NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared under the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and following Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X instructions. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Read these financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2022, the results of its operations, and cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021. Such adjustments are of a routine recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, may not indicate results for an entire year, any other interim period, or any future year period.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or (“U.S. GAAP”) as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions upon the consolidation of our subsidiaries.
Segment Reporting
The Company identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the operating decision-makers, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s decision-making group is the senior executive management team. The Company and the decision-making group view the Company’s operations and manage its business as one operating segment with different product offerings. All long-lived assets of the Company reside in the U.S., the U.K., and the Netherlands.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, the useful lives of right-of-use assets, the useful lives of intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of warranty reserves, contingent consideration liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
The future impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and their residual effects including economic uncertainty, an inflationary environment, disruptions within the global supply chain, and labor markets within worldwide industries remain uncertain. These circumstances have created prevalent uncertainty and risk. Although capital markets and economies worldwide improved during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, from the initial negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains uncertainty around the strength and timing of global economic recoveries, which could cause a local or global economic recession considering the worldwide impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as well. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we do not presently foresee risks that may impact our company’s liquidity, operating results, and financial reporting, we monitor the circumstances mentioned above to assess direct material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Therefore, accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to these impacts. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods and are recorded at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable completion, disposal, and transportation costs. The Company evaluates inventory balances and either write down obsolete inventory or records a reserve for slow-moving or excess inventory based on net realizable value analysis.
Revenue Recognition
We account for the Company’s operating results under ASC Topic 606, adopted on January 1, 2019. It is a comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires recognition when the Company transfers control of the promised goods or services to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive. The application of ASC Topic 606 requires us to use more judgment and make more estimates than under previously issued guidance.
The Company generates all its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
3. Determination of the transaction price.
4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5. Recognition of revenue, when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in our contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each. To determine the performance obligations, the Company considers all the products and services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation is not subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and services. The value-added sales taxes and other charges we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from income.
Remaining Performance Obligations:
The remaining performance obligations, or backlog, represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining obligations that the Company has not performed under its customer contracts. The Company has elected to use the optional exemption in ASC 606-10-50-14, which exempts an entity from such disclosures if a performance obligation is part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Intangible Assets
Patents and licenses:
Patents and licenses, measured initially at purchase cost, are included in intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 18.5 to 20 years.
Other intangible assets:
The Company’s remaining intangible assets include the trade names, technology, and customer lists acquired in its acquisition of Integrated Microwave Technologies (“IMT”), Vislink, and Mobile Viewpoint Corporate B.V. (“MVP”). A third-party appraiser determined the value of these acquired assets for these business combinations. Absent an indication of fair value from a potential buyer or similar specific transactions, we have determined that using the methods employed provided a reasonable estimate in reporting the values assigned. The Company amortizes intangible asset costs over their useful lives of 3 to 15 years with its net book value reported on the balance sheet.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company recognizes lease expense for lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company includes operating leases as “Right of use assets, operating leases” (“ROU”) in the consolidated balance sheets. For lease liabilities, operating lease liabilities are included in “Operating lease obligations, current” and “Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion” in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes operating lease ROU assets and liabilities on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. There is no separation of lease and non-lease components for all our real estate contracts.
The ROU assets and related lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842 are calculated based on the present value of the lease payments using (1) the rate implicit in the lease or (2) the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), defined as the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a comparable economic environment. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rates based on an analysis of prior collateralized borrowings over similar terms of the lease payments at the commencement date to estimate the IBR under ASC 842. There were no capital leases, which are now titled “finance leases” under ASC 842, in the Company’s lease portfolio as of March 31, 2022.
The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes under ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and the fair value of common stock issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the issuance date.
The expansion of Topic 718 fell under ASU 2018-07 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The measurement date for equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards is no longer at the earlier date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. Instead, the grant date is now considered the measurement date. Under today’s guidance, the measurement of nonemployee share-based payment awards with performance conditions is at the lowest aggregate fair value, often resulting in a zero value. The new ASU aligns the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment awards with performance conditions with accounting for employee share-based payment awards under Topic 718 by requiring entities to consider the probability of satisfying performance conditions. Current guidance requires entities to use the contractual term to measure the nonemployee share-based payment awards. The new ASU allows entities to make an award-by-award election to use the expected duration (consistent with employee share-based payment awards) or the contractual term for nonemployee awards.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
Stock-Option Awards — Time-based and performance-based:
Under ASC Topic 718, the compensation cost is measured based on an award’s fair value at the grant’s date for the time vested option award using the Black Scholes-Merton formula as a valuation technique. The Company used the U.S. Treasury note’s rate over the expected option term for the risk-free rate. Employees’ expected term represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding using the simplified method. The Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term. For nonemployee options, the expected term is the entire term of the option. Expected volatility is based on the average weekly share price changes over the shorter expected term or the period from the Nasdaq Capital Markets Exchange placement to the grant’s date. The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical information. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues over the options’ equivalent lives.
The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock, and no assumption of dividend payment(s) is made in the model. For employee equity-classified awards, compensation cost is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The employee’s requisite service period begins at the service inception date and ends when the requisite service has been provided.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSUs”) — Time Based:
Under ASC 718, the exercise price for RSUs is determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. For an award with graded vesting subject only to a service condition (e.g., time-based vesting), ASC 718-10-35-8 provides an accounting policy choice between graded vesting attribution or straight-line attribution. The Company elects the graded vesting method, recognizing compensation expense for only the portion of awards expected to vest. Forfeitures of time-based units and awards are recognized as they occur. Stock-based compensation costs are calculated using the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate time-based restricted stock units’ fair value.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSUs”) — Performance-Based:
The accruals of compensation cost for an award with a performance condition are related to that performance condition’s probable outcome. Under ASC 718, a “performance condition” is the achievement of a specified target that is defined by referring to the employer’s operations or activities, such as an option that vests if the employer’s growth rate increases by a certain amount or there are the attainment of regulatory approval for a product. There is an accrual of compensation cost upon the likely achievement of the performance condition, and there is no accrual if the accomplishment of the performance condition is not probable. The exercise price for RSUs is determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Stock-based compensation costs are calculated using the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate performance-based restricted stock units’ fair value.
The Company reports loss per share under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. The basic loss per share calculation divides the net loss allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without considering common stock equivalents. The diluted loss per share calculation is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants, outstanding for the period as determined using the treasury stock method. For the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders is the same for periods with a net loss.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP requires disclosing financial instruments’ fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments recognized or unrecognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.
In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses various methods and assumptions based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For specific instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, the Company estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of these instruments’ short maturities. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs consist of items that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no fair valued assets or liabilities classified under Level 1 or Level 2.
● | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, | |
● | Level 2 – Observable prices based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data, | |
● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available; the fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs (see Note 7). |
Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Gain (Loss)
We have two foreign subsidiaries, one in the United Kingdom and the other in the Netherlands, and their functional currencies are British Pounds and Euros, respectively. We record gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered a long-term investment accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income. The translation from the respective foreign currency to United States Dollars (“US Dollars”) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using an average exchange rate during the period. We included gains or losses resulting from such translation as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our operations’ results based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and the reporting date. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has recognized foreign exchanges gains and losses and changes in accumulated comprehensive income approximately as follows:

Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that no events or transactions are required to be disclosed herein, except as disclosed.
Recently Issued Accounting Principles
Current accounting standards issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $2.9 million and cash used in operating activities of $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company had $48.6 million in working capital, $289.3 million in accumulated deficits, and $31.0 million of cash on hand as of March 31, 2022.
The enduring effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the advent of Delta and Omicron variants, plus the uncertainty of possible future variants, may subject the Company to particular challenges in its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The unpredictability of the pandemic’s scope, severity, duration, and actions implemented to alleviate its direct and indirect economic effects and containment measures provide no assurances that the pandemic will not have material adverse repercussions on the Company’s operations, liquidity, financial condition, and any residual unfavorable consequences to global economics.
The Company bases its evaluation on possibilities that may prove wrong and could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Developments may take place, including those beyond our control, that would cause us to consume our available capital more quickly, including but not limited to those relating to the markets in which we compete or wish to enter, strategic acquisitions, our market strategy, our research and development activities, regulatory matters, and technology and product innovations. Notwithstanding these risks and uncertainties, based on management’s liquidity preservation program and proactive spending reductions implemented in the fiscal year 2020, as well as previous capital injections, the Company believes it will have sufficient funds to continue its operations for at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF MOBILE VIEWPOINT CORPORATE B.V.
On August 16, 2021, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a stock purchase agreement with Triple I.T. Corporate B.V., a private company incorporated in the Netherlands, under which the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital of MVP for an aggregate purchase price of €14,824,278 (or approximately $17.5 million based on a USD to EUR exchange rate of 0.85 as of August 13, 2021) plus the assumption and payment of €717,785 of intercompany indebtedness, all paid by the Company in cash, subject to certain routine closing adjustments in respect of working capital and net indebtedness (“The Transaction”). The Transaction was closed on August 16, 2021.
The Company accounts for the acquisition under the acquisition method under ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” and we elected not to apply pushdown accounting upon the purchase of MVP. Therefore, we recognized the preliminary historical basis of MVP’s acquired assets and liabilities. We identify any excess of the consideration paid in excess of the net assets acquired in the table below. In addition, we recorded approximately $1.6 million of preliminary acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred and included in our consolidated statement of operations.
The Company received a final valuation report from our third-party appraiser regarding allocating the consideration paid in excess of the net assets acquired. Additionally, the Company received an updated list of certain assets and liabilities acquired on August 16, 2021. Under ASC 805, we recorded measurement period adjustments under the previously mentioned revisions.

As a result of the updated purchase price allocations for the MVP acquisition on August 16, 2021, specific fair value amounts previously estimated were adjusted during the measurement period. These measurement period adjustments resulted from our external valuation specialists’ updated valuation reports and appraisals and revisions to internal account classifications. The changes from the final valuation report included an increase of $1.23 million in inventory, $0.07 million in the trade name, $.028 million in proprietary technology, and $0.04 million in goodwill, offset by a reduction of $1.51 million in customer relationships. The revision in internal account classification resulted in a decrease of $0.11 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets with a reciprocal increase of $0.11 million in inventory
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Goodwill was fully impaired in the amount of $9,188,856.

NOTE 6 — LEASES
The Company’s leasing arrangements include office space, deployment sites, and storage warehouses, both domestically and internationally. The operating leases contain various terms and provisions, with six months to 3.6 years remaining. Certain individual leases contain rent escalation clauses and lease concessions that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. We recognize rent expense for these types of contracts on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term.
On March 31, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $1.31 million of ROU assets net of $1.08 million of accumulated amortization on the balance sheet. Additionally, the Company recorded relatively $1.94 million of operating lease liabilities, of which $0.45 million is current and $1.49 million is non-current, as reported on the balance sheet. The weighted-average remaining term for lease contracts was 4.0 years on March 31, 2022, with maturity dates from September 2022 to January 2027. The weighted-average discount rate was 9.3% on March 31, 2022.
Adjustments for straight-line rental expense for the respective periods was not material. The majority of costs recognized are reflected in cash used in operating activities for the respective periods. This expense consisted primarily of payments for base rent on office and warehouse leases. Amounts related to short-term lease costs, taxes, and variable service charges on leased properties were immaterial. Besides, we have the right to renew individual leases for various renewal terms, but no obligation. There were no new leases during the three months ending March 31, 2022.

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Under the guidance of ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, the Company, identified common stock warrants in various offerings containing a net cash settlement provision whereby, upon certain fundamental events, the holders could put these warrants back to the Company for cash. We identified and classified the following transactions as derivative liabilities: warrants issued with the May 2016 financing, the July 2016 financing, the August 2017 underwritten offering, and the May 2018 Financing.
The Company records derivative liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet at their fair value on the issuance date. The Company revalues the derivative liabilities on each subsequent balance sheet until exercised or expired, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. The Company uses option pricing models and assumptions based on the instruments’ characteristics on the valuation date. We use assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate to estimate fair value.
The following are the key assumptions used in connection with the valuation of the warrants exercisable into common stock on March 31, 2022, and 2021:

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (continued)
Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant in measuring the liabilities’ fair value. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, subject to the approval of the Chief Financial Officer, determines the applicable valuation policies and procedures.
Level 3 Valuation Techniques:
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities, such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company deems financial instruments that do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. Under US GAAP, the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. Such instruments do not have fixed settlement provisions and have also been recorded as derivative liabilities. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s consolidated operations statements in each subsequent period. To calculate fair value, the Company uses a binomial model style simulation, as the standard Black-Scholes model would not capture the value of certain features of the warrant derivative liabilities.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements that, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events or conditions to differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You should read this report and the documents that we reference in this report and have filed as exhibits to this report entirely and understand that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. You should also review the factors and risks we describe in reports we will file or submit from time to time with the SEC after this report’s date. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
Overview of COVID-19 Effects
The ongoing global health crisis (including resurgences) resulting from the pandemic has and continues to disrupt the normal operations of many businesses, including the temporary closure or scale-back of business operations and/or the imposition of either quarantine or remote work or meeting requirements for employees, either by government order or voluntarily. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic, and worldwide governmental authorities have taken extraordinary steps to contain and combat the impact of the coronavirus. While the outbreak recently appeared to be trending downward, notably as vaccination rates increased, new variants of COVID-19 continue emerging, including the Delta variant and the highly transmissible Omicron variant and subsequent variants, spreading throughout the United States and globally and causing significant uncertainty.
The global economy, our markets, and our business have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected by COVID-19. Mounting omicron infections have forced firms to scramble, threatening economic recovery, and many employers vow to stay open but struggle as employees fall sick or quarantined. The recovery remains vulnerable to the coronavirus’s unpredictable trajectory.
The COVID-19 pandemic in generating cases worldwide affects air and sea cargo shippers, factory shutdowns, and closures, creating global supply-chain bottlenecks, shortages of components, and surging prices of critical raw materials, squeezing manufacturers globally. We cannot foresee if worldwide governments can effectively contain the outbreak of COVID-19 on a sustained basis, nor can we predict the severity and duration of its impact. We cannot predict the effect of the Delta or Omicron variant or other new, more contagious, or lethal variants that may emerge, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta or Omicron variant or such different variants, and the related responses by governments, including reinstated government-imposed lockdowns or other measures.
The Company closely monitors the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact business partners. The Company continues to experience supply chain shortages and delays in obtaining specific inventory items. The Company’s operations team is mitigating the risk by increasing inventory levels in its purchase management of these components. The execution of this policy has improved our ability to ship products.
It is unclear how such restrictions will contribute to a general slowdown in the global economy, and it is difficult to isolate the impact of the pandemic on our business, the results of operations, financial condition, and our future strategic plans. Further, while many companies have survived the past year, and some have thrived, as the pandemic endures, we cannot predict how the global economy will respond to the return to normalcy or whether it will continue to sustain steadily.
In addition, the Company is uncertain of the total effect the pandemic will have on it in the long term since the scope and duration of the pandemic is unknown. The protocol followed in distributing effective vaccines across the world, and the extent of any resurgences of the virus or emergence of new variants of the virus, such as the Delta, Omicron, and other variants, will impact the stability of economic recovery and growth. The extent to which the operations of the Company, and the operations of its customers and supply chain, may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend mainly on these future developments. The Company may experience long-term disruptions to its operations resulting from government policy or guidance; quarantines of employees, customers, and suppliers in areas affected by the pandemic; and closures of businesses or manufacturing facilities critical to its business or supply chains. The Company is actively monitoring and will continue to monitor the pandemic and the potential impact on its operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

Ukraine/Russian Conflict
The Company does not generate revenue from the Russian or Ukrainian countries, nor do we have a physical presence, employees, or contractors in these areas. The Russian government’s invasion of Ukraine and the resultant sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments—designed to inflict severe consequences on the Russian economy—are impacting business continuity, liquidity, and asset values in Ukraine and Russia, agitating markets worldwide. It is difficult to estimate the impact of the ongoing invasion on the global economy, including increased inflation and higher energy and transportation costs; the invasion of Ukraine could adversely impact our financial results. Although we do not presently foresee risks that may affect our Company’s liquidity, operating results, and financial reporting, we monitor developments in Ukraine to assess direct material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Climate Change-Related Effects
Climate change is an important global issue that presents opportunities and challenges for our Company, partners, and communities. Climate change matters for our Company are likely to be driven by changes in physical climate parameters, regulations and/or public policy, and changes in technology and product demand.
While we seek to mitigate the risks associated with climate change, we recognize inherent climate-related risks regardless of where we conduct our businesses. Any of our locations may be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Climate-related events can potentially disrupt our business, including our customers, and cause us to experience higher attrition, losses, and additional costs to resume operations. Access to clean water and reliable energy in the communities where we operate our Company is a priority.

Results of Operations
Comparison for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were $7.2 million compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $3.2 million or 80%. The increase in revenues is predominantly due to three factors (1) an increase in live event-related sales attributable to the return of these activities to pre-pandemic levels. (2) an increase in military/government sales and (3) the recognition of additional revenue from the August 16, 2021 acquisition of MVP.
Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses
Cost of Components and Personnel
The cost of components and personnel for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $3.4 million compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $1.2 million or 55%. The increase in the cost of components and personnel is predominately twofold: (1) an increase in expenditures associated with the upsurge in production, including labor necessary to yield the growth in the sale of products during the year, and (2) additional costs of components and personnel incurred resulting from the August 16, 2021 acquisition of MVP.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses are the expenses of operating the business daily and include salary and benefit expenses, including stock-based compensation and payroll taxes, as well as the costs of trade shows, marketing programs, promotional materials, professional services, facilities, general liability insurance, travel and other operating expenses associated with being a public company.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were $4.9 million compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $1.3 million or 36%. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in $0.7 million in stock-based compensation, $0.4 million in salaries and benefits, and $0.2 million in consulting fees; and offset by a decrease in $0.2 million in legal fees, $0.2 million in rent and utilities, and $0.2 million in miscellaneous costs for operating a public company.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefit expenses, including stock-based compensation, payroll taxes, prototypes, facilities, and travel costs.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were $1.1 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $0.5 million or 83%. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in:$0.3 million in salaries and benefits and $0.2 million in miscellaneous research costs.
Amortization and Depreciation
Amortization and depreciation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were $0.5 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $0.2 million or 67%. The increase is attributable to additional amortizable intangible assets costs incurred in acquiring MVP on August 16, 2021.
Other
Gain on settlement of debt
Gain on settlement of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $-0- million, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $0.2 million or 100%. This decrease is attributable to a non-recurring debt settlement transaction in the fiscal year 2022.
Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $2.8 million, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, or an increase of $0.1 million or 4%. The reduction in net loss is primarily attributable to recognizing additional stock-based compensation, salaries, benefits, and consulting fees offset by a decrease in legal fees, rent and utilities, and miscellaneous costs of operating a public company. The acquisition of MVP on August 16, 2021, contributed to the factors mentioned earlier.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $2.9 million and cash used in operating activities of $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company had $48.6 million in working capital, $289.3 million in accumulated deficits, and $31.0 million of cash on hand as of March 31, 2022.
The enduring effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the advent of Delta and Omicron variants, plus the uncertainty of possible future variants, may subject the Company to particular challenges in its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The unpredictability of the pandemic’s scope, severity, duration, and actions implemented to alleviate its direct and indirect economic effects and containment measures provide no assurances that the pandemic will not have material adverse repercussions on the Company’s operations, liquidity, financial condition, and any residual unfavorable consequences to global economics.
The Company bases its evaluation on possibilities that may prove wrong and could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Developments may take place, including those beyond our control, that would cause us to consume our available capital more quickly, including but not limited to those relating to the markets in which we compete or wish to enter, strategic acquisitions, our market strategy, our research and development activities, regulatory matters, and technology and product innovations. Notwithstanding these risks and uncertainties, based on management’s liquidity preservation program and proactive spending reductions implemented in the fiscal year 2020, as well as previous capital injections, the Company believes it will have sufficient funds to continue its operations for at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, we believe there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The location of additional information about these critical accounting policies is in the “Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the information related to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the market risk provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that the disclosure of required information in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information requiring disclosure in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s assessment of the Company’s design and operation of disclosure controls began in the second quarter of 2021 and is ongoing. It is mindful to note that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the system’s objectives are met. Also, any control system’s design is based on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As required by Rules 13a-15f and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 1 3a -15(e) and I5d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of March 31, 2022, due to the previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. We identified the material weakness and discussed it in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness as of March 31, 2022, management, including the Certifying Officers, believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report filing fairly present, in all material respect, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the fiscal period presented in conformity with GAAP.
c) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We have continued our remediation efforts in connection with the identification of material weaknesses, as discussed above. Specifically, we have enhanced the supervisory review of our accounting procedures. As of March 31, 2022, the material weakness discussed above was not fully remediated. Accordingly, we continue to remediate our controls regarding operating efficiency.
On August 16, 2021, the Company acquired Mobile Viewpoint Corporate B.V. (“MVP”). See Note 3 of “Notes to The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” We are currently integrating MVP into our operations and internal control processes. As we complete this integration, we are analyzing, evaluating, and, where necessary, making changes in control and procedures related to the MVP business, which we expect to complete within one year after the date of acquisition. Under the SEC’s guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired company may be omitted from the scope of an evaluation in the year of purchase, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting on March 31, 2022, may exclude MVP to the extent that they are not yet integrated into our internal controls environment.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, except for the risk factor set forth below, which updates a risk factor included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.”
If we cannot comply with Nasdaq’s applicable continued listing requirements or standards, Nasdaq could delist our Common Stock.
We currently list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain such a listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and specific corporate governance requirements. According to Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2), we must maintain a closing bid price for our common stock of at least $1.00 per share. If our common stock stayed below $1.00 per share for more than 30 consecutive business days, our common stock would be at risk of delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, Nasdaq would issue a notification letter providing that the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of receiving the notification letter to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the 180th day after receiving the notification letter, the Company may then be eligible for additional 180 days if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second compliance period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s common stock, at which point the Company will have an opportunity to appeal the delist determination to a Hearings Panel.
Such a delisting would have a negative effect on the price of our common stock, impair the ability to sell or purchase our common stock when persons wish to do so, and any delisting could materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital or pursue strategic financing or other transactions on acceptable terms, or at all. Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could have different negative results, including the potential loss of institutional investor interest. There can be no assurances that we will maintain and comply with the applicable listing standards. If we cannot abide by these Nasdaq requirements, our Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
