ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
OMNIQ Corp., a Delaware corporation, formerly Quest Solution, Inc., together with its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our,” “OMNIQ,” or the “Company,” was incorporated in 1973. Since its incorporation, the Company has been involved in various lines of business.
Our Company
From 2008 to 2013, we were in the business of developing oil and gas reserves. In January 2014, we determined it was in the best interest of our stockholders to focus on operating companies with a track record of positive cash flows and larger existing revenue bases. Our strategy developed into leveraging management’s relationships in the business world for investments for us.
Since 2014, we have made the following acquisitions resulting in us becoming a leading provider of computerized and machine-vision image-processing solutions:
● Quest Solutions, Inc. (January 2014)

We provide printing solutions, credit card terminals, automatic kiosks and point-of-care units. We also offer technical service and support. Our highly tenured team of professionals has the knowledge and expertise to simplify the integration process for our customers, and our team delivers proven problem-solving solutions backed by numerous customer references.

We currently engage with several billion-dollar markets with double-digit growth, including the Global Safe City market and the Ticketless Safe Parking market.
Recent Developments
On November 21, 2023, we received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because we failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 32 consecutive business days dated October 6, 2023 to November 20, 2023. The Nasdaq rules provide us with a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of our security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. If we choose to implement a reverse stock split, it must be completed no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of 180 calendar day compliance period, which is May 10, 2024, to regain compliance.
In the event we do not regain compliance, we may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, apart from the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Staff will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.
On January 5, 2024, we received another notice from the Nasdaq Staff notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) because we failed to hold an annual meeting within one year following the last fiscal year. The Nasdaq rules provide us with a compliance period of 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq can grant an extension until June 28, 2024, to regain compliance. We scheduled the annual stockholders’ meeting, to be held on April 8, 2024. The Company intends to submit a plan of compliance with the 45-day period.
On August 9, 2023, we had received a notice from the Nasdaq Staff notifying us that in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), the Company had a market value of listed securities below the minimum $35,000,000 required for continued listing for the previous 30 consecutive trading days. Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we were provided 180 calendar days, or until February 5, 2024 to regain compliance.
On February 8, 2024, we received a new notice from the Nasdaq Staff that we had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), and thus, unless we request an appeal of this determination from the Staff, our common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on February 20, 2024, removing our securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, we could appeal the Staff’s determination to the hearings panel (the “Hearings Panel”), which may stay the suspension of the Company’s securities pending the Hearings Panels decision. We filed an appeal with the Hearings Panel on February 14, 2024, and paid the $20,000 fee for a hearing in accordance with Nasdaq Rules.

Our plan is to focus on operational excellence and cost reduction, addressing the balance sheet debt and putting together a business plan that is based on revenue growth and technological leadership.

The result is a continuous flow of opportunities for us to assist customers to evaluate, choose, implement, and support the right mobile and data collection solutions.

The Company offers a full suite of configurable packaged software solutions that provide customers with unique solutions with significant business Return on Investment (“ROI”), including:

The largest segment of data collection opportunity for us is the barcode label market providing ongoing and repeatable purchasing business. We intend to continue in the label business to drive business growth and increased margins.
Our Target Markets
The two markets we target are Safe City and Supply Chain Management. Within the Safe City market, our groundbreaking AI-based vision solutions are currently in use for sensitive Homeland Security anti-terror projects and discerning customers within the access control, airport, border crossing, municipality safety, and parking industries. We seek to utilize our expertise and software solutions in markets which provide the greatest opportunity to increase margins. Within the Supply Chain Management market, we believe we can further develop our existing customer base who need to replace their legacy systems with a new go-to-market strategy.
We have been successful in integrating mission-critical mobile-computing and data-collection solutions for small businesses up to Fortune 500 companies. The needs of our customers continue to evolve as they require new mobile and wireless technologies and services to make their business more competitive and profitable.

Our Sales Strategy
Our direct sales teams are supported by systems engineers with tenured experience in the mobile industry. The sales organization’s growth mirrors the addition of new products and services. Sales team members are organized by industry, areas of opportunity, areas of expertise, and territory. Our sales teams address national accounts offering a broad array of unique solutions for key lines of business applications, which provide opportunities for upselling and cross selling to our customers. For the Israeli market we have direct sales teams that are organized by industry and product line. In Israel we also offer comprehensive technical service and support which increases customer confidence and supports the sales process.
Salespeople are supported internally by support personnel-who coordinate quotes and logistics-and by members of the systems engineering group and software teams-who provide technical expertise.
Competition
The mobile-system-integration market is characterized by a limited number of large competitors and numerous smaller niche players. We typically pursue larger accounts and national customers, competing most often with larger channel partners. For specific solutions, we also compete with niche players who are often focused on a single industry. Hardware sales are competitive because of online retailers. We believe our consultative, integrated-solutions approach is a clear differentiator for most prospective customers.
Human Capital
OMNIQ’s operating philosophy is growth and continued success, which requires management and employees to work together in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork. Our core values emphasize an environment where safety, diversity, inclusion, talent development, training, and retention are top priorities. This has enabled us to meet various challenges over the years. Our progress reflects this strong, mutual commitment between the Company and its employees. We believe our employees are our greatest asset. We remain focused on providing friendly and safe working conditions, providing competitive pay, offering quality benefits, producing revenue for the continued growth of the Company, and supporting the communities in which we operate. We realize our success is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of our employees. Each employee at OMNIQ is a contributing partner in our future growth and we strive to maintain a mutually beneficial culture that also fosters the professional development of each employee.

Generally, the total number of employees does not significantly fluctuate throughout the year.

Pursuant to the Plan, 1,118,856 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”), were set aside and reserved for issuance. The Plan was approved by our stockholders at the December 2021, shareholders’ meeting. On February 25, 2022, the Company granted 792,500 stock options.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The information required by this item with respect to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is set forth in Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Dividends and other Distributions
OMNIQ has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company currently plans to retain future earnings to finance the growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. OMNIQ may incur indebtedness in the future which may prohibit or effectively restrict the payment of dividends. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of OMNIQ’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock pays a 6% dividend, but the Company has been unable to make such dividend payments, thus those dividends are accrued quarterly. Accrued but unpaid dividends do not bear interest.

The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties (see discussion of “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.
The Company’s consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $73.6 million, representing a decrease of $7.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2023 of $81.2 million.

On April 1, 2022, the Company closed on its acquisition of Dangot and exercised the remaining portion of its option to purchase 23.0% of the capital stock, thereby making Dangot a fully owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company paid $3,518,000 to purchase the additional shares. The Company utilized its working capital and a combination of short- and long-term loans.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The following are the principal conditions or events which potentially raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern:
● Balancing the need for operational cash with the need to add additional products.
● Timely and cost-effective development of products
● Working capital deficit of $54 million as of December 31, 2024
● Accumulated deficit of $124 million as of December 31, 2024
● Multiple years of losses from operations
● Year over year decrease in sales
● Noncompliance with certain debt covenants
Management Evaluation
Management considers the conditions outlined above as the most significant factors in raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
Management’s Plans to Mitigate and Alleviate Conditions or Events
● Management is evaluating operating expenses and is developing a plan to reduce expenditures without negatively impacting current operations.
● Management has placed a strategic focus on increasing sales with prime customers.
● Sales efforts are focused on the most profitable product lines.
● Blue Star - The Company’s total accounts payable due to Blue Star as of December 31, 2024, was approximately $53.6 million. Blue Star is an unsecured creditor, financing a substantial amount the Company’s supply chain demand. Management believes that Blue Star will continue supplying the Company with preferable credit terms. Blue Star has agreed to the annual interest rate of 5% on invoices that are past due. As an unsecured creditor of the Company, Blue Star has no incentive to force a liquidation. The Company has enjoyed a good mutual relationship for the past five years.
● Management finalized a new line of credit with an additional financial institution.
● In October 2023 management finalized an equity raise which resulted in $2.5 million in net cash received from investors.

Therefore, we completed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2023. The results of the analysis indicated an impairment loss for goodwill related to acquisitions prior to 2021, and we recorded a non-cash impairment of $14.7 million.
Other Income and Expenses
The Company incurred $3.5 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interest expense is comprised of interest incurred on promissory notes payable, the company’s line of credit, and vendor payables.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company has multiple subsidiaries conducting operations in Israel, therefore there were transactions denominated in currency other than US dollars for both 2024 and 2023. Foreign transaction gains and losses are reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and were included in the amount of loss from comprehensive income.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has $12 thousand of current income tax expense (US State & Local and Foreign) and $882 thousand deferred income tax benefit.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has $741 thousand of current income tax provision (US State & Local and Foreign) and $221 thousand deferred income tax expense.
Net loss
The Company realized a net loss of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decreased loss in 2024 is due primarily to impairment of goodwill from prior year not in 2024 and the decrease in revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash in the amount of $2.3 million and a working capital deficit of $54 million, compared to cash in the amount of $1.7 million, and a working capital deficit of $45 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company had stockholders’ deficit attributable to OmniQ stockholders of $43.9 million and $35 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase in our stockholders’ deficit was primarily attributable to net losses.
The Company’s accumulated deficit was $123.9 million and $113.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s operations provided net cash of $2.4 million and $170 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of cash from operations of $2.2 million is primarily a result of increase in payables and other liabilities.
The Company’s cash used in investing activities was $32 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to cash used by investing activities of $331thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s financing activities used $2.87 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2024, and used $50 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 20243, the Company made payments of $3.2 million on its notes payable, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, when the Company made payments of $1.4 million on its notes payable, including its Supplier Secured Promissory note and related party notes payable. Additionally, the Company received $292 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2024 on its line of credit and had paid $1.6 million on the Company’s line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company raised no funds in the year ended December 31, 2024 and raised net proceeds of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company currently does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of many accounting principles requires us to make assumptions, estimates, and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates, and/or judgments, however, are often subjective and may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts first become known. We believe the following critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying assumptions, estimates, and/or judgments. See also note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.
We combine contracts with the same customer into a single contract for accounting purposes when the contracts are entered into at or near the same time and the contracts are negotiated as a single commercial package, consideration in one contract depends on the other contract, or the services are considered a single performance obligation. Our contracts are typically governed by a customer purchase order or work order. The contract generally specifies the delivery of what constitutes a single performance obligation. If an arrangement involves multiple performance obligations, the items are analyzed to determine the separate units of accounting, whether the items have value on a standalone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of their standalone selling price. The total contract transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the performance obligations. The standalone selling price is based on an observable price for services sold to other comparable customers.
As discussed in more detail below, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.
A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue when we invoice customers, or receive customer cash payments, in advance of satisfying the related performance obligation(s) under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when we have satisfied the related performance obligation.
We have four main revenue streams: (1) Hardware sales, (2) Hardware installation/configuration, (3) Hardware service contracts, and (4) Third-party software sales. For all these revenue streams, our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and therefore, revenue is recognized at the point in time when a customer takes control of the good or asset created by the service. Factors that may indicate transfer of control are when we have the right to receive payment for the good or service, when the legal title of the asset has been transferred, physical possession of the asset has been transferred, the customer obtains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and the customer accepts the asset. For some customers, control is transferred when the customer, or the customer’s courier, picks up the hardware from our warehouse. For other customers, control is transferred upon delivery. For hardware sales which also include installation and/or configuration as a single performance obligation, control is transferred only when the hardware is delivered and installed/configured. For hardware service contracts and for third-party software sales, the Company acts as the agent in the transaction, and thus recognizes revenue on a net basis at a point in time when the transaction has been facilitated.
We leverage drop-ship shipments with many of our partners and suppliers to deliver hardware to our customers without having to physically hold the inventory at our warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. We recognize revenue for drop-ship arrangements on a gross basis as the principal in the transaction when the product is received by the customer because we control the product prior to transfer to the customer. We also assume primary responsibility for the fulfillment in the arrangement, we assume inventory risk if something were to happen to the hardware during shipping, we set the price of the product charged to the customer, we assume credit risk for nonpayment by our customer, and we work closely with customers to determine their hardware specifications.
Management reviews historical returns on at least an annual basis to determine the need for an allowance for sales returns. Historically, sales returns have been extremely limited, with the effect on the financial statements immaterial. Sales returns during any particular year are so small and so infrequent that management determined that any material reserve against sales returns would likely not be appropriate.
Definite-lived Intangible Assets Impairment Evaluation
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of definite-lived intangibles when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of its use of acquired assets or its overall business strategy, and significant industry or economic trends. The Company amortizes definite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company recorded no impairment loss for definite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, the Company determines the recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate and recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset.
If the Company’s revenues or other estimated operating results are not achieved at or above our forecasted level, and the Company is unable to recover such costs through price increases, the carrying value of certain of the Company’s intangible assets may prove to be unrecoverable and we may incur impairment charges of definitive-live intangible assets.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized but are required to be reviewed for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances indicate that carrying value may exceed fair value. The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then the Company must calculate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it with its carrying amount, including Indefinite-lived intangible assets and recognize impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, considering the related income tax effect from any tax-deductible goodwill.
Stock Based Compensation
We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.
We record stock-based compensation expense according to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”). Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the provisions of Topic 718, the Company determines the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments and the amortization method for compensation cost.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the expected volatility and expected option life consistent with Topic 718. The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is estimated based on a historic volatility rate and the expected option life is calculated based on historical stock options as the best estimate of future exercise patterns. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed US treasury rates consistent with the expected life of each stock option grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Compensation expense is recorded for all stock options expected to vest based on the amortization of the fair value at the date of grant on a straight-line basis primarily over the vesting period of the options.
Foreign conflicts
We are closely monitoring developments in the war between Israel and Hamas that began on October 7, 2023 including potential impacts to The Companies business, customers, suppliers, employees, and operations in Israel, the Middle East and elsewhere. At this time, impacts to The Company are expected to be minimal but is subject to change given the volatile nature of the situation.
Additional accounting policies can be found in Note 16 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires retrospective disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal December 31, 2024 year-end and interim periods beginning in fiscal 2025, with early adoption permitted. Our CODM is Shai Lustgarten, our CEO. See Note 18 - Operating Segments for required disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal December 31, 2025 year-end, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures; it will not have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses. Upon adoption, we will be required to disclose in the notes to the financial statements a disaggregation of certain expense categories included within the expense captions on the face of the income statement. The standard is effective for our 2027 annual period, and our interim periods beginning in 2028, with early adoption permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently assessing adoption timing and the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such terms are defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company acknowledges that any controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives.
We have carried out an evaluation as required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Although we have determined that the existing controls and procedures are not effective, the deficiencies identified have not been deemed material to our reporting disclosures.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, and affected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving their objectives. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Due to their inherent limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. It is possible to design safeguards to reduce, but not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on such evaluation, our CEO concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.
As a result of our evaluation, we identified a material weakness in our controls related to segregation of duties and other immaterial weaknesses in several areas of data management and documentation.
Our management is composed of a small number of professionals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. Accordingly, and as a result of the material weakness identified above, we have concluded that the control deficiencies result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls. We continue to employ and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by executives. In addition, we evaluate and assess our internal controls and procedures regarding our financial reporting, utilizing standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2009 Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary on an on-going basis.
While the material weakness set forth above was the result of the scale of the Company’s operations and is intrinsic to its small size, the Company believes the risk of material misstatements relative to financial reporting are minimal.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by its registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Clawback Policy
On December 1, 2023 the Board adopted the OMNIQ Corp. Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), providing for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company in the event the Company is required to restate any of its financial statements filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act in order to correct an error that is material to the previously-issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Adoption of the Clawback Policy was mandated by new Nasdaq listing standards introduced pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10D-1. The Clawback Policy is in addition to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which permits the SEC to order the disgorgement of bonuses and incentive-based compensation earned by a registrant issuer’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer in the year following the filing of any financial statement that the issuer is required to restate because of misconduct, and the reimbursement of those funds to the issuer. A copy of the Clawback Policy has been filed herewith and can also be found at www.omniq.com/investor-lounge.
