OBLONG, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2023
(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.

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, 2022. 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, 2022 year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q do 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, 2022 and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”).

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.

On January 3, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All Common Stock share information (including treasury share information) in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and has been adjusted for this stock split retrospectively for all periods represented herein.

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, and (ii) Oblong Industries, Inc. 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) “Collaboration Products” which represents the business surrounding our Mezzanine™ product offerings, and (2) “Managed Services” which represents the business surrounding managed services for video collaboration and network solutions. See Note 10 - 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made.

-6-


We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated 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 determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated lives and recoverability of intangible assets, the inputs used in the valuation of intangible assets in connection with our impairment test, and the inputs used in the fair value of equity-based awards.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” as amended, which introduced 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., loans and held-to-maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The expected credit losses 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. The Company adopted the new guidance, as of January 1, 2023, and it did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Casualty Loss

In June 2022, the Company discovered that $533,000 of inventory was stolen from the Company’s warehouse in City of Industry, California, and we recorded a casualty loss in operating expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a recovery payment from one of our insurance policies of $400,000 as an offset to this casualty loss and in other current assets as of June 30, 2023. We received this recovery payment on July 21, 2023.

Note 2 - Liquidity

As of September 30, 2023, we had $6,766,000 in cash and working capital of $6,297,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $3,163,000 and used $2,288,000 of net cash in operating activities.

We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Report with the SEC.

Note 3 - Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible Assets

The following table presents the components of net intangible assets for our Collaboration Products reporting segment (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2023As of December 31, 2022
Gross Carrying AmountAccumulated AmortizationNet Carrying AmountGross Carrying AmountAccumulated AmortizationNet Carrying Amount
Developed technology$486 $(243)$243 $486 $(61)$425 
Trade names204 (102)102 204 (25)179 
      Total$690 $(345)$345 $690 $(86)$604 

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 September 30, 2023, we considered the decline in our stock price to be a triggering event for an impairment test of intangible assets, and during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we considered the declines in revenue for the Collaboration Products reporting segment to be a triggering event for an impairment test of intangible assets for this segment. As the undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying values of the assets, the company calculated the fair value of the assets. Based on the fair value of the asset group, which was determined using a market approach, no impairment charges were recorded for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023.

-7-



During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we considered the declines in revenue for the Collaboration Products reporting segment and the decline in the Company’s market capitalization to be triggering events for an impairment test of intangible assets for this reporting unit. Based on the corresponding recoverability tests of the asset group for this reporting unit, it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the gross cash flows of the asset group. The recoverability test consisted of comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets to the respective carrying amounts, and involves significant judgements and assumptions, related primarily to the future revenue and profitability of the assets. Based on the fair value of the asset group, which was determined using a market approach, we recorded impairment charges of $5,132,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Related amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $86,000 and $580,000, respectively. Related amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $259,000 and $1,740,000, respectively.

Future amortization expense will be as follows (in thousands):

Remainder of 2023$87 
2024258 
Total $345 

Goodwill

During 2022, goodwill was written down to zero with impairment charges of $7,367,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The exercise price is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combination, recapitalization, or other similar transactions involving the Common Stock, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a full ratchet basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price for the Common Warrants (subject to certain exceptions). The Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable for cash, provided that if there is no effective registration statement available permitting the resale of the common shares, they may be exercised on a cashless basis.

As of September 30, 2023, we had 1,983,250 designated shares of preferred stock and 5,146 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Series F Preferred Stock

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a Private Placement (i) 6,550 shares of our newly designated Series F Preferred Stock, (ii) Preferred Warrants to acquire 32,750 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and (iii) Common Warrants to acquire up to 3,830,417 shares of Common Stock. Please refer to Note 6 - Capital Stock for further discussion on the Common Warrants. The terms of the Series F Preferred Stock are as set forward in the Certificate of Designations of Series F Preferred Stock of Oblong, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”), which was filed and became effective with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2023. The Private Placement closed on March 31, 2023, in exchange for gross and net proceeds of $6,386,000 and $5,435,000, respectively.

All of the Preferred Shares and Investor Warrants were issued at the Closing, but part of the purchase price equivalent to $4,000,000 was placed into an escrow account with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow”), to be released upon our obtaining stockholder approval permitting the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock at less than the Minimum Price (as defined under the Nasdaq Rules) in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards and as otherwise may be required (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Company received the Stockholder Approval via a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on May 18, 2023, and the funds were released from escrow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $5,435,000 in net proceeds. The financing fees associated with the Purchase Agreement were $951,000.

The Series F Preferred Shares are convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.71 (the “Conversion Price”). The holders of the Series F Preferred Shares may also elect to convert their shares at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the applicable Conversion Price as in effect on the date of the conversion, (ii) 80% of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the conversion notice, and (iii) the greater of (a) the Floor Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and (b) the quotient of (x) the sum of the five lowest Closing Bid Prices (as defined in the

-12-


Certificate of Designations) for trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, divided by (y) five. The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combination recapitalization, or other similar transactions involving the Common Stock, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a full ratchet basis, in the event of any issuances of our common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions).

On October 6, 2023, the Company and Investors holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock agreed to waive any and all provisions, terms, covenants and obligations in the Certificate of Designations or Common Warrants to the extent such provisions permit the conversion or exercise of the Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants, respectively, to occur at a price below $0.2792. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, each of the “Alternate Conversion Price” and the “Floor Price” as set forth in the Certificate of Designations shall in no event be less than $0.2792 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events).

Under the Certificate of Designations, the Series F Preferred Shares have an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”). The holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 9% per annum, which will be payable in arrears quarterly. Accrued dividends may be paid, at our option, in cash and if not paid, shall increase the stated value of the Series F Preferred Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Series F Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 20% per annum (the “Default Rate”). The Series F Preferred Shares have no voting rights, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series F Preferred Shares. On matters with respect to which the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares have a right to vote, holders of the Preferred Shares will have voting rights on an as-converted basis.

Our ability to settle conversions is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Further, the Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Shares.

The Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), including, among other things, (i) the failure to file and maintain an effective registration statement covering the sale of the holder’s securities registrable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares when due, and (iii) if Peter Holst ceases to be the chief executive officer of the Company other than because of his death, and a qualified replacement, reasonably acceptable to a majority of the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares, is not appointed within thirty (30) business days. In connection with a Triggering Event, the Default Rate is triggered. We are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, acquisition transactions, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designations), maintenance of properties and the transfer of assets, among other matters.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 1,229 and 1,404 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, plus accrued dividends, were converted to 1,964,750 and 2,111,337 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Note 9 - Net Loss Per Share

On January 3, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split for its Common Stock. All Common Stock share information in the following net loss per share discussion and tables are shown as adjusted for this stock split retrospectively for all periods represented herein.

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 September 30, 2022, 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, warrants, RSUs, and unvested restricted stock, to the extent they are dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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):

Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings for which we have insurance coverage. As of the date hereof, we are not party to any legal proceedings that we currently believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced that infections of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) had become pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the disease. In May 2023, the WHO declared COVID-19 over as a global health emergency. Customers generally use our Mezzanine™ products in traditional office and operating center environments such as conference rooms or other presentation spaces. Revenue declines for our Collaboration Products business are primarily attributable to the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic on our existing and target customers as they continue to evaluate behavioral changes in how and when employees choose to work from traditional office environments, resulting in delayed buying decisions for our Collaboration Products. Continuation of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, could cause further disruptions to our operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers and logistics partners and could significantly adversely affect our near-term and long-term revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows.

Note 12 - Subsequent Events

As of the filing of this Report, the Company has 14,955,475 and 14,947,922 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and 2,278 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

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

Overview

We are a provider of patented multi-stream collaboration products and managed services for video collaboration and network solutions. The Company currently operates in two segments: (1) “Collaboration Products,” which represents the business surrounding our Mezzanine™ product offerings, and (2) “Managed Services,” which represents the business surrounding managed services for video collaboration and network solutions.

Mezzanine™ Product Offerings

Our flagship product is called Mezzanine™, a family of turn-key products that enable dynamic and immersive visual collaboration across multi-users, multi-screens, multi-devices, and multi-locations (see further description of Mezzanine™ in Part I, Item 1). Mezzanine™ allows multiple people to share, control and arrange content simultaneously, from any location, enabling all participants to see the same content in its entirety at the same time in identical formats, resulting in dramatic enhancements to both in-room and virtual videoconference presentations. Applications include video telepresence, laptop and application sharing, whiteboard sharing and slides. Spatial input allows content to be spread across screens, spanning different walls, scalable to an arbitrary number of displays and interaction with our proprietary wand device. Mezzanine™ substantially enhances day-to-day virtual meetings with technology that accelerates decision making, improves communication, and increases productivity. Mezzanine™ scales up to support the most immersive and commanding innovation centers; across to link labs, conference spaces, and situation rooms; and down for the smallest work groups. Mezzanine’s digital collaboration platform can be sold as delivered systems in various configurations for small teams to total immersion experiences. The family includes the 200 Series (two display screen), 300 Series (three screen), and 600 Series (six screen). We also sell maintenance and support contracts related to Mezzanine™.

Historically, customers have used Mezzanine™ products in traditional office and operating center environments such as conference rooms or other presentation spaces. As discussed below, sales of our Mezzanine product have been adversely affected by commercial response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many technology companies, we will continue to monitor and manage our costs relative to demand with the goal of growing the Company’s revenue in the future. To the extent we believe new investments in product development, marketing, or sales are warranted as a result of changes in market demand, we believe additional capital will be required to fund those efforts and our ongoing operations.

Managed Services for Video Collaboration

We provide a range of managed services for video collaboration, from automated to orchestrated, to simplify the user experience in an effort to drive adoption of video collaboration throughout our customers’ enterprise. We deliver our services through a hybrid service platform or as a service layer on top of our customers’ video infrastructure. We provide our customers with i) managed videoconferencing, where we set up and manage customer videoconferences and ii) remote service management, where we provide 24/7 support and management of customer video environments.

Managed Services for Network

We provide our customers with network solutions that ensure reliable, high-quality and secure traffic of video, data and internet. Network services are offered to our customers on a subscription basis. Our network services business carries variable costs associated with the purchasing and reselling of this connectivity.

Managed Services

The decrease in revenue for video collaboration services is mainly attributable to lower revenue from existing customers (either from reductions in price or level of services) and loss of customers to competition.

The decrease in revenue for network services 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.

We expect revenue declines in our Managed Services segment will continue in the future.

Collaboration Products
Customers generally use our Mezzanine™ products in traditional office and operating center environments such as conference rooms or other presentation spaces. The year over year decrease in revenue for our Collaboration Products business is primarily attributable to the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic on our existing and target customers as they continue to evaluate behavioral changes in how and when employees choose to work from traditional office environments, resulting in delayed buying decisions for our Collaboration Products. Continuation of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, could cause further disruptions to our operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers and logistics partners and could significantly adversely affect our near-term and long-term revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows.

Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and casualty loss, 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):

The decrease in our consolidated cost of revenue is mainly attributable to lower costs associated with the decrease in revenue during the same period. Our consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 26% in the 2023 Third Quarter compared to 29% in the 2022 Third Quarter. The gross profit as a percentage of revenue for our Collaboration Products

segment was 7% in the 2023 Third Quarter compared to 26% in the 2022 Third Quarter. This decrease was mainly attributable to an increase in our inventory obsolescence reserve of $58,000 in the 2023 Third Quarter compared to the 2022 Third Quarter.

Operating expenses are presented in the following table (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization86 592 (506)(85)%
Total operating expenses$1,149 $7,504 $(6,355)(85)%

Research and Development. Research and development expenses include internal and external costs related to developing new product offerings as well as features and enhancements to our existing product offerings. The decrease in research and development expenses for the 2023 Third Quarter compared to the 2022 Third Quarter is primarily attributable to the ceasing of the majority of R&D activities during late 2022, which resulted in lower personnel costs due to reduced headcount, consulting, and outsourced labor costs between these periods.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for 2023 Third Quarter compared to the 2022 Third Quarter is primarily attributable to i) lower personnel costs due to reduced headcount and less sales as discussed above, ii) reduced marketing costs between these periods, and iii) reduced overhead between these periods due to the termination of an office lease that was not renewed.

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. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the 2023 Third Quarter compared to the 2022 Third Quarter is primarily attributable to reduced overhead and professional service expenses as a result of cost cutting measures.

Impairment Charges. There were no impairment charges for the 2023 Third Quarter. The impairment charges in the 2022 Third Quarter were attributable to impairment of long-lived assets. Future declines of our revenue, cash flows and/or market capitalization may give rise to a triggering event that may require the Company to record impairment charges in the future related to our intangible assets and other long-lived assets.

Depreciation and Amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses for the 2023 Third Quarter compared to the 2022 Third Quarter is mainly attributable to the disposition and impairment of certain assets during the year ended 2022, as well as a decrease in depreciation as certain assets became fully depreciated.

Loss from Operations. The decrease in the Company’s loss from operations for the 2023 Third Quarter compared to the 2022 Third Quarter is mainly attributable to lower operating expenses as addressed above.

Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income, net for the 2023 Third Quarter primarily comprised of interest income related to our cash accounts, partially offset by interest expense.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to i) lower personnel costs due to reduced headcount and less sales as discussed above, including the reversal of approximately $294,000 in accrued compensation, ii) reduced marketing costs between these periods, and iii) reduced overhead between these periods due to the termination of an office lease that was not renewed.

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. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to a decrease in office related expenses and bad debt expense.

Impairment Charges. Impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were attributable to property and equipment related to our Managed Services segment. The impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were attributable to i) the impairment of goodwill and ii) the impairment of a right-of-use asset related to a leased office space no longer being utilized. Future declines of our revenue, cash flows and/or market capitalization may give rise to a triggering event that may require the Company to record impairment charges in the future related to our intangible assets and other long-lived assets.

Casualty Loss. In June 2022, the Company discovered that $533,000 of inventory was stolen from the Company’s warehouse in City of Industry, California, and we recorded a casualty loss in operating expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received and recorded a recovery payment from one of our insurance policies of $400,000 as an offset to this casualty loss.

Depreciation and Amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is mainly attributable to the disposition and impairment of certain assets during the year ended 2022, as well as a decrease in depreciation as certain assets became fully depreciated.

Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily comprised of interest income related to our cash accounts, partially offset by interest expense.

Loss from Operations. The decrease in the Company’s loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is mainly attributable to lower operating expenses as addressed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2023, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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 2022 Annual Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, we had $6,766,000 in cash and working capital of $6,297,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $3,163,000 and used $2,288,000 of net cash in operating activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $5,969,000, attributable to net proceeds from an equity financing and net cash proceeds received from the exercise of warrants. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement and the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of outstanding warrants for general corporate purposes and potential strategic alternatives. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Report with the SEC.

We believe additional capital will be required, in the long-term, 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.
