Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and these notes should be viewed in conjunction with Vislink Technologies, Inc.’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2023, which contains the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, a condensed consolidated balance sheet was prepared based on audited annual financial statements but did not include all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements whichinclude all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2023, as well as results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, as well as cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year, any other interim period, or any future period. Effective May 1, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-20 reverse stock split of the common stock. All per-share numbers reflect the one-for-20 reverse stock split. We have retroactively applied the reverse split throughout this quarterly report to all periods presented. The accounting policies of Vislink have not materially changed since December 31, 2022. Note 3 of Vislink’s 2022 annual report on Form 10-K provides detailed information about these policies.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of xGthe Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IMTsubsidiaries. The Company has eliminated all intercompany accounts and Vislink, since the date the acquisition of IMT and Vislink were completed. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.upon consolidating our subsidiaries.

Segment Reporting

OperatingThe Company identifies operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the operating decision makers,decision-makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions ondeciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s decision-making group is the senior executive management team. The Company and the decision-making group view the Company’s operations and manage its business as one operating segment.segment with different product offerings. All long-lived assets of the Company reside in the U.S.United States, United Kingdom, and U.K.the Netherlands.

Stock OptionsUse of Estimates

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock options. Compensation expense based on the grant date fair value is generally amortized over the requisite service periodpreparation of the award on a straight-line basis. The fair value of options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing modelunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility and expected term. The Company’smake estimates, of these assumptions are primarily based on historical data, judgment regarding future trends and factors.

Use of Estimates

Management makes estimatesjudgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, andstatements. These estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.periods. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, the useful lives of right-of-use assets, the useful lives of intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of warranty reserves, contingent consideration liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates, and assumptions include reserves and write-downs relatedany such differences may be material to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and debt discounts and the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisitions of IMT and Vislink.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from management and consulting, time-and-materials service contracts, maintenance agreements and other services are recognized as the services are provided or at the time the goods are shipped and title has passed.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents then outstanding. For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2017, potential common stock equivalents consist of 8,695,273 common stock warrants issuable upon their exercise and 6,270,500 common stock options. Under the treasury stock method, unexercised “in-the-money” stock options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds are then used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period and the excess number of options over the number of shares assumed to be repurchased is included in the total dilutive shares outstanding. There were 6,270,500 “in-the-money” stock options outstanding during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2017 but were not exercisable and such shares were excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 since they had an anti-dilutive effect. The common stock warrants were excluded as they were out of the money and had an anti-dilutive effect. There were no such participating securities outstanding during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, the Company estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use on unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs 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 are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below:

Level 1 –  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 –Observable prices that are 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.

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is typically the applicable local currency. The translation from the respective foreign currencies to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollars) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.

Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. The Company recognized a net foreign exchange loss of approximately $7,000 and $245,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the increase in accumulated comprehensive gain was approximately $114,000 and $462,000, respectfully.

The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange as quoted on OANDA, a Canadian-based foreign exchange company providing currency conversion, online retail foreign exchange trading, online foreign currency transfers, forex information and website. Translation of amounts from British Pounds into U.S. Dollars was made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

·As of September 30, 2017 – British Pounds $1.3391 to US $1.00, and

·For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 – British Pounds $1.2578 to US $1.00

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date theunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that no events or transactions are required to be disclosed herein, except as disclosed.statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company has considered additional new relevant accounting standards that are in effect through the date of these financial statements. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting standards that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments” (“ASU 2017-13”). ASU 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02. In preparation for the adoption of the new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019, the Company continues to evaluate contract terms and potential impacts of the five-step model specified by the new guidance. That five-step model includes: (1) determination of whether a contract, that is, an agreement between two or more parties that creates legally enforceable rights and obligations, exists; (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 performance obligation is satisfied. The Company anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective approach at adoption. The Company is currently evaluating individual customer contracts and will document changes, as needed, to our accounting policies and controls as we continue to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this standard. The results of our procedures to date indicate that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our net income; however, the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption on related financial statement disclosures.

In August 2017, ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”), was issued amending hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements, including elimination of the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, and eases certain documentation and assessment requirements. This standard has an effective date of January 1, 2019. We do not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Allowance for credit losses

Change in accounting principles

In July 2017,June 2016, the FASB issued ASUestablished Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives2016-13, which requires a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and Hedging (Topic 815)requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates, including accounts receivable.

The standard replaces the existing incurred credit loss model with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“ASU No. 2017-11”CECL”). ASU No. 2017-11 consists model. It is required to measure credit losses based on the Company’s estimate of two parts.expected losses rather than incurred losses, which generally results in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. Under ASC 326, the Company evaluates specific criteria, including aging and historical write-offs, the current economic condition of customers, and future economic conditions of countries utilizing a consumption index to determine the appropriate allowance for credit losses. The amendments in Part ICompany completed its assessment of ASU No. 2017-11e change the classification analysisnew standard and did not adjust the opening balance of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round featureretained earnings relating to its trade receivables. The Company writes off receivables once it is determined that they are no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted forcollectible, as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and local laws allow.

If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of ASU No. 2017-11 do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

Previously, the Company had disclosed management’s conclusion that substantial doubt existed as it related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. With the acquisition of Vislink, substantial doubt has been remediated by increased revenues and a reduction of expenses which improved the cash flow from operations for the period ended September 30, 2017. The Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow to fund operations for the next twelve months.

As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2017 of $208 million and a loss from operations of approximately $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company historically had been funding its business principally through debt and equity financings and advances from related parties. Cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were positively affected as a result of the acquisition of Vislink in February 2017 (See Note 3), along with management’s continual cost containment.

The ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services. If the Company is unable to close on some of its revenue producing opportunities in the near term, the carrying value its assets may be materially impacted. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the sellers of Vislink was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. The Company accounted for the Vislink acquisition as the purchase of a business under GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of the Company. The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $31.5 million. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets has been treated as a gain on bargain purchase in accordance with ASC 805. The purchase price allocation was based, in part, on management’s knowledge of Vislink’s business and the results of a third party appraisal commissioned by management. The third party appraisal commissioned by management was finalized during the second quarter which resulted in the modification of the fair values estimated of certain assets acquired as compared to the preliminary amounts previously reported.

The Company utilized the services of an independent appraisal company to assist it in assessing the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. This assessment included an evaluation of the fair value of inventory, fixed assets and the fair value of the intangible assets acquired based upon the expected cash flows from the assets acquired. Additionally, the Company incorporated the carrying value of the remaining working capital as Vislink’s management represented that the carrying value of these assets and liabilities served as a reasonable proxy for fair value. The valuation process included discussion with management regarding the history and business operations of Vislink, a study of the economic and industry conditions in which Vislink competes and an analysis of the historical and projected financial statements and other records and documents.

NOTE 36ACQUISITION OF VISLINK (continued)INVESTMENTS

When it became apparent there was a potential for a bargain purchase gain, management reviewed the Vislink assets and liabilities acquired and the assumptions utilized in estimating their fair values. Further revisions to the estimates were not deemed necessary and after identifying and valuing all assets and liabilities of the business, the Company concluded that recording a bargain purchase gain with respect to Vislink was appropriate and required under GAAP.

The Company then undertook a reviewused cash to determine what factors might contribute to a bargain purchase and if it was reasonable for a bargain purchase to occur. Factors that contributed to the bargain purchase price were:following debt instruments:

·On January 23, 2023, the Company purchased a bond, “HSBC USA INC CP,” with a face value of $5,065,789, a par value of $5,000,000, maturing October 24, 2023, a 5.1948% interest rate, at a discount of $253,289 totaling $4,812,500. The Vislink acquisitionvalue on June 30, 2023, was completed$4,910,000.
On February 1, 2023, the Company purchased a bond, “Federal Home Loan Banks,” with motivated sellers who had a public strategy to concentrateface value of $4,999,750 and accrued interest of $25,729, a par value of $5,000,000, maturing December 22, 2023, at an interest rate of 4.750%, totaling $5,025,479. The value on growing their software business as opposed to their technologyJune 30, 2023, was $4,981,000.
On February 28, 2023, the Company purchased a bond, “Federal National Mortgage Association,” with a face and hardware businesses. As a strategic decision, the sellers intended to sell off the assetspar value of the hardware business.$950,000, maturing February 28, 2024, at an interest rate of 5.07%, totaling $950,000. The value on June 30, 2023, was $946,000.

·The announcement of Brexit led to a decline in the pound, which led to pressure by Vislink’s creditors to raise funds. The owners of Vislink were motivated to complete a transaction in order to use the proceeds to reduce the line of credit they owed to the bank.

·The industry in 2015 and 2016 experienced a downturn as decreased spending combined with economic uncertainty caused corporations to delay wireless and broadcast infrastructure upgrades. The sellers believed these trends would continue. According to IBISWorld, industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualized rate of 0.6% over the next five years reflecting further deterioration in the industry. As a result, the sellers decided to sell the business.

·Prior to Brexit, Vislink was under contract to be sold for a much higher price. The Company took advantage of the economic and industry downturn to negotiate a favorable price which was less than the value of the assets acquired for a total purchase consideration of $16 million.

Based uponThe Company identified these factors,transactions as investments in debt security and will apply the guidance under ASC Topic 320, “Investments in debt securities,” and for interest income guidance under ASC Topic 310-20, “Receivables.” As of June 30, 2023, the abovementioned investments have a stated maturity of one year or less. Management intends to treat these investments as held to maturity.

NOTE 69DEBT ASSIGNMENTLEASES (continued)

In determining the appropriate accounting for the foregoing debt exchange, the Company considered many elements of the transaction, including whether or not the exchange resulted in a debt modification or extinguishment; the resulting accounting for transaction costs; the derecognition of the extinguished debt; and the appropriate recording of the newly issued debt instrument. The Company referred to the guidance in ASC 470 which indicates that from the debtor's perspective, an exchange of debt instruments between or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a non-troubled debt situation is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least ten percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. It is also noted in the literature that transactions between or among creditors do not result in a modification or exchange of the original debt instrument between the debtor and creditor. Accordingly, those transactions do not affect the accounting by the debtor, the carrying amount of the new note is not adjusted and the effects of the changes are to be reflected in future periods.

The three-month increase of $4.1 million is due to the inclusion of $3.6other current assets, offset by $0.4 million of general and administrative expenses as a result of the Vislink acquisition on February 2, 2017. The other increases during the three months were $0.4 million due to stock based compensation associated with the expensing of stock options; $0.3 million as the fair market value of the commitment shares issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for entering into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement; and $0.1 million in consulting expenses. The increases were offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in consulting fees associated with the Company’s listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Other increases during the nine months were $0.6 million due to in stock based compensation associated with the expensing of stock options; and $0.3 million as the fair market value of the commitment shares issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for entering into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

We expect general and administrative costs to increase going forward due to the acquisition of Vislink and IMT and the operations of such companies being included for a full year in the Company’s financial statements.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefit expenses and payroll taxes, as well as costs for prototypes, facilities and travel. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred aggregate expenses of $2.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $1.4 million, or 100%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $2.5 million, or 54%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The three-month increase of $1.4 million is due to the inclusion of $1.1 million of research and development expenses as a result of the acquisition of Vislink on February 2, 2017. The other increase during the three months was $0.4 million due to in stock based compensation associated with the expensing of stock options. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million with regards to payroll and insurance due to a reduction in legacy personnel.

The nine-month increase of $2.5 million is due to the inclusion of $2.7 million of research and development expenses as a result of the acquisition of Vislink on February 2, 2017. The other increase during the nine months was $0.6 million due to in stock based compensation associated with the expensing of stock options.

Amortization and Depreciation

Amortization and depreciation expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $1.1 and $3.3 million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 representing a decrease of $0.2 million, or 15%, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and a decrease of $0.8 million, or 20%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decreases are due to less amortization of intangible assets as the Company took further impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2016 leaving a smaller balance to amortize than for the comparative period in 2016.

Other

The changes in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.01 million and $(0.2) million, respectively. This is due to the changes in our stock price subsequent to these warrant issuances that resulted in an unrealized loss in the fair value of the derivative liabilities. 

The gain on bargain purchase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.0 million and $15.5 million, respectively, compared to $0.0 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The nine month gain on bargain purchase of $15.5 million is due to the Company’s acquisition of Vislink on February 2, 2017 compared to the gain on bargain purchase of $2.7 million which was due to the Company acquiring IMT on January 29, 2016. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets and identified intangible assets over the consideration paid has been treated as a gain on bargain purchase in accordance with ASC 805.

The Company utilized the services of an independent appraisal company to assist it in assessing the fair value of the Vislink assets and liabilities acquired. This assessment included an evaluation of the fair value of inventory, fixed assets and the fair value of the intangible assets acquired based upon the expected cash flows from the assets acquired. Additionally, the Company incorporated the carrying value of the remaining working capital, as Vislink’s management represented that the carrying value of these assets and liabilities served as a reasonable proxy for fair value. The valuation process included discussion with management regarding the history and business operations of Vislink, a study of the economic and industry conditions in which Vislink competes and an analysis of the historical and projected financial statements and other records and documents.

When it became apparent there was a potential for a bargain purchase gain, management reviewed the assets and liabilities acquired and the assumptions utilized in estimating their fair values. Further revisions to the estimates were not deemed necessary and after identifying and valuing all assets and liabilities of the business, the Company concluded that recording a bargain purchase gain with respect to Vislink was appropriate and required under GAAP.

The Company then undertook a review to determine what factors might contribute to a bargain purchase and if it was reasonable for a bargain purchase to occur. Factors that contributed to the bargain purchase price were:

·The Vislink acquisition was completed with motivated sellers who had a public strategy to concentrate on growing their software business as opposed to their technology and hardware businesses. As a strategic decision, the sellers intended to sell off the assets of the hardware business.

·The announcement of Brexit led to a decline in the pound, which led to pressure by Vislink’s creditors to raise funds. The owners of Vislink were motivated to complete a transaction in order to use the proceeds to reduce the line of credit they owed to the bank.

29

·The industry in 2015 and 2016 experienced a downturn as decreased spending combined with economic uncertainty caused corporations to delay wireless and broadcast infrastructure upgrades. The sellers believed these trends would continue. According to IBISWorld, industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualized rate of 0.6% over the next five years reflecting further deterioration in the industry. As a result, the sellers decided to sell the business.

·Prior to Brexit, Vislink was under contract to be sold for a much higher price. The Company took advantage of the economic and industry downturn to negotiate a favorable price which was less than the value of the assets acquired for a total purchase consideration of $16 million.

Based upon these factors, the Company concluded that the occurrence of a bargain purchase was reasonable.

The gain on debt and payables extinguishment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.01 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Of the $4.0 million, $2.9 million was a result of the Company coming to an agreement with the Sellers of Vislink, whereby the Company paid $2 million in cash and the Sellers extinguished the remaining $2.9 million principal amount owed. The $1.1 million was the result of receiving a credit for inventory that a customer consumed prior to the acquisition of Vislink, which the Company is now receiving a credit against outstanding invoices owed to that customer.

Other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.00 million and $0.25 million, respectively, compared to $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The $0.25 million represents the recording of a payment to the Sellers of Vislink, whereby if the Company received a payment on the sale to a specific customer, the Company would owe the Sellers 25% of such payment.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.05 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decreases were primarily due to the prior period recording of the 35% prepayment penalty recorded as interest on the conversion of the 8% Convertible Notes issued in June 2015 and July 2015 (the “8% Convertible Notes”) into the February 2016 financing; interest on the 5% Convertible Notes issued in January 2016 and 8% Convertible Notes; and interest on promissory notes with IMT and our Chief Executive Officer, George Schmitt.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $5.5 million and a net gain of $1.7 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, which is a decrease of $2.4 million and an increase of $13.5 million in net gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The increase in net gain is due mainly to the gain on bargain purchase associated with the acquisition of Vislink that closed on February 2, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had working capital of approximately $18.8 million, including $4.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company incurred net income of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement

On May 19, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Lincoln Park”). Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to $15,000,000 in shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time over the 30-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock issuable under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file such registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) business days of the execution of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company may, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 125,000 shares of common stock on any business day (such purchases, “Regular Purchases”), provided that at least one (1) business day has passed since the most recent Regular Purchase was completed, and in no event shall the amount of a single Regular Purchase exceed $1,000,000. The purchase price of Regular Purchases will be based on the prevailing market prices of the common stock, which shall be equal to the lesser of the lowest sale price of the common stock during the purchase date and the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of the Common Stock during the ten (10) business days prior to the purchase date. The Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or additional purchases if the closing sale price of the common stock is not below the threshold prices as set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for common stock under a Regular Purchase or an accelerated purchase.

In connection with its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 15, 2017, the Company did not receive stockholder approval, as required pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), to issue shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement in an amount equal to 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. As such, the Company will not be permitted to draw down the full $15,000,000 in shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement unless and until the Company receives such stockholder approval.

Under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to issue to Lincoln Park 192,431 shares of common stock as commitment shares in consideration for entering into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. The 192,431 shares of common stock were issued on September 11, 2017 with a fair market value of $302,000, which was included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

February 2017 Financing

On February 14, 2017, the Company completed a public underwritten offering of 1,750,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,312,500 shares of its common stock. The Company received $3,500,000 in gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting the associated underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Aegis Capital Corp. acted as sole book-running manager for the offering.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming we can continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations through realization of assets, and the settling of liabilities in the normal course of business. Previously, we disclosed management’s conclusion that substantial doubt existed as it related to our ability to continue as a going concern. With the acquisition of Vislink, substantial doubt has been remediated by increased revenues and a reduction of expenses which improved the cash flow from operations for the period ended September 30, 2017. We believe we will have sufficient cash flow to fund operations for the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not requiredJune 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to provide the information required by this Item.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, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosureDisclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officerprincipal executive officer and Chief Financial Officerprincipal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that asthe effectiveness of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by usas of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, as such term is defined in reports we file or submitRules 13a-15I and 15d-15I under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarizedAct. In their assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, management concluded that such control was ineffective and reported withinthat there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses because (i) we currently do not employ the time periods specifiedappropriate number of accounting personnel to ensure (a) we maintain proper segregation of duties, (b) conduct a tolerable risk assessment, and (ii) we have not adequately documented a complete assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting. Considering these material weaknesses, we performed additional procedures and analyses as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management has engaged a third-party consultant to identify and document our internal control deficiencies and assess current controls and recommendations regarding remediation efforts to eliminate or mitigate the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to ourcontrol deficiencies.

Notwithstanding the material weakness as of June 30, 2023, management, including the Certifying Officers, believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report filing fairly present, in all material respect, our Chief Executive Officerfinancial condition, results of operations, and Chiefcash flows for the fiscal period presented in conformity with GAAP.

Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Officer,Reporting

Although we have continued our remediation efforts in connection with identified material weaknesses, the material weakness, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Specifically,discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the yearperiod ended December 31, 2016,2022, has not been fully remediated. As we identifiedcontinue to remediate the material weaknessesweakness in our internal control over financial reporting as a result of the lack of corporate accounting personnel necessarycontrols, we have made changes during our most recently completed fiscal quarter to maintain adequate segregation of duties, insufficient resources to hire additional accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of U.S. GAAP, and not properly performing an effective risk assessment or monitoring of our internal controls, over financial reporting. Asincluding changes to enhance the supervisory review of September 30, 2017, we concluded that certain of these material weaknesses continued to exist.

In 2016our accounting procedures. Notwithstanding the continuing and 2017, the Company has made substantial progress to eliminate theun-remediated material weakness, as it relates to segregationmanagement, including the Certifying Officers, believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of duties throughoperations, and cash flows for the hiring of an SEC reporting consultant to support the Vice President of Finance, the acquisition of accounting personnelfiscal periods presented in the IMT acquisitionthis Quarterly Report in January 2016 and the Vislink acquisition in February 2017 and the recent hiring of additional accounting personnel who are able to assist in supporting the Company’s accounting department. With the addition of these added resources, the Company believes it has eliminated the material weakness as it relates to its segregation of duties. The Company is continuing to further remediate its remaining material weaknesses as its resources permit.conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting except as disclosed above.

Relocating a division from the United Kingdom (U.K.) to the United States (U.S.) can be complex and challenging. Some of the Exchange Act, wekey risks involved in our relocation process are not requiredas follows:

1. Economic Factors:

Relocating a division from the U.K. to provide the information required by this Item.U.S. entails significant economic risks including:

a) Currency Fluctuations: Changes in exchange rates between the British pound and the U.S. dollar can impact the financial stability of the relocated division. Fluctuations can affect costs, revenue, and profitability, potentially leading to financial losses.

b) Tax Implications: Differences in tax laws, regulations, and incentives between the U.K. and the U.S. may result in unexpected financial burdens, compliance requirements, or penalties.

2. Operational Factors:

Relocating a division involves various operational risks including:

a) Workforce Disruption: The relocation process may cause significant disruption to the existing workforce. Issues such as employee attrition, loss of key talent, and difficulties in hiring and training new staff can impact productivity and overall operational efficiency.

b) Supply Chain Disruptions: Relocating a division can disrupt established supply chains, leading to delays, increased costs, and potential customer dissatisfaction.

3. Legal and Regulatory Factors:

Relocating a division across international borders requires compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. Key legal and regulatory risk factors include employment law matters. We will need to navigate the differences between U.K. and U.S. employment laws, including hiring, firing, and employee benefits regulations. Failure to comply with these laws can result in legal disputes, reputational damage, and financial liabilities.

Further, our inability to manage the relocation of our U.K. operations to the U.S. effectively may result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, give rise to operational mistakes, loss of business opportunities, loss of employees, and reduced productivity among remaining employees, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.
