field of aerostat systems and system engineering services.

The Company included the results of its aerostat system division in its representation and consulting services division, as it deems this appropriate given the nature of the consulting services provided in both segments and the respective size of these segments.

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, 2018 was approved by the board on March 10, 2019. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 have not been audited.

The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018 are applied consistently in these interim consolidated financial statements. Except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2019.

New IFRSs adopted in the period

-     IFRS 16 Leases

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 retrospectively from January 1, 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognized in the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019.

The main impact of adopting the standard early is the elimination of existing requirement on lessees to classify leases as operating lease (off-balance sheet) or finance lease, and they are now required to use a single accounting model for all leases, similarly to how finance leases are currently accounted for. In agreements where the Group is the Lessee, it applies IFRS 16 using a single accounting model under which it recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability upon inception of the lease contract. It does so for all leases in which the Group has right to control the use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Accordingly, the Group recognizes depreciation and depreciation charges on the right-of-use asset and tests the need for recognizing impairment of the right-of-use asset in compliance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets", and also recognizes finance expenses in relation to a lease liability. Therefore, beginning on first-time adoption, rent expenses relating to properties rented under operating leases, are now presented as assets that are depreciated through depreciation and depreciation assets.

For all leases, the Group applied the transitional provisions such that it initially recognized a liability at the commencement day at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments during the lease, discounted using the effective interest rate as of that date, and concurrently recognized a right-of-use asset at an amount identical to the liability. As a result, the standard had no impact on equity and the retained earnings of the Group as at initial application. 

As part of the initial application, the Group elected to adopt the following practical expedients, as permitted by the standard:

a. The use of a single discount rate for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics;

b. Not separating lease and non-lease components of a contract, and instead accounting for all components as a single lease;

c. Excluding initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset as at initial application;

d. Use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease;

New IFRSs adopted in the period (cont.) 

The following new significant accounting policy for agreements in which the Group is the lessee was applied beginning on January 1, 2019 following initial application of the standard: 

Right-of-use assets: 

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; and initial direct costs incurred. The recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment. The right-of-use assets are presented within property, plant and equipment.

Lease liabilities:

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

Lease term:

The term of a lease is determined as the non-cancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

Depreciation of a right-of-use asset: 

Subsequent to the inception of the lease, a right-of-use asset is measured using the cost method, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and is adjusted for re-measurements of the lease liability. Depreciation is measured using the straight-line method over the useful life or contractual lease term, whichever ends earlier.

Lessees will be also required to re-measure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will recognize the amount of the re-measurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset, until the carrying amount is reduced to zero.

The following table presents a summary of the impact on the interim consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2019, assuming that the previous accounting policy of the Group for leases would have continued in that period.

The impact on the interim consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2019 (Unaudited):

Upon initial adoption, the Group measured the right-of-use assets in an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognized. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. There was no impact on retained earnings upon initial adoption of the standard.  

The following is a reconciliation of the Company's liabilities in respect of operating leases disclosed in the financial statements as of December 31, 2018, discounted at the incremental interest rate on the initial implementation date and lease commitments recognized on January 1, 2019 (Unaudited):

Note 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

A.  Merger

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. 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 May 1, 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 did 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 were classified to the statement of changes in equity as retained earnings.

As consideration for the Merger, the Company allocated 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 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 allocated 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 transferred 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2017, between the value of MTIC excluding MTIC's holdings in the Company (approximately US$ 10.7 million as of December 31, 2017) when compared with the value of the Company (approximately US $18.8 million as at December 31, 2017) was approximately 1.75: in favor of the Company.

The Merger was completed on August 20, 2018.  Following completion of the Merger, the Conversion Ratio was not adjusted in accordance with the Conversion Ratio Mechanism (5.26891) and none of the options granted by the Company were exercised, and accordingly on completion of the Merger, the issued share capital of the Company was 87,038,724 ordinary shares.

B.   On March 11, 2019, the Board of directors declared a cash dividend of 1.5 US cents per share, representing approximately $1,306,000 in total. This dividend was paid on April 5, 2019 to shareholders on the register at the close of trading on March 22, 2019.

C.   On January 24, 2019 the Company announced a share repurchase program to conduct market purchases of ordinary shares of par value 0.01 Israeli Shekels each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company up to a maximum value of £150,000 (the "Programme"). The Programme is managed by Peterhouse Capital Limited ("Peterhouse Capital"). The Company has entered into an arrangement with Peterhouse Capital in relation to the Programme, where Peterhouse Capital will make the trading decisions concerning the timing of the market purchases of Ordinary Shares independently of and uninfluenced by the Company, with such trading decisions being in line with the terms of the Programme. Purchases may continue during any prohibited periods of the Company, as defined by the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU ("MAR"), which may fall during the term of the Programme.  The Company reserves the right to bring a halt to the Programme under circumstances that it deems to be appropriate, provided that it is permissible for this to occur in compliance with MAR.

The Programme commenced on January 28, 2019 and was to continue until no later than July 26, 2019. Ordinary Shares acquired as a result of the Programme will be held by MTI Engineering and in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 will not have any voting rights. An objective of the Programme is that Ordinary Shares acquired by MTI Engineering will be resold, provided that this occurs under circumstances that the Board of MTI deems to be appropriate and in compliance with MAR. Cash generated from any eventual resales of Ordinary Shares acquired by MTI Engineering under the Programme will be credited to a share dealing account held with a third party, which will be under the direction of Peterhouse Capital and such cash may be used by Peterhouse Capital to make future purchases of Ordinary Shares under the Programme. On May 30, 2019, MTI Engineering sold the entire holding it had at a price of 23.5 pence per share, generating a profit of $21,000 which was recorded within additional paid-in-capital. The funds received from the sale were returned into the share dealing account held with a third party, which will be under the direction of Peterhouse Capital and such cash may be used by Peterhouse Capital to make future purchases of Ordinary Shares under the Programme.

On July 24, 2019, the Company announced that the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of MTI Engineering decide to continue with the Programme for another six months until January 26, 2020.

D. During April 2019, the Company's Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, exercised options over 450,000 Ordinary Shares in exchange for a total consideration of approximately $56,000.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

A.  On June 24, 2019 the Company announced that Mottech Water Solution Ltd ("Mottech"), had entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 50% of Parkland Australia Pty Ltd ("Parkland Australia"), a value added reseller of Mottech's solutions in Australia, for a consideration of up to 0.8m Australian dollars ("AUD") (approximately US$0.55m).  0.6m AUD (US$0.41m) of the consideration will be paid upon closing and the reminder in two tranches by July 2020 and July 2021 based on the financial performance of Parkland Australia in FY 2020 and FY 2021 (ending 30 June 2020 and 2021 respectively) (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was completed on 30 July 2019.

No disclosures were made in these financial statements regarding the fair value of the consideration transferred or the assets and liabilities acquired, since the business combination was completed close to the approval of the financial statements.

B.   During July 2019, employees of the Company exercised options over 240,000 Ordinary Shares in exchange for a total consideration of approximately $28,000.

C.  During July and August 2019 the Company announced that MTI Engineering purchased 491,500 shares under the Programme and as at the date of this report, a total of 491,500 Ordinary Shares are held by MTI Engineering under the Programme.
