CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(UNAUDITED)

1.  Description of Business

 

ParkerVision, Inc. (“we”, the “Company”, or “ParkerVision”) is in the business of innovating fundamental wireless technologies.   We design, develop and market our proprietary radio frequency (“RF”) technologies and products for use in semiconductor circuits for wireless communication products.   We believe certain patents protecting our proprietary technologies have been broadly infringed by others and therefore our business plan includes enforcement of our intellectual property rights through patent infringement litigation and licensing efforts.  In addition, we offer engineering consulting and design services, for a negotiated fee, to assist customers in developing prototypes and/or products incorporating wireless technologies. 

 

2.  Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Our financial statements were prepared assuming we would continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our future business plans call for continued investment in patent prosecution and enforcement, product development and sales, marketing, and customer support for our technologies and products.  Our ability to generate revenues sufficient to offset costs is subject to successfully enforcing our intellectual property rights, securing new product and licensing customers for our technologies, and successfully supporting those customers in completing their product designs. 

 

In June 2015, we implemented a reduction in staff which will result in a 39% reduction in our recurring payroll costs (see Note 12).  Also in June, we entered into a fully contingent funding arrangement for our ongoing patent infringement litigation against Qualcomm, HTC and Samsung in district court.  Despite these cost reduction measures, we expect that revenues generated from patent enforcement actions, technology licenses and/or the sale of products in 2015 will not be sufficient to cover our operational expenses for 2015, and that our expected continued losses and use of cash will be funded from available working capital. 

 

Our capital resources at June 30, 2015 include cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities of approximately $4.0 million.  These capital resources will not be sufficient to support our liquidity requirements through 2015 without the generation of sufficient revenues or further cost containment measures, which, if implemented, may jeopardize our future growth plans.  These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We may secure additional funding through public or private debt or equity financing arrangements or contingent fee arrangements, although no such arrangements are in place at this time. 

 

The long-term continuation of our business plan beyond 2015 is dependent upon the generation of sufficient revenues from our technologies and/or products to offset expenses.  In the event that we do not generate sufficient revenues, we will be required to obtain additional funding through public or private debt or equity financing or contingent fee arrangements, and/or reduce operating costs.  Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings or contingent fee arrangements, and/or reduce operating costs could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet

our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business objectives.

 

3.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2015 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or future years.  All normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations have been included. 

 

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.   

 

4.   Accounting Policies

 

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” (“ASU 2014-15”)  to provide guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and earlier adoption is permitted.  We are currently assessing the impact of this update on future discussions of our liquidity position in our financial statements and have not early adopted ASU 2014-15.

 

There have been no other changes in accounting policies from those stated in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

5.   Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is determined based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share as all common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Options and warrants to purchase  13,224,282  and 7,649,496 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  In addition, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), representing 1,855,642 and  1,714,825 shares of common stock, were outstanding at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   These options, warrants and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

6. Inventories

 

Inventories consisted of the following:

 

 

7.   Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.  Share-Based Compensation

 

There has been no material change in the assumptions used to compute the fair value of our equity awards, nor in the method used to account for share-based compensation from those stated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. 

 

The following table presents share-based compensation expense included in our statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

 

---

 

 

As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $0.3 million in unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based compensation awards.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately  one year.     

 

For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, total share based compensation expense includes $16,995 representing the fair value of shares withheld for payment of payroll taxes on the distribution of employee share-based compensation awards.  General and administrative share-based compensation expense includes expense recognized upon vesting of RSUs awarded to consultants of approximately $76,000 and $158,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $192,000 and $633,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  As of June 30, 2015, we have an aggregate of 80,000 time-based RSUs and 750,000 performance-based RSUs awarded to consultants that remain unvested.  The time-based RSUs, awarded in August 2014, vest in equal monthly installments through August 2015.  The performance-based RSUs, awarded in November 2013, vest only upon achievement of certain market conditions, as measured based on the closing price of our common stock during a period ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2015 or (ii) thirty days following termination of the related consulting agreements.  Achievement of the specified market conditions is not considered probable as of June 30, 2015.  Upon thirty days’ notice, the consulting agreements may be terminated and any unvested portion of the time-based or performance-based RSUs will be cancelled.   

 

9.   Stock Authorization and Issuance

 

On January 15, 2015, we consummated the sale of three warrants, each for the purchase of up to 1,884,058 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $1.50,  $2.50 and $3.50, respectively, to 1624 PV, LLC (“1624”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.3 million.  The warrants are exercisable through January 15, 2018.  On January 26, 2015, we issued 250,000 shares of unregistered common stock to our securities counsel, Graubard Miller, in exchange for a $250,000 prepaid retainer for legal services.  The common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to 1624 and the shares of common stock issued to Graubard Miller were registered on Form S-3 (File No. 333-202802) which was declared effective on May 4, 2015.     

 

10. Fair Value Measurements

 

We have determined the estimated fair value amounts of our financial instruments using available market information.  Our assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

11.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business.   We believe, based on advice from our outside legal counsel, that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operation or liquidity.   In addition, we are subject to the following legal proceedings:

 

ParkerVision vs. Qualcomm, Inc.

In October 2013, a jury in the United States District Court of the Middle District of Florida awarded us $172.7 million in damages in a patent infringement action filed against Qualcomm Incorporated (“Qualcomm”) in July 2011.  The jury also found that Qualcomm did not prove its claims of invalidity for any of the eleven claims of the four patents in the case.  On June 20, 2014, a final district court ruling was issued in which the court denied Qualcomm’s motion to overturn the jury’s verdict regarding patent validity but granted Qualcomm’s motion to overturn the jury’s verdict of infringement.   We appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  Qualcomm filed a counter-appeal on the issues of validity and damages.   On July 31, 2015, the appellate court issued its opinion, upholding the district court’s determination of non-infringement.  In addition, the appellate court overturned the district court’s decision on validity, ruling that ten of the eleven patent claims in the case were invalid.  We are currently evaluating our next steps in this case. 

 

ParkerVision vs. Qualcomm, HTC, and Samsung

In August 2014, we served a complaint in the United States District Court of the Middle District of Florida against Qualcomm, Qualcomm Atheros, Inc., HTC Corporation, HTC America, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively “Defendants”) seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief for infringement of eleven of our patents related to RF up-conversion, down-conversion, systems for control of multi-mode, multi-band communications, baseband innovations including control and system calibration, and wireless protocol conversion.  In November 2014, certain of the Defendants filed counterclaims of non-infringement and invalidity for all patents in the case.  Discovery in this case is ongoing with a claim construction hearing scheduled for August 12, 2015 and a trial start date scheduled for August 1, 2016. 

 

RPX and Farmwald vs. ParkerVision

In June 2014, RPX Corporation and Michael Farmwald (collectively, the “Petitioners”) filed petitions for Inter Partes review (“IPR”) with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTAB”) seeking to invalidate certain claims related to three of the four patents in our July 2011 district court case against Qualcomm.  In December 2014, the PTAB issued a decision to institute trial on certain claims included in the three petitions, but denied institution of one of the

---

 

challenged claims.  We filed our responses to the petitions in March 2015 and the Petitioners’ replies were filed on June 26, 2015.  Oral arguments are scheduled for August 27, 2015 and a decision from the PTAB is expected in December 2015.

 

In July 2014, the Petitioners filed an additional IPR petition seeking to invalidate certain claims of the fourth patent in the July 2011 district court case against Qualcomm (the “’342 Patent”).  In January 2015, the PTAB denied institution of trial for the ‘342 Patent.  

 

These IPRs could be affected by final disposition in the July 2011 patent infringement case against Qualcomm.

 

12.  Termination Benefits

 

On June 8, 2015, we implemented a reduction in staff in order to reduce our ongoing operating expenses, resulting in a one-time charge to operating expenses of approximately $313,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.   Accrued severance benefits consist of the following:

 

 

 

Approximately $46,000 of the accrued severance benefits were settled by the issuance of share-based compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2015.  Accrued severance benefits are included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our shareholders and to the public.  This report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, in particular, statements about our future plans, objectives, and expectations contained in this Item.  When used in this report and in future filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the words or phrases “expects”, “will likely result”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “estimated” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements.”  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or projected, including the risks and uncertainties identified in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Annual Report”) and in this Item 2 of Part I of this quarterly report.  Examples of such risks and uncertainties include general economic and business conditions, competition, unexpected changes in technologies and technological advances, the timely development and commercial acceptance of new products and technologies, reliance on key business and sales relationships, reliance on our intellectual property, the outcome of our intellectual property litigation and the ability to obtain adequate financing in the future.  We have no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Overview

 

We are in the business of innovating fundamental wireless technologies.   We design, develop and market our proprietary radio frequency (“RF”) technologies and products for use in semiconductor circuits for wireless communication products.   We have expended significant financial and other resources to research and develop our RF technologies and to obtain patent protection for those technologies in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions.  We believe certain patents protecting our proprietary technologies have been broadly infringed by others and therefore our business plan includes enforcement of our intellectual property rights through patent infringement litigation and licensing efforts.

 

We have a three-part growth strategy that includes intellectual property licensing and/or product ventures, intellectual property enforcement, and product and component sales and design services.  Since 2005, we have generated no product or royalty revenue from our wireless technologies.  We have made significant investments in developing and protecting our technologies and products, the returns on which are dependent upon the generation of future revenues from licensing and/or product sales for realization. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, we had working capital of approximately $1.9 million which represented a decrease of approximately $8.2 million from working capital at December 31, 2014.  This decrease in working capital is a result of the use of approximately $7.9 million to fund operations and approximately $0.5 million used for patents and fixed assets during the first half of 2015, partially offset by proceeds of $1.3 million from the sale of warrants.  

 

Cash used for operations in the first six months of 2015 decreased approximately $0.6 million from cash used for operations in the same period in 2014.  This decrease is primarily the result of the timing on payments of litigation related expenses incurred.

 

Our future business plans call for continued investment in patent prosecution and enforcement, product development and sales, marketing, and customer support for our technologies and products.  Our ability to generate revenues sufficient to offset costs is subject to successfully enforcing our intellectual property rights, securing new product and licensing customers for our technologies, and successfully supporting those customers in completing their product designs. 

 

In June 2015, we implemented a reduction in staff which will result in a 39% reduction in our recurring future payroll costs.   Also in June, we entered into a fully contingent funding arrangement for our ongoing patent infringement litigation against Qualcomm, HTC and Samsung which is expected to reduce our future litigation fees and expenses. 

 

Despite these cost reduction measures, we expect that revenue generated from patent enforcement actions,

---

 

technology licenses and/or the sale of products in 2015 will not be sufficient to cover our operational expenses for 2015, and that our expected continued losses and use of cash will be funded from available working capital.  Our current capital resources will not be sufficient to support our liquidity requirements through 2015 without the generation of sufficient revenues and/or further cost containment measures.  The implementation of further cost containment measures may jeopardize our future growth plans. 

We are currently exploring various funding opportunities including additional contingent financing arrangements.  We believe we will be able to raise additional capital through contingent financing or debt or equity financings, although we do not have any such arrangements currently in place.

 

The long-term continuation of our business plan beyond 2015 is dependent upon the generation of sufficient revenues from our technologies and/or products to offset expenses.  In the event that we do not generate sufficient revenues, we will be required to obtain additional funding through public or private debt or equity financing, enter into additional contingent fee arrangements, and/or reduce operating costs.  Failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital through debt or equity financings or contingent financing arrangements could cause us to reduce our operating costs which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business objectives.

 

Results of Operations for Each of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenue and Gross Margin

We reported no product or royalty revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.  At June 30, 2015, we have deferred revenue of approximately $20,000 representing initial component product inventory shipped to a distributor.

 

Revenues from product sales will be recognized at the time of shipment, or when title and risk of loss pass to the customer and other criteria for revenue recognition are met, if later. Revenues from providing services will be recognized when performance obligations are satisfied. Revenues from litigation awards, including settlements, if any, will be recognized upon final disposition of the litigation, including the outcome of any settlement discussions and/or appeals.  Revenues from litigation awards and settlements, as well as certain other patent licensing activities may be reduced by contingent fees owed to others.

 

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of engineering and related management and support personnel costs; fees for outside engineering design services which we use from time to time to supplement our internal resources; amortization and depreciation expense related to our patents and other assets used in product development; prototype production and materials costs, which represent the fabrication and packaging costs for prototype integrated circuits, as well as the cost of supporting components for prototype board development; software licensing and support costs, which represent the annual licensing and support maintenance for engineering design and other software tools; and rent and other overhead costs for our engineering design facility.  Personnel costs include share-based compensation amounts which have been determined based on the grant date fair value of equity-based awards to our employees and then recorded to expense over the vesting period of the award. 

 

Our research and development expenses decreased approximately $546,000, or 24%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014.  This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in personnel and related expenses, including share-based compensation expense, of approximately $372,000 and a decrease in prototype production related expenses of approximately $169,000. 

 

Our research and development expenses decreased approximately $1,053,000, or 23%, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014.  This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in personnel and related expenses, including share-based compensation expense, of

---

 

approximately $771,000 and a decrease in prototype production related expenses of approximately $292,000. 

 

The decrease in personnel and related expenses is primarily the result of a decrease in employee share-based compensation expense of approximately $342,000 and $611,000 for the three and six month periods, respectively.  This reduction is a result of a decrease in expense attribution for long-term equity incentive awards granted to engineering executives in prior years and an increase in forfeitures of unvested awards as a result of our June 2015 workforce reduction.   Our personnel and related expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included approximately $184,000 in one-time termination charges related to our June 2015 workforce reduction which was offset by an overall decreases in wages and related personnel costs. 

   

Prototype production expenses vary from period to period based on the timing of various development projects.  We expect a significant percentage of our current working capital will continue to be invested in our research and product development activities.  

 

Marketing and Selling Expenses

Marketing and selling expenses consist primarily of marketing and sales personnel costs, including share-based compensation and travel costs, and outside professional fees.  Our marketing and selling expenses decreased approximately $398,000, or 50% during the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014.  This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in outside professional fees of approximately $349,000 and a decrease in share-based compensation of approximately $61,000.

 

Our marketing and selling expenses decreased approximately $569,000, or 39% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in fees to outside professionals of approximately $483,000 and a decrease in share-based compensation expense of approximately $114,000.

 

The decrease in fees to outside professionals for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 is a result of a change in fee structure for certain consultants from a fixed monthly retainer to commission-based fees.  The decrease in share-based compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 is the result of a decrease in expense attribution for long-term equity incentive awards granted to sales and marketing employees in prior years and an increase in forfeitures of unvested awards as a result of  our June 2015 workforce reduction.  

 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive, director, finance and administrative personnel costs, including share-based compensation, and costs incurred for insurance, shareholder relations and outside professional services, including litigation and other legal services. 

 

Our general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $97,000, or 3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of a decrease in share-based compensation expense of approximately $676,000, partially offset by an increase in litigation related fees and expenses of approximately $423,000 and an increase in personnel costs, including one-time termination charges, of approximately $111,000.  Our general and administrative expenses increased approximately $574,000, or 10%, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of an increase in litigation related fees and expenses of approximately $2,016,000 partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of approximately $1,658,000. 

 

The increase in litigation related fees and expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 is a result of increased patent related legal activities including those related to our appellate case against Qualcomm, our patent infringement action against Qualcomm, HTC and Samsung in the middle

---

 

district of Florida, and our defense of the IPR actions filed against us.  In June 2015, we entered into a fully contingent fee arrangement with McKool Smith for our ongoing litigation against Qualcomm, HTC, and Samsung. This arrangement will reduce our future litigation fees and expenses in this case which is expected to go to trial in August 2016.

 

The decrease in share-based compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 is the result of a decrease in the price of our common stock which is used to determine fair value for non-employee RSUs vesting during the periods, as well as reduced expense attribution related to executive long-term equity incentive awards from prior years.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions, Arrangements and Other Relationships

As of June 30, 2015, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 7,051,378 shares of common stock that were issued in connection with the sale of equity securities.  The estimated grant date fair value of these warrants of $1,655,778 is included in shareholders’ equity in our balance sheets. 

 

The warrants outstanding include warrants to purchase 1,399,204 shares of our common stock that were sold in connection with our November 2010 sale of equity securities.  These warrants have an exercise price of $0.54 and expire on November 3, 2015.  The remaining warrants are comprised of three warrants, each for the purchase of up to 1,884,058 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $1.50, $2.50 and $3.50, respectively that were issued to 1624 PV, LLC on January 15, 2015.  These warrants are exercisable through January 15, 2018. 

 

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations as set forth in our Annual Report.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” (“ASU 2014-15”)  to provide guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and earlier adoption is permitted.  We are currently assessing the impact of this update on future discussions of our liquidity position in our financial statements and have not early adopted ASU 2014-15.

 

There have been no other changes in critical accounting policies from those stated in our Annual Report. 

 

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.    

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no material changes from the market risk information disclosed under Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report.
