General



Overview



We are a roadway intelligence and data services company providing products and
solutions to meet the increasing demand for smarter, safer, and greener
intelligent transportation infrastructure. Our operations are conducted by our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rekor Recognition Systems, Inc., or Rekor
Recognition, Waycare Technologies, Ltd., or ("Waycare"), and Southern Traffic
Services, Inc., or ("STS").



We specialize in: 1) the collection and aggregation of roadway and mobility
related data from multiple sources, 2) the analysis and transformation of that
data into knowledge and actionable insights, and 3) the distribution of those
insights to multiple users in a secure environment using the highest levels of
encryption and privacy standards. Our intellectual property and proprietary
technologies harness the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, machine
learning, data analysis, edge processing and communications to address critical
challenges in transportation management, public safety, urban mobility, and key
commercial markets. Our objective has been to create a collection and
distribution service that aggregates multiple streams of data relevant to a
transportation and mobility network, converges, processes and analyzes them, and
provides real-time and predictive information to decision makers and users of
that network in a flexible and rich user environment based on individual needs
and use-cases. Our Rekor OneTM  platform serves as a uniform architecture and
backbone for the collection and delivery of roadway intelligence to increase
roadway safety, efficiency and sustainability of roadways, and make communities
safer, smarter, greener and more connected. Providing products and services
across 80 countries, we deliver intelligent infrastructure solutions for
government agencies and commercial clients in the United States and around the
world.



Transportation infrastructure is the backbone of a functioning economy. People,
vehicles, materials, and information all require 24/7 mobility, something that
depends on well-maintained, synchronized networks and systems. The cost,
complexity and interdependency of these systems has made it difficult to keep
pace in a rapidly growing and changing world. Rekor's data-driven solutions help
make better use of existing infrastructure and have also been developed to aid
in planning and implementing the next generation of transportation
infrastructure, as well as be part of that infrastructure. Roads, bridges,
tunnels, and residential areas have much to tell us if we gather and analyze the
data they can provide and exploit the knowledge that gives us about how to
optimally serve the public with an efficient, safe, and healthy living
environment. Rekor is driven to help its customers generate and make intelligent
use of that knowledge.



Spurred by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, we expect the United
Sates to make an unprecedented investment in transportation infrastructure. The
bill allocates $550 billion in new spending, spread out over five years, to
rebuild roads, bridges and rails, and airports, in addition to providing
high-speed internet access and addressing climate concerns. As part of this,
federal, state, and local governments are prioritizing strategic investments
dedicated to improving existing transportation management and increasing public
safety through modern, efficient and connected infrastructure. We expect to play
an important role in meeting the need for improved data as agencies plan for and
build the transportation networks of the future. Once completed, we also expect
those networks to be data interactive: generating and distributing real-time
intelligence that can be used to improve traffic management, public safety,
maintenance and emergency services, as well as by planning agencies and users
such as connected and autonomous vehicles. Our primary objective has been to
develop the technology that will play a central role in that process.



Our first step was to develop the ability to extract a more accurate and
detailed information of roadway and mobility activity than existing technology.
We call this "ground truth data" and have used artificial intelligence
algorithms and machine learning to design computer-vision software that provides
a wealth of important data about the movements of motorized and non-motorized
vehicles, including bicycles and pedestrians. It includes vehicle
classifications, counts, direction of travel, speed, make, model, color and
other data. Our technology allows this ground truth data to be extracted by
optical and IoT sensors at the "edge" of the network, close to the source of the
activity being evaluated. Extracting relevant data at the edge improves the
ability to generate and communicate timely insights by reducing latency,
response time, and the volume of raw data that needs to be communicated through
the network.



Our platform also provides the ability to anonymize vehicle information and to
distribute discrete information to multiple users based on the specific data
that each user needs to know. This permits us to provide unmatched cross-agency
and public/private entity collaboration using a single source-of-truth while
presenting customized information to multiple users simultaneously, where
previously agencies would derive information from separate sources, at different
times and with varying degrees of accuracy. As a result, we can provide
simultaneous alerts and consistent, real-time situational awareness during
emergencies to separate agencies such as first-responders, police, fire and
medical support, while also providing other agencies with the benefit of
comprehensive, accurate and fully up-to-date archival information for use in
planning, management and maintenance. The ability of our platform to allow each
sensor in the network to be linked together and to supply customized data to
multiple users can provide significant reductions in costs for our clients as
compared to the installation and maintenance of separate dedicated systems.
Thus, the combination of our software's data extraction and distribution
capabilities allows us to simplify the network environment while enhancing its
functionality at the same time. Simply put, we can dramatically increase the
amount of usable data and actionable insights available to our clients at the
same time that we can significantly reduce the number of sensors and
infrastructure required to collect that data.



Another advantage of our software is that it can be used with a wide variety of
commercially available sensors, allowing customers as to achieve superior
results leveraging existing infrastructure investments, and with much less
expensive equipment than was previously necessary. This makes applications of
Rekor technology feasible in environments where costs were previously
prohibitive or inaccessible. While Rekor has developed a line of optical and IoT
sensors that are purpose-built to make the most efficient use of our software,
customers can use it with existing sensor systems and integrate to our network
seamlessly, without needing to install new equipment. This reduces installation
and lead time in the adoption of our solutions and facilitates cross agency
adoption and data unification.



Having achieved the ability to obtain comprehensive ground truth data more
accurately and at less expense than existing systems, our next objective was to
develop the ability to aggregate multiple sources of third-party data into the
platform. We have designed our platform to serve as a central exchange, so that
third party data can be used in tandem with our ground truth data to provide a
more holistic view of the transportation network within a particular region. We
call this the Rekor Partner Network (RPN).  RPN members include Waze, Mobileye,
Wejo, Otonomo, TomTom, Tomorrow.io, and dozens of other leading data companies
around the world. By incorporating weather forecasts, event and dispatch
schedules, historical patterns and similar data into our analysis, we can
provide a wide variety and volume of diverse and related insights that are more
comprehensive, and predictive. Using these additional sources of data, we are
able to provide our clients with a regional technology environment that ingests
and analyzes data from both existing infrastructure and third-party sources,
producing superior visibility of the transportation and mobility network in real
time, together with improved identification and predictions of disruptive
events.

Intelligence-Driven Innovation





We currently provide software, hardware and services to support intelligent
transportation networks and enhance community safety and security.  These
products and services have been designed to support a single integrated
platform: Rekor OneTM. Using this proprietary platform, Rekor can extract real
time data about the activity on a transportation network, aggregate it with
multiple streams of data from other sources, analyze and reprocess it
holistically, and then use it to distribute coherent information to customers
that can be used to make decisions about how the network should be used and
managed.



We have concentrated on developing a platform that facilitates the efficient
collection, analysis and distribution of a large volume and variety of data. The
velocity and veracity of data that we have captured and applied in building our
proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning models have provided us
with a significant first-mover advantage. From the very beginning, we have been
collecting, aggregating, cleansing, extracting, transforming, and using data to
build and improve our models. Today, we can extract and process a deeply
detailed picture of a roadway environment and what is moving in that environment
with an unmatched level of accuracy in our inferences, predictive analytics, and
insights.



We are rapidly growing the geographic area connected by smart optical IoT
devices at-the-edge to the open architecture of our Rekor One intelligence
platform. In addition to digitizing existing infrastructure by capturing
real-time data from new and existing roadway devices, our platform enables us to
extend the scope of our knowledge via proprietary algorithms that pull the data
and process it through our models. Beyond this, we are augmenting our data
through a growing network of data partners.  This provides multiple trillions of
additional data points that unlock further real-time and predictive operational
insights about what is happening in a given transportation environment at every
moment. Example data sources from our partner network include mobility,
navigation, and traffic applications, in-vehicle data, connected, autonomous
vehicles datasets, weather, supply chain, event management, and a rapidly
growing list of customer-provided and crowd-sourced data. The more data we
capture and inject into our machine learning models, the smarter and more
accurate they become. Due to the incredible strength and accuracy of our models,
we can extract more data from the roadways than ever before possible, and
generate rich multi-dimensional insights for our customers about what is
happening in real-time. In addition, we use AI-driven predictive analytics to
forecast what will happen in the next five minutes, in 12 or 24 hours, and even
days and months into the future. From these insights, customers can make better
informed proactive decisions and achieve improved operational efficiency through
a more strategic allocation of resources.



At the core of all our intelligent infrastructure solutions is the Rekor OneTM
intelligence platform. Fueled by rich data and powered by AI, Rekor OneTM is
purpose-built to be a single source of truth and insights serving multiple
customer segments and multiple missions. Built on the foundation of Rekor One,
we can simultaneously deliver vertical-specific solutions for traffic
management, public safety, and commercial markets. With our advanced technology
and domain expertise, we have developed solutions that address diverse use cases
across a number of public and private sector segments. Example use-cases we can

With access to multiple sources of data and our award-winning AI-driven
innovations, we believe we have established a leadership position in providing
these intelligent infrastructure solutions. Our solutions deliver unrivaled
insights that increase roadway safety, efficiency, and sustainability while
enabling safer, smarter, and more connected cities and communities. Using our
proprietary centralized platform we can collect, analyze, and turn
infrastructure data into insights with new products and services that help
governments and businesses increase mobility and safety, drive revenue, and
power innovation for billions of people and trillions of interactions.



The Road Ahead



We believe the world is at an inflection point. In the next five years,
governments will make significant investments to improve aging infrastructure.
Recent technological developments such as edge- and cloud-based computing
artificial intelligence, advances in rich data management and the internet of
things, have put us in a unique position to help revolutionize mobility by
developing intelligent infrastructure that closes the gap between rapidly
evolving technology and aging, legacy infrastructure. These are not just our
aspirational goals, but things we're working on now. By aggregating data from
optical sensors, connected vehicles, and third-party providers, processing it
using artificial intelligence, and packaging it to provide real-time insights
and long-term solutions, we can help governments and businesses address issues
of aging infrastructure as well as the unprecedented mobility, public safety and
environmental challenges they face.



We believe our leadership in in using advanced technology to develop intelligent
infrastructure solutions puts us in an advantaged market position at the
forefront of developing a new economy.  As we provide governments and businesses
with new products and services that use trillions of intelligent infrastructure
interactions to increase safety and sustainability, drive revenue, and power
innovation for the benefit of billions of people, we expect to serve both our
shareholders and the world at large.

Opportunities, Trends and Uncertainties





We look to identify the various trends, market cycles, uncertainties and other
factors that may provide us with opportunities and present challenges that
impact our operations and financial condition from time to time. Although there
are many that we may not or cannot foresee, we believe that our results of
operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be primarily
affected by the following:


? Growing Smart City Market - According to a United Nations report, about


           two-thirds of the world population will live in urban areas by 

2050.


           Our cities are getting larger, with longer commutes, bigger

roads and


           the resulting impact on the environment and the quality of life. 

This


           trend requires forward-thinking officials to manage assets and
           resources more efficiently. We believe that advancements in "big
           data" connected devices and artificial intelligence can provide
           Intelligent Transportation System ("ITS") solutions that can be 

used to


           reduce congestion, keep travelers safe, improve transportation, 

protect


           the environment, respond to climate change, and enhance the

quality of


           life. We believe our data-driven, artificial intelligence-aided
           solutions provide useful tools that can effectively tackle the
           challenges cities and communities are facing today and will face over
           the coming decades.
      ?    AI for Infrastructure - We believe that the application of AI to the
           analysis of conditions on roadways and other infrastructure can
           significantly affect the safety and efficiency of vehicular

travel in


           the future. As vehicles move towards full automation, there is a need
           for real-time data and actionable insights around traffic flow,
           identification of anomalous and unsafe movements - e.g. wrong way
           vehicles, stopped vehicles, or/and pedestrians on the roadway.
           Marketers and drive-thru retailers with loyalty programs can also
           benefit from rapid, lower cost identification of existing and

potential


           customers in streamlining and accelerating local vehicular flow 

as well


           as data about the vehicles on the roadway.

? Connected Vehicle Data - Today's new vehicles are equipped with dozens


           of sensors, collecting information about internal systems,

external


           hazards, and driving behaviors. This data is an untapped 

resource for


           cities and transportation agencies alike. Notably, the data from these
           vehicles represent a virtual network that is independent of the
           infrastructure which is maintained and operated by the public agencies.
           Connected vehicle sensors provide important information related to
           hazardous conditions, speed variations, intersection

performance, and


           more. This data can help agencies and cities gain more 

visibility on


           their roads, supplementing data from existing infrastructure and
           providing untapped transportation information from rural areas that are
           not served by ITS infrastructure.

? New and Expanded Uses for Vehicle Recognition Systems - We believe that


           reductions in the cost of vehicle recognition products and

services


           will significantly broaden the market for these systems. We

currently


           serve many users who could not afford the cost, or adapt to the
           restrictions of, conventional vehicle recognition systems. These
           include smaller municipalities, homeowners' associations, and
           organizations finding new applications such as innovative

customer


           loyalty programs. We have seen and responded to an increase in 

the


           number of smaller jurisdictions and municipalities that are

testing


           vehicle recognition systems or that issued requests for 

proposals to


           install a network of vehicle recognition sensors. We also expect the
           availability of faster, higher-accuracy, lower-cost systems to
           dramatically increase the ability of crowded urban areas to manage
           traffic congestion and implement smart city programs.

? Adaptability of the Market - We have made a considerable investment in


           our advanced vehicle recognition systems because we believe

their


           increased accuracy, affordability and ability to capture 

additional


           vehicle data will allow them to compete effectively with 

existing


           providers. Based on published benchmarks, our software currently
           outperforms competitors. However, large users of existing

technology,


           such as toll road operators, have long-term contracts with service
           providers that have made considerable investments in their existing
           technologies and may not consider the improvements in accuracy or
           reductions in cost sufficient to justify abandoning their current
           systems in the near future. In addition, existing providers may be able
           to reduce the cost of their current offerings or elect to reduce prices
           and accept reduced profitability while working to develop their own or
           secure advanced vehicle recognition systems from others who are also
           working to develop them. As a result, our success in

establishing a


           major position in these markets will depend on being able to
           effectively communicate our presence, develop strong customer
           relationships, and maintain leadership in providing the 

capabilities


           that customers want. As with any large market, this will require
           considerable effort and resources.




                                       32

      ?    Expansion of Automated Enforcement of Motor Vehicle Laws - We expect
           contactless compliance programs to be expanded as the types of vehicle
           related violations authorized for automated enforcement increase and
           experience provides localities with a better understanding of the
           circumstances where it is and is not beneficial. We believe that future
           legislation will increasingly allow for automated enforcement of
           regulations such as motor vehicle insurance requirements.

Communities


           are currently searching for better means of achieving compliance with
           minor vehicle offenses, such as lapsed registrations, and safety issues
           such as motorists who fail to stop for school buses. For

example, due


           to high rates of fatalities and injuries to law enforcement and 

other


           emergency response crews on roadsides, several states are

considering


           authorizing automated enforcement of violations where motorists 

fail to


           slow down and/or move over for emergency responders and law

enforcement


           vehicles at the side of the road. To the extent that legislative
           implementation is required, a deliberative and necessarily
           time-consuming process is involved. However, as states expand auto
           enforcement, the market for our products and services should

broaden in


           the public safety market.

? Graphic Processing Unit ("GPU") Improvements - We expect our business


           to benefit from more powerful and affordable GPU hardware that has
           recently been developed. These GPUs are more efficient for image
           processing because their highly parallel structure makes them more
           efficient than general-purpose central processing units ("CPUs") for
           algorithms that process large blocks of data, such as those

produced by


           video streams. GPUs also provide superior memory bandwidth and
           efficiencies as compared to their CPU counterparts. The most recent
           versions of our software have been designed to use the increased GPU
           speeds to accelerate image recognition. The GPU market is

predicted to


           grow as a result of a surge in the adoption of the Internet of 

Things


           ("IoT") by the industrial and automotive sectors. As GPU 

manufacturers


           increase production volume, we hope to benefit from the reduced cost to
           manufacture the hardware included in our products or available to
           others using our services.
      ?    Edge Processing - Demand for actionable roadway information continues
           to grow in parallel with camera resolutions. Over the last several
           decades, cameras have evolved and unlocked new capabilities with each
           advancement. Further, cellular networks have been optimized for
           downloading data rather than uploading data. As a result, while
           download speeds have improved significantly due to large

investments in


           cellular infrastructure, this has resulted in relatively small
           improvements to cellular upload speeds. With roadside 

deployments


           experiencing explosive growth in count and density, scalability,
           latency and bandwidth have become aspects of competition in the market.
           Our systems have been designed to address these issues through the use
           of more effective edge processing, enabled both by incorporating the
           increasingly effective new GPUs into our systems and continual
           improvements in the efficiency of our AI algorithms. Our edge
           processing systems ingest local HD video streams at the source and
           convert the raw video data to text data, dramatically reducing the
           volume of data that needs to be transferred through the network. Edge
           processing allows us to scale a network dramatically without the
           bandwidth, cost, latency and dependability limitations that are
           experienced by other networks where raw video needs to be

streamed to


           the cloud for processing.

? Accelerated Business Development and Marketing - Our ability to compete


           in a large, competitive and rapidly evolving industry will

require us


           to achieve and maintain a visible leadership position. As a

result, we


           have accelerated our business development marketing and 

eCommerce


           activities to increase awareness and market adoption of our new
           technology and products within the market. We anticipate that an
           increased presence in the market, the continued development of
           strategic partnerships and other economies of scale will 

significantly


           reduce the level of costs necessary to support sales of our products
           and services. However, the speed at which these markets grow to the
           degree to which our products and services are adopted is

uncertain.

? COVID 19 - The spread of a novel strain of COVID-19 around the world


           since the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant 

volatility in

U.S. and international markets. Despite the roll-out of 

vaccinations,


           there continues to be significant uncertainty around the breadth and
           duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its
           impact on the U.S. and international economies. As such, we are unable
           to determine the full impact on our operations. However, we have also
           seen a positive impact of COVID-19 on the technology sector, in which
           we are competing. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of new
           technologies by businesses. According to a McKinsey Global

Survey of


           executives, their companies have accelerated the digitization of 

their


           customer and supply-chain interactions and their internal

operations by


           three to four years. Funding for digital initiatives has

     ?    Pressure on Government Budgets - COVID-19 has caused significant strain
          on government budgets. With less money to spend and more need for
          resources, government agencies need affordable, effective, and scalable
          solutions for revenue recovery and discovery. With subscription pricing
          and an intelligent infrastructure platform that accomplishes multiple
          agency missions, we are uniquely positioned to provide agencies with
          force-multiplying tools when money and human resources are limited.
          Agencies can be better positioned to improve public safety, manage
          resources more effectively, and make an impact on their citizen's
          quality of life with limited capital expenditure. In addition, states
          adopting contactless compliance programs may be able to garner
          significant net cash contributions to their annual budgets while
          reducing the number of non-compliant vehicles on their roadways.

? Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ("IIJA") - The IIJA, signed into

law on November 15, 2021, provides for significant national investments

in the transportation systems in the United States, including over $150

billion in new spending on roadway infrastructure, including intelligent

transportation systems. We believe that our comprehensive offering of

solutions positions the Company well to emerge as a technology leader in

the expanded market for intelligent infrastructure that will benefit

from this legislation. We have identified opportunities to access

federal funding streams, and we are working to implement a program that

capitalizes on this unprecedented U.S. federal investment in public

safety, homeland security, and transportation infrastructure and ensures

that our customers are positioned to capture as much of this

extraordinary government spending as possible. Beyond the many recurring


          federal grant programs that could support customer purchases, and the
          $350 billion in American Rescue Plan Act allocations that public
          agencies are receiving now, we are particularly excited about the
          prospect of engaging in the following new funding streams that are
          contained in the IIJA.
          ?$200 million annually for a "Safe Streets and Roads for All" program

that would make competitive grants for state projects that significantly


          reduce or eliminate transportation-related fatalities.
          ?$150 million for the current administration to establish a grant
          program to modernize state data collection systems
          ?$500 million for the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing

Transportation ("SMART") Grant Program that would support demonstration

projects on smart technologies that improve transportation efficiency


          and safety



Components of Operating Results





Revenues


We derive revenues substantially from the sale of software, hardware and related services.





Software sales include subscriptions for the use of our software as a service
("SaaS") and software licenses. SaaS revenues are treated as recurring revenue
and provided both through negotiated agreements with larger governmental and
commercial customers and through subscriptions from smaller customers. License
sales are typically term agreements, including agreements for perpetual
licenses, that may include maintenance obligations for software updates that
keep up with changes in vehicle models and license plate designs.



Hardware is sold through direct sales or subscriptions and is typically sold
with a software subscription or license arrangement. Revenue from direct sales
is generally recognized when the hardware is delivered, or installation is
completed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Revenue from hardware
subscriptions may include software subscriptions and are recognized as recurring
revenue throughout the term of the subscription agreement.



Our related services include customer support and implementation services, as
well as management services such as violation notices, billing and collections,
website portals and call centers related to programs that employ our software
solutions. In addition, we engage in pilot programs with governmental and
commercial entities that include extension or renewal features that may result
in recurring revenues and/or additional point-in-time revenues at the completion
of the pilot program.


Costs of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization





Direct costs of revenues consist primarily of the portion of technical and
non-technical salaries and wages and payroll-related costs incurred in
connection with revenue-generating activities. Direct costs of revenues also
include production expenses, data subscriptions, sub-consultant services and
other expenses that are incurred in connection with our revenue-generating
activities. Direct costs of revenues exclude the portion of technical and
non-technical salaries and wages related to marketing efforts, vacations,
holidays, and other time not spent directly generating fees under existing
contracts. Such costs are included in operating expenses. We expense direct
costs of revenues when incurred.

Operating Expenses



Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, sales and
marketing, research and development and depreciation and amortization. Personnel
costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of
salaries, benefits, bonuses, payroll taxes and stock-based compensation
expenses. Operating expenses also include depreciation, amortization and
impairment of assets.



General and Administrative


General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs for our executive, finance, legal, human resources and administrative departments. Additional expenses include office leases, professional fees and insurance.





We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to remain high for
the foreseeable future due to the costs associated with our growth and the costs
of accounting, compliance, insurance and investor relations as a public company.
Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our
revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.
However, we expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease as a
percentage of our revenue over the long term.



Sales and Marketing



Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel costs, marketing programs,
travel and entertainment associated with sales and marketing personnel, expenses
for conferences and trade shows. We intend to make significant investments in
our sales and marketing expenses to grow revenue, further penetrate the market
and expand our customer base.



Research and Development



Research and development expenses consist of personnel costs, software used to
develop our products and consulting and professional fees for third-party
development resources. Our research and development expenses support our efforts
to continue to add capabilities to and improve the value of our existing
products and services, as well as develop new products and services.



We expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase in
absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research
and development efforts to enhance the functionality of our AI solutions.
However, we expect our research and development expenses to decrease as a
percentage of our revenue over the long term, although our research and
development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to
period due to the timing and extent of these expenses



Depreciation and Amortization





Depreciation and amortization expenses are primarily attributable to our capital
investments and consist of fixed asset depreciation, amortization of
right-of-use assets, amortization of intangibles considered to have definite
lives, and amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs.



Other Income (Expense)



Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense in connection with
our debt arrangements, costs associated with the extinguishment of our debt
arrangements, gains on the sale of subsidiaries, gains or losses on the sale of
fixed assets, and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents,
short-term investments and note receivables.



Income Tax Provision



Income tax provision consists primarily of income taxes in certain domestic
jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have recorded deferred tax assets
for which a full valuation allowance has been provided, including net operating
loss carryforwards and tax credits. We expect to maintain this full valuation
allowance for the foreseeable future as it is more likely than not that some or
all of those deferred tax assets may not be realized based on our history of
losses.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021





Total Revenue



                       Three Months Ended                                      Nine Months Ended

Revenue            $   7,425         $   2,615     $ 4,810         184 %   $  15,371       $  11,105     $ 4,266          38 %




Revenue increased 184% to $7,425,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2022, compared to the prior corresponding quarter. The increase in revenue for
the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2021, was primarily attributable to the synergies with our recent
acquisitions. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, revenue
attributable to our acquisition of STS was $3,503,000.



Revenue increased 38% to $15,371,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2022, compared to the corresponding prior nine-month period. The increase in
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily a result of our recent
acquisition of STS and its existing customer base. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, revenue attributable our STS acquisition was $3,990,000. As
part of our change in selling strategy, we have focused on a sales model that
employs contracts with recurring revenue. We expect these contracts to provide a
more predictable stream of revenues, compared to one-time sales of hardware and
software licenses which are generally more difficult to predict.



Cost of Revenue, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization





                       Three Months Ended

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of revenue,
excluding depreciation and amortization increased by $2,717,000 and $4,075,000
compared to the corresponding prior periods primarily due to an increase in
personnel and other direct costs such as hardware that were incurred to support
our new go-to-market strategy. As part of a sales strategy to more quickly
expand our market reach, we have recently offered certain customers short-term
pilot programs which range from three to six months. Our pilot programs
generally have lower margins due to additional upfront costs we incur to
establish the program, which will not be incurred again if the pilot program is
converted into a long-term program. In addition, the Company experienced lower
margins on certain hardware sales during these quarters.

General and Administrative Expenses





The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2021, were primarily due to a $1,863,000 and $5,654,000 increase
in personnel costs related to an increase in headcount, including a $62,000
and $184,000 increase in stock-based compensation, respectively. Additionally,
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2021, we saw an increase in rent expenses mainly
associated with our new offices throughout the United States and Israel. During
the three months ended September 30, 2022 we saw a decrease in professional fees
compared to the same three month period in 2021 due to merger and acquisition
activity experienced in the third quarter of 2021, which was related to the
Waycare acquisition.



Selling and Marketing Expenses





The increase in selling and marketing expenses during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 2021, was attributable mainly to increased marketing efforts to promote our
products and services including digital marketing and other sales efforts. In
connection with these efforts, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2022, there was an increase in staffing to support our growth plan which led to
a $1,454,000 and $3,533,000 increase in personnel costs, including a $304,000
and $931,000 increase in stock-based compensation, respectively.



Research and Development Expense





The increase in research and development expenses during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2021, was primarily attributable to the development of new
products and additional software capabilities, mainly as a result of an increase
in headcount and hours associated with research and development activities. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was an increase in
staffing to support the Company's new products which led to a $2,215,000 and
$7,162,000 increase in personnel costs, including a $520,000 and
$1,559,000 increase in stock-based compensation, respectively. Additionally,
there was an increase in sub-contractor labor associated with the development of
new products and software of $1,014,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Goodwill Impairment


During the third quarter of 2022, we experienced a significant decline in our market capitalization, which management deemed a triggering event related to goodwill. As a result, we performed an interim impairment assessment as of September 30, 2022 and determined that as of the reporting date we had an impairment related to goodwill in the amount of $34,835,000.

Depreciation and Amortization





The increase in depreciation and amortization during the year is attributable
primarily to increased technology-based intangible assets that were acquired as
part of our acquisition of Waycare.

Interest expense and other income remained consistent period over period. Other expense increased as a result of a legal settlement.

Non-GAAP Measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA





EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA



We calculate EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, adjusted for (i) impairment of intangible assets,
(ii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) losses
or gains on sales of subsidiaries, (v) losses associated with equity method
investments, (vi) merger and acquisition transaction costs and (vii) other
unusual or non-recurring items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements
of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally
accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") and should not be considered as an
alternative to net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as indicators
of our operating performance or as a measure of liquidity or any other measures
of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
are presented because we believe they are frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of a
company's ability to service and/or incur debt. However, other companies in our

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin





Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as revenue
less cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization. We define
Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We
expect Adjusted Gross Margin to continue to improve over time to the extent that
we can gain efficiencies through the adoption of our technology and successfully
cross-selling and upselling our current and future offerings. However, our
ability to improve Adjusted Gross Margin overtime is not guaranteed and could be
impacted by the factors affecting our performance. We believe Adjusted Gross
Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors, as they eliminate the
impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these
measures between periods without the impact of non-cash expenses and certain
other nonrecurring operating expenses.

Adjusted Gross Margin, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022
and 2021 decreased to 44.5% from 46.4%, and 42.9% from 57.6%, respectively. As
part of a sales strategy to more quickly expand our market reach, we have
recently offered certain customers short-term pilot programs which range from
three to six months. Our pilot programs generally have lower margins due to
additional upfront costs we incur to establish the program, which will not be
incurred again if the pilot program is converted into a long-term program. In
addition, the Company experienced lower margins on certain hardware sales during
these quarters.



Key Performance Indicators



We regularly review several indicators, including the following key indicators,
to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our
business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.



Recurring Revenue Growth


Our recurring revenue model and revenue retention rates provide significant visibility into our future operating results and cash flow from operations. This visibility enables us to better manage and invest in our business.





                        Three Months Ended

As we continue to focus on long-term contracts with recurring revenue as part of our business model, we expect recurring revenue growth in future periods to continue to increase as we move to market our suite of products through our Rekor One™ platform.





Total Contract Value



There are certain assumptions that we make when determining the total contract
value of an agreement, such as the success rate of renewal periods,
cancellations and usage estimates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022
we won contracts valued at $8,297,000, compared to $7,294,000 of contracts won
for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This represents a $1,003,000 or
14% increase, period over period. The increase in total contract value is
partially related to our strategy of entering into pilot programs that require
low initial commitments by our customers in the short term in the expectation
that they will develop into larger commitments over time. This helps grow our
pipeline and demand for our products. As pilot programs convert into longer term
and larger scale contracts, we expect to see our KPIs improve.

Performance Obligations



As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $28,606,000 of contracts that
were closed prior to September 30, 2022 but have a contractual period beyond
September 30, 2022. This represents an increase of $6,019,000 or 27% compared
to $22,587,000 of performance obligations as of December 31, 2021. These
contracts generally cover a term of one to five years, in which the Company will
recognize revenue ratably over the contract term. We currently expect to
recognize approximately 58% of this amount over the succeeding twelve months,
and the remainder is expected to be recognized over the following four years. On
occasion, our customers will prepay the full contract or a substantial portion
of the contract. Amounts related to the prepayment of the contract related to
the performance obligation for a service period that is not yet met are recorded
as part of our contract liabilities balance.



The increase in total our performance obligations is primarily related to our acquisition of STS.





Lease Obligations


As of September 30, 2022, we had material leased building space at the following locations in the U.S. and Israel:





  ? Columbia, Maryland - The corporate headquarters
  ? Tel Aviv, Israel

We believe our facilities are in good condition and adequate for their current use. We expect to improve, replace and increase facilities as considered appropriate to meet the needs of our planned operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth the components of our cash flows for the period included (dollars in thousands):





                                                     Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2022 had a net decrease of $17,772,000, which was attributable to the increase
in the loss from continuing operations of $76,288,000. This amount was partially
offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense, a non-cash
adjustment, which increased $2,813,000 to $5,413,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $2,600,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2021. This increase is due to the number of equity incentive shares that
were issued to employees and directors. Additionally, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 we recognized an impairment related our goodwill of
$34,835,000.



The net increase in net cash used in investing activities of $32,821,000 was
primarily due to an increase in the outflow of funds related to merger and
acquisition activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the
Company had net cash outflows of $6,389,000 related to the acquisition of
STS. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had net cash
outflows of $40,699,000 related to the acquisition of Waycare.



Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2022 decreased by $48,057,000 from the prior nine month period ended
September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as part of
our 2022 Sales Agreement, we received net proceeds after deducting the
underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, of
$22,758,000. In the prior comparable quarterly period, through our 2021 Public
Offering, we received net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts
and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, of $70,125,000.



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we funded our
operations primarily through cash from operating activities and the sale of
equity. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents from
continuing operations of $8,757,000 and a working capital deficit of $1,054,000,
as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $26,600,000 and working capital
of $16,989,000 as of December 31, 2021.

Liquidity


For all annual and interim periods, we will assess going concern uncertainty in
our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether
there is sufficient cash on hand, capital raises and working capital, to operate
for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the
"look-forward period", as defined in U.S. GAAP. As part of this assessment,
based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to us, we will
consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections and estimates and will make
certain key assumptions. These assumptions include, among other factors, its
ability to raise additional capital, the expected timing and nature of our
programs and projected cash expenditures and its ability to delay or curtail
these programs or expenditures to the extent we have the proper authority to do
so and consider probable that those implementations can be achieved within the
look-forward period.



We have generated losses since our inception and have relied on cash on hand and
external sources of financing to support cash flow from operations.
We attribute losses to non-capital expenditures related to the scaling of
existing products, development of new products and service offerings and
marketing efforts associated with these products and services. As of and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a working capital deficit from
continuing operations of $1,054,000 and a loss from continuing operations of
$76,288,000.



Our cash decreased by $17,844,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
primarily due to the loss from continuing operations of $76,288,000. The
decrease in cash was partially offset by offset by certain non cash adjustments
such as the goodwill impairment of $34,835,000. Additionally, the decrease in
cash was offset by the net proceeds of $22,758,000 from the 2022 Sales Agreement
(see NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY for details on the 2022 Sales Agreement).
Assuming the ability to complete sales of shares at current market prices under
stable market conditions, as of September 30, 2022, we had $26,278,000 of gross
funds available under the 2022 Sales Agreement.



Based on the Company's current business plan assumptions and the expected cash
burn rate, the Company believes that the existing cash is insufficient to fund
operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited
condensed financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.



The Company is actively monitoring its operations, the cash on hand and working
capital. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing external financing
options in order to sustain its operations. If additional financing is not
available, the Company also has contingency plans to reduce or defer expenses
and cash outlays should operations weaken in the look-forward period.



2021 Public Offering



On February 9, 2021, we issued and sold 6,126,939 shares of our common stock
(which included 799,166 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the exercise of
an overallotment option) (the "2021 Public Offering"). The net proceeds to us,
after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses
payable by us, were approximately $70,125,000.



Waycare Acquisition



On August 18, 2021, we entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") by and among the Company, Waycare, the sellers of Waycare named in
the Purchase Agreement (the "Sellers") and Shareholder Representative Services
LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers, pursuant to
which we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Waycare
from the Sellers (the "Acquisition"). The aggregate purchase price for the
shares of Waycare was $61,100,000, less the amount of Waycare's debt and certain
transaction expenses and subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The
purchase price was comprised of $40,813,000 of cash and 2,784,474 shares of our
common stock, valued at $20,287,000. As a result of the transaction, Waycare
became our wholly-owned subsidiary.



STS Acquisition



On June 17, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Southern Traffic
Services ("STS") by acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of STS. The acquisition included total consideration of $12,799,000 including;
cash consideration of $6,500,000, 798,666 shares of the Company's common stock,
valued at $2,000,000, $1,001,000 related to an earnout based on the achievement
of certain performance metrics, $1,298,000 contingent on the closing of a future
contract and a $2,000,000 note. As a result of the transaction, STS has become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.



At-the-Market Offering



On February 24, 2022, we entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement
(the "2022 Sales Agreement") with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the "Agent") to
create an at the market equity program under which we from time to
time may offer and sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share,
having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the "Shares") through
or to the Agent. The Agent is entitled to a commission equal to 3.0% of the
gross proceeds from each sale. We incurred issuance costs of approximately
$169,000 related to legal, accounting, and other fees in connection with the
2022 Sales Agreement. These costs were charged against the gross proceeds of the
2022 Sales Agreement and presented as a reduction to additional paid-in capital
on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.



For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold 9,019,062 shares
of common stock at a weighted-average selling price of $2.62 per share in
accordance with the 2022 Sales Agreement. Net cash provided from the 2022 Sales
Agreement was $22,758,000 after paying $169,000 related to the issuance cost, as
well as 3.0% or $709,000 related to cash commissions provided to the Agent.



As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
