Additional information about the Company can be obtained on the Company’s website; however, the information within, or that can be accessed through, the Company’s website is not part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the period ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021.  

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the 2021 Form 10-K.  There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2021 Form 10-K. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2021 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2022 may not be indicative of the results for the period ending December 31, 2022.

Foreign Operations

Cross-border transactions, both with external parties and in our internal operations, result in exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We are exposed to currency risk by having foreign locations with suppliers and employees located outside the U.S. Fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. We manage certain operating activities at the

6


 

local level with revenues, costs, assets, and liabilities generally being denominated in local currencies. However, our results of operations and assets and liabilities are reported in U.S. dollars and thus will fluctuate with changes in exchange rates between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses resulting from transactions originally in foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 11% of revenues and 14% of expenses were transacted in foreign currencies as compared to 6% and 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $75 and $(53) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net was $73 and $(45) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.          

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-14). This new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The changes are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Topic 848 is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on the financial statements or the related disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This update requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. This ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the update. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, but should be applied to all acquisitions occurring in the annual period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 831): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update, which aims to increase transparency of government assistance, requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model. Under this ASU, an entity is required to disclose (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. This Update is effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated the effect of adoption of the update and concluded it does not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In June 2022, the FASB issues ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This update clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. This update also requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security including (1) the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and (3) any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. This ASU is effective for all public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

7


 

Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.

Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash equivalents are measured at fair value and investments are recognized at amortized cost in the Company’s financial statements. Accounts receivable is a financial asset with a carrying value that approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets. Accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and certain operating liabilities are financial liabilities with a carrying value that approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

4. Business Combinations

 

On April 30, 2021, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Smarteq Wireless Aktiebolag (“Smarteq”), a Swedish company based in Kista, Sweden that designs antennas for specialized Industrial IoT and vehicular applications, pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) between PCTEL and Allgon Aktiebolag, a Swedish company and holder of the outstanding stock of Smarteq. Smarteq owns all the outstanding stock of SAS Smarteq France (“Smarteq France”), which engages in sales of Smarteq products.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company acquired Smarteq for a cash purchase price consisting of SEK 53.0 million plus working capital adjustments of SEK 1.6 million and an adjustment for the net cash at closing of SEK 2.1 million for total cash consideration of SEK 56.8 million ($6.8 million), all of which was provided from PCTEL’s existing cash. The Company believes the acquisition of Smarteq provides a strong local presence, expertise, and channel partners to accelerate revenue growth in Europe, as well as a complementary portfolio of products. The results for Smarteq are combined with the Company’s antenna and Industrial IoT device product line. The Company applied the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, in accounting for its acquisitions. It requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed, at the acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the acquisition date fair values of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company used its best estimates and assumptions where applicable to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The operating results of the acquired business are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition.

Assumptions in the Allocations of Purchase Price

 

The Company prepared the purchase price allocation for the acquired Smarteq assets and in doing so utilized reports of a third-party valuation expert to calculate the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets. Estimates of fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the acquired workforce, expected synergies, and other benefits that the Company believes will result from integrating the Smarteq operations with the operations of the Company.  The Company completed the final purchase price allocation.

 

The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”). MPEEM estimates the value of an intangible asset by quantifying the amount of residual (or excess) cash flows generated by the future customer cash flows and discounting those cash flows to the present value. Future cash flows for customers were estimated based on forecasted revenue and costs, taking into account the growth rates, customer attrition, and contributory charges. The fair value of the customer backlog was calculated using the present value of the cash flows associated with the acquired backlog.

 

The fair values of the trade names, developed technology, and exclusive rights were determined using the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is a specific application of the discounted-cash-flow method, which is a form of the income approach. It is based on the principle that ownership of the intangible asset relieves the owner of the need to pay a royalty to another party in exchange for rights to use the asset. Key assumptions to estimate the hypothetical royalty rate include observable royalty rates, which are royalty rates in negotiated licenses and market-based royalty rates which are royalty rates found in available market data for licenses involving similar assets.

 

The fair value of covenants not to compete was estimated using the with-or-without method. The with-and-without method estimates the value of an intangible asset by quantifying the loss of economic profits under a hypothetical condition where only the subject intangible does not exist and needs to be re-created. Projected revenues, operating expenses and cash flows are calculated in each "with" and "without" scenario and the difference in the cash flow is discounted to present value.

 

Inventory was valued at net realizable value. Raw materials were valued at book value and finished goods were valued assuming hypothetical revenues from finished goods adjusted for disposal costs, profit attributable to the seller and holding costs. An inventory step-up of $0.5 million is included in the purchase price allocation above. The inventory step-up was calculated based on the net realizable value, on a part-by-part basis, of the inventory on the opening balance sheet. The amortization of the inventory step-up was recorded based on the consumption of those parts and was fully recognized during the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2021.  

 

The Company assumed gross accounts receivable of $1.4 million. Based on Smarteq’s bad debt experience and a review of the receivables, the Company does not anticipate an issue with collectability.  

 

The Company assumed liabilities in the acquisition which primarily consist of accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and certain operating liabilities. The fair value of the liabilities assumed are valued at their cash settlement value.

 

As part of the acquisition of Smarteq on April 30, 2021, the Company assumed an office lease. The office in Kista, Sweden has 4,080 square feet used for engineering, sales, and administration and the lease term is through July 31, 2023. On the acquisition date, the Company recorded $0.2 million for each of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities.

 

The Company assumed Smarteq France’s five-year loan of approximately $0.1 million with an interest rate of 0.57%. The loan was part of a program from the French Ministry of Economy and Finance to support French businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan is denominated in Euros. Payment of the interest and principal on the loan is due in monthly installments from June 2022 until the loan term ends in May 2026. As of June 30, 2022, no payments have been made for this loan; however, the Company expects to repay this loan balance including all principal and interest in 2022.

 

The Company recorded net deferred tax assets of $2.4 million, primarily relating to deferred tax assets for net operating losses. The Company also booked a deferred tax asset for inventory reserves and deferred tax liabilities related to intangible asset amortization that is not deductible for income taxes. The Company booked a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. While the Company expects book and tax profits in 2022 and future periods, Smarteq has recorded a three-year cumulative tax loss. Based on this objective evidence and uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on the opening balance sheet.

 

Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition was $3.2 million. The Company did not deduct any of the acquired goodwill for tax purposes. The Company recorded $0.3 million of transaction costs in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. The transaction costs were not deductible for income tax purposes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid AAA rated money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such funds utilize the amortized cost method of accounting, seek to maintain a constant $1.00 per share price, and are redeemable upon demand. The Company restricts its investments in AAA money market funds to those invested 100% in either short-term U.S. government agency securities or bank repurchase agreements collateralized by these same securities. The fair values of these money market funds are established through quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). The Company’s cash in U.S. banks is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the insurable limit of $250.

              

The cash in foreign accounts was as follows:

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has no intention of repatriating the cash in its foreign bank accounts. If the Company decides to repatriate the cash in the foreign bank accounts, it may have trouble doing so in a timely manner. The Company may also be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and taxes if it repatriates these funds.

Investments

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s investments consisted of corporate bonds with ratings at the purchase date of A or higher, mutual funds and certificates of deposit. The investments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were classified as held-to-maturity. The bonds, mutual funds and certificates of deposit classified as short-term investments have original maturities greater than 90 days and mature within one year. The bonds and certificates of deposit classified as long-term investments have maturities greater than one year but less than two years. The Company’s bond investments are recorded at the purchase price and carried at amortized cost.  

Under ASU 2016-13, the Company classifies its held-to-maturity investment portfolio by the investment type and further classifies the corporate bonds by the bond ratings. For estimating potential credit losses, the Company considers historical loss data and bond rating, as well as current and future economic conditions.

The Company categorizes its financial instruments within a fair value hierarchy according to accounting guidance for fair value.  The fair value hierarchy is described under the Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Note 2.  For the Level 1 investments, the Company uses fair value estimates based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For the Level 2 investments, the Company uses quoted prices of similar assets in active markets.  The fair values in the table above reflect net unrealizable losses of $4 at June 30, 2022, and net unrealized losses of $1 at December 31, 2021.  

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill    

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:

The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the first month of the fourth fiscal quarter (October 31), or at an interim date if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. In performing the annual impairment test, the Company may consider qualitative factors that would indicate possible impairment. A quantitative fair value assessment is also performed at the reporting unit level. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is then compared against the carrying value of goodwill to determine the amount of impairment. In addition to the annual impairment test, the Company is required to regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on each of the reporting units. Further, the Company assessed the current market capitalization and financial forecasts. There were no triggering events during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021. The Company will continue to monitor goodwill for impairment going forward.  

 

Intangible Assets

The Company amortized intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which ranged from one to five years.

7. Balance Sheet Information

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts with standard net terms that range between 30 and 90 days.  The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required.  The Company records reserves for credit losses and credit allowances that reduce the value of accounts receivable to fair value.

 

The allowances for accounts receivable consisted of the following:

$

$

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through the sale of products. The Company’s methodology for expected losses on accounts receivable uses historical collection experience, current and future economic market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers’ trade accounts receivable. Due to the short-term nature of accounts receivable, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the account receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company’s allowance for credit losses was $35 at June 30, 2022 and $26 at December 31, 2021.

Service-Based Awards

Restricted Stock

The Company grants both service-based and performance-based stock awards to employees pursuant to the PCTEL, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. When service-based restricted stock is granted, the Company records deferred stock compensation within additional paid-in capital, representing the fair value of the common stock on the date the restricted shares are granted. The Company records stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the applicable service-based restricted shares. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company awarded executives and key managers long-term incentives comprised one-third of service-based restricted stock and two-thirds of performance-based restricted stock. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company awarded executives and key managers long-term incentives comprised one-third of service-based restricted stock and two-thirds of performance-based restricted stock.

Stock Options

The Company may grant employees stock options to purchase common stock.  The Company issues stock options with exercise prices no less than the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date.  Employee stock options are subject to installment vesting.  Stock options may be exercised at any time prior to their expiration date or within 180 days of termination of employment, or such shorter time as may be provided in the related stock option agreement. The stock options outstanding at June 30, 2022 have a seven-year life. There was no activity related to stock options during the second quarter 2022.

The intrinsic value is based on the share price of $4.09 at June 30, 2022.

For outstanding employee stock options, the Company calculated the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected option life.  

The dividend yield rate is calculated by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that approximates the expected life of the options granted.  The expected volatility is based on a five-year historical period of the Company’s stock price. The expected life for options granted is based on historical data of employee exercise performance.  The Company records expense based on the graded vesting method.  

Performance-Based Equity Awards

Short-Term Incentive Plan

The Company granted short-term inventive awards to executives, key managers, and non-sales employees under the Company’s 2022 Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) based on upon achievement of specifically identified corporate annual 2022 adjusted EBITDA and revenue goals. The 2022 STIP awards, like the 2021 STIP awards, will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in the Company’s stock.   In the first quarter 2022, the Board of Directors exercised its discretion to approve bonus awards. The first quarter 2022 bonus was equal to those payable for achievement of the 2021 STIP adjusted EBITDA goal at the threshold level. No awards were received by 2021 STIP participants with respect to the revenue goal. These payments were made during the first quarter 2022, 50% in the Company’s common stock for a total of $0.3 million and 50% in cash for executives and key managers and 100% in cash for all other participants.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company grants performance-based awards to executives and key managers to encourage sustainable growth, consistent earnings, and management retention.  Based on the fair value of the shares on the grant date, the Company records stock compensation expense over the performance period based on the estimated achievement of the award.

The Company granted performance awards under its long-term incentive plan to executives and key managers in February 2022 (“2022 LTIP”).  The performance period for the 2022 LTIP is from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024.  At target, the total fair market value of the award was $1.3 million based on the average share price of $4.84 on the grant date.  On the award date, the aggregate number of shares that could be earned at target was 269,618 and the maximum number of aggregate shares that could be earned was 471,832.  

Under the 2022 LTIP and similar plans from 2021 and 2020, shares of the Company’s stock can be earned based on achievement of a three-year revenue growth target with a penalty if a certain Adjusted EBITDA level is not maintained.  If the Company achieves less than the target growth over the performance period, the participant will receive fewer shares than the target award, determined on a straight-line basis. If the Company achieves greater than the target growth, the participant will receive more shares than the target award on an accelerated basis. Participants are required to be in service at the determination date of the award following the end of the performance period in order to receive the award. Shares earned will be fully vested shares.  The Company records stock compensation expense over the performance period based on the Company’s estimate of the aggregate number of shares that will be earned under the incentive plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of each offering period.  Each offering period is approximately six months.     

Based on the 15% discount and the fair value of the option feature of the ESPP, it is considered compensatory.  Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the Black-Scholes model.

The Company calculated the fair value of each employee stock purchase grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

Board of Director Equity Awards

The Company grants equity awards to members of its Board of Directors as an annual retainer and for committee service. These awards are shares of the Company’s stock that vest one year after issuance. In addition, new directors receive a one-time grant that vests over three years. In May 2022, the Company issued 120,768 shares to directors for their annual retainer and committee services. The fair value of the service-based restricted shares for directors that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $47.

 Employee Withholding Taxes on Stock Awards

For ease in administering the issuance of stock awards, the Company holds back shares of vested restricted stock awards, stock option exercises and short-term and long-term incentive plan stock awards for the value of the statutory withholding taxes.  For everyone receiving a share award, the Company redeems the shares it computes as the value for the withholding tax and remits this amount to the appropriate tax authority. For withholding taxes related to stock awards, the Company paid $0.4 million and $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies      

Tianjin Manufacturing Restructuring

Due to uncertainties with its Tianjin facility lease and to optimize the cost structure of the antenna product line and create flexibility in antenna manufacturing, the Company initiated a restructuring plan in 2019 to transition manufacturing from its Tianjin, China facility primarily to contract manufacturers in China. The Company substantially completed the transition in the first quarter 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred restructuring expenses of $1.2 million, including $1.1 million for employee severance and benefits related to the separation of 78 employees and $0.1 million related to fixed assets and facilities. Severance costs

20


 

were paid from the Company’s cash in its China bank accounts. When the transition was completed in April 2022, the Company vacated the Tianjin manufacturing facility and relocated a small team of employees associated with sourcing, quality, and local customer support in a new leased facility in Tianjin, China. See Note 11 for additional information on the Tianjin lease.               

Beijing Restructuring

As a cost saving initiative, the Company separated 14 employees from its Beijing office in November 2021. The terminated positions were primarily related to antenna engineering and sales support. The Company incurred restructuring expenses of $0.8 million consisting of employee severance and related employee benefits and for professional fees associated with employee separations. The Company engaged four former Beijing employees through a third-party employment agency to provide sales and engineering support. In January 2022, the Company paid $0.4 million related to severance benefits accrued at December 31, 2021.

11. Leases

The Company has operating leases for facilities and finance leases for office equipment.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet.  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract.

Right of Use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company's lease term is deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. ROU assets also include any advance lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. As most of the Company's operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments on a collateralized basis. Finance lease agreements generally include an

21


 

interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating fixed lease expense and finance lease depreciation expense are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company's lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, included the following components:

The Company completed the transition of antenna manufacturing from its Tianjin, China facility to contract manufacturers during the first quarter of 2022. In April 2022, the Company vacated the manufacturing facility and moved a small team of employees associated with sourcing, quality, and local customer support to a new leased facility in Tianjin, China. The Company entered into a two-year lease ending December 31, 2023 for 1,694 square feet of space in a new office located in Tianjin, China. The Company recognized a present value of the right of use asset of $0.1 million for this new office lease.

 

As a cost saving initiative, the Company separated all 14 employees from its Beijing office in November 2021 and the Company closed this office in the first quarter of 2022. In April 2022, the Company entered into a two-year office lease ending April 30, 2024 for 350 square feet of office space. The Company recognized a present value of the right of use asset of $0.1 for this new office lease.  Four former employees in Beijing were engaged through a third-party employment agency and will provide sales and engineering support from the new smaller office.

 

As part of the acquisition of Smarteq on April 30, 2021, the Company assumed an office lease and two automotive leases. The office in Kista, Sweden has 4,080 square feet used for engineering, sales, and administration with a lease term ending July 31, 2023. On the acquisition date, the Company recorded $0.2 million for each of the ROU assets and the lease liabilities.

 

12. Borrowings

 

As part of the Smarteq acquisition, the Company assumed a five-year loan of approximately $0.1 million with an interest rate of 0.57%. The loan was part of a program from the French Ministry of Economy and Finance as financial support for French businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan is denominated in Euros. The Principal and interest is due in equal monthly installments from June 2022 until the loan term ends in May 2026. However, the Company expects to repay this loan balance including all principal and interest in 2022.

 

13. Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of $39 and $12 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was lower than the statutory rate of 21% because the Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance is due to the uncertainty regarding the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company had deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities of $15.0 million at June 30, 2022 and $15.3 million at December 31, 2021. By jurisdiction, $11.9 million was associated with the US, $1.1 million was associated with China, and $2.0 million was associated with Sweden. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets consist of federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”), credits, and timing differences.

 

As part of the acquisition of Smarteq, the recorded deferred tax assets of $2.4 million associated with NOLs, inventory reserves, and recorded tax liabilities associated with acquired intangible assets. Because of the objective evidence of cumulative three-year losses at the acquisition date and uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.  

 

On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The Company considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a

23


 

valuation allowance. The Company’s federal NOLs generated in 2018 and future periods will not expire, and the Company’s NOLs and credits generated as of December 31, 2017 have a finite life primarily based on the 20-year carry forward of federal net operating losses. The timing differences have a ratable reversal pattern over 12 years.    

 

The Company had a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets in each of its jurisdictions at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For the U.S tax jurisdiction, the Company recorded pretax book losses for the six months ended June, 30, 2022. In 2021, the Company recorded pretax book income but generated a tax loss and its earnings were below its projections. While the Company has recorded pretax book income for the prior three years and believes its financial outlook remains positive, it incurred losses for the first half of 2022 and did not meet expectations in 2021 for revenues or earnings. The Company’s performance versus its projections in both of the prior two years are considered significant negative evidence that is difficult to overcome on a “more likely than not” standard through objectively verifiable data. While the Company believes its financial outlook remains positive, under the accounting standards, objective verifiable evidence will have greater weight than subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth. The Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets because of difficulties with forecasting financial results historically, and due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Until an appropriate level of profitability is attained, the Company expects to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Any U.S. or foreign tax benefits or tax expense recorded on its consolidated statements of operations will be offset with a corresponding valuation allowance until such time that the Company changes its determination related to the realization of deferred tax assets. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such a determination is made.

 

The analysis that the Company prepared to determine the valuation allowance required significant judgment and assumptions regarding future market conditions as well as forecasts for profits, taxable income, and taxable income by jurisdiction. Due to the sensitivity of the analysis, changes to the assumptions in subsequent periods could have a material effect on the valuation allowance.

 

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return, income tax returns with various states, and foreign income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal tax returns remain subject to examination for 2018 and subsequent periods. The Company’s U.S. state tax returns remain subject to examination for 2017 and subsequent periods. The Company’s foreign tax returns remain subject to examination for 2011 and subsequent periods. The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit was $0.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

On March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act” (CARES Act) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Under the CARES Act, the Company deferred the employer portion of social security taxes and applied for a refund of its Alternative Minimum Tax credit. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had deferred $0.2 million of payroll taxes which will be paid on December 31, 2022. The amount to be paid on December 31, 2022 is not deductible for 2021 income tax purposes.

15. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

Under Topic 606, a contract with a customer is an agreement that both parties have approved, that creates enforceable rights and obligations, has commercial substance, and specified payment terms, and for which collectability is probable. Once the Company has entered into a contract, it is evaluated to identify performance obligations. For each performance obligation, revenue is recognized as control of promised goods or services transfers to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to

25


 

receive in exchange for those goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized takes into account variable consideration, such as returns and volume rebates. A majority of the Company’s revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments within one year from order. The Company's payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days.

 

All of the Company’s revenue relates to contracts with customers. The Company’s accounting contracts are from purchase orders or purchase orders combined with purchase agreements. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized on a “point-in-time” basis and a nominal amount of revenue is recognized “over time”. For the sale of antenna products and test & measurement products, the Company satisfies its performance obligations generally at the time of shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual terms with its customers. For products shipped on consignment, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery from the consignment location.  For its test & measurement software tools, the Company has a performance obligation to provide software maintenance and support for one year.  The Company recognizes revenues for the maintenance and support over this period.  

 

The Company considers shipping and handling performed by the Company as fulfillment activities. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenues, while costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues. The Company excludes taxes from the transaction price.  Cost of contracts include sales commissions. The Company expenses the cost of contracts when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less.

 

The Company allows its major distributors and certain other customers to return unused product under specified terms and conditions.  The Company estimates product returns based on historical sales and return trends and records a corresponding refund liability. The refund liability was $0.3 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively and is included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The Company records an asset based on historical experience for the amount of product it expects to return to inventory as a result of customer returns, which is recorded in inventories in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The product return asset was $0.1 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

There were no contract assets at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Company records contract liabilities for deferred revenue and customer prepayments. Contract liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The contract liability was $1.0 million and $0.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $0.6 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of the period.   

 

16. Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events occurring between the most recent balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements are available to be issued in order to determine whether the subsequent events are to be recorded and/or disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and footnotes. The financial statements are considered to be available to be issued at the time that they are filed with the SEC. There were no subsequent events or transactions that required recognition or disclosure in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue growth in these markets is driven by the increased use and complexity of wireless communications.

Our antenna portfolio includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Land Mobile Radio (“LMR”), Tetra, Global Navigation Satellite System (“GNSS”), Cellular, Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (“ISM”), Long Range (“LoRa”), and combination antenna solutions. The market applications for our antennas include public safety communications, military communications, utilities & energy, precision agriculture, smart traffic management, Electric Vehicle (“EV”) charging stations, embedded vehicles, forestry machinery & off-road vehicles. For smart traffic management, we provide antenna systems for smart roadways and smart rail. Fleet antennas for public safety, including police vehicles, are a key market. We not only manufacture the antennas, but we also provide engineering design

27


 

services to determine the layout of multi-antenna installations to minimize potential interference between each antenna element. Our customized solutions often result in general purpose products with advance capabilities, such as multi-element antenna systems in a single radome. These systems can include several LTE bands, Wi-Fi bands and GPS navigation elements, all in one housing. An antenna designed for one application can be modified to be used for other applications.

Our Industrial IoT device portfolio includes access points, radio modules, sensor communication modules, and wireless communication sensors. The market applications for our Industrial IoT devices include utilities and smart grid, oil and gas, manufacturing, logistics, industrial automation, smart metering, and asset tracking.

Our strategy is to provide a “toolbox” of hardware solutions to our existing OEMs and distributors for Industrial IoT systems. We provide all of the field hardware required for wireless Industrial IoT systems - antennas, ruggedized Wi-Fi access points, radio modules, and integrated cellular sensors for Industrial IoT. Our go-to-market strategy for this growing sector is to sell more RF hardware components to our customers that traditionally purchase antennas from PCTEL.  

Test & Measurement Products

PCTEL provides RF test & measurement products that improve the performance of wireless networks globally, with a focus on LTE, public safety, and 5G technologies. Revenue growth in this market is driven by the implementation and roll out of new wireless technology standards (i.e., 3G to 4G, 4G to 5G) and new market applications for public safety and government. The market applications for our test & measurement equipment includes cellular testing, public safety and private radio network testing, federal government communications testing, and indoor building network testing. Our portfolio includes scanning receivers, scanning receiver software, public safety solutions, interference location systems, mmwave transmitters, and a cloud-based reporting platform.

Our scanning receivers are software defined radios used to 1) confirm adequate RF coverage during deployment, 2) identify interfering signals which decrease capacity, 3) troubleshoot system performance issues as networks expand, and 4) benchmark competing networks because our scanning receivers can scan all technologies across all frequencies during one test. They are necessary for initial network deployment and throughout the entire life cycle of the mobile network. Most of our 4G scanners can be upgraded to 5G via firmware. Our new Gflex scanning receiver includes advanced features to address 5G and broader critical communication and government applications such as signal intelligence.  

We provide test & measurement equipment to test in-building communication capability important for first responders and to certify buildings meet certain in-building wireless communication standards. We provide test & measurement equipment to test public safety networks, including P25, Tetra and digital mobile radio (“DMR”).  

Our cloud-based reporting platform for public safety is a subscription-based service for test management, storage and analytics that allows stakeholders, including engineering service companies, building owners and government jurisdictions, to easily manage the data collection process and access final reports through an online map-based interface.

Consistent with our mission to solve complex network engineering problems and to compete effectively in the RF test & measurement market, PCTEL maintains expertise in the following areas: RF engineering, digital signal processing (“DSP”) engineering, wireless network engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and product quality and testing. Competitors for PCTEL’s test & measurement products include OEMs such as Anritsu, Berkley Varitronics, Digital Receiver Technology, Rohde and Schwarz, and Viavi.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and associated counter-acting measures implemented by governments and businesses around the world, as well as subsequent recoveries in global business activity, continue to contribute uncertainty in the global business environment and has led to supply chain disruptions and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor, and as well as increased inflationary pressures. Currently our expectation is that the impact of material cost inflation, labor constraints and logistics challenges and supplier component shortages will continue throughout 2022.

 

Our foremost focus as we respond to the pandemic has been on the health and safety of our employees. We continue to maintain our enhanced health and safety protocols at our facilities and are encouraging our employees to obtain vaccinations and boosters, as necessary. We continue to closely monitor the risks posed by COVID-19 and the guidance from relevant authorities. We adjust our health and safety protocols and practices accordingly, as we have throughout the pandemic.

 

The public health situation, as well as global measures and corresponding impacts on various markets remain fluid and uncertain and may lead to sudden changes in trajectory and outlook. We will continue to proactively respond to the situation and may take further actions that alter our business activity as may be required by governmental authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and operations.

Second Quarter Overview

 

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $25.0 million, an increase of 15.2% compared to $21.7 million for the same period in 2021. By product line, revenues increased by $1.0 million (15.9%) to $7.4 million for test & measurement products and increased by $2.0 million (12.8%) to $17.6 million for antennas and Industrial IoT devices. The increase in revenues for antennas and Industrial IoT devices was primarily due to higher revenues with antennas for fleet applications and a full quarter of revenues related to sales of Smarteq products. Gross profits of $11.4 million for the quarter increased by $1.5 million compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the revenue increases for both product lines. Operating expense of $11.1 million was $1.0 million higher than in the second quarter 2021. The increase results from additional restructuring expenses of $0.3 million, higher incentive compensation expenses, travel and marketing expenses, and a full quarter of Smarteq’s operating expenses. The net impact of these changes resulted in income before tax of $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the loss before tax of $0.2 million in the second quarter 2021.

 

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $47.5 million, an increase of 20.6% compared to $39.4 million for the same period in 2021. By product line, revenues increased by $0.4 million (3.1%) to $13.0 million for test & measurement products and increased by $7.4 million (27.0%) to $34.7 million for antennas and Industrial IoT devices. The increase in revenues for test & measurement products was driven by growth in products for public safety applications. The increase in revenues for antennas and Industrial IoT devices was primarily due to revenues for fleet applications and from the inclusion of six months of revenues related to the acquisition of Smarteq. Gross profits of $20.8 million increased by $2.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to the higher revenues in both product lines. Operating expense of $22.0 million was $2.9 million higher than the same period in the prior year. The increase results from additional restructuring expenses of $1.2 million, higher incentive compensation expenses, travel and marketing expenses, and six months of Smarteq’s operating expenses. The net impact of these changes resulted in an increase in our loss before tax of $0.3 million to a net loss of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

 

Our cash and investments increased by $0.6 million during the second quarter 2022 as we generated free cash flow of $1.6 million and paid our quarterly dividend of $1.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and investments of $28.3 million and debt of $0.1 million.

 

Smarteq Acquisition

 

On April 30, 2021, we acquired all the outstanding stock of Smarteq Wireless Aktiebolag, a Swedish company based in Kista, Sweden that designs antennas for specialized Industrial IoT and vehicular applications (“Smarteq”), pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement between PCTEL and Allgon Aktiebolag, a Swedish company and holder of the outstanding stock of Smarteq (the “Agreement”). Smarteq owns all the outstanding stock of SAS Smarteq France, which engages in sales of Smarteq products. PCTEL paid cash consideration of SEK 56.8 million ($6.8 million) at the close of the transaction, all of which was provided from PCTEL’s existing cash. We believe the acquisition of Smarteq provides us with a strong local presence, expertise for our antenna product line, and channel partners to accelerate our growth in Europe, as well as a complementary portfolio of products for our Industrial IoT and intelligent transportation customers worldwide. The results for Smarteq are combined with the Company’s antenna and Industrial IoT devices product line.

Research and development expenses were higher by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

Research and development expenses were higher by $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to higher development expenses for new test & measurement products and inclusion of six months of Smarteq’s expense for research and development which offset the reduction in expense resulting from the termination of engineering employees in Beijing, China during the fourth quarter 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses include costs associated with the sales and marketing employees, product line management, and trade show expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to higher employee related expenses, travel and marketing expenses, and the inclusion of a full quarter of expenses for Smarteq.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to higher employee-related expenses, travel and marketing expenses, and the inclusion of six months of Smarteq’s expenses.

General and administrative expenses include costs associated with general management, finance, human resources, IT, legal, public company costs, and other operating expenses to the extent not otherwise allocated to business segments.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to expenses for cash-based incentive compensation programs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to expenses for cash-based incentive compensation programs and inclusion of six months of Smarteq’s expenses.

Amortization of intangible assets within operating expenses was $67 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $138 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which relates to amortization of intangible assets for Smarteq acquisition.

 

Restructuring expenses relate to expenses for the transition of manufacturing operations from our Tianjin, China facility to contract manufacturers. Restructuring expenses of $0.3 million for three months ended June 30, 2022 and $1.3 million for six months ended June 30, 2022, consisted primarily of employee severance and payroll related costs associated with the termination of 69 Tianjin-based employees in the first quarter 2022 and 9 employees in the second quarter 2022.

Other income, net consists of interest income, foreign exchange gains, and interest expense. Interest income from investment securities increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher average interest rates. Foreign exchange gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were related to changes in the exchange rate between the Swedish Krona and the U.S. dollar as well as between the Chinese Yuan and the U.S. dollar.

We recorded income tax expense of $39 and $12 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 differed from the Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because we have a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The full valuation allowance is due to the uncertainty regarding the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

 

On a regular basis, we evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. We considered multiple factors in our evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets was $15.0 million at June 30, 2022 and at December 31, 2021. The deferred tax assets consist of domestic deferred tax assets of $11.9 million and foreign deferred tax assets of $3.1 million.

 

We recorded pretax book losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and pretax book income during 2021.We believe our financial outlook remains positive. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and recent macroeconomic trends, including the current environment of inflationary pressures have created a high level of uncertainty. Due to this uncertainty, as well as difficulties with forecasting financial results historically, we maintained a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2022. The analysis that we prepared to determine the valuation allowance required significant judgment and assumptions regarding future market conditions as well as forecasts for profits, taxable income, and taxable income by jurisdiction. Due to the sensitivity of the analysis, changes to the assumptions in subsequent periods could have a material effect on the valuation allowance. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information related to income taxes.

Net Income (Loss)

We recorded net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net loss of $0.2 million for the same period in 2021, as higher gross profits from an increase in revenues offset higher operating expenses. Operating expenses were higher by $1.0 million due to restructuring expenses and higher expenses for sales and marketing related to travel and trade shows.

We recorded a net loss of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net loss of $0.8 million for the same period in 2021, as higher operating expenses offset higher gross profits from an increase in revenues. Operating expenses were higher by $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 as we incurred an additional $1.2 million in restructuring expenses, higher sales and marketing expenses of $1.2 million, and higher expenses in other functional areas of $0.5 million.

Overview

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations, with short-term swings in liquidity supported by a significant balance of cash and short-term investments. The balance has fluctuated with cash from operations, acquisitions and divestitures, payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common shares.

 

Within operating activities, we are historically a net generator of operating funds from our income statement activities and during periods of expansion, we expect to use cash from our balance sheet.

 

Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 2.0% and 4.0% of our revenues and the primary use of capital is for manufacturing, engineering, and product development. We historically have made significant transfers between investments and cash as we rotate our large cash balances and short-term investment balances between money market funds, which are accounted for as cash equivalents, and other investment vehicles. We have a history of supplementing our organic revenue with acquisitions of product lines or companies, resulting in significant uses of our cash and short-term investment balances from time to time. We expect the historical trend for capital spending and the variability caused by moving money between cash and investments and periodic merger and acquisition activity to continue in the future.

 

Within financing activities, we have historically generated funds from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the ESPP. We have historically used funds to issue dividends and we periodically repurchase shares of our common stock through share repurchase programs. We used $3.2 million for the repurchase of shares during 2021. Share repurchases were funded with cash on hand.

 

At June 30, 2022, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were approximately $28.1 million, and we had working capital of $47.9 million. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have proactively managed our costs and our working capital in order to protect our financial position and maintain our workforce. Management believes our cash and investments provide adequate liquidity and working capital for the next twelve months from the date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to support our operations given our historic ability to generate free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital spending) and our low level of debt.

Operating Activities:

 

Operating activities generated $0.3 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We generated $2.2 million of cash from our statement of operations and used $1.9 million from the balance sheet. The balance sheet reflects a net use of cash due to net increases in accounts receivable and inventories and from payments of accrued liabilities. Accounts receivable increased by $0.6 million during the first half of 2022 due to higher sequential revenues. Net inventories were higher at June 30, 2022 compared to year end 2021 as increases for test & measurement products offset decreases for antennas and Industrial IoT devices. Inventories were higher for test & measurement products to allow us to maintain customer service levels while managing supply chain delays and component shortages. The net decrease in inventory for antennas and Industrial IoT devices was primarily due to the transition of manufacturing in China to contract manufacturers.   

 

Operating activities generated $3.1 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We generated $2.4 million of cash from our statement of operations activities and $0.7 million from the balance sheet. The balance sheet was a net source of cash as accounts receivable collections offset the impact of higher inventories. Accounts receivable decreased by $1.3 million primarily due to lower days sales outstanding on outstanding invoices. Inventories increased for both product lines by approximately $1.1 million to allow us to maintain customer service levels while managing supply chain delays and component shortages.    

 

Investing Activities:

 

Our investing activities used $0.4 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

We used $0.4 million for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2022.  

 

Our investing activities provided $2.7 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2021. In April 2021, the Company used $6.3 million for the purchase of Smarteq, net of cash acquired. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, redemptions and maturities of our investments provided $26.3 million in funds and we rotated $16.1 million of cash into new investments. We used $1.3 million for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  

Financing Activities:

 

We used $2.0 million in cash for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We use certain critical accounting policies as described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of the 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

See our 2021 Form 10-K (Item 7A).  As of June 30, 2022, there have been no material changes in this information.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.  

In connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d), management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has identified that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite previously having a remote working environment for all non-production related employees and now having a hybrid work environment. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.
