NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts or as otherwise disclosed)
NOTE 1 —The Company and its significant accounting policies
Description
of Business —Sonim Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
Liquidity
and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern – The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements account for the
continuation of our business as a going concern. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the development
and release of new products. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2023, consist of existing cash
and cash equivalents totaling $
Basis of presentation and preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sonim Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Sonim” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).
New accounting pronouncements:
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Pronouncements adopted in 2023:
None.

NOTE 2 —Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of products, which are primarily mobile phones, tablets, and related accessories, and the majority of the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, namely the delivery of product. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account for revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company also recognizes revenue from other contracts that may include a combination of products and non-recurring engineering (NRE) services or from the provision of solely NRE services. Where there is a combination of products and NRE services, the Company accounts for the promises as individual performance obligations if they are concluded as distinct. Performance obligations are considered distinct if they are both capable of being identified and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as the degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company did not have any contracts in which the products and NRE services were concluded to be a single performance obligation. In certain cases, the Company may offer tiered pricing based on volumes purchased for specific products. To date, all tiered pricing provisions have fallen into observable ranges of pricing to existing customers, thus, not resulting in any material right which could be concluded as its own performance obligation. In addition, the Company does not offer material post-contract support services to its customers.
Net revenue for an individual contract is recognized at the related transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the goods and/or services. The transaction price for product sales is calculated as the product selling price, net of variable consideration, which may include estimates for marketing development funds, sales incentives, and price protection and stock rotation rights. The Company records reductions to net revenues related to future product returns based on the Company’s expectations and historical experience. Typically, variable consideration does not need to be constrained as estimates are based on specific contract terms. However, the Company continues to assess variable consideration estimates such that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The transaction price for a contract with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices for products are determined based on the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable. Standalone selling price of the professional services are mostly based on time and materials. The Company determines its estimates of variable consideration based on historical collection experience with similar payor classes, aged accounts receivable by payor class, terms of payment agreements, correspondence from payors related to revenue audits or reviews, the Company’s historical settlement activity of audited and reviewed claims and current economic conditions using the portfolio approach. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized will not occur in future periods.
Revenue is then recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware is recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. For most of the Company’s revenue attributable to hardware, control transfers when products are shipped. Revenue attributable to professional services is recognized as the Company performs the professional services for the customer.

Contract costs
Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred when the amortization period of the assets that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expenses.
The
non-recurring costs
associated with design and development of new products for technical approval represent costs to fulfill a contract pursuant to
ASC 340-40 Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes these contract
fulfillment costs and amortizes such costs over the estimated period of time over which they are expected to be recovered, which is typically
Contract balances
The
Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash
payments are received or due in advance of performance. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and deferred revenue, where
the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations. Contract liabilities are presented as a component of deferred revenue on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the contract liabilities were and $
NOTE 3 —Fair value measurement
The fair value measurements standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the standard are described below:
Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
| ● | Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| ● | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
| ● | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
| ● | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The assets or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
Money market funds are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts or as otherwise disclosed)
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

NOTE 8 —Income Taxes
In
determining quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses the annual estimated effective tax rate applied to the actual year-to-date profit
or loss, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. The Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate differs from the
U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of state taxes, foreign taxes, and changes in the Company’s valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded provisions for income taxes of

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain statements in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical statements of fact and those regarding our intent, belief or expectations, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our business strategies, growth prospects, operating and financial performance, plans, estimates and projections. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and on information currently available to us. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:
| ● | The availability of cash on hand and other sources of liquidity to fund our capital expenditures. | |
| ● | We may not be able to continue to develop solutions to address user needs effectively, including our next generation products, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to continue operations; | |
| ● | Our ability to incorporate emerging technologies into our new consumer products given the lengthy development cycle; | |
| ● | Our ability to adapt to shortened customer lead times and tightened inventory controls from our key customers; | |
| ● | A small number of customers account for a significant portion of our revenue; | |
| ● | We are materially dependent on some customer relationships that are characterized by product award letters and the loss of such relationships could harm our business and operating results; | |
| ● | Our quarterly results may vary significantly from period to period; | |
| ● | We rely primarily on third-party contract manufacturers and partners; | |
| ● | If our products contain defects or errors, we could incur significant unexpected expenses, experience product returns and lost sales, experience product recalls, suffer damage to our brand and reputation, and be subject to product liability or other claims; |
| 14 |
| ● | We are required to undergo a lengthy customization and certification process for each wireless carrier customer; | |
| ● | We are dependent on the continued services and performance of a concentrated and limited group of senior management and other key personnel; | |
| ● | We face risks related to the impact of global macroeconomic events, inflation, and COVID-19; | |
| ● | Changes in laws and regulations concerning the use of telecommunication bandwidth could increase our costs and adversely impact our business; | |
| ● | If we are unable to successfully protect our intellectual property, our competitive position may be harmed; | |
| ● | Others may claim that we infringe on their intellectual property rights, which may result in costly and time-consuming litigation and could delay or otherwise impair the development and commercialization of our products; and | |
| ● | We have identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements |
The above is not a complete list of factors or events that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations, and we cannot predict all of them. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this report, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. You should review the “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2022, and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if the forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Company Overview
Sonim Technologies is a leading U.S.-based provider of ultra-rugged mobile devices and accessories designed specifically for task workers physically engaged in their work environments, often in mission-critical roles. As part of our expansion efforts, the Company will be introducing our Connected Solutions division which will begin launching products in 2024 in the U.S., Canada and Asia/Pacific. Connected Solutions will primarily consist of mobile hotspots, fixed wireless and USB dongle devices. In addition to this, the Company will be launching a line of consumer durable products to address consumers that need more protection in their devices without sacrificing key design elements and maintaining an attractive price point.
Revenues are primarily generated from sales of our mobile phones and industrial-grade accessories, predominantly to wireless carriers in the United States and Canada. We currently have product available at all 3 U.S. Tier 1 carriers – AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon as well as the 3 primary carriers in Canada – Bell, Telus and Rogers. These carriers then resell our products, along with network services, to end customers focusing on two primary end markets: industrial enterprise and public sector. We also sell our tablets to a customer who rebrands them for sale in the U.S.
Given our primary sales channels in the U.S. and Canada consist of large wireless carriers, our customer base is somewhat concentrated. As of June 30, 2023, large wireless carriers contributed 38% of our revenues, with our top three carrier customers accounting for 34%. Our tablet customer represents 57% of our revenue. During this period, smartphones constituted 29% of our revenues, feature phones 13%, and tablets 57%. We anticipate tablet sales will continue through 2024.
While we continue to design ultra rugged phones and accessories, we are broadening our product range to appeal to a more diverse audience. Our core value proposition, which has earned us a loyal following, remains the foundation of our expanded offerings, including rugged durable phones and wireless data devices. These new products will not only expand our portfolio of products but will allow the Company to diversify our customer base into new markets. New product launches will begin in 2024 and continue over the next few years.
Our key value proposition in the market is to incorporate specific elements of our rugged roots into our new products with added durability without sacrificing attractive design and value pricing. We believe this is an underserved market opportunity in the consumer space. Our expertise in carrier mobility leads us to a natural extension into data devices, where we can leverage our technical expertise as well as our streamlined organization to bring better quality, better specs and low cost to the marketplace.
To ensure quality, cost-effectiveness, and reliability in our supply chain, we directly manage the procurement of certain final assembly materials for our products, including memory and LCDs. To optimize costs and operational efficiency, we’ve largely outsourced manufacturing functions, software development, and quality control to third parties. Our ongoing commitment at Sonim is to maintain the exceptional durability and reliability our brand is known for, while developing differentiated products that attract and retain a broader customer base.

Net Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net revenues increased 124% to $26.8 million, from $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net revenues was due to $14.7 million in tablet sales. The tablet sales are expected to continue over the next year. Smartphone sales increased as XP10 sales of $8.9 million in 2023 were higher than the $5.9 million of XP8 sales in the prior year. This was offset by a decrease in feature phone sales as demand for feature phones has declined, as compared to the previous product cycle. Feature phone subscribers tend to hold on to their devices longer than the typical two-year upgrade cycle. As a result, the product lifecycle of these devices is longer, and we will continue to see revenue from these products over the next few years. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, we received product awards from carriers for our connected solutions suite of products as well as our consumer durable line of devices that will be available in 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net revenues increased 109% to $52.6 million, from $25.2 million in 2022. The increase is due to $30.0 million in tablet sales in 2023. The tablet was not launched until the third quarter of 2022. We expect sales of our smartphones to increase in the third quarter as we launched the XP10 in the third quarter with Verizon. Both XP10 and XP3plus are available on all 3 U.S. Tier 1 carriers beginning in Q3 2023. Additionally, XP10 is available on all 3 major Canadian carrier networks making Sonim products the most widely distributed rugged brand in North America.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended June, 30, 2023 increased 55% from 2022 due to higher revenue from tablet sales in 2023. We expect gross profit to increase in the third quarter as we sell more smartphones, which have higher profit margins than the tablets.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 97% to $8.6 million from $4.4 million in 2022. The higher gross profit is from higher revenue from tablets and because smartphone sales were higher, and smartphones have a higher profit margin as compared to tablets and feature phones. We expect smartphone sales to increase in the third quarter of 2023 and this should improve gross profit.
Operating Expenses and Net Operating Income
Net operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 improved by $5.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, driven by increased gross profit of $1.5 million due to tablet sales in 2023, a decrease in research & development expenses of $2.7 million because there were no R&D projects in 2023. We expect R&D expenses to remain low as much of the R&D activity will be performed by our third-party manufacturers who will pass along these costs through higher per unit prices to us.
Net operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 improved by $12.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. R&D expenses decreased by $6.8 million because we had no R&D projects in 2023, and profits from tablet sales increased operating income by 3.0 million. The remaining improvement was from lower payroll costs in sales and marketing, and general and administrative areas due to cost cutting.

Research and Development.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were zero as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, because 2022 included R&D for the XP5plus and the XP10, but there were no R&D projects during 2023. Although we received new product awards subsequent to June 30, 2023, we expect R&D to remain low as we expect our third-party device manufacturers to pay for the majority of R&D on new products. They will pass along those costs through higher product costs to us.
R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $0.1 million as compared to $6.9 million in 2022. R&D in 2022 was for the XP10, our new smartphone, and the XP5plus, a new feature phone. Our third-party manufacturers are expected to pay for a significant portion of R&D on new products in the future.
Sales and Marketing.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $0.2 million or 12% lower than the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to lower payroll related expenses. After the 2022 first quarter, the Company reduced headcount for sales and marketing.
Sales and Marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $0.7 million or 16% lower than 2022 due to lower payroll related expenses. Headcount was reduced during the second quarter of 2022.
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $0.4 million or 19% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, because of a reduction in outside consultants for finance, accounting, and equity administration.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $0.7 million or 16% as compared to 2022 because of a reduction in outside consultants.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased for both the three months and six months ending June 30, 2023 because higher net income caused higher income tax expense. This income tax expense for the U.S. is accrued as we do not expect to pay cash for a few years due to Net Loss Carryforwards for our U.S. federal taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have funded operations from a combination of public and private equity financings, convertible loans from existing investors and borrowings under loan agreements. As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any convertible loans or any other borrowing structures in place.
Currently, our principal source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents totaling $9.7 million, as of June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our net income was $0.7 million and our use of cash from operations was $3.4 million. Our cash balance is expected to cover any negative cash flow that may be caused by developing new products over the next year. Increased revenue from new products are expected to increase cash flow in 2024. We expect to meet all obligations with existing cash and operating cash flow for a period of at least one year from the date of release of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are investigating various options to raise capital through the issuance of debt. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from an inability to pay obligations. Cash at June 30, 2023, was $9.7 million, or $3.5 million lower than net cash of $13.2 million on December 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by an increase in accounts receivable of $4.2 million due to longer delivery times to the end customer for tablets that cause longer than traditional payment cycle.
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented:
Six Months ended June 30, | ||||||||
| (in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (3,397 | ) | $ | 156 | |||

| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | (73 | ) | 6,772 | |||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | (3,493 | ) | 6,922 | |||||
Cash flows from operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million, primarily attributable to a net increase in our net operating assets and liabilities of $6.0 million, which was partially offset by net non-cash charges of $1.9 million and net income of $0.7 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.1 million (increased sales to our tablet customer), and an increase in contract fulfillment assets of $1.1 million (capitalized costs for phone certifications). Additionally, accrued severance and accrued bonuses decreased by $1.2 million due to payments in 2023. Non-cash charges primarily consist of $1.2 million in depreciation and amortization, and $0.7 million for stock-based compensation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 million. Our net loss of $11.4 million was offset by positive improvements in account receivable of $5.5 million (collection of a customer’s receivables from the fourth quarter of 2021), inventory $2,1 million (sale of end-of-life products and fewer inventory purchases of next generation products), prepaid expenses $2.8 million (amortization of insurance prepaids), and non-trade receivables $1.0 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $0.4 million in depreciation and amortization and $0.8 million in stock-based compensation expense.
Cash flows from investing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no significant investing activities.
Cash flows from financing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant financing activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities was $6.8 million due to cash received from investors for the purchase of the Company’s common stock.
Material Cash Requirements
There have been no material changes to our material cash requirements from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates
See Note 1 for critical accounting policies and estimates
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.
A description of our critical accounting policies that represent the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes,
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Segment Information
We have one business activity and operate in one reportable segment.
JOBS Act
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. We expect to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an emerging growth company. As a result, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) December 31, 2024 (the last day of the fiscal year following May 14, 2024, the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1,235 billion, (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a smaller reporting company, which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our prospectuses and in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control and Plan for Remediation
As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the design and implementation of our IT general controls including a failure to document reviews of changes to user roles in our financial reporting systems and subsystems. Management has taken and continues to take significant and comprehensive actions to remediate the material weakness. Although we have made progress with the remediation of these issues, these remediation actions are ongoing, During the second quarter of 2023, we were unable to remediate this internal control weakness because the new control was not in effect the entire period.
As part of our remediation efforts, we improved our IT general controls by removing most elevated (administrator) access to financial reporting systems and by providing additional controls over administrator system access. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we improved our IT general controls by implementing new auditable evidence of ongoing reviews of changes in user roles.
The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect this material weakness to be fully remediated by the end of 2023.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the desired control objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals in all future circumstances. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the changes related to the Company’s remediation efforts described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
For information regarding our material legal proceedings, see “Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as set forth below.
| 1. | The risk factor titled “We have failed, and may continue to fail, to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq, and as a result our common stock may become delisted, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock” shall be amended and restated as follows: |
There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
Previously, we experienced several instances where the Company was unable to meet the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, and the Company had to implement a reverse stock split in some of those events. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum share price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our securities. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of the securities and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so.
In the event of a delisting, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow our securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, prevent our securities from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum share price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. Additionally, if our securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell our securities unless a market can be established or sustained.
| 2. | The following additional risk factor shall be added supplementally: |
Our entry into the data device sector could divert our management team’s attention from existing products, cause delays in launching our new products, or otherwise have a significant adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
In August of 2023, as part of our expansion efforts, we announced an expansion of our product portfolio and introduced a new Connected Solutions division which is set to begin launching products in 2024 in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia/Pacific. Connected Solutions will primarily consist of mobile hotspots, fixed wireless, and USB dongle devices. The success of this new division depends in large part on our team’s ability to correctly identify and address the market opportunity, to execute our plans to develop, manufacture, market, and sell our new family of data devices.
We will need to find efficient manufacturing capabilities of our ODM partners and processes and develop the supply chains necessary to support our expansion into the data device sector. Our production plan for this product expansion is based on many key assumptions, including that:
| ● | we correctly estimated customer demand for our new product portfolio; | |
| ● | we will be able to timely engage manufacturers for the manufacturing of these products on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us; | |
| ● | manufacturers will be able to obtain needed components on a timely basis and in the necessary quantities; | |
| ● | we will be able to complete the final product design for delivery to our manufacturers in a timely manner; and | |
| ● | manufacturers will be able to produce these devices in a timely manner. |
Our entry into these next-generation devices, and in the overall data device sector other than smartphones, may divert our management team’s attention from existing products development and may cause our inability to achieve the planned product portfolio expansion which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
