NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In
thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts or as otherwise disclosed)
NOTE
1 —The Company and its significant accounting policies
Description
of Business —Sonim Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONM) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 5, 1999, and is headquartered
in San Diego, California. The Company is a leading U.S. provider of ultra-rugged mobile phones and accessories designed specifically for task
workers physically engaged in their work environments, often in mission-critical roles.
On
September 15, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-10 stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding
shares of common stock on that date. Additionally, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding stock
options and restricted stock units, the exercise price of all of its outstanding stock options, and the number of shares of common stock
reserved for future issuance pursuant to its equity compensation plans were adjusted proportionately in connection with the Reverse Stock
Split. The number of authorized shares of common stock under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
the par value per share of its common stock were unchanged. All historical share and per share amounts presented herein have been adjusted
retrospectively to reflect these changes.
Liquidity
and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern – The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements
account for the continuation of our business as a going concern. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated
with the development and release of new products. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of September 30, 2022,
consist of existing cash and cash equivalents totaling $15,474.
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company raised $17,500
by selling common stock to an investor (see Note 7), netting approximately $14,370 after costs. The Company had current assets of
$39,177 and current
liabilities of $23,813.
The Company had a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $1,608
and the company may need significant cash to expand their product line into the durable consumer market for research and development
expenses and marketing. There are significant costs associated with new product development and there is a need for sales volume of
the new model of our rugged product for the consumer market to produce cash for further growth. If the sales of the new product fall
short of our expectations, then the Company may need additional cash to meet its growth objectives. This raises substantial doubt
regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of
these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
To
alleviate a potential lack of liquidity, management is currently evaluating various funding alternatives
and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities, through arrangements with strategic
or investment partners with greater resources or access to funds or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions.
As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to us on favorable terms
or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including
market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry.
Basis
of presentation and preparation
The
Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Sonim Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Sonim” or the
“Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management,
the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair
financial statement presentation. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2021.
Out
of period adjustment
During
the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an out of period adjustment of approximately $1.05 million related to
software costs for the XP10 smartphone that were expensed as part of research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2022
and should have been capitalized. The impact of this adjustment is a $1.05 million decrease to research and development expenses in
the third quarter of 2022. After the adjustment, research and development expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2022 are
correct and capitalized non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs that are included in other assets are correct as of September 30, 2022.
New
accounting pronouncements:
Pronouncements
adopted in 2022:
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842), as amended, which requires lessees to recognize a liability associated with obligations to make payments under
the terms of the arrangement in addition to a right-of-use asset representing the lessee’s right to use, or to control the use
of the given asset assumed under the lease. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording
of right-of-use assets, lease liability, and the derecognition of deferred lease liabilities, with the offset to equity. Beginning in
2022, the Company records the amortization of the right-of-use assets, with a corresponding reduction in rent expense. These changes
were not applied to periods prior to 2022 and make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements between periods
difficult or impossible because of the differences in accounting standards used. See Note 5 for further information.
NOTE
2 —Revenue recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of products, which are primarily mobile phones, tablets, and related accessories,
and the majority of the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, namely the delivery of product. A performance
obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account for
revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company
also recognizes revenue from other contracts that may include a combination of products and non-recurring engineering (NRE) services
or from the provision of solely NRE services. Where there is a combination of products and NRE services, the Company accounts for the
promises as individual performance obligations if they are concluded as distinct. Performance obligations are considered distinct if
they are both capable of being identified and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations
meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as the degree of interrelation and interdependence
between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract.
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not have any contracts in which the products
and NRE services were concluded to be a single performance obligation. In certain cases, the Company may offer tiered pricing based on
volumes purchased for specific products. To date, all tiered pricing provisions have fallen into observable ranges of pricing to existing
customers, thus, not resulting in any material right which could be concluded as its own performance obligation. In addition, the Company
does not offer material post-contract support services to its customers.
Net
revenue for an individual contract is recognized at the related transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled
to in exchange for transferring the goods and/or services. The transaction price for product sales is calculated as the product selling
price, net of variable consideration, which may include estimates for marketing development funds, sales incentives, and price protection
and stock rotation rights. The Company records reductions to net revenues related to future product returns based on the Company’s
expectations and historical experience. Typically, variable consideration does not need to be constrained as estimates are based on specific
contract terms. However, the Company continues to assess variable consideration estimates such that it is probable that a significant
reversal of revenue will not occur. The transaction price for a contract with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate
performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices for products are determined based on
the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable. Standalone selling price of the professional services are mostly based
on time and materials. The Company determines its estimates of variable consideration based on historical collection experience with
similar payor classes, aged accounts receivable by payor class, terms of payment agreements, correspondence from payors related to revenue
audits or reviews, the Company’s historical settlement activity of audited and reviewed claims and current economic conditions
using the portfolio approach. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative
amount recognized will not occur in future periods.
Revenue
is then recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware
is recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present
right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers.
For most of the Company’s revenue attributable to hardware, control transfers when products are shipped. Revenue attributable to
professional services is recognized as the Company performs the professional services for the customer.

Smartphone
sales were lower in the third quarter of 2022 as the Company discontinued production and sale of its legacy smartphone product in anticipation
of the launch of its new smartphone products in the fourth quarter of 2022. In the third quarter, the Company recognized revenue for
the first time from a new and incrementally profitable tablet product line, which it developed and manufactured as an ODM for a third
party.
Shipping
and handling costs
The
Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise
to transfer the associated products. These costs are included in cost of revenues.
Distributor
returns allowance
The
Company records reductions to net revenues related to future distributor product returns based on the Company’s expectation. The
Company had allowances for distributor product returns totaling approximately $67 and $300 as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Contract
costs
Applying
the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred when the amortization
period of the assets that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expenses.
The
non-recurring costs
associated with design and development of new products for technical approval, represent costs to fulfill a contract pursuant
to ASC 340-40 Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes these
non-recurring engineering costs and amortizes such costs over the estimated period of time over which they are expected to be recovered,
which is typically 4 years, the estimated life of a particular model phone.
The
total capitalized costs to fulfill a contract is primarily associated with Company’s XP3plus, XP5plus, and XP10 phones. As of September
30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the total costs to fulfill a contract included in other assets were $1,682 and $2,345, respectively.
Contract
balances
The
Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash
payments are received or due in advance of performance. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and deferred revenue, where
the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations. Contract liabilities are presented as a component of deferred revenue on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the contract liabilities were $266 and $11, respectively.
NOTE
3 —Fair value measurement
The
fair value measurements standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level
3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the standard are described below:
Level
1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the
Company has the ability to access.
Level
2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
|
● |
Quoted
market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Inputs
that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If
the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the
asset or liability.
Level
3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The
assets or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that
is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs.
The
following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There have been no
changes in the methodologies used at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Money
market funds are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.
The
methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future
fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants,
the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different
fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The
following tables sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets at fair value:

NOTE
5 —Leases
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2022. The Company elected to use “the effective date” method where the comparative
reporting periods is unchanged from legacy US GAAP. The Company elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess the classifications
of existing leases and to not reassess if initial direct costs qualify for capitalization. The Company identified and continued to classify
six leases as operating leases at January 1, 2022. All of the Company’s leases are for office space. The Company has elected the
practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all leases.
At
adoption of ASC 842, the Company determined the fair value of the lease liability for each of the four operating leases (excluding the
short-term leases) as the net present value of future lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 8.5%. The
incremental borrowing rate was determined by management as the interest rate that the Company would pay for a loan with a repayment stream
that is the same as the lease payment stream and for a loan that is secured by the underlying lease assets. The Company determined that
the incremental rate was 8.5% for all four leases at January 1, 2022. An ROU asset that represents the Company’s right to use the
leased asset, was established at adoption for the same amount as the lease liability. Per ASC 842, ROU assets were reduced by $142 with
the derecognition of deferred lease liabilities from December 31, 2021.
One
of the Company’s ROU assets is part of an asset group that had indicators of impairment (sublease income that is significantly
less than the head lease obligation) as of December 31, 2021 and accordingly subject to an impairment analysis under ASC 360 at that
time. At December 31, 2021 the amount of leasehold improvements and other recorded assets related to the asset group were not significant
and as a result no impairment was required prior to adoption of ASC 842; however, had the recorded assets of the group at December 31,
2021 been significant an impairment charge would have been required. Upon adoption of ASC 842 and the recording of the ROU asset within
this asset group, the Company reassessed impairment under ASC 360. As a result of this assessment, it was determined that as of the adoption
date the fair value of the asset group was less than the recorded carrying value upon adoption and an impairment related to the ROU asset
of $978 was required. Since all impairment conditions and events were present at December 31, 2021 as well as the adoption date, the
Company recognized the impairment of $978 as an adjustment to beginning of the year retained earnings upon the adoption date.
The
Company entered into a sublease for the above property in September 2021 that had sublease income that was significantly less than the
head lease payments. This sublease is for 13 months which, at the option of the subtenant, can be extended for 12 additional months.
In determining the fair value of the ROU asset, the Company assumed that the subtenant will extend the lease because the sublease payments
are less than market value. The Company determined that the fair value of the ROU asset as the sum of the sublease payments for the 25
months of the sublease. The Company is amortizing this ROU asset as sublease payments are received. On August 31, 2022, the Company entered
into an agreement with the landlord to cancel the head lease for $260 in consideration paid by the Company to the landlord. On August
31, 2022 the Company derecognized the remaining lease liability and ROU asset. This resulted in a $730 gain on the termination of the
lease. The sublease was terminated when the head lease was terminated.
The
Company elected the practical expedient for short-term leases for two leases that had terms of one year or less. ROU assets and lease
liabilities were not established for these two short-term leases and rent payments are recorded as rent expense.
On
January 1, 2022 the Company began recording all lease payments as the payment of lease interest expense and a reduction of the lease
liability for the four leases that are not short-term. ROU assets are amortized over the life of the Company’s lease. The following
table shows the activity of the ROU assets and lease liability for the nine months ending on September 30, 2022:

In
connection with leases, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $431
for the amortization of ROU assets, $95
for interest expense on lease liabilities, and no rent expense that was included in Cost of Revenues. Variable lease payments,
including reimbursements to the landlord for property taxes and operating expenses, of approximately $134
and short-term rent payments of $11
were included in rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and were offset by $80
in sublease income. The Company does not have any lease extension or termination options on any lease. There are no
residual value guarantees in any lease. The weighted average remaining lease term of the operating leases is approximately 0.5
years. The weighted average of the discount rate for both the discount rate used to calculate the lease liabilities and the
remaining balance of the lease payments for each lease as of September 30, 2022 is 8.5%.
NOTE
6 —Long-Term Debt
In
2014 and 2017, the Company entered into agreements with one of its suppliers, whereby certain of its trade payables for royalties and
royalty up-front payments were converted to payment plans. In December 2018, the Company amended its accounts payable financing agreements,
effective January 1, 2019, which provides for the $736 outstanding balance to be paid in twenty equal quarterly installments. The amounts
due under these agreements are paid in quarterly installments over periods from two to four years, with interest ranging up to 8%. Remaining
balances are $184 and $214 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
NOTE
7 —Stockholders Equity
On
April 13, 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with AJP Holding Company,
LLC (“AJP”) whereby, subject to the terms thereof, AJP agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 20,833,333 shares
of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchased Shares”) for a purchase price of $0.84 per share, for an aggregate purchase
price of $17.5 million.
Pursuant
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, the Purchased Shares were issued in two tranches: (i) 14,880,952
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Shares”) was issued in consideration for an aggregate purchase price
of $12.5 million (“First Closing”) and (ii) 5,952,381 shares will be issued for an aggregate purchase of $5.0 million.
The
first closing was completed on July 13, 2022 and the second closing was completed on August 8, 2022.
In
connection with the closings, the Company incurred approximately $3,130 of expenses which was offset against the proceeds in the third
quarter of 2022.
Upon
completion of the transaction, AJP controlled approximately 52% of Sonim’s post-transaction outstanding common stock. The agreement with AJP will also include a transition of the management
team and the Company’s Executive Vice President for Global Operations and Engineering, who was appointed as Chief Executive Officer,
effective April 14, 2022. The CEO is affiliated with the investment group at AJP. The Company continued to use the historical basis of
assets and liabilities following the transaction.
On
July 13, 2022, Robert Tirva, the CFO and President of the Company, resigned and became eligible for $1 million in severance payments
over 20 months, plus certain health insurance benefits, if he meets certain requirements. The severance costs were charged to expense
as of the severance date. On September 30, 2022, approximately $1.2 million in severance costs that were triggered by the AJP transaction
were included in accrued expenses. On July 13, 2022, the Company appointed Clay Crolius as Chief Financial Officer.
On
July 13, 2022 two of the Company’s Board Members resigned and the remaining Board of Directors appointed three new Board Members,
including a representative of AJP. On July 14, 2022 the Board of Directors appointed two additional Board Members including Peter Liu,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

NOTE
9 —Income Taxes
In
determining quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses the annual estimated effective tax rate applied to the actual year-to-date
profit or loss, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. The Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate differs
from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of state taxes, foreign taxes, and changes in the Company’s valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded provisions for
income taxes of $72 and $90, respectively.
NOTE
10 —Commitments and Contingencies
The
terms and conditions of applicable bylaws, certificates or articles of incorporation, agreements or applicable law may obligate Sonim
under certain circumstances to indemnify its current and former directors, officers or employees, and underwriters, with respect to certain
of the matters described below and Sonim has been advancing legal fees and costs to certain current and former directors, officers, employees
and underwriters in connection with certain matters describe below.
Third
Party Designer Commitments—The aggregate amount of noncancelable outsourced third-party designer services for our next generation
phones as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was approximately $1,250 and $6,460, respectively, and were related to the XP5plus
and the XP10.
Purchase
Commitments—The aggregate amount of noncancelable purchase orders as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was approximately
$9,400 and $5,663, respectively, and are related to the purchase of components of our devices.
Royalty
Payments— The Company is required to pay per unit royalties to wireless essential patent holders and other providers of integrated
technologies on mobile devices delivered, which, in aggregate, amount to less than 5% of net revenues associated with each unit and expire
between 2022 and 2026. Royalty expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $964 and $1,369, respectively and is
included in Cost of Revenues. The Company may be required to pay additional royalties to additional patent holder and technology providers
on future products.
Securities
and Exchange Commission Formal Order of Private Investigation: In March 2020, the Company received a voluntary document request from
the SEC San Francisco Regional office, and in August 2020, the Company was informed that the SEC Staff was conducting a formal investigation
into events that occurred in 2018-2019. The Company has been cooperating in the SEC’s ongoing investigation. In October 2021, the
Company and the SEC Staff began discussions regarding a potential resolution of the investigation. These discussions are ongoing. The
Company is unable to predict the likely outcome of the investigation, including whether it can be resolved through settlement negotiations,
or determine its potential impact, if any, on the Company.
Derivative
litigation—On September 21, 2020, the Company, and certain of its current and former directors and officers were sued by a
stockholder on behalf of our Company in a derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned
Kusiak v. Plaschke, et al., Case No 20-cv-1270-MN (“Kusiak”). The Kusiak complaint was based largely on the same underlying
factual allegations as the ’33 Act Federal Action. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Kusiak derivative action based on
plaintiff’s failure to make a litigation demand on Sonim’s directors. On February 1, 2021, plaintiff in Kusiak voluntarily
dismissed the action without prejudice.
On
February 1, 2021, the same plaintiffs’ lawyers in the Kusiak action filed a new derivative action in the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware against the Company and certain of its current and former directors and officers, captioned Gupta
v. Plaschke, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-130-MN (“Gupta”). The allegations in the Gupta complaint are generally similar to those
in the Kusiak action. On March 29, 2022, Judge Dawson granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss and gave the plaintiff 14 days to file
an amended complaint. No amended complaint was filed and on April 14, 2022 the federal court dismissed the action with prejudice.
General
litigation—The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company
does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.
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 time and resources and other factors.
Indemnification—Under
the terms of its agreements with wireless carriers and other partners, the Company has agreed to provide indemnification for intellectual
property infringement claims related to Company’s product sold by them to their end customers. From time to time, the Company receives
notices from these wireless carriers and other partners of a claim for infringement of intellectual property rights potentially related
to their products. These infringement claims have been settled, dismissed, have not been further pursued by the customers, or are pending
for further action by the Company.
Contingent
severance obligations—The Company has agreements in place with certain key employees (Executive Severance Arrangements) guaranteeing
severance payments under certain circumstances. Generally, in the event of termination by the Company without cause, termination due
to death or disability, or resignation for good reason, the Company is obligated to the pay the employees in accordance to the terms
of the agreements. On July 13, 2022, Robert Tirva, the CFO and President of the Company, resigned and became eligible for $1 million
in severance payments, plus certain health insurance benefits, over 20 months if he meets certain requirements. The severance costs were
charged to expense as of the severance date. On September 30, 2022, approximately $1.2 million in severance costs that were triggered
by the AJP transaction were included in accrued expenses. On July 13, 2022, the Company appointed Clay Crolius as Chief Financial Officer.
The
Board of Directors approved annual bonus payments to certain executives for the 2021 year in January 2022, and payments in cash and stock
were made in January and February of 2022 to the executives.

NOTE
13 —Subsequent Events
On October 26, 2022, our
stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended that would effect
a reverse stock split whereby a number of outstanding shares of our common stock between and including two (2) and fifteen (15), such
number consisting only of whole shares, will be combined into one share of our common stock. The effectiveness of the reverse stock split
or the abandonment of the reverse stock split will be determined by the Board in its discretion. If the Board chooses to effect the reverse
stock split, it will set the timing and specific ratio from the range approved by the stockholders.
