In examining the revenue recognition policies forAGRI-FINTECH HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Tingo, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company has revised its accounting treatment of asset classifications and costs associated with the operating leases for its mobile phone devices.

In view of the changes noted above, this Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 (“Amended 10-Q”) supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 22, 2022 (“Original Filing”).

This Amended 10-Q does not reflect events occurring after the Original Filing except as noted above. Except for the information concerning the change in accounting treatment for the items described above, this Amended 10-Q continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing and the Company has not otherwise updated disclosures contained therein or herein to reflect events that occurred at a later date.

(1)Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of BusinessTingo,Agri-Fintech Holdings, Inc. (collectively, with our subsidiary, “we,, formerly known as ‘Tingo, Inc.’ (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Tingo” and the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 17, 2015.

On July 27, 2023, we converted one of these series of Preferred Stock into 26,043,808 additional shares of TIO common stock. If we convert the remainder of the Preferred Stock, our shareholding in TIO will be equal to 75.0% of TIO’s outstanding common stock, calculated as of the date of the sale of Tingo Mobile. Importantly, because we expect to hold 75.0% of the outstanding TIO common stock at some point during 2023, this report will discuss the historical operations of Tingo Mobile as a share exchangeformer subsidiary of the Company, and will discuss the future operations of Tingo Mobile, including the discussion of Risk Factors below, as a pending subsidiary of the Company.

(2)Entry Into Merger Agreement with MICT, Inc.

On October 6, 2022, the Company, MICT, Inc. (“MICT”), and representatives of each company’s shareholders entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Restated Merger Agreement”).  The common stock of MICT is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ‘MICT’.  The Restated Merger Agreement is the second restatement of the agreement and the result of efforts of Tingo and MICT to restructure the transaction as a multi-phase forward triangular merger (“Merger”) instead of as a reverse triangular merger as previously agreed.  Under the terms of the Restated Merger Agreement, Tingo will create a newly-formed subsidiary incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Tingo BVI Sub”) to facilitate the Merger and hold the Company’s beneficial ownership interest in Tingo Mobile.  MICT will also create a subsidiary incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“MICT BVI Sub”), which will be merged with and into Tingo BVI Sub, with MICT BVI Sub as the surviving corporation and a subsidiary of MICT.  The Merger will, therefore, result in Tingo Mobile becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MICT, and the operations of Tingo Mobile, as an agri-fintech company, becoming the predominant operations of MICT. The aggregate consideration tendered by MICT to Tingo, the sole shareholder of Tingo Mobile, will consist of: (i) newly-issued common stock of MICT equal to 19.9% of its outstanding shares, calculated immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger; and (ii) two series of convertible preferred shares – Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the “MICT Preferred Shares”).  The conversion of the MICT Preferred Shares is subject to various conditions, including approval of MICT’s shareholders and, in the case of the MICT Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, is also subject to Nasdaq approving a change of control of MICT.  If all of the MICT Preferred Shares are converted into MICT common stock, Tingo will hold 75.0% of the outstanding shares of MICT.  A summary of the Restated Merger Agreement and the actions taken by the Company and MICT in connection therewith are included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2022.  On November 9, 2022, we filed a definitive Information Statement to provide information to our shareholders about the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby.

(3)Change in Accounting Treatment

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2022, in preparation for the planned merger described in Note 2 above, the Company reviewed and considered its accounting treatment of its Acquisition of Tingo Mobile on August 15, 2021. Based on this review, the Company elected to modify its accounting treatment of the Acquisition as a reverse acquisition of the Company by Tingo Mobile instead of as a forward acquisition of Tingo Mobile by the Company as had been previously presented.

Accordingly, the financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with reverse acquisition accounting rules, which therefore include the consolidated operating results of Tingo Mobile for the full periods presented, rather than using forward acquisition accounting.

(4)Significant Accounting Policies

Reverse Acquisition Accounting—We have adopted reverse acquisition accounting methods in connection with the Company’s Acquisition of Tingo Mobile.Mobile in 2021. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements includereflect the results of Tingo Mobile for the periodsPredecessor Periods indicated in this Report.

(2)Sale of Tingo Mobile

Overview. On December 1, 2022, we sold Tingo Mobile, our sole operating subsidiary, to Tingo Group, Inc. (formerly known as MICT, Inc.), a Delaware corporation whose common shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ‘TIO’. The sale was accomplished via a multi-phase forward triangular merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement we entered into with TIO and representatives of each of the shareholders of the Company and TIO, we contributed our ownership of Tingo Mobile to a newly organized holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Tingo BVI Sub”). We then merged Tingo BVI Sub with and into MICT Fintech Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIO also incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“MICT Fintech”), resulting in Tingo Mobile being wholly-owned by TIO as a third-tier subsidiary (hereinafter, the “Merger”).

Consideration Received. As consideration for the Merger, we received the following:

Common and Preferred Stock. At the closing of the Merger, we received 25,783,675 shares of newly-issued common stock of TIO equal to 19.9% of its outstanding shares, calculated as of the closing date of the Merger, and two series of convertible preferred shares – Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). On July 27, 2023, we converted our Series A Preferred Stock into 26,042,808 shares of TIO common stock.
Undertaking to Pay Certain Liabilities of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we also received an undertaking from TIO to pay certain liabilities and accounts payable of the Company as of November 30, 2022, as well as certain other expenses relating to the maintenance of our reporting status under the Securities Exchange Act for the one-year period following the Merger. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the amount due to us pursuant to this undertaking was approximately $3.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively. This amount is set forth below as ‘Due from Related Party’ under Note 7 – Loans and Other Receivables – Related Parties.

Key Terms of Series B Preferred Stock. Upon approval by Nasdaq of the change of control of TIO and upon the approval of TIO’s stockholders, the Series B Preferred Stock will convert into 35.0% of the outstanding shares of TIO common stock, calculated as of the closing date of the Merger, giving the Company an aggregate ownership of 75.0% of TIO’s outstanding common stock. If such shareholder or Nasdaq approval is not obtained by September 30, 2023, we will have the right to cause TIO to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock for either of the following, at our option: (x) $667 million in cash or, (y) a 33.0% ownership interest in Tingo Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware-incorporated subsidiary of TIO ("TGH"). TGH is the immediate parent of MICT Fintech, which is the sole shareholder of Tingo Mobile.

Temporary Investment Company Status. Effective upon the closing of the Merger, the Company became subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Under the 1940 Act, any issuer of securities that has more than 100 beneficial owners and holds investment securities that exceed more than 40% of the value of the issuer’s unconsolidated assets is considered an ‘investment company’ and is therefore subject to various requirements of the 1940 Act, unless an exemption therefrom is applicable. Rule 3a-2 permits issuers such as the Company, to be “deemed not to be engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities” for up to one year from the date that the 1940 Act would have technically applied if (i) the issuer’s business activities are inconsistent with those of an investment company, and (ii) the issuer’s governing board passes a resolution stating the issuer’s “bona fide intent to be engaged primarily, as soon as is reasonably possible” to be “in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities” within such one year period. Because the Company is actively involved in acquiring operating assets or otherwise developing other operating businesses, its present activities are inconsistent with those of an investment company. Moreover, inasmuch as the Company expects to effect a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock no later than September 30, 2023 and, therefore, consolidate the operations of TIO and its subsidiaries with the Company’s own operations, the Company has expressed its bona fide intent to be in a business other than that of an investment company.

(3)Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of our financial statements:

Consolidation—In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, we do not consolidate equity interests we hold in other entities. Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, codified in ASC 946, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, except that ASC 946 provides for the consolidation of a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to the investment company or its consolidated subsidiaries.

Valuation of Our Holdings in TIO—In connection with the sale of Tingo Mobile to TIO, we received shares of TIO common stock and two series of convertible preferred stock of TIO, one of which series which has since been converted into TIO common stock. The shares of TIO common stock are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ‘TIO’. Because, at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, more than 40% of the value of our unconsolidated assets consists of ‘investment securities’ (as such term is defined pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), we are considered an ‘investment company’ under the 1940 Act and, as a result, we are required to assess the fair value of our holding in TIO.

Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3—Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information under the circumstances and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

Management Considerations. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset. In the case of Tingo, we assessed the nature of our holding of common and convertible Preferred Stock in TIO and considered certain factors which, in management’s view, made this holding a Level 2 asset, including the following:

the lack of institutional trading in TIO common stock; and
the conditions associated with conversion of the TIO Preferred Stock into TIO common stock.

With respect to the last point above, we consider it significant that, should conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock not occur by September 30, 2023, we can require TIO to redeem these shares in exchange for (1) a cash payment obligation of $667 million or, in the alternative, (2) 35% ownership in TGH valued at $667 million, which imputes an underlying equity value of Tingo Mobile that is substantially higher than the TIO common and TIO Preferred stock on an as-converted basis.

Determination of Fair Value. In view of the foregoing analysis and in accordance with ASC 820 and ASC 805, we calculated a fair value of the consideration we received in connection with the Merger at $1,215,241,000. ASC 820 requires that fair value to maximize objective evidence and be determined using assumptions that a market participant would use, and when level 1 inputs exist, it should be used unless determined to be not representative. That would have meant using the unadjusted TIO quoted price at the time of completion of the Merger. We are of the opinion however, that the TIO market value per share price as quoted on Nasdaq as of the closing date of the Merger was not representative of the fair value and should not be used to determine the merger consideration. Using

market value per share of TIO would have led to a significant realized loss as well as other valuation anomalies that it created. Hence, and in accordance with ASC 805-30-30-5, we reassessed the determination of the consideration transferred and determined that the use of the quoted price of our Class A common stock on the OTC at market close is more appropriate in determining the consideration fair value..

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these financial statements and related notes are reasonable in light of known facts and circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Share— Basic and diluted per share calculations are computed utilizing the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Pursuant to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted in 2021, in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the unvested shares of restricted stock awarded in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 pursuant to our equity compensation plans are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the basic earnings per share calculation.

Share-Based Compensation—We account for share-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, we measure the grant date fair value based upon the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant and amortize the fair value of the awards as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. For all share-based awards that are not subject to vesting, we recognize expense associated with the award during the period in which the award is granted, in an amount equal to the number of shares granted, multiplied by the closing trading price of the shares on the relevant grant date. Determining the appropriate fair value of share-based awards requires the use of subjective assumptions, particularly given that the Company’s common stock is not actively traded. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards representsrepresent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, share-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

Classes of Common Stock—The Company has two classes of common stock. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one (1) vote, and is entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the board of directors out of assets legally available therefore. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten (10) votes, but carries no dividend, distribution, liquidation, conversion, or economic rights of any kind.

Retained Earnings— The components that make up distributable earnings for the Successor Period and the Predecessor Period on the Company’s Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

During the Predecessor Period, the total value of common stock. Each share of Class A common stockthe twelve-month mobile leasing contract was recognized under accounts receivable at the outset. The balance is entitled to one (1) vote,due and payable and is entitledcredited as receipts are received from the customers. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to receive dividends whendetermine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, economic conditions, and if declared byour historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. Tingo Mobile includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the boardreceivable is written off against the allowance. Given the manner in which Tingo Mobile bundles its services with its branded phones, it does not typically incur a substantial amount of directors out of assets legally available therefor. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten (10) votes, but carries no dividend, distribution, liquidation, conversion, or economic rights of any kind.

Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsIn accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, theThe Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. There was no impairment of long-lived assets duringfor the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and June 30, 2021.2022.

Income Taxes—The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the accounting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets are computed using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. AtAs of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, there were no uncertain tax positions that required accrual.

The income of a foreign subsidiary is not necessarily subject to U.S. tax, provided the income is from the active conduct of a trade or business within the non-U.S. jurisdiction. However, earnings of the foreign subsidiary, to the extent reinvested in the U.S. or distributed to the U.S. parent as a dividend, may be subject to U.S. tax. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code requires that transfer pricing between a U.S. parent and a foreign subsidiary be made on an arms’ length basis. Tingo Mobile, our sole operating subsidiary during the Predecessor Period, did not issue any dividends during such period.

In our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income,Operations, as consolidated for the Predecessor Period, we have deducted taxes payable in connection with our former operations in Nigeria. However, inasmuch as the U.S. and Nigeria do not have a tax treaty, we do not receive a corresponding credit in the U.S. for tax paid in Nigeria by Tingo Mobile, then our wholly-owned subsidiary. In addition, our parent company Tingo, Inc. has incurred operating losses on an unconsolidated basis, largely due to non-cash expenses associated with stock awards made pursuant to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Our ability to utilize tax losses associated with the operations of our parent company is restricted, however, due to limitations on the deductibility of certain share compensation to our executive officers and directors that may be deemed ‘excess compensation’ pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Subject to any such disallowances pursuant to Code Section 162(m), as of June 30, 2022, the Company has approximately $90.5$98.2 million of net operating losses carried forward to offset taxable income, if any, in future years which expire commencing in fiscal year 2037. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on this assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax asset relating to NOLsNOL’s because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized as the parent company is not presently income producing.

Inventory—The Company holds certain stocks of spare parts to support the maintenance of new phones. These are recorded at cost. The company does not hold significant stock of new phones in the event of damage or replacement. Inventory is measured on the first-in, first-out method.

Operating Segments—We have examined our operating business for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in the Predecessor Period and the six months ended June 30, 2023 in the Successor Period pursuant to the guidance of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about customers, products and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that earn revenues, incur expenses and prepare separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in order to allocate resources and assess performance. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the CODM.

Based on the provisions of ASC 280, we have evaluated our former operating business and considered various factors associated therewith, including the concentration of our business in one country and the integration of our leasing business with the use of our agri-fintech platform that utilizes software embedded within the leased device. Accordingly, this evaluation resulted in one reportable segment.

Deferred Income— We reflect the full value of the 12-month revenues due in accordance with our mobile leasing contracts. We recognize leasing revenue from these contracts over the 12-month term.  We do not allocate the costs of our mobile phones against these revenues as a cost of sales, but instead recognize depreciation expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the estimated 3-year useful life of the devices.

Leased AssetsWe make use ofThe Company has entered into leasing arrangements principally for the provision of ourthe offices and related facilities. The rental contracts for offices are typically negotiated for terms of between 1 and 10 years and some of these have extension terms. Lease terms for office fixtures and equipment have lease terms of between 1 year and 10 years without any extension terms. The Company does not enter into sale and leaseback arrangements. All the leases are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide variety of different terms and conditions such as purchase options and escalation clauses. The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract.month-to-month basis. A lease conveys the right to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Measurement and Recognition of Leases as a LesseeAt During the Predecessor Period, at lease commencement date, we recognizeTingo Mobile recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costsexpenses incurred by the company, an estimate of any costsexpenses to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received). We depreciateTingo Mobile depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. WeTingo Mobile also assessassesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.

AtAlso during the Predecessor Period, at the commencement date, we measureTingo Mobile measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the estimated rate that the CompanyTingo Mobile would have to pay to borrow the same amount over a similar term, and with

13

Table of Contents

similar security to obtain an asset of equivalent value. This rate is adjusted should the lessee entity have a different risk profile to that of the Company.Tingo Mobile.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced by lease payments that are allocated between repayments of principal and finance costs.expenses. The finance cost is the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.

Table of Contents

The lease liability is reassessed when there is a change in the lease payments. Changes in lease payments arising from a change in the lease term or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase a leased asset. The revised lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of reassessment when the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. The amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability is reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. The exception being when the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero then any excess is recognized in profit or loss.

Payments under leases can also change when there is either a change in the amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees or when future payments change through an index or a rate used to determine those payments, including changes in market rental rates following a market rent review. The lease liability is remeasured only when the adjustment to lease payments takes effect and the revised contractual payments for the remainder of the lease term are discounted using an unchanged discount rate. Except for where the change in lease payments results from a change in floating interest rates, in which case the discount rate is amended to reflect the change in interest rates.

The remeasurement of the lease liability is dealt with by a reduction in the carrying amount of the right-of use asset to reflect the full or partial termination of the lease for lease modifications that reduce the scope of the lease. Any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease is recognized in profit or loss. The right-of-use asset is adjusted for all other lease modifications.

The CompanyTingo Mobile has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. These leases relate to the use of residential houses for a year.one-year period by traveling Tingo Mobile executives. Instead of recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Accounting Pronouncements—In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,” which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the new standard provides guidance on calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share. The ASU clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted earnings per share denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The ASU permits the use of either a full or modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its future financial statements and disclosures.

(5)Share-Based Compensation

(4)Share-Based Compensation

On October 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), the purpose of which was to promote the interests of the Company by encouraging directors, officers, employees, and consultants of Tingo to develop a long-term interest in the Company, align their interests with that of our stockholders, and provide a means whereby they may develop a proprietary interest in the development and financial success of the Company and its stockholders. The Incentive Plan is also intended to enhance the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain the services of individuals who are essential for the growth and profitability of the Company. The Incentive Plan permits the award of restricted stock, common stock purchase options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation awards. The maximum number of shares of our Class A common stock that are subject to awards granted under the Incentive Plan is 131,537,545 shares. The term of the Incentive Plan will expire on October 6, 2031. On October 12, 2021, our stockholders approved our Incentive Plan and, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first six months of 2022, the Tingo Compensation Committee granted awards under the Incentive Plan to certain directors, executive officers, employees, and consultants in the aggregate amount of 131,370,000 shares. The majority of the awards so issued are each subject to a vesting requirement over a 2-year period unless the recipient thereof is terminated or removed from their position without “cause”, or as a result of constructive termination, as such terms are defined in the respective award agreements entered into by each of the recipients and the Company. We account for share-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, we measure the grant date fair value based upon the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant and amortize the fair value of the awards as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. For all stock awards under the Incentive Plan that are not subject to vesting, we recognize expense associated with the award during the period in which the award is granted, in an amount equal to the number of shares granted, multiplied by the closing trading price of the shares on the relevant grant date. In connection with these awards, we recorded stock-based compensation expense and professional fees of $29.2$20.7 million and $101.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2022,2023, total compensation expense to be recognized in future periods is $53.6$12.2 million. The weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is 1.50.29 years.

(6)Revenue Recognition

Policy

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that we expectthe Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. We applyThe Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:

1.Identification of the promised goods in the contract;
2.Determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
3.Measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
5.Recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

WeThe Company only applyapplies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. We recognizeThe Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, ourDuring the Predecessor Period, the Company’s performance obligations for phonewith regard to its leasing contracts are recognizedsatisfied over time whilein the case of our obligations for agri-fintech services, which are usage based, are transferred to customersmobile phone leases, and at a point in time in the case of our agri-fintech services, typically upon delivery.

During the Predecessor Period, our revenue was comprised of lease payments for our smartphone devices, and fees for services and financial technology solutions. We offered service-only contracts and contracts that bundle equipment used to access the services and/or with other service offerings. Some contracts had fixed terms and others are cancellable on a short-term basis (i.e., month-to-month arrangements). We have elected to record revenue net of taxes collected from our customers that are remitted to governmental authorities, with the collected taxes recorded within other current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority.

OurSources

During the Predecessor Period (prior to our sale of Tingo Mobile), the Company had the following principal revenue is principally comprisedsources:

Mobile Leasing – customers entered an annual contract for a fixed monthly rental. The customers are committed for the full term. Our accounting policy was to recognize lease revenue ratably during the term. We did not assess a cost of sales associated with such lease revenue, but instead depreciated our mobile devices ratably on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 36 months.
Call and Data Services – our customers used call and data services at normalized rates which, given the increasing proliferation of wifi connections, even in rural locations, have steadily declined over time.
Nwassa services – this is Tingo Mobile’s Agri-Fintech platform powered by the smartphones leased on an annual term as described above, known as ‘device as a service’. Revenue was recognized based on the following basis as out performance obligations are satisfied:
Agri- Marketplace –percentage of the value of produce trade on Nwassa
Mobile Airtime Top-up – fixed percentage of value of top-up
Utilities – fixed percentage of value of transaction
Mobile Insurance – fixed fee recognized monthly based on contract
Financial Services (Loans and Related Services) – fixed referral fee depending upon service provided

While Tingo Mobile’s Nwassa applications are integrated with its branded phones, each of lease payments for smartphone devices, and fees for services and financial technology solutions.We offer service-only contracts and contracts that bundle equipment used to access the services and/or with other service offerings.

Our accounting policy is to recognize lease revenue ratably during the term.  We do not asses a cost of sales associated with such lease revenue, but instead depreciate our mobile devices ratably on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 36 months.
Call and Data Services – our customers use call and data services at normalized rates which, given the increasing proliferation of wifi connections, even in rural locations, have steadily declined over time.
Nwassa services – this is our Agri-Fintech platform. Revenue is recognized based on fixed percentage of the value of the transaction on the following basis when transactions are executed as follows:
Agri- Marketplace – fixed percentage of the value of produce trade on Nwassa
Mobile airtime top up – fixed percentage of value of top-up
Utilities – fixed percentage of value of transaction
Mobile Insurance – fixed fee recognized monthly based on contract
Financial Services (Loans and related services) – fixed referral fee as completed

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Non-monetary items carried at cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items carried at fair value are translated at the date the fair value is determined. For Nigeria, due to the volatile nature of the exchange rate, during the Predecessor Period, we have applied the prudent approach to convert both the Profit and LossStatement of Operations and Balance Sheet at the same rate to indicate a fairer reflection of the state of affairs.

Due from related party consists of obligations due under the terms of the Merger Agreement with TIO. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, TIO agreed to pay certain liabilities and accounts payable of the Company as of November 30, 2022, as well as certain other expenses relating to the maintenance of our reporting status under the Securities Exchange Act for the one-year period following the Merger.

The note receivable due from Tingo Mobile relates to sums provided to Tingo Mobile by the Company during the Predecessor Period to acquire mobile devices in the fourth quarter of 2022 and was advanced to Tingo Mobile prior to its sale to TIO as described Under Note 2 – Sale of Tingo Mobile above. The balance consists of principal in the amount of $15,866,000 and interest of $560,744.

(8)Investments in Securities

Investment in Securities—In connection with the sale of Tingo Mobile as described under Note 2 above, we concluded a value of $1.2 billion for the consideration received from TIO, determined in accordance with ASC 820 and ASC 805. ASC 820 requires that a fair value determination be based on objective evidence, using assumptions that a market participant would use, and when level 1 inputs exist, it should be used unless determined to be not representative. As described in Note 4 above, we are of the opinion that the TIO trading price, as quoted on Nasdaq, is not representative of the fair value of the consideration received and should not be used to determine the merger consideration. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 805-30-30-5, we determined that a reference to the Company’s share price, as traded at the OTC at the closing of the Merger, is a more appropriate determinant of fair value.

Accounts Receivable—This amount consists almost exclusively of trade receivables relating to our 3-year smartphone leasing contract which our customers entered during 2021. The release and delivery of new phones in accordance with our two new lease contracts with our cooperative customers that took place in May and August of 2021, each of which were renewed in May and August of 2022. The balances reflect the remaining balance outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The December 31,2021 balances also include balance due from one off sales completed in November 2021. This outstanding balance was fully repaid in January 2022. The previous lease contracts expired in May 2020. The delay in renewal of new contracts in 2021 was due to the impact of Covid 19 and resultant delays in recommencement of our supply chains as a consequence. The new phone leasing contracts will expire in April 2023 and July 2023 respectively. The Company had approximately 9.3 million subscribers for this service as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company has successfully renewed its previous contract that expired in May 2020 without any attrition in the number of subscribers. We view this as significant, given the gap of a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic that affected our supply chain in 2020 and the early part of 2021. We believe it is a clear demonstration of our ability to maintain subscriber loyalty and reflection of affordability at the price point we offer our subscribers over the three-year leasing period. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, economic conditions, and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We recognized bad debt expense of $57 during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and $47,455 for the six months ended June 30,2022. The allowance for credit loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $5,660 and was $42,065 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We offer our customers the option to purchase certain wireless devices in installments over a specified period of time and, in many cases, once certain conditions are met, they may be eligible to trade in the original equipment for a new device and have the remaining unpaid balance paid or settled. As of December 31, 2021, all receivables on this arrangement have been collected and the balance has been written off, and no new receivables have been incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

We have a strong history of mobile leasing to our subscriber base in partnership with our farmers’ cooperatives. Unlike a typical mobile leasing business, we analyze credit risk on these cooperatives and not directly with our 9.3 million subscribers. We have history of leasing to the same number of subscribers since 2017 and have a strong collection record where the cooperatives settle the monthly leasing receivables in bulk. The cooperatives manage the interaction and collection from their members and, therefore, we do not

undertake direct credit risk with our subscribers. This ‘business to business’ credit model has assured minimal bad debts and late payments, as well as reduced administrative effort needed to collect monthly receivables due over the 12-month contract.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we received an advance of $89.2 million affiliates of our founder and CEO, Dozy Mmobuosi, to satisfy short-term capital needs of Tingo Mobile, our wholly-owned operating subsidiary.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Tingo,Agri-Fintech Holdings, Inc. (collectively with our subsidiary, “we,, formerly known as ‘Tingo, Inc.’ (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Tingo” orand the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 17, 2015. Our shares trade on the OTC Markets trading platform under the symbol ‘TMNA’. We acquired our wholly-owned subsidiary,

As described more fully under Sale of Tingo Mobile PLC, a Nigerian public limited company below, on December 1, 2022, we sold Tingo Mobile Limited (“Tingo Mobile”), our sole operating subsidiary, to Tingo Group, Inc. (“TIO”), a Nasdaq-traded financial services company (formerly known as MICT, Inc.), in exchange for 25,783,675 shares of TIO common stock and two series of preferred stock that are convertible into TIO common stock upon the occurrence of certain conditions (“Preferred Stock”). On July 27, 2023, we converted one of these series of Preferred Stock into 26,042,808 additional shares of TIO common stock. If we convert the remainder of the Preferred Stock, our shareholding in TIO will be equal to 75.0% of TIO’s outstanding common stock, calculated as of the date of the sale of Tingo Mobile. Importantly, because we expect to hold 75.0% of the outstanding TIO common stock at some point during 2023, this report will discuss the historical operations of Tingo Mobile as a share exchangeformer subsidiary of the Company, and will discuss the future operations of Tingo Mobile as a pending subsidiary of the Company.

Prior to our sale of Tingo Mobile, the Company, together with its sole shareholder effective August 15, 2021. The Company, including itsoperating subsidiary, Tingo Mobile, iswas an Agri-Fintech company offering a comprehensive platform service through use of smartphones – ‘device as a service’ (using GSM technology) to empower a marketplace to enable subscribers/farmers within and outside of the agricultural sector to manage their commercial activities of growing and selling their production to market participants both domestically and internationally. The ecosystem provides a ‘one stop shop’ solution to enable such subscribers to manage everything from airtime top ups, bill pay services for utilities and other service providers, access to insurance services and micro finance to support their value chain from ‘seed to sale’.

As of June 30, 2022, Tingo had approximately 9.3 million leasing customers using its mobile phones and who also use the Company’s agri-fintech platform (www.nwassa.com). Nwassa is considered to be Africa’s leading digital agriculture ecosystem that empowers rural farmers and agri-businesses by using proprietary technology to enable access to markets in which they operate. Farmers in Nigeria use the Nwassa agri-trading platform to support the supply and purchase of a variety of agricultural inputs and produce. The system provides real-time pricing, straight from the farms, eliminating middlemen. Our users’ customers pay for produce bought using available pricing on our platform.

The Nwassa platform has also created an escrow solution that secures the buyer, inasmuch as funds are not released until fulfilment. The platform also facilitates trade financing, ensuring that banks and other lenders compete to provide credit to our members.

Although we have a large retail subscriber base, ours is essentially a business-to-business-to-consumer (“B2B2C”) business model. Each of our subscribers is a member of one of two large farmers’ cooperatives with whom we have a contractual relationship and which relationship facilitates the distribution of our branded smartphones into various rural communities of member farmers. And it is through our phones and our proprietary applications imbedded therein where we are able to distribute our wider array of agri-fintech services and generate the diverse revenue streams as described in more detail in this report.

Sale of Tingo Mobile

Overview. On December 1, 2022, we sold Tingo Mobile, our sole operating subsidiary, to TIO. The sale was accomplished via a multi-phase forward triangular merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement we entered into with TIO and representatives of each of the shareholders of the Company and TIO, we contributed our ownership of Tingo Mobile to a newly organized holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Tingo BVI Sub”). We then merged Tingo BVI Sub with and into MICT Fintech Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIO also incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“MICT Fintech”), resulting in Tingo Mobile being wholly-owned by TIO as a third-tier subsidiary (hereinafter, the “Merger”).

Consideration Received. As consideration for the Merger, we received the following:

Common and Preferred Stock. At the closing of the Merger, we received 25,783,675 shares of newly-issued common stock of TIO equal to 19.9% of its outstanding shares, calculated as of the closing date of the Merger, and two series of convertible preferred shares – Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). On July 27, 2023, we converted the Series A Preferred Stock into 26,042,808 additional shares of TIO common stock.
Undertaking to Pay Certain Liabilities of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we also received an undertaking from TIO to pay certain liabilities and accounts payable of the Company as of November 30, 2022, as well as certain other expenses relating to the maintenance of our reporting status under the Securities Exchange Act for the one-year period following the Merger. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the amount due to us pursuant to this undertaking was approximately $3.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively. This amount is set forth below in our audited financial statements as ‘Due from Related Party’ under Note 7 – Loans and Other Receivables – Related Parties.

Structure. Immediately following the Merger, our ownership interest in TIO and TIO’s ownership of Tingo Mobile was as shown in the following diagram (other subsidiaries of TIO not shown):

Key Terms of SeriesB Preferred Stock. Upon approval by Nasdaq of the change of control of TIO and upon the approval of TIO’s stockholders, the Series B Preferred Stock will convert into 35.0% of the outstanding shares are traded on OTC Marketsof TIO common stock, calculated as of the closing date of the Merger, giving the Company an aggregate ownership of 75.0% of TIO’s outstanding common stock. If such shareholder or Nasdaq approval is not obtained by June 30, 2023, we will have the right to cause TIO to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock for either of the following, at our option: (x) $666,666,667 in cash or, (y) a 33.0% ownership interest in Tingo Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware-incorporated subsidiary of TIO as shown in the diagram above ("TGH"). TGH is the immediate parent of MICT Fintech, which is the sole shareholder of Tingo Mobile.

Temporary Investment Company Status. Effective upon the closing of the Merger, the Company became subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Under the 1940 Act, any issuer of securities that has more than 100 beneficial owners and holds ‘investment securities’ (as defined under the ticker symbol ‘TMNA’.1940 Act) that exceed more than 40% of the value of the issuer’s unconsolidated assets is considered an ‘investment company’ and is therefore subject to various requirements of the 1940 Act, unless an exemption therefrom is applicable. One such requirement of the 1940 Act includes determining the fair value of equity securities held by the issuer instead of consolidating the underlying operations of such equity holdings. Rule 3a-2 permits issuers such as the Company, to be “deemed not to be engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities” for up to one year from the date that the 1940 Act would have technically applied if (i) the issuer’s business activities are inconsistent with those of an investment company, and (ii) the issuer’s governing board passes a resolution stating the issuer’s “bona fide intent to be engaged primarily, as soon as is reasonably possible” to be “in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities” within such one year period. Because the Company is actively involved in acquiring operating assets or otherwise developing other operating businesses, its present activities are inconsistent with those of an investment company. Moreover, inasmuch as the Company expects to effect a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock no later than September 30, 2023 and, therefore, consolidate the operations of TIO and its subsidiaries with the Company’s own operations, the Company has expressed its bona fide intent to be in a business other than that of an investment company.

Entry Into Merger Agreement with MICT, Inc.

On October 6, 2022, the Company, MICT, Inc. (“MICT”), and representatives of each company’s shareholders entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Restated Merger Agreement”).  The common stock of MICT is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ‘MICT’.  The Restated Merger Agreement is the second restatement of the agreement and the result of efforts of Tingo and MICT to restructure the transaction as a multi-phase forward triangular merger (“Merger”) instead of as a reverse triangular merger as previously agreed.  Under the terms of the Restated Merger Agreement, Tingo will create a newly-formed subsidiary incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Tingo BVI Sub”) to facilitate the Merger and hold the Company’s beneficial ownership interest in Tingo Mobile.  MICT will also create a subsidiary incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“MICT BVI Sub”), which will be merged with and into Tingo BVI Sub, with MICT BVI Sub as the surviving corporation and a subsidiary of MICT.  The Merger will, therefore, result in Tingo Mobile becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MICT, and the operations of Tingo Mobile, as an agri-fintech company, becoming the predominant operations of MICT. The aggregate consideration tendered by MICT to Tingo, the sole shareholder of Tingo Mobile, will consist of: (i) newly-issued common stock of MICT equal to 19.9% of its outstanding shares, calculated immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger; and (ii) two series of convertible preferred shares – Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the “MICT Preferred Shares”).  The conversion of the MICT Preferred Shares is subject to various conditions, including approval of MICT’s shareholders and, in the case of the MICT Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, is also subject to Nasdaq approving a change of control of MICT.  If all of the MICT Preferred Shares are converted into MICT common stock, Tingo will hold 75.0% of the outstanding shares of MICT.  A summary of the Restated Merger Agreement and the actions taken by the Company and MICT in connection therewith are included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2022.  On November 9, 2022, we filed a definitive Information Statement to provide information to our shareholders about the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Acquisition of Tingo Mobile plc

On August 15, 2021, the Company acquired all of the share capital of Tingo Mobile plc, a Nigerian corporation (“Tingo Mobile”) from Tingo International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TIH”), the sole shareholder of Tingo Mobile. Pursuant to

Tingo’s operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $122.0 million as compared to $51.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increasecomparison of $71.0 million, or 139.2%. The substantial increase as compared to the second quarterresults of 2021 is largely due to renewaloperations, cost of the mobile leasing activity that commenced in May 2021revenues, and August 2021 with our two partner cooperatives, as well as the revenue contribution made by our Nwassa agri-fintech platform. We believe the increased adoption rates and growth in our Nwassa user base are a clear demonstration of how rapidly the Nwassa agri-fintech platform, powered through a smartphone, is providing value and convenience to farming and rural communities. We earn up to a 4.0% commission on Nwassa services, which have net margins of over 90.0%. As Nwassa becomes a progressively larger component of our aggregate revenue, we expect overall gross profit margins, as well as aggregate profit, to increase accordingly. This is reflective in the growth of Tingo’s Net Income of $72.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $34.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $37.8 million, or 108.9%.

Tingo’s operating income for2023 with the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $193.2 million as compared to $91.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $101.6 million, or 110.0%. As with the comparative three-month results discussed above, the substantial increase is largely due to renewal of the mobile leasing activity that commencedwould not be meaningful and, consequently, has not been included in May and August 2021, as well as the significantly positive growth of revenue mix in the higher margin business in Nwassa, where we earn up to a 4.0% commission on various agri-fintech transactions and have relatively insignificant marginal costs as compared to our sales and leasing business.

Generally. We generated total revenue of $268.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to $100.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $168.0 million, or 167.8%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we generated revenue of $525.7 million as compared to $146.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $379.7 million, or 260.0%. In addition to recognizing leasing and service revenue from our mobile phones during the first half of 2022, we also experienced sharp growth in the utilization of our Nwassa agri-fintech platform as compared to the first half of 2021. This platform delivered strong growth in revenue, increasing from $35.0 million and $66.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, to $130.9 million and $252.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. This represents growth of 274.0% and 278.4% for the respective comparative periods. Our Nwassa agri-fintech business now represents approximately 48.0% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to approximately 45.7% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The principal reasons for the increases during the second quarter and first half of 2022 as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2021 were as follows:

Our strategy of enabling rural communities with an affordable smartphone ‘device as a service’ has proved successful in increasing the volume of agri-produce trading being conducted on the platform. Given the fees we earn through these services, we estimate that the Company processed just under $6.0 billion in transaction volume for our subscribers during the first half of 2022.

25

Table of Contents

Agri-trading revenues for the second quarter and first half of 2022 were $65.5 million and $127.6 million, respectively, as compared to $16.6 million and $31.7 million during the second quarter and first half, respectively, of 2021. The number of farmers trading produce on our system has also increased by a significant level as compared to prior periods. We believe that this is a clear demonstration of the value that Nwassa offers farmers as the platform of choice to trade their produce into the domestic market.
Utility top-ups on Nwassa saw revenues increase to $49.2 million and $94.4 million for the quarter and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $13.8 million and $27.7 million for the quarter and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2021. This represents a growth rate of 356.5% on a quarter-over-quarter basis, and a 340.8% growth rate as compared to the first half of 2021. The level of activity is a strong indicator of the level of trust and reliability that consumers place on our service, with virtually no resistance to the transaction fees we charge.
The significant growth in Nwassa revenues is in line with our strategy to expand our Agri-Fintech business as our core focus with the access to mobile devices as an enabler to assure access and connectivity to our Nwassa platform.
The decline in the Naira -USD exchange rate from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022 has been mitigated by the significant organic growth of both volume and margins on our agri-fintech trading business.

Mobile leasing revenues continue to be in line with expectations of the one-year leasing contract and has been slightly impacted by the declining exchange rate.

Leasing revenue is recognized over 12 months in equal instalments from the date of sign up of the contract. Inasmuch as our lease agreements did not commence until later in the first half of 2021, wherein we had $55.3 million in leasing revenue during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $122.1 million and $243.8 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Nwassa, our Agri-Fintech platform generated 48.7% and 48.0% of total Company revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 34.8% and 45.7% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Utility top-up activity levels more than tripled during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. We believe that the strong performance of the Agri-fintech side of our business is a clear demonstration of the maturity and adoption of the Nwassa platform by a higher percentage of our ‘Device as a Service’ customer base powered through farmers’ cooperatives. The level of loan brokerage, which was relatively negligible in the first six months of 2021 increased to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Of note was the residual revenue stream in the first half of 2022 resulting from the one-time sale of mobile phones in the fourth quarter of 2021, where we estimate that at least 30% of the non-leasing customer base who purchased these phones registered for access to the Nwassa platform to manage airtime and utility payments during the first six months of 2022. This is significant, inasmuch as it is a demonstration of our successful campaigns we ran to register customers who bought a phone via a third non-agricultural cooperative with which we contracted in November 2021.

However, we believe that it is important to understand that the provision of smartphones is the means to drive a higher level of access to our Agri-Fintech platform Nwassa, to enable our customers to participate in our Agri-marketplace, top up their airtime, pay for utilities, insure their mobile devices and access credit services through partner institutions. Typical fees and commissions on these services can be up to 4.0%. Insurance revenue is fixed at $0.24 per device per month. Our focus on providing an affordable mobile device is core to the delivery of our fintech services and we call that ‘Device as a Service’ model. The richness of our Agri-Fintech service and related payment services deliver a very unique model of social upliftment and financial inclusion to rural communities. The agri-marketplace we have created provides our customers with an opportunity to market their fresh produce to reduce the ‘time to market’ and contribute towards our objectives to support the rural farming community with products and services that enable reduction in ‘post-harvest losses’ - a key area of focus for us as part of our investment to deliver services through use of smartphones to drive tangible social upliftment through increased sales for such farmers using the Nwassa platform.

The Company’s cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $3.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively, as compared to $47.5 million and $50.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The lower cost of sales in the first half of 2022 was due to no bulk sales of mobile phones during those periods.

Cost of sales consists of two key elements:

Commissions to Cooperatives and Agents - the Company has over 17,000 agents that support the rollout of our services through Cooperatives and an independent agency network of rural farmers and women.
Cost of Resold Mobile Phones – from time to time, we will sell our branded phones in one-off bulk sale transactions.  In such cases, we allocate the costs of manufacture and delivery against the sales price of the phones.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On October 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), the purpose of which was to promote the interests of the Company by encouraging directors, officers, employees, and consultants of Tingo to develop a long-term interest in the Company, align their interests with that of our stockholders, and provide a means whereby they may develop a proprietary interest in the development and financial success of the Company and its stockholders. The Incentive Plan is also intended to enhance the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain the services of individuals who are essential for the growth and profitability of the Company. The Incentive Plan permits the award of restricted stock, common stock purchase options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation awards. The maximum number of shares of our Class A common stock that are subject to awards granted under the Incentive Plan is 131,537,545 shares. The term of the Incentive Plan will expire on October 6, 2031. On October 12, 2021, our stockholders approved our Incentive Plan and, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first six months of 2022, the Tingo Compensation Committee granted awards under the Incentive Plan to certain directors, executive officers, employees, and consultants in the aggregate amount of 131,370,000 shares. The majority of the awards so issued are each subject to a vesting requirement over a 2-year period unless the recipient thereof is terminated or removed from their position without “cause”, or as a result of constructive termination, as such terms are defined in the respective award agreements entered into by each of the recipients and the Company. We account for share-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, we measure the grant date fair value based upon the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant and amortize the fair value of the awards as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. For all stock awards under the Incentive Plan that are not subject to vesting, we recognize expense associated with the award during the period in which the award is granted, in an amount equal to the number of shares granted, multiplied by the closing trading price of the shares on the relevant grant date. In connection with these awards, we recorded stock-based compensation expense and professional fees of $29.2$20.7 million and $101.2

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash: Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from operations. On September 24, 2021, we filed a Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating the sale of our securities in one or more private transactions (the “Private Offering”). We expect that, as a result of the Private Offering, we will also be able to secure sufficient operating and working capital for our parent company activities for the next twelve months.

Cash on Hand. As of June 30, 2022,2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $104.1 million on a consolidated basis.

Indebtedness: The Company had $3.0 million and $0 in investment debt as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.approximately $14,000.

We expect our cash on hand, and proceeds received from our assets and operations, cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for business operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to raise additional financing to support our parent company’s operating and compliance expenditures.

Table of Contents

Our cash flows could be adversely affected by events outside our control, including, without limitation, changes in overall economic conditions, regulatory requirements, changes in technologies, demand for our products and services, availability of labor resources and capital, natural disasters, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments, such as COVID-19, and other conditions. Our ability to attract and maintain a sufficient customer base, particularly in our principal markets, is critical to our ability to maintain a positive cash flow from operations. The foregoing events individually or collectively could affect our results.

We are evaluating the impact of current market conditions on our Company and its ability to generate dollar-denominated income. We believe that our operating cash flow and cash on hand will be sufficient to meet operating requirements and to finance routine capital expenditures through the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Dividends

On November 10, 2021, our Board adopted a Dividend Policy for the Company. The Policy provides a process that the Board will undertake when approving quarterly, annual, and special dividends for the Company including, but not limited to, various financial criteria and macroeconomic factors, as well as certain financial and economic factors specific to the Company. In the case of quarterly dividends, within ninety (90) calendar days following the end of each fiscal year, the Board will determine the dividend payment, if any, that will be made to holders of the Company’s capital stock. Such dividend will generally be expressed as a cash amount equal to a percentage of the Company’s consolidated after-tax net income for such prior fiscal year, and will be divided into fourths, with one-fourth of the amount payable each quarter. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has not paid any dividends in its history.

Subsequent Events

Our Management performed an evaluation of the Company’s activity through the date the financial statements were issued, noting the following subsequent event:

EntryOn July 27, 2023, we converted our holding of TIO Series A Preferred Stock into Second Amended and Restated Merger Agreement. As described above in Note 2 – Entry Into Restated Merger Agreement with MICT, on October 6, 2022, the Company, MICT, and representatives26,042,808 shares of each company’s shareholders entered into the Restated Merger Agreement.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, lease rates, credit rates, and general debt terms.

We are subject to risks regarding currency volatility and foreign exchange rates. In particular, we are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency, and currencies of countries where we market or source our products and services, which presently consists principally of the Nigerian Naira.services. Such fluctuations may result in significant increases or decreases in our reported revenue and other results as expressed in dollars, and in the reported value of our assets, liabilities and cash flows. In addition, currency fluctuation may adversely affect receivables, payables, debt, firm commitments and forecast transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies. In particular, transition risks arise where parts of the cost of sales are not denominated in the same currency of such sales. We currently do not hedge this exposure. Fluctuation in exchange rates, depreciation of local currencies, changes in monetary and/or fiscal policy or inflation in the countries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition to foreign currency risk, our ability to generate operating cash flows at our parent company level depends on the ability of our subsidiaries to upstream funds. Nigeria and other countriesCountries in which we may operate have exchange controls that can, from time to time, place restrictions on the exchange of local currency for foreign currency and the transfer of funds abroad. These controls and other controls that may be implemented in the future could limit the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer cash to us and make us dependent upon external sources of cash and credit.

We can offer no assurance that additional restrictions on currency exchange will not be implemented in the future or that these restrictions will not limit the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer cash to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Management assessedOur management, with the participation of our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2023. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting as ofduring the quarter ended June 30, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013.

Based upon our evaluation of internal controls, our CEO and CFO determined2023, that (i) we have a material weakness over our entity level control environment as of June 30, 2022 and (ii)has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022, inasmuch as, subsequent to quarter-end, we recharacterized the acquisition of Tingo Mobile as a reverse acquisition under applicable accounting rules and amended and restated our financial statements in previous quarterly and annual reports accordingly.reporting.

Part II.Other Information

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

On May 23, 2022, ClearThink Capital LLC, a Florida limited liability company claiming to be an investment banking firm (“ClearThink”), filed a complaint against the Company alleging a breach by Tingo of a purported non-circumvention agreement and an alleged obligation to pay ClearThink an investment banking fee in connection with the planned merger of the Company with a wholly-owned subsidiary of MICT, Inc. The lawsuit seeks relief for breach of contract, a breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment, and also seeks declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and an award of costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses. We believe that this lawsuit, and the allegations included therein, are without merit, particularly in view of the fact that ClearThink and its Managing Director, Craig Marshak, failed to disclose to Tingo their lack of a required broker-dealer license, or that Robert S. Brown, the Chief Executive Officer of ClearThink, was subject to an Order from the SEC suspending him from practicing before the Commission. While the outcome of the lawsuit cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that the proceeding will have a material effect upon Tingo’s financial condition or results of operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is a party to certain other proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our customers and subscribers. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

In connection with our acquisitionsale of Tingo Mobile and as a publictemporary investment company focused on the agri-fintech sector,following such sale, we are subject to a number of risks, many of which are identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K includingand any subsequent amendments thereto (“10-K”). As the business of the Company and its subsidiaries continues to develop, and as we progress toward completion of the merger, we intend to identify, as will be reasonably possible, any such additional risks and include the same in our subsequent filings and reports with the SEC.

Moreover, the economic dislocation precipitated by the coronavirus pandemic is still rapidly evolving. As of the date of filing of this 10-Q, we are unable to predict either the potential near-term or longer-term impact that the coronavirus may have on our financial and operating results due to numerous uncertainties regarding the duration and severity of the crisis. To the greatest extent possible, we intend to operate our business in the ordinary course. Nevertheless, the ultimate impact of the coronavirus pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been and will likely continue to be impacted by future developments concerning the pandemic and the resulting economic disruption.

Readers should carefully consider these risks and all other information contained in our 10-K, including the Company’s financial statements and the related notes thereto. The risks and uncertainties described in our 10-K and throughout this 10-Q are not the only ones facing the Company.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or not presently deemed material by us, may also impair our operations and performance.performance.
