Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are unaudited. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments which are normal and recurring, and necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022.
Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes principally to conform to the presentation of the current year period.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This updated guidance sets forth a current expected credit loss model based on expected losses. Under this model, an entity recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasted information rather than the current methodology of delaying recognition of credit losses until it is probable a loss has been incurred. This guidance becomes effective for the Company beginning in interim periods starting in fiscal year 2023. The impact of adopting the new standard is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassification have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
7
3. Credit Facility
On March 31, 2022, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Smith Micro Software, LLC, as co-borrowers entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association providing for a $7.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that can be utilized to finance the Company’s working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, and of which up to $0.5 million is available for letters of credit.
The Credit Facility will mature on March 31, 2023. The loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate plus 2%. The Credit Facility allows voluntary repayment of outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the property of the borrowers.
The Credit Facility contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type, including negative covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the borrowers to incur liens, limit the ability of the borrowers to make certain fundamental changes and limit the ability of the borrowers to incur other indebtedness, in each case subject to exceptions and qualifications. The Credit Facility also contains a current asset coverage ratio covenant for any quarter in which the Credit Facility has an outstanding balance. This covenant requires the ratio of (i) the sum of cash plus marketable securities, plus accounts receivable to (ii) the principal balance outstanding of the Credit Facility to not be less than 2.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and there were no instances of noncompliance with covenants.
In connection with the transactions described further in Note 12, the Credit Facility was terminated on August 11, 2022.
4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Smith Micro reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s impairment testing will be performed annually on December 31. Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there were no goodwill impairment indicators at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The components of the Company’s intangible assets were as follows for the periods presented:

5. Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For periods with a net loss, the dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, options, and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.
The following table sets forth the details of basic and diluted earnings per share:

All outstanding options under the 2005 Plan remain outstanding, but no new grants will be made under the 2005 Plan. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance over the term of the 2015 OEIP may not exceed 9,625,000 shares.
The 2015 OEIP provides for the issuance of full value awards (restricted stock, performance stock, dividend equivalent right or restricted stock units) and partial value awards (stock options or stock appreciation rights) to employees, non-employee members of the board and consultants. Any full value award settled in shares will be debited as 1.2 shares, and partial value awards settled in shares will be debited as 1.0 shares against the share reserve. The exercise price per share for stock option grants is not to be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to determine the vesting schedule. Stock options may be exercisable immediately or in installments, but generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant. In the event the holder ceases to be employed by the Company, all unvested stock options terminate, and all vested stock options may be exercised within a period of 90 days following termination. In general, stock options expire ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock is valued using the closing stock price on the date of the grant. The total value is expensed over the vesting period of 12 to 48 months.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has a shareholder approved employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), under which substantially all employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning and end of six-month offering periods. An employee’s payroll deductions under the ESPP are limited to 10% of the employee’s compensation and employees may not purchase more than the lesser of $25,000 of stock, or 250 shares, for any purchase period. Additionally, no more than 250,000 shares in the aggregate may be purchased under the plan.
Stock Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on their fair values and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for each award as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
Compensation Costs
Non-cash stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock grants and the ESPP were recorded in the financial statements as follows (in thousands):

7. Revenues
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes the sale of goods and services based on the five-step analysis of transactions as provided in Topic 606, which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods and services.
The Company recognizes sales of goods and services based on the five-step analysis of transactions as provided in Topic 606. For all contracts with customers, the Company first identifies the contract which usually is established when a contract is fully executed by each party and consideration is expected to be received. Next, the Company identifies the performance obligations in the contract. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company then determines the transaction price in the arrangement and allocates the transaction price, if necessary, to each performance obligation identified in the contract. The allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations are based on the relative standalone selling prices for the goods and services contained in a particular performance obligation. The transaction price is adjusted for the Company’s estimate of variable consideration which may include certain incentives and discounts, product returns, distributor fees, and storage fees. The Company evaluates the total amount of variable consideration expected to be earned by using the expected value method, as the Company believes this method represents the most appropriate estimate for this consideration, based on historical service trends, the individual contract considerations, and its best judgment at the time. The Company includes estimates of variable consideration in revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company also generates the majority of its revenue on usage-based fees which are variable and depend entirely on customers’ use of perpetual licenses, transactions processed on the Company’s hosted environment, advertisement placements on the Company’s service platform, and activity on the Company’s cloud-based service platform.
The Company’s contracts with the mobile network operator (“MNO”) customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that
11
should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Smith Micro’s cloud-based services include a software solution license integrated with cloud-based services. Since the Company does not allow its customers to take possession of the cloud-based elements of its software solutions, and since the utility of the license comes from the cloud-based services that the Company provides, Smith Micro considers the software license and the cloud services to be a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue associated with its MNO customers based on their active subscribers’ access and usage of Smith Micro’s software licenses and cloud-based services on Smith Micro’s platforms.
Smith Micro has made accounting policy elections to exclude all taxes by governmental authorities from the measurement of the transaction price, and since the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.

8. Segment, Customer Concentration and Geographical Information
Segment Information
Public companies are required to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has one primary business unit based on how management internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility: Wireless. The Wireless segment includes the Family Safety (which includes SafePath®), CommSuite®, and ViewSpot® families of products.
The Company does not separately allocate operating expenses to these product lines, nor does it allocate specific assets. Therefore, product line information reported includes only revenues.
The following table presents the Wireless revenues by product line:

The Company does not separately allocate specific assets to these geographic locations.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management does not believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of these proceedings, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period.
Other Contingent Contractual Obligations
During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in connection with certain transactions. These include: indemnities to the Company’s customers pursuant to contracts for the Company’s products and services, including indemnities with respect to intellectual property, confidentiality and data privacy; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from use of such facility or under such lease; indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company; indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts; and indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In addition, the Company has made or may make contractual commitments to employees providing for severance payments upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. The Company may also issue a guarantee in the form of a standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees varies, and in certain cases may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees may not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
10. Leases
The Company leases office space and equipment, and certain office space is subleased. Management determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement and reviews all options to extend, terminate, or purchase its right-of-use assets at the inception of the lease and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised.
Leases with an initial term of greater than twelve months are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s lease contracts generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. For these contracts, the estimated incremental borrowing rate is based on information available at the inception of the lease.

11. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” realization standard. The four sources of taxable income that must be considered in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized are: (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (i.e., offset of gross deferred tax liabilities against gross deferred tax assets); (2) taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the applicable tax law; (3) tax planning strategies; and (4) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.
In assessing whether a valuation allowance is required, significant weight is to be given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A significant factor in the Company’s assessment is that the Company was in a three-year historical cumulative loss as of the end of fiscal 2021. In addition, the Company was also in a loss for fiscal 2017 and 2018. These facts, combined with uncertain near-term market and economic conditions, reduced the Company’s ability to rely on projections of future taxable income in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets.
After a review of the four sources of taxable income as of December 31, 2021, and after consideration of the Company’s cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2021, the Company will continue to reserve its U.S.-based deferred tax amounts, which total $57.3 million as of June 30, 2022.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. Currently there are no audits in process or pending from federal or state tax authorities. The Company is no longer subject to examination for U.S. federal income tax returns for years before December 31, 2018 and for state income tax returns, the Company is no longer subject to examination for years before December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2022, the company had no outstanding tax audits. The outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax
14
audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs. Smith Micro may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the consolidated financial results of the Company. It is the Company’s policy to classify any interest and/or penalties in the consolidated financial statements as a component of income tax expense.
12. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates and discloses subsequent events as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 855, Subsequent Events. The Topic establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into a private placement of senior secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $15 million and a conversion price of $3.35 per share, subject to adjustment, and warrants to acquire an aggregate amount of 2,238,805 shares of the Company's common stock.. The warrants are exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $3.35 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. Concurrently with the convertible note transaction, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement to sell 1,132,075 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $2.65 per share of stock together with an equivalent number of warrants. Each warrant will be exercisable on the six-month anniversary of the date of its issuance at an exercise price of $2.65 per share and will expire five years from the date it first becomes exercisable.
Subsequent events have been evaluated as of the date of this filing and no further disclosures are required.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements regarding Smith Micro which include, but are not limited to, statements concerning customer concentration, projected revenues, market acceptance of products, the success and timing of new product introductions, the competitive factors affecting our business, our ability to raise additional capital, gross profit and income, our expenses, the protection of our intellectual property, and our ability to remain a going concern. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “should,” “may,” “will,” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•our customer concentration, given that the majority of our sales currently depend on a few large client relationships;
•our ability to establish and maintain strategic relationships with our customers and mobile device manufacturers, their ability to attract customers, and their willingness to promote our products;
•our ability to hire and retain key personnel;
•the possibility of security and privacy breaches in our systems and in the third-party software and/or systems that we use, damaging client relations and inhibiting our ability to grow;
•failure to realize the expected benefits of recent acquisitions;
•interruptions or delays in the services we provide from our data center hosting facilities that could harm our business;
•our dependency upon effective operation with operating systems, devices, networks and standards that we do not control and on our continued relationships with mobile operating system providers, device manufacturers and mobile software application stores on commercially reasonable terms or at all;
•our ability and/or customers’ ability to distribute our mobile software applications to their end users through third party mobile software application stores, which we do not control;
•the existence of undetected software defects in our products and our failure to resolve detected defects in a timely manner;
•our current client concentration within the vertical wireless carrier market, and the potential impact to our business resulting from changes within this vertical market, or failure to penetrate new markets;
•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results;
•rapid technological evolution and resulting changes in demand for our products from our key customers and their end users;
•intense competition in our industry and the core vertical markets in which we operate, and our ability to successfully compete;
•the risks inherent with international operations;
•the impact of evolving information security and data privacy laws on our business and industry;
•the impact of governmental regulations on our business and industry;
•our ability to protect our intellectual property and our ability to operate our business without infringing on the rights of others;
•the risk of being delisted from NASDAQ if we fail to meet any of its applicable listing requirements;
•our ability to raise additional capital and the risk of such capital not being available to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all;
16
•risks related to the existence and terms of our outstanding convertible notes, including that they may restrict our ability to obtain additional financing, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and cash flows from operations in the future, and could require us to curtail or cease our operations;
•the risk that the conversion of our outstanding convertible notes and exercise of the warrants issued in connection therewith will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock;
•the risk that our obligations to the holders of our convertible notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets, and if we default on those obligations, the note holders could foreclose on our assets;
•our ability to be profitable;
•our ability to remain a going concern;
•changes in our operating income due to shifts in our sales mix and variability in our operating expenses;
•our ability to assimilate acquisitions without diverting management attention and impacting current operations;
•the availability of third-party intellectual property and licenses needed for our operations on commercially reasonable terms, or at all;
•the difficulty of predicting our quarterly revenues and operating results and the chance of such revenues and results falling below analyst or investor expectations, which could cause the price of our common stock to fall; and
•those additional factors which are listed under Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 under the caption “RISK FACTORS.”
The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are made on the basis of the views and assumptions of management regarding future events and business performance as of the date this Report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; therefore, new risk factors can arise, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We do not undertake any obligation to update these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date this Report is filed.
Overview
Smith Micro provides software solutions that simplify and enhance the mobile experience to some of the leading wireless and cable service providers around the globe. From enabling the Digital Family Lifestyle™ to providing powerful voice messaging capabilities, we strive to enrich today’s connected lifestyles while creating new opportunities to engage consumers via smartphones and consumer IoT devices. Our portfolio includes a wide range of products for creating, sharing, and monetizing rich content, such as visual voice messaging, retail content display optimization and performance analytics on any product set.
We continue to innovate and evolve our business to respond to industry trends and maximize opportunities in emerging markets, such as digital lifestyle services and online safety, “Big Data” analytics, automotive telematics, and the consumer IoT marketplace. The key to our longevity, however, is not simply technological innovation, but our never-ending focus on understanding our customers’ needs and delivering value.
In the second quarter of 2022 our revenues declined by 20% to $12.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the $2.5 million decrease in CommSuite revenues coupled with a $1.0 million decrease in our family safety product line. These revenue declines resulted from the acceleration of T-Mobile's efforts to migrate legacy Sprint subscribers to the T-Mobile network. As part of this initiative, T-Mobile is winding down Sprint's legacy premium visual voicemail services, which we expect to result in the CommSuite deployment reaching its end-of-life before the end of 2022. Since our acquisitions of Circle Media Labs, Inc.'s ("Circle") operator business in 2020 and Avast plc's and certain of its subsidiaries' family safety mobile business (the "Family Safety Mobile Business") in April 2021, we have been focused on migrating the customers from the acquired software platforms to our flagship SafePath platform, with the first such migration being completed during the first quarter of 2022 at one of our U.S. Tier 1 carrier customers. Until we complete these migrations, we must continue to maintain multiple family safety platforms and as a result, we have experienced a decrease in our gross margin during the second quarter of 2022, resulting in a gross profit of $9.1 million. Our operating
17
expenses have increased during the second quarter of 2022 as a result of our ongoing migration efforts and severance costs incurred during the quarter, offset by a decline in acquisition related costs. The net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $8.5 million, resulting in a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.15 per share.
We now provide white label family safety applications to all three Tier 1 wireless carriers in the United States. In future quarters, we expect our overall family safety platform revenue to increase because of our competitive positioning with U.S. Tier 1 carrier customers, as we continue to believe that we remain strategically positioned to offer our market-leading family safety platform to the majority of U.S. mobile subscribers. We believe that as we complete our development efforts associated with the migration to the SafePath platform, our development costs should decline, which we expect will begin to occur during the third quarter of 2022. In addition, we anticipate that certain costs of sales related to the acquired platforms will be eliminated once the SafePath migrations are completed over the next year, which is expected to result in an increase in our gross margins.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Revenues. Revenues were $12.7 million and $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of $3.2 million, or 20%. This decrease was primarily related to decreases associated with CommSuite of $2.5 million and our legacy family safety product lines of $1.0 million, offset by an increase in ViewSpot revenue of $0.3 million .
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues were $3.6 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase of $0.2 million was primarily due to incremental costs associated with maintaining multiple family safety platforms.
Gross profit. Gross profit was $9.1 million, or 71.5% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $12.6 million, or 78.9% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease of $3.5 million in gross profit was a result of increased costs associated with operating the Family Safety Mobile Business and higher operational costs associated with maintaining multiple family safety platforms as we continue to transition our Tier 1 customers onto a single platform, combined with the period-over-period decline in revenue volume.
18
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $3.7 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase of $0.6 million was primarily due to charges for severance costs, including stock based compensation, of $0.7 million.
Research and development. Research and development expenses were $8.2 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively. This increase of $1.1 million was primarily due to the increase in contractor costs associated with supporting SafePath development.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease of $0.9 million was primarily due to acquisition related costs of $1.0 million incurred in 2021 relating to the acquisition of the Family Mobile Safety Business.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $1.6 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease of $1.0 million was primarily related to amortization of intangible assets in 2021 that have now been fully amortized.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Revenues. Revenues were $25.4 million and $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of $1.9 million, or 7%. This decrease was driven by a decline in CommSuite revenues of approximately $5.2 million as a result of the continued migration of legacy Sprint customers onto the T-Mobile network. Partially offsetting this decline were increases in our Family Safety and ViewSpot product lines of $3.1 million and $0.3 million respectively.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues were $7.3 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase of $2.4 million was primarily due to supporting the increased revenues associated with the Family Safety Mobile Business and incremental costs associated with maintaining multiple family safety platforms.
Gross profit. Gross profit was $18.2 million, or 71.5% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $22.4 million, or 82.0% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease of $4.2 million in gross profit is a result of increased costs associated with the acquired Family Safety Mobile Business and higher operational costs associated with maintaining multiple family safety platforms combined with the period-over-period decline in revenue volume.
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $6.7 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase of $1.3 million is primarily due to charges for severance costs, including stock based compensation of $0.7 million in the current period, combined with increases in personnel related costs.
Research and development. Research and development expenses were $15.6 million and $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase of $3.7 million was primarily due to personnel related expenses and contractor costs associated with supporting SafePath development.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million and $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease of $0.5 million was due to a decline of $1.6 million in transaction and professional service costs associated with our acquisition of the Family Safety Mobile Business in 2021, partially offset by increased costs associated with the full period effect of the acquisition, which occurred in April 2021.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $3.2 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease of $1.7 million was primarily related to amortization of intangible assets in 2021 that have now been fully amortized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by operations, and the available capacity under its secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which provides for a total commitment of up to $7.0 million, of which $0.5 million is available for letters of credit. The Company's primary needs for liquidity relate to working capital requirements for operations. As of June 30, 2022, there were no borrowings under the revolving Credit Facility and there were no instances of noncompliance with covenants. In connection with the transactions discussed in Note 12, the Credit Facility was terminated on August 11, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
During our normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include: indemnities to our customers pursuant to contracts for the Company’s products and services, including indemnities with respect to intellectual property, confidentiality and data privacy; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease; indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on negligence or willful misconduct; indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts; and indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. We may also issue a guarantee in the form of a standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees may not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Guidance
See Note 2 of our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our recent accounting guidance.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates to ensure that they appropriately reflect changes in our business or new information as it becomes available. See Note 1 of our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report for information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information 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. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Management’s responsibility for financial statements
Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this Report. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial statements fairly represent the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods and as of the dates stated therein.
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which is composed solely of independent directors, meets regularly with our independent registered public accounting firm, SingerLewak LLP, and representatives of management to review accounting, financial reporting, internal control, and audit matters, as well as the nature and extent of the audit effort. The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors. The independent auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
21
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management does not believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of these proceedings, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information included in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, and the factors identified at the beginning of Part I, Item 2 of this Report, under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. The risks described in the Annual Report are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021, other than as described below.
Risks Related to Our Convertible Notes
The terms of our notes, and our debt repayment obligations thereunder, may restrict our ability to obtain additional financing, and adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows from operations in the future.
Our indebtedness under the notes, and certain restrictions included within the terms of the notes, may restrict, and otherwise impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and strategic transactions. Further, a portion of our cash flows from operations may have to be dedicated to repaying the principal and interest of the notes during 2023. Our ability to meet our debt obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our future operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to repay our debt, including the notes. If we fail to make a payment on our debt, we could be in default on such debt. If we are at any time unable to pay our indebtedness under the notes in cash when due, we may be required to issue additional shares of common stock on unfavorable terms.
Conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.
The conversion of some or all of the notes or exercise of some or all of the warrants issued along with the notes will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the notes into, or exercise of warrants for, shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.
We may require additional financing to sustain or grow our operations and such additional capital may not be available to us, or only available to us on unfavorable terms.
To the extent that revenues generated by our ongoing operations are insufficient to fund future requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings or curtail our growth. The notes contain limitations on our ability to raise money through equity offerings and to incur additional indebtedness. We cannot be sure that we will be able to raise equity or debt financing on terms favorable to us and our stockholders in the amounts that we require, or at all. Our inability in the future to obtain additional equity or debt capital on acceptable terms, or at all, could adversely impact our ability to execute our business strategy, which could adversely affect our growth prospects and future stockholder returns.
Our obligations to the holders of our notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets, and if we default on those obligations, the note holders could foreclose on our assets.
Our obligations under the notes and the transaction documents relating to those notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. As a result, if we default under our obligations under the
22
notes or the transaction documents, the holders of the notes, acting through their appointed agent, could foreclose on their security interests and liquidate some or all of these assets, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to curtail or cease operations.
The holders of our notes have certain additional rights upon an event of default under the notes which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to curtail or cease our operations.
Under our notes, the holders have various rights upon an event of default. Such rights include (i) an increase in the interest rate; (ii) the holders having the right to demand redemption of all or a portion of the notes and (iii) the holders have the right to convert the note into our common stock at a discount over then current market price of our common stock. At any time after certain notice requirements for an event of default are triggered, a holder of the notes may require us to redeem all or any portion of the note by delivering written notice. Each portion of the note subject to redemption would be redeemed by us in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the conversion amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the redemption premium (equal to 125%) and (ii) the product of (X) the conversion rate with respect to the conversion amount in effect at such time as the holder delivers an event of default redemption notice multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the redemption premium (equal to 125%) multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding the event of default and ending on the date we make the entire payment required to be made under the notes. We may not have sufficient funds to settle the redemption price and, as described above, this could trigger rights under the security interest granted to the holders and result in the foreclosure of their security interests and liquidation of some or all of our assets.
