D. RISK FACTORS
Our business, operating results and financial condition could be
seriously harmed due to any of the following risks, among others. If we do not successfully address the risks to which we are subject,
we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our share price may decline,
which may result in a loss of all or part of your investment. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address any of these risks.
You should carefully consider the following factors as well as the other information contained in this annual report before making any
investment decision with respect to our securities.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Failure to maintain our existing relationships or establish new relationships
with insurance companies or car manufacturers could adversely affect our revenues and growth potential.
Revenues from our stolen vehicle recovery services, which we refer to as SVR services
(“SVR”) and automatic vehicle location (“AVL”) products, which we refer to as telematics products,
are primarily dependent on our relationships with insurance companies and car manufacturers. In Israel, insurance companies drive demand
for our SVR services and telematics products by encouraging and, in some cases, requiring customers to subscribe to vehicle location services
and purchase vehicle location products such as ours. Our subsidiaries enter into agreements with insurance companies to subscribe
to our services and purchase or lease our products directly. Our inability to maintain our existing relationships or establish new relationships
with insurance companies could adversely affect our revenues and growth potential. In some of the territories in which we operate, we
have business relationships with car manufacturers. Our inability to maintain our existing relationships or establish new relationships
with car manufacturers could adversely affect our revenues and growth potential.
Changes in insurance company practices in the markets in which we
provide our products and services could adversely affect our revenues and growth potential.
We depend on insurance company practices in the markets in which we provide our SVR
services and sell our telematics products. In Israel, insurance companies either mandate the use of SVR services by use of telematics
products, or their equivalent, as a prerequisite for providing insurance coverage to owners of certain medium- and high-end vehicles or
provide insurance premium discounts to encourage vehicle owners to subscribe to services and purchase products such as ours. For our subsidiaries
in Brazil and Argentina, insurance companies mainly lease our telematics products directly and subsequently require their customers to
subscribe to our SVR services.
Therefore, we rely on insurance companies’ continued practice of:
■ accepting vehicle location and recovery technology as a preferred security product;
■ requiring or providing a premium discount for using location and recovery services and products; and
■ mandating or encouraging use of our SVR services and telematics products, or similar services and products, for vehicles with the same or similar threshold values and for the same or similar required duration of use.
If any of these policies or practices change, revenues from sales of our SVR services
and telematics products could decline, which could adversely affect our revenues and growth potential.
1
A reduction in vehicle theft rates may adversely impact demand for
our SVR services and telematics products.
Demand for our SVR services and telematics products depends primarily on prevailing
or expected vehicle theft rates. Vehicle theft rates may decline as a result of various reasons, such as the availability of improved
security systems, implementation of improved or more effective law enforcement measures, or improved economic or political conditions
in markets that have high theft rates. If vehicle theft rates in any or all of our existing markets decline, or if insurance companies
or our other customers believe that vehicle theft rates have declined or are expected to decline, demand for our SVR services and telematics
products may decline.
A decline in new car sales in the markets in which we operate could
result in reduced demand for our SVR services and telematics products.
Our SVR services and telematics products are primarily used to protect vehicles and
are often installed before or immediately after their initial sale. Consequently, a reduction in new vehicle sales could reduce our addressable
market for SVR services and telematics products. New car sales may decline for various reasons, including an increase in new car tariffs,
taxes or gas and electricity prices. A decline in vehicle production levels or labor disputes affecting the automobile industry in the
markets where we operate may also impact the volume of new vehicle sales. A decline in new car sales in the markets in which we provide
our SVR services or sell our telematics products could result in reduced demand for these services and products.
There is significant competition in the markets in which we offer
our services and products and our results of operations could be adversely affected if we fail to compete successfully.
The markets for our services and products are highly competitive. We compete primarily
on the basis of the technological innovation, quality and price of our services and products. Our most competitive market is the telematics
services market and the related telematics products market, due to the existence of a wide variety of competing services and products
and alternative technologies that offer various levels of protection and tracking capabilities. Furthermore, providers of competing services
or products may extend their offerings to the locations in which we operate, or new competitors may enter the telematics services market.
Our telematics products also compete with less sophisticated theft protection devices such as standard car alarms, immobilizers, steering
wheel locks and homing devices, some of which may be significantly cheaper. Some of these competing products have greater brand recognition
than our telematics products.
The development of new or improved competitive products, systems
or technologies that compete with our telematics products may render our products less competitive or obsolete, which could cause a decline
in our revenues and profitability.
We are engaged in businesses characterized by rapid technological change and frequent
new product developments and enhancements. The number of companies developing and marketing new telematics products has expanded considerably
in recent years. The development of new or improved products, systems or technologies that compete with our telematics products, for both
our SVR and fleet management services, may render our products and services less competitive and we may not be able to enhance our technology
in a timely manner. In addition to the competition resulting from new products, systems or technologies, our future product enhancements
may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant
revenues. Any of the foregoing could cause a decline in our revenues and profitability.
The inability of local law enforcement agencies to timely and effectively
recover the stolen vehicles we locate could negatively impact customers’ perception of the usefulness of our SVR services and telematics
products, adversely affecting our revenues.
Our telematics products identify the location of vehicles in which our products are
installed. Following a notification of an unauthorized entry, or if we receive notification of the vehicle’s theft from a subscriber,
we notify the relevant law enforcement agency of the location of the subscriber’s vehicle and generally rely on local law enforcement
or governmental agencies to recover the stolen vehicle. We cannot control nor predict the response time of the relevant local law enforcement
or other governmental agencies responsible for recovering stolen vehicles, nor that the stolen vehicles, once located, will be recovered
at all. In the past, some stolen vehicles in which our telematics products were installed were not recovered on timely manner, from the
time an unauthorized entry is confirmed or reported to the time the vehicle is recovered. To the extent that the relevant agencies do
not effectively and timely respond to our calls and recover stolen vehicles, our recovery rates would likely diminish, which may, in turn,
negatively impact customers’ perception of the usefulness of our SVR services and telematics products, adversely affecting our revenues.
2
The ability to detect, deactivate, disable or otherwise inhibit the
effectiveness of our telematics products could adversely affect demand for these products and adversely affect our revenues.
The effectiveness of our telematics products is dependent, in part, on the inability
of unauthorized persons to deactivate or otherwise alter the functioning of our telematics products or the vehicle anti-theft devices
that work in conjunction with our telematics products. As sales of our telematics products increase, criminals in the markets in which
we operate may become increasingly aware of our telematics products and may develop methods or technologies to detect, deactivate or disable
our tracking devices or the vehicle anti-theft devices that work in conjunction with our telematics products. We believe that, as is the
case with any product intended to prevent vehicle theft, over time, there may be an increased ability of unauthorized persons to detect,
deactivate, disable or otherwise inhibit the effectiveness of our telematics products, although it is difficult to verify this fact. An
increase in the ability of unauthorized persons to detect, deactivate, disable or otherwise inhibit the effectiveness of our telematics
products could adversely affect demand for our products and adversely affect our revenues.
We rely on some intellectual property and licenses that we license
from third parties, the loss of which could preclude us from providing our SVR services or market and sell some of our telematics products,
which would adversely affect our costs, revenues and profitability.
We license from third parties some of the technology that we need in order to provide
our SVR services and market and sell some of our telematics products. In the event that such licenses were to be terminated, or if such
licenses were rendered unenforceable or invalid and we would not be able to license similar technology from other parties, it would require
us, at a minimum, to obtain rights to a different technology and reconfigure our telematics products accordingly. In addition, some of
the licenses we obtained from third parties are non-exclusive, which may enable other entities to obtain identical licenses from such
third parties to operate in the places in which we conduct our business resulting in increased competition and could adversely affect
our revenues. Our ability to sell some of our services and products depends upon the prior receipt and maintenance of various governmental
licenses and approvals and our failure to obtain or maintain such licenses and approvals, or third-party use of the same licenses and
frequencies, could result in a disruption or curtailment of our operations, a significant increase in costs and a decline in revenues.
We are required to obtain specific licenses and approvals from various governmental
authorities in order to conduct our operations. For example, some of our telematics products use radio frequencies that are licensed and
renewed periodically from the Ministry of Communications in Israel and similar agencies worldwide. As we continue to expand into additional
markets, we might be required to obtain new permits and approvals from relevant governmental authorities. Furthermore, once our telematics
infrastructure is deployed and our telematics end-units are sold to subscribers, a change in radio frequencies would require us to recalibrate
all of our antennas and replace or modify all end-units held by subscribers, which would be costly and may result in delays in the provision
of our SVR services. In addition, some of the governmental licenses for radio frequencies that we currently use may be preempted by third
parties. In Israel, our license is designated as a “joint” license, allowing the government to grant third parties a license
to use the same frequencies, and in Brazil our license is designated as a “secondary”, non-exclusive license, which allows
the government to grant a third party a primary license to use such frequencies, which third-party use could adversely affect, disrupt
or curtail our operations. Our inability to maintain necessary governmental licenses and frequency approvals, or third-party use of or
interference with the same licenses or frequencies, could result in a significant increase in costs and decline in revenues and profitability.
Our SVR services business model is based on the existence of certain
conditions, the loss or lack of which in existing or potential markets could adversely affect our revenues and our growth potential.
Our SVR services business model and, consequently, our ability to provide our SVR services
and sell our telematics products, relies on our ability to successfully identify markets in which:
■ the rate of car theft or consumer concern over vehicle safety is high; and
■ insurance companies, car manufacturers or car owners belief in the value of vehicles justifying incurring the expenses associated with the deployment of SVR services.
The absence of these conditions, our inability to locate markets in which these conditions
exist or the loss of any one of these conditions in markets we currently serve could adversely affect our revenues generated in existing
markets and our growth potential.
The loss of key personnel could adversely affect our business and
growth prospects.
Our success depends upon the efforts and abilities of key management personnel, including
our Co-Chief Executive Officers. Loss of the services of one or more of such key personnel could adversely affect our ability to
execute our business plan. In addition, we believe that our future success depends in part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate
qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business. If one or more members of our management team or other key technical
personnel become unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, and if additional key personnel cannot be hired and retained
as needed, our business and growth prospects could be adversely affected.
3
We rely on third parties to manufacture our telematics products,
which could affect our ability to provide these products in a timely and cost-effective manner, adversely impacting our revenues and profit
margins.
We outsource the manufacturing of a significant part of our telematics products to third
parties. We use manufacturers for production of our telematics products and we do not maintain significant levels of inventories to support
us in the event of unexpected interruptions in the products manufacturing process. If our principal manufacturer or any of our other manufacturers
is unable to or fails to manufacture our products in a timely manner, we may not be able to secure alternative manufacturing facilities
without experiencing an interruption in the supply of our products or an increase in production costs. Any such interruption or increase
in production costs could affect our ability to provide our telematics products in a timely and cost-effective manner, adversely impacting
our revenues and profit margins.
We rely on three major suppliers to supply us with various products
and software. Each of these suppliers supply us with different types of products and services and acts as single supplier of these products
and services.
We rely on three major suppliers to supply us with various products and software, one
of which is our subsidiary (E.R.M. Electronic Systems Ltd).. Each of these suppliers supply us with different types of products and software
and acts as the single supplier of these products and services. Termination of relations with one of our major suppliers would adversely
affect our operations and revenues.
We depend on the use of specialized quality assurance testing equipment
to produce our telematics products, the loss or unavailability of which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We and our third-party manufacturers use specialized quality assurance testing equipment
in the production of our telematics products. The replacement of any such equipment as a result of its failure or loss could result in
a disruption of our production process or an increase in costs, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
The rapid development of artificial intelligence may negatively
effect our business
The rapid development and increasing use of artificial intelligence("AI")
technologies across the industries we operate in may create risks and uncertainties that could effect our business. Competitors, collaborators
or other third parties may adopt tools that improve the speed, cost, or effectiveness of our services. We may face new challenges
especially in the sphere of misinformation and manipulation, data privacy issue and cybersecurity threats, data integrity ,confidentiality,
intellectual property ownership or regulatory compliance. The legal and regulatory landscape governing AI technology is evolving and may
impose additional obligations or costs on industry participants. The broader proliferation of AI may indirectly effect our business, financial
conditions, results of operations, or competitive position...
The adoption of industry standards that do not incorporate the technology
we use may decrease or eliminate the demand for our services or products and could harm our results of operations.
There are no established industry standards in all of the businesses in which we sell
our telematics products. For example, vehicle location devices may operate by employing various technologies, including network triangulation,
GPS, satellite-based or network-based cellular or direction-finding homing systems. The development of industry standards that do not
incorporate the technology we use may decrease or eliminate the demand for our services or products and we may not be able to develop
new services and products that are in compliance with such new industry standards on a cost-effective basis. If industry standards develop
and such standards do not incorporate our telematics products and we are unable to effectively adapt to such new standards, such development
could harm our results of operations.
Expansion of our operations to new markets involves risks and our
failure to manage such risks may delay or preclude our ability to generate anticipated revenues and may impede our overall growth strategy.
We anticipate future growth to be attributable to our business activities in new markets,
particularly in developing countries, where we may encounter additional risks and challenges, such as longer payment cycles, potentially
adverse tax consequences, potential difficulties in collecting receivables and potential difficulties in enforcing agreements or other
rights in foreign legal systems. The challenges and risks of entering a new market may delay or preclude our ability to generate anticipated
revenues and may impede our overall growth strategy.
Part of our services rely on GPS/GPRS-based technology owned and
controlled by others, the loss, impairment or increased expense of which could negatively impact our immediate and future revenues from,
or growth of, our services and adversely affect our results of operations.
Part of our business relies on signals from GPS/GPRS satellites built and maintained
by third parties. If GPS/GPRS satellites become unavailable to us, or if the costs associated with using GPS/GPRS technology increase
such that it is no longer feasible or cost-effective for us to use such technology, we will not be able to adequately provide our services.
In addition, if one or more GPS/GPRS satellites malfunction, there could be a substantial delay before such satellites are repaired or
replaced, if at all. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could negatively impact our immediate and future revenues from, or
growth of, our telematics services and adversely affect our results of operations.
4
Material cybersecurity failure may harm our operations, which rely
on use of information technology and wireless transmission.
Our telematics and SVR and cloud services, relies on the use of information technology
which under a major cyber security breach, could harm our operations. We are using physical services, wireless transmitting stations,
GPRS/GPS, and in lesser account cloud computing to provide our services. There are risks associated with storing and transmitting data,
which due to cyber security breach may be corrupted, and the store data on remote servers may be destroyed, damaged, seized, or otherwise
no longer accessible, which may temporarily decrease our ability to deliver telematics and SVR services.
We implemented cyber security controls – which consists of three pillars: prevention,
detection and response (data recovery in the event of a cyber breach). We perform an ongoing review of our systems and an annual external
review of our cyber security controls and their implementation. However, such cyber security controls may not be able to prevent all unexpected
weaknesses. In the event of a cyber-attack, we could experience the corruption or loss of data, misappropriation of assets or sensitive
information, including customer information, or operational disruption. This could result in response costs and various financial loss
and may subject us to litigation and cause damage to our reputation, for which we may not be covered under our current insurance policies
and may lead to substantial loss of revenues.
Some of our employees in our subsidiaries in Brazil and Argentina
are members of labor unions and a dispute between us and any such labor union could result in a labor strike that could delay or preclude
altogether our ability to generate revenues in the markets where such employees are located.
Some of our employees in our subsidiaries in Brazil and Argentina are members of labor
unions. If a labor dispute were to develop between us and our unionized employees, such employees could go on strike and we could suffer
work stoppage for a significant period of time. A labor dispute can be difficult to resolve and may require us to seek arbitration for
resolution, which arbitration can be time consuming, distracting to management, expensive and difficult to predict. The occurrence of
a labor dispute with our unionized employees could delay or preclude altogether our ability to generate revenues in the markets where
such employees are located.
Inflation and shortage of semiconductor and other critical components
supplies.
In periods of shortages impacting the semiconductor industry such as during year 2022,
we have placed and may continue to place, non-cancellable inventory orders in advance of our historical lead times, and pay premiums and/or
provide deposits to secure future supply and capacity.. However, we may not be able to accurately predict when such periods of shortage
will end, nor do we know whether those inventory orders accurately address our current and future demand needs. These actions increased
some of our product costs.
We may encounter growing inflation rates and growing interest rates in the main territories
where we operate. This may cause and additional costs to our financing and operations. This environment may have a potential negative
impact on our results, as long as it sustains. We did not encounter this issue materially in year 2025.
Regional or Global Health Pandemic
A regional or a global health pandemic, such as COVID-19, could severely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition due to impacts on our suppliers and customers, as well as impacts from remote work
arrangements.
Currency fluctuations may result in valuation adjustments in our
assets and liabilities and could cause our results of operations to decline.
The valuation of our assets and liabilities, our revenues received, and the related
expenses incurred are not always denominated in the same currency. This lack of correlation between revenues and expenses exposes us to
risks resulting from currency fluctuations. These currency fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, such
currency fluctuations take place in several countries in which we operate which affects our operation results in these countries. In addition,
fluctuations in currencies may result in valuation adjustments in our assets and liabilities which could cause our results of operations
to decline.
5
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL
We are headquartered in Israel and therefore our results of operations
may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.
Our headquarters are located in Israel and most our key employees, officers and directors
are residents of Israel. Accordingly, security, political and economic conditions in Israel directly affect our business. Over the past
several decades, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbours. During the recent years Israel was
engaged in an armed conflicts with a militant group and political party who controls the Gaza Strip. These conflicts involved missile
strikes against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, including areas in which our employees and some of our consultants are located,
and may negatively affect business conditions in Israel.
On October 7th,
2023, Hamas terrorist organization has launched an horrific hostile military assault against Israel. Hamas has murdered 795 civilians,
373 soldiers, policemen and foreigners and kidnapped more than 230 into the Gaza Strip. On that day, where militant groups
launched a surprise attack on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, marking the start of a most significant military escalation
in the region. After clearing Hamas militants, the Israeli retribution war actions against Hamas which started from October 8th
with more than 250,000 Israeli soldiers recruited from reserve military retaliated by conducting an extensive aerial bombardment campaign
on Hamas targets, followed by a large-scale ground military act on Gaza. The aforementioned was also coupled with military
actions taken on the Northern part of Israel against the Hasbullah from Lebanon which later turned into full scale fighting. Moreover
during 2024 Iran has launched several missiles and ballistic missiles attacks against Israel to which Israel retaliated. During
June 2025 there were intense military actions, including missiles, between Israel and Iran (12 days) with much damage caused to civil
residential, hospital and research institute (Weizman) with dozens of casualties and destruction. During March-April 2026
there are again intense military actions, including missiles, between Israel and Iran. We were not significantly affected by the aforementioned
hostile and military actions. Continued or increased hostilities, future armed conflicts, political developments in other states in the
region or continued or increased terrorism could make it more difficult for us to conduct our operations in Israel, which could increase
our costs and adversely affect our financial results.
Furthermore, there are number of countries, primarily in the Middle East, that still
restrict business with Israel or Israeli companies and as a result our company is precluded from marketing its products in these countries.
Restrictive laws or policies directed toward Israel or Israeli businesses could have an adverse effect on our ability to grow our business
and our results of operations.
The Israeli government during year 2023 - 2025 pursued extensive changes to Israel’s
judicial system. This has sparked extensive political debate. In response to the foregoing developments, many individuals, organizations
and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed changes may negatively impact the business
environment in Israel, due to potential reluctance of foreign investors to invest or transact business in Israel, increased currency fluctuations,
downgrades in credit rating which already occurred twice, increased interest rates, increased volatility in securities markets, and other
changes in macroeconomic conditions. To the extent that any of these negative developments occur, they may have an adverse effect on our
business, our results of operations, or our ability to raise additional funds.
Under Israeli law, we are considered a “monopoly” and
therefore subject to certain restrictions that may negatively impact our ability to grow our business in Israel.
We have been declared a monopoly under the Israeli Economy competition Law (formerly
known as Restrictive Trade Practices Law, 1988) (the “Israeli Antitrust Law”), in the market for the provision of systems
for the location of vehicles. Under Israeli law, a monopoly is prohibited from taking certain actions, such as predatory pricing and the
provision of loyalty discounts, which prohibitions do not apply to other companies. The Israeli antitrust authority (under its new name
- Competition Authority) may further declare that we have abused our position in the market. Any such declaration in any suit in which
it is claimed that we engage in anti-competitive conduct would serve as prima facie evidence
that we are a monopoly or that we have engaged in anti-competitive behaviour. Furthermore, we may be ordered to take or refrain from taking
certain actions, such as set maximum prices, in order to protect against unfair competition. If we breach certain provisions of the Israeli
Antitrust Law, including as a monopoly, the Israeli Competition authority may also impose on us in an administrative procedure, financial
sanctions in an amount of up to the lower of NIS 121 million (approximately $37.9 million, or 8% of our annual revenues for the last financial
year prior to such breach. Restraints on our operations as a result of being considered a “monopoly” in Israel could adversely
affect our ability to grow our business in Israel.
It may be difficult and costly to enforce a judgment issued in the
United States against us, our executive officers and directors, or to assert United States securities laws claims in Israel or serve process
on our officers and directors.
We are incorporated and headquartered in Israel. As a result, our executive officers
and directors are non-residents of the United States and a substantial portion of our assets, and the assets of these persons are located
outside of the United States. Therefore, service of process upon any of these officers or directors may be difficult to effect in the
United States. Furthermore, it may be difficult to enforce a judgment issued against us in the United States or any of such persons in
both United States courts and other courts abroad.
Additionally, there is doubt as to the enforceability of civil liabilities under United
States federal securities laws in actions originally instituted in Israel or in actions for the enforcement of a judgment obtained in
the United States on the basis of civil liabilities in Israel.
6
Provisions of Israeli corporate and tax law may delay, prevent or
otherwise encumber a merger with, or an acquisition of, our company, which could prevent a change of control, even when the terms of such
transaction are favourable to us and our shareholders.
We may be subject to Israeli corporate law which regulates mergers, requires tender
offers for acquisitions of shares above specified thresholds, requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers
or significant shareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions. In addition, our articles
of association contain, among other things, provisions that may make it more difficult to acquire our company, such as classified board
provisions and certain restrictions on the members of our board pursuant to regulatory requirements of the Israeli Ministry of Communication.
Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transaction structures involving the acquisition of our company unappealing
to us or to some of our shareholders. See Item 10.B. – “Memorandum and Articles of Association” - “Our Corporate
Practices under the Israeli Companies Law” under the caption “Approval of Transactions under Israeli law” and Item 10.E.
– “Taxation” under the caption “Israeli Tax Considerations” for additional discussion of some anti-takeover
effects of Israeli law. These provisions of Israeli law and our articles of association may delay, prevent or otherwise encumber a merger
with, or an acquisition of, our company or any of our assets, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control
of our company, even when the terms of such a transaction could be favourable to our shareholders.
The rights and responsibilities of our shareholders will be governed
by Israeli law and may differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders under United States law.
We are incorporated under Israeli law. The rights and responsibilities of holders of
our ordinary shares are governed by our memorandum of association, articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities
differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in typical US-based corporations. In particular, a shareholder
of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his, her or
its power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters., There is
little case law available to assist in understanding the implications of these provisions that govern shareholders’ actions, which
may be interpreted to impose additional obligations on holders of our ordinary shares that are typically not imposed on shareholders of
US-based corporations.
GENERAL RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORDINARY SHARES AND THE ECONOMY
Future sales of our ordinary shares could reduce the market price
of our ordinary shares.
If we or our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq
Global Select Market, the market price of our ordinary shares may decline.
The market price of our ordinary shares is subject to fluctuation,
which could result in substantial losses for our investors.
The stock market in general, and the market price of our ordinary shares in particular,
are subject to fluctuation, and changes in our share price may be unrelated to our operating performance. The market price of our ordinary
shares may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including:
■ the gain or loss of significant orders or customers;
■ recruitment or departure of key personnel;
■ the announcement of new products or service enhancements by us or our competitors;
■ quarterly variations in our or our competitors' results of operations;
■ announcements related to litigation;
■ changes in earnings estimates, investors' perceptions, recommendations by securities analysts or our failure to achieve analysts' earnings estimates;
■ developments in our industry;
■ general market conditions and other factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.
These factors and price fluctuations may materially and adversely
affect the market price of our ordinary shares and result in substantial losses to our investors.
7
Somewhat significant portion of our ordinary shares are held by a
small number of existing shareholders and our articles of association provide for a staggered board, which may hinder change of control.
Moked Ituran Ltd. currently beneficially owns approximately 19.52% of our outstanding
ordinary shares (not including treasury stock held by us). Other than applicable regulatory requirements under applicable law, Moked Ituran
Ltd., is not prohibited from selling an interest in our company to a third party. In addition, our articles of association provide for
a staggered board which may delay, prevent or deter a change in control. For additional information concerning our staggered board, see
