Description of Business

Description of Business —Sonim Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 5, 1999, and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The Company is a leading U.S. provider of ultra-rugged mobile phones and accessories designed specifically for task workers physically engaged in their work environments, often in mission-critical roles.

On September 15, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-10 stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on that date. Additionally, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, the exercise price of all of its outstanding stock options, and the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to its equity compensation plans were adjusted proportionately in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The number of authorized shares of common stock under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the par value per share of its common stock were unchanged. All historical share and per share amounts presented herein have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these changes.

Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

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 March 31, 2022, consist of existing cash and cash equivalents totaling $10,630, and its ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity, as well as the expected positive cash flow from the sale of products that are currently in development over the next year. The Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $7,212 and used $609 in cash from operations that raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

To alleviate a potential lack of liquidity, management has entered into an agreement with an investor group to receive cash in exchange for newly issued common stock. See Note 13 for further information. This transaction must be approved by the Company’s stockholders and is subject to normal regulatory approvals. There is no guarantee that this transaction will be completed or that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

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, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

New accounting pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements:

Pronouncements adopted in 2022:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended, which requires lessees to recognize a liability associated with obligations to make payments under the terms of the arrangement in addition to a right-of-use asset representing the lessee’s right to use, or to control the use of the given asset assumed under the lease. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets, lease liability, and the derecognition of deferred lease liabilities, with the offset to equity. Beginning in 2022, the Company records lease interest and the amortization of the right-of-use assets, with a corresponding reduction in rent expense. These changes were not applied to periods prior to 2022 and make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements between periods difficult or impossible because of the differences in accounting standards used. See Note 5 for further information.
