1.3. The activity of the Company and development of its business

1.3.1. General

The Company was incorporated in Israel on January 16, 2005, as a private company named "Sarnakot Ltd.", and on May 10, 2005, the Company changed its name to its current name.

On May 10, 2021, the Company published an initial public offering prospectus of the Company's shares (the "IPO"), and starting on May 13, 2021, the Company's shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. ("TASE"), and the Company became a public company.

On February 4, 2022, the Company submitted a non-public draft to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of a document for listing the Company's shares in the US (Registration Statements on Form F-1), in the framework of examining the possibility of the Company making an initial public offering of the Company's shares in the US. As of this date, the offering of the Company's shares in the US subject to the discretion of the competent organs of the Company, is uncertain and depends on a variety of factors, including suitable market conditions and obtaining SEC approval for performing such offer. For more information see the immediate report published by the Company on February 6, 2022 (reference no: 2022-01- 013587), which is included in this Report by way of reference.

From its incorporation date and as of the date of this Report, the Company, including through the other Group companies, is engaged in the area of solutions and services for clearing and operation of businesses using a global platform.

Within the framework of its activities, the Company offers its customers, through its platform, which combines proprietary hardware and software, solutions and comprehensive services for unattended points of sale and service ("Unattended" or the "Unattended Activity"), as well as attended points of sale and service ("Attended" or the "Attended Activity").

Within the framework its Unattended Activity, the Company can transform of cash-only Unattended points of sale and service into points of sale that accept cashless payment by credit card, immediate charge card ("Debit"), and other prepaid cards, as well as through other alternative payment methods (such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Ali Pay, Samsung Pay and more). In addition, the Company is replacing competitors in the field that also enable cashless payment, and furthermore, the platform developed by the Company offers operators of points of sale or the Unattended service clearing options and a wide range of tools for remote operation, business promotion, management and control of their business, including monitoring inventory, revenues and malfunctions through a cloud-based system which enables users to create their own reports, warnings and more ("Telemetry"). Customers who purchase both the software developed by the Company and the hardware it markets, benefit from a single platform that enables receipt of cashless payment as well as Telemetry services, including remote management, monitoring and control of the Unattended points of sale and service, thus enabling optimization of point of sale management, reducing operating costs and maximizing sales potential.

The platform developed by the Company provides the aforementioned services for different types of Unattended points of sale and service, primarily automatic vending machines of different kinds, including automatic vending machines for snacks and beverages, coffee machines, kiddie rides, massage chairs, laundromats, machines for selling non-prescription drugs, public services, car washes, and office services (such as operating printers and scanners), parking services, tourist services (such as binocular operation and souvenir purchase at major tourist sites), fueling services, ticketing services, and more.

Within the framework of the Company's Attended Activity, which commenced in 2019, the Company offers its customers Attended points of sale and services that provide the customer's business with management and operating tools using a wide variety of payment methods, bookkeeping, business promotion, logistic management, procedure setting, as well as employee authorization and management. Services for Attended points of sale in the framework of the Attended Activity are provided through a spectrum of unique products which are suitable for different business uses such as Smart POS, Mobile Smart POS, Self-Checkout, Self-Order and Order at the Table.

In order to penetrate the market and establish its Attended Activity, the Company has acquired two leading companies in the field. In September 2019, the Company acquired the entire share capital of Modularity Technologies Ltd., a company engaged in the development of designated software for retail software, and in March 2020 and May 2021, the Company acquired the entire share capital of Nayax Retail Ltd. (hereinafter: "Nayax Retail"), a company specializing in providing universal computerization solutions for retailers, based on SAP Business One.

As of the date of this Report, the Company's Attended Activity focuses on the Israeli and UK market and the Company intends to expand it to the US and Australian markets in the coming year.

The Company's estimates regarding the expansion of the Attended Activity to the US and Australian markets in the coming year, as described above, is deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, the materialization of which is uncertain and is not in the Company's control. It is clarified that there is no certainty that the estimate shall materialize, and it may even materially differ from what was presented above, inter alia due to it depending on external factor that are not under the Company's control, among other things the factors set forth in the framework of the risk factors in the Company's area of activity (as set forth in section 1.35 below).

In practice, the Company provides its customers, business owners, with a single product that integrates a series of services and capabilities, which until now had been provided to business owners through different services, by different companies, which naturally were not synchronized. The Company's services and products enable the customer to manage its business, and all aspects thereof, independently with maximum efficiency, while engaging with just one entity for management purposes – the Company.

As of the date of this Report, the Company provides services to approximately 30,000 customers that operate approx. 517,000 Unattended points of sale in over 60 countries throughout the world (including Australia, Italy, the United States, the UK, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Japan, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, China, Spain, Czech Republic, France, Canada, Sweden and Switzerland). The Company has a significant presence in markets where it has identified a high level of immediate potential, including Australia, USA, UK, Germany, Japan, Israel and Canada. In addition, the platform the Company offers its customers enables payment through over 40 types of currency and provides support in 34 languages. The Company markets its products to diverse customers of various kinds and from different fields, and its products are suitable both for small, local customers with just a few points of sale, as well as large, global customers with hundreds and up to tens of thousands of points of sale.

In order to allow clearing of credit cards, Debit, prepaid cards and additional payment methods at the points of sale and service where its products are installed, the Company has engaged with financial institutions throughout the world, including the largest credit card companies in the world, which allow the Company's customers to receive payments in more than 80 payment types, and it is pursuing a strategy of continuing to expand the circle of financial institutions with which it has agreements, in order to support continued global expansion.

The Company estimates it is one of the leading companies in its field in the world. The Company has approx. 16 years' experience in the field, during which time it has managed to develop a large pool of protocols, enabling the Company to market its platform to many types of Unattended points of sale, which operate in the absence of uniform standards and according to different protocols, by simple "plug and play" installation.

The Company estimates it is one of the only companies in the world that offers its customers a comprehensive solution, end to end, enabling receipt of cashless payments, as well as management and operating services, both to Unattended and Attended points of sale and service.

The Company's products are designed to assist its customers in maximizing their sales potential, reduce operating costs, and enabling to optimize management of their business. The Company estimates that installing its products leads to a significant improvement in its customers' sales, due to the wide variety of payment possibilities its products offer consumers, the continuing connection some of the Company's products create between the customer and the consumer, the enhanced pricing capabilities its products provide to the customer, and because its products allow 24/7 monitoring of the point of sale's activities, in a manner that enables the operator of the point of sale to receive a real-time picture of the activities of the point of sale. The Company also estimates that installing its products significantly reduces the operating costs of its customers, primarily due to the ability to reduce manpower employed by the customers, in addition to the management characteristics the Company's products offer its customers.

The solutions offered by the Company are a very significant and integral component of its customers' activities. As proof, the average rate of the Company's net revenues from Returning Customers (as such term is defined in Section 1.13.1 below), between 2020-2021 was approximately 120%. The average rate of losses for Customer Abandonment (as such term is defined in Section 1.13.1 below) between 2020-2021, was only 3.1%. Similarly, the number of Customer customers quadrupled from 2017 to 2021. For additional details about the Company's customers, see Section 1.13 below.

The Company has grown consistently since its establishment in 2005, and in the past few years the Company's growth has even accelerated. For the key metrics by way of which the Company examines its growth, see section 1.2 of the Board of Directors Report.

1.8. General environment and impact of external factors on the Group's activity

Hereunder is a description of the main factors, trends, events and developments in the Company's macro-economic environment, which to the best of the Company's knowledge and in the Company's estimation, have, or are expected to have, a material impact on the business results or development of the Company and/or its area of activity:

1.8.1. Regulatory changes

The Group's activities, specifically due to the fact that the platform marketed by the Company enables clearing services, are subject to significant regulation in different territories, including regulations with respect to providing payment services, antimoney laundering and provision of credit services. As set forth above, the Group is active in over 60 countries around the world, but holds regulatory licenses only in some of the countries where it is active. The Group exercises its discretion in the question whether its activity in a certain country is subject to the licensing and regulatory requirements of that country, and the regulators or authorities of that country may, contrary to the Group's position, decide that the Group's activity is subject to regulation in that country. It is noted that insofar as the Group does or shall not meet the regulatory requirements of a certain country, regulatory enforcement actions may be taken against it, which include fines, cancellation of licenses and permits, restrictions on its products and services, and additional regulatory consequences, such as requirements for amending existing licenses and submitting new requests for licenses. These and similar consequences may be significant to the Company and adversely affect it and its results.

In addition, the Group's activities are exposed to regulatory changes in its different areas of activity. Changes in the regulations applicable to the Group's activities in different areas require the Company to invest financial and management resources in making adjustments to the Company's activities as required in order to comply with regulatory requirements and could substantially impact the Company's financial position and results on the one hand, and may on the other hand act as a substantial barrier to entry for potential competitors.

In certain countries the Group relies on agreements with the Clearing Entities (as defined in Section 1.10.2.2 below) that are local clearing license holders, in order to provide clearing services to the customers, and therefore changes to regulation and/or to the provisions of laws applicable with respect to the Clearing Entities, or which may bring to an end the engagement between the Group and the Clearing Entities or lead to changes to its characteristics, in a manner not allowing the Group to continue engaging with them or to engage with other Clearing Entities, it may materially adversely affect the Company's business status, its financial conditions, and its operating results.

For additional details about the Clearing Entities, see Section 1.10.2.2 below.

For additional details on the legislation and regulations applicable to the Group's activities, see Section 1.28 below.

1.8.2. Exchange rate fluctuations

A material part of the Company's expenses is incurred in Israel, in ILS. However, the Group is active in over 60 different countries and therefore receives payment in a large number of currencies (primarily EUR, USD, AUD and GBP). As a result, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in the different exchange rates opposite ILS. In addition, the Company's financial statements are in USD, and therefore the Company is also exposed to fluctuations in the different exchange rates opposite USD. However, because the payments received by the Group are spread out over a large number of currencies, some of the impact of the fluctuations in different exchange rates opposite ILS and USD are offset and cancel each other out.

1.8.3. The state of the economy and changes in the standards of living and consumption habits

The market in which the Company is active is sensitive, to a certain extent, to changes in household income and the level of global economic activity. A global economic slowdown or recession, and a resultant drop in the standard of living, could lead to a drop in the scope of private consumption, and therefore to reduced use of the points of sale operated by the Company's customers, in a manner which could impact negatively on the Company's revenues from existing customers, and also make it difficult to recruit new customers or expand activities with existing customers. However, as of the date of this Report, most of the Group's customers are operators of automatic vending machines and the products sold using them are mostly basic, inexpensive consumer products,such as soft beverages, coffee, snacks and more. The average transaction price in the aforementioned vending machines is approx. USD 1.8, so naturally, the consumption of this type of product continues, and is not impacted significantly, even during an economic slowdown.

1.8.4. Dealing with the coronavirus, including the global shortage of components

During the first quarter of 2020, the coronavirus (Covid-19) broke out around the world (the "Coronavirus"), and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus a pandemic. The Coronavirus has led to sharp drops in markets throughout the world and a general slowdown in the world economy.

The general slowdown in the world economy has led, and may lead in the future, to a drop in consumption, and therefore it has had, and may have in the future, a negative impact on the Group's activities and results. Inter alia, the impact on the Group's activities is reflected in a reduction in the number of consumer transactions executed with the Company's customers at Unattended and Attended points of sale, particularly during periods when on-site work at non-essential places of employment was prohibited, or tourist and leisure sites as well as other businesses to which the Group supplies services, were closed. However, as of the end of 2021 and as of the date of this Report, the number of active Attended and Unattended points of sale of the Company's customers as well as the number of consumer transactions performed at the Attended and Unattended points of sale, is significantly higher that what it had been prior to the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

Another trend that has resulted from the outbreak of the Coronavirus is that consumers prefer to choose cashless payment method in order to reduce contact with other human beings and surfaces, within the social distancing rules. This behavior has had a positive impact on the Company, since its platform and products enable different cashless payment methods, including through alternative payment products (such as credit cards and payment applications) and online payment.

In addition, the spread of the Coronavirus around the world caused uncertainty in the global economy and staggering economic damage following the closure of many transactions, a slowdown in production, delay in shipments and partial closure of domestic and international transportation, which together with the slowdown in production, created a global shortage of components require for producing many electronic products.

Said global shortage in the availability of components adversely affected the gross profit margin of the Company from hardware sales during Q3 and Q4 of 2021, due to the price increase of many components that the Company uses when producing its hardware products, some of which were significantly adversely affected. The Company is adopting a strategy of continuing to supply the hardware without raising the sale price, even under these circumstances, since, in the Company's estimate, the hardware constitutes the strategic basis for engaging with new customers and expanding operations with existing customers, and it constitutes one of the cornerstones for the Company's continued growth over time. Hardware sales constituted approximately 40% of the Company's sales in 2021.

Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus spread around the globe, the Company has been taking action in order to cope with issues and events pertaining to the crisis and their potential implications. With the purpose of reducing the effects of the crisis, the Company is among other things taking the follows steps:

  • (1) Business development the Company is continuing to examine opportunities for business development and is working towards promoting business opportunities in the Israeli and international markets.
  • (2) Marketing activity in light of the Coronavirus crisis, the Company has accelerated the launch of its marketing and sale activity, including online, so that it shall engage with its customers and execute sale transactions through its websites.
  • (3) Cost of components pursuant to the Company's aforementioned strategy, the sale of hardware components constitutes a significant cornerstone for its continued growth. The Company is working to improve the supply chain in view of the global components crisis, which includes it looking to add a manufacturer of the hardware components, expanding the circle of suppliers from whom the Company purchases components itself and through its subcontractors, and extending the range of equipping itself with components beyond what had in the past been accepted.
  • (4) Streamlining programs the Company in 2020 implemented two streamlining programs, in the framework of which it partially reduced the scope of employment and salary of its employees, and it put a small part of them on unpaid vacation. These streamlining programs ended in January 2021, so that all of the employees who had been put on unpaid vacation returned to work at the Company, and all salary reductions and reduction in scope of employment were revoked.
  • (5) State-guaranteed loan in May 2020, the Company receive a long-term loan guaranteed by the State of Israel of ILS 15 million from a banking corporation. The loan bears 1.5% prime interest, which has been paid on a monthly basis since May 2021. The loan principle was repaid in 48 monthly installments starting from May 2021.
  • (6) Support from subsidiaries (a) in 2020 the subsidiaries of Nayax LLC and Greenhithe Software Solutions Ltd. received forgivable loans from the US government, as part of government aid for coping with the Coronavirus, in total of approximately USD 483,000. In 2021, a confirmation of forgiveness for returning such loans of approximately USD 483,000 was obtained, so that they in practice turned into a grant; and (b) in 2020 Nayax AU PTY Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, received a grant for incentivizing employment

from the Australian government in amount of approximately AUD 222,000 (approximately USD 170,000), which it is not required to return.

In light of the fact that the Coronavirus is an ongoing crisis, which is difficult to know how it will develop in the future, the Company's management cannot at this stage assess the scope of the Coronavirus's future implications on the Company's activity and its results. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company estimates that its long-term activity is not expected to be substantially impacted, in light of the Company's existing customer base and the potential for future engagements with existing customers and with potential customers in the markets where it operates and in additional markets. In addition, the Company's management believes that the spread of the Coronavirus will not significantly impact its operations, even the opposite, since the dependance on digital solutions for remote management only increased and the importance of the Group's products for Unattended commerce is only getting stronger.

The Company's estimates with respect to the possible implications of the spread of the Coronavirus, including the global shortage of components, on the Company's activities, as described above, are deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, as it is affected by many factors outside the Company's control It should be emphasized that there is no certainty that these estimates shall materialize, in full or in part, and they may even be materially different from those presented above, inter alia due to dependency on external factors outside of the Company's control, such as changes in patterns of the spread of the Coronavirus, decisions of the authorized authorities in Israel and in the world and the impact on the consumption habits of the Group's customers.

1.8.5. Competition

The Company's area of activity is characterized by relatively low competition. The existence of other players in the Company's area of activity, together with everincreasing demands to provide technological solutions to make payment and operation functions accessible for Attended and Unattended points of sale, as well as changes in the regulations applicable to the Group's activities, require the Company to permanently engage in research and development activities, in order to maintain its ability to offer its customers effective, comprehensive and complete solutions in its area of activity. Notwithstanding the above, the Company has extensive experience and wide-ranging know-how in its area of activity, as well as

A-20

a large research and development team, which enable it to continue to develop the hardware and software it markets, and tailor them to developing technology and regulatory changes in its area of activity. In addition, the Company estimates that it has an advantage over its competitors, since it is the leader in the world in the field because, unlike its competitors, the Company provides its customers an overall solution which it developed itself, end to end, across the entire value chain, namely, development of hardware and software, establishment of communications and cloud transmission mediums, providing payment possibilities, management and Telemetry capabilities, and providing remote operation capabilities and service after purchase. In addition, the Company markets its solutions and services throughout the world, while most of its competitors offer solutions only in specific geographical regions. For further details regarding the impact of competition on the Company's activities, including the Company's competitive advantage in its field of activity, see Section 1.16 in this Report.

The Company's estimates regarding the trends, events and developments in the macro-economic environment in which the Company is active, and which are expected to impact on its activities and business results, as well as regarding their manner of influence on the Company, its activities and their results, are deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, as it is affected by many factors outside the Company's control, and is impacted, inter alia, by the factors detailed above, and the risk factors in the Company's area of activity (as detailed in Section 1.35 below).

Part Three: Description of Company's Business According to Areas of Activity

As of the date of this Report, the Company is engaged one area of activity - solutions and services for clearing and operation of businesses using a global platform.

1.9. General information on the area of activity

1.9.1. Structure of area of activity and applicable changes

This area of activity is characterized as an international area with great growth potential. As of the date of this Report, the Group is active in over 60 countries around the world, primarily the following countries: USA, UK, Israel, Australia, Poland, Italy, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Japan, Mexico, China, Spain, Czech Republic, France, Canada, Sweden and Switzerland.

Five central growth engines can be identified in the area with respect to points of sale and service:

(A) An increase in the number and types of products and services supplied by Unattended points of sale and service

Within global automation processes, many services in all areas of life are becoming automated. For example, already at present the services provided by Unattended points of sale (especially by automatic vending machines) include laundry, gas pumps, sale of food and beverage, coffee machines, sale of nonprescription medications, public transportation services, tourism services (for example: binocular operation and souvenir purchase at major tourist sites), office services (for example: printer and scanner operation) and more. The types of services being automated are ever-increasing, thereby creating growth potential in the Company's area of activity. Following this trend, the Company is expanding its activity to additional types of services such as charging stations for electronic vehicles (see Section 1.10.4.1 below) and payment management for public transportation (see Section 1.12.2 below).

(B) Switching from cash payment to payment by credit card, Debit, prepaid cards, and to alternative payment methods

Globalization processes and an increase in the rate of online purchases in the world, accompanied by efforts by many governments in the world to reduce the use of cash within anti-money laundering and counter terrorism, have led to a widespread rise in use of credit cards, Debit, and prepaid cards. In addition, trends of switching to alternative payment methods such as digital wallets, continue to develop and take center stage alongside traditional payment methods. Payment by credit card, debit card, additional payment methods, and alternative payment methods increases the efficiency of sales processes for products and services, both for the seller (the Company's customer) and for the consumer.

Today many consumers are searching for automated, cashless payment possibilities due to the ever-increasing importance of considerations such as convenience, efficiency, and shorter lines in the purchasing process. As a result, service providers must adapt to the developing trends, which is expected to lead to investments in developing an Unattended commercial environment of a substantial scope.

By way of illustration, and according to a study of Barclays PLC, a global leader from the UK which provides financial services, the rate of cash transactions in the Attended area in 2018 was 42%, and the expectation is that until 2023 such rate shall only be 33%, while the downward trend is expected to continue.

These developments are expected to lead to an increase in the demand for services of the kind offered by the Company, since the Company's customers, owners and operators of Attended and Unattended points of sale and service, shall want to adapt to the worldwide trend of increased credit cards, Debit, prepaid cards, and alternative payment method use, and enable their customers to pay using these methods, thereby increasing the scope of purchases executed at their points of sale and service.

(C) The percentage of Unattended points of sale not supported by providers of solutions and services in the Company's area of activity

As of the date of this Report, the solutions offered by the Company support approx. 517,000 automatic managed and connected machines in the various territories throughout the world. In the Company's estimate and according to the Market Study that it conducted in 2021, (as defined below), as of May 2021, approx. 44 million Unattended vending and service machines are active, while only approx. 9 million of them are supported and receive services from providers of solutions and services in the Company's area of activity, whether through a partial solution, or a complete solution such as that offered by the Company. In other words, the Company estimates that there are approx. 35 million Unattended vending and service machines which have capability to accept cash payment only, and whose owners do not have the capability to manage them remotely. In actuality, the owners and operators of approx. 80% of the automatic vending machines in the world are potential customers of the Company's area of activity. These figures point to numerous growth opportunities both for the market and the Company, since it estimates it is among the leading companies in the field in the world at present.

(D) Connecting additional Unattended points of sale for existing customers of the Company

As set forth in Section 1.13 below, as of the date of this Report the Company has approximately 30,000 customers that in the Company's estimate own or operate, in aggregate, over a million Unattended points of sale, while not all the machines owned by those customers are equipped with the Company's products, and not all the machines are supported by the Company's services. This constitutes a growth engine for the Company, since it succeeds in defining a potential demarcated market for the Company, with almost no competitors, with customers who are familiar with and interested in the Company's services and products, as well as with an active and proven business infrastructure.

The Company is growing together with its customers over time. The below graph presents the revenues generated by the Company from its customers in the years following the year they first became Company customers. Every group represents the customers form whom the Company first generated revenues in a certain year, for example: revenues from customers who first purchased the Company's solutions in 2019 grew more than fourfold between 2018 and 2021. We view this growth as a positive indicator for the efficiency of the Company's solutions and the customers' satisfaction.

(E) The revolution of incorporating technology in the Attended world

The Attended market, meaning the world of stores, leisure and commerce, is in the wake of a technological revolution in which even traditional stores shall incorporate technological products for different uses, such as Mobile Smart POS, Self-Checkout, Self-Order, Order at the Table and more. These types of products, and similar products, are penetrating the market and becoming more and more common. Since the Company has had a presence in this market for some time, the Company has established a successful market in Israel with technological depth of services. In addition, the Company estimates it to be one of the only vendors in the world that offers both Attended and Unattended solutions, and the Company estimates that these characteristics place it at the forefront of the technological revolution and shall enable it to have a successful exit into the worldwide Attended market.

In order to establish its growth engines in the Unattended area, the Company in 2021 conducted a comprehensive market study that was performed by one of the largest market research institutes in the world (the "Market Study" or "Study"). The Study includes a comprehensive review of the market where the Company is currently active, as well as detailed forecasts regarding the short- and mid-term market activity. The Study's findings show that the number of Unattended points of sale active all over the world is expected to grow from approx. 44 million as of May 2021, to approx. 54 million Unattended points of sale in 2025. The Study's findings also show that a significant growth in the number of online Unattended points of sale is expected, in one form or another by service providers in the area of activity, out of the total Unattended points of sale, while the rate of such points of sale is expected to grow from approx. 9 million currently up to approx. 20 million online Unattended points of sale, in 2025. Similarly, according to the Study's findings, the Company estimates that the scope of annual transactions in the market of digital solutions for Unattended points of sale is projected to grow from an estimated rate of approx. 41 billion euros, as of May 2021, up to a scope of approx. 123 billion euros in 2025, while it is estimated that the share of machines for automatic sale of food and beverages shall be approximately 40% of this amount, approximately EUR 52 billion. In addition, the automation market for retail services is itself expected to grow from USD 12.5 billion in 2019 to a market value of USD 24.6 billion in 2025, based on a third party study of Mordor Intelligence.

In the Company's estimation, engagement of a customer which operates Unattended points of sale and service with the Company, and embedding the platform offered by the Company at these points, is projected to materially increase the customer's sales from the points of sale, since the platform the Company offers its customers enables consumers to pay at the Unattended points of sale using diverse payment methods, thereby simplifying the purchasing process at those points of sale. Furthermore, since the platform offered by the Company enables its customers to remotely manage and operate the Unattended points of sale they operate, embedding the platform the Company offers at the customer's Unattended points of sale substantially reduces, in the Company's estimation, the operating costs of the operator of the points of sale (the Company's customer), since it obviates the need for the operator of the Unattended points of sale to physically attend to them frequently, for the purposes of ongoing operation, thereby enabling the operator to reduce manpower employment, and the implementation of the Company's platform in the Unattended points of sale of the customer enables to monitor activity of the point of sale 24/7, in a manner that provides the operator with a picture of real time status of activity at the point of sale. In the Company's estimate, implementing such services provided by the Company is also preferable for the consumers themselves. From a market study conducted by a third party in February 2020,3 among consumers who use Unattended services (not necessarily from the Company), a picture emerges that 49.4% of the users of such services prefer Unattended services as they are faster, 34.7% of the consumers prefer these services as they shorten lines compared to traditional consumerism, and 33% of the consumers enjoy using

3 PYMNTS, The Future of Unattended Retail Report (February 2020)

Unattended services as they do not feel "pressure" in the buying process, compared to a similar process vis-à-vis human service providers

The services offered by the Company within its Attended Activity also enable Company customers, business owners who operate Attended points of sale, to increase the efficiency of the point of sale, by replacing the numerous business management software programs and products they have used thus far, with the Company's product, which provides them with a solution from end to end, and which enables control, monitoring and tracking of all aspects of the business, thereby increasing the profitability of business owners, the Company's customers.

In the Company's estimation, these advantages provided by the platform offered by the Company, position the Company among the leading companies in the world in its area of activity today.

The Company's estimates regarding projections about and the development of its activities and results, as well as the development and growth of the market in which it is active, are deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, as it is affected by many factors outside the Company's control. These estimates could not materialize, in full or in part, or could materialize in a manner other than anticipated, due to changes in the economic condition of global markets, in addition to other factors outside the Company's control and there is no certainty regarding the manner of and date for materialization thereof.

1.9.2. Legislative restrictions, standards and special constraints on the Company's areas of activity

The Company's area of activity is subject to significant regulation in its areas of activity, particularly as the platform the Company markets enables clearing services. Changes in the regulation applicable to the Group's activities could impact its economic condition and results, yet on the other hand may serve as a significant barrier to the entry of potential competitors. For additional details about restrictions and supervision on the Company, see Section 1.28 below.

1.9.3. Changes in the scope of activity and profitability of the area

For information on changes in the scope of activity in the area, see Section 1.9.1 above.

1.9.4. Developments in markets in the area of activities, or changes in the characteristics of its customers

The solutions the Company offers to its customers in the various territories throughout the world are suitable both for small and medium customers who operate up to a few dozen or hundreds of points of sale, as well as large business customers who operate thousands and tens of thousands of points of sale. Therefore, the Company has been making efforts to attract small and medium customers on the one hand, and to attract customers and strengthen its ability to support large customers and their complex needs, on the other hand. Thus, the Company has a sales system aimed at small and medium customers, and on the other hand the Company's sales system has been bolstered and positions have been introduced thereto such as customer success manager, who is responsible within the sales system for the daily management of large customers, while working with the Company's different departments to meet the expectations of the relevant customer.

The time required to recruit a large customer is significantly greater than the time required to recruit a small customer and naturally, usually the prices paid by a large customer are lower than the prices paid by a small customer. On the other hand, each large customer connects a high number of points of sale to the Company's platform, over time.

1.9.5. Technological changes that impact materially on the area

As stated above, within global automation processes, many services in all areas of life are becoming automated, and the types of services becoming automated are ever-increasing. In addition, the Company's area of activity is impacted significantly by technological changes and developments, such as digital wallets and tap on phone technology, a newly developing technology that enables any person to accept credit card, Debit, and prepaid card payment using their smartphone. Significant potential advantages for the Company are inherent in these developments, as they are expected to enable the Company to expand the scope of its activities both in its existing areas of activity as well as in additional areas of activity, based on the Company's existing technological platform. On the other hand, they require the Company to adapt the platform it has developed to the aforementioned developments, and sometimes to develop completely new products.

The Company's estimates regarding technological developments in the market are deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, as it is affected by many factors outside the Company's control. These estimates could not materialize, in full or in part, or could materialize in a manner other than anticipated, due to changes in the economic condition of global markets, in addition to other factors outside the Company's control and there is no certainty regarding the manner of and date for materialization thereof.

1.9.6. The primary success factors in the area of activity and applicable changes

The Company estimates that primary success factors in its area of activity are as detailed hereunder:

  • (A)Recruitment, cultivation and retention of experienced, high-quality human capital with professional skills and flexible thinking. The Company estimates that the fact that it has high-quality, experienced human capital, which has been with the Company for a significant amount of time, contributes substantially to its ability to provide its customers with precise and flexible solutions, quickly and efficiently.
  • (B) Investment in research and development The Company has developed a platform that provides a comprehensive solution to its customers, including cashless payment system, at Attended and Unattended points of sale, and which enables clearing a variety of credit cards, debit cards and other prepaid cards, as well as payment using other alternative payment methods, and payment in many different currencies, and also enables remote management and operation of the Unattended points of sale, and operation and management tools at Attended points of sale. The Company estimates that the solutions offered by its competitors are partial, and provide customers with only part of the services enabled by the platform developed by the Company.
  • (C) Ability to provide solutions to a variety of types of points of sale and service, Attended and Unattended, and automatic vending machines with different protocols. For years, the Company has developed its ability to connect the platform it offers its customers to a wide variety of types of machines, including almost all existing types of machines (including old machines still in the market which are no longer manufactured). For details, see Section 1.9.8.1(A) below.
  • (D)Wide international distribution and creation of international coverage, while taking significant market shares in each territory. In the Company's estimation,

significant penetration by competitors into the Company's area of activity shall require them to develop global marketing and distribution capabilities.

  • (E) Comprehensive integration with dozens of different clearing entities throughout the world, by making significant technological investments and creating legalcommercial ties with all the relevant entities in the area of activity.
  • (F) Compliance of activities to many changing regulatory and operational demands, including in order to engage with a long list of clearing entities throughout the world, with the objective of marketing the platform developed by the Company throughout the world.
  • (G)The existence of business connections which enable identification and engagement with leading distributors and vendors and strengthening long-term relationships with distributors and vendors as above.
  • (H)Investment in and retention of an efficient and advanced technological system, which specializes in various technological fields and is characterized by fast and efficient development, while emphasizing fast response, information security at the higher level, and adaptation to technological changes occurring in the world.
  • (I) The Company's proven branding, reputation and performance experience, accumulated over an approx.15-year period, are an important marketing tool for recruiting and retaining customers.

1.9.7. Changes in the network of vendors and raw materials in the area of activity

The Company has vendors in two main areas, vendors of hardware and vendors of connectivity. Over the past few years, the Company has acted to expand the number of vendors that manufacture its hardware products. The Company orders its products which are not made of unique raw materials, customized for Unattended Activity, or as "shelf products" for the Attended Activity. This characteristic generally allows it to replace suppliers at no significant cost. Nonetheless, and as foregoing, the Coronavirus crisis led to a slowdown in production, delays in shipments and the partial closure of domestic and international transportation, while on the other hand global demand for various electronic products has significantly increase, which together with the slowdown in production created a global shortage of components required for producing many electronic products, and an increase in the prices of many components that the Company uses for manufacturing its hardware products. For details regarding the effect of the foregoing global shortage in the availability of components on the Company's gross profit margin from the sale of hardware and the Company's strategy in coping with such shortage and its effect on the Company, see section 1.8.4 above.

With respect to the Company's connectivity vendors, the Company has engaged in agreements with three communications companies, among the leading companies in the market, in order to purchase SIM cards that connect the Company's products to the Internet. Switching a connectivity vendor requires physical access to all of the Company products in which the vendor's SIM cards have been installed and therefore, should the Company be required to switch any of these vendors, it could lead to unplanned costs.

For more details on vendors and raw materials, see Section 1.22 below.

1.9.8. Main barriers to entry and exit in the areas of activity and applicable changes

1.9.8.1. Barriers to entry

In the Company's estimation, there are a number of primary barriers to entry to its area of activity:

  • 1.9.8.1.1. Lack of uniformity of protocols for automatic vending machines
    • Unattended service and vending machines operate according to hundreds of different protocols. In order to provide service for automatic vending machines, there is a need for technical capability to connect to the machine's specific protocol. For years, the Company has been developing the capability to connect the platform it offers its customers to a wide variety of types of machines and protocols using a unique "electronic handshake" between the automatic vending machine and the Company's equipment, which adapts the specific protocol to the Company's equipment. In the Company's estimation, a new player wishing to enter the area would require hundreds of man-years for development, as well as significant financial resources, in order to enable connection of its product to so many types of machines and protocols. As of the date of this Report, the Company's products are compatible with the vast majority of automatic vending machines, including old machines still in the market which are no longer manufactured.
  • 1.9.8.1.2. Variance between Unattended points of sale Automatic products and services of many different kinds are supplied

through Unattended points of sale (particularly automatic vending machines): sale of food and beverage, office services (such as printer and scanner operation), tourist services (such as binocular operation and souvenir purchase at major tourist sites), laundry services, gas pumps and more. This wide variety, combined with the fact that many more areas are expected to undergo automation processes in the future, creates hundreds of types of Unattended points of sale, a characteristic which requires adaption of specific hardware and software to each type of machine, in a manner which requires research and development and the investment of substantial economic resources. In this context, it should be noted that although the Company's customers have machines of many kinds, management of the software and hardware the Company offers its customers within the platform is flexible and enables connection and management of the vast majority of types of machines, and appeals to customers of all sizes, from small customers to giant corporations, characteristics which provide the Company with a central advantage in its field.

1.9.8.1.3. Ability to clear prepaid cards of different types and accept payment in different types of currencies - A central interest of any owner or operator of an Attended or Unattended point of sale, is the point of sale's capability to accept a wide variety of different payment methods, in order to allow almost every consumer to make a purchase at the point using their preferred payment method. The Company has engagements that enable clearing of all primary types of credit and debit cards in the world, as well as additional payment methods, and clearing of transactions in dozens of different currencies, in addition to the capacity to clear payment using different digital wallets. These capabilities enable the Company to create a highly attractive platform for owners and operators of Attended and Unattended points of sale, as they are interested in expanding the range of payment methods with which services or products can be purchased at the points of sale under their ownership, thereby reaching a larger community of consumers and increasing the quantity and frequency of purchases executed by each consumer.

  • 1.9.8.1.4. Compliance with licensing requirements and regulation Provision of clearing services with international distribution requires compliance with numerous different regulatory provisions, under different regulators, as well as receipt of licenses and compliance with different standards, including in the fields of provision of service on a financial asset and provision of credit services, anti-money laundering and privacy. Compliance with regulatory requirements as above requires the investment of substantial financial and management resources.
  • 1.9.8.1.5. Large scale international distribution The ability to capture a significant market share in the area of activity necessitates, by the market's very nature, international presence and marketing, distribution and sale capacities in different areas of the world. The Company is currently active in more than 60 countries in the world, through subsidiaries that distribute the Company's products in approx. 10 countries and through engagements with approximately 40 distributors of Company products throughout the world. In addition, the Company has over 950 OEM connections (as defined in Section 1.14.4 below), under which manufacturers of machines and different products in the area of Attended points of sale incorporate the Company's products as components in the products they manufacture, whereby they sell their products after the Company's products have already been incorporated in them. These agreements build an extensive international infrastructure of business connections for the Company, and support the Company's ability to expand its activity, both in areas where it is already active, as well as in additional new target areas.

1.9.8.2. Barriers to exit

The Company estimates that there are no significant barriers to exit from its area of activity, except the fact that the Company has obligations towards large customers (customers with several hundred or thousands of automatic vending machines), which hold approx. 25% of the automatic vending machines that receive services from the Company, to provide technical support for three years, at most, from the time of the initial engagement.

1.9.9. Alternatives to products in the Company's areas of activity and applicable changes

One of the Company's main advantages is the fact that the Company's products constitute an end-to-end platform for owners of Attended and Unattended points of sale. That is to say, the service provided by the Company is a clearing service, a solution that enables the owner or operator of the point of sale to accept different cashless payment methods, as well as a service that enables management and tracking of different aspects of the point of sale such as inventory, sales and regularity, by connecting the machine to the cellular network and the internet. There are indeed alternatives to specific services the Company supplies, such as connection of automatic vending machines to the internet or ability to accept cashless payment, but the Company estimates that, as of the publication date of this Report, there is no alternative product which supplies all the aforementioned services and characteristics, through a single unified platform which supplies the operator of the point of sale with a complete solution from end to end.

1.9.10. The structure of competition in the area of activity and applicable changes

For details concerning the structure of competition in the area of activity, see Section 1.16 below.

1.10. Products and Services

1.10.1. General

The Company develops, produces, and markets a platform that provides an end-toend solution to its customers, which allows cashless payments and clearing of such payments at Attended and Unattended points of sale and points of service (automatic vending machines in particular), managing and operating points of sale and points of service, including remote management, by the business owner or the point of sale operator, and the platform provides its customers with services for retaining consumers and increasing activity.

In this framework, the Company develops, markets, and manufactures software and hardware products and services that offer the Company's customers – operators of Attended and Unattended points of sale and points of service, the ability to accept and clear cashless payments, and handle operation and management aspects at the point of sale itself (for Attended points of sale) or remotely (for Unattended points of sale), using IoT (Internet of Things) communication. Such platform serves small customers (with few points of sale) and major customers (major companies with hundreds and thousands of points of sale).

In general, the products developed by the Company are comprised of two primary components: (a) the "brain" that communicates with the Attended and Unattended point of sale where it is installed, with the card reader and with the Company's servers; and (b) the card reader, that enables multichannel clearing services and supports more than 80 different payment methods. Among others, the card reader enables payments using the EMV security standard, credit cards, and other payment platforms, including mobile phones through NFC (near-field communication). The card reader also helps consumers purchase products using an audiovisual interface and clears payment in the local currency of the country where the purchase is made in.

For more information on the security standards the Group uses with payment system management according to see Section 1.28.3 below.

The Company provides customers with all necessary components for installing the Company's products at Attended and Unattended points of sale, including software, hardware and connection to the payment systems.

The Company's products are suitable for a wide variety of businesses, including Unattended points of sale, such as laundromats, car washes, office cafeterias, children's playgrounds, public bathrooms, tourism services, machines for selling non-prescription drugs, office services, gas stations, and many other automated systems in businesses that wish to introduce cashless payments, and at Attended points of sale in all areas of retail such as restaurants, bars, fashion shops, retail shops, and all types of businesses that wish to introduce cashless payment services and management and operational capabilities at their business.

The Company's products have easily identifiable branding and a custom-made design, developed to help consumers understand that the point of sale features cashless payment.

Furthermore, as of the date of this Report, the Company is working to extend the variety of uses and product applications and of Company technologies. For more information, see Section 0 below.

1.10.2. Services

1.10.2.1. Accepting cashless payments

The Company's products enable cashless payments at various types of Attended and Unattended points of sale. With the Company's products, almost any point of sale can become, without requiring any special adjustment, a point of sale that honors many payment methods, eliminating the need for cash.

The Company created an international payment network with direct connections to over 80 types of payment methods and Clearing Entities (as such term is defined in Section 1.10.2.2 below) that allow its products to accept payment inter alia in over 40 currencies. The Company's platform accepts payments using different types of credit cards, including Diners, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, payment using debit cards, payment using closed-circuit prepaid cards such as Sodexo (in Israel: Cebus) and 10Bis, as well as payment using digital wallets on mobile devices, such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Ali Pay, and Google Pay, thus helping the Company's customers maximize conversion and receipt of payments in different countries. The Company's platform enables accepting payment using apps with NFC capabilities and other local apps.

Cashless payment acceptance service is provided by connecting the point of sale to the Internet, whereby each point of sale on which Group's products are installed is transformed from a product without the ability to connect to the Internet into an online product that can transmit and receive information. The Company provides its service using the Company's products worldwide.

1.10.2.2. Clearing services

Within the framework of this service, the Company allows clearing of transactions performed at Unattended points of sale where the Company's products are installed. For such purpose, the Company entered into clearing agreements with different entities holding clearing permits, which connect between the Company and the credit companies, which clear the payments of consumers who purchase products without using cash at points of sale where Company devices are installed ("Clearing Entities").

The Group engages with Clearing Entities in different jurisdictions for varying periods, whereby these entities provide geographic coverage for all countries in which the Company provides clearing services. The Group provides clearing services to customers in the primary markets in terms of the Company's activity volume and revenues (all European states in which the Company operates (including the UK), Australia, the US, Israel, Mexico, and Canada). However, some of the Company's customers do not receive clearing services through the Company but rather through independent engagement with clearing services providers. In this case too, clearing is performed on the infrastructure provided by the Company's products.

It is noted that the clearing process varies slightly between different countries in which the Company provides clearing services, according to applicable regulation in each territory.

The primary consideration paid by the Company for clearing services is fees to the Clearing Entities. In addition, the fact that the Company connects a large number of clearing entities allows it to offer its customers attractive clearing fees.

The clearing agreements with the Clearing Entities allow the Group to communicate with the largest credit card companies in the world, including Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, American Express, and Diners (the "Card Issuer"). These agreements allow the Company's products to accept payments using the relevant payment methods, thus increasing the number of transactions made on vending machines owned by the Company's customers.

Under the clearing agreements, the Group has taken steps towards the Clearing Entities to comply with standards of data protection defined by the credit companies, and to use robust data protection and online payment protocols and technologies. Moreover, the Company is fully responsible for said customers, and bears all risks related to such customers, including performing know your customer procedures ("KYC") in accordance with local regulation, bearing the cost of chargebacks and fines, and any other charge imposed on it by the credit companies.

For purposes of performing KYC procedures, the Group entered into an agreement for receiving KYC services with MVSI Limited, a company that is incorporated under UK law ("MVSI"). Under the agreement, MVSI provides the Group with background and information checks, KYC services, credit database services and identity management, per the Company's request.

It is noted that at this stage, the Company does not offer clearing services as part of the services it provides in the framework of its Attended Activity.

To illustrate, this is what the clearing process of a standard transaction in one of the Company's products looks like, from the beginning of the acquisition activity by the consumer until the product is received:

  • A consumer pays through swiping a credit card in one of the Company's products that are installed on a machine whose wares it is interested in buying.
  • A payment request is transferred from the Company's product to the Company's servers.
  • The Company's servers transfer the payment request to a Clearing Entity (according to the territory where the transaction is conducted).
  • The Clearing Entity transfers the payment request to the Card Issuer.
  • The Card Issuer processes and confirms the payment request.
  • The Card Issuer transfers the payment request confirmation to the Clearing Entity.
  • The Clearing Entity transfers payment request confirmation to the Company's servers.
  • The Company's servers transfer the payment request confirmation to the Company's product.
  • The Company's product confirms the purchase and the machine provides the requested wares to the consumer.
  • 1.10.2.3. Remote management and operation services for Unattended points of sale

The Company's products allow remote management of Unattended points of sale by the point of sale operator, using an advanced Telemetry communication app that gathers and exchanges information between the Unattended point of sale and a digital management system called Nayaxvend (the "Digital Management System"), which is displayed on the computer or management app, known as MoMA, and transforms the management and operation of an Unattended point of sale into smart management and operation. Using the Digital Management System, an operator of an automatic vending machine for example can adjust the prices it displays according to varying needs, thus increasing the scope of sales. The Digital Management System also enables machine monitoring 24/7, yearround, thus allowing vigilance and awareness of potential errors that might affect the system's operation and alerts in the event of an error, whereby the machine operator can obtain real-time status reports on the machine's activity.

Within the framework of such service, the Unattended point of sale operator receives back-office services, and detailed reports on its activity, as well as real-time notifications on inventory, cash register services, error alerts, and recommendations for improving activity metrics. In addition, using the service, the Unattended point of sale operator can control the settings of the machine remotely, thus significantly reducing the need to rely on technical support and ongoing maintenance services. In addition, the management system is characterized by high software capabilities that enable it to easily interface with third parties (API), and thus increase the interactions and cooperation of the platform with third parties.

The Digital Management System interfaces with vending machines that operate using different types of protocols, such as CCI, JVMA, MDB, and with machines that have no protocols at all. This, when it is burned onto the Company's products installed on the Unattended point of sale, and interfaces with the Company's servers for regular software updates and third-party communication, such as communication with the clearing companies.

1.10.2.4. Management and operation services for Attended points of sale

Within the framework of the Attended Activity, the Company offers a platform to manage and operate Attended points of sale.

The platform combines the software and hardware developed by the Company, which is based on SAP Business One, allowing the customer to convert its Attended point of sale into a point of sale that offers business management and operation tools using a wide variety of options for payment clearing, account management, business promotion, logistic management, procedure setting, authorizations, and employee management, from the business level to the shift and individual employee levels.

The services provided for Attended points of sale as part of the Attended Activity are provided using a range of unique products for different businesses such as Smart POS, Mobile Smart POS, Self-Checkout, Self-Order, Order at the Table, and more.

The wide variety of products and services the Group offers to customers as part of its Attended Activity is relevant to almost every type of business that sells products while engaging with customers, such as restaurants, bars, apparel shops, supermarkets, office-supply shops, convenience stores, homeware stores, and so on, thus increasing the Company's potential target market for this activity. Such use of the Company's products allows customers to reach the full potential embodied in the business, cut costs and increase revenues, all using user-friendly interfaces.

The platform offered by the Company under this service incorporates the services and capabilities formerly provided to business owners by using different products, from different companies, which naturally did not synchronize with each other. Using this platform, the customer can manage various aspects of its business by itself with great efficiency, using a single device and interacting with only one entity.

1.10.2.5. Remote management of multiple vending machines

The Company offers an information systems solution provided by Synectic Software Solutions Inc., a Subsidiary of the Company that operates under the brand name VendSys ("VendSys"), which allows operators of multiple automatic vending machines to collect and concentrate data on all their machines. This feature enables continuous monitoring and effective management that integrates all clearing, inventory, and accounting data for all of the machines of such operator. The VendSyssolution is especially suitable for large-scale operators with many vending machines, that wish to monitor all machines they own, including machines not connected to the Internet. Accordingly, the service VendSys offers is also suitable for vending automatic machine owners whose machines not equipped with the Company's hardware products, because the VendSys solution can not only connect with vending machines that are connected to the Internet, but also with vending machines that are not connected to the Internet, with data collection performed by a service representative of the customer.

As of the date of this Report, the solution offered by the Company is installed on approx. 517,000 machines in points of sale, while approx. 399,000 Unattended points of sale are equipped with the Company's platform and their operators use the Company's remote operation and management service, while the operators of the remaining Unattended points of sale (approx. 111,000 automatic vending machines) only use the remote operation and control services provided by VendSys, without purchasing the Company's hardware. To complete the picture it should be noted that the Company has a further approximately 8,000 connected endpoints as part of the Attended Activity.

1.10.2.6. Consumer retention services, business promotion, and increasing activity

The Company's products allow the Company's customers to retain consumers and even increase activity opposite them (loyalty suite), using features that encourage consumers to purchase from them again. For example, the digital wallet app marketed by the Company and installed on the consumer's mobile phone which enables the consumer to pay using the mobile phone (see Section 1.10.4.2 below). In addition, various characteristics of the platform allow the Company's customers to have an ongoing relationship with the consumer, thus enabling them to promote their business to the consumer using campaigns, special offers, credits for repurchases discounts, gifts and promotions to users at their point of sale, thus the consumer gains the potential to become a repeat customer as opposed to a one-time, casual customer. The Company's products also allow customers to manage multiple simultaneous marketing campaigns.

1.10.4. Other products and services

1.10.4.1. Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations

The Company has developed an electric vehicle charging station, which allows the charging station operator convenient and efficient remote monitoring and management of the electric vehicle charging station. The charging station is based on an AC charger, and it features a cloud-based management system and a built-in telemetry system that provides operators state-of-the-art efficient energy management, data analysis, and reporting features. The station is equipped with one of the Company's products that allows cashless payment in an open environment (credit cards and Debit, digital wallets, or QR scans) or in a closed environment (prepaid cards). The management system allows the consumer and the operator many advanced features that expand on the management possibilities that the Company offers in other areas, including, inter alia, reserving a charging station in advance and adjusting the charge to the supply capacity of the electric company. Unlike other areas in which the Company operates, in this area the Company also manufactures the charging station used to charge the electric vehicles, in addition to the software and hardware. This activity of the Company joins the global wave of electric vehicles increasingly entering use, while the Company estimates, according to the Jeffries Market Study from June 2021, the number of electric vehicles increased by approximately 45% on average per annum around the world, since 2018 and until 2021, while the trend in the next five years is expected to be approximately 37% annual increase. This activity of the Company has been performed since the beginning of Q2 of 2021 by EV Meter Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company that was incorporated in and operates from Israel, while as of the date of the Report, the service is offered in the UK, Israel, Sweden, Italy and Spain. Within the framework of the service, the operator receives a charging pole installed with the Company's hardware that enables paying and clearing, and also receives management software that features information management and electricity supply monitoring.

The Company's estimates with respect to the foregoing constitute forward looking information as defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, since it is influenced by an abundance of factors that are not under the Company's control. All or part of these estimates may not materialize or may materialize differently than expected, following changes to the economic situation in the global market, and additional factors that are not under the Company's control and for which there is no certainty with respect to the manner and date that they materialize.

1.10.4.2. Monyx Wallet

A digital wallet app installed on the consumer's mobile phone that enables cashless payments using only the mobile phone (the "Digital Wallet"), at Attended and Unattended points of sale where the Company's platform is installed. This app enables preloading a budget into the Digital Wallet in advance by individuals or companies for their employees, to use at Attended and Unattended points of sale where the Company's products are installed. Another feature this product offers is that once the app is installed on the consumer's mobile phone, the operator of the point of sale where the Company's platform is installed can maintain an ongoing relationship with the consumer, which enables the operator to promote its business through campaigns, benefits at the point of sale to app users, and so on, meaning the consumer has the potential to become a repeat customer, and not merely a casual one-time customer. The Company also occasionally offers bonuses to app users such as cashback on using the app and a bonus on charging the Digital Wallet.

1.11. Segmentation of revenues and products profitability

1.11.1. General

The Company's central revenue model rests on three pillars:

  • (a) One-time hardware payment for selling the Company's end units.
  • (b) A fixed monthly usage fee derived from the Company's services.
  • (c) In the Unattended Activity only Charging a clearing fee for any transaction made at the point of sale and cleared using the Company's platform. There were 795 million transactions cleared using the Company's products in 2021, averaging approx. USD 1.8 per transaction.

In 2021, approx. 60% of the Company's revenues (compared to 55% in 2020) came from the monthly usage fee and clearing fees (hereinafter: "Recurring Revenues"), and approx. 40% of the Company's revenues (compared to approximately 45% in 2020) came from payments for sale of the Company's enduser units. The strategic importance of the sale of the Company's s end-user units to its customers, is that the sale of the end positions in fact creates a basis for increasing the Company's Recurring Revenues, and thus generates a powerful business model.

It is noted that the Group provides its customers with clearing services in the main markets in terms of the Company's activity volume and revenues, which include all European states in which the Company operates (including the UK), Australia, the US, Israel, Mexico, and Canada. However, some of the Company's customers do not receive clearing services through the Company. Also, at this stage the Company does not offer clearing services among the services it provides in the framework of the Company's Attended Activity. It is noted that the Company's

customers that do not have a clearing services agreement with the Company engage independently with clearing service providers, and in this case too, clearing is generally performed on the infrastructure provided by the Company's products.

1.11.2. Below is data on revenues and their rate out of the total revenues of the Company, of revenues deriving from each group of similar products or services, which account or accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total revenues (consolidated) in 2020 and 2021:

1.12. New Products

1.12.1. General

The Company is constantly working on developing new products and integrating new technologies, in order to expand the selection of products and services offered by the Company to new and existing customers. The Company is also continuously developing the servers that host its services.

Below is a description of new products being developed by the Company.

1.12.2. Nayax Transit

The Company is developing a cloud-based payment management platform for public transport. The service that the Company provides through this platform simplifies the payment system for the Company's customers and the passengers, and is based on algorithms the Company has developed which can optimize payment for each specific passenger, by weighing the passenger's number of trips and the payments and suggesting the product that offers the passenger the most value for money in retrospect, with respect to a periodic interval defined by the Company's customer. This way, passengers connect to the platform by creating a passenger account on the app or by way of signing up on the website of the Company customer and thereafter the passenger enters a payment method (without actually being charged). When boarding the public transport vehicle, customers validate their accounts by scanning a QR code or through a manual update on the app. At the end of each periodic interval defined by the customer, such as a month, the customer retroactively pays the optimal amount according to trips made that month. For example, if the customer had few trips that month, it would pay according to the one time trip fee, and if it traveled frequently that month it would pay the monthly pass rate. In addition, the Company is also developing and selling to its customers in this area the validation terminals for public transport themselves, this product is similar to the Company's products under its Unattended Activity, while a few adjustments were made that are unique to the field of public transportation according to current international market standards. Among the Company's customers whom the Company provides the Nayax Transit platform, is Isracard Ltd., which recently launched the ANYWAY service for public transportation.

1.12.3. Interactive receipts

A new service of the Company that enables sending digital receipts directly to the consumer's mobile phone at the end of each transaction. In addition to the transaction details, these receipts also feature business promotion options such as coupons, and facilitate further interactions between the consumer and the business, thus offering optimal customer retention. In order to establish this service, the Company purchased all the shares of Weezmo Technologies Ltd., a leading company in the field of interactive receipts in Israel and the world. For details on the agreement to purchase shares of Weezmo Technologies Ltd., see Note 6B to the financial statements.

1.12.4. The E-commerce website

At the beginning of 2021 the Company launched an e-commerce website for new and existing customers, to integrate all Company services in one place, first in the US and Canada and the Company intends to later launch the website also in additional countries. The website allows new customers that wish to interact with the Company to define the properties of its Unattended point of sale online and according to its needs. The website shall also allow repeat purchases of all of the Company's products for existing customers,. Thereafter, the website shall allow the OEM (as such term is defined in Section 1.14.4 below), distributors, and consultants in the Unattended area to sell and promote their wares on the Company's website.

The Company's estimates with respect to the launch of the e-commerce website in additional countries constitute forward looking information as defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, and not under the Company's control. It is clarified that there is no certainty that the estimates shall materialize, and they may even materially differ from the foregoing, inter alia due to its dependance on external factors that are not under the Company's, inter alia the factors set forth in the framework of the risk factors in the area of the Company's activity (as set forth in section 1.35 below).

1.12.5. Management of amusement parks

On February 4 ,2021, the Company engaged in a memorandum of understanding for acquiring control of Tigapo Ltd. (hereinafter: "Tigapo"), which develops a smart cloud system for managing amusement parks. In May 2021, the Company purchased Tigapo shares that constitute approximately 33.39% (fully diluted) of the number of shareholders, and in Q3 of 2021, a purchase agreement was executed in the framework of which the Company increased its holding in Tigapo, so that as of the date of this Report, the Company holds Tigapo shares constituting approximately 53.55% of Tigapo's issued share capital (fully diluted). In addition, the Company has options for purchasing the remaining shares of Tigapo. For additional details, see Note 6C to the financial statements.

1.13. Customers

1.13.1. General

As of the date of this Report, the Company has approx. 30,000 customers. The Company's customers are characterized mostly by being diverse and decentralized, both in terms of their type of activity and the geographical distribution and in terms of each customer's volume of activity vis-à-vis the Company. Hence, the Company is not dependent on any particular customer and losing any one of its customers shall not have a material effect on the Company's area of activity. To illustrate, as of 2021, the Company's three largest customers only constitute approx. 5% of the Company's Recurring Revenues, and its 50 largest customers only constitute approx. 26% of such revenues.

The Company has an effective customers growth rate that is proven by three central pieces of data:

Number of customers – the number of the Company's customers in a given year.

  • 1.13.1.1. The decrease in the revenue churn rate the decrease in revenues as a result of customers who left the Company in the 12 months preceding such date.
  • 1.13.1.2. The net revenue retention rate of returning customers from Recurring Revenues – the percentage of revenues from returning customers in a given year, which includes the increase in revenues and rate of losses from the customer churn rate.

The data of the Company's customers attest to the Company's significant growth in recent years and to its future growth potential, as well as to the high confidence that the Company's customers place in the Company itself.

The Company's estimate with respect to its future growth potential, as described above, constitutes forward-looking information, as defined in the Securities Law, the materialization of which is uncertain and is not under the Company's control. It is clarified that there is no certainty that the estimate shall materialize and it may even materially differ from the foregoing, inter alia, due to its dependance on external factors that are not under the Company's control, inter alia the factors set forth in the framework of the risk factors in the Company's area of activity (as set forth in section 1.35 above).

However, the Group has three main types of customers:

1.13.1.3. Unattended point of sale owners and operators

The Company's main customers are customers that operate Unattended points of sale, especially automated vending machines. Approx. 75% of the Unattended points of sale for which the Company provides services, are operated by small customers, each operating few points of sale. Approx. 25% of the Unattended points of sale for which the Company provides service, are operated by customers that operate several hundreds to several thousands of such points of sale. The Company's major customers include Primo Water Corporation, a US company that sells drinking water to households and businesses, including at Unattended points of sale, which has installed the Company's products in more than 15,000 of its Unattended points of sale. Another customer of the Company is Cafe+Co, an Austrian company with Unattended points of sale that sell food, beverages, and coffee all over Europe, which has installed the Company's products in over 20,000 of its Unattended points of sale.

1.13.1.4. Attended point of sale owners and operators

As part of the Company's Attended Activity, the Company has customers in Israel that own thousands of Attended points of sale, such as clothing shops, restaurants, various types of recreational retail stores, and so on. Many of the Company's customers in this category own a single point of sale, and some of them are major companies with hundreds of Attended points of sale that use the Company's services in all their points of sale.

1.13.1.5. Resellers, distributors and OEMs

Some of the Company's customers are resellers and distributors, to which the Company sells its end-user units, and they in turn sell them to customers that operate Unattended points of sale (in particular, automated vending machines). In addition, the Company has more than 300 OEM engagements (as such term is defined below in Section 1.14.4), in the framework of which manufacturers of various machines and products in the area of Unattended points of sale integrate the Company's products as components in the products they manufacture, meaning they sell their products that already feature the Company's products.

1.14. Marketing and Distribution

1.14.1. General

The Company sells its products directly, through subsidiaries located in different countries, and through resellers and distributors. The Company also has OEM engagements, under which various machine and product manufacturers integrate the Company's products as components of the products they manufacture and sell. In addition, the Company established an e-commerce website, where new and existing customers of the Company can purchase the Company's products independently, as set forth in Section 1.12.4 above, and it should be noted that as of the date of this Report, the website is only active in the US and Canada. Similarly, the Company operates advertising channels, SEOs, and audience-targeted marketing campaigns for small and medium businesses. The Company is active inter alia on social media while engaging with influencers, it conducts webinars and events, and it distributes promotional materials and articles to the target audience. The Company constantly tracks all the interactions on all of its advertising channels. In addition, the Company knows to separately examine its costs for every advertising channel (advertising of Facebook, email campaigns, Google campaigns, etc.) vis-à-vis actual revenue from that advertising channel, and thus reach high returns on investment for the Company's various advertising activity.

One of the Company's central advantages are the fast processes of marketing and sales for small businesses. The nature of this type of businesses allows the Company to rapidly "come full circle" vis-à-vis these customers, and for this purpose the Company developed an automatic sales protocol for small business, which as of the date of this Report is active in the European and Australian markets, and in the future shall also enter the markets of Israel and the US. Thus, a potential customer with a small business who expresses interest in purchasing the Company's products it was exposed to through various adverts, shall receive a personal online contract and an online KYC process shall be performed thereon, which is rapidly approved, sometimes within only 24 hours. Already upon the approval of the contract and KYC, the new customer's orders and profile are automatically placed on all the Company's databases. This flash procedure allows the Company to efficiently attract customers which in turn leads to the Company's effective growth.

For purpose of marketing and distributing its products, the Company determined eight key markets: Australia, the US, UK, Germany, Japan, Israel, China and Canada. In these markets the Group distributes its products through subsidiaries that it established in those countries.

In other operating territories and in countries in which the Company does not have a subsidiary, the Company distributes its products through engagements with approximately 40 distributors, including Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Mexico, Poland, France, Sweden, and Switzerland. The Company also distributes its products through engagements with resellers and OEMs.

In addition, the Company has a supervised pricing strategy that weighs the geographical area of the engagements, the requested product type, and the scope of the purchase. Thus, the Company offers a final sale price which allows maintaining optimal profit margins in its various areas of activity.

It is further noted that in light of the Company's extensive geographic spread, the Company is not dependent on any single reseller, distributor, or OEM.

1.14.2. Resellers

Group companies, including the Company itself, have engaged under marketing agreements with resellers of the Company's products ("Resellers"), while each Reseller purchases the Company's products and sells them to the customers. The Reseller sells the products, while the duty to pay the consideration for the device to the Company is established when it receives the product from the Company or from the relevant subsidiary. Resellers only sell the Company's products and do not provide the customers with support services. Support services are provided to endcustomers by the Company. The Reseller agreements are not exclusive, meaning there might be more than one Reseller in a particular country.

1.14.3. Distributors

The Company is engaged in distribution agreements with approximately 44 distributors of its products and it grants licenses for distributing the Company's products in specific, defined territories, whereby the distributor purchases products from the Company and sells them to customers in its defined territory. With this method of distribution, the distributor purchases the Company's products from the Company and sells them on. Unlike Resellers, distributors provide basic support to end-customers, defined as Level 1 Support in the local language, and the Company provides end-customers support on more complex issues. It is noted that with respect to some of the distributors, there are exclusivity stipulations in the engagement agreement with them, so that those distributors shall be the only distributors on that defined territory.

1.14.4. OEM

The Company has engagements with over 950 original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"). In these engagements, the Company sells its products as components to machine and product manufacturers in the Unattended point of sale area. In the manufacturing process, the OEM integrates the Company's products so that they become built-in or bundled in the product it manufactures. For example, the Company has agreements with an OEM that manufactures coffee machines, the Company sells its products to that OEM, and it integrates the Company's products in the coffee machine. Then, the OEM sells the machine to its customers while the Company's products are attached to it. This type of engagement enables effective distribution that increases the Company's potential client base, as customers that purchase products from an OEM could engage with the Company in the future to receive services from the Company, thus becoming customers of the Company.

1.15. Orders backlog

Generally, the Company does not act on the basis of a pre-determined orders backlog, but rather on the basis of orders that are received from time to time by its customers (just in time). With respect to certain large customers, the Company may from time to time receive an orders prognosis, however this prognosis does not bind the customers.

1.16. Competition

Competition in the Company's area of activity is measured in two axes, the first being global distribution – the number of countries where similar companies operate in the sector. The second is the quality level of the solution offered by similar companies in the area of activity. This axis moves from a solution that provides a single service, for example, a connection to the Internet, to a comprehensive solution that offers multiple services, such as a connection to the Internet, Telemetry capability, clearing services, and operation and management services, like the Company does.

According to the Company's estimation, with respect to both competition axes - the area of activity is characterized by a low level of competition. As said, it is possible that in a certain territory, the area of activity would be highly competitive in terms of the quality level of the solution offered by competing companies, however in most instances such companies are competitors only in that territory, and do not compete with the Company in the rest of the world. Alternatively, it is possible that a different company would compete with global distribution and provide services in many countries around the world, however in most instances the solution offered by such companies is limited, and does not offer a comprehensive solution like the Company does.

Therefore, according to the estimation of the Company, its primary competitor in North America is Cantaloupe, Inc. ("Cantaloupe") (formerly USAT). Nevertheless, unlike the Company, Cantaloupe does not have broad global distribution and does not provide a comprehensive solution to its customers. The Company has other competitors, such as the French company Ingenico. That company has a comparatively wide distribution, especially in Europe, however the service it offers is limited compared with the solution offered by the Company. For example, unlike the Company, Ingenico does not offer telemetry services, which enable remote monitoring and management of automated vending machines. Also, while it does provide clearing services, it cannot process credit clearing by itself, on behalf of the business, like the Company can. More so, according to the Company's estimation, the work processes offered by Ingenico to its customers are not as comprehensive as the Company offers, since the Company offers a service along the entire value chain of the customer, so it does not need to engage with other companies down the chain that provide different services.

Other Company competitors are CPI from the US and OTI from Israel. Both companies have a relatively wide global distribution, but the solution they offer is partial compared with the solution offered by the Company, especially in field of telemetry, customer management, and business management and monitoring. On January 19, 2022, the Company engaged in a binding memorandum of understanding with On Track Innovations Ltd. ("Memorandum of Understanding" and "OTI", respectively), pursuant to which the Company and OTI shall engage in two-stage deal, whereby at the first stage, the Company would provide OTI with a loan, and thereafter the Company would purchase 100% of OTI's shares by way of a reverse triangular merger or in a different way to be agreed between the parties. As of this date, the parties engaged in a loan agreement, but they have not yet engaged in an agreement for purchasing OTI shares pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding. For more information, see the Company's immediate reports as of 20 January, 2022 (reference no: 2022-01-008883) and January 30, 2022 (reference no: 2022-01-011415) and see Note 26 to the Financial Statements. It is clarified that as of the date of this Report, there is no complete certainty that the Company and OTI shall engage in a merger agreement or that should they engage therein the conditions precedent for its completion would be met.

The Company contends with competition in its area of activity by providing its customers, the operators of Attended and Unattended points of sale, a full and comprehensive solution that enables them to add to the points of sale or service they operate the option to receive cashless payments, clearing services, and remote operation and management services. The Company also has extensive experience and knowledge in its area of activity, in light of being in the field for many years. The Company also has a large research and development team that allows it to continue and develop its products' software and adapt it to technological developments and regulatory changes in its area of activity. Furthermore, the very fact that the Company owns all critical components of the products and services that it markets, provides it major advantages in all aspects relating to flexibility in integrating the products with its customers and providing effective technical support and customer service. This is in addition to the fact that the Company's products can work with a wide range of machines and protocols, the wide global distribution of the Company's products, and the wide variety of credit cards, payments and currencies supported by the Company's products. The Company also emphasizes, inter alia, fostering a relationship with its customers, based on availability, consulting, and flexibility, fast product sales and simple integration of the Company's products, and post-sale service and support. The Company focuses on customer satisfaction, and consequently, the Company has a proven track record of customer retention and growth, and a low churn rate.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company estimates that its market share in the global market is less than 10% of the total market. However, the Company estimates that it has a far larger market share than its competitors in Europe.

1.17. Seasonality

Considering the Company's product type, the variety of products that it sells to its customers, both at Attended points of sale and at Unattended points of sale, and in light of its widely distributed global activity, the Company's activity is not affected by seasonality.

1.20.4.2. The license agreement with Isracard

On July 28, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Isracard Ltd. ("Isracard") for the provision of support, operational, development, and adjustment services by the Company for the Isracard systems, subject to Isracard winning a tender to operate a remote service and an application for paying fares and validation on public transportation, as set forth in Section 1.12.2 above.

1.22. Raw Materials and Vendors

1.22.1. General

In the Attended Activity, the Company purchases its products from a vendor, based on occasional orders. In terms of hardware, the products purchased by the Company are standard shelf products that do not require changes or modification on the Company's part, except for external branding changes made to order. The software used in the Attended Activity products is an Android operating system that provides the Company with flexibility, as the Company integrates the software it develops into the system by itself. While the Company primarily conducts itself opposite a single vendor, because the products it orders are standard shelf products sold by many dozens of other vendors, the Company has the ability to change vendors as necessary, without incurring substantial costs.

For the Unattended Activity, the Company itself develops the hardware products it sells to its customers and the software installed on its products. Manufacture of the Company's hardware is carried out through the Company's subcontractors. The Company engages with two primary Israeli subcontractors that supply the hardware as a finished product and are responsible for manufacturing and assembling the products, and for purchasing all of the components necessary for manufacturing and operating the hardware, except for three components: monitors, cellular modems, and SIM cards that provide connectivity of the Company's products to the Internet, which the Company purchases independently and provides them to the hardware vendors, for them to integrate them in the hardware they sell to the Company as a finished product.

The subcontractors that supply the Company with hardware, assemble and test the finished product (the device) before supplying it to the Company. The Company does not have written agreements with the two subcontractors that supply it with hardware, and it conducts itself opposite them based on occasional orders, while order volumes are determined according to the Company's needs, based on orders it receives from the Company's customers. The Company is not dependent on these subcontractors, as it develops the products by itself, which allows it to replace the subcontractors for manufacturing hardware without substantial costs.

The Company also has agreements with other third parties that provided it with clearing services and KYC services.

Notwithstanding the fact that most of the components necessary for manufacturing the Company's products are manufactured by a large number of manufacturers, certain key components are acquired from exclusive or few suppliers. In addition, the Company deals with many additional companies in the areas of computing, telephony and other electronic products, with the general components. Therefore, the Company is exposed to risks of shortages, price increases, changes to tariffs and delays in the supply of the key components and general components, which may adversely affect the Company's financial results. The global spread of the Coronavirus caused uncertainty in the global economy and staggering economic damage following the closure of many businesses, a slowdown in production, delays in shipping and a partial closure of domestic and international transportation, while conversely global demand for various electronic products significantly increased, which together with the slowdown in production, created a global shortage of the components required for producing many electronic products. For details about the effect of the components shortage on the Company's operational results and about the Company coping with such shortage, see section 1.8.4 above and section 1.3 in the Board of Directors Report.

1.22.2. Monitors

The Company buys the monitors installed in its products from two vendors, an Israeli vendor and a Chinese vendor, with which the Company does not have a written agreement, but rather, it works opposite them based on occasional orders.

The Company purchases the SIM cards that enable connectivity of the Company's products to the Internet from three communications vendors: Telit Communications PLC, AT&T Inc. and Cello Partnership (known as Verizon wireless) (the "Communication Vendors").

The Company pays the Communication Vendors a monthly fee based on usage or a fee based on full operational capacity, at the Company's choice, for the products and services the Communication Vendors provide to the Company, according to the type of product or service the Company purchases. The agreements are made for different periods depending on the Company's request. The Company estimates that it is somewhat dependent on the Communication Vendors, because replacing the SIM cards in the Company's devices requires physical access to each device, which might impose costs on the Company.

1.22.4. Cellular modems

The Company purchases the cellular modems it needs to assemble in its products and which constitute an additional component enabling connectivity if the Company to the Internet, from two vendors.

The Group has taken steps to mitigate its risks in respect of data transfers by retaining all personal data belonging to EU data subjects within the EU and Israel (pursuant to the latter's adequacy status). However, as supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, the Group may be required to review and amend such mitigation.

The Group is subject to the supervision of EEA data protection authorities. Fines for certain breaches of the GDPR are significant e.g., up to the greater of 20 million Euros or 4 % of total global annual turnover. In addition to the foregoing, a breach of the GDPR could result in regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease/ change processing of data, enforcement notices, and assessment notices (for a compulsory audit). The Group may also face civil claims including representative actions and other class action type litigation (where individuals have suffered harm), potentially amounting to significant compensation or damages liabilities, as well as associated costs, diversion of internal resources, and reputational harm.

1.28.2.3.1. Through Nayax Europe, the Group submitted an application to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), a financial regulator in the UK that supervises companies that provide various types of financial services, to fall under the temporary permission regime (TPR), and on April 11, 2019, it obtained such permission. This authorization regimen allows companies that previously operated in the UK under the EEA Passporting regimen (that allows member countries of the EEA to do business in any other EEA country with no need for another license from each country) to continue to operate in the UK post-Brexit throughout the temporary permission period, i.e., three years starting from January 1, 2021, without the need for further authorization. At the same time, the Company must act to obtain a license to keep operating in the UK after the temporary permission regime expires, as stated below in Section 1.28.2.3.2.

1.28.2.3.2. Electronic money institution license

As of the date of this Report, the Group, through Nayax Financial Services Ltd. ("Nayax UK"), is working to obtain a license to act as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) from the FCA in the UK. Under the EMI license, the Company would be entitled to provide its customers and end-users in the UK services that combine charging and managing monetary values online, and the monetary value may be used to make purchases, transfer money, or charge money into a prepaid card or a digital wallet. The Company estimates that as a result of the UK leaving the European Union, there is a large number of applications from The Company's estimate with respect to the date the license from the EMI is to be obtained in 2022, as described above, is considered forwardlooking information, as defined in the Securities Law, the materialization of which is uncertain and is not under the Company's control. It is clarified that there is no certainty that the estimate shall materialize, and it may even materially differ from the foregoing, inter alia due to its dependance on external factors that are not under the Company's control.

  • 1.28.2.3.3. The following limitations apply and shall apply (as applicable) to (direct or indirect) holders of Nayax UK under the EMI license in the UK:
    • (a) Restrictions related to obtaining the license: As part of the application for an EMI license in the UK, anyone that has Qualifying Holdings (as such term is defined below) in the applicant must complete and submit EMD Qualifying Holdings Forms to the regulator, according to the FCA's requirements.
    • (b) Restrictions under the license (that shall apply after it is granted): Anyone that wishes to acquire a Qualifying Holding in Nayax UK would need to obtain the FCA's prior permission. Furthermore, anyone wishing to acquire a direct or indirect holding of 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, or 50% or more of the share capital or voting rights in Nayax UK or in its parent company, may be required to obtain the FCA's prior approval.

A-96

For the purpose of this section 1.28.2.3.3, a "Qualifying Holdings Holder" or "Qualifying Holding" – anyone directly or indirectly holding 10% or more of the share capital or voting rights in Nayax UK, or in its parent company, or any (direct or indirect) holdings in Nayax UK or in its parent company that grants the holder significant influence over the management of Nayax UK. Nayax UK also must report to the FCA of changes in the holdings therein.

(c) In light of the fact that the above-described restrictions also apply with respect to indirectly purchasing shares of Nayax UK, they in practice also apply with respect to purchasing shares of the Company itself.

1.28.2.3.4. Data Protection Act 2018

Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom ("UK") from the European Union, the GDPR has been retained in UK law, as the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR"). The UK's data protection regime primarily consists of the UK GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (the "UK DP Laws"). Though the EU and UK data privacy regimes broadly mirror each other, the relationship between certain aspects of both frameworks remain unclear – these divergences are likely to increase over time as the UK DP Laws continue to develop independently.

The UK GDPR applies directly to the activities of Nayax UK Ltd and indirectly to the Group's non-UK entities to the extent that they process personal data collected from UK data subjects through the offering of goods and services or monitoring of data subjects in the UK. The Group has taken significant steps to ensure material compliance with the UK GDPR.

In light of the current synergies between the UK DP Laws and GDPR and the similarity in possible fines (the UK GDPR mirrors the fines under the GDPR, i.e. fines up to the greater of £17.5 million or 4% of global annual turnover for certain breaches), the abovementioned risk factors are also applicable here.

1.28.2.4. The US and Australia

1.28.2.4.1. General

The Company's activity in the US and Australia relies on the clearing licenses held by financial entities with whom it has agreements. In these countries, the Company is a merchant of record that has many secondary customers, and so, on this basis the Company determined that the Group is not required to obtain any license to manage its businesses in these countries.

1.28.2.4.2. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

On January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act went into effect. The CCPA protects the personal information of California Consumers and governs a businesses' collection, use, and sale of that personal information. The CCPA also establishes rules and restrictions on the use and disclosure of personal information by Service Providers, who receive and process personal information on behalf of a business.

The CCPA applies directly to the activities of the Group's entities in the United States, to the extent that such entities act as Service Providers to businesses that collect and disclose the personal information of California Consumers. The Group generally acts as a Service Provider to businesses that collect or disclose the personal information of California Consumers.

The CCPA also grants consumers certain rights, including the right to request that a business not sell their personal information, to obtain a copy of their information, or to order that a business delete their personal information. As a Service Provider, the Group is not directly subject to provide these rights to California consumers.

1.28.2.5. Asia

The Company estimates that it complies with protection of privacy requirements in different Asian countries, as it complies with the CCPA and the GDPR, as described above, which are stricter than any territorial regulation on protection of privacy in different Asian countries. It is noted that the Company's activity in Asian countries does not include clearing by the Company, and on this basis the Company has determined that the Group is not subject to any territorial regulation on providing credit services, providing financial asset services, providing payment services, anti-money laundering regulations, and so on.

1.28.2.6. Anti-corruption laws

The Group is subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and other similar laws, including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the "FCPA"), the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, the Israeli Penal Law, 1977, the Israeli Prohibition on Money Laundering Law–2000, and other similar laws in countries in which the Group operates or in countries where third parties are acting on their behalf. These and similar laws prohibit companies and their officers, directors, employees, business partners and agents, including other third parties acting on their behalf, from offering, giving, promising, or providing anything of value to a foreign official for the purposes of influencing his official decisions in any way in order to obtain

A-99

A-100

favorable treatment from such foreign official. The FCPA further requires the corporations to keep and maintain books and records that accurately reflect a corporation's transactions, and to maintain a system of internal accounting controls. The UK Bribery Act 2010 also prohibits "commercial bribery" not involving any foreign officials, and requires companies to implement adequate procedures to prevent bribery.

1.28.3. Commercial standardization

The Company complies with the following standards:

1.28.3.1. EMV Standard

An international security standard that relies on smarter, safer clearing technologies. Smart cards are identified in terminals using a smart chip, and the charge is performed by typing in the PIN (Chip&PIN) or without the PIN (Contactless Chip). The use of smart cards reduces the potential for fraud in the credit card industry because the chip enables encoding each transaction individually, as opposed to the fixed encoding when the charge is made using the magnetic card.

1.28.3.2. The PCI–DSS Standard

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This standard is designed to ensure protection of credit card data wherever they are stored, transferred, or processed. The standard includes various requirements to implement data protection controls, to implement protection in organizations that handle credit card information using means such as a cash register, digital wallets, websites, vending machines, and automatic teller machines.

1.28.3.3. Credit Card Schemes

The credit card scheme allows cardholders to make payments through third parties that are not the issuer. To that end, the scheme defines the transaction performance rules for its participants (in particular, technological and business arrangements, settlement of account rules, and a division of liability for damages).

1.28.3.4. 3-D Secure

A data protection protocol intended to connect the monetary authorization process with online verification in online transactions. This protocol was developed by Visa, among others, and it is accepted by MasterCard, JCB, American Express, and Discover.

1.28.3.5. The ISO/IEC 27001 Standard

An international data protection management standard intended to guarantee that organizational data are stored and managed properly. The standard sets requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and constantly improving the data protection management system (ISMS), intended to help organizations make their data assets safer.

1.29. Material agreements

As of the date of this Report, the Company's material agreement is the Financing Agreement as set forth in Section 1.25.4 above.

1.30. Cooperation agreements

On December 10, 2020, Nayax Retail Ltd. ("Nayax Retail"), a subsidiary of the Company, engaged with some of Israel's largest distribution companies, including Bar Marketing and Distribution Holdings Ltd., Diplomat Distributors (1968) Ltd., and Guri A.A.O. Ltd., in a cooperation agreement, by way of a shareholders agreement for establishing a company referred to as Niloos Business Ltd. ("Niloos"). The purpose of the venture is to establish a digital platform that shall allow manufacturers and vendors, including the partners in the venture, to provide goods and services to retailers, including small and remote retailers, who due to their size or geographical location encounter operational issues with respect to supplying their stores with goods, and to provide logistical services in connection with such supply. Nayax Retail holds 12% of Niloos' issued and outstanding share capital. The total expected investment of Nayax Retail shall be pari-passu according to the holdings in Niloos, and in any event it is not material to Nayax Retail or the Company.

1.31. Legal proceedings

For details regarding material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, see comment 25 to the Financial Statements.

1.32. Goals and business strategy

1.32.1. General

In the Company's estimation, the Company is among the only companies in the world that offers its customers a comprehensive solution, end to end, enabling receipt of cashless payments, as well as management and operation, both for Unattended points of sale and service, within its Unattended Activity, and Attended points of sale and service, within its Attended Activity. All of the services and products the Company offers its customers are intended to supply the customer, a business owner, with a single product that consolidates all services needed to operate their business in a tailored manner, thereby constituting a one stop shop for the Company's customers throughout the world.

Throughout its years of activity, the Company has operated according to a vision that Unattended points of sale are expected to constitute a central component of worldwide retail services. The Company's long-term commitment has created a culture advocating the best results for its customers. Accordingly, the Company invests in relationships with its existing customers, and acts to expand its customer base and engage with new customers.

The Company's "Go to Market" strategy is focused on small and medium businesses while efficiently dealing with their unique needs on the one hand, and with large customers and their complex needs on the other hand. Through the Company's digital sales channels, concurrently with the activities of its distributors and marketing professionals, the Company is able to reach a large number of small and medium businesses, which generate a material share of its revenues. The Company views its small and medium customers as a foundation for its growth and for it becoming an international brand, due to its successful experience with this customer sector in the past. In addition, the Company invests resources and efforts in strengthening its capabilities to support large customers which are active in various fields and markets to which the Company grants tailored and unique services, and it intends to recruit additional large customers.

The Company acts continuously to improve its products and services, in order to provide its customers with a greater variety of services and a better user experience, as well as with the aim of initiating growth and prosperity in the Company's activities and improving its results. The Company intends to expand its activities and the number of points of sale and service connected to the solutions it offers, both by increasing sales to existing customers and engaging with new customers. In addition, the Company is examining an option of leasing its products in the future to customers, in addition to selling them.

Since 2019, the Company has also been engaging with customers within its Attended Activity, activities which substantially increase the target audience to which the Company's products and services are directed. The Company intends to continue to establish its Unattended Activity in Israel, as well as to act to expand these activities throughout the world.

In order to expand its activities, the Company has begun operating e-commerce sites, as detailed in Section 1.12.4 above. These sites shall enable the Company to increase its customer recruitment capacity, to appeal to markets that do not necessarily require a physical presence, as well as to supply service and support to its customers at the highest level, while also constituting a multi-channel platform that consolidates all the Company's services in a single place.

The Company estimates that in Latin America and Eastern Europe there are opportunities and market potential to generate substantial sales.

The Company's management intends to continue to act to maintain the Company's positioning as a leading player in its area of activity, and to maintain its unique competitive advantages, inter alia, by acquiring companies with expertise in their fields which can integrate into the Group's activities (such as acquisition of Modularity Technologies Ltd. and UPITec Software Ltd. (now Nayax Retail Ltd.)), all while focusing on technological advancement and providing a comprehensive response for customers.

1.32.2. Financial targets

In order to fulfill its vision, targets, and business strategy as foregoing, the Company sets itself measurable key financial medium to long-term targets, which are based on past experience, rate of development, and the Company's performance.

1.32.2.1. Revenues

Through its organic growth, as well as the growth through merger and acquisition transactions of other companies, the Company

A-104

aims for an annual revenue target of approximately USD 200 million in the medium term. The Company is targeting an increase of approximately 30% in its annual organic growth, which is expected to be driven by growth in the Company's customer base, entering new markets, expanding the platform's abilities, and cultivation of and investment in its go to market strategy, as stated in Section 1.32.1 above.

1.32.2.2. Gross profit

The Company is targeting an increase in its long-term gross profits through an option to lease products, and mainly through an increase in the share of Recurring Revenue from software and services out of the Company's total revenues. The Company is targeting approximately 50% and more gross profit in the long term.

1.32.2.3. EBITDA

Generally, the Company prioritizes revenues and medium-term growth and relies on historical profitability foundations. The Company is targeting an EBITDA margin of approximately 30% in the long term.

1.32.2.4. Capital expenditure

The Company anticipates that its capital expenditure (CAPEX) shall be remain stable and be in a the range of USD 8-1016-18 million per annum, while it continues to invest in the development and innovation of its platform. Such investment is expected to assist support the Company to grow considerably, and thus expected to differentiate itself from its competitors.

The Company's estimates regarding goals and expected business strategy, as well as with respect to the financial targets set forth above, its activities and results, are deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, as it is affected by many factors outside the Company's control, and is impacted, inter alia, by the factors detailed above, and the risk factors in the Company's area of activity (as detailed in Section 1.35 above).

1.33. Projected development in coming year

1.33.1. Expansion of the Unattended Activity

As set forth above, in light of the Company's growth engines, and in light of the fact that the Unattended Activity is the Company's main activity and the central cornerstone for fulfilling its vision, the Company intends to continue developing this activity. The development plan of the Unattended Activity is based on three components: Investment in research and development, increasing revenue from existing customers by connecting Unattended points of sale of existing customers that do not receive services by the Company, and adding customers that are small and medium business owners as new customers of the Company, mainly through focused marketing to this target audience and a designated joining and purchase procedure for this target audience. The development plan for the Unattended Activity was planned based on the Company's key metrics as set forth in Section 1.3.1 above, the growth engines as set forth in Section 1.9.1 above, and the marketing and sale plan for small and medium businesses as set forth in Section 1.14.1 above. Thus, the plan is tailored to the Company's performance up to this point and constitutes a new target that fits into the Company's development graph since its incorporation.

1.33.2. Expansion of Attended Activity

As detailed above, since 2019 the Company is active in Attended Activity and through its platform, enables its customers in this area to transform Attended points of sale into points that provide the customer's business with management and operating tools using a wide variety of payment clearing methods, bookkeeping, business promotion, logistic management, procedure setting, as well as employee authorization and management. As of the date of this Report, the Company's Attended Activity focuses on the Israeli market. The Company intends to continue to establish its Attended Activity in Israel, as well as acting in the forthcoming years to expand its Attended Activity to the global market. For this purpose, the Company has established a designated unit active in Israel which comprises, inter alia, teams for management, marketing, sales and more. The unit is supported by a development group comprised of employees located in Ukraine. The expansion of activity to additional countries in the world will be carried out, inter alia, by marketing to existing customers, as well as using e-commerce sites for: customer

1.33.3. Development in the area of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging

comprehensive solution for all customer needs.

As detailed above, the Company is active, through EV Meter Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, in the field of electric vehicle charging. Within this activity, the Company has developed charging stations for electric vehicles which enable charging by credit card payment based on the technology offered by the Company, as well as information management and monitor of electricity supply. Unlike the few charging stations that currently exist in public areas, most of which are electrical sockets with capability to feed the electric vehicle's battery and charge the vehicle owner for electricity costs, the Company provides a product with added value, by creating a direct communication channel between drivers of electric vehicles and charging station operators, and enabling the operator to manage the charging station remotely. The Company is acting to create a new generation of charging stations suitable for all types of electric vehicles, thereby creating a convenient user experience. For this purpose, the Company has established a designated unit active in Israel, for charging station manufacture and software development.

The Company's estimates regarding projected development in the forthcoming year, its activities and results, are deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, which is uncertain, as it is affected by many factors outside the Company's control, and is impacted, inter alia, by the factors detailed above, and the risk factors in the Company's area of activity (as detailed in Section 1.35 above).

1.34. Financial information about geographical areas

For financial information regarding geographical areas, see comment 5 to the Financial Statements.

1.35. Discussion of risk factors

1.35.1. Macro risks

1.35.1.1. The socio-economic status of the economy and changes in the standards of living and consumption habits, including impact of the Coronavirus

The market in which the Company is active is sensitive, to a certain extent, to changes in household income and the level of global economic activity. A global economic slowdown or recession, and a resultant drop in the standard of living, could lead to a drop in the scope of private consumption, and therefore to reduced use of the points of sale operated by the Company's customers, in a manner which could impact negatively on the Company's revenues from existing customers, and also make it difficult for the Company to recruit new customers or expand activities with existing customers. However, as of the date of this Report, most of the Group's customers are operators of Unattended points of sale and service, particularly automatic vending machines. The products and services sold using most of the automatic vending machines connected to the Company's platform are, in most cases, basic inexpensive consumer products, so naturally, the consumption of this type of product continues, and is not impacted significantly, even during an economic slowdown. Therefore, it would appear that changes in the economic status of the economy will not have a substantial impact on the Company's activities and revenues.

The Coronavirus has led to sharp drops in markets throughout the world and a general slowdown in the world economy. The general slowdown in the world economy has led, and may lead in the future, to a drop in consumption, and therefore it has had, and may have in the future, a negative impact on the Group's activities and results. For more information, see section 1.8.4 above.

1.35.1.2. Regional security in Israel

Regional security in Israel, due to the continuing conflict with the Palestinian Authority and some of Israel's neighboring states, dictate a political reality that could adversely affect the Company's business. Potential harm to the Company, due to this risk, would be reflected primarily by difficulty in exporting and marketing the company's products throughout the world, or in engaging with certain subcontractors, since the Company is an Israeli company based in Israel with Israeli management, such that it is subject to the possible impact of boycotts by entities associated with BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions).

1.35.1.3. Exchange rate fluctuations

A substantive part of the Company's expenses is carried out in Israel, in ILS. However, the Group is active in more than 60 different countries and therefore receives payment in a large number of currencies (primarily EUR, USD, AUD and GBP). As a result, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in the different exchange rates opposite ILS. In addition, the Company's financial statements are in USD, and therefore the Company is also exposed to fluctuations in the different exchange rates opposite USD, which could impact on the results of the Company's activities. However, because the payments received by the Group are spread out over a large number of currencies, some of the impact of the fluctuations in different exchange rates opposite ILS and USD are offset and cancel each other out.

1.35.1.4. Shortage of components required for manufacturing the Company's products

Notwithstanding the fact that most of the components necessary for manufacturing the Company's products are manufactured by a large number of manufacturers, certain key components are acquired from exclusive or few suppliers. In addition, the Company deals with many additional companies in the areas of computing, telephony and other electronic products, with the general components. Therefore, the Company is exposed to risks of shortages, price increases, changes to tariffs and delays in the supply of the key components and general components, which may adversely affect the Company's financial results. For details about the effect of the components shortage on the Company's operational results and about the Company coping with such shortage, see section 1.8.4 above and section 1.3 in the Board of Directors Report.

1.35.2. Industry risks

1.35.2.1. Activity in a competitive market

Activity in the business clearing and operation market is characterized by low competition on the global level. However, additional major players are active in some of the Company's areas of activity, which increase competition in the specific area of activity in which they are active. The existence of additional players in the Company's area of activity, together with everincreasing demands to provide technological solutions to make payment and operation functions accessible for Attended and Unattended points of sale, as well as changes in the regulations applicable to the Group's activities, require the Group to respond quickly and constantly update its services in order to maintain its ability to offer its customers complete, comprehensive solutions for business management. Notwithstanding the above, the Company has extensive experience and wide-ranging know-how in its area of activity, as well as a large research and development team, which enable it to continue to develop the hardware and software it markets, and tailor them to developing technology and regulatory changes in its area of activity. In addition, the Company estimates that it has an advantage over its competitors, since it is the only entity in the world that provides its customers with an overall solution, end to end, enabling both receipt of cashless payments and remote management and operation of Attended and Unattended points of sale. Furthermore, the Company markets its solutions and services throughout the world, while most of its competitors offer solutions only in specific geographical regions.

For further details regarding how the Company addresses competition in its field of activity, see Section 1.16 above.

1.35.2.2. Regulatory changes

The Group's activity, particularly in light of the fact that the platform the Company markets enables clearing services, is subject to substantial regulation in different areas, according to the Company's different areas of activity, and is also subject to commercial standards, as detailed in Section 1.28 above.

As noted above, the Group provides services in over 50 countries but only holds licenses in a subset of these countries. The Group exercises its judgement as to whether its activities are subject to licensing requirements or otherwise regulated in the countries in which it operates, and it is possible that regulators or other governmental or judicial bodies in such countries may disagree with the Group's conclusions in this regard. To the extent that the Group does not comply (or has not in the past complied) with applicable licensing requirements or other applicable regulation it could face regulatory enforcement action including fines, penalties, revocation of licenses or authorizations, limitations on its products and services and other regulatory consequences (such as being required or requested to amend existing licenses or apply for new licenses), each of which may be significant and could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, regulatory changes, or changes in commercial regulations in the Group's different areas of activity, require the Group to make necessary adaptations in its products in order to meet different requirements, including through investment of financial and managerial resources. Changes in the regulations or commercial standards applicable to the Group's activity could substantially impact its financial position and results, while on the other hand could act as a substantial barrier to entry for potential competitors.

Similarly, in certain countries the Group relies on agreements with the Clearing Entities that hold local clearing licenses in order to grant clearing services to customers, and therefore changes to regulation and/or to the provisions of the laws applicable with respect to the Clearing Entities, or which may bring an end to the engagement between the Group and the Clearing Entities or changes to its characteristics, in a manner not allowing the Group to continue engaging with them or engaging with other Clearing Entities, may materially adversely affect the Company's business status, its financial condition, and its operating results.

1.35.2.3. Operational risks in a developing market

The core of the Company's activity is providing technological services. As a result, and in light of the continuous, rapid development of the area of activity, as well as expansion of the services required by the Company's customers, the Company is exposed to operational risks, including risks in the ongoing operation of the technological systems, information security risks and the durability of the Company's servers and data transfer infrastructure. In addition, in order to constitute a significant player in the market for clearing and operation solutions for businesses, the Company must demonstrate technological flexibility and advanced technical capability, in order to enable effective development that meets market demands, which can maintain the innovativeness and uniqueness of the services and products the Company offers its customers. These characteristics, together with expansion of the Company's services and an increase in its customer base, require the Company to continuously maintain and expand its existing technological capabilities for data transfer between the points of operation and the servers. Operational failures, including within data transfer, could harm the Company's reputation, its ability to retain customers and recruit new customers, as well as its business results. Furthermore, should the Company's business continue to grow and thrive, the Company will need to invest additional resources to improve its operational infrastructure, in order to maintain its performance level under a heavy operational load.

1.35.2.4. Information security risks

As a company that supplies credit clearing and management and operation services, information security failures and leaking of financial data of the Group's customers or their consumers, as well as passage of information between different territories in violation of privacy protection laws, could impact on the Company's results and reputation. Within the Company's services, sensitive credit provider information and other financial data are transferred, within execution of transactions or within remote management services the Company offers its customers. The Company operates under strict information security requirements and uses some of the most advanced security technologies in the world. Despite this, information transferred can be exposed to technological failures, ever-increasing cyberattacks and fraud. In order to prevent failures and attacks of this kind, the Company acts at all times to improve the security services of its servers, as well as those provided to customers and third parties using the Company's products. Inter alia, the Company possesses three cloud environments for saving information, as well as a sterile cloud environment. In addition, the Company has offline backup for information, as well as a support team active seven days a week and external teams for identification of attacks, infiltration and more. Beyond the risk posed to the Company's image and financial position by loss of user financial data, the Company could be exposed to regulatory inquiries, litigation, sanctions and fines in the case of an information leak. Such an event could even impact its ability to engage with clearing entities, banks and credit companies, since under the terms of agreements with these entities, non-compliance with security requirements could lead to termination of the commercial engagement.

1.35.2.5. Technical failure and damage to infrastructure

The Company's activities and the services and products it offers its customers are based on electronic systems and advanced technology. Therefore, the Company, its customers and consumers of customers, could be exposed to risks related to the stability of the Company's information systems and servers and their capacity to sustain the scope of activity. These risks include technical malfunctions, overload of system servers and cyberattacks which could lead to failure and even shutdown of the Company's computer systems and servers. A technical failure or attack on the Company's computer infrastructure, and an inability on the Company's part to restore its systems to proper functioning within a reasonable timeframe, or a lack of technical capability to meet customer needs and demands, could harm the Company's reputation and business results. In order to minimize the above risks, the Company invests multiple resources to maintain its technical soundness, inter alia, through maintenance of broad technological infrastructure comprised of three cloud environments in different sites for saving information, in addition to a sterile cloud environment that enables automatic transfer of all technological activity from site to site and a high level of technological recovery for the Company's systems.

1.35.2.6. Payment transfer system dependent on multiple entities

The Company's activity providing payment clearing services is dependent on a payment transfer system that operates through a chain of different entities (the Company, Clearing Entity, bank, credit card companies and more). A disruption caused by one of the above entities active within the payment transfer system, failure of one of the entities to fulfill their obligations vis-à-vis the Company, prohibited activity of one of the entities, or termination of the commercial relationship with one of the entities, could impact on the precise transfer of payments and as a direct result cause a violation of the Company's obligations vis-à-vis its customers, impact the Company's activities, reputation and results. In order to minimize the existing risk, the Company engages with "Tier 1" entities along the entire payment transfer chain. In addition, the Company conducts ongoing monitoring of its areas of responsibility and spreads the services it receives over many entities, to the extent possible, in order to minimize its dependency on different vendors.

1.35.2.7. Risks of violating anti-corruption laws

The Group is subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and other similar laws, in countries the Group is active in or in countries where third parties act on their behalf. These and similar laws prohibit corporations and any officers, directors, employees, business partners and agents of such corporations, as well as any third parties of them acting on their behalf, to offer, give, promise or provide anything of value to a foreign official, in order to influence his official decisions in any way, in order to obtain favorable treatment from such foreign official. For more information see section 1.28.2.6 above.

The Group currently does business with government entities around the world, interactions which expose us to potential risks under anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws. As we increase our international sales and business, our risks under these laws may increase. In addition, we use third parties to sell access to our products and services abroad. These third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities, and we can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of such third-party intermediaries, and our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities.

The Group cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will always prevent acts committed by employees, agents, or business partners of ours (or of businesses we acquire or partner with) that would violate U.S. and/or non-U.S. laws, including the laws governing payments to government officials, bribery, fraud, kickbacks, and other related laws. Noncompliance with these laws could subject us to investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, adverse media coverage, and other consequences. Any investigations, actions or sanctions could harm our business, results of operations, reputation and financial condition.

1.35.2.8. Non-compliance risks and regulatory sanctions

The Company's global operations expose it to risks under economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations. The Company's business must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, such as those administered and enforced, inter alia, by the Israel

A-114

Authority, Insurance and Savings, the Competition Authority, and any other authority authorized to conduct an investigation or proceeding, as well as by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council, and other relevant sanctions authorities. A failure by the Company to comply with these laws and regulations may expose it to reputational harm as well as significant penalties, including investigations, arrangements, fines, prosecution, enforcement actions, criminal and civil punishment etc. Despite the Company's compliance efforts and activities, it cannot assure compliance by its customers, employees, or anyone on its behalf, and therefore such liability may be imposed on the Group. Any such non-compliance or violation may significantly harm the Group, its business, its reputation, and its financial condition.

1.35.3. Risks unique to the Company

1.35.3.1. Protecting the Company's intellectual property and technological know-how

Protecting the Company's existing intellectual property and technological know-how is a matter of great importance. The Company's ability to continue to lead in the provision of its services to its customers is dependent, inter alia, on the Company's ability to protect the intellectual property upon which the Company's products are based, as well as trade secrets. A failure by the Company to suitably protect its technology could lead to increased competition from its competitors, and even loss of customers. Furthermore, competitors may reverse engineer the Company's technology and develop products and services similar to those of the Company. The Company also might not be able to detect unauthorized use of, or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce, its intellectual property rights and technology.

In addition, third parties may assert that the Company has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated a patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right belonging to them. Any infringement claim, even one without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources to defend against the claim. Moreover, a successful claim of product infringement against the Company or a settlement could require the Company to pay substantial amounts or obtain a license to continue to use the technology that is the subject of the claim, or otherwise restrict or prohibit the Company's use of the technology. The Company may also not be able to obtain a license to use satisfactory alternative technology that would allow it to continue selling its product or service.

However, the Company acts to protect its intellectual property, and as of the date of this Report, the Company has registered patent and trademark rights, as detailed in Section 1.20 above.

1.35.3.2. Risk of using third party software

The Company uses open source software in connection with its proprietary software and expects to continue to use open source software in the future. Some open-source licenses require licensors to provide source code to licensees upon request, or prohibit licensors from charging a fee to licensees. While the Company tries to insulate its proprietary code from the effects of such open-source license provisions, the Company cannot guarantee it will be successful. Accordingly, the Company may face claims from others claiming ownership of, or seeking to enforce the license terms applicable to, such open source software, including by demanding release of the open source software, derivative works or the Company's proprietary source code that was developed or distributed with such software. These claims could also result in litigation, imposing costs on the Company for legal hearings or requiring the Company to purchase a costly license or require it to devote additional research and development resources to change its software. In addition, if the license terms for the open source code change, the Company may be forced to re-engineer its software or incur additional costs. The Company cannot guarantee that it has not incorporated open source software into its proprietary software in a manner that may subject its proprietary software to an open source license that requires disclosure, to customers or the public, of the source code to such proprietary software. Any such disclosure would have a negative effect on the Company's business and the value of its proprietary software.

1.35.3.3. Termination of commercial relationships with vendors from the communications field

As the Company's activities are grounded in its data transfer capability, termination of business relationships with vendors from the communications field, such as vendors of infrastructure and internet servers, could have a negative impact on the Group's activity. The operation of communications enabling the Company's activity is dependent on the reliability and capacity of services supplied to the Group by communications vendors. Termination of business ties with vendors from this field could force the Company to invest additional resources in order to adapt its products to a new vendor.

1.35.3.4. Reliance on key figures

Mr. Yair Nechmad, CEO, founder and controlling shareholder in the Company, and well as Mr. David Ben Avi, the Company's CTO, founder and controlling shareholder, are key figures in the Company. In the Company's estimation, although it is not dependent on key figures, should these figures cease their employment with the Company, the Company's results and development could be harmed.

1.35.3.5. Lack of profitability

The Company has recorded net losses in significant amounts in every year since its establishment (including net losses of USD 6.1 million and USD 24.8 million in 2020 and 2021, respectively). In addition, the Company may not reach profitability or maintain profitability in the future. Since the market of the Company's platform, features, integrations, abilities and improvements that the Company offers, develop at high speeds, the Company can only with difficulty predict the Company's future operational results or the Company's future market abilities. Whereas the Company experienced significant growth in revenues in recent periods, the Company cannot estimate whether or when the Company shall have sufficient revenues in order to enable its growth, reach profitability or maintain profitability also in the future. In addition, the Company expects its operational results to grow significantly over the next years, due to the employment of additional manpower at the Company, expanding the Company's customers base, operations and infrastructure, the continued improvement of the Company's brand, the development and expansion of the features of the Company's platform, integrations, capabilities and improvements, the expansion and improvement of the attached and managed units and the SaaS solutions of the Company, and an increase of the Company's expenses on sales and marketing. These expenses may actually be higher than the Company currently predicts, and the Company may not succeed in increasing its revenues in a manner that would set off such expenses. Similarly, the Company's revenues may not increase according to the Company's expectations for a few potential reasons, including a slowdown in demand for the Company's products or increased competition in markets that the Company is active in.

1.35.3.6. Lack of success in increasing the number of customer and revenues from customers

In order to increase the Company's revenues, reach profitability and maintain it, the Company must increase its customer base through various methods, including but not limited to, the sale and distribution of more attached and managed units, both in the Attended and Unattended Activity, increase or maintain the retention rate of customers and expanding the use of end-to-end solutions of the Company by current customers. Even though the Company experienced significant growth in the number of attached and managed units, the Company may not reach similar growth rates in the future. Sales efforts designed for larger organizations usually involve higher costs, longer sale cycles, more competition and less predictability with respect to the closing of some of the Company's sales. These sale opportunities may require the Company to dedicate more resources in sales, research, development and customer support, which would involve an increase in costs and a slowdown in sales turnover. Should the Company's efforts to sell to large organizations fail, or should no additional revenues be generated, this may have adverse implications on the Company's results. Moreover, the Company's revenues model is based on a non-recurring payment for the sale of the Company's end units, the payment of se monthly use fees for the Company's service package and in the Unattended Activity only – collecting a clearing fee from any transaction executed in the sales point, and which is cleared through the Company's platform. Customers who purchase and use the Company's units are not required to use the telemetry solutions or the clearing capabilities of the Company's platform, and those who do use these features, may reduce or cease use thereof. In addition, it is difficult for the Company to predict the churn rates considering the Company's diverse customers base, which consists of large organizations and of small and medium size businesses, which may grow or change. Should the Company not succeed in expanding its customer base or its customers' use of the variety of solutions that the Company offers, the Company's revenues may decrease or grow slower than expected, which may impact the Company's business, the results of its activity and its financial condition.

The Company's estimates regarding the aforementioned risk factors, including the extent of impact of the risk factor on the Company's activity, is deemed forward-looking information as such term is defined in the Securities Law, based on Company information as of the date of this Prospectus, and also including Company estimations and analysis. The impact of the realization of any given risk factor could be different from the Company's estimations, inter alia due to factors that are not necessarily under the Company's control. In addition, the Group may be exposed in the future to additional risk factors, and the impact of each risk factor, if realized, may be different from the Company's estimation.

Board of Directors' Report on the State of the Company's Affairs for year ended 31 December 2021

The Company's board of directors hereby respectfully submits the board of directors' report on the state of the corporation's affair for the one-year period ended 31 December 2021 (the "Report Period" and "Board of Directors Report", as applicable), according to the Securities (Periodic and Immediate Reports) Regulations, 5730-1970.

1. Explanations of the board of directors on the state of the Company's affairs and its operational results

1.1.General

The Company was incorporated in Israel on 16 January 2005, as a private company with the name "Sarankot Ltd.". On 10 May 2005, the Company changed its name to its current name. On 10 May 2021, the Company published an initial public offering prospectus, secondary sale prospectus and shelf prospectus (reference no: 2021-01- 082128) (the "Company Prospectus"), whereby Company shares were offered to the public, and as a result the Company turned into a public company. Starting 13 May 2021, the Company's shares have been traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. ("TASE"). As of the report date, the Company, including through corporations that it directly and indirectly owns (hereinafter: the "Group"), is engaged in the area of solutions and services for processing and operation of businesses through a global platform.

In the framework of its activity, the Company offers its customers, through its platform, which combines proprietary hardware and software developed by the Company, comprehensive solutions and services to unattended points of sale and service ("Unattended" or the "Unattended Activity"), and to attended points of sale and service ("Attended" or the "Attended Activity"). As of the report date, the Company's Attended Activity focuses on the Israeli and UK markets, but the Company plans to expand to the global market in the next years.

1.2. Growth and key metrics

44102 - 2566656/13

The Company has been growing consistently since its incorporation, and in recent years the Company's growth has even accelerated. The Company is examining its growth through four key metrics: the number of connected and managed points of sale that the Company provides services to, the number of customers and the number of transactions executed at the points of sale, and their financial value.

1.3. Dealing with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic including the global shortage of components

During Q1 of 2020 the coronavirus ("Covid-19") began to spread globally, and on 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic. Covid-19 led to sharp declines on stock markets all over the world, and to a global economic slowdown. The global economic slowdown led, and may in the future lead, to a decrease in consumption, and thus it had, and may also in the future have, a negative effect on the Group's activity and its results.

The effect of Covid-19 on the Group was in 2020 mainly noticeable through a reduction in the number of Unattended points of sale of the Group's customers and in the number of consumer transactions executed with the Group's customers in Attended and Unattended points of sale. Nevertheless, as of the end of 2021 and as of the publication date of this Report, the number of active Attended and Unattended points of sale of the Group's customers, as well as the number of consumer transactions executed in the Attended and Unattended points of sale, is significantly higher than what it was before the Covid-19 pandemic.

An additional trend that can be pointed to is that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, consumers prefer cashless payment methods in order to limit interactions with other people and surfaces, in the framework of social distancing rules. Such behavior has a positive effect on the Company.

Similarly, the global outbreak of Covid-19 caused uncertainty in the global economy and staggering economic damage due to the closure of many businesses, slowdown in manufacture, delay in deliveries and partial shutdown of national and international transportation, while on the other hand global demand for various electronic products significantly increased. The global shortage of components required for manufacturing the Company's hardware products led to an increase in prices (including some significant increases), and as a result adversely affected the Company's gross profit rate from the sale of hardware in Q3 and Q4 of 2021. The Company's strategy is to continue the supply of hardware to its customers without increasing the sale prices even under such circumstances, since according to the Company's management, the sale of the hardware to customers constitutes the strategic foundation for engaging with new

customers and expanding the activity of existing customers, and therefore is one of the cornerstones for the Company's continued growth over time. In 2021, hardware sales accounted for approximately 40% of the Company's sales.

In light of the fact that the Covid-19 crisis is an ongoing crisis, and it is difficult to know how it will develop in the future, the Company's management cannot at this stage estimate the scope of the future implications of Covid-19 on the Company's operations and its results. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company estimates that its long-term activity is not expected to materially suffer, in light of the Company's current customer base and potential of future engagements with current and potential customers in markets where it is active, as well as in additional markets. Similarly, the Company's management believes that the Covid-19 pandemic will not significantly impair its activity, and even the opposite, as the dependence on digital solutions for remote management only increased and the importance of the Group's products for managing Unattended commerce is only becoming stronger.

For more information about the effects of Covid-19 on the Group's activity and ways the Company is coping, see section 1.8.4 in Chapter A of this Report.

The Company's estimates with respect to the potential implications of Covid-19 on the Group's activity, as described above, constitute forward looking information, as defined in the Securities Law, the materialization of which is uncertain and is not in the Company's control. This information is mainly based on the Company's estimates, which are inter alia based on the information that is known on the publication date of this Report. It is clarified that there is no certainty whatsoever that the all or part of the estimates shall materialize, and they may even be materially different than those presented above, inter alia due to their dependence on external factors that are not in the Company's control, such as changes and trends in Covid-19 spread.

1.4. Financial position

44102 - 2566656/13

A summary of data on the financial position is presented below (in USD thousands):

As of 31 December Board of directors' explanation
Item 2021
2020
Current assets 156,048 54,518 The increase in current assets as of 31 December 2021, compared to the current assets as of 31
December 2020, mainly derived from an increase in cash and cash equivalents as a result of an
initial public offering of the Company's shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd., and from
an increase in the balance of trade receivables,
restricted cash transferable
to
customers and
receivables in respect of
processing
activity, as a result of an increase in the Company's scope of
activity. In addition, there was an increase in the Company's inventory balance as a result of an
increase of the components' price.
Non-current
assets
59,958 38,235 The increase in non-current assets as of 31 December 2021, compared to the non-current assets
as of 31 December 2020, mainly derived from an increase in the balance of goodwill and
intangible assets (primarily in light of the acquisition of Weezmo Technologies Ltd. ("Weezmo")
and due to development costs that were capitalized), an investment in an investee company
following the acquisition of shares from Tigapo Ltd. ("Tigapo"), an investment in Nilus
Ltd.
("Nilus") (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements), as well as an increase of right-of
use assets
and leasehold improvements in light of the Company's engagement in June 2021 in a
lease agreement for leasing additional office space (for details see section 1.18.2 in Chapter A of
this Report).
Current liabilities 70,188 62,251 of 31 December 2020, mainly derived from an increase in
Payables in respect of processing
activity
as a result of an increase in the scope of the Company's activity and an increase in salary
and bonus balances for employees in light of an increase in the number of employees and the
implementation of a bonus program in 2021. Conversely, there is a reduction in short-term credit
from banking corporations in light of repayment of a short-term credit.
The decrease in non-current liabilities as of 31 December 2021, compared to non-current
Non-current
liabilities
14,142 18,001 liabilities as of 31 December 2020, mostly derived from a decrease in loans from banking and
other corporations. An additional decrease derives from the repayment of other long-term
obligations for the acquisition of Nayax Retail Ltd. (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial
statements). On the other hand, there
was an increase in liabilities for leases in light of the
Company's engagement in June 2021 when it executed a lease agreement for leasing additional
office space (for details see section 1.18.2 in Chapter A of this Report) and the purchase of Tigapo
shares.
Equity 131,676 12,501 The increase in equity as of 31 December 2021, compared to the equity as of 31 December 2021,
mainly derived from an initial public offering of the Company's shares on TASE, and on the other
hand, an offsetting effect of the equity decrease as a result of the Company's losses in 2021.

1.5. Activity results

Data about the activity results is presented below (in USD thousands):

Revenues 119,134 78,783 22,774 31,001 30,926 34,433 The increase in revenues in 2021 compared to 2020 derived from the
following factors:
A significant increase in revenues from the sale of end units and other
1.
units in light of an increase in the scope of sold units. In 2021 the
total revenues from selling end units and other units are
approximately USD 48 million, compared to approximately USD 35
million in 2020, which constitutes an increase of approximately 36%.
An increase in recurring revenues in light of growth in the number of
2.
active paying units and an increase in the scope of processing
activity
and transactions of the Company's trade receivables. In 2021 the
total recurring revenues (services and processing) is approximately
USD 71 million compared to approximately USD 43 million in 2020,
which constitutes an increase of approximately 64%. The recurring
revenues consist of monthly usage fees for using the management
software, which are collected as a fixed monthly payment, and from
processing
fees, which are usually collected as a percentage of the
scope of processing
performed with the Company's
trade
receivables. The increase in revenues was supported by a high rate
of customer retention compared to a low rate of leaving customers.
In 2021, approximately 40% of the Company's revenues derived from
revenues from the sale of end units and approximately 60% from
recurring revenues (services and processing). On the other hand, in
2020, approximately 45% of the Company's revenues derived from
revenues from the sale of end units and approximately 55% from
Cost of
revenues
70,970 41,603 12,273 17,680 18,580 22,437 recurring revenues (services and processing).
Most of the increase in the cost of revenues in 2021 compared to 2020,
derived from the growth of the Company's revenues as foregoing (a
significant part of the cost of revenues is directly derived from the
revenues).In addition, the prices for the raw materials used for the
Company's products increased, deriving from the global shortage of the
components (for details see section 1.22 in Chapter A of this Report).

In 2021 -
40%, and in 2020 -
47%. The gross profit rate for the sale of
end units and other units in 2021 is 16% compared to 30% in 2020. The
gross profit rate for recurring revenues in 2021 is 57% compared to 61%
in 2020. The gross profit rate in 2021 compared to last year decreased
mainly due to an increase in the price of the raw materials, which derived
from the global shortage of the components, and on the other hand the
prices for the Company's customers not being raised, pursuant to the
Company's strategy that the sale of hardware units constitutes a
significant cornerstone for its continued growth.

expenses
19,040 9,300 3,300 4,722 5,265 5,753 The increase in research costs in 2021 compared to 2020 mainly derived
from an increase in the scope of salary costs and affiliated costs for the
research and development department as a result of an increase in the
number of employees, the salary costs, the adoption of a bonus program
for the Group's employees (except for salespeople and relatives of the
controlling shareholders) and from an increase in the development costs
of subcontractors.

to 2020 mainly derived from an increase in costs for professional and
regulatory services and from an increase in the scope of salary costs and
affiliated costs, as a result of an increase in the number of employees,
salary costs, and the adoption of a bonus program for the Group's
employees (except for salespeople and relatives of the controlling
shareholders). In addition, an increase in costs for share-based payment,
mainly in light
of the options granted
in the report period to Mr. Yair
Nechmad and Mr. David Ben-Avi, among the Company's controlling
shareholders (for details see regulation 21 in Chapter D of this Report).

new employees, and from rising prices of the raw materials inventory
deriving from the global component shortage.

2020 mainly derived from investments in Weezmo, Tigapo and Nilus

financing
activity
114,140 6,046 The increase in cash flow arising from financing activity in 2021

  • 1.7.8.The average scope of the Company's long-term loans in 2021 was approximately USD 10.7 million, compared to approximately USD 12.8 million in 2020. The decrease in long-term loans mainly derived from loan repayments from a banking corporation and from others.
  • 1.7.9.The average scope of the Company's short-term credit in 2021 was approximately USD 5.1 million, compared to approximately USD 10 million in 2020. As set forth in section 1.7.5 above, the Company repaid the short-term bank credit in 2021.
  • 1.7.10. The average credit from suppliers in 2021 was approximately USD 10.1 million, compared to approximately USD 8.5 million in 2020.

The average credit provided to trade receivables in 2021 was approximately USD 16.6 million, compared to approximately USD 10.6 million in 2020.

Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Nayax Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Nayax Ltd. ("the Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's board of directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel, including standards prescribed by the Auditor's Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Company's board of directors and management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations, changes in equity and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and with the provisions of the Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

a. Nayax Ltd. (hereafter – the "Company") was incorporated in January 2005. The Company provides processing and software as a service (SaaS) business operations solutions and services via a global platform. The Company is marketing its POS devices and SaaS solutions it developed in more than 60 countries worldwide (including Israel) through subsidiaries (the Company and the subsidiaries, hereafter – the "Group") and through local distributors.

On May 13, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering (IPO) on the Tel Aviv stock exchange in which it sold 44 million ordinary shares of NIS 0.0001 par value each for a gross amount, before issuance costs, of \$141.6 million and \$132.5 million net of issuance costs.

Additionally, as part of the IPO, 19.5 million ordinary shares of the Company were sold by Mr. Yair Nechmad, Mr. Amir Nechmad and Mr. David Ben-Avi for \$62 million.

The IPO was a non-uniform offering, as this term is defined by Israeli Securities Regulations (Manner of Offering Securities to the Public), 2007, to institutional investors in Israel and outside of Israel.

The IPO expenses in the profit or loss report were \$1,879 thousand, which include bonuses in respect of the IPO to a number of its employees for a total of \$979 thousand.

b. Impact of COVID-19

a) General

In December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in China, which quickly spread worldwide in early 2020, causing global economic uncertainty and distress due to mandatory shut-downs of many businesses, slower manufacturing and disruption of national and international shipments and travel (hereinafter: "COVID"), while on the other hand, significantly increased global demand for different electronic products. This trend coupled with the slowdown in manufacturing, created a global shortage for the components required to make many electronic products.

As part of the efforts to cope with COVID, most countries worldwide imposed certain restrictions on their populations, including limits on movement, gathering in the public space; caps on the numbers of employees allowed in workplaces and more. Those restrictions have had a direct impact on many industries, with some of them experiencing complete halt.

Such global shortage in the availability of components started to adversely affect the gross profit rate from selling the hardware since third quarter of 2021, due to an increase in the price of many components used by the Company for manufacturing its hardware products, some of them significantly.

b) Efficiency plans

In response to the COVID crisis in Israel and worldwide, the Company implemented two efficiency plans for coping with the situation. The first plan started shortly after the outbreak in March 2020. This plan mostly involved a 15%-20% reduction in monthly hours of employees and sent 10% of its staff in Israel on unpaid leave. This plan ended in July 2020.

The second efficiency plan implemented by the Company began in October 2020. The plan mostly involved a reduction of up to 10% of Israeli-based employees' salaries. This plan ended in January 2021. For the avoidance of doubt, all employees sent on unpaid leave returned to normal work, and all payroll reductions and/or hour cuts were eliminated.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL (continued):

b. Effect of COVID-19 (continued):

  • c) Government support
    • Government guarantee loans

In May 2020, the Company received from an Israeli bank a 15 million NIS (\$4.25 million) long-term loan that is backed by a government guarantee, as part of the government assistance plan due to COVID. For more information on the terms of the loan, see note 13(b)(2). For list of liens to secure the loan, see note 25(a)(3).

  • Additionally, support was received from governments in the domicile of a number of subsidiaries:
    • The Australian government an employment encouragement grant of AU\$222 thousand (US\$170 thousand).
    • The US government Forgivable loans totaling \$483 thousand were received and forgiven. Accordingly, these loans were derecognized against a decrease in the payroll expenses in respect of which the loans were received.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of presentation:

The financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the two years ended December 31, 2021, are in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard (hereafter – "IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereafter – "IASB") and include the additional disclosure required under the Israel Securities Regulations (Preparation of Annual Financial Statements), 2010 and Israel Securities Regulations (Financial Statements for corporation whose shares are included in Tel Aviv Tech Elite index), 2016.

In connection with the presentation of these financial statements, the following is stated:

  • 1) The principal accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
  • 2) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Group's management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3. Actual results may differ materially from estimates and assumptions used by the Group's management.
  • 3) The Group's operating cycle is 12 months.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

b. Consolidated financial statements

1) Subsidiaries and business combinations

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

When assessing control, the Company considers its potential voting rights, as well as such rights held by other parties to determine whether it has power over an investee. Potential voting rights are rights to obtain voting rights of an investee, such as those arising from convertible instruments or options, including forward contracts. Those potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of acquisition is measured at the fair value of the consideration transferred on acquisition date plus non-controlling interests in the acquired entity. In each business combination, the Group determines whether to recognize non-controlling interests in the acquired entity at fair value on acquisition date or proportionally to the share of non-controlling interests at the fair value of net identifiable assets of the acquired entity.

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition consideration and the amount of non-controlling interests and acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the resulting amount is negative, the acquirer recognizes the resulting gain on the acquisition date.

Intra-group transactions and balances, including revenues, expenses and dividends in respect of transactions between Group entities were eliminated. Gains and losses on intra-group transactions that are recognized as assets (such as inventory and property and equipment) are also eliminated.

Accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2) Transactions with non-controlling interests' owners which do not result in loss of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests owners which do not result in loss of control are accounted for as transactions with shareholders. In such transactions, the difference between the fair value of any consideration paid or received and the amount in which the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their proportional interest in a subsidiary are recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

3) Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group exercises significant influence, but not control. The investment in an associate is accounted for by the equity method.

4) The equity method

According to the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recognized at cost and its carrying amount varies such that the Group recognizes its share of the associate's earnings or losses from acquisition date.

Goodwill relating to associates and joint ventures is included in the investment's carrying amount and tested for impairment as part of the entire investment.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

b. Consolidated financial statements (continued):

4) The equity method (continued):

The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the statements of profit or loss , and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate (including any other unsecured receivables), the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there are any indications that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the investment (the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell) and its carrying amount and recognizes the impairment amount in the income statement.

c. Translation of foreign currency balances and transactions:

1) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (hereafter - the "Functional Currency"). When determining the functional currency of Group companies and whether their functional currency is identical to that of the Company, the materiality of the foreign operations as an extension of the reporting entity was taken into account.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company and Group entities, except Nayax Retail and Weezmo, whose functional currency is the NIS.

Set forth below are the exchange rates of the US Dollar against the NIS, Euro, Pound Sterling and Australian Dollar as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Exchange rate Exchange rate
Exchange rate Exchange rate of the US of the US Dollar
of the US of the US Dollar against against the
Dollar against Dollar against the Pound Australian
the NIS the Euro Sterling Dollar
December 31, 2021 3.11 0.884 0.74 1.376
December 31, 2020 3.215 0.814 0.736 1.305

2) Transactions and balances

Transactions made in a currency which is different from the functional currency ("foreign currency") are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or revaluation, if the items are revalued. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the end-of-year exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Gains and losses from changes in exchange rates are presented in the statement of profit or loss among "finance expenses, net" .

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

c. Translation of foreign currency balances and transactions (continued):

3) Translation of financial statements of Group entities:

The results and financial position of Group entities, whose functional currency is different than the presentation currency, are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • (a) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position statement presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;
  • (b)Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates for the period (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
  • (c) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations whose functional currency is different than that of the Company are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is fully disposed of, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are recognized in the statement of profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from acquisition of foreign operations, are accounted for as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and translated at closing rate. Exchange differences arising from the translation as aforesaid are carried to other comprehensive income.

d. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term bank deposits, which are not restricted by liens, with original maturities of three months or less. For additional information about the restricted cash, see note 8 below.

e. Inventory

Finished goods inventories purchased by the Company are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a moving average basis. The cost of inventory includes all acquisition costs, conversion costs and other direct costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its current location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The Group periodically reviews the condition and age of the inventory, and where necessary makes impairment provisions.

f. Property and equipment

Property, plant and equipment items are initially recognized at acquisition cost. Subsequent costs are included as incurred in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. When a part of a property, plant and equipment item is replaced, its value is derecognized. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to depreciate their cost to their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

f. Property and equipment (continued):

%
Computers and peripheral equipment 33
Rental of POS devices 20
Machinery and equipment 10

Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the earlier of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

The assets' residual values, their useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at least once a year.

g. Intangible assets:

1) Research and development

Intangible assets arising from development projects or from internally-developed new products, development of internally-used operational systems and integration of external systems with the Group's existing systems, are recognized as intangible assets, subject to the following conditions being met:

  • a) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use exists;
  • b) Management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
  • c) There is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
  • d) The way the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits is demonstrable;
  • e) The technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset are available; and
  • f) The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.

The Group monitors all its development projects to identify costs for recognition as an expense in profit or loss and costs for capitalization as an asset in the statement of financial position by making a distinction between:

  • (1) Investments in new products (hardware and software), as opposed to expenses aimed at maintaining normal functionality;
  • (2)Investment in integrations and opening markets; and
  • (3) Investment in software for own use.

The Group reviews, in relation to each investment, whether it is designed to substantially enhance the functionality in a way that would increase the economic benefit flowing to the Group (i.e. higher revenue and/or cost savings).

Investments designed to enhance functionality in a way that would increase the economic benefit flowing to the Group are capitalized as an asset and presented within "goodwill and intangible assets, net" in the statement of financial position (subject to satisfying the six terms listed above).

The main types of costs that are capitalized as an intangible asset as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are:

  • (1) Payroll costs and related expenses (including costs of share-based payment plans), which are attributed by the Group to the different projects that meet the conditions for capitalization;
  • (2) Cost of subcontractors, which are specifically identified to projects that meet the conditions for capitalization.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

g. Intangible assets (continued):

1) Research and development (continued):

Research costs are expensed as incurred to the "research and development expenses" item in the statement of profit or loss. Research costs of the Group in the reported periods are immaterial to its financial statements.

Development costs designed to maintain normal functionality or insignificantly enhance functionality, as well as development costs that are not identified with a project that can be capitalized, are expensed as incurred to "research and development expenses" in profit or loss.

Research and development expenses that were previously expensed to profit and loss are not recognized as intangible assets in subsequent reporting periods.

Development costs presented as intangible assets are amortized from the point in time in which the asset is available for use, on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives (5 years). Development assets which have not yet reached the point in which the asset is available for use are tested for impairment every year.

2) Distribution rights

Distribution rights purchased as part of a business combination are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Separately purchased distribution rights are recognized at cost, plus directly attributable acquisition costs. The distribution rights have a definite useful life (20 years), and they are presented net of accumulated amortization on a straight-line basis.

3) Customer relationships

Customer relationships purchased as part of a business combination are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Separately purchased customer relationships are recognized at cost, plus directly attributable acquisition costs. The customer relationships have a definite useful life (10 years), and they are presented net of accumulated amortization on a straight-line basis.

4) Technology

Technology purchased as part of a business combination is recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Technology has a definite useful life (5-7 years) and is presented net of accumulated amortization on a straight-line basis.

5) Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the overall excess of: (1) the consideration transferred; (2) the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; (3) in a business combination achieved in stages, also the existing fair value as of the acquisition date of the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree, over the net amount as of the acquisition date, of the identifiable assets acquired and the acquiree's liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, as from the acquisition date to each of the cash generating units or groups of cash generating units of the Group that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Impairment testing of a cash generating unit to which goodwill was allocated is undertaken annually and whenever there is any indication of impairment of the cash generating unit, by comparing the carrying amount of the cash generating unit, including the goodwill, to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its value in use and the fair value less costs to sell.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

g. Intangible assets (continued):

5) Goodwill (continued):

Any impairment loss is first allocated to write-down the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit, and afterwards to the remaining assets of the cash generating unit, on a proportionate basis using the carrying amounts of each asset of the cash generating unit. Any impairment loss on goodwill is recognized immediately in profit or loss and is not subsequently reversed.

h. Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill, as well as intangible assets that are not yet available for use, are not amortized and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less selling costs and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels of identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-monetary assets, other than goodwill, that were impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment recognized in respect thereof at each statement of financial position date.

i. Leases:

The Group accounts for a contract as a lease contract if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.

1) The Group as a lessee:

In transactions in which the Group acts as lessee, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset against a lease liability on the commencement date of the lease contract, except in the case of lease transactions with a lease term of up to 12 months and lease transactions for which the underlying asset is of low value; in those cases, the Group recognizes the lease payments on a straight-line basis as an operating cost over the lease period.

As part of the measurement of the lease liability, the Group does not separate between lease and nonlease components, such as: management services, maintenance services and more, which are included in the relevant transaction.

The lease liability on the commencement date includes outstanding lease payments discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or by the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The Group used the incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Subsequent to the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability using the effective interest method.

The right-of-use asset on the commencement date is measured based on the lease liability plus lease payments paid on or before inception date plus initial direct costs and less lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model and depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease period. When there are indications for impairment, the Group tests the right-of-use asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

  • i. Leases (continued):
    • 2) The Group as a lessor:

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the Group's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group regularly reviews the estimated unguaranteed residual value and applies the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, recognizing an allowance for expected credit losses on the lease receivables.

Finance lease income is calculated with reference to the gross carrying amount of the lease receivables, except for credit-impaired financial assets for which interest income is calculated with reference to their amortized cost (i.e. after a deduction of the loss allowance).

3) Subleases

In transactions where the Group leases an underlying asset (a head lease) and sub-leases that underlying asset to a third party (sublease), the Group checks whether the risks and rewards relevant to the rightof-use asset were transferred by, among other things, checking the sub-lease period in reference to the useful life of the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

When substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the right-of-use asset were transferred, the Group accounts for the sub-lease as a finance lease. At sublease commencement date, the leased asset is derecognized and a "receivable in respect of finance lease" is recognized in an amount equal to the present value of the lease proceeds discounted by the lease's implicit interest rate. Any difference between the balance of the leased asset prior to derecognition and the receivable balance in respect of the lease is recognized in profit and loss.

j. Government grants

Government grants are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Group will meet all the terms attached thereto. A forgivable loan from a government is treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan.

Government grants relating to costs are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Government grants received as participation in research and development carried out by the Group fall into the scope of "forgivable loans" as defined in IAS 20 – "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance".

In cases where on the date on which the entitlement to receive the grant is established (hereafter – the "entitlement date") the Group's management concludes that there is no reasonable assurance that the grant to which the Group is entitled will not be repaid, the Group recognizes, on that date, a financial liability accounted for in accordance with the provisions applicable under IFRS 9 to financial liabilities measured using the effective interest method.

In cases where the Group's management concludes that there is reasonable assurance that the grant received will not be repaid, or if it is not expected that the Company will be required to pay royalties in respect thereof, the grant is carried, at that date, to profit or loss as a reduction of research and development expenses.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

j. Government grants (continued):

If in subsequent periods the Group's management concludes for the first time that the grant will be repaid or that royalties will be paid by the Group in respect thereof, the Group recognizes a financial liability on that date, against profit or loss as an increase in research and development expenses. This liability will be measured at amortized cost in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 using the effective interest method. Amounts payable on account of repayment of the grant or as royalties are recognized as the settlement of the liability.

k. Financial instruments:

Classification of financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at amortized cost. The classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows in respect thereof.

Financial assets at amortized cost are financial assets held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and their contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets not classified into one of the categories of financial assets at amortized cost or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

These assets are classified as current assets, except if they are expected to be settled within more than 12 months after the statement of financial position date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets. The Group's financial assets at amortized cost are included in the following items: "receivables in respect of processing activity", "trade receivable", "other current assets", "cash and cash equivalents", "short- term bank deposits", "restricted cash transferable to customers in respect of processing activity", "long-term receivables" and "long-term bank deposits" in the statement of financial position.

Recognition and measurement

Ordinary course purchase and sales of financial assets are recorded in the Group's books of accounts on the date on which the asset is delivered to the Group or by the Group.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership associated with these assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are presented in subsequent periods at fair value. In subsequent periods, financial assets at amortized cost are measured based on the effective interest method.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are carried to income or loss. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are presented in income or loss under "finance expenses, net", in the period in which they are incurred.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

k. Financial instruments (continued):

Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost

The Group recognizes a provision for loss in respect of expected credit losses on debt instruments measured at amortized cost, lease receivables and assets in respect of contracts with customers that arise from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15.

At each statement of financial position date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly since it was initially recognized, whether assessed on an individual or collective basis. For that purpose, the Group compares the risk of default at the reporting date with the risk of default on the initial recognition date, taking into account all reasonable and supportable information that is available, including forward-looking information.

For financial assets that experience a significant increase in their credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measures the impairment for loss at the amount of expected credit losses over the entire life of the instrument. Otherwise, the provision for loss is measured at the expected credit loss in a 12-month period.

However, the Group measures the provision for loss at an amount equal to expected credit losses over the instrument's life for trade receivables or assets in respect of contract with customers arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, and for receivables in respect of lease, stemming from transactions within the scope of IFRS 16.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position, only when there is an immediate legally enforceable right (which is not conditional upon the occurrence of a future event) to offset the recognized amounts under all of the following circumstances: in the ordinary course of business, in the event credit default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and of all counterparties, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial liabilities

Upon initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value net of transaction costs. In subsequent periods loans are measured at amortized cost. Any differences between the consideration (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value are recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the term of the loan, in accordance with the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss.

Fees paid in respect of receipt of a credit facility are recognized as transaction costs attributed to the relevant loan, to the extent that it is probable that a portion or all of the credit facility amount shall be utilized. In such a case, the recognition of fees is deferred until the funds are actually withdrawn as part of the loan. If there is no evidence that a portion or all of the credit facility will be utilized, the fee is capitalized as a prepaid payment in respect of financing services and amortized over the term of the relevant credit facility.

Loans are classified as current liabilities, unless if the Group has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the loans by at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case they are classified as non-current liabilities.

l. Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for sales of POS devices or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

m. Trade payables

Trade payables are the Group's obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired from suppliers in the ordinary course of business.

n. Income taxes

Income tax expense or benefits for the reported years include current and deferred taxes. Taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except for taxes arising from business combination and taxes relating to items carried to other comprehensive income or directly to equity, which are also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively, together with the item in respect of which they were created.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted in the countries in which Group companies operate and generate taxable income at the statement of financial position date. The Group periodically evaluates the tax aspects applicable to its taxable income based on the relevant tax laws and makes provisions in accordance with the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

The Group recognizes deferred income tax using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

The amount of deferred taxes is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all temporary differences that are tax deductible, up to the amount of the differences that are expected to be utilized in the future, against taxable income. Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of unused carryforward losses, if it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized.

The Group does not recognize deferred taxes on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, since the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that these temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are set off only if:

  • –An enforceable legal right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
  • –Deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax imposed by the same tax authority on the same entity or on different entities that intend to settle the balances on a net basis.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

o. Employee benefits:

  • 1) Post-employment benefits:
    • a. Defined contribution plans

For most of its employees in Israel, the Company operates various pension and severance pay schemes which were approved in accordance with Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds. These plans constitute defined contribution plans since the Company pays fixed contributions into separate and independent entities. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

The contributions are recognized as an expense for employee benefits when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

b. Defined benefit plans

Labor laws and agreements in Israel, and the practice of the Group, require it to pay retirement benefits to employees dismissed or retiring in certain other circumstances. The amounts of benefits that such employees are entitled to receive upon retirement is based on the number of years of employment and the employee's last monthly salary, subject to the conditions set in the agreements. These liabilities are accounted for as defined benefit plans.

Total retirement benefit obligation as recognized in the statements of financial position is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date, less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows (after taking into account the expected rate of salary increases) using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related liability.

The Company recognizes remeasurements of the net defined benefit obligations in other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred. Those remeasurements are created as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and differences between plan assets return and the amounts included in net interest on net defined benefit obligations.

Past and current service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss under the payroll line items, while interest expenses on the net liabilities are recognized in expense on a current basis under the finance expenses line item.

"Plan assets", as defined in IAS 19, are measured at fair value, and they are deducted from the balance of the defined benefit obligation for statement of financial position presentation.

2) Other long-term benefits

Other long-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are not short term, post-employment and termination benefits, as defined in IAS 19. The liability for other long-term employee benefits is measured in the same way of measuring the obligation for defined benefit plans (see (1) above). However, remeasurements of other long-term employee benefits are not recognized in other comprehensive income, but to profit or loss.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

o. Employee benefits (continued):

3) Vacation and recreation benefits

Under labor laws in Israel every employee is legally entitled to vacation and recreation benefits, both computed on an annual basis. This entitlement is based on the term of employment. The Group charges a liability and expense due to vacation and recreation pay, based on the benefits that have been accumulated for each employee.

Where the Group expects that the liability in respect of the vacation pay benefit will be settled within 12 months from the end of the annual reporting period during which the employees provided the relating services, the liability in respect of this benefit is measured in accordance with the additional amount, which the Group expects to pay in respect of the unutilized benefit accrued as of the end of the reporting period. If the Group does not expect that the liability in respect of the vacation pay benefit will be settled in full within that period, the liability for this benefit is measured as a liability for other long-term employee benefits (see (2) above).

p. Revenue recognition

The Group has revenues from sales of Point of Sales (POS) devices, software as a service (SaaS) and payment processing fees.

1) Revenue measurement

The revenue of the Group is measured at the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised terminals or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as certain selling taxes. Revenue is presented net of VAT and after elimination of intra-group revenue.

2) Timing of revenue recognition

The Group recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or service under the contract with the customer. For each performance obligation, the Group determines, when entering into a contract, if it satisfies the performance obligation over time or at a point in time.

An entity satisfies a performance obligation over time if one of the following criteria is met: (1) the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits of the Group's performance as the Group performs; (2) the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (3) the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group, and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to that date.

3) Types of revenues of the Group

Revenue from sales of POS devices

The Group sells POS devices to customers.

Pursuant to IFRS 15, goods or services promised to a customer are distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service supplied (either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available); and the Group's promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

The POS devices sold to the Group's customers enable multiple functionalities. The sale of the POS device does not oblige the customer to purchase a full solution or to make a further purchase of the Group's services. Accordingly, the POS devices constitute a performance obligation that is separate from the service component, and the Group recognizes revenues from sales of POS devices at a point in time, when control of the POS devices is transferred to its customers.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

p. Revenue recognition (continued):

3) Types of revenues of the Group (continued):

SaaS revenue and payment processing fees (hereafter –"Recurring revenue")

The Group provides management services and payment processing services. The consideration for the management services includes monthly fees in respect of each POS device. The consideration for the payment processing fees includes processing services, which are mostly calculated as a percentage of the transaction's value and/or a defined fee for each processed transaction. Payment is made per the normal payment terms of the Company, which are generally 15 to 60 days from the date of the invoice. The revenue from those services is recognized in the period the services are rendered.

The Group recognizes the payment processing fees collected from its customers on a gross basis, since the Group is the entity which is primarily responsible to the completion of the processing services for the customer. The fees paid to the processing companies are recognized as expenses under cost of revenue.

q. Share-based payments

From time to time, the Group's Board of Directors approves plans for the award of options to the Group's employees and suppliers, whereby the Group receives services from its employees and/or suppliers in consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group.

The amount recognized for share-based payments to employees is determined in reference to the fair value of the options granted on the grant date. Non-market vesting terms are included among the assumptions used to estimate the number of options expected to vest, such that the expense is recognized during the vesting period, which is the period in which the employee is required to complete the set service period. As to other service providers, the cost of the transactions is measured in accordance with the fair value of the goods or services received in return for the equity instruments that were granted. Where it is not possible to measure reliably the fair value of the goods or services received in consideration for equity instruments, they are measured at the fair value of the granted equity instruments.

At each statement of financial position date, the Group revises its estimates as to the number of options expected to vest, based on the non-market vesting and service conditions, and recognizes the impact of the change compared to the original estimates, if any, in the statement of profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

r. Earnings (Loss) per share

The computation of basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the profit (loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, excluding treasury shares. When calculating the diluted earnings (loss) per share, the Group adds to the average number of ordinary shares outstanding, that was used to calculate the basic earnings per share, the weighted average of the number of shares to be issued assuming that all shares that have a potentially dilutive effect would be converted into shares. Said potential shares are only taken into account in cases where their effect is dilutive (reducing the earnings per share or increasing the loss per share).

s. Provisions

Provisions are recorded in the books of accounts when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the cash flows expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

s. Provisions (continued):

Bonus plan: During the Report Period, the Company's management for the first time adopted a remuneration program for all of the Group's employees (apart from salespeople and apart from employees that are relatives of the Company's controlling shareholders) in effect from 1 July 2021. According to the terms of the program, at the beginning of every calendar year (and in the current year at the beginning of the second half of 2021) personal annual targets shall be set for each employee, and pursuant to their fulfillment and to the Company's general targets, the employees shall be entitled to bonuses.

t. New International Financial Reporting Standards, amendments to standards and new interpretations:

Amendment to existing standards that is not yet effective and that the Group did not elect its early adoption

  1. Amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (hereafter –Amendment to IAS 1).

The Amendment to IAS 1 clarifies the guidance on classification of liabilities as current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities in the statement of financial position. The amendment clarifies, among other things, that:

  • a) A liability is classified as a non-current liability if the entity has a substantive right to defer the liability settlement for at least 12 months after reporting period. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that the entity's intentions as to exercise of such right is irrelevant to the classification of the liability and cancels the reference to the existence of an unconditional right.
  • b) Substantive right as above exists only to the extent that the entity meets the relevant terms on the statement of financial position date.
  • c) "Settlement" of the liability includes settlement through cash payment, other economic resources or equity instruments of the entity. However, conversion right in relation to convertible instrument classified to equity has no impact on classification of the liability in respect of the instrument.

Amendment to IAS 1 shall be implemented retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. According to guidance in the amendment, early adoption is permitted. The first-time application of the Amendment to IAS 1 is not expected to have material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

  1. Amendment to IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" (hereinafter: "Amendment to IAS 8")

The amendments to IAS 8 clarify how entities should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events, and also to present events and present transactions.

The Amendments to IAS 8 will be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. According to provisions of the Amendments, early adoption is permitted. Initial application of Amendments to IAS 8 is not expected to have material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

As part of the financial reporting process, the Group's management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the value of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and some of the disclosures provided in the Group's consolidated financial statements. By their nature these estimates may be subjective and complex and may therefore differ from actual results.

The accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements are continually reviewed and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations as to future events that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances.

Set forth below is a description of the material accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements, at the formulation of which the Group was required to make assumptions as to circumstances and events involving significant uncertainty. The Group takes into account, as applicable, the relevant facts, historical experience, impact of external factors and reasonable assumptions in accordance with the circumstances.

1) Development assets

The Group capitalizes development costs and recognizes them as intangible assets in accordance with the accounting policy listed in note 2(g). In accordance with this policy, costs incurred in respect of development projects are recognized as development assets only when a number of conditions listed in that note are met, whereas other development expenses, that do not meet these terms, are recognized as an expense in profit or loss as incurred.

The Group's management exercises judgment as to the fulfillment of the conditions allowing capitalization of development costs for each of the development projects it implements; in cases where management determines that those conditions are, indeed, met, development assets are recognized at the amount of the development costs invested in the project.

The Group's management also determines the relating estimated useful life and amortization expenses of the said development assets. The estimate is based on the projected period for the marketing of the products to be developed on the basis of the said development assets. These estimates may change significantly as a result of technological innovations and the activity of the Group's competitors, in response to extreme cyclical changes in the sector.

The Group's management shall increase the amortization expenses when the estimated useful life will decrease compared to previous estimates, or, alternatively, it shall recognize impairment or write-off development assets that have become technologically obsolete.

2) Distribution rights, customer relationship and technology

Distribution rights, customers relationship and technology recognized as a result of business combinations carried out by the Group are amortized on an ongoing basis on a straight-line basis in accordance with expected useful life. The Company assesses the need to change the intangible assets' useful lives on an ongoing basis.

3) Determining the lease terms and the discount rate in respect thereof

The Group applies IFRS 16 to account for leases. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). Based on historical experience and its business plans, the Company assesses whether it is expected that the extension options included in the lease agreements it entered into shall be exercised or not.

The Group's management reassesses if there is reasonable certainty that an extension option will be exercised, or a termination option will not be exercised if a significant event or a significant change in

NOTE 3 - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued):

3) Determining the lease terms and the discount rate in respect thereof (continued):

circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the Group, if it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise an option that was not previously included in the determination of the lease period, or shall not exercise an option that was previously included in determining the lease period.

4) Fair value of share-based payments

The fair value of the Group's equity instruments that were granted to its employees and consultants is determined using valuation methods. The Group exercises judgment in selecting the different valuation methods and for making assumptions, mostly based on market conditions and comparable benchmark companies in each grant to employees and consultants.

5) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of carryforward losses and unused deductible temporary differences, if it is probable that future taxable income will exist against which they can be utilized. A management estimate is required to determine the amount of the deferred tax asset that can be recognized based on the timing, amount of expected taxable income, its origin and tax planning strategy.

NOTE 4 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANICAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's risk management plan focuses on the uncertainty of the financial markets seeking to minimize potential negative impacts on the Group's financial performances.

Group's risk management is carried out under policies approved by senior management. This policy relates to management of foreign exchange risks, market risks and cash management risks.

1) Market risks:

a) Foreign exchange risks

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates of various currencies, primarily with respect to the exchange rates of the NIS, Euro, GPB and AUD against the US Dollar.

Foreign exchange risks arise from commercial transactions, assets or liabilities, or net investments in foreign operations which are denominated in a currency which is not the entity's functional currency.

Foreign exchange risks arise when future commercial transactions or recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency which is not the entity's functional currency.

The following table presents a sensitivity test as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 to reasonably possible changes in the exchange rates, when all other variables remain unchanged. The impact on pre-tax income of the Group is due to changes in financial assets and liabilities.

GPB 2021 824 (824)
2020 167 (167)
AUD 2021 184 (184)
2020 89 (89)

b) Risk in respect of interest rate change

Risks related to interest rates stem from changes in interest rates, which may have an adverse effect on the Group's net income or cash flows. Changes in interest rates trigger changes in the Group's interest income and expenses in respect of interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

The Company does not have material assets or liabilities bearing variable interest, as it has only loans from an Israeli bank which have the Prime interest's impact, which the effect of possible changes in Prime rate with that respect is immaterial. Therefore, the Group's revenues and operating cash flows are not materially impacted from changes in market interest rates.

2) Credit risks

Credit risk is managed on a Group level. Credit risks arise mainly from cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and credit exposures to receivables. The Group carries out a risk assessment by assessing the credit quality of each customer, taking into account the customer's financial position, past experience and other factors. The Group settles the processing fee before remitting funds to the customers.

Based on the above, the loss balance for trade receivables as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined as follows:

Most of the Group's cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were deposited with Israeli, European and American banks.

In the opinion of the Group, the credit risk arising from those balances with banks is low. In respect of the processing activity, the Group has a restricted cash balance for transfer to customers and is also entitled to receive proceeds from international processing companies. In the opinion of the Group, the credit risk arising from the balances with those processing companies is low.

3) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and credit facilities to fund operations. In view of the dynamic nature of its business activity, the Group maintains financing flexibility through maintaining the availability of credit facilities from banks, loans from shareholders and investments in share capital.

The table below analyzes the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts presented in the table represent undiscounted cash flows.

Group Management periodically reviews the ratio between future cash flows that will arise from maturities of its liabilities and the future cash flows that will arise from maturities of its financial assets; where necessary, the Group changes its liability mix and the timing of their maturity.

4) Capital risk

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stockholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

From time to time the Group assesses, as applicable, the need to raise funds from external investors.

NOTE 6 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTEES

a. Nayax Retail Ltd. (formerly: UPITec Software Ltd.)

In March 2020 (hereinafter – "closing date"), the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of the shares of UPITec Software Ltd, which was later renamed Nayax Retail Ltd. (hereinafter - "Nayax Retail"). Nayax Retail specializes in providing universal computing solutions for retailers on the basis of the SAP Business One information system. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Company acquired a 51% equity interest in Nayax Retail upon deal closing, for NIS 5.1 million (approx. \$1.43 million) which are payable as follows:

    1. NIS 3 million (\$0.85 million) in cash on Closing date.
    1. NIS 2.1 million (\$0.58 million) payable in four equal monthly installments, beginning on the first month after Closing date.

The remaining shares represent a 49% interest, were supposed to be acquired by the Company over five years, for an aggregate consideration of NIS 4.9 million (approx. \$1.5 million), payable in five equal installments (hereinafter: the "Additional Consideration").

Additionally, in the event of a qualifying transaction (as defined in the agreement), the additional acquisitions would be accelerated, and performed within 14 business days from the date of the qualifying transaction. Accordingly, and given the completion of the initial public offering by the Company (see note 1), the entire additional consideration, as above, was paid at the end of May 2021 against the transfer of all Nayax Retail's shares to the Company.

The Company performed a purchase price allocation study (PPA). As part of the PPA, the assets and liabilities were measured and presented at fair value, including technology and customer relationships that were included in intangible assets.

Additionally, due to the fact that the Company and the sellers engaged in a forward contract for the acquisition of the remaining 49% interest in Nayax Retail, the Group accounted for this as an acquisition of the entire share capital of Nayax Retail with a correspondent liability for the forward contract.

The following table presents the consideration in respect of the acquisition of Nayax Retail, the amounts recognized in respect of the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed on purchase date, at fair value:

b. Agreement to acquire Weezmo Technologies Ltd

On January 7, 2021 (hereinafter: the "Acquisition Date"), the Company entered into an agreement with Weezmo Technologies Ltd. ("Weezmo"), which is active in the interactive receipts business in Israel and worldwide, and with seven of Weezmo shareholders and five option holders, according to which the Company acquired preferred shares from three Weezmo shareholders (hereinafter: the "Sellers"), representing 36.13% (31.59% on a fully-diluted basis) of Weezmo's issued share capital. According to the agreement, the consideration to two of the Sellers will be a total of \$300 thousand in cash, such that on Acquisition Date, the Company paid \$100 thousand and three months after Acquisition Date it paid an additional amount of \$200 thousand (hereinafter: the "Cash to Two of the Sellers") in exchange for 5.78% (5.06% fully diluted) of Weezmo's issued share capital.

The consideration to the third Seller (hereinafter: the "Third Seller") is \$3.2 million in cash or alternatively through issue of 1,909,716 ordinary shares of the Company to the Third Seller (hereinafter: the "Liability to the Third Seller"), at the discretion of the Company, with the number of shares issued under that alternative being subject to adjustments, as described in the agreement.

In addition, each of Weezmo's additional shareholders (including option holders) with whom the Company entered into the agreement (hereinafter: the "Joining Shareholders") granted the Company a call option to purchase all the ordinary shares of Weezmo or the options held by them (representing a 43.73% stake, or 41.68% on a fully-diluted basis) (hereinafter: the "Call Options"). The Call Options can be exercised by the Company during the thirty-six-month period starting on Acquisition Date. In general, the consideration to all Joining Shareholders for an exercise of the Call Options will be a cash amount of \$2.6 million, or alternatively, through an issue of 1,706,213 ordinary shares of the Company to the Joining Shareholders, at the Company's discretion, with the number of shares issued under this alternative being subject to adjustments, as described in the agreement. However, in certain circumstances as stipulated by the agreement, the Joining Shareholders had the right to require the Company to pay some of the consideration in cash.

In addition, the Company granted each of the Joining Shareholders a put option to sell to the Company all shares of Weezmo they hold (hereinafter: the "Put Options"). The Put Options can be exercised by each of the Joining Shareholders starting from the Acquisition Date until the earlier of: (a) 36 months after Acquisition Date (or until another date to be agreed in writing between the Company and any Joining Shareholder); and (b) closing of an initial public offering of the Company's shares (hereinafter: "IPO"); and (c) the closing of the sale of all or substantially all shares of the Company to a third party ("Exit").

NOTE 6 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTEES (continued):

b. Agreement to acquire Weezmo Technologies Ltd (continued):

The consideration to all Joining Shareholders for the exercise of the Put Options will be \$2.6 million in cash or alternatively an allotment of 1,455,301 ordinary shares of the Company to the Joining Shareholders, at the discretion of the Company, with the number of shares issued under that alternative being subject to adjustments, as described in the agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, to the extent that the Put Options are exercised before and subject to closing an IPO or an Exit by Nayax, the number of shares the Company would allot to the Joining Shareholders is a total 1,580,758 ordinary shares. Even in this case, under certain circumstances that are detailed in the agreement, the Joining Shareholders may demand that the Company pay some of the consideration in cash.

Note that the election of the Company to pay in cash to Put and Call Option holders is limited to a period of six months, from Acquisition Date.

On Acquisition Date, the Company received all voting rights of the Sellers and the Joining Shareholders, and also received and exercised the right to appoint all directors on the board of Weezmo. Accordingly, beginning on Acquisition Date, the Company controls Weezmo and includes it in the consolidated financial statements.

The portion of Weezmo's income attributed to owners of the Company also includes the portion of noncontrolling interest to whom the Company issued the Put Options and from whom it received the Call Options. Accordingly, the rate of non-controlling interests reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements of Acquisition Date is approximately 20%.

The consideration for the business combination comprises a number of elements, as follows:

  • The Cash to Two of the Sellers, as defined above;
  • The Liability to the Third Seller, as defined above; and
  • The liability for the arrangement that includes the Put Options and Call Options, as defined above.

The Company recognized financial liabilities for the Liability to the Third Seller and its liability for the arrangement that includes the Put Options and the Call Options. The Company elected to allocate the entire Put and Call Options instrument as financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss, as permitted by IFRS 9 to account for a financial liability with an embedded derivative.

Eventually, the Company opted to pay in cash the entire consideration for Weezmo's shares.

The fair value of the liability to the Third Seller and the liability to the overall put and call options arrangement as of the Acquisition Date and close to the date of actual payment was \$5.3 million and \$5.8 million, respectively. The difference, at \$0.5 million, was recognized in the "finance expenses, net" item in the income statement.

The Company engaged with an external valuer for measuring the fair value of acquisition consideration and its allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

(**) Non-controlling interests were measured at fair value on acquisition date.

During the reported period, Put Options representing 43.73% of Weezmo's share capital (41.68% on a fully diluted basis) were exercised in exchange for \$2.6 million in cash, and the consideration to the Third Seller totaling \$3.2 million was paid.

In May 2021, an agreement was signed with all holders of non-controlling interests whereby the Company acquired their entire interest in Weezmo for \$1.25 million, payable in nine cash installments. Through December 31, 2021, an amount of \$1,069 thousand was paid. Consequently, the Company's interest in Weezmo increased to 100%.

The additional revenue included in the consolidated income statement since Acquisition Date resulting from consolidating Weezmo's results was \$534 thousand during the year. Additionally, the consolidation of Weezmo resulted in an increase of \$576 thousand in the loss for the year.

c. Agreements for the acquisition of the shares of Tigapo Ltd.

On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (hereinafter: "the First Memorandum of Principles") with Tigapo Ltd. (hereinafter: "Tigapo"), which is developing a smart, cloudbased system for management of gaming arcades.

According to the First Memorandum of Principles, the Company invested \$300 thousand in Tigapo under a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) against a right for allotments of shares in a future investment event in Tigapo at an amount that may not be less than \$1.5 million.

In May 2021, the Company acquired Tigapo shares constituting 33.39% (fully diluted) of its capital from a number of shareholders in consideration for a cash payment of \$2.1 million (hereinafter: the "Existing Shares").

In the third quarter of 2021, an additional acquisition agreement was signed in which the Company increased its interest in Tigapo for a \$6.8 million consideration, composed of a number of elements, as indicated below:

  • \$4 million in cash (hereinafter: the "Additional Investment Amount");
  • Conversion of the investment in SAFE, as indicated above;
  • Obligation to provide future consulting services by the Company to Tigapo in the Company's areas of expertise over 3 years, as well as granting a license to use the Nayax brand name;
  • The Company issued to Tigapo a put option enabling an additional investment of up to \$1 million under the same terms applied to the Additional Investment Amount (hereinafter: the "Liability for Put Option"). The put option is a liability financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss.
  • A put option granted by the Company to the remaining shareholders for the sale of the remaining shares of Tigapo and a call option that the remaining shareholders of Tigapo granted the Company to acquire the remaining shares of Tigapo (hereinafter: the "Liability for overall arrangement of put option and call option"). The options are accounted for as a financial liability and a financial asset, respectively, both measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company presents an asset and a liability for the overall arrangement of the put and call options, which are presented as a net item in the financial statements.

After entering into the agreement discussed above, the Company holds shares of Tigapo, representing 53.55% of its issued share capital (fully diluted). The other shareholders of Tigapo have substantial rights in relation to relevant activities of the investee, which prevents the Company from gaining control over Tigapo. Therefore, the investment is accounted for as an investment in an associate using the equity method.

The Company engaged with an external valuer for calculating the fair value of acquisition consideration and its allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the acquisition. The following table presents the increase in the overall investment in the third quarter of 2021:

U.S. dollars in thousands
Cash for the Additional Investment Amount 4,000
Investment in SAFE 300
Obligation to provide Services to Tigapo 312
Liability for Put Option 372
Liability for overall arrangement of put option and call option 1,777
Total consideration 6,761

The financial instruments are measured at fair value and included under level 3. The valuation is performed once quarterly by an external valuer. During the report period, the Company recognized expense of \$93 thousand for the options valuation in the "finance expenses, net" item in the income statement. The share of the Company in losses of associates accounted for by the equity method amounted to \$538 thousand during the year. Tigapo is a private company and its shares do not have a quoted market price.

e. Restructuring of the Company and Dually Ltd.

According to an agreement signed between the controlling shareholders of the Company, the Company and Dually, according to an in-agreement tax ruling that was received from the Israel Tax Authority, and after receiving an approval from the Company's board of directors and the shareholders meeting dated April 1, 2021, a three-part restructuring process was performed on April 1, 2021 (which is tax exempt under the provisions of Sections 104B, 103T and 104C to the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version] (the "Ordinance"), the end result of which was that all shares of Dually were transferred to the Company (such that Dually became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and 281,202,800 dormant shares (as this term is defined by Section 308(a) of the Companies Law) were created. On April 1, 2021, the Company eliminated all said dormant shares.

Following the above, the Company consolidates Dually's financial statements as from April 1, 2021.

The restructuring is accounted for in the Company's financial statements as a business combination under common control with initial recognition based on book value amounts of Dually. As a result of the firsttime consolidation, a total of \$316 thousand was recognized in cash and cash equivalents.

The net identifiable assets that were recognized on acquisition date were recognized against the equity attributed to Company's shareholders.

The additional income included in the consolidated statement of income or loss from Acquisition Date as a result of the consolidation of Dually's results amounted to \$1,167 thousand through December 31, 2021 (after elimination of the intercompany revenue).

(a) Goodwill

The group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. For the 2021 and 2020 reporting periods, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (CGUs) was determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management. The discount rate was a post-tax measure using a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the investment, as well as the time value of money. Five years of cash flows were included in the discounted cash flow model. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. These growth rates are consistent with forecasts included in industry reports specific to the industry in which each CGU operates.

  1. VendSys - As part of the business combination for the purchase of Greenhithe Software Solutions Ltd (hereinafter – "VendSys") the Company recognized goodwill in the total amount of \$891 thousand. The following key assumptions were used to determine the value in use of the CGU as at December 31, 2020:
VendSys
Growth rate 2%
Discount rate 12%

The recoverable amount as of December 31, 2020 was greater than the carrying amount, and no impairment of goodwill was required.

The detailed calculation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated made as of December 31, 2020 was used in the impairment test of the unit as of December 31, 2021 since all of the following criteria were met:

  • A. The assets and liabilities making up the unit have not changed significantly since the most recent recoverable amount calculation.
  • B. The most recent recoverable amount calculation resulted in an amount that exceeded the carrying amount of the unit by a substantial margin; and
  • C. Based on an analysis of events that have occurred and circumstances that have changed since the most recent recoverable amount calculation, the likelihood that a current recoverable amount determination would be less than the current carrying amount of the unit is remote.
    1. Modularity and Nayax Retail- As part of the business combination for the purchase of Modularity Technologies Ltd. (hereinafter – "Modularity") the Company recognized intangible assets (goodwill) in the total amount of \$503 thousand. As part of the business combination related to the acquisition of Nayax Retail (see note 6a), the Company recognized intangible assets (goodwill) in the total amount of \$1,867 thousand.

The following key assumptions were used to determine the value in use of the CGUs as at December 31, 2020:

Retail (Nayax Retail and Modularity)

Growth rate 1.5%
Discount rate 18.4%

The detailed calculation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated made as of December 31, 2020 was used in the impairment test of the unit as of December 31, 2021 since all of the following criteria were met, as mentioned above.

NOTE 12 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued):

(a) Goodwill (continued):

  1. Weezmo - As part of the business combination related to the acquisition of Weezmo (see note 6b), intangible assets of goodwill at \$4,615 thousand were recognized.

The following key assumptions were used to determine the value in use of the CGUs as at December 31, 2021:

Weezmo
Growth rate 3%
Discount rate 18.9%

The recoverable amount is greater than the carrying amount, and no impairment of goodwill was required.

However, management obtained a waiver letter from the bank during 2020, stating that the Company was not required to comply with the financial covenants as of December 31, 2020, but will have to comply as of December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the loan was not payable on demand on December 31, 2020.

Additional Details on the Corporation

December 31, 2021

See Section 1.5 of the board report.

Regulation 10C: Use of the securities proceeds

On May 10, 2021, the Company published a Prospectus for the initial public offering of the Company's shares, in the framework of which it raised a total of ILS 462 million (about ILS 430.51 million net) (USD 141.6 million (gross) (USD 132.5 million net)) (the "Issue Proceeds"). Section 5.2 of the prospectus states that the Issue Proceeds under the Prospectus will be used by the Company to finance and expand the Group's business activities, in accordance with the resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors and taking into account the Company's business strategy, as in effect from time to time, and that in particular, the Issue Proceeds may be used to expand the Group's operations (including entering additional geographical areas and adapting products in the various territories), developing new products, repaying owner loans and conducting mergers and acquisitions as part of the Company's strategy to acquire companies that specialize in their field, in order to integrate them into the Group's activities. Also, it is noted in the Prospectus that the Company's Board of Directors may change the designations of using the proceeds set forth above, and the amounts to be used for each purpose, at its discretion.

The following are the amounts from the Issue Proceeds that in the Company's estimates shall be used for such purposes and the use that the Company actually made of the Issue Proceeds:

Anticipated use of Issue Proceeds
as in Company Prospectus
Amounts from Issue Proceeds
Company estimated in
Prospectus shall
be used for
anticipated uses
Actual use of Issue
Proceeds
Expanding Group activity (1) approx. ILS 180 million ILS 33.5 million
Developing new products (2) approx. ILS 105 million ILS 2.1 million
Repaying shareholder loans (3) approx. ILS 25.5 million* ILS 25.5 million
Activities M&A transactions (4) approx. ILS 120 million ILS 65 million

* The Prospectus states that this amount does not include amounts that the Company shall utilize from a credit facility provided to it by a controlling shareholder in the Company (as specified in Section 8.2.4 of Chapter 8 of the Prospectus and as specified in Regulation 22C(1) below).

(1) Expanding the Group's activity - As of the date of the IPO, the Company used an amount of ILS 33.5 million of the Issue Proceeds to finance the Group's operating expenses, which increased between the first half of 2021 and the second half of 2021 in the amount of ILS 17.5 million, of which ILS 10.9 million was used for expenses related to the increase in the Company's workforce, which is the basis for expanding the Group's operations in the coming years. Also, the increase in the Group's operating expenses was due to an increase in the price of many components used by the Company in the manufacture of its hardware products, some of them significant, due to the global shortage of components. The effect of this increase in the Company's operating expenses amounted to ILS 16 million in the second half of 2021. For additional details see Section 1.8.4 in Chapter A of this Report.

  • (2) Developing new products As of the date of the issue, ILS 2.1 million of the Issue Proceeds were used to increase research-and-development salary expenses as well as to increase the expenses of subcontractors belonging to this activity.
  • (3) Repaying shareholder loans After the issue, the Company repaid a loan provided to it by a controlling shareholder in the Company, in the amount of ILS 25.5 million. For details, see Regulation 22C(1) below.
  • (4) Activities M&A transactions An amount of ILS 65 million from the Issue Proceeds was used to purchase the shares of the following companies: Weezmo Technologies Ltd., Tigapo Ltd., Nayax Retail Ltd. and Niloos Ltd. For details, see Note 26 to the Financial Statements. This amount was also used to provide a loan of ILS 5.5 million to On Track Innovations Ltd (for details see Regulation 12(4) below).

put option (as this term is defined in Section 8.2.6.3 in Chapter 8 of the Company Prospectus).

    1. Until April 1, 2021, the controlling shareholders of the Company were Mr. Amir Nechmad, Mr. Yair Nechmad (including through Yair Nechmad Ltd.) and Mr. David Ben Avi in the shares of Dually. In accordance with the agreement signed between the controlling shareholders of the Company, the Company and Dually, and in accordance with the taxation decision in the agreement (ruling) made by the Israel Tax Authority, and after receiving the approval of the Company board and the shareholders' meeting of April 1, 2021, a structure change consisting of several stages was made on April 1, 2021 in accordance with the provisions of sections 104B, 103C and 104C of the Income Tax Ordinance [new version] whose final result was that all Dually shares were transferred to the Company (so Dually became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and that 281,202,800 dormant shares were created in the Company's capital (as defined in section 308(a) of the Companies Law). On April 1, 2021, the Company canceled the dormant shares as aforesaid.
    1. Dually (which until April 1, 2021 was held by the controlling shareholders of the Company, as specified in section 4 above) serves as a distributor of the Company's products in Israel. In addition, Dually provides clearing services to the Company's customers in Israel. On September 30, 2020, the Company and Dually entered into an agreement, according to which the Company provides Dually with management and loan services, operations services and software services. Dually's consideration to the Company under this agreement and under the license agreement set forth in Section 6 below in 2021 through April 1, 2021 was USD 900,000. This agreement is still in effect, but as of April 1, 2021, Dually is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer held by the controlling shareholders of the Company.
    1. On November 29, 2011, a license agreement was signed between the Company and Dually (which until April 1, 2021 was held by the Company's controlling shareholders, as set forth in Section 4 above) (as amended from time to time) (the "License Agreement") under which the Company granted Dually a license to use technology and equipment owned by the Company, which enable payment and remote control via credit cards and through cellular communication systems. The license is exclusive to the field of activity stipulated in the agreement and to the areas of the State of Israel. The License Agreement is effective from January 1, 2012, and will be automatically renewed for additional periods of 12 months each, unless one of the parties notifies the

other of its wish to terminate the agreement 60 days before the end of the relevant agreement period. This agreement is still in effect, but as of April 1, 2021, Dually is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer held by the controlling shareholders of the Company.

    1. As part of financing agreements between the Company and a banking corporation, Dually (which until April 1, 2021 was held by the controlling shareholders in the Company, as specified in Section 4 above) undertook various liabilities and also worked in favor of the banking corporation to secure various liabilities. For details, see Section 1.25.4 Chapter A. These undertakings by Dually are still in effect, but as of April 1, 2021, Dually is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer held by the controlling shareholders of the Company.
    1. Mr. David Ben-Avi, one of the Company's controlling shareholders, provided personal guarantees in favor of the lessor and sub-lessor under a lease and sublease agreement of the Company's offices in Herzliya. Following completion of the IPO, the Company released Mr. Ben Avi from said guarantee.

a. Exculpation and Indemnity

On May 4, 2021 and June 1, 2021, the Company's board of directors and general shareholders meeting approved granting letters of exculpation and indemnity in favor of the Company's directors and officers currently or from time to time serving, and in favor of officers currently or in the future service and currently or from time to time employed, on behalf of the Company in other corporations in which the Company holds any securities, directly and/or indirectly ("Different Corporation"). In the framework of the letters of indemnity and exculpation, the Company undertook to indemnify the foregoing for any liability or expense and/or reasonable litigation expenses, as set forth in the letter of indemnity, which shall be imposed thereon due to their actions, by virtue of their being officers in the Company and/or officers or employees on behalf of the Company in a Different Corporation, provided the maximum indemnity amount for financial liabilities to be imposed on the foregoing following a judgement (including a

judgement given in a settlement or arbitral ruling that was approved by the court) shall not exceed (cumulatively for all the officers, in a single case and cumulatively for all cases) an amount equal to 25% of the Company's fixed equity (the "Maximum Indemnity Amount"). In this respect, the "Company's Determining Equity" means the Company's equity amount pursuant to the Company's most recent audited or reviewed (as applicable) consolidated financial statements, as they shall be on the date the indemnifiable event occurred. It is clarified that the indemnity shall apply beyond the amount to be paid (if any) in the framework of the D&O liability insurance that the Company purchased or shall purchase from time to time.

In addition, in the framework of the letters of indemnity and exculpation, the Company released the foregoing from any liability towards it (to the extent that this is permitted under law), with respect to any damage that it shall sustain by the foregoing, through their actions by virtue of their being officers in the Company and/or officers or employees on behalf of the Company in a Different Corporation, following a violation of the duty of care (except for damage due to a violation of the duty of care in distribution (as defined in the Companies Law) except for additional damage set forth in the letter of indemnity).
