ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORSPotential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our operations and financial condition are subjectUnder the terms of Mr. Smith’s employment agreement, if the Company terminates Mr. Smith without “cause” or as a result of a “change in control”, the Company agreed to significant risks, including those described below. This report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysisprovide a severance payment equal to 12 months of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward looking statements that may be affected by several risk factors, including those set forth below.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

Our working capital requirements may negatively affect our liquidity and capital resources.

At various times in our history, we have experienced negative working capital and minimal liquidity. If our working capital requirements vary significantly or if our short and long-term working capital needs exceed our cash flows from operations, we would look to our cash balances or other alternative sources of additional outside capital, which may not be available on satisfactory terms and in adequate amounts, if at all.

The mobile computing industry is characterized by rapid technological change, and our success depends upon the frequent enhancement of existing products and services and timely introduction of new products and services that meet our customers’ needs.

Customer requirements for mobile computing products and services are rapidly evolving and technological changes in our industry occur rapidly. To keep up with new customer requirements and distinguish us from our competitors, we must frequently introduce new products and services and enhancements of existing products and services. Enhancing existing products and services and developing new products and services is a complex and uncertain process. It often requires significant investments in research and development (“R&D”), which we do not undertake. Even if we made significant investments in R&D, they might not result in products or services attractive or acceptable to our customers. Furthermore, we may not be able to launch new or improved products or services before our competition launches comparable products or services. Any of these factors could cause our business or results or operations to suffer.

If we fail to continue to introduce new products that achieve broad market acceptance on a timely basis, we will not be able to compete effectively, and we will be unable to increase or maintain sales and profitability. Our future success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products and product enhancements that achieve broad market acceptance. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products that respond to emerging technological trends and customers’ mission critical needs, our profitability and market share may suffer. The process of developing new technology is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends, our business could be harmed.

We are active in the identification and development of new product and technology services and in enhancing our current products. However, in the enterprise mobility solutions industry, such activities are complex and filled with uncertainty. If we expend a significant amount of resources and our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction of new or improved products, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, profitability, financial condition and market share.

We may also encounter delays in the manufacturing and production of new products from our principal suppliers. Additionally, new products may not be commercially successful. Demand for existing products may decrease upon the announcement of new or improved products. Further, since products under development are often announced before introduction, these announcements may cause customers to delay purchases of any products, even if newly introduced, until the new or improved versions of those products are available. If customer orders decrease or are delayed during the product transition, we may experience a decline in revenue and have excess inventory on hand which could decrease gross profit margins. Our profitability might decrease if customers, who may otherwise choose to purchase existing products, instead choose to purchase lower priced models of new products. Delays or deficiencies in the development, manufacturing, and delivery of, or demand for, new or improved products could have a negative effect on our business or profitability.

Our products are highly technical and may contain undetected errors, product defects, security vulnerabilities, or software errors.

Our products, including our software products, are highly technical and complex and, when deployed, may contain errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities. We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing market, and we have a history of frequently introducing new products. Products and services as sophisticated as ours could contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new models or versions are released. Such occurrences could result in damage to our reputation, lost revenue, diverted development resources, increased customer service and support costs, warranty claims, and litigation.

We warrant that our products will be free of defect for various periods of time, dependingMr. Smith’s then-applicable annual base salary on the product. In addition, certaindate of our contracts include epidemic failure clauses. If invoked, these clauses may entitle the customer to returntermination. As of December 31, 2022, potential severance payments upon termination or obtain credits for products and inventory, or to cancel outstanding purchase orders even if the products themselves are not defective.

Errors, viruses, or bugs may be presenta change in software or hardware that we acquire or license from third parties and incorporate into our products or in third-party software or hardware that our customers use in conjunction with our products. Our customers’ proprietary software and network firewall protections may corrupt data from our products and create difficulties in implementing our solutions. Changes to third-party software or hardware that our customers use in conjunction with our software could also render our applications inoperable. Any errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities in our products or any defects in, or compatibility issues with, any third-party hardware or software or customers’ network environments discovered after commercial release could result in loss of revenue or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers, theft of trade secrets, data or intellectual property and increased service and warranty cost, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Undiscovered vulnerabilities in our products alone or in combination with third-party hardware or software could expose them to hackers or other unscrupulous third parties who develop and deploy viruses and other malicious software programs that could attack our products. Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products could harm our reputation and lead some customers to return products, to reduce or delay future purchases, or use competitive products.

We face competition from numerous sources and competition may increase, leading to a decline in revenues.

We compete primarily with well-established companies, many of which we believe have greater resources than us. We believe that barriers to entry are not significant and start-up costs are relatively low, so our competition may increase in the future. New competitors may be able to launch new businesses similar to ours, and current competitors may replicate our business model, at a relatively low cost. If competitors with significantly greater resources than ours decide to replicate our business model, they may be able to quickly gain recognition and acceptance of their business methods and products through marketing and promotion. We may not have the resources to compete effectively with current or future competitors. If we are unable to effectively compete, we will lose sales to our competitors and our revenues will decline.

Our competitors may be able to develop their business strategy and grow revenue at a faster pace than us, which would limit our results of operations and may force us to cease or curtail operations.control was $450,000. 

The wireless mobile solutions marketplace, while highly fragmented,other named executive officer is very competitive and many of our competitors are more established and have greater resources. We expect that competition will intensifynot entitled to payments in the future. Some of these competitors also have greater market presence, marketing capabilities, technological and personnel resources than the Company. As comparedconnection with our company therefore, such competitors may:

These current and prospective competitors include other wireless mobility solutions companies, hardware suppliers anda termination or change in house IT departments.control.

Director Compensation

A significant portionOur non-employee directors receive an annual cash retainer of $30,000 for their service on our board. In addition, Mr. Jaworski received an additional $60,000 for serving as Chairman of the Board and Mr. Guttilla received an additional $10,000 for serving as Audit Committee Chair.

Annual service for retainer purposes relates to the approximate 12-month period between annual meetings of our revenue is dependent uponstockholders and all retainers are paid in quarterly installments. A prorated annual retainer will be paid to any person who becomes a small numbermember of customers,our board, a committee chair or a member of any committee on a date other than the date of the annual meeting of our stockholders.

The following table sets forth the independent director compensation payments and the lossgrant date fair value of any one or more of these customers would negatively impact our results of operations.

We had two customers who, together, represented 28% of the Company’s revenue forstock option awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Customer mix shifts significantly from year to year, but a concentration of the business with a few large customers is typical in any given year. A decline in our revenues could occur if a customer which has been a significant factor in one financial reporting period gives us significantly less business in the following period. Any one of our customers could reduce their orders for our products and services in favor of a more competitive price or different product at any time. The loss of a significant customer could have a material adverse impact on our Company.

Our contracts with these customers and our other customers do not include any specific purchase requirements or other requirements outside of the normal course of business. The majority of our customer contracts are on an annual basis for service support while on a purchase order basis for hardware purchases. Typical hardware sales are submitted on an estimated order basis with subsequent follow-on orders for specific quantities. These sales are ultimately subject to the time that the units are installed at all of the customer locations as per their requirements. Termination provisions are generally standard clauses based upon non-performance. General industry standards for contracts provide ordinary terms and conditions, while actual work and performance aspects are usually dictated by a Statement of Work which outlines what is being ordered, product specifications, delivery, installation and pricing.

If wireless carriers were to terminate or materially reduce their business relationships with us, our operating results would be materially harmed.

We have established key wireless carrier relationships with T-Mobile and Verizon. We have an informal arrangement with these carriers pursuant to which they provide us referrals of end users interested in field mobility solutions, and we, in turn, provide solutions which require cellular data networks. We do not have any binding agreements with these carriers. If these carriers were to terminate or materially reduce, for any reason, their business relationships with us, our operating results would be materially harmed.

Use of third-party suppliers and service providers could adversely affect our product quality, delivery schedules or customer satisfaction, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

In particular, we rely heavily on a number of privileged vendor relationships as a value-added reseller (“VAR”) for the Motorola Solutions Partner Pinnacle Club program, a manufacturer of bar code scanners and portable data terminals; as an Honors Solutions Provider for Intermec, a manufacturer of bar code scanners and terminals; as a Premier Partner with Zebra, a printer manufacturer, and O’Neil, the leading provider of ‘ruggedized’ handheld mobile printers. The loss of VAR status with any of these manufacturers could have a substantial adverse effect on our business. Our ability to meet financial objectives depends on our ability to timely obtain an adequate delivery of hardware as well as services from our vendors. Certain supplies are available from a single source or limited sources for which we may be unable to provide suitable alternatives in a timely manner. In addition, we may experience increases in vendor prices that could have a negative impact on our business. Credit constraints by our vendors could cause us to accelerate payables by us, impacting our cash flow. Any unanticipated expense, or disruption in our business or operations relating a limited number of suppliers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Growth of, and changes in, our revenues and profits depend on the customer, product and geographic mix of our sales. Fluctuations in our sales mix could have an adverse impact on or increase the volatility of our revenues, gross margins and profits.

Sales of our productsto large enterprises tend to have lower prices and gross margins than sales to smaller firms. In addition, our gross margins vary depending on the product or service delivered. Growth in our revenues and gross margins therefore depends on the customer, product and geographic mix of our sales. If we are unable to execute a sales strategy that results in a favorable sales mix, our revenues, gross margins and earnings may decline. Further, changes in the mix of our sales from quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year may make our revenues, gross margins and earnings more volatile and difficult to predict.

Our sales cycles can be long, unpredictable and require considerable time and expense, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

Our sales cycle, which is the time between initial contact with a potential customer and the ultimate sale, is often lengthy and unpredictable. Some of our potential customers may already have partial managed mobility solutions in place under fixed-term contracts, which may limit their ability to commit to purchase our solution in a timely fashion. In addition, our potential customers typically undertake a significant evaluation process that can last up to a year or more, and which requires us to expend substantial time, effort and money educating them about the capabilities of our offerings and the potential cost savings they can bring to an organization. Furthermore, the purchase of our products and services may require coordination and agreement across many departments within a potential customer’s organization, which further contributes to our lengthy sales cycle. As a result, we have limited ability to forecast the timing and size of specific sales. Any delay in completing, or failure to complete, sales in a particular quarter or year could harm our business and could cause our operating results to vary significantly.

Our revolving line-of-credit agreement and our loan agreements may limit our flexibility in managing our business, and defaults of any financial and non-financial covenants in these agreements could adversely affect us.

Our revolving-line-of-credit agreement as well as our term loan impose operating restrictions on us in the form of financial and non-financial covenants. These restrictions may limit the manner in which we can conduct our business and may restrict us from engaging in favorable business opportunities.

If we incur debt in future periods, our indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business.

As of December 31, 2022, we had availability under a line of credit of $9 million. Our current line of credit expires in July 2024. Our level of indebtedness relative to stockholders’ equity could have important consequences to you, including with respect to our ability to declare and pay a dividend, and significant effects on our business, including the following:

We expect to obtain the funds to pay our day-to-day expenses and to repay our indebtedness primarily from our operations. Our ability to meet our expenses and make these payments therefore depends on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which we cannot control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, and our currently anticipated growth in sales and cash flow may not be realized, either or both of which could result in our being unable to repay indebtedness, including the outstanding promissory notes, or to fund other liquidity needs. If we do not have enough funds, we may be in breach our debt covenants and/or be required to refinance all or part of our then existing debt, sell assets or borrow more funds, which we may not be able to accomplish on terms favorable to us, or at all. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt agreements may restrict us from pursuing any of these alternatives.

Our sales and profitability may be affected by changes in macro-economic, business or industry conditions.

If the economic climate in the U.S. or abroad deteriorates as a result of COVID-19, global conflicts in Europe (or elsewhere), rising interest rates, or otherwise, customers or potential customers could reduce or delay their technology investments. Reduced or delayed technology investments could decrease our sales and profitability. In this environment, our customers may experience financial difficulty, cease operations and fail to budget or reduce budgets for the purchase of our products and services. This may lead to longer sales cycles, delays in purchase decisions, payment and collection, and can also result in downward price pressures, causing our sales and profitability to decline. In addition, general economic uncertainty and volatility arising from geopolitical events and concerns, inflation, rises in energy prices, changes in interest rates and general declines in capital spending in the information technology sector make it difficult to predict changes in the purchasing requirements of our customers and the markets we serve. There are many other factors which could affect our business, including:

These trends and factors could adversely affect our business, profitability and financial condition and diminish our ability to achieve our strategic objectives.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary software and methodology.

Our success depends, in part, upon our proprietary software, methodology and other intellectual property rights. We rely upon a combination of trade secrets, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, and copyright and trademark laws to protect our proprietary rights. We generally enter into nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, partners, consultants, independent sales agents and customers, and limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. We cannot be certain that the steps we take in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. We have attempted to put in place certain safeguards in our policies and procedures to protect intellectual property developed by employees. Our policies and procedures stipulate that intellectual property created by employees and its consultants remain our property. If we are unable to protect our proprietary software and methodology, the value of our business may decrease, and we may face increased competition.

We have not sought to protect our proprietary knowledge through patents and, as a result, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected to the extent that competing products/services were to capture a significant portion of our target markets.

We have generally not sought patent protection for our products and services, relying instead on our technical know-how and ability to design solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. Our sales and profitability could be adversely affected to the extent that competing products/services were to capture a significant portion of our target markets. To remain competitive, we must continually improve our existing personnel skill sets and capabilities and the provision of the services related thereto. Our success will also depend, in part, on management’s ability to recognize new technologies and services and make arrangements to license in or acquire such technologies so as to always be at the leading edge.

Assertions by a third party that our software products or technology infringes its intellectual property, whether or not correct, could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses.

Although we believe that our services and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, infringement claims may be asserted against us in the future. There is frequent litigation in the communications and technology industries based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we face increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us may increase. These claims, whether or not successful, could:

As a result, any third-party intellectual property claims against us could increase our expenses and impair our business. In addition, although we have licensed proprietary technology, we cannot be certain that the owners’ rights in such technology will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Furthermore, many of our customer agreements require us to indemnify our customers for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase our costs as a result of defending such claims and may require that we pay damages if there were an adverse ruling related to any such claims. These types of claims could harm our relationships with our customers, may deter future customers from purchasing our software products or could expose us to litigation for these claims. Even if we are not a party to any litigation between a customer and a third party, an adverse outcome in any such litigation could make it more difficult for us to defend our intellectual property in any subsequent litigation in which we are a named party.

We are dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure (cybersecurity).

We rely upon technology systems and infrastructure. Our technology systems are potentially vulnerable to breakdown or other interruption by fire, power loss, system malfunction, unauthorized access and other events such as computer hackings, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, worms or other destructive or disruptive software. Likewise, data privacy breaches by employees and others with permitted access to our systems may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. While we have invested heavily in the protection of data and information technology and in related training, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent significant breakdowns, breaches in our systems or other cyber incidents that could have a material adverse effect upon our reputation, business, operations or financial condition of the company. In addition, significant implementation issues may arise as we continue to consolidate and outsource certain computer operations and application support activities.

We are subject to evolving privacy laws in the United States and other jurisdictions that are subject to potentially differing interpretations and which could adversely impact our business and require that we incur substantial costs.

Existing privacy-related laws and regulations in the United States and other countries are evolving and are subject to potentially differing interpretations, and various U.S. federal and state or other international legislative and regulatory bodies may expand or enact laws regarding privacy and data security-related matters. In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which took effect in January 2020, was amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“the “CPRA”) and took full effect in January 2023. The CCPA and CPRA, among other things, gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. Other U.S. states and the U.S. Congress have introduced, and some states like Virginia and Colorado have enacted in 2021, data privacy legislation, which may impact our business. Data privacy legislation, amendments and revisions to existing data privacy legislation, and other developments impacting data privacy and data protection may require us to modify our data processing.

We may need to raise additional funds, and these funds may not be available when we need them or may not be obtainable on favorable terms.

We may need to raise additional funds in order to fund our growth strategy and fully implement our business plan. Specifically, we may need to raise additional funds in order to pursue rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services and products, and acquire complementary businesses or assets. Additionally, we may need funds to respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments in or expenditures on behalf of our business. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, on favorable terms, or at all. If funds are not available when we need them, then we may need to change our business strategy, reduce our rate of growth or suffer losses or other adverse impacts.

If we incur operating losses or do not raise sufficient additional capital, material adverse events may occur, including, but not limited to: 1) a reduction in the nature and scope of our operations, 2) our inability to fully implement our current business plan, and 3) defaults under our existing loan agreements. A covenant default would give one of our creditors the right to demand immediate payment of all outstanding amounts, which we would likely not be able to pay out of normal operations. There are no assurances that we can successfully implement our plans with respect to these liquidity matters.

Our inability to successfully implement our acquisition strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have grown in part as a result of our various acquisitions, including the acquisitions of ExtenData, Royce Digital Systems, Inc., and Advanced Mobile Group, LLC, and we anticipate continuing to grow in this manner. Although we expect to regularly consider additional strategic transactions in the future, we may not identify suitable opportunities or, if we do identify prospects, it may not be possible to consummate a transaction on acceptable terms. Antitrust or other competition laws may also limit our ability to acquire or work collaboratively with certain businesses or to fully realize the benefits of a prospective acquisition. Furthermore, a significant change in our business or the economy, an unexpected decrease in our cash flows or any restrictions imposed by our indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain the necessary capital or otherwise impede our ability to complete a transaction. Regularly considering strategic transactions can also divert management’s attention and lead to significant due diligence and other expenses regardless of whether we pursue or consummate any transaction. Failure to identify suitable transaction partners and to consummate transactions on acceptable terms, as well as the commitment of time and resources in connection with such transactions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any failure to realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition, including unanticipated expenses and liabilities related to acquisitions, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We pursue each acquisition with the expectation that the transaction will result in various benefits, including growth opportunities and synergies from increased efficiencies. However, even if we are able to successfully integrate an acquired business, we may not realize some or all of the anticipated benefits within the anticipated timeframes or at all. Furthermore, we may experience increased competition that limits our ability to expand our business, we may not be able to capitalize on expected business opportunities, and general industry and business conditions may deteriorate. Acquisitions also expose us to significant risks and costs, and business and operational overlaps may lead to hidden costs. These costs can include unforeseen pre-acquisition liabilities or the impairment of customer relationships or acquired assets, such as goodwill. We may also incur costs and inefficiencies to the extent an acquisition expands the industries, markets or geographies in which we operate due to our limited exposure to and experience in a given industry, market or region. Acquisitions at times involve post-transaction disputes with the counterparty regarding a number of matters, including disagreements over the amount of a purchase price or other working capital adjustment or disputes regarding whether certain liabilities are covered by the indemnification provisions of the transaction agreement. We may underestimate the level of certain costs or the exposure we may face as a result of acquired liabilities. If any of these or other factors limit our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of a transaction, or we encounter other unexpected transaction-related costs and liabilities, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Future business combinations and acquisition transactions, if any, as well as recently closed business combinations and acquisition transactions, may not succeed in generating the intended benefits and may adversely affect our business.

Part of our growth strategy is to evaluate strategic acquisitions or relationships from time to time. The inability of our management to successfully integrate acquired businesses or technologies, and any related diversion of management’s attention, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Business combinations and other acquisition transactions may have a direct adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or stock price. To complete acquisitions or other business combinations, we may have to use cash, issue new equity securities with dilutive effects on existing stockholders, take on new debt, assume contingent liabilities or amortize assets or expenses in a manner that might have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet, results of operations or liquidity. We are required to record business combination-related costs and other items as current period expenses, which would have the effect of reducing our reported earnings in the period in which an acquisition is consummated. These and other potential negative effects of an acquisition transaction could prevent us from realizing the benefits of such transaction and have a material adverse impact on our stock price, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

We must effectively manage the structure and size of our operations, or our company will suffer.

Our ability to successfully continue to implement our business plan requires an effective planning and management process. If funding is available, we intend to continue to attempt to increase the scope of our operations and acquire complementary businesses or assets. Implementing our business plan will require significant additional funding and resources. If we successfully grow our operations, we will need to hire additional employees and make significant capital investments. If we grow our operations, it will place a significant strain on our existing management and resources. If we grow, we will need to improve our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures, and we will need to expand, train and manage our workforce. If we need to reduce the size of our infrastructure, we may need to do it swiftly. Any failure to manage any of the foregoing areas efficiently and effectively would cause our business to suffer.

We are heavily dependent on our senior management, and a loss of a member of our senior management team could cause our stock price to decline.

If we lose members of our senior management, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis, and our business and value of our common stock could be adversely affected. Our existing operations and continued future development depend to a significant extent upon the performance and active participation of certain key individuals, including our Chief Executive Officer, our Senior Vice Presidents and certain other senior management individuals. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in retaining the services of these or other key personnel. If we were to lose any of these individuals, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our inability to hire, train and retain qualified employees could cause our financial condition to weaken.

The success of our business is highly dependent upon our ability to hire, train and retain qualified employees. We face competition from other employers for people, and the availability of qualified people is limited. We must offer a competitive employment package in order to hire and retain employees, and any increase in competition for people may require us to increase wages or benefits in order to maintain a sufficient work force, resulting in higher operation costs. Additionally, we must successfully train our employees in order to provide high quality services. In the event of high turnover or shortage of people, we may experience difficulty in providing consistent high-quality services. These factors could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our financial condition and results of operations at times have been and may continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our overall performance depends upon domestic and worldwide economic and political conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to contribute to volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. Effects of the pandemic continue to contribute to disruptions to global supply chains and contributing to labor shortages. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have widespread, evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. Despite the efforts to contain the pandemic, new variants of the virus are, at times, causing additional outbreaks. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact our business operations, including our employees, customers, partners, and communities, and there is uncertainty in the nature and degree of its continued effects over time.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, operations, and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict, including:

We have experienced disruption in our supply chain as a result of the effects of COVID-19 and related events, and are subject to ongoing supply chain risks, which adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

We are dependent upon a limited number of contract manufacturers for the manufacture, testing, and assembly of certain products and specific suppliers for a number of our critical components. Our current reliance on a limited group of contract manufacturers and suppliers involves risks, including the potential inability to obtain products or components to meet customers’ delivery requirements, reduced control over pricing and delivery schedules and discontinuation of or increased prices for certain components. We have experienced disruption in our supply chain as a result of the effects of COVID-19 related events and their impact on our suppliers and on international trade in general, leading to shortfalls in available components we need to make products as well as increased costs to obtain components, to make products, and to transport components and products. Some suppliers have prioritized the orders of larger customers and are focusing their investments in additional capacity on higher volume components. We are experiencing extended delivery times for certain components of our hardware products and increased freight costs. As a result, we are making binding commitments with longer lead times and procuring components at higher prices, which may impact our flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions and product demand. These disruptions have had an adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand and have resulted in delays in shipping products to customers and dealers. The severity of the disruptions is continuously changing so that the impact on our ability to meet demand for particular products varies over time, which creates substantial uncertainties in forecasting our financial results. We expect these disruptions to impact our financial results.

Future disruptions could occur as a result of any number of events, including, but not limited to, the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, increases in wages that drive up prices or labor, the imposition of new regulations, quotas or embargoes on components, a scarcity of, or significant increase in the price of, required components for our products, trade restrictions, tariffs or duties, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, transportation failures affecting the supply chain and shipment of materials and finished goods, third party interference in the integrity of the products sourced through the supply chain, the unavailability of raw materials, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, civil unrest, military conflicts, geopolitical developments, war or terrorism, and disruptions in utility and other services. Any other circumstance that would require us to seek alternative sources of supply or to manufacture, assemble, and test such components internally could significantly delay our ability to ship our products, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and could harm our reputation and brand as well as our results of operations. Lastly, due to supply chain issues, we may accumulate excess inventories if we inaccurately forecast demand for our products.

If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.

We review our goodwill and amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable include a decline in stock price and market capitalization, decrease in estimated future cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry. We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined, resulting in a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR SECURITIES

Despite our listing on the NYSE American, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, and the NYSE American may subsequently delist our common stock if we fail to comply with ongoing listing standards.

In May 2022, our common stock commenced trading on the NYSE American under the symbol “DPSI.” The NYSE American’s rules for listed companies require us to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of our common stock. To satisfy the initial listing standards for the NYSE American, we had to execute a reverse stock split. In addition to specific listing and maintenance standards, the NYSE American has broad discretionary authority over the continued listing of securities, which it could exercise with respect to the listing of our common stock.

As a listed company, we are required to meet the continued listing requirements applicable to all NYSE American companies. If we fail to meet those standards, as applied by NYSE American in its discretion, our common stock may be subject to delisting. We intend to take all commercially reasonable actions to maintain our NYSE American listing. If our common stock is delisted in the future, it is not likely that we will be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange and, as a result, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market; however, if this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our common stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, in the event of such delisting, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our common stock is listed on NYSE American,8,000 shares of our common stock qualify as covered securities under the statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on NYSE American, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under the statute, and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

Further, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will be sustained despite our listing on the NYSE American.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile, and your investment in our common stock could decline in value.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including:

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies that experience volatility in the market price of their securities. Whether or not meritorious, litigation brought against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We expect that our quarterly results of operations will fluctuate, and this fluctuation could cause our stock price to decline.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations could cause our stock price to decline. The nature of our business involves variable factors which could cause our operating results to fluctuate.

Due to the possibility of fluctuations in our revenues and expenses, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results at times are not a good indication of our future performance.

If we or our existing stockholders sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including as part of this offering, our stock price may decline even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares (particularly with respect to our affiliates, directors, executive officers or other insiders), could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our future ability to obtain capital, especially through an offering of equity securities. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares.

In the future, we may issue additional shares to our employees, directors or consultants, under our equity compensation plan, in connection with corporate alliances or acquisitions, or to raise capital. Due to these factors, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time.

If securities analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for a company’s common stock often is based in part on the research and reports that securities and industry analysts publish about the company. We are not currently aware of any well-known analysts that are covering our common stock, and without analyst coverage it could be hard to generate interest in investments in our common stock. Furthermore, if analyst coverage does develop, and an analyst downgrades our stock or publishes unfavorable research about our business, or if our clinical trials or operating results fail to meet the analysts’ expectations, our stock price would likely decline.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition, future prospects, covenants in documents governing our debt obligations and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. You should not rely on an investment in our company if you require dividend income from your investment in our company. The success of your investment will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation of the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law, could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.

We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable. Our Charter and Bylaws:

In addition, our Charter permits the Board to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock with such powers, rights, terms and conditions as may be designated by the Board upon the issuance of shares of preferred stock at one or more times in the future. Specifically, the Charter permits the Board to approve the future issuance of all or any shares of the preferred stock in one or more series, to determine the number of shares constituting any series and to determine any voting powers, conversion rights, dividend rights, and other designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and rights relating to such shares without any further authorization by our stockholders. The Board’s power to issue preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a transaction or a change in control of our company that might otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. Currently, we are not a party to any material legal proceedings or subject to any material claims. The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Overview

DecisionPoint is a provider and integrator of mobility and wireless systems for business organizations. The Company designs, deploys and supports mobile computing systems that enable customers to access employers’ data networks at various locations (i.e. the retail selling floor, nurse workstations, warehouse and distribution centers or on the road deliveries via enterprise-grade handheld computers, printers, tablets, and smart phones). The Company also integrates data capture equipment including bar code scanners and radio frequency identification (RFID) readers.

In December 2020, we completed the acquisition of ExtenData, a privately held company with corporate headquarters in Centennial, CO. DecisionPoint acquired ExtenData to better serve its customers, deepen its expertise in manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and hospitality, and provide a stronger regional presence across the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States.

In January 2022, we completed the acquisition of AMG, a privately held company headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. DecisionPoint acquired Advanced Mobile Group to expand DecisionPoint’s mobility-first enterprise solutions and service offerings and grow its capabilities in the mid-Atlantic region. AMG is a regional leader providing services, hardware, software, integration, and wireless networking solutions, with deep experience in warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, mobile workforce automation, retailing, and healthcare segments, and 600 customers.

The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which fluctuate and are uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence While our overall business and revenue since the onset of the pandemic have not been materially adversely impacted, certain of our customers, particularly those in the retail sector, have at times been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and the pandemic has contributed to disruptions in supply chains and labor shortages across industries, and therefore our results of operations during 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in 2023 in light of the uncertainties surrounding the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on many of our customers and suppliers. Although our results of operations were not materially adversely impacted, we have experienced supplier shipment delays due to a supply chain and logistic challenges resulting in delays in revenue recognition.

In addition, general economic uncertainty and volatility arising from geopolitical events and concerns, inflation, rises in energy prices, changes in interest rates and general declines in capital spending in the information technology sector make it difficult to predict changes in the purchasing requirements of our customers and the markets we serve and whether our results of operations will be materially impacted.

Components of Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales reflect revenue from the sale of hardware, software, consumables and professional services (including hardware and software maintenance) to our clients, net of sales taxes.

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Cost of Sales, Sales and Marketing Expenses, and General and Administrative Expenses

The following illustrates the primary costs classified in each major expense category:

Cost of sales, include:

Sales and marketing expenses, include:

General and administrative expenses, include:

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in dollars and as a percentage of our net sales (in thousands):

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2022 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021

Net sales

Net sales increased by 47.7%, or $31.5 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by significant equipment orders by two of our large enterprise customers which contributed an increase of $23.1 million in net sales for the 2022 fiscal year, and a $8.9 million increase in overall net sales associated with sales by AMG which we acquired on January 31, 2022 (and, thus, there were no corresponding sales by AMG included in our results of operations 2021)

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased by 46.8%, or $23.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to higher hardware sales volume and a $5.8 million increase in overall cost of sales associated with cost of sales of AMG that we acquired on January 31, 2022 (and, thus, there were no corresponding costs of sales of AMG included in our results of operations for 2021).

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of higher sales volume and the other impacts noted above. Overall gross profit margin increased 50 basis points primarily due to an increase in the gross margins of hardware sales.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.9 million, or 25.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in commissions on higher sales volume during 2022, combined with $1.1 million in additional expenses for AMG operations that were acquired on January 31, 2022 (and, thus, there were not corresponding sales and marketing expenses of AMG included in our results of operations for 2021). These increases were offset by a $0.2 million decrease in salary expense. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased 170 basis points primarily due to higher sales volume for the year ended December 31, 2022.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 24.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in these expenses was due to a $2.4 million increase in expenses primarily associated with AMG (which we acquired in January 2022, and, thus, there were no corresponding general and administrative expenses by AMG included in our results of operations for 2021), offset by a $0.4 million decrease in stock compensation expense due to fewer stock grants in 2022 as compared to 2021. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative costs decreased 180 basis points primarily due the higher sales volume in 2022.

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense to $56,000 for the 2022 fiscal year from $79,000 last year was due to a decrease in average debt balances during 2022 as compared to 2021.

Gain on extinguishment of debt. We recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 in connection with the forgiveness of the PPP Loans by the US Small Business Administration (“SBA”).

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was approximately $1.3 million and $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The lower income tax rate this year is primarily associated with the tax exemption for the gain on extinguishment of debt recognized in the first quarter of 2021.

Net income. Net income was $3.1 million for 2022 compared to $1.4 million in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash totaling $7.6 million and $9.0 million of availability under our line of credit. In recent years, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities, borrowings from term loans and our line of credit. In the past, we have historically generated operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities as reflected in our accumulated deficit. However, we generated operating income for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2022. Based on our recent trends and our current projections, we expect to generate cash from operations for the year ending December 31, 2023. Given our projections, combined with our existing cash and credit facilities, we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months.

Our ability to continue to meet our cash requirements will depend on, among other things, macro-economic conditions, U.S. and global economic activity, continuing disruptions in supply chains and labor shortages across industry sectors, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow from operations, our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully and the continued availability of financing, if needed. We cannot provide any assurance that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will remain accurate due to, among other things, volatile macro-economic conditions. Consequently, the duration of the pandemic and our estimates on the severity of the impact on our future earnings and cash flows could change and have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, and declines in net sales, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional sources of financing or liquidity on acceptable terms, or at all.

Working Capital

The working capital as of December 31, 2022 decreased slightly from with the working capital balance at December 31, 2021.

Line of Credit

On July 30, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with MUFG Union Bank, National Association. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $9.0 million with our obligations being secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. Loans extended to us under the Loan Agreement are scheduled to mature on July 31, 2024. The availability under the line of credit is not determined by a borrowing base calculation on our existing accounts receivable balance and bears interest at a variable rate (currently at 7.50%).

As of December 31, 2022, we were eligible to borrow up to $9.0 million, and had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit.

EIDL Promissory Note

On August 27, 2020, we received $150,000 in connection with a promissory note from the SBA under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program pursuant to the CARES Act. Under the terms of the EIDL promissory note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at an interest rate of 3.75% per annum and with a term of 30 years with equal monthly payments of principal and interest of $731 beginning on August 27, 2021.

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher net income and increases in both deferred revenue and accounts payable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 which is comprised of cash payments in connection with the acquisition of AMG, the acquisition of the customer list and relationships of Boston Technologies, and capital expenditures of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was comprised of cash payments delivered in connection with the acquisition of ExtenData and purchases of capital expenditures of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which primarily comprised of payments for taxes on the cashless exercise of stock options. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 which comprised of the repayment of debt, partially offset by proceeds of long-term debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. US GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumption and disclosures. We choose accounting policies within US GAAP that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in a consistent manner. Management regularly assesses these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:

Revenue Recognition

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract 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, a performance obligation is satisfied.

We combine contracts with the same customer into a single contract for accounting purposes when the contracts are entered into at or near the same time and the contracts are negotiated as a single commercial package, consideration in one contract depends on the other contract, or the services are considered a single performance obligation. If an arrangement involves multiple performance obligations, the items are analyzed to determine the separate units of accounting (that is, are they distinct and are they distinct in the context of the customer contract). The total contract transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the performance obligations. The standalone selling price is based on an observable price for services sold to other comparable customers, when available, or an estimated selling price using a cost plus margin approach. We estimate the amount of total contract consideration we expect to receive for variable arrangements by determining the most likely amount we expect to earn from the arrangement based on the expected quantities of services we expect to provide, and the contractual pricing based on those quantities. We only include some or a portion of variable consideration in the transaction price when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. We consider the sensitivity of the estimate, our relationship and experience with our client and variable services being performed, the range of possible revenue amounts and the magnitude of the variable consideration to the overall arrangement.

As discussed in more detail below, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration, we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.

We recognize contract assets or unbilled receivables related to revenue recognized for services completed but not yet invoiced to our clients. Unbilled receivables are recorded when we have an unconditional right to contract consideration. A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue when we invoice clients, or receive customer cash payments, in advance of performing the related services under the terms of a contract. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of each reporting period. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when we have satisfied the related performance obligation.

Hardware, consumables and software products - We recognize product revenue at the point in time when a client takes control of the hardware and/or software, which typically occurs when title and risk of loss have passed to the client. Our selling terms and conditions reflect that F.O.B ‘dock’ contractual terms establish that control is transferred from us at the point in time when the product is shipped to the customer.

Revenues from software license sales are recognized as a single performance obligation on a gross basis as we are acting as a principal in these transactions at the point the software license is delivered to the customer. Generally, software licenses are sold with accompanying third-party delivered software assurance, which allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software assurance is in effect. We determined that the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software licensor because we do not sell the software license and standard warranty on a standalone basis (which indicates that the customer cannot benefit from the software license and standard warranty on its own), the software license and the standard warranty are not separately identifiable, the software license assurance warranty are inputs of a combined item in the contract, the assurance warranty and software license are highly interdependent and interrelated because the core functionality of the license is dependent on the assurance warranty, and our promise to provide the assurance warranty that is necessary for the software license to continue to provide significant benefit to the customer. As a result, the software license and the accompanying third party delivered software assurance are recognized as a single performance obligation.

We leverage drop-ship shipments with many of our partners and suppliers to deliver hardware and consumable products to our clients without having to physically hold the inventory at our warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. We recognize revenue for drop-ship arrangements on a gross basis as the principal in the transaction when the product is received by the client because we control the product prior to transfer to the client. We also assume primary responsibility for the fulfillment in the arrangement, we assume inventory risk if the product is returned by the client, we set the price of the product charged to the client, we assume credit risk for nonpayment by our customer, and we work closely with clients to determine their hardware specifications.

Services - We provide services which include consulting, staging, deployment, installation, repair and customer specified software customization. The arrangement is based on either a time and material basis or a fixed fee. For our time and materials service contracts, we recognize revenues as those services are provided and consumed, as this is the best output measure of how the services are transferred to the customer. Fixed fee contracts are recognized in the period in which the services are performed or delivered using a proportional performance service model. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis in the period in which the services are performed or delivered.

Maintenance services - We sell certain OEM hardware and software maintenance support arrangements to our clients. We also offer an internal maintenance agreement related to hardware. These contracts are support service agreements for the hardware and/or software products that were acquired from us and others. Although these are third-party support agreements for maintenance on the specific hardware and/or software products, our internal help desk and systems engineers assist customers by providing technical assistance on the source of or how to fix the problem. In addition, we also provide a turn back feature, deploying replacements as needed while we manage the return and reverse logistics of the product back to the OEM. Revenue related to service contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, generally over one to three years.

We act as the principal in the transaction as the primary obligor for fulfillment in the arrangement, we set the price of the service charged to the customer, and we assume credit risk for the amounts invoiced. In addition, we manage back-end warranties, service contracts and repairs for multiple products and suppliers. We leverage our knowledge base of mobility best practices by consolidating multiple suppliers’ supplier’s maintenance requirements under a single point in contact through us. Our internal support team assists our customers first by performing an initial technical triage to determine the source of the problem including, but not limited to, physical damage and software issues and whether they can be handled remotely by the client or returned for repair. Further, we receive the returned products, confirm that the equipment is operational or not, either repair or refurbish the equipment internally or return it to the manufacturer directly to repair. We then obtain the product turn back from the manufacturer and either send it back out to a specific customer location or place in a customer’s spare pool. As a result, we recognize the revenue on a gross basis.

We defer costs to acquire contracts, including commissions, incentives and payroll taxes if they are incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a customer contract with a term exceeding one year. Deferred contract costs are amortized to sales and marketing expense over the contract term, generally over one to three years. We have elected to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a term of less than one year as a selling expense when incurred. We include deferred contract acquisition costs in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

We evaluate our intangible and long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances arise that indicate intangible and long-lived assets may be impaired. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in overall economic conditions, a decline in the market capitalization, the loss of significant business, or other significant adverse changes in industry or market conditions. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives using an accelerated method to their estimated residual values, if any. Our intangible assets consist of customer lists, customer relationships and trade names.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that carrying values may not be recoverable. We assess the impairment of goodwill annually at each year-end and if indicators of impairment are present.

Factors that we consider important that could trigger an impairment assessment include, but not limited to, the following:

When performing the impairment review, we determine the carrying amount of a reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill, to each reporting unit. To evaluate whether goodwill is impaired, we compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the amount of the impairment loss will be recognized as the difference of the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit under the new accounting standard.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue and expense growth rates, capital expenditures and the depreciation and amortization related to capital expenditures, changes in working capital, discount rates, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions and the determination of appropriate comparable companies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual future results related to assumed variables could differ from these estimates.

Business Combinations

We utilize the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and allocate the purchase price of an acquisition to the various tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We primarily establish fair value using the income approach based upon a discounted cash flow model. The income approach requires the use of many assumptions and estimates including future revenues and expenses, as well as discount factors and income tax rates. Other estimates include:

While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business acquisition date, these estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the purchase price allocation period, which is generally no more than one year from the business acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Business combinations also require us to estimate the useful life of certain intangible assets that we acquire and this estimate requires significant judgment.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

Share-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Given that stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. We account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures.

Compensation cost for stock awards, which from time to time may include restricted stock units (“RSUs”), is measured at the fair value on the grant date and recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the related service period. The fair value of stock awards is based on the estimated fair value of our common stock on the grant date.

The estimated fair value of common stock option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions regarding future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, along with assumptions about the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends, all of which affect the estimated fair values of our common stock option awards. Given a lack of historical stock option exercises, the expected term of options granted is calculated as the average of the weighted vesting period and the contractual expiration date of the option. This calculation is based on a method permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instances where the vesting and exercise terms of options granted meet certain conditions and where limited historical exercise data is available. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the common stock of comparable public companies that operate in similar industries as us.

The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the expected term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected dividend assumption is based on our history and management’s expectation regarding dividend payouts.

Compensation expense for common stock option awards with graded vesting schedules is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the last separately vesting portion of the award, provided that the accumulated cost recognized as of any date at least equals the value of the vested portion of the award.

If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying vested or unvested stock-based awards, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense, or record additional expense for vested stock-based awards. Future stock-based compensation expense and unearned stock- based compensation may increase to the extent that we grant additional common stock options or other stock-based awards.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Index to Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

DecisionPoint Systems, Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue Recognition

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company may enter into contracts to sell their products and services that contain non-standard terms and conditions and multiple performance obligations. For such contracts, significant interpretation may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including the identification of all performance obligations, determination of when performance obligations are distinct and when they should be combined, allocation of the transaction price among performance obligations in the arrangement, the timing of the transfer of control of promised goods or services, and agent versus principal considerations.

Our assessment of management’s evaluation of the appropriate accounting for revenue recognition is significant to our audit because the revenue amounts are material to the consolidated financial statements, management’s assessment process involves significant judgment, and the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in this area is complex.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for customer contracts included the following:

Acquisition of Advanced Mobile Group, LLC

Critical Audit Matter Description

On January 31, 2022, the Company closed its acquisition of 100% of the members’ interest of Advanced Mobile Group, LLC (“AMG”) for net consideration of $5.1 million, including an earn-out obligation (the “Transaction”), as disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The transaction is accounted for as a business combination and the Company allocated $2.6 million of the acquisition purchase price to definite-lived intangible assets.

Auditing management’s allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired from AMG involved especially subjective and complex judgements due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of definite-lived intangible assets, including customer lists and relationships. The significant estimations related to the definite-lived intangible assets involve projections of future cash flows, discount rates, customer attrition rates, economic lives, and other factors.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal audit procedures related to testing management’s estimate of the fair values of definite-lived intangible assets acquired from AMG included evaluating the valuation methodology employed by the Company and testing the completeness and accuracy of key data supporting significant assumptions in the valuation model. For example, we compared the forecasted customer attrition rates to historical sales turnover data, and we tested the reasonableness of management’s projected sales and gross margins data by analyzing them against historical performance. 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.Equity Compensation Plan Information
