General [Abstract]
General	Note 1 - General
	A.           Introduction
	On Track Innovations Ltd. (the “Company”) was founded in 1990, in Israel. The Company and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) are principally engaged in the field of design and development of cashless payment solutions. The Company's shares are listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”).
	Until 2012 the Company considered itself to be in a single reporting segment and operating unit structure. Since 2013, following the change in the composition of the Company's Board of directors (the “Board”), the Company operates in three operating segments (see Note 15).
	As to the Company's major customers, see note 16.
	Certain definitions
	$ - United States Dollars
	NIS - New Israeli Shekel
	B.            Divestiture of operations:
	1. In December 2013, the Company completed the sale of certain assets, subsidiaries and intellectual property (“IP”) relating to its Smart ID division, for a total purchase price of $10,000 in cash and an additional $12,500 subject to performance-based milestones (the” SmartID Division Divesture”). Accordingly, the results and the cash flows of this operation for all reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The Company recorded a gain from this divesture, net of transaction costs, in the amount of $8,944 in 2013.
	During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company recorded profit from contingent consideration in the amount of $1,013 according to earn out mechanism. This profit is presented as ‘other income, net' within income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 (see also Note 13).
	2. During 2013 the Company reached an initial agreement, which eventually closed in February 2014, to sell its wholly owned German subsidiary, Intercard System Electronics GmbH (hereinafter – “Intercard”), for a total purchase price of EURO 700 (approximately, $960) and an additional immaterial contingent consideration based on future sales (the” German Subsidiary Divesture”). Accordingly, assets and liabilities related to Intercard are presented separately in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, as assets and liabilities held for sale, which was consummated on February 28, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a loss from impairment assets in the amount of  $2,970 that reflected the difference between the book value of Intercard's assets, net of liabilities, and the consideration (see also Note 13). The Company recorded the impairment charge of $2,970 in its statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, among “net income from discontinued operations”. The results and the cash flows of this operation for the reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.
	The Company recorded a loss from the German Subsidiary Divesture in the amount of $7 on the closing date in 2014. This loss includes transaction costs, in the amount of $343 and a profit in the amount of $336 due to transfer of Intercard's accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive loss to the statement of operations.
	Those amounts are included within ‘Other income, net' from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 (see also note 13).
	For further details see note 2V.
	3. In August 2013, the Company, through its subsidiary, Parx Ltd. entered into a share purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of 100% of the shares of a subsidiary, Parx France, for consideration of 25% of Parx France's future profits on an EBITDA basis. The Company has recorded a loss in the amount of $231 during 2013, presented in the statement of operations among “other operating income, net”.
	For further details see note 2V.
	4. As of December 31, 2014 the Company shut down the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary Smart Card Engineering Ltd.. The Company has recorded a capital gain in the amount of 3 as part of  other operating income, net (see Note 11).
	C.             Acquisition of subsidiaries and business operations
	1. In April 2012, the Company completed, through its subsidiary Parx Ltd, the purchase of 100% of the share capital of CPI Communication Ltd. (“CPI”), an Israeli-based company that provides private parking solutions across Israel (hereinafter - the "CPI Transaction"). CPI was purchased in order to expand the Company's product offering, for a purchase price of $247, comprised of $100 in cash and $147 by issuance of 90,361 warrants to purchase the Company's ordinary shares.
	The 90,361 warrants were issued with a par value exercise price which becomes exercisable in five equal installments over a period of five years.
	The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, using the purchase method of accounting and the Company allocated the purchase price according to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs were expensed.
	As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company recognized a technology intangible asset, at an estimated fair value of $256.
	During 2013 the Company's management decided to abandon the operations of CPI. As a result the Company recorded an impairment of the technology intangible asset.
	2. On January 4, 2011, Parx Ltd., the Company's subsidiary, entered into an assets acquisition agreement with Ganis Systems Ltd. (“Ganis”) for the acquisition of assets and IP. In consideration for this acquisition, the Company paid Ganis $400 in cash and issued to it 130,521 ordinary shares of the Company.  The agreement also consisted of additional earn-out payments, subject to certain milestones, which eventually were not met.
	The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, using the purchase method of accounting and the Company allocated the purchase price according to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs were expensed.
	In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized three intangible assets: (1) customer relationships, having an estimated fair value of $102, with an estimated useful life of 11 years, (2) technology, having an estimated fair value of $43 with an estimated useful life of 14 years, and (3) brand, having an estimated fair value of $28, with an estimated useful life of 12 years. Amortization was computed on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The Company also recognized goodwill in the estimated amount of $485. Amortization of the goodwill is a recognized expense for tax purposes.
	During 2013, due to the Company's change in its operating segments reporting, the goodwill mandatory annual impairment testing and the operating and cash flow losses combined with negative projections regarding Ganis operations, the Company recorded an impairment of these intangible assets and goodwill.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
	The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:
	A.            Financial statements in U.S. dollars
	Substantially all of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' revenues are in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of purchases of materials and components and most marketing costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, both the functional and reporting currencies of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are the U.S. dollar.
	Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts.
	For entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency, transactions and balances in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, i.e. at the date the transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, or instance of revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in the functional currency by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. When translation using the exchange rates at the dates that the numerous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are recognized is impractical, an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the period is used to translate those elements. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of such items denominated in non U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, among ‘financial expenses, net', as appropriate.
	The functional currencies of the remaining subsidiaries are their local currencies. The financial statements of those companies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses (which approximates the translation of each transaction). Translation adjustments resulting from the process of the aforesaid translation are included as a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss).
	B.            Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	C.            Estimates and assumptions
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Such estimates include the valuation of useful lives of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories and investments, legal contingencies, the assumptions used in the calculation of share based compensation, income taxes and other contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed by management and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results, however, may vary from these estimates.
	D.           Cash equivalents
	Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments and debt instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.
	E.           Trade receivables
	Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Collection of trade receivables are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The consolidated financial statements include an allowance for loss from receivables for which collection is in doubt.  In determining the adequacy of the allowance consideration is given to each trade receivable historical experience, aging of the receivable, adjusted to take into account current market conditions and information available about specific debtors, including their financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, current payment patterns, the volume of their operations, and evaluation of the security received from them or their guarantors.
	F.             Short term investments
	Short term investments consist of:
	(1)         Bank deposits whose maturities are longer than three months from the date of purchase, but not longer than one year from the balance sheet date.
	(2)         Restricted bank deposits whose maturities are not longer than one year from the balance sheet date (for further details, see note 9C).
	G.            Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by calculating raw materials, work in process and finished products on a "moving average" basis. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow moving items or technological obsolescence. Such write-offs, which were not material for the reported years, have been included in cost of revenues.
	The Company applies ASC Topic 330, Inventory which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) requiring that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the above topic requires that allocation of fixed production overhead costs be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
	H.            Property, plant and equipment, net
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
			Years
	Leasehold land (over the terms of the lease, see Note 6A(1))		49
	Buildings		25
	Computers, software and manufacturing equipment		5-Mar
	Office furniture and equipment		16-May
			(mainly - 10)
	I.             Impairment of long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets in the amount of $328.
	No impairment losses were recorded in 2014.
	J.            Goodwill and purchased intangible assets
	Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, as of December 31 every year.
	Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $485, see note 1C(2).
	Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
	K.           Revenue recognition
	The Group generates revenues from product sales, licensing and transaction fees. Revenues are also generated from non-recurring engineering, customer services and technical support.
	Revenues from product sales and non-recurring engineering are recognized when delivery has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is probable and no further obligations exist. In the case of non-recurring engineering, revenue is recognized upon completion of testing and approval of the customization of the product by the customer, provided that no further obligation exists. Revenues are recognized net of value added tax.
	License and transaction fees are recognized as earned based on actual usage. Usage is determined by receiving confirmation from the users.
	Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the term of the related contract.
	In arrangements that contain multiple elements, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-13,“Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). Such multiple element arrangements may include providing an IT solution, selling products (such as smart cards) and rendering customer services. Accordingly, the overall arrangement fee is allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence of selling price ("VSOE") or third party evidence of selling price ("TPE"). In the absence of VSOE and TPE for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, the Company is required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. Such estimated selling price has been determined using a cost plus margin approach. Since the cost for each element in such arrangements is reliably estimable, the estimated selling price was calculated by multiplying the costs by an average gross margin applicable to each element. Once the standalone selling price for each element was determined, the consideration allocated to each element was recognized as revenues upon meeting the required criteria as described above.
	In revenue arrangements that include software components, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-14. Accordingly, software revenue recognition is not applied for tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality.
	The Company has applied the guidance described above for certain arrangements which include providing IT solutions, selling products and customer services. The total arrangement consideration is allocated proportionally to the separate deliverables in the arrangement using the estimated selling price for each component. The Company recognizes revenues from sale of its IT solutions and from certain long-term contract in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts" (“ASC 605-35”).
	Pursuant to ASC 605-35, revenues from these contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method.  The Company measures the percentage of completion based on output or input criteria, as applicable to each contract. For the reported years, the Company used in all of its projects output measures with respect to measuring the progress of completion. These measures are based on completion of milestones (i.e., contract milestones as stated in the agreement such as the delivery, installation or shipments of various deliverables) and the amount of operational sites (i.e., progress is measured as a percentage of the sites that are already operational, out of the total sites that are required to be operational under the agreement).
	Following the SmartID Division Divesture, revenues from such contracts are included in “net income (loss) from discontinued operations”.
	Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made during the period in which such losses are first identified, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract. As of December 31, 2014, no such estimated losses were identified.
	Revenues and costs recognized pursuant to ASC 605-35 on contracts in progress are subject to management estimates.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Licensing and transaction fees are recognized based on the volume of transactions or monthly licensing fees from systems that contain the Company's products and usually bear no cost to the Company.
	The cost to the Company of warranting that the product will perform according to certain specifications and that the Company will repair or replace the product if it ceases to work properly, is insignificant and is treated according to accounting guidance for contingencies.
	L.            Research and development costs
	Research and development costs, which consist mainly of labor costs, materials and subcontractors, are charged to operations as incurred.
	M.           Stock-based compensation
	Employees
	The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated grant date fair values. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
	ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires estimating the fair value of share based payments awards on the date of the grant using an option pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method.
	Non-Employees
	The Company uses an option valuation model to measure the fair value of these options at the grant date and at each subsequent reported period until the exercise date is reached. During 2013 and 2014 no options were granted. During 2012, all options were granted with a par value exercise price. Due to the par value nominal amount of NIS 0.1, the fair value of these options was estimated to be equal to the Company's market share price at the grant date.
	N.           Basic and diluted net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Shares issuable for little or no cash consideration, are considered outstanding ordinary shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per ordinary share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied.
Outstanding stock options and warrants in the amounts of 2,241,421, 2,066,730 and 2,230,730 for December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per ordinary share because all such securities have an anti-dilutive effect for all periods presented.
O.           Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term interest bearing investments, accounts receivable, restricted deposits for employee benefits, accounts payable and short-term and long-term loans.
Fair value for the measurement of financial assets and liabilities is defined as 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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs for fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
By distinguishing between inputs that are observable in the market place, and therefore more objective, and those that are unobservable and therefore more subjective, the hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measurements. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company, in estimating fair value for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term bank credit and trade payables are equivalent to, or approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the short term investments is based on level 1 inputs.
The fair value of the liability in respect of the contingent consideration included in business combinations (see note 1C(2)) is based on discounted future expected sales and thus is based on level 3 inputs. The liability was determined to be insignificant.
The carrying amounts of variable interest rate long-term loans are equivalent or approximate to their fair value as they bear interest at approximate market rates. At December 31, 2014, the fair value of bank loans with fixed interest rates did not differ materially from the carrying amount.
P.            Income tax
The Company accounts for taxes on income in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized.
The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Q.             Non-controlling Interest
The Company implements ASC Topic 810 Consolidation, which requires net loss (income) attributable to non-controlling interests to be classified in the consolidated statements of operations as part of consolidated net earnings and to include the accumulated amount of non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets as part of equity. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported in net earnings.
R.           Severance pay
The Company's liability for severance pay for some of its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employee multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Those employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. Certain senior executives were entitled to receive additional severance pay. During 2013 the employment of most of such senior executives was terminated and related severance pay liability was settled.
The Company records the liability as if it were payable at each balance sheet date on an undiscounted basis. The liability is classified based on the expected date of settlement, and therefore is usually classified as a long-term liability, unless the termination of the employees is expected during the upcoming year.
The Company's liability for those Israeli employees is partially provided for by monthly deposits for insurance policies and the remainder by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.
The deposited funds include profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash redemption value of these policies. In addition, during 2012 the Company deposited certain amounts with a trustee, to compensate for any severance pay liability that is not covered by other funds. These deposits are restricted and may be withdrawn only for payment of severance pay liabilities. The severance pay funds and the restricted deposits for employee benefits are classified based on the classification of the corresponding liability.
In respect of other Israeli employees, the Company obtained approval from the Israeli Ministry of Labor and Welfare, pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963, according to which the current deposits with the pension fund and/or with the insurance company exempt the Company from any additional obligation to these employees for whom the said depository payments are made. These deposits are accounted as defined contribution payments.
Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to approximately $392, $609 and $1,630, respectively. Defined contribution plan expenses were $370, $415 and $412 in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
S.             Advertising expenses
Advertising expenses are charged to the statements of operations as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to approximately $1,522, $1,472 and $1,550, respectively.
T.            Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, bank deposits and trade receivables.
Cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel and Europe. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Group's investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
Most of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to large and financially secure organizations. In determining the adequacy of the allowance, management bases its opinion, inter alia, on the estimated risks, current market conditions, in reliance on available information with respect to the debtor's financial position.  As for major customers, see note 16.
The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
			2014			2013			2012
Allowance for doubtful accounts at beginning of year		$	610		$	431		$	233
Additions charged to allowance for doubtful accounts			88			220			319
Write-downs charged against the allowance			(27	)		(41	)		(127	)
Currency translation differences			-			-			6
Allowance for doubtful accounts at end of year		$	671		$	610		$	431
U.           Commitments and contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
V.            Business divestures
As described in Note 1B, the Company sold certain operations during 2013 and 2014. Upon reaching a definitive agreement with an acquirer, the Company recognizes the consideration received from the divesture, less all assets and liabilities sold, as a gain or loss.
Discontinued operations
Upon divesture of a business, the Company classifies such business as a discontinued operation, if the divested business meets the following criteria:
	(i)	The business qualifies as a component of an entity, as it comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company.
	(ii)	Both of the following conditions are met or expected to be met within one year:
	1)	The operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in the disposal transaction; and
	2)	The Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The eligibility to receive contingent consideration from future sales of the divested business does not necessarily indicate that there is continuing involvement in the operations of the business.
For disposals other than by sale such as abandonment, the results of operations of a business would not be recorded as a discontinued operation until the period in which the business is actually abandoned.
The Company has concluded that at December 31, 2013, the SmartID Division Divesture and the German Subsidiary Divesture qualify as discontinued operations and therefore have been presented as such. The sale of PARX France and the shutdown of Smart Card Engineering (see note 1B(3) and 1B(4)) do not qualify as a discontinued operations as the Company has significant involvement after the disposal transaction.
Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations that have not yet been actually sold are presented on the balance sheet in one line item. Assets and liabilities of such discontinued operations are not offset and are presented as such only for the current year balance sheet.
The results of businesses that have qualified at December 31, 2013 as discontinued operations have been presented as such for all reporting periods. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations.
Any loss or gain that arose from the divesture of a business that qualifies as discontinued operations has been included within the results of the discontinued operations.
The Company also presents cash flows from discontinued operations separately from cash flows of continuing operations.
Contingent consideration
The Company's sale arrangements consist of contingent consideration based on the divested businesses future sales or profits. The Company records the contingent consideration portion of the arrangement when the consideration is determined to be realizable.
W.           Patent litigation and maintenance expenses
Patent litigation and maintenance expenses, which consist of salaries and consultants' fees, are expensed as incurred. The Company presents such expenses as a separate item within its operating expenses because it believes that such presentation improves the understandability of the statement of operations. All prior periods' Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
X.            Recent accounting pronouncements
1.    In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the ASU, discontinued operations is defined as either a:
Component of an entity, or group of components, that
Has been disposed of meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, or has been abandoned/spun-off; and
Represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results, or a
Business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.
Under this ASU, continuing involvement in the disposed component is no longer relevant for evaluating discontinued operations presentation. However, the ASU requires specific disclosures about entities' continuing involvement with discontinued operations.
The new ASU is effective for the Company prospectively for both:
All disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, and
All business that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years.
The extent of this standard's effect depends on the management's plan to divest operations in the future, if at all, and the Company is currently evaluating its potential effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2	On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenues to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
3	On August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). The ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Commitments_and_Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
	A.           Commitments and Contingencies:
	1. The Company and its Israeli subsidiary, EasyPark, have entered into several research and development agreements, pursuant to which the Company and EasyPark received grants from the Government of Israel, and are therefore obligated to pay royalties to the Government of Israel at a rate of 3.5% of its sales up to the amounts granted (linked to the U.S. dollar with annual interest at LIBOR as of the date of approval, for programs approved from January 1, 1999 and thereafter).  The total amount of grants received until December 31, 2014, net of royalties paid, was approximately $3,367 (including accrued interest). No grants from the Government of Israel were received during the three-year period ended December 31, 2014.
	Royalties paid amounted to $423, $325 and $375 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were charged to cost of revenues.
	2. During 2012, based on employment agreements with former executives of the Company, the Company provided for certain post-employment obligations an amount of $4,719.

These amounts were paid out of funds that were deposited in an escrow account already recorded as short term restricted deposit for employees' benefits in the Company's financial statements for the year 2012. The agreements further provide a mutual release from all claims between the Company and the former executives in connection with their employment with the Company, termination thereof, and any position they held with the Company. Consequently to the execution of the agreements mentioned above, the Company recorded income of $4,503 in its statement of operations, among “other operating income, net”.

On October 3, 2013, a financial claim was filed against the Company and its then French subsidiary, Parx France (in this paragraph, together the “Defendants”), in the Commercial Court of Paris, France (in this paragraph, the “Court”). The sum of the claim is Euro 1.500 (approximately $1,830), and is based on the allegation that the plaintiff sustained certain losses in connection with Defendants not granting the plaintiff exclusive marketing rights to distribute and operate the Defendants' PIAF Parking System in Paris and the Ile of France. The Company filed an initial memorandum of defense rejecting the plaintiff's allegations and claims. On May 19, 2014, during a preliminary Court hearing, it was established that the plaintiff, at all relevant times, was and is insolvent and under receivership, and therefore does not have the legal capacity to pursue the claim. Following a preliminary hearing held on October 7, 2014 the Court  scheduled a pre-trial review hearing for November 6, 2014, where the Court heard the parties claims and allegations to decide on the merits. The Court should schedule an additional pre-trial hearing of the claim during 2015. Based on the advice of counsel, the Company currently believes that it has no material obligations to the Plaintiff and that there is no need for a provision for the claim.

On October 29, 2014 the Company filed a statement of defense rejecting the plaintiff's allegations and claims. On March 10, 2015, the Court held a pre-trial review hearing where the Court made an initial review of the parties' allegations. In the course of the hearing the plaintiff was ordered to amend and resubmit his statement of claim, and the Court set an additional pre-trial hearing scheduled for July 16, 2015. Based on the advice of counsel, the Company currently believes that it has no material obligations to the Plaintiff and that there is no need for a provision for the claim.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Note 10 - Equity
	A.           Share capital
	1. On January 12, 2009, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of a Shareholders Rights Plan (hereinafter – “the Plan”), as amended on January 11, 2012 and on January 9, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, each Ordinary Share of the Company shall give its holder one Right, as detailed thereto. Each such Right will become exercisable only after a person or a “Group” become an “Acquiring Person”, by obtaining beneficial ownership of, or by commencing a tender or exchange offer for, 15% or more of the Company's Ordinary Shares (the Board of Directors may reduce this percentage, but to not less than 10%), unless our Board of Directors approves such “Acquiring Person” or redeems the rights. Each Right, once it becomes exercisable, will generally entitle its holder, other than the “Acquiring Person”, to purchase from the Company either 0.4, half (1/2), one, two or three Ordinary Shares, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors,  at par value.
	On May 13, 2014, the Board unanimously voted to terminate the Plan and as of this date all rights under the Plan were cancelled.
	2. On November 28, 2014, the Company closed a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 7,187,500 ordinary shares, including shares issued pursuant to the underwriter's over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $1.6 per share. The proceeds to the Company, net of issuance costs and underwriter discount, were approximately $10,444.
	3. As to shares issued as part of business combinations, see note 1C.
	B.            Options to non-employees
	In 2012, the Company issued 130,500 par value options and shares to non-employees with respect to services rendered.  The aggregate fair value of the options was $181, based on the share market price as of day of grant.
	C.            Stock option plans
	In February 2001, Board approved an additional option plan, under which up to 75,000 share options are to be granted to the Company's employees, directors and consultants and those of the Company's subsidiaries and affiliates.
	During the years 2002 to 2010, the Board approved an increase of 12,125,000 shares options to be reserved under the Company's share option plan.
	On November 30, 2011, the Board approved a further increase of 1,000,000 options to be reserved under the Company's share option plan.
	On October 22, 2013, the Board approved a further increase of 2,500,000 options to be reserved under the Company's share option plan.
	On June 17, 2014, the Board approved a further increase of 750,000 options to be reserved under the Company's share option plan.
	The vesting period for the options ranges from immediate vesting to ratable vesting over a four- year period.  The exercise price of options under the plan is at varying prices. Those options expire up to five years after the date of the grant. Any options which are forfeited or cancelled before expiration become available for future grants.
	During 2012, some of the options were granted with a par value exercise price. Due to the par value nominal amount of NIS 0.1, the fair value of these options was estimated to be equal to the Company's share's market price at the grant date.
	The fair value of each option granted to employees during 2014, 2013 and 2012, for which the exercise price was greater than par value, was estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:
	1.Dividend yield of zero percent for all periods.
	2.Risk-free interest rate of, 0.79%-1.05%, 0.57%-1.02%, 0.76% for, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based on U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
	3.Estimated expected lives of 2.5-4 years for all periods.
	4.Expected average volatility of 64%-67%, 59%-70%, 73% for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which represent a weighted average standard deviation rate for the price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 12 - Income Taxes
	A.	The Company and its Israeli subsidiaries
	1.            Measurement of taxable income under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985
	The Company and one of its Israeli subsidiaries are foreign invested companies, and have elected, commencing January 1, 2007, to maintain their books and records in U.S dollars for tax purposes, as permitted under the tax regulations.
	2.            Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959
	The Company maintains three investment programs in buildings, equipment and production facilities, which have been granted the status of “Approved Enterprise” under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959. The Company elected to adopt the “Alternative Benefits Program” status. This status entitles the Company (due to its location in Israel) to an exemption from taxes on income derived therefrom for a period of 10 years starting in the year in which the Company first generates taxable income, but not later than 14 years from the date of approval (the last of which was received in February 2000) or 12 years from commencement of operations. The tax-exempt profits that are earned by the Company's “Approved Enterprises” can be distributed to shareholders, without additional tax liability on the Company only upon its complete liquidation.
	If these retained tax-exempt profits are distributed in a manner other than in the complete liquidation of the Company, they would be taxed at the regular corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Company had not elected the alternative system of benefits (depending on the level of foreign investment in the Company) currently between 10% to 25% for an “Approved Enterprise”. As the Company has not yet reported any taxable income, the benefit period has not yet commenced as of December 31, 2014.
	Income from sources other than the “Approved Enterprise” during the benefit period will be subject to tax at the regular corporate tax rate (see 4 below).
	The entitlement to the above mentioned benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the above mentioned law, regulations published there under and the certificates of approval for the specific investments in the Approved Enterprises. In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of linkage differences to the consumer price index and interest. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with the above-mentioned conditions as of December 31, 2014.
	Amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments – 1959
	On December 29, 2010 an amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments – 1959 was approved (hereinafter – the “Amendment to the Law”). The Amendment to the Law was published in the Official Gazette on January 6, 2011. The Amendment to the Law is effective from January 1, 2012 and its provisions will apply to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a preferred company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment to the Law. Companies can choose to not be included in the scope of the Amendment to the Law and to stay in the scope of the law before its amendment until the end of the benefits period. The 2012 tax year is the last year companies can choose as the year of election, providing that the minimum qualifying investment began in 2010.
	The Amendment to the Law provides that only companies in Development Area A will be entitled to the grants track and that they will be entitled to receive benefits under this track and under the tax benefits track at the same time. In addition, a preferred enterprise track was introduced, which mainly provides a uniform and reduced tax rate for all the Company's income entitled to benefits, such as: in the 2013-2013 tax years – a tax rate of 10% for Development Area A and of 15% for the rest of the country, in the 2013-2014 tax years – a tax rate of 7% for Development Area A and of 12.5% for the rest of the country, and as from the 2015 tax year – 6% for Development Area A and 12% for the rest of the country. On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) – 2013, which cancelled the planned tax reduction so that as from the 2014 tax year the tax rate on preferred income will be 9% for Development Area A and 16% for the rest of the country.
	The Amendment to the Law also provides that no tax will apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to a shareholder that is a company, for both the distributing company and the shareholder. A tax rate of 15% shall continue to apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to an individual shareholder or foreign resident, subject to double taxation prevention treaties, similar to the provisions of the existing law. The Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) – 2013 raised to 20% the tax rate on a dividend distributed to an individual and foreign resident out of preferred income as from January 1, 2014. Furthermore, the Amendment to the Law provides relief with respect to tax paid on a dividend received by an Israeli company from profits of an approved/alternative/beneficiary enterprise that accrued in the benefits period according to the version of the law before its amendment, if the company distributing the dividend notifies the tax authorities by June 30, 2015 that it is applying the provisions of the Amendment to the Law and the dividend is distributed after the date of the notice.
	3.            The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (taxes), 1969
	The Company believes that it qualifies as an “Industrial Company” under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry. The principal tax benefits for the Company are the deductibility of costs in connection with public offerings and amortization of certain intangibles.
		4	Tax rates
	Presented hereunder are the tax rates relevant to the Company in the years 2012-2014:
	2014 – 26.5%
	2012-2013 – 25%
	On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) – 2013, by which, inter alia, the corporate tax rate would be raised by 1.5% to a rate of 26.5% as from 2014.
	The deferred tax balances as at December 31, 2014 were calculated according to the new tax rates specified in the Law for Changes in National Priorities, at the tax rate expected to apply on the date of reversal. The effect of the change on the financial statements as at December 31, 2013 is reflected in an increase in the deferred tax asset in the amount of $ 2,394 against a similar change in the Company's valuation allowance.
	Current taxes for the reported periods are calculated according to the tax rates presented above.
	B.	Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed based on the income tax laws in their country of residence.
	C.	Deferred income taxes:
			31-Dec					31-Dec
			2014					2013
	Deferred tax assets:
	Net operating loss carryforwards		$	48,720				$	40,181

	The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, are comprised as follows:
			Year ended December 31
			2014				2013			2012
	Balance at beginning of year		$	42,691			$	42,002		$	37,643

	Other changes			5				43			23
	Balance at end of year		$	50,450			$	42,691		$	42,002
	In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences or carry forwards are deductible. Based on the level of historical taxable losses, management has reduced the deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance to the amount it believes is more likely than to be realized.
	D.As of December 31, 2014, the net operating loss carry forwards for tax purposes relating to Israeli companies amounted to approximately $178,695. Tax loss carry forwards in Israel may be carried forward indefinitely to offset against future taxable operational income. Under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985, and based on the Company's election (see note 12A(1)), tax loss carry forwards are denominated in U.S. dollars. Tax loss carry forwards relating to non-Israeli companies aggregate approximately $3,913, which will expire as follows: 2016- $50, 2017- $153, 2026 - $3,106 and 2027- $533. The remaining balance of $ 71 can be utilized with no expiration date.
	E.The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that arose in 2014 and prior years, because the Company considers these earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. A deferred tax liability will be recognized when the Company can no longer demonstrate that it plans to indefinitely reinvest these undistributed earnings. As of December 31, 2014, the undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries were approximately $4,108. These undistributed earnings will be taxed upon distribution, if at all. It is impracticable to determine the additional taxes payable when these earnings are remitted.
	F. No current or net deferred taxes were recorded in Israel. Non-Israeli income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows:
			Year ended December 31
			2014				2013			2012
	Current		$	(2	)		$	(265	)	$	(2	)
	Deferred			(108	)			62			(65	)
	Income tax expense		$	(110	)		$	(203	)	$	(67	)
	Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, differed from the amounts computed by applying the Israeli statutory tax rates of 26.5%, 25% and 25% to loss from continuing operations before taxes on income, as a result of the following:
			Year ended December 31
			2014				2013			2012
	Computed “expected” income tax benefit		$	2,673			$	1,681		$	4,452
	Decrease in income tax benefit

Other			(89	)			(96	)		(141	)
Reported income tax expense		$	(110	)		$	(203	)	$	(67	)
G.	Income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes on income consists of the following:
		Year ended December 31
		2014				2013			2012
Israel		$	(10,434	)		$	(8,842	)	$	(16,983	)
Non-Israel			347				2,117			(825	)
		$	(10,087	)		$	(6,725	)	$	(17,808	)
H.	Unrecognized tax benefits
As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, the Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued.
The Company and its major subsidiaries file income tax returns in Israel, Poland and South Africa. With few exceptions, the income tax returns of the Company and its major subsidiaries are open to examination by the Israeli and the respective foreign tax authorities for the tax years beginning in 2009.

	As described in Notes 1B(1) and 1B(2) , the Company divested its interest in the SmartID division and its interest in the German subsidiary, and presented these activities as discontinued operations. During 2013 the total gain from the SmartID Division Divesture, net of transaction costs and offset by the impairment charge of the German subsidiary assets amounted to $5,974, which is presented below as ‘other income, net'. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded profit from contingent consideration in the amount of $1,013 according to an earn out mechanism derived from the Smart ID division divesture. This profit is presented as ‘other income, net' within income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company recorded a loss from the German subsidiary divesture, including transaction costs, in the amount of $343 and a profit in the amount of $336 due to transfer of the subsidiary's  accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive loss to the statement of operations. Those amounts are presented as ‘other loss, net' from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Operating Segments [Abstract]
Operating Segments	Note 15 - Operating segments
	Through 2012, the Company had commingled sales channel payroll expense, inventories, merchandise procurement and distribution networks. As a result of these operations and in view of how the Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviewed operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance, the Company operated as a single segment. Beginning 2013, following the change of the Board and the review of all of the Company's operations in order to improve profitability, the new CODM has changed the way it reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance, and currently reports three segments which are the Group's strategic business units: Retail and Mass Transit Ticketing, Petroleum and Parking.
	The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's operating segments:
	—Petroleum - includes manufacturing and selling of fuel payment and management solutions. The Company's solution is a wireless, cashless, cardless and paperless refueling tracking and payment solution, providing customers with maximum flexibility and security.
	—Retail and Mass transit Ticketing - includes selling and marketing variety of products for cashless payment solutions for the retail market and mass transit ticketing.
	—Parking - includes selling of products and managing cashless parking solutions. The Company's parking solution is a fully integrated parking fee collection and parking management solution.
	In addition to its three reportable segments, certain products for the medical industry and other secure smart card solutions are classified under "Other".
	The strategic business unit's allocation of resources and evaluation of performance are managed separately. The CODM does not examine assets or liabilities for those segments and therefore they are not presented.
	Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below based on the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM.

Significant_Accounting_Policie1

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Statements in U.S. Dollars	A.            Financial statements in U.S. dollars
	Substantially all of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' revenues are in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of purchases of materials and components and most marketing costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, both the functional and reporting currencies of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are the U.S. dollar.
	Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts.
	For entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency, transactions and balances in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, i.e. at the date the transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, or instance of revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in the functional currency by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. When translation using the exchange rates at the dates that the numerous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are recognized is impractical, an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the period is used to translate those elements. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of such items denominated in non U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, among ‘financial expenses, net', as appropriate.
	The functional currencies of the remaining subsidiaries are their local currencies. The financial statements of those companies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses (which approximates the translation of each transaction). Translation adjustments resulting from the process of the aforesaid translation are included as a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss).
Principles of Consolidation	B.            Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions	C.            Estimates and assumptions
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Such estimates include the valuation of useful lives of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories and investments, legal contingencies, the assumptions used in the calculation of share based compensation, income taxes and other contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed by management and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results, however, may vary from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents	D.           Cash equivalents
	Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments and debt instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.
Trade Receivables	E.           Trade receivables
	Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Collection of trade receivables are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The consolidated financial statements include an allowance for loss from receivables for which collection is in doubt.  In determining the adequacy of the allowance consideration is given to each trade receivable historical experience, aging of the receivable, adjusted to take into account current market conditions and information available about specific debtors, including their financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, current payment patterns, the volume of their operations, and evaluation of the security received from them or their guarantors.
Short-term Investments	F.             Short term investments
	Short term investments consist of:
	(1)         Bank deposits whose maturities are longer than three months from the date of purchase, but not longer than one year from the balance sheet date.
	(2)         Restricted bank deposits whose maturities are not longer than one year from the balance sheet date (for further details, see note 9C).
Inventories	G.            Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by calculating raw materials, work in process and finished products on a "moving average" basis. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow moving items or technological obsolescence. Such write-offs, which were not material for the reported years, have been included in cost of revenues.
	The Company applies ASC Topic 330, Inventory which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) requiring that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the above topic requires that allocation of fixed production overhead costs be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net	H.            Property, plant and equipment, net
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
			Years
	Leasehold land (over the terms of the lease, see Note 6A(1))		49
	Buildings		25
	Computers, software and manufacturing equipment		5-Mar
	Office furniture and equipment		16-May
			(mainly - 10)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	I.             Impairment of long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets in the amount of $328.
	No impairment losses were recorded in 2014.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets	J.            Goodwill and purchased intangible assets
	Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, as of December 31 every year.
	Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $485, see note 1C(2).
	Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Revenue Recognition	K.           Revenue recognition
	The Group generates revenues from product sales, licensing and transaction fees. Revenues are also generated from non-recurring engineering, customer services and technical support.
	Revenues from product sales and non-recurring engineering are recognized when delivery has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is probable and no further obligations exist. In the case of non-recurring engineering, revenue is recognized upon completion of testing and approval of the customization of the product by the customer, provided that no further obligation exists. Revenues are recognized net of value added tax.
	License and transaction fees are recognized as earned based on actual usage. Usage is determined by receiving confirmation from the users.
	Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the term of the related contract.
	In arrangements that contain multiple elements, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-13,“Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). Such multiple element arrangements may include providing an IT solution, selling products (such as smart cards) and rendering customer services. Accordingly, the overall arrangement fee is allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence of selling price ("VSOE") or third party evidence of selling price ("TPE"). In the absence of VSOE and TPE for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, the Company is required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. Such estimated selling price has been determined using a cost plus margin approach. Since the cost for each element in such arrangements is reliably estimable, the estimated selling price was calculated by multiplying the costs by an average gross margin applicable to each element. Once the standalone selling price for each element was determined, the consideration allocated to each element was recognized as revenues upon meeting the required criteria as described above.
	In revenue arrangements that include software components, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-14. Accordingly, software revenue recognition is not applied for tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality.
	The Company has applied the guidance described above for certain arrangements which include providing IT solutions, selling products and customer services. The total arrangement consideration is allocated proportionally to the separate deliverables in the arrangement using the estimated selling price for each component. The Company recognizes revenues from sale of its IT solutions and from certain long-term contract in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts" (“ASC 605-35”).
	Pursuant to ASC 605-35, revenues from these contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method.  The Company measures the percentage of completion based on output or input criteria, as applicable to each contract. For the reported years, the Company used in all of its projects output measures with respect to measuring the progress of completion. These measures are based on completion of milestones (i.e., contract milestones as stated in the agreement such as the delivery, installation or shipments of various deliverables) and the amount of operational sites (i.e., progress is measured as a percentage of the sites that are already operational, out of the total sites that are required to be operational under the agreement).
	Following the SmartID Division Divesture, revenues from such contracts are included in “net income (loss) from discontinued operations”.
	Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made during the period in which such losses are first identified, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract. As of December 31, 2014, no such estimated losses were identified.
	Revenues and costs recognized pursuant to ASC 605-35 on contracts in progress are subject to management estimates.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Licensing and transaction fees are recognized based on the volume of transactions or monthly licensing fees from systems that contain the Company's products and usually bear no cost to the Company.
	The cost to the Company of warranting that the product will perform according to certain specifications and that the Company will repair or replace the product if it ceases to work properly, is insignificant and is treated according to accounting guidance for contingencies.
Research and Development Costs	L.            Research and development costs
	Research and development costs, which consist mainly of labor costs, materials and subcontractors, are charged to operations as incurred.
Stock-based Compensation	M.           Stock-based compensation
	Employees
	The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated grant date fair values. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
	ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires estimating the fair value of share based payments awards on the date of the grant using an option pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method.
	Non-Employees
	The Company uses an option valuation model to measure the fair value of these options at the grant date and at each subsequent reported period until the exercise date is reached. During 2013 and 2014 no options were granted. During 2012, all options were granted with a par value exercise price. Due to the par value nominal amount of NIS 0.1, the fair value of these options was estimated to be equal to the Company's market share price at the grant date.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share	N.           Basic and diluted net loss per share
	Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Shares issuable for little or no cash consideration, are considered outstanding ordinary shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per ordinary share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied.
	Outstanding stock options and warrants in the amounts of 2,241,421, 2,066,730 and 2,230,730 for December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per ordinary share because all such securities have an anti-dilutive effect for all periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	O.           Fair value of financial instruments
	The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term interest bearing investments, accounts receivable, restricted deposits for employee benefits, accounts payable and short-term and long-term loans.
	Fair value for the measurement of financial assets and liabilities is defined as 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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs for fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
	Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
	Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
	By distinguishing between inputs that are observable in the market place, and therefore more objective, and those that are unobservable and therefore more subjective, the hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measurements. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The Company, in estimating fair value for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term bank credit and trade payables are equivalent to, or approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
	The fair value of the short term investments is based on level 1 inputs.
	The fair value of the liability in respect of the contingent consideration included in business combinations (see note 1C(2)) is based on discounted future expected sales and thus is based on level 3 inputs. The liability was determined to be insignificant.
	The carrying amounts of variable interest rate long-term loans are equivalent or approximate to their fair value as they bear interest at approximate market rates. At December 31, 2014, the fair value of bank loans with fixed interest rates did not differ materially from the carrying amount.
Income Tax	P.            Income tax
	The Company accounts for taxes on income in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
	The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized.
	The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Non-controlling Interest	Q.             Non-controlling Interest
	The Company implements ASC Topic 810 Consolidation, which requires net loss (income) attributable to non-controlling interests to be classified in the consolidated statements of operations as part of consolidated net earnings and to include the accumulated amount of non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets as part of equity. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported in net earnings.
Severance Pay	R.           Severance pay
	The Company's liability for severance pay for some of its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employee multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Those employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. Certain senior executives were entitled to receive additional severance pay. During 2013 the employment of most of such senior executives was terminated and related severance pay liability was settled.
	The Company records the liability as if it were payable at each balance sheet date on an undiscounted basis. The liability is classified based on the expected date of settlement, and therefore is usually classified as a long-term liability, unless the termination of the employees is expected during the upcoming year.
	The Company's liability for those Israeli employees is partially provided for by monthly deposits for insurance policies and the remainder by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.
	The deposited funds include profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash redemption value of these policies. In addition, during 2012 the Company deposited certain amounts with a trustee, to compensate for any severance pay liability that is not covered by other funds. These deposits are restricted and may be withdrawn only for payment of severance pay liabilities. The severance pay funds and the restricted deposits for employee benefits are classified based on the classification of the corresponding liability.
	In respect of other Israeli employees, the Company obtained approval from the Israeli Ministry of Labor and Welfare, pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963, according to which the current deposits with the pension fund and/or with the insurance company exempt the Company from any additional obligation to these employees for whom the said depository payments are made. These deposits are accounted as defined contribution payments.
	Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to approximately $392, $609 and $1,630, respectively. Defined contribution plan expenses were $370, $415 and $412 in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Advertising Expenses	S.             Advertising expenses
	Advertising expenses are charged to the statements of operations as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to approximately $1,522, $1,472 and $1,550, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	T.            Concentrations of credit risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, bank deposits and trade receivables.
	Cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel and Europe. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Group's investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
	Most of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to large and financially secure organizations. In determining the adequacy of the allowance, management bases its opinion, inter alia, on the estimated risks, current market conditions, in reliance on available information with respect to the debtor's financial position.  As for major customers, see note 16.
	The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
				2014			2013			2012
	Allowance for doubtful accounts at beginning of year		$	610		$	431		$	233
	Additions charged to allowance for doubtful accounts			88			220			319
	Write-downs charged against the allowance			(27	)		(41	)		(127	)
	Currency translation differences			-			-			6
	Allowance for doubtful accounts at end of year		$	671		$	610		$	431
Commitments and Contingencies	U.           Commitments and contingencies
	Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Business Divestitures	V.            Business divestures
	As described in Note 1B, the Company sold certain operations during 2013 and 2014. Upon reaching a definitive agreement with an acquirer, the Company recognizes the consideration received from the divesture, less all assets and liabilities sold, as a gain or loss.
	Discontinued operations
	Upon divesture of a business, the Company classifies such business as a discontinued operation, if the divested business meets the following criteria:
		(i)	The business qualifies as a component of an entity, as it comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company.
		(ii)	Both of the following conditions are met or expected to be met within one year:
		1)	The operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in the disposal transaction; and
		2)	The Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The eligibility to receive contingent consideration from future sales of the divested business does not necessarily indicate that there is continuing involvement in the operations of the business.
	For disposals other than by sale such as abandonment, the results of operations of a business would not be recorded as a discontinued operation until the period in which the business is actually abandoned.
	The Company has concluded that at December 31, 2013, the SmartID Division Divesture and the German Subsidiary Divesture qualify as discontinued operations and therefore have been presented as such. The sale of PARX France and the shutdown of Smart Card Engineering (see note 1B(3) and 1B(4)) do not qualify as a discontinued operations as the Company has significant involvement after the disposal transaction.
	Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations that have not yet been actually sold are presented on the balance sheet in one line item. Assets and liabilities of such discontinued operations are not offset and are presented as such only for the current year balance sheet.
	The results of businesses that have qualified at December 31, 2013 as discontinued operations have been presented as such for all reporting periods. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations.
	Any loss or gain that arose from the divesture of a business that qualifies as discontinued operations has been included within the results of the discontinued operations.
	The Company also presents cash flows from discontinued operations separately from cash flows of continuing operations.
	Contingent consideration
	The Company's sale arrangements consist of contingent consideration based on the divested businesses future sales or profits. The Company records the contingent consideration portion of the arrangement when the consideration is determined to be realizable.
Patent litigation and maintenance expenses	W.           Patent litigation and maintenance expenses
	Patent litigation and maintenance expenses, which consist of salaries and consultants' fees, are expensed as incurred. The Company presents such expenses as a separate item within its operating expenses because it believes that such presentation improves the understandability of the statement of operations. All prior periods' Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	X.            Recent accounting pronouncements
	1.    In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the ASU, discontinued operations is defined as either a:
	Component of an entity, or group of components, that
	Has been disposed of meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, or has been abandoned/spun-off; and
	Represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results, or a
	Business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.
	Under this ASU, continuing involvement in the disposed component is no longer relevant for evaluating discontinued operations presentation. However, the ASU requires specific disclosures about entities' continuing involvement with discontinued operations.
	The new ASU is effective for the Company prospectively for both:
	All disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, and
	All business that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years.
	The extent of this standard's effect depends on the management's plan to divest operations in the future, if at all, and the Company is currently evaluating its potential effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	2	On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenues to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
	3	On August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). The ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
