Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Minim, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, MME Sub 1 LLC, Cadence Connectivity, Inc., MTRLC LLC, and Minim Asia Private Limited, are herein collectively referred to as “Minim” or the “Company”. The Company delivers intelligent networking products that reliably and securely connect homes and offices around the world. We were the exclusive global license holder to the Motorola brand for home networking hardware until 2023. The Company designs and manufactures products including cable modems, cable modem/routers, mobile broadband modems, wireless routers, Multimedia over Coax (“MoCA”) adapters and mesh home networking devices. Our AI-driven cloud software platform and applications make network management and security simple for home and business users, as well as the service providers that assist them— leading to higher customer satisfaction and decreased support burden.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The results of the Company’s operations can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year or any future periods.

On April 17, 2023, the Company effected a 25:1 reverse stock split for each share of common stock issued and outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split.

Liquidity

The Company’s operations have historically been financed through the issuance of common stock and borrowings. Since inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.3 3,258,955 million, and used cash from operations of $2.5 2,482,265 million, which was offset by $2.8 2,800,000 million in cash provided from financing activities. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $95.7 95,727,733 million and cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 1,027,057 million. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its sales and adjust its cost structure accordingly. Management of the Company believes it will not have sufficient resources to continue as a going concern through at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

Merger Agreement with e2 Companies, LLC

On March 12, 2024, the “Company”, and its wholly owned subsidiary, MME Sub 1 LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), formed in March 2024, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with e2Companies LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“e2Companies”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into e2Companies, with e2Companies remaining as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), holders of the outstanding common units of e2Companies (“e2 Shares”) will receive such number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Shares”) representing 97% of the issued and outstanding Company Shares (on a fully-diluted basis).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to appoint, upon the Effective Time, two individuals selected by the Company to the Company’s board of directors.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties, closing deliveries and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction of this nature. The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the Company Shares to be issued in the Merger (“Merger Consideration”) being approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), (ii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 registering the Merger Consideration; (iii) any waiting period applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, will have expired or been terminated; and (iv) the consent or approval of the Company’s stockholders, as applicable, of (a) the Merger, (b) the issuance of the Merger Consideration, and (c) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to among other things, change the Company’s name to e2Companies, Inc. following the Merger (the “Stockholder Approvals”).

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing including by the mutual consent of the Company and e2Companies if the closing has not occurred by June 15, 2024. The Merger Agreement is subject to the right of either party to obtain a 30 day extension, and including, but not limited to, Stockholder Approvals having not been obtained, Company Shares being delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), upon uncured breaches of representations, warranties and covenants or if a court of competent jurisdiction permanently restrains the Merger from occurring.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s significant accounting policies did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There have been no other new accounting pronouncements that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(3) REVENUE AND OTHER CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware products bundled with Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) offerings are recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. The transaction price allocated to the SaaS offering is recognized ratably beginning when the customer is expected to activate their account and over a three-year period that the Company has estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

The remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period. Unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied performance obligations consist of contract liabilities, in-transit orders with destination terms, and non-cancellable backlog. Non-cancellable backlog includes goods for which customer purchase orders have been accepted, that are scheduled or in the process of being scheduled for shipment, and that are not yet invoiced.

Contract costs

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has determined that certain sales commissions meet the requirements to be capitalized, and the Company amortizes these costs on a consistent basis with the pattern of transfer of the goods and services in the contract. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were immaterial during the periods presented and are included in other current and long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. These costs include sales commissions on SaaS contracts with a contract period of one year or less as sales commissions on contract renewals are commensurate with those paid on the initial contract.

Contract Balances

The Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. The Company did not have contract liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(5) BANK CREDIT LINES AND GOVERNMENT LOANS

Bank Credit Line

On March 12, 2021, the Company terminated its Financing Agreement and entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Loan Agreement”). On November 1, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment to the SVB Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The SVB Loan Agreement, as amended, provides for a revolving facility up to a principal amount of $25.0 million. The borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 85.0 percent of eligible customer receivables, plus (b) the least of (i) 60 percent of the value of eligible inventory (valued at cost), (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of inventory, and (iii) $6.2 million in each, as determined by SVB from the Company’s most recent borrowing base statement; provided that SVB has the right to decrease the foregoing percentages in its good faith business judgment to mitigate the impact of events, conditions, contingencies, or risks which may adversely affect the collateral or its value.

The SVB Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets but excludes the Company’s intellectual property. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) at all times when a streamline period is in effect, the greater of (a) one-half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate or (b) three and three-quarters of one percent (3.75%) and (ii) at all times when a streamline period is not effect, the greater of (a) one percent (1.0%) above the Prime Rate and (b) four and one-quarter of one percent (4.25%).

On December 12, 2022, the Company entered into its second Amendment to the SVB Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment (i) reduced the aggregate amount available under the revolving credit line from $25 million to $10 million, (ii) extends maturity to January 15, 2024, and (iii) provides a waiver for an existing default under the SVB Loan Agreement by virtue of the Company having entered into a Bridge Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 23, 2022 by and among Borrower and Slingshot Capital, LLC, under which Borrower incurred certain Indebtedness and granted a Lien to Slingshot Capital.

The Company incurred $143 thousand in origination costs in connection with entering into the SVB Loan Agreement. These origination costs were recorded as a debt discount and are being expensed over the remaining term of the facility. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $0 thousand and $15 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On October 18, 2023, the Company paid in full the outstanding balance and immediately terminated the SVB Loan Agreement. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $0 outstanding under the SVB Loan Agreement.

Covenants

The SVB Loan Agreement included a minimum interest expense of $20 thousand per month. The First Amendment required the Company to maintain certain levels of minimum adjusted EBITDA, which were tested on the last day of each calendar quarter and measured for the trailing 3-month period ending on the last day of each quarter. The Second Amendment removed the minimum EBITDA covenants.

In addition, pursuant to the SVB Loan Agreement, the Company cannot pay any dividends without the prior written consent of SVB.

Bridge Loan

On November 30, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and Slingshot Capital, LLC (“Slingshot Capital”) entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Slingshot Capital agreed to make available a bridge loan in the principal amount up of up to $1,500,000. In conjunction with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company executed a bridge term note (the “Bridge Term Note”) in favor of Slingshot Capital. The Company has drawn down $1,000,000 under the Bridge Loan Agreement. Subject to Slingshot Capital’s sole discretion, the other $500,000 may be drawn by the Company.

Principal amounts borrowed under the Bridge Loan Agreement bear interest of 8.00% per annum for the period from the Effective Date until February 28, 2023. Unpaid principal after February 28, 2023 bear an interest of 14.00% per annum until paid in full. In the event of default, all outstanding principal and interest shall bear interest at an annual rate of 18%.

In connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company, Slingshot Capital, and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Senior Lender”) executed a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) on November 30, 2022. The Loan Agreement is subordinated to the outstanding indebtedness and obligations under the Company’s senior credit facility. Subject to the Senior Lender’s written consent, the Company shall grant Slingshot Capital a second-priority security interest in all of the Company’s collateral, which shall be subordinated to any and all security interests granted to the Senior Lender and at all times shall be limited to the same collateral granted to the Senior Lender under the senior credit facility.

Principal and interest are not due and payable until the maturity date, which is January 15, 2024, unless the Company’s senior credit facility with the Senior Lender is paid in full in cash on an earlier date.

The Company reimbursed Slingshot Capital $20,000 for its reasonable and documented expenses and fees related to the negotiations, documentation, and execution of the Bridge Loan Agreement, Subordination Agreement, and Bridge Term Note.

On December 6, 2023, the Company and Slingshot Capital entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (“Conversion Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 734,343 shares of the Company’s common stock (based on $1.533 per share) (the “Shares”) in exchange for the cancellation of a total principal amount of $1,000,000 (“Principal Amount”) outstanding under the Bridge Loan Agreement and Bridge Term Note (collectively, the “Loan Agreements”), with Slingshot Capital, plus $125,778 in accrued and unpaid interest on such Principal Amount as of December 6, 2023. The price per share used in the exchanged was determined by the weighted average price per share and trade volume on September 13, 2023 and November 28, 2023.

Slingshot Capital is owned by the Company’s former Chairperson of the Board and a former Board of Director, Jeremy Hitchcock and Elizabeth Hitchcock, respectively.

(6) Leases

The Company has entered into agreements to lease certain office space as well as its former warehouses and distribution centers under operating leases. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet for all leases, except leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Commitments

The Company was a party to a license agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC pursuant to which the Company has an exclusive license to use certain trademarks owned by Motorola Trademark Holdings, LLC for the manufacture, sale and marketing of consumer cable modem products, consumer routers, WiFi range extenders, MoCa adapters, cellular sensors, home powerline network adapters, and access points worldwide through a wide range of authorized sales channels. The license agreement had a term ending December 31, 2025 prior to its cancellation in 2023.

In connection with the license agreement, the Company had committed to reserve a certain percentage of wholesale prices for use in advertising, merchandising and promotion of the related products. Additionally, the Company was required to make quarterly royalty payments equal to a certain percentage of the preceding quarter’s net sales with minimum annual royalty payments. Following the Company’s agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC on January 22, 2024, the Company’s quarterly royalty payments, in addition to current and future obligations, were satisfied in exchange for certain assets of the Company.

Royalty expense under the License Agreement amounted to $0 and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is reported in selling and marketing expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On January 22, 2024, the Company, entered into a Letter Agreement re Product Purchase (the “Letter Agreement”) and a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement,” and the Letter Agreement, the “Agreements”) with Motorola Mobility, LLC (“Motorola”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company (A) initially transferred a portion of its inventory to Motorola and (B) agreed to transfer the reminder of such inventory upon receipt of certain funding in order to satisfy liabilities owed to Motorola, while agreeing to continue to provide certain customer and technical support. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed (i) to pay Motorola a settlement amount of $1,167,071 and (ii) to transfer additional funds as collected from the Company’s customers in an amount up to $263,752. The Company believes that the Agreements, together with arrangements it has finalized with other major vendors, will allow the Company to streamline its operations while reducing its current liabilities.

(b) Vendor Obligation Releases

In its efforts to manage its liquidity and cash-flow position, the Company negotiated and executed liability release agreements with certain vendors in Q4 2023 who comprised $5.0 million of outstanding accounts payable as of December 31, 2023. In aggregate, the executed release agreements resulted in a reduction of outstanding accounts payable obligations by $3.6 million from $5.0 million to $1.4 million. The executed release agreements became effective and are contingent upon payment of the $1.4 million negotiated amounts received during the period of Q1 2024. In addition, the Company agreed to pay certain vendors an additional $0.4 million contingent upon successful collection of customer receivables. As of March 31, 2024, the contingent amount has not been paid and is accounted in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(c) Contingencies

The Company is party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates such lawsuits and proceedings on a case-by-case basis, and its policy is to vigorously contest any such claims which it believes are without merit.

The Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional information becomes available. If both criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses - that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of the loss cannot be made. At March 31, 2023, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, in management’s opinion, are currently expected to individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition taken as a whole. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with their business. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to the legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent, and that the outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

(8) SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER AND DEPENDENCY ON KEY SUPPLIERS

Relatively few companies account for a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, two companies, including a marketplace facilitator, accounted for 10% or greater individually and 100% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. At March 31, 2024, one company with an accounts receivable balance of 10% or greater individually accounted for 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, two companies, including a marketplace facilitator, accounted for 10% or greater individually and 88% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. At March 31, 2023, two companies with an accounts receivable balance of 10% or greater individually accounted for a combined 84% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

The Company’s customers generally do not enter into long-term agreements obligating them to purchase products. The Company may not continue to receive significant revenues from any of these or from other large customers. A reduction or delay in orders from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. Because of the Company’s significant customer concentration, its net sales and operating income could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political or economic conditions, or the loss, reduction of business, or less favorable terms for any of the Company’s significant customers. The Company participates in the PC peripherals industry, which is characterized by aggressive pricing practices, continually changing customer demand patterns and rapid technological developments. The Company’s operating results could be adversely affected should the Company be unable to successfully anticipate customer demand accurately; manage its product transitions, inventory levels and manufacturing process efficiently; distribute its products quickly in response to customer demand; differentiate its products from those of its competitors or compete successfully in the markets for its new products.

The Company depends on many third-party suppliers for key components contained in its product offerings. For some of these components, the Company may only use a single source supplier, in part due to the lack of alternative sources of supply. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not have any concentration of suppliers. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had one supplier that provided 90% of the Company’s purchased inventory.

(9) INCOME TAXES

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded no income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred or for the research and development tax credits generated due to the uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items.

We have evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits. We considered the history of cumulative net losses, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and we have concluded that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. As a result, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $79.1 million and $76.9 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income. They are due to expire in varying amounts from 2025 to 2042. Federal net operating losses occurring after December 31, 2018, of approximated $38.5 million may be carried forward indefinitely. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $47.9 million and $44.9 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income. They are due to expire in varying amounts from 2033 through 2041. We recorded minimum state income taxes and taxes related to our operations in Mexico. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense (benefit) was $(11) 10,662 thousand and $0 thousand, respectively.

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases office space located at 848 Elm Street, Manchester, NH. The landlord is an affiliate entity owned by Mr. Hitchcock. The two-year facility lease agreement was effective from August 1, 2019, to July 31, 2021 and was extended to July 31, 2022. On July 18, 2022, the lease agreement was amended to a month-to-month lease arrangement and may be terminated by either party with a 60-day notice. The facility lease agreement provides for 2,656 square feet. For the three-months period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the rent expense was $14 thousand and $9 thousand, respectively.

On November 30, 2022, the Company and Slingshot Capital, LLC (“Slingshot Capital”) entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Slingshot Capital agreed to make available a bridge loan in the principal amount up of up to $1,500,000. The Company has drawn down $1,000,000 under the Bridge Loan Agreement. Subject to Slingshot Capital’s sole discretion, the other $500,000 may be drawn by the Company.

Slingshot Capital is owned by the Company’s former Chairperson of the Board and a former Board Member, Jeremy Hitchcock and Elizabeth Hitchcock, respectively.

(11) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are as follows:

Schedule of net income (loss) per share
	Three Months Ended March 31,

Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(1.18	)	$	(2.16	)

Diluted loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 excludes the effects of 5,230,769 and 49,402 common share equivalents, respectively, since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The common share equivalents consist of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding preferred stock, warrants, restricted stock units, and stock options.

(12) EQUITY

Preferred Stock and Warrants

On January 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with David Lazar (“Lazar”), a member of our Board of Directors, whereby, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company sold and Lazar (or to any transferee of Lazar’s which acquires the Securities Purchase Rights, as defined below, hereinafter a “Lazar Transferee”) purchased two million 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $1.40, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,800,000, subject to the conditions described below, pursuant to the exemptions afforded by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation S thereunder. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to designate 2,000,000 of the Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for the sale to Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, into 1.4 shares of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and vote on an “as-if-converted” basis and shall have full ratchet protection in any subsequent offerings. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall also issue Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee) warrants to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment therein (the “Warrants”, and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Purchased Securities”).

The Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants for liability or equity classification in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because neither the Series A Preferred Stock nor the Warrants met the definition of liability instruments.

The Warrants are classified as component of permanent equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holder to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, the Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined the fair value of the Warrants to purchase 2,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.7 million. The key inputs to the valuation model included a weighted average volatility of 162.0% and an expected term of 3.0 years.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Company were allocated based on the relative fair value of the Warrants as compared to the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The fair value of the Warrants incorporates assumptions regarding our common stock price, dividend yield, stock price volatility, as well as assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate. Using this model, the Warrants was valued at $1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in additional paid in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined based on assumptions that incorporated our common stock price and dividend rate. The Company valued the Series A Preferred Stock at $4.5 million. Based on the fair value model to allocate the Series A Preferred Stock proceeds, the Series A Preferred Stock was valued at $1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in Series A Preferred Stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On February 26, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, who voted and approved (i) the issuance of shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants to be issued at Closing of the Purchase Agreement, which conversions or exercise would result in a “change of control” of the Company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq and (ii) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the increase in authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from March 31, 2024, through the date of this filing and has determined that there are no such events, other than those noted above, requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Overview

We historically delivered comprehensive WiFi as a Service platform to make everyone’s connected home safe and supportive for life and work.

Generally, our gross margin for a given product depends on a number of factors, including the type of customer to whom we were selling. The gross margin for products sold to retailers tended to be higher than for some of our other customers; but the sales, support, returns, and overhead costs associated with products sold to retailers also tended to be higher.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance on March 31, 2024 was $1.0 million compared to $0.7 million on December 31, 2023. On March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings and working capital of negative $0.3 million.

The Company’s ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity depends in part on our ability to sell inventory on hand and collect related receivables. The Company is evaluating options related to its liquidity. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its sales and adjust its cost structure accordingly.

The Company continues to experience losses, which in part is due to declining revenues. In the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated net sales of $0.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively.

Our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024, provides additional information about our business and operations.

Recent Accounting Standards

See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Report on 10-Q, for a full description of recent accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the financial condition and results of operations, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial statements may be affected. Our management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are revenue recognition, product returns, inventory valuation and costs of goods sold, warrants, valuation of deferred tax assets are described under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain financial data derived from our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, presented in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales, with dollars and percentage change period over period:

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the three months ended March 31, 2023

The following table sets forth our revenues by product and the changes in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023		$ Change			% Change
	(In thousands, except percentage data)
Cable modems & gateways	$	639	$	10,574	$	(9,935	)		(94.0	)%
Other networking products		1		92		(91	)		(98.9	)
SaaS		-		86		(86	)		(100	)
Total	$	640	$	10,752	$	(10,112	)		(94.0	)%

The majority of the Company’s revenues by geographic area are earned in North America for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Net Sales

Our total net sales decreased year-over-year by $10.1 million or 94%. The decrease in net sales is directly attributable to decreased sales of Motorola branded cable modems and gateways. In both 2024 and 2023, we primarily generated our sales by selling cable modems and gateways. Sales related to SaaS offerings were $0 thousand and $86 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in other category of $91 thousand in 2024 compared to 2023 is primarily due to a reduction in DSL and MoCA products due to a refocus on new product introductions. Generally, our lower sales outside North America reflect the fact that cable modems are sold successfully through retailers in the U.S. but not in most countries outside the U.S., due primarily to variations in government regulations.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the following: the cost of finished products from our third-party manufacturers; overhead costs, including purchasing, product planning, inventory control, warehousing and distribution logistics; third-party software licensing fees; inbound freight; import duties/tariffs; warranty costs associated with returned goods; write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory; amortization of certain acquired intangibles and software development costs; and costs attributable to the provision of service offerings.

The decrease in gross profit was attributable to less sales, largely resulting from the Motorola license termination. Our gross margin can be affected by a number of factors, including fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, sales returns, changes in average selling prices, end-user customer rebates and other channel sales incentives, changes in our cost of goods sold due to fluctuations and increases in prices paid for components, overhead costs, inbound freight and duty/tariffs, conversion costs, and charges for excess or obsolete inventory.

The following table presents net sales and gross margin, for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023			$ Change			% Change
Net sales	$	640		$	10,752		$	(10,112	)		(94.0	)%
Gross margin		32.4	%		24.3	%

Gross profit decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended in the prior fiscal year period, primarily due to insufficient sales levels necessary to cover fixed costs and certain variable costs.

For the remainder of fiscal 2024, we expect gross margin to be subject to similar variabilities experienced in the first quarter of 2024. Forecasting gross margin percentages is difficult, and there are several risks related to our ability to maintain or improve our current gross margin levels. Our cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, can vary significantly based upon factors such as: uncertainties surrounding revenue volumes, including future pricing and/or potential discounts as a result of the economy, competition, the timing of sales, and related production level variances; import customs duties and imposed tariffs; changes in technology; changes in product mix; expenses associated with writing off excessive or obsolete inventory; fluctuations in freight costs; manufacturing and purchase price variances; and changes in prices on commodity components.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising, trade shows, corporate communications and other marketing expenses, product marketing expenses, outbound freight costs, amortization of certain intangibles, personnel expenses for sales and marketing staff, technical support expenses, and facility allocations. The following table presents sales and marketing expenses, for the periods indicated:

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2024		2023		Change			% Change
Selling and marketing	$	21	$	3,724	$	(3,703	)		(99.4	)%

Selling and marketing expenses decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to reductions in personnel expenses by $0.6 million, marketing campaigns by $1.4 million, Motorola royalty fees of $1.7 million, and other sales support costs of $0.3 million.

For the remainder of the fiscal year 2024, we expect our selling and marketing expenses to be comparable to fiscal Q1 2024. Expenses may fluctuate depending on sales levels achieved as certain expenses, such as commissions, and are determined based upon the net sales achieved. Forecasting both selling and marketing expenses is highly dependent on expected net sales levels and could vary significantly depending on actual net sales achieved in any given quarter. Marketing expenses may also fluctuate depending upon the timing, extent and nature of marketing programs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related expenses for executives, finance and accounting, human resources, information technology, professional fees, including legal costs associated with defending claims against us, allowance for doubtful accounts, facility allocations, and other general corporate expenses. The following table presents general and administrative expenses, for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		$ Change			% Change
General and administrative	$	1,019	$	1,326	$	(307	)		(23.2	)%

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million primarily due to a decrease in personnel expenses of $0.5 million, software subscriptions of $0.1 million, professional fees of $0.1 million, and other administrative costs of $0.1 million, offset by an increase in board of director fees of $0.5 million.

Future general and administrative expense increases or decreases in absolute dollars are difficult to predict due to the lack of visibility of certain costs, including legal costs associated with defending claims against us, and other factors.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, payments to suppliers for design services, safety and regulatory testing, product certification expenditures to qualify our products for sale into specific markets, prototypes, IT, and other consulting fees. Research and development expenses are recognized as they are incurred. Our research and development organization is focused on enhancing our ability to introduce innovative and easy-to-use products and services. The following table presents research and development expenses, for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		$ Change			% Change
Research and development	$	72	$	1,484	$	(1,412	)		(95.1	)%

The decrease of $1.4 million was primarily due to decreases in personnel expenses of $1.0 million, contract labor of $0.1 million, software subscriptions of $0.1 million, and certification and other costs of $0.2 million. partially offset by an increase in certification costs of $95 thousand.

For the remainder of the fiscal year 2024, we expect research and development expenses to be comparable to fiscal Q1 2024. Research and development expenses may fluctuate depending on the timing and number of development activities and could vary significantly as a percentage of net sales, depending on actual net sales achieved in any given year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million as compared to $0.7 million on December 31, 2023. On March 31, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding and working capital of negative $0.3 million. We have funded our operations and financing activities primarily through sale of preferred stock.

Our historical cash outflows have primarily been associated with: (1) cash used for operating activities such as the purchase and growth of inventory, expansion of our sales and marketing and research and development infrastructure and other working capital needs; (2) expenditures related to increasing our manufacturing capacity and improving our manufacturing efficiency; (3) capital expenditures related to the acquisition of equipment; (4) cash used to repay our debt obligations and related interest expense; and (5) cash used for acquisitions. Fluctuations in our working capital due to timing differences of our cash receipts and cash disbursements also impact our cash inflows and outflows.

Our consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2024, were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we will require additional liquidity to continue operations beyond the next 12 months.

Our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment.

Cash Flows

The following table presents our cash flows for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(2,482	)	$	1,346
Cash used in investing activities		-			(129	)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities		2,800			(945	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	318		$	272

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash used from operating activities of $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflected our net loss of $3.3 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses, consisting primarily of $426 thousand of stock-based compensation expense, $104 thousand in depreciation and amortization expense, and $2.4 million in vendor forgiveness, net of asset transfers. Uses of cash included a decrease in accounts payable of $3.2 million and accrued expenses of $66 thousand. Sources of cash included primarily a decrease of accounts receivable of $709 thousand, and inventories of $404 thousand.

Cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, reflected our net loss of $4.0 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses, consisting primarily of $124 thousand of stock-based compensation expense, $229 thousand in depreciation and amortization expense, and $72 thousand in accounts receivable reserve allowance. Uses of cash included an increase in accounts receivable of $0.5 million and prepaid expenses of $81 thousand. Sources of cash included primarily a decrease of inventories of $2.6 million, increase in accounts payable of $2.5 million, increase in accrued expenses of $0.3 million, and increase in deferred revenue of $0.1 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had no cash flows generated or used by investing activities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $6 thousand was used to purchase equipment and $122 thousand was used for certification costs.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of proceeds from issuance of preferred stock of $2.8 million.

Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of repayment of $945 thousand on the borrowings under our SVB line-of-credit.

Future Liquidity Needs

Our primary short-term needs for capital, which are subject to change, include expenditures related to:

	●	the acquisition of equipment and other fixed assets for use in our current and future manufacturing and research and development facilities;

	●	upgrades to our information technology infrastructure to enhance our capabilities and improve overall productivity;

	●	support of our commercialization efforts related to our current and future products, including expansion of our direct sales force and field support resources;

	●	the continued advancement of research and development activities.

Our capital expenditures are largely discretionary and within our control. We expect that our product sales and the resulting operating loss, as well as the status of each of our product development programs, will significantly impact our cash management decisions.

At March 31, 2024, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and operations during the next twelve months. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures and increase revenues. Based on these factors, management determined that there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its sales and adjust accordingly.

Our future liquidity and capital requirements will be influenced by numerous factors, including the extent and duration of any future operating losses, the level and timing of future sales and expenditures, the results and scope of ongoing research and product development programs, working capital required to support our sales growth, funds required to service our debt, the receipt of and time required to obtain regulatory clearances and approvals, our sales and marketing programs, our need for infrastructure to support our sales growth, the continuing acceptance of our products in the marketplace, competing technologies and changes in the market and regulatory environment.

Our ability to fund our longer-term cash needs is subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control—See “Risk Factors—We may require significant additional capital to pursue our growth strategy, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from executing our growth strategy.” Should we require additional funding, such as additional capital investments, we may need to raise the required additional funds through bank borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. We cannot guarantee that such funding will be available in needed quantities or on terms favorable to us, if at all.

At March 31, 2024, we have Federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $79.1 million and $47.9 million, respectively, available to reduce future taxable income. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of deferred income tax assets as management has concluded that it is more-likely than-not that the benefits from such assets will not realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. As a result, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, except as otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q, there were no material changes to our capital commitments and contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2024. See Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
