Significant estimates made by the Company include: 1) allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable (collectability); 2) contract liabilities (sales returns, and other variable considerations); 3) asset valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; 4) write-downs of inventory for slow-moving and obsolete items, and market valuations; and 5) stock-based compensation.

The Company has concluded that transfer of control of its hardware products transfers to the customer upon shipment or delivery, depending on December 31, 2016. Major usesthe delivery terms of cash werethe purchase agreement. Revenues from sales of hardware products are recognized at a $980 thousand losspoint in time upon transfer of control.
The Company sells software as a SaaS offering. The SaaS agreements are offered over a defined contract period, generally one year, and are sold to Internet service providers, who then promote the services to their subscribers. These services are available as an on-demand application over the defined term. The agreements include service offerings, which deliver applications and technologies via cloud-based deployment models that the Company develops functionality for, provides unspecified updates and enhancements for, and hosts, manages, provides upgrade and support for the ninecustomers access by entering into solution agreements for a stated period. The monthly fees charged to the customers are based on the number of subscribers utilizing the services each month, and the revenue recognized generally corresponds to the monthly billing amounts as the services are delivered.
Multiple Performance Obligations
During the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, a decrease of approximately $712 thousand in bank debt, an increase of approximately $380 thousand in inventory, and an increase of approximately $284 thousand in prepaid expenses. These were offset by an increase of approximately $1.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a decrease of approximately $394 thousand in accounts receivable, and a decrease of approximately $190 thousand in other assets.
After identifying the separate performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis (“SSP”). SSP’s are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the performance obligation is sold separately or using an adjusted market assessment. The estimated SSP of the Motorola brand, newhardware and SaaS offerings are directly observable from the sales of those products and software based on a range of prices.
Revenue is recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. In general, control of the hardware transfers to the customer at time of shipment or delivery while the SaaS offering is delivered over the service period. Revenue attributable to hardware products bundled with SaaS offerings are recognized at the time control of the product introductions, increased shelf space, growing online retailer sales,transfers to the customer. The transaction price allocated to the SaaS offering is recognized ratably beginning when the customer is expected to activate their account and international expansion.

Other considerations of ASC 606 include the following:
● Warranties - the Company does not provide separate warranty for purchase to meet itscustomers. Therefore, there is not a separate performance obligation. The Company does account for assurance-type warranties as a cost accrual and the warranties do not include any additional distinct services other than the assurance that the goods comply with agreed-upon specifications. The warranty reserve was not material at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
● Returned Goods - analyses of actual returned products are compared to the product return estimates and historically have resulted in immaterial differences. The Company has concluded that the current process of estimating the return reserve represents a fair measure to adjust revenue. Returned goods are a form of variable consideration and under Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The sales returns accrual was $1.3 million and $775 thousand at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
● Price protection - price protection provides that if the Company reduces the price on any products sold to the customer, the Company will guarantee an account credit for the price difference for all quantities of that product that the customer still holds. Price protection is variable and under Topic 606 is estimated and recognized as they becomea reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The price protection accrual was not material.
● Volume Rebates and Promotion Programs - volume rebates are variable dependent upon the volume of goods sold-through the Company’s customers to end-users and under Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The rebate and promotion accrual was $113 thousand and $384 thousand at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(c) Contingencies
The balanceCompany is party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates such lawsuits and proceedings on a case-by-case basis, and its policy is to vigorously contest any such claims which it believes are without merit.
On February 16, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the committed royalty expense for 2017 amountsCompany requesting the opportunity to $750,000review certain books and records of the Company to investigate the possibility of breaches of fiduciary duty by current and former members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s controlling stockholder in connection with his and his affiliates’ acquisition of majority control of the Company without compensating the Company’s minority stockholders and the acquisition by merger of Zoom Connectivity in which he held a substantial equity stake. The parties have been in negotiations with the counsel for the remaining quarterpurported stockholder to resolve this matter. The Company believes that the resolution of 2017.
On June 29, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company making a litigation demand driven in parton behalf of the Company and its stockholders to address certain alleged misconduct by the launchCompany’s Board of Motorola branded products, the Company has committed with North American Production Sharing, Inc. (“NAPS”) to extend its existing lease usedDirectors in connection with the Production Sharing Agreement (“PSA”)implementation of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation without having received proper stockholder approval thereof as required under Delaware corporation law. The letter demanded that the Board of Directors take immediate action to: deem the amendment ineffective and make appropriate disclosure of that fact and seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment; and adopt and implement adequate internal controls and systems at the Company designed to prohibit and prevent a recurrence of the circumstances. The letter requested a response or contact with the law firm on or before July 16, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Correction to void the previously filed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company filed an amendment to a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 22, 2021 and received the requisite stockholder approval of the amendment. On July 23, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to shares, consisting of shares of Common Stock and shares of Preferred Stock. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. It is also expected that the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will review the Company’s internal controls and systems and the circumstances described in the demand letter to determine if any additional actions are necessary to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances relating to the foregoing events. The Company anticipates that the law firm that sent the demand letter will seek recovery of attorneys’ fees relating to this matter. The ultimate amount of any such recovery could be material but is not presently ascertainable. The Company intends vigorously to defend against any such claim for recovery of legal fees. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.
The Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional information becomes available. If both of the criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses, that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of the loss cannot be made. Except for the matter disclosed above, at June 30, 2021, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, in management’s opinion, are currently expected to individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition taken as a whole. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.
In the ordinary course of its business, in addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with their business. Some of such additional proceedings include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to such additional legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and that the outcome of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

As shown in the table below, our net sales in North America increased in the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to prior years. Net sales outside North America decreased in the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to prior years. Generally, the Company’s lower sales outside North America reflect the fact that cable modems are sold successfully through retailers in the United States but not in most countries outside the United States, due primarily to variations in government regulations.

| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this Item.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer who is alsoand our Acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020. Based upon that evaluation and other than as disclosed herein, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
During our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
To remediate the material weakness described above, the Company instituted a process, which includes requiring the Company’s logistics firm to provide title transfer dates to the Company for in-transit inventory. The Company will timely record inventory and related liabilities based on the title transfer date, and a member of the finance department will review the Company records for completeness and accuracy. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed before the end of 2021.
Other than as disclosed herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
| ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On February 16, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company requesting the opportunity to review certain books and records of the Company to investigate the possibility of breaches of fiduciary duty by current and former members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s controlling stockholder in connection with his and his affiliates’ acquisition of majority control of the Company without compensating the Company’s minority stockholders and the acquisition by merger of Zoom Connectivity in which he held a substantial equity stake. The parties have been in negotiations with the counsel for the purported stockholder to resolve this matter. The Company believes that the resolution of this matter is likely to include the imposition of certain corporate governance restrictions, which would expand on current practices of the Company over a longer period of time than the standstill agreement currently in effect with the Company’s controlling stockholder, on the Company and the controlling stockholder and his affiliates and the payment of legal expenses. The matter is under negotiation and is subject to change based upon the negotiations and any other factors that may arise. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.
On June 29, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company making a litigation demand on behalf of the Company and its stockholders to address certain alleged misconduct by the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the implementation of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation without having received proper stockholder approval thereof as required under Delaware corporation law. The letter demanded that the Board of Directors take immediate action to: deem the amendment ineffective and make appropriate disclosure of that fact and seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment; and adopt and implement adequate internal controls and systems at the Company designed to prohibit and prevent a recurrence of the circumstances. The letter requested a response or contact with the law firm on or before July 16, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Correction to void the previously filed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company filed an amendment to a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 22, 2021 and received the requisite stockholder approval of the amendment. On July 23, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. It is also expected that the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will review the Company’s internal controls and systems and the circumstances described in the demand letter to determine if any additional actions are necessary to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances relating to the foregoing events. The Company anticipates that the law firm that sent the demand letter will seek recovery of attorneys’ fees relating to this matter. The ultimate amount of any such recovery could be material but is not presently ascertainable. The Company intends vigorously to defend against any such claim for recovery of legal fees. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.
In the ordinary course of business, in addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of such additional proceedings include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to such additional legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and that the outcome of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
