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. The Company recommends reading these financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) April 15, 2021.
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 September 30, 2021, the results of its operations, and cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020. Such adjustments are of a routine recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, may not indicate results for an entire year, any other interim period, or any future period.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The total cost is allocated to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is determined based on assumptions that reasonable market participants would use in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Determining the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature, and it often involves using significant estimates and assumptions, including future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates, customer attrition rates, and asset lives.
Definition of a Business—The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. If not, for an acquisition to be considered a business, it would have to include an input and a substantive process that significantly contribute to creating outputs (i.e., there is a continuation of revenue before and after the transaction). A substantive process is not ancillary or minor, cannot be replaced without significant costs, effort, or delay, or is otherwise considered unique or scarce. To qualify as a business without outputs, the acquired assets would require an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience that performs a substantive process.
Asset Acquisitions—For acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses, the assets acquired are recognized based on their cost to the Company as the acquirer, and no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of assets acquired in a group is allocated to individual assets within the group based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of assets are included in the cost basis of the assets acquired.
Business Combinations—The Company accounts for acquisitions that qualify as business combinations by applying the acquisition method. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred and excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred. The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity, net of the fair value of any previously held interest in the acquired entity, is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions.
Goodwill
Goodwill
includes the excess of the Company’s fair value above the fair value accounting basis of the net assets and liabilities of the
Company as previously applied under pushdown accounting under the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805 “Business Combinations.”
The Company recorded goodwill and finite intangible assets with the MVP acquisition on August 16, 2021, totaling approximately $
Goodwill is not amortized, but per ASC 350, goodwill is tested for impairment annually and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred during the course of the year. Such indicators may include a decline in expected cash flows, unanticipated competition, or slower growth rates, among others. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors for its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company concluded that no indicators of impairment relating to goodwill existed, and an interim test was not performed in the three or nine months then ended.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. 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, 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. These estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, regulatory, and other risks associated, including the potential risk of business failure. The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have created significant uncertainty. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict as the response to the pandemic, information, and policy continues to evolve. Policymakers worldwide have responded with fiscal policy actions and vaccine mandates to support their industries and economies, but these interventions’ magnitude and overall effectiveness remain uncertain. Although capital markets and economies worldwide improved after 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. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business depends on numerous factors, including the duration, its severity, the effect on the Company’s customers, and our supply chain. The delay in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond standard payment terms, implementation of Company-wide initiatives or programs addressing financial and operational functions can unfavorably impact our customers and influence the Company’s operations and liquidity. Any economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, capital resources, access to capital, financial condition, and operating results. As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemics may materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, or operating results remains uncertain.
Inventories
The Company records inventory 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. Inventory valuation adjustments are on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue under ASC Topic 606. It is a comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires income to be recognized when the Company transfers control of the promised goods or services to the Company’s customers at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive. The application of ASC Topic 606 uses increased judgment and estimates compared to previously issued guidance.
The Company generates all its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects 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, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its 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. The Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods and services. Excluded from income are the value-added sales taxes and other charges the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities.
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.
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
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 September 30, 2021.
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. The fair value of common stock issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the issuance date. The Company uses the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of the time-based and performance-based restricted stock units.
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 for the measurement of the nonemployee share-based payment awards. The new ASU allows entities to make an award-by-award election to use either 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)
The Company reports loss per share under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which establishes computing standards and presents 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 adjusts 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. Common stock equivalents are excluded for the diluted net loss per share calculation purposes because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders is the same for a net loss period.

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income
The Company has a single foreign subsidiary incorporated in the United Kingdom. Its functional currency is the British Pound. The translation from the respective foreign currency to United States Dollars arises for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and the income statement accounts use an average exchange rate for the period presented. We record gains or losses resulting from such translation as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company includes gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions in foreign currency losses or income, except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term intercompany transactions considered a long-term investment, which is credited or charged to other comprehensive income.
The Company recognizes transaction gains and losses in its results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and the reporting date. The Company includes, as a component of general and administrative expenses, the foreign currency exchange gains and losses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income (continued)
The Company has recognized foreign exchanges gains and losses and changes in accumulated comprehensive income approximately as follows:

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 does not necessarily represent the potential amount 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 observable inputs and minimizes unobservable inputs by requiring the use of the most observable inputs 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. Below is the description of the hierarchy. As of September 30, 2021, 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). |
Subsequent Events
Management evaluation if any events or transactions occurred after the balance sheet date through the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements necessitates disclosure herein. The Company concluded that no disclosure is necessary, except as acknowledged in Note 15.
Recently Issued Accounting Principles Adopted
On May 21, 2020, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” (“SEC Rule 33-10786”), which amends the disclosure requirements applicable to acquisitions and dispositions of businesses to improve the financial information provided to investors, facilitate more timely access to capital, and reduce the complexity and costs to prepare disclosure. The SEC Rule 33-10786 amends, among other things, (i) the tests used to determine significance and expand the use of proforma financial information; (ii) revise the proforma information requirements; (iii) reduce a maximum number of years for which financial statements under Regulation S-X are required to two years; (iv) permit abbreviated financial statements for certain acquisitions; (v) modify the disclosure requirements relating to the aggregate effect of acquisitions for which financial statements are not required; and, (vi) conform the significance threshold and tests on both disposed and acquired business. The amendments are effective January 1, 2021, but early compliance is permitted. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021, with no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other recent 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.

The continuous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may experience volatility. The unpredictability of the pandemic’s scope, severity, duration, and actions implemented to alleviate its direct and indirect economic effects and containment measures provides 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 the capital injections discussed above, 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 8 — 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 classified the following transactions as derivative liabilities: warrants issued with 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 upon 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 critical assumptions used in connection with the valuation of the warrants exercisable into common stock on September 30, 2021, and 2020:

| Risk-free interest rate | % | % | ||||||
| Expected dividend yield | ||||||||
| Warrant life (years) | ||||||||
Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology 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 Level 3 financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

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.
Under ASC Topic 718, the compensation cost is measured based on an award’s fair value at the grant’s date for each option award using the Black Scholes-Merton formula as a valuation technique. 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. No stock option awards were granted during the nine months ending September 30, 2021, and 2020.

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.
Under ASC Topic 718, the compensation cost of Mr. Miller’s grant 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. 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. As of September 30, 2021, our CEO held time-vested options, of which options were exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of such outstanding and exercisable options was $ and $, respectively.

Compensation cost recognition
Stock-based compensation costs associated with Mr. Miller’s grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company uses the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of the time-based and performance-based restricted stock units.
Time-based RSUs
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 either graded vesting attribution or straight-line attribution. Under ASC 718-10-35-8, the Company elects the graded vesting method, recognizing compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche as though each tranche of the award is, in substance, a separate award. The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of awards expected to vest. Forfeitures of time-based units and awards are recognized as they occur. As of September 30, 2021, the un-amortized stock-based compensation is approximately $, and the intrinsic value of restricted stock units is $-- per share.
Performance-based RSUs
To recognize compensation costs, the Company must compute the probability to achieve the above revenue level thresholds before generating compensation cost calculations. The probability of achieving any required metrics for vesting for the performance-based awards is inconclusive as of September 30, 2021. When the Company determines that the remaining performance metrics’ achievement becomes probable, the Company will record a cumulative catch-up stock-based compensation amount. Upon meeting probable performance conditions, we will record any unrecognized costs over the awards’ remaining requisite service period using the graded vesting method. Forfeitures of performance-based units and awards are recognized as they occur. As of September 30, 2021, the un-amortized stock-based compensation is approximately $, and the intrinsic value of restricted stock units is $-- per share.
As of September 30, 2021, Mr. Miller held unvested time-based restricted stock units and unvested performance-based restricted stock units, both with a weighted average exercise price of $ and a weighted average remaining contractual life of and years for time-based and performance-based restricted stock units, respectively.

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. Accordingly, you should read this report and the documents that we reference in this report and have filed as exhibits to this report entirely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. You should also review the factors and risks we describe in the 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 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 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. The Company is experiencing supply chain delays obtaining specific inventory items, and mitigating these issues, the Company’s operations team increased inventory levels in its purchase management of these components. The execution of this policy has improved our ability to ship products.
The Company cannot predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the scope, severity, and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the development, rollout, and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business closures, and restricting travel. The federal government and certain states and cities, including those where the location of our principal place of business is and sales force seek to operate, have also reacted by vaccine mandates, instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, and restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate. The Company cannot predict if the federal government or additional states and cities will implement similar or other restrictions or when restrictions or mandates currently in place will expire.
As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacts almost every industry directly or indirectly, including the industries in which we operate. Further, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions with continued disruptions, volatility in the credit and financial markets, consumer spending, and other unanticipated consequences remain unknown. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q, for discussion of certain risks associated with COVID-19, including the potential adverse effects on our operations, supply chain, and cash flow due to the U.S. Government vaccine mandate for employees, contractors, and subcontractors that service federal contracts. Additionally, see the section titled Risk Factors in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of risks related to COVID-19.
Vislink enforces strict social distancing, symptom self-assessments, sanitation, and mask protocols within its facilities. We believe that we comply with all public health guidance, and we continue to take precautionary measures, make contingency plans, and improve our response to the ongoing situation. The Company continues to perform most administrative operations remotely, in the U.S. and overseas. The Company continues to limit business travel and face-to-face meetings, and a portion of its non-manufacturing employees work remotely. Remote work arrangements and travel restrictions have not adversely affected Vislink’s ability to maintain operations and financial reporting, and the Company does not anticipate a material impact on its human capital resources or productivity.
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. Access to clean water and reliable energy in the communities where we operate our company is a priority. 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.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the general and administrative expenses were $13.4 million compared to $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, representing an increase of $0.7 million or 6%.
The three-month increase of $2.8 million is primarily attributable to an increase of $1.6 million of transaction/acquisition costs incurred as part of the Company’s acquisition of MVP, an increase in salaries and benefits of $0.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million in foreign exchange expense recognized, an increase of $0.3 in commissions, and an increase of $0.2 of directors fees. The increase was offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in rent and utilities.
The nine-month increase of $0.7 million is primarily attributable to an increase of $1.3 million of transaction/acquisition costs incurred as part of the Company’s acquisition of MVP, an increase of $0.5 million of salaries and benefits offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in rent and utilities, and a reduction of $0.6 million in stock-based compensation.
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.
In the three months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses were $0.8 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, representing an increase of $0.2 million or 33%. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses were $2.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, representing an increase of $0.4 million or 22%.
The three-month increase of $0.2 million is primarily attributable to miscellaneous research expenses. The nine-month increase of $0.4 million is primarily attributable to increased employee expenses and miscellaneous research expenses of $0.2 million each.

Amortization and Depreciation
In the three months ended September 30, 2021, amortization and depreciation expenses were $0.3 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, representing no change.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, amortization and depreciation expenses were $0.9 million compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, representing a decrease of $0.2 million or 18%.
The decline is attributable to an increase in fully depreciated long-lived assets.
Other Income
Gain on settlement of debt
In the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, no transactions occurred requiring the recognition of gain on settlement of related party obligations. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, the gain on settlement of related party obligations was $-0- million and $0.3 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.3 million or 100%.
This decrease is attributable to no transactions occurring in the current quarter to recognize the results of related party transactions in the fiscal year 2021.
Gain on settlement of debt
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the company recognized a gain on settlement of debt amounting to $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The company did not identify a gain on settlement of debt in 2020. The increase is predominantly attributable to the forgiveness of the PPP government grant in July 2021.
Net Loss
In the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a net income of $0.7 million compared to a net loss of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, or an increase of $3.5 million or 125%. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $2.8 million compared to a net loss of $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, or a decrease of $5.2 million or 65%.
The reduction in net loss is primarily attributable to the Company’s strategic initiative plan implemented in the fiscal year of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company incurred an approximate $4.2 million loss from operations and $8.2 million of cash used in operating activities for the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The Company had $49.8 million in working capital, $273.0 million in accumulated deficits, and $37.9 million of cash on hand as of November 15, 2021.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued 6,163,198 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $12,600,000 under its at-the-market facility with Alliance Global Partners (the “ATM”). As of November 15, 2021, $4,500,000 of capacity remains under the ATM.
The continuous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows remains unsettled, indeterminate, and volatile such as vaccine mandates by federal, state, and local governments. The unpredictability of the pandemic’s scope, severity, duration, and actions implemented to alleviate its direct and indirect economic effects and containment measures provides 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 the capital injections discussed above, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. 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, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As of September 30, 2021, 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, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.
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 is 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.
(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 September 30, 2021, 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, 2020.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness as of September 30, 2021, 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 September 30, 2021, the material weakness discussed above had not been 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 at December 31, 2021, may exclude MVP to the extent that they are not yet integrated into our internal controls environment.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information in this report on Form 10-Q, including the section of this report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes. If any of the events described in the following risk factors and the risks described elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q occurs, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be seriously harmed. This report on Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to factors described below and elsewhere in this report. The risk factor set forth below contains changes to the similarly titled risk factor included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.
Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has unfavorably affected the Company’s business, financial condition, and operating results and could affect the Company’s liquidity. We cannot predict, with any certainty, how future events may affect our operations in the near and long-term in the COVID-19 pandemic environment.
The global supply chain weaknesses involve computer chips and other components essential to specific product lines. The Company is subject to supply chain risks relating to its dependence on suppliers, the majority of which are single-source providers of parts or components for particular Company product lines. The Company's ability to continue to prepare for and sustain production depends, among other things, on the readiness and solvency of suppliers and vendors through all macroeconomic factors, including factors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Shipping delays, slowdowns in worldwide shipping, and shortages of containers affect the arrival of components from overseas. We have undertaken to maintain an efficient supply chain; however, we cannot anticipate if a chip or component shortage will unfavorably affect the Company's manufacturing process and its ability to deliver products.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the continued measures to reduce its spread have negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted consumer/customer demand and global supply chains, and created significant volatility and financial markets disruption. These measures and the continued volatility of the worldwide economy adversely affected our results of operations for 2020.
The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business remains uncertain and will depend on various changing factors on a day-to-day basis. We may not be able to predict such items accurately as:
| ● | the duration and scope of the pandemic, | |
| ● | the disruption of the national and global economy, | |
| ● | the span of the economic downturn, | |
| ● | the laws, executive orders, programs, vaccine mandates, and actions governments will enact or take, | |
| ● | the possibility to which our clients’ businesses contract or fail, | |
| ● | the applicability to which new regulations intended to help small and medium-sized businesses, | |
| ● | the extent to which our operations are impacted by facility closures, remote work and/or infections, | |
| ● | and how quickly and to what time normal economic and operating conditions can resume. |
Any of these factors could exacerbate the risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company fully implemented a strategic initiative plan during the first quarter of 2020. We executed spending reductions to improve liquidity, a partial workforce reduction, the furlough of employees, and discretionary spending reduction. The Company continued its focus in November 2020, further reducing the workforce, eliminating inventory related to discontinued product lines, reducing individual facilities usage, and reducing operations expenditures.
Risks Related to the Company and Our Business
We face risks related to COVID-19, which could significantly disrupt our operations and have a material adverse impact on us and our business.
The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact the Company’s operations, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition will depend on future developments. With the current Presidential administration working towards “herd immunity,” President Biden issued an executive order requiring all on-site and remote federal employees, contractors, and sub-contractors to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or receive an approved medical or religious exemption by December 8, 2021, which may apply to us because of our products and solutions provided to the U.S. government. Legal challenges to this executive order are currently underway with additional challenges expected, which leads to uncertainty about the constitutionality and enforceability of the executive order. However, failure to comply with the executive order at this time could lead to loss of a contract, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, financial condition, and results of operations. The timing and efficacy of the vaccination programs in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the actions implemented to contain the impact of COVID-19 by Federal and local governments, limit determining the foreseeable resulting economic effects with any level of predictability.

Risks Related to the Company and Our Business (continued)
Our business may suffer from risks related to acquisitions and potential future acquisitions.
Part of our strategic business plan is to grow our business through acquisitions, and we continue to evaluate and engage in discussions concerning potential acquisition opportunities, some of which could be material. For example, in August 2021, we acquired MVP. Failure to successfully integrate or otherwise realize the anticipated benefits of the MVP or other potential acquisitions could adversely impact our long-term competitiveness and profitability. The integration of any investment will involve several risks that could harm our financial condition, results of operations, and competitive position. In particular:
| ● | We base the integration plans for our acquisitions on benefits that involve assumptions as to future events, including our ability to successfully achieve anticipated synergies, leveraging our existing relationships, as well as general business and industry conditions, many of which are beyond our control and may not materialize. Unforeseen factors may offset components of our integration plans in whole or in part. As a result, our actual results may vary considerably or be delayed significantly, compared to our estimates; | |
| ● | the integration process could disrupt the activities of the businesses that are being combined. The combination of companies requires, among other things, coordination of administrative and other functions. In addition, the loss of key employees, customers, or vendors of acquired businesses could materially and adversely impact the integration of the acquired companies; | |
| ● | the execution of our integration plans may divert the attention of our management from other vital responsibilities; | |
| ● | our financial results may be negatively impacted by cash expenses and non-cash charges incurred in connection with an acquisition if goodwill or other intangible assets we acquire become impaired; | |
| ● | we may enter new markets or markets in which we have limited prior experience; | |
| ● | we may incur substantial indebtedness to finance an acquisition, enhancing our vulnerability to increased debt service requirements should interest rates rise, reducing the amount of expected cash flow available for other purposes, including capital expenditures and acquisitions, and limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our businesses and industries; | |
| ● | we may assume unanticipated liabilities and contingencies or other exposures (including regulatory risks) for which we do not have adequate insurance coverage, indemnification, or additional protection; or | |
| ● | our acquisition targets could fail to perform per our expectations at the time of purchase. |
Our ability to grow through the acquisition of other companies depends on identifying acceptable acquisition targets and opportunities, our ability to consummate prospective transactions on favorable terms, or at all, and the availability of capital to complete the necessary acquisition arrangements. We intend to finance our acquisitions through a combination of our available cash resources, third-party financing, and the further issuance of equity and/or debt securities in appropriate circumstances.
Acquiring other companies could significantly affect our financial position and cause substantial fluctuations in our quarterly and yearly operating results. Also, acquisitions could result in the recording of significant goodwill and intangible assets on our financial statements, the amortization or impairment of which would reduce reported earnings in subsequent years.
