NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2021

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Business Description and Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

Oblong, Inc. (“Oblong” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in May 2000 and is a provider of patented multi-stream collaboration technologies and managed services for video collaboration and network applications. Prior to March 6, 2020, Oblong, Inc. was named Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint”). On March 6, 2020, Glowpoint changed its name to Oblong, Inc.

Basis of Presentation

The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31, of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of the Company's management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The December 31, 2020 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2021 (the “2020 10-K”).

The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oblong and our 100%-owned subsidiaries, (i) GP Communications, LLC (“GP Communications”), whose business function is to provide interstate telecommunications services for regulatory purposes, (ii) Oblong Industries, and (iii) the following subsidiaries of Oblong Industries: Oblong Industries Europe, S.L. and Oblong Europe Limited. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for all subsidiaries.

Segments

The Company currently operates in two segments: 1) the Oblong (formerly Glowpoint) business, which includes managed services for video collaboration and network applications, and 2) the Oblong Industries business, which includes products and services for visual collaboration technologies. See Note 11 - Segment Reporting for further discussion.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements for reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. The significant areas of estimation include

-7-

determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated lives and recoverability of property and equipment, and intangible assets, the inputs used in the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets in connection with our impairment tests, and the inputs used in the fair value of equity based awards as well as the values ascribed to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2020 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the asset’s useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded asset impairment charges on property and equipment of $31,000 for the discontinued use of, or disposal of, property and equipment. These charges are included in “Impairment Charges” on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no impairment charges related to property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13 as amended, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” Topic 326 introduces an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (e.g. accounts receivable, loans and held-to-maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Liquidity and Going Concern Uncertainty

As of March 31, 2021, we had $3,964,000 of unrestricted cash, obligations of $2,417,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program loan (the “PPP Loan”), and working capital of $1,689,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $3,433,000 and used $1,235,000 of net cash in operating activities. See further discussion of the PPP Loan in Note 6 - Debt.

Our capital requirements in the future will continue to depend on numerous factors, including the timing and amount of revenue for the Company, customer renewal rates and the timing of collection of outstanding accounts receivable, in each case particularly as it relates to the Company’s major customers, the expense to deliver services, expense for sales and marketing, expense for research and development, capital expenditures, the cost involved in protecting intellectual property rights, the amount of forgiveness of the PPP Loan, if any, and the debt service obligations under the PPP Loan. While our acquisition of Oblong Industries provides additional revenues to the Company, the cost to further develop and commercialize Oblong Industries’ product offerings is expected to exceed its revenues for the foreseeable future. We expect to continue to invest in product development and sales and marketing expenses with the goal of growing the Company’s revenue in the future. The Company believes that, based on the Company’s current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and cash flows, it will not have sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next twelve months following the filing of this Report. We believe additional capital will be required to fund operations and provide growth capital including investments in technology, product development and sales and marketing. To access capital to fund operations or provide growth capital, we will need to raise capital in one or more debt and/or equity offerings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising necessary capital or that any such offering will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

-8-

See Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion regarding certain additional factors that could impact the Company’s liquidity in the future.

Note 3 - Goodwill

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, goodwill was $7,367,000, comprised of amounts recorded in connection with the October 1, 2019 Acquisition of Oblong Industries.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on September 30 of each year, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company operates two reporting segments, Oblong (formerly Glowpoint) and Oblong Industries. In March 31, 2020, we considered the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and resulting declines in certain of the Company’s revenue to be a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test for both reporting units. To determine the fair value of each reporting unit, as of March 31, 2020 for the goodwill impairment tests, we used a weighted average of the discounted cash flow method and a market-based method (comparing the Company’s equity and analyzing multiples of revenue for comparable companies). For the Oblong Industries reporting unit, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, therefore no impairment charge was required. For the Oblong (formerly Glowpoint) reporting unit, we recorded an impairment charge on goodwill of $541,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value on the test date. This charge is recognized as an impairment charge on our condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no such triggering events during the three months ended March 31, 2021, therefore, no impairment charges were recorded.

The activity in goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 is shown in the following table ($ in thousands):


Goodwill	Oblong (formerly Glowpoint)		Oblong Industries		Total
Balance December 31, 2019	$	541	$	7,367	$	7,908
Impairment charges	(541)		—		(541)

Balance December 31, 2020	—		7,367		7,367


Balance March 31, 2021	$	—	$	7,367	$	7,367

In the event we experience future declines in our revenue, cash flows and/or stock price, this may give rise to a triggering event that may require the Company to record additional impairment charges on goodwill in the future.

At each reporting period, we determine if there was a triggering event that may result in an impairment of our intangible assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we considered the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and resulting declines in certain of the Company’s revenue to be a triggering event for an interim impairment test of intangible assets for both reporting units. Based on the corresponding recoverability test, we determined that no impairment charges were required for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we considered the decline in revenue for Oblong Industries to be a triggering event for an interim impairment test of intangible assets for this reporting unit. Based on the corresponding recoverability test of Oblong Industries’ intangible assets, we determined no impairment changes were required for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from five years to twelve years in accordance with ASC Topic 350.

The weighted average lives for the components of intangible assets are as follows:


Oblong (formerly Glowpoint)
Affiliate network			12 years


Oblong Industries
Developed technology			5 years
Trade names			10 years
Distributor relationships			5 years

Related amortization expense was $597,000 and $611,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Amortization expense for each of the next five succeeding years will be as follows (in thousands):

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 10, 2020 (the “Origination Date”), the Company received $2,417,000 in aggregate loan proceeds (the “PPP Loan”) from MidFirst Bank (the “Lender”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note (the “Note”), dated April 10, 2020, by and between the Company and the Lender. Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1.0%) per annum. Payments of principal and interest are deferred for the first six months following the Origination Date. Following the deferral period, the Company will be required to make payments of principal plus interest accrued under the PPP Loan to the Lender in 18 monthly installments based upon an amortization schedule to be determined by the Lender based on the principal balance of the Note outstanding following the deferral period and taking into consideration any portion of the PPP Loan that is forgiven prior to that time. The PPP Loan is unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The Paycheck Protection Program provides for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds during the 24-week period following disbursement for eligible purposes as described in the CARES Act and related guidance. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is generally available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period. The Company used the majority of the proceeds from the PPP Loan to pay expenses during the applicable period that the Company believes were for eligible purposes; certain reductions in Company payroll costs during this period may reduce the amount of the Note eligible for forgiveness. In May 2021, the Company submitted an application to the Lender for forgiveness of the PPP Loan and the application is currently under review by the Lender. There is no guarantee that the Company will receive forgiveness for any fixed amount of any PPP Loan principal received by the Company.

Under the revised rules for the PPP Loan program, the Company will not have to begin principal and interest payments before the date on which the SBA remits the loan forgiveness amount to the Lender (or notifies the Lender that no loan forgiveness is allowed). Following the decision on forgiveness, the Company will be required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest based on the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan, plus interest outstanding at the end of the deferment period, and taking into account any reductions in the principal amount due to forgiveness, if any. Interest accrued during the deferment period will be capitalized as principal.

The Company has accounted for the PPP Loan in the same manner as it has for its other loan agreements. Payments that are due within 12 months of balance sheet dates are shown as current liabilities and payments due thereafter are shown as non-current liabilities. We expect our forgiveness application to be processed, and any applicable payments to begin in May 2021. If the Company’s application for forgiveness is approved, the Company will recognize a gain on extinguishment of debt at the time of forgiveness. As of March 31, 2021, the remaining principal balance on the Note is $2,417,000 and $22,000 of interest has been accrued. In accordance with guidance regarding PPP loans, and based on the original maturity date, we have classified the Note as a current liability.

Note 8 - Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of March 31, 2021, we had 1,941,250 designated shares of preferred stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, we had 1,829,582 shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Series A-2 Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2020, there were 45 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock had a stated value of $7,500 per share (the “A-2 Stated Value”), a liquidation preference equal to the Series A-2 Stated Value, and was convertible at the holder’s election into common stock at a conversion price per share of $16.11. Therefore, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock was convertible into 466 shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 20,954 shares of common stock.

The Series A-2 Preferred Stock was senior to all outstanding classes of the Company’s equity and was entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5.0% per annum. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded $4,000 in accrued dividends on the accompanying condensed consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, an additional $1,000 dividend expense was recorded.

On January 28, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the holder of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock to convert the Stated Value of all outstanding shares of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, 45 shares, into 84,292 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a negotiated conversion price of $4.00 per share, after taking into consideration accrued and unpaid dividends. As of March 31, 2021, there are no shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock outstanding. The incremental cost of inducing the conversion was approximately $300,000 and was treated similarly to a preferred dividend, increasing the net loss attributable to common stockholders.

Series D and E Preferred Stock

In connection with the Oblong Industries acquisition, on October 1, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company issued an aggregate of 1,686,659 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and an aggregate of 49,967 restricted shares of Series D Preferred Stock (“Restricted Series D Preferred Stock”), the latter of which were subject to vesting over a two-year period following the Closing Date of the acquisition.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series D Certificate of Designations, each share of Series D Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to 6.0% of its then-existing Accrued Value per annum, commencing on the first anniversary of the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock (or October 1, 2020). Prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock no dividends accrued on such stock. Dividends were cumulative and accrued daily in arrears. The Company’s Board of Directors did not declare any applicable dividend payment in cash, therefore, the Accrued Value of the Series D Preferred Stock was increased by the amount of such dividend payment.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 28,618 shares of Restricted Series D Preferred Stock were forfeited and 8,325 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were surrendered to cover the taxes on vesting shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 81 shares of Restricted Series D Preferred Stock were forfeited and 855 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were surrendered to cover the taxes on vesting shares.

On October 1, 2019, Oblong entered into a Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement relating to the offer and sale by the Company of up to 131,579 shares of its Series E Preferred Stock at a price of $28.50 per share. The Company sold a total of 131,579 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for net proceeds of approximately $3,750,000. The 131,579 shares of Series E Preferred Stock had an aggregate Accrued Value of $3,750,000 and upon their conversion would convert at a conversion price of $2.85 per share into 1,315,790 common shares.

-13-

Pursuant to the terms of the Series E Certificate of Designations, each share of Series E Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to 6.0% of its then-existing Accrued Value per annum, commencing on the first anniversary of the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock (or October 1, 2019 or December 18, 2019, as applicable). Prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock no dividends accrued on such stock. Dividends were cumulative and accrue daily in arrears. The Company’s Board of Directors did not declare any applicable dividend payment in cash; therefore, the Accrued Value of the Series E Preferred Stock was increased by the amount of such dividend payment.

The terms of the Company’s Series D and Series E Preferred Stock provided that such shares were automatically convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the accrued value of the preferred shares (initially $28.50), plus any accrued dividends thereon, divided by the conversion price (initially $2.85 per share, subject to specified adjustments) upon the completion of both (i) approval of such conversion by the Company’s stockholders entitled to vote thereon (which occurred on December 19, 2019); and (ii) the receipt of all required authorizations and approval of a new listing application for the Company following the Company’s October 2019 acquisition of Oblong Industries, Inc. from the NYSE American or any such other exchange upon which the Company’s securities are then listed for trading. The Company determined that this conversion condition was completed in its entirety, and the Series D and E Preferred Stock automatically converted to shares of Common Stock pursuant to their terms, effective upon the commencement of trading of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq as described above, on February 12, 2021.

As of the date of conversion, the Company had 1,697,022 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 131,579 shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively. The outstanding shares of Series D and Series E Preferred stock were converted into 17,416,939 and 1,345,180 shares of Common Stock, respectively, after taking into consideration all accrued and unpaid dividends.

Following the conversion of the Series A-2, Series D, and Series E Preferred Stock, the Company no longer has shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Note 9 - Stock Based Compensation

2019 Equity Incentive Plan

On December 19, 2019, the Oblong, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2019 Plan is an omnibus equity incentive plan pursuant to which the Company may grant equity and cash incentive awards to certain key service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2019 Plan replaced the Glowpoint, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plans”). Following approval of the 2019 Plan, the Company terminated the Prior Plans and may no longer make grants under the Prior Plans; however, any outstanding equity awards granted under the Prior Plans will continue to be governed by the terms of the Prior Plans.

The intrinsic value of vested options, unvested options and exercised options were not significant for all periods presented. There was no stock compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and no remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for options as of March 31, 2021 as all options were vested.

Restricted Stock Awards

As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 627 unvested restricted stock awards outstanding, with a weighted average grant date price of $15.80. The awards were issued in 2014 and vest over the lesser of ten years, a change in control, or separation from the company. Due to the variability of the vesting, the expense was amortized over an average service period of five years; therefore, there is no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Restricted Stock Units

As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were zero and 23,334 unvested restricted stock units outstanding, respectively. The 23,334 units outstanding at March 31, 2020 had a weighted average grant price of 2.20. As of March 31, 2021, 28,904 vested RSU’s remain outstanding as shares of common stock have not yet been delivered for these units in accordance with the terms of the RSU’s.

Stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was zero and $6,000, respectively, and was included in general and administrative expense. There was no remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units at March 31, 2021.

Restricted Series D Preferred Stock

In connection with the acquisition of Oblong Industries in 2019, all options to purchase shares of Oblong Industries’ common stock held by existing employees of Oblong Industries were canceled and exchanged for an aggregate of 49,967 shares of Restricted Series D Preferred Stock, which were subject to vesting over a two-year period following the Closing Date. This vesting period and compensation expense were accelerated, in February 2021, when the Restricted Series D shares were converted to shares of Common Stock. Refer to Note 8 - Preferred Stock for discussion on the conversion of the Series D Restricted Preferred Stock.

Stock-based compensation expense relating to Restricted Series D Preferred Stock is allocated as follows (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 81 and 14,441 shares of Restricted Series D Preferred Stock were forfeited, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, zero shares of Restricted Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding and there was no remaining unrecognized stock compensation expense.

Note 10 - Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or unvested restricted stock. Unvested restricted stock, although classified as issued and outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, is considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic net loss per share calculation until the shares are vested. Unvested restricted stock does not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents. Unvested RSUs are not included in calculations of basic net loss per share, as they are not considered issued and outstanding at time of grant.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options, preferred stock, RSUs, and unvested restricted stock, to the extent they are dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, all such common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per share as the effect to net loss per share would be anti-dilutive (due to the net loss).

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(3,433)	$	(3,129)
Less: preferred stock dividends	(1)		(4)
Less: undeclared dividends	(366)		—

Denominator:
Weighted-average number of shares of common stock for diluted net loss per share	17,756		5,204
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.23)	$	(0.60)

The following table represents the potential shares that were excluded from the computation of weighted-average number of shares of common stock in computing the diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect (due to the net loss):

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

We currently lease three facilities in Los Angeles, California, one facility in Boston, Massachusetts, one facility in Dallas, Texas, and one facility in Munich Germany, all providing office space. We also lease space in City of Industry, California, providing warehouse space. These leases expire between 2022 and 2023. During 2020, we exited leases in Herndon, Virginia; Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; London, England, and a warehouse space in Los Angeles, California. In February 2021, we exited an office space lease in Los Altos, California, when the Company elected to not renew the lease. Although subject to COVID restrictions, we currently occupy two of the facilities in Los Angeles and the warehouse space in City of Industry; we have subleases in place for the third Los Angeles property, the Dallas property, and the Boston property. The Munich property is not in use and the Company is considering its options with this lease. Lease expenses, net of common charges and sublet proceeds, for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $267,000 and $316,000, respectively.

The Company primarily leases facilities for office and data center space under non-cancellable operating leases for its U.S. and international locations that expire at various dates through 2023. For leases with a term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are not included in the lease payments to measure the lease liability and are expensed as incurred. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of one to three years and some of the leases include a Company option to extend the lease term for less than twelve months to five years, or more, which if reasonably certain to exercise, the Company includes in the determination of lease payments. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, which was determined using a portfolio approach, based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet and the expense for these short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Common area maintenance fees (or CAMs) and other charges related to these leases continue to be expensed as incurred.

The following provides balance sheet information related to leases as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) had become pandemic, and on March 13, the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the disease. There is a possibility of continued widespread infection in the United States and abroad, with the potential for catastrophic impact. National, state and local authorities have required or recommended social distancing and imposed or are considering quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. These measures, while intended to protect human life, are expected to have serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. Some economists are predicting the United States may soon enter a recession. The sweeping nature of the coronavirus pandemic makes it extremely difficult to predict how the Company’s business and operations will be affected in the longer run. The COVID-19 pandemic has materially affected our revenue and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as we experienced delayed orders in our distribution channels as a direct result of customer implementation schedules shifting due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our future results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the coronavirus outbreak has begun to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that this coronavirus or any other epidemic harms the global economy generally and/or the markets in which we operate specifically. Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of the coronavirus pandemic that are not currently foreseeable, could materially increase our costs, negatively impact our revenues and damage the Company’s results of operations and its liquidity position, possibly to a significant degree. The duration of any such impacts cannot be predicted. Uncertainties resulting from COVID-19 may result in additional customers delaying budget expenditures or re-allocating resources, which would result in a decrease in orders from these customers. Any such decrease in orders from these customers could cause a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial results and our ability to generate positive cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Oblong, Inc. (“Oblong” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in May 2000 and prior to March 6, 2020, was named Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint”). On October 1, 2019, the Company closed an acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Oblong Industries, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation founded in 2006. Pursuant to the merger Agreement Oblong Industries became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On March 6, 2020, Glowpoint changed its name to Oblong, Inc. In this Report, we use the terms “Oblong” or “we” or “us” or the “Company” to refer to (i) Oblong (formerly Glowpoint), for periods prior to the closing of the merger and (ii) the “Company” of Oblong, Inc. (formerly Glowpoint) and Oblong Industries for periods after the closing of the merger. For purposes of segment reporting, we refer to the Oblong (formerly Glowpoint) business as “Glowpoint” herein, and to the Oblong Industries business as “Oblong Industries” herein.

We believe there is a substantial market opportunity for Oblong Industries’ product offerings and services, and we are in the process of transforming our offerings to meet the evolving needs of our customers. As part of the transformation of our business, we are evolving certain aspects of our model by designing and developing software to include subscription-based offerings. Historically, our technology products and services have been developed and consumed in conventional commercial real estate spaces such as conference rooms. As our core collaboration products evolve, we expect to add more contemporary software features along with expanded accessibility beyond commercial spaces through both hybrid and SaaS offerings delivered in the cloud. These initiatives will require significant investment in technology and product development and sales and marketing. We believe additional capital will be required to fund these investments and our operations.

Glowpoint’s business has experienced revenue declines in recent years which we expect to continue. We currently expect to continue operating the Glowpoint business as part of our Company, however, we plan to seek opportunities in the future to divest some or all of Glowpoint’s business.

Oblong’s Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (the “2021 First Quarter”) compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 (the “2020 First Quarter”)

Segment Reporting

The Company currently operates in two segments: 1) the Oblong (formerly Glowpoint) business, which mainly consists of managed services for video collaboration and network applications and 2) the Oblong Industries business, which consists of products and services for visual collaboration technologies. Certain information concerning the Company’s segments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is presented in the following table (in thousands):

Revenue. Total revenue decreased $3,410,000 (or 64%) to $1,918,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $5,328,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. The following table summarizes the changes in components of our revenue (in thousands), and the significant changes in revenue are discussed in more detail below.

Total revenue	$	1,918	100	%	$	5,328	100	%

Oblong (formerly Glowpoint)

•Revenue for managed services for video collaboration services decreased $755,000 (or 72%) to $291,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $1,046,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease is mainly attributable to lower revenue from existing customers (either from reductions in price or level of services) and loss of customers to competition.

-22-

•Revenue for network services decreased $44,000 (or 5%) to $881,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $925,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease is mainly attributable to net attrition of customers and lower demand for our services given the competitive environment and pressure on pricing that exists in the network services business.

•Revenue for professional and other services decreased $51,000 (or 69%) to $23,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $74,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease is mainly attributable to lower resale of video equipment.

Oblong Industries

•Revenue for visual collaboration product offerings decreased $1,629,000 or (70%) to $693,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $2,322,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to delayed orders in our distribution channels as a direct result of customer implementation schedules shifting due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

•Revenue for professional services decreased 100.0% in the 2021 First Quarter from $669,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. Oblong Industries’ professional service revenue was generated from a specialized group of personnel that delivered innovative architectural scale spatial computing solutions for customers implementing Executive Briefing Centers, Command Centers, Television studios and Virtual Wargaming environments. A former customer terminated our professional services effective April 30, 2020 due to COVID-19. Our professional services revenue for the 2020 First Quarter was primarily attributable to this customer. We do not expect to generate revenue from professional services in 2021 and in the future.

•Revenue for licensing decreased $262,000 (or 89.7%) to $30,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $292,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. A former customer terminated the licensing of our technology effective December 31, 2020. Our licensing revenue for the 2020 First Quarter was primarily attributable to this customer.

Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, includes all internal and external costs related to the delivery of revenue. Cost of revenue also includes taxes which have been billed to customers. Cost of revenue by segment is presented in the following table (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Cost of Revenue
Oblong (formerly Glowpoint)	$	833	$	1,156
Oblong Industries	457		1,218
Total cost of revenue	$	1,290	$	2,374

Cost of revenue decreased to $1,290,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $2,374,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease in cost of revenue is mainly attributable to lower costs associated with the decrease in revenue between the 2021 First Quarter and the 2020 First Quarter. The Company’s gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 33% in the 2021 First Quarter as compared to 55% in the 2020 First Quarter.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses include internal and external costs related to developing new service offerings and features and enhancements to our existing services. Research and development expenses decreased to $692,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $1,327,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in headcount from 2020 First Quarter to First Quarter 2021.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $527,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $1,220,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in headcount from 2021 First Quarter to First Quarter 2020 and a reduction in lease expense as we closed several office locations in 2020.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include direct corporate expenses and costs of personnel in the various corporate support categories, including executive, finance and accounting, legal, human resources and information technology. General and administrative expenses increased to $2,067,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $2,028,000 in the 2020 First Quarter.

-23-

Impairment Charges. Impairment charges in the 2021 First Quarter were $31,000 as compared to $541,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. The impairment charges in 2021 are attributable to impairment charges on property and equipment no longer in service, and the impairment in 2020 was attributable to impairment charges on the Oblong (formerly Glowpoint) goodwill.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $722,000 in the 2021 First Quarter from $815,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This decrease is mainly attributable to the disposition and impairment of certain assets in 2020 as well as a decrease in depreciation as certain assets became full depreciated in 2020.

Loss from Operations. The Company recorded a loss from operations of $3,411,000 in the 2021 First Quarter as compared to a loss from operations of $2,977,000 in the 2020 First Quarter. This increase in our loss from operations from the 2020 First Quarter to the 2021 First Quarter is mainly attributable to lower revenue and gross profit, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

Management does not believe inflation had a significant effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates made in accordance with such policies are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto, each included in our 2020 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had $3,964,000 of cash, obligations of $2,417,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program loan, and working capital of $1,689,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $3,433,000 and used $1,235,000 of net cash in operating activities.
