NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations and financial position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2023 or any other period. The amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the tables in the notes hereto, of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, are presented in United States dollars and are rounded in thousands with the exception of share and per share data. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on December 7, 2023.

Effective February 10, 2023, the Company enacted a 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the “2023 Split”) of the Company’s common stock. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes give effect to the reverse stock split as if it occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

Correction of an Error

See Note 20 - Correction of an Error.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of the valuation of stock-based compensation; the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired; the valuation of the Company’s equity securities issued in transactions; the valuation of inventory; the allowance for credit losses; the valuation of equity securities; the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill.

Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. This accounting standard requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

COMSOVEREIGN HOLDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an entity over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. As of June 30, 2023, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value was below its carrying amount due to a decline in the Company’s market capitalization. Accordingly, it was not necessary to perform impairment testing as of June 30, 2023. However, please see Note 20 – Correction of an Error for details related to the recognition of additional 2022 impairment expense.

In determining whether a quantitative assessment is required, the Company will evaluate relevant events or circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after performing the qualitative assessment, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would perform the quantitative impairment test described in ASC 350. However, if, after applying the qualitative assessment, the entity concludes that it is not more than likely that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is not required. The Company bases these assumptions on its historical data and experience, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations.

The Company calculates the estimated fair value of a reporting unit using a weighting of the income and market approaches and compares it to the carrying values. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company uses internal analyses based primarily on market comparables. The Company bases these assumptions on its historical data and experience, third party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

Discontinued Operations

On June 21, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Sovereign Plastics business unit to TheLandersCompanies LLC for total consideration of $2.0 million in a secured note with interest of 5% and a maturity date of May 31, 2025. The results of Sovereign Plastics are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as income from discontinued operations, net of tax (see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for additional information).

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

On March 20, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Sky Sapience business unit to Titan Innovations Ltd. for total consideration of $1.8 million. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of Sky Sapience are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale”, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 (see Note 3 –Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for additional information).

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs 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 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement) as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market corroborated inputs.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability being measured. These inputs may be used with standard pricing models or other valuation or internally-developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements primarily in conjunction with the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In addition, certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. In general, nonfinancial assets including goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

As allowed by applicable FASB guidance, the Company has elected not to apply the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities to any of its currently eligible financial assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The Company has determined that the book value of its outstanding financial instruments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximated their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Reportable Segments and Reporting Units

A reporting unit (“RU”) is a component of an operating segment that is a business activity for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company’s legal operating subsidiaries are not organized to qualify as individual segments, however, each operating entity had separate financial information and an operating manager, who oversees the business and financial activities, reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Therefore, during 2022, the Company operated as one reportable segment and each legal entity was deemed to be a separate reporting unit.

As of January 1, 2023, the Company began operating as a single reporting unit. As part of the Company’s restructuring, the Company integrated its previously separate reporting units, including employing a single integrated sales function, and the Chief Executive Officer is managing the Company and making decisions based on the Company’s consolidated operating results.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 requires use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In October 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Effective Dates”, to finalize the effective date delays for private companies, not-for-profits, and smaller reporting companies applying the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) standards. The ASU is now effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On March 20, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Sky Sapience business unit to Titan Innovations Ltd. for total consideration of $1.8 million. The sale of Sky Sapience didn’t qualify for discontinued operations presentation because the sale didn’t represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations (the Company will continue to be in the drone business). Sky Sapience’s assets and liabilities met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2022 as follows:

Upon the completion of the sale of SKS during the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a gain on sale of $0.5 million which consisted of total liabilities assumed of $2.5 million, an obligation receivable of $0.6 million, and cash proceeds of $0.5 million, partially offset by total assets acquired of $3.0 million and closing costs in connection with the sale to a consultant of $0.1 million. See Note 12 – Note and Obligation Receivable.

NOTE 4 GOING CONCERN

U.S. GAAP requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance and to provide related note disclosures in certain circumstances.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had cash flows used in operations of $0.1 million and had an accumulated deficit of $301.8 million and a working capital deficit of $15.2 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund growth initiatives. Based on current cash on hand and subsequent activity as described herein (see Note 21 – Subsequent Events – Debt and Equity Developments), the Company presently only has enough cash on hand to operate on a month-to-month basis, without raising additional capital or selling assets. Because of the Company’s limited cash availability, its operations have been scaled back to the extent possible (see Note 19 – Other Business Developments – Business Developments). Management continues to explore opportunities with third parties and related parties; however, it has not entered into any agreement to provide the necessary additional capital, except as disclosed herein.

The Company will continue to pursue the actions outlined above, as well as work towards increasing revenue and operating cash flows to meet its future liquidity requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising or profit-enhancing efforts that it may undertake, and these planned actions do not alleviate the substantial doubt. If the Company is not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to further delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, it could be forced to discontinue operations, liquidate assets and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code. Determining the extent to which conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the extent to which mitigating plans sufficiently alleviate any such substantial doubt requires significant judgment and estimation by the Company. The Company makes assumptions that management’s plans will be effectively implemented but may not alleviate substantial doubt and its ability to continue as a going concern.

Contract Balances

The Company records contract assets when it has a right to consideration and records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities consist of cash payments received (or unconditional rights to receive cash) in advance of fulfilling performance obligations. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have a material contract assets balance.

The following table is a summary of the Company’s opening and closing balances of contract liabilities related to contracts with customers.

(Amounts in thousands)	Total
Balance at December 31, 2022	$	3,384
New invoices not yet earned		9
Revenue earned		(1,870	)
Balance at June 30, 2023	$	1,523

Of the $3.4 million contract balance as of December 31, 2022, $1.9 million was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in the remaining contract balance of $1.5 million, which will be recognized as revenue when the Company meets the performance obligation, the timing of which is uncertain at this time.

NOTE 6 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company accounts for earnings or loss per share pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants for each period.

Potential common shares issuable to employees, non-employees and directors upon exercise or conversion of shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss attributable to common shareholders. Stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of these instruments is greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period (out-of-the-money), regardless of whether the Company is in a period of net loss attributable to common shareholders.

The following weighted-average potential common shares were excluded from the diluted loss per common share as their effect was anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

	June 30,
	2023		2022
Options		24,954		63,341
Warrants		115,899		128,149
Convertible notes⁽¹⁾		217,530		45,668
		358,383		237,158

⁽¹⁾

The potentially dilutive shares associated with convertible notes were calculated based on the conditions as of the calculation date.

NOTE 7 CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

Cash is represented by operating accounts or money market accounts maintained with insured financial institutions, including cash equivalents, defined as all short-term, highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, $195,000 of restricted cash was released upon the sale of a building (see Note 11 – Property and Equipment, Net for additional information related to the sale of the building). The remaining $47,000 was released upon the abandonment of overseas equipment leases and $35,000 was transferred in the sale of Sky Sapience.

Debt activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023 included the following:

For Note E, $100,000 of penalties and interest were capitalized into principal during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of annual compounding.

For Note F, on March 14, 2023, the Company amended Note F to extend the maturity date to July 29, 2024 with an interest rate of 8% and the ability to convert principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 10% discount to the closing price on which the conversion is elected effective September 15, 2023. In addition, the note became secured with a second priority security interest on the assets of its Lighter Than Air Systems Corp. (d/b/a Drone Aviation Corp) business and agreed to extend the term of the advisory agreement pursuant to the original note for an additional two years and issue an additional 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per year while the note is outstanding. On April 13, 2023, the Company issued 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a grant date value of $28,080 to the advisor pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement as consideration for their services.

For Note K, on January 17, 2023, the Company sold an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $90,000, which was due on or before July 30, 2023. Of the $90,000 of proceeds from the first note, usage of $88,000 is restricted to make interest payments due to certain holders of Note M. The note becomes immediately due and payable if the Company raises at least $2.5 million in an equity or debt offering and will accrue 8% interest per annum, which increases to 15% per annum if the note isn’t repaid by the maturity date. The issuance of a second note (Note L) made the principal and accrued interest of both notes convertible if they aren’t repaid by the maturity date and the conversion price will equal 81% of the closing market price of the common stock on the day that the holder elects to convert the note(s), subject to a floor price of $5.00 per share. The Company did not repay the note on maturity and therefore the note became convertible as of the maturity date and is in default.

For Note L, on February 1, 2023, the Company sold an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $80,000, which was due on or before August 1, 2023. The note becomes immediately due and payable if the Company raises at least $2.5 million in an equity or debt offering and accrues 8% interest per annum, which increases to 15% per annum if the note isn’t repaid by the maturity date. The issuance of this note made the principal and accrued interest of Note K convertible if they aren’t repaid by the maturity date and the conversion price will equal 81% of the closing market price of the common stock on the day that the holder elects to convert the note(s), subject to a floor price of $5.00 per share. The Company did not repay the note on maturity and therefore the note became convertible as of the maturity date and is in default.

For Note M, on May 24, 2022, the Company received notice from counsel for holders of $11.2 million of convertible promissory notes issued in connection with the acquisition of FastBack that the Company had failed to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K in a timely manner, as required by the terms of the convertible promissory notes. While the note holders have the right to accelerate the maturity of the principal, the notice simply indicated that the holders were reserving their rights. On January 20, 2023, the Company paid cash for interest in the amount of $75,985. In addition, during January 2023, pursuant to a limited time offer, certain note holders agreed to amend their note and convert an aggregate of $1.3 million principal of their notes and $0.3 million of accrued interest into 280,625 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a limited time offer for conversions at a discounted rate of 81% of the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day special conversion notices were received. As a result of the conversions, which were recorded using inducement accounting, the Company recognized a $1.9 million loss on inducement of debt conversions, which is included in income from continuing operations in the income statement, which represents the fair value of the 280,625 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the limited time offer, less the fair value of the 3,068 shares of common stock that would have been issuable pursuant to the original terms of the convertible notes. Interest is being accrued at the 15.0% default rate during 2023.

Certain agreements governing the secured notes payable, unsecured notes payable, and unsecured convertible notes payable contain customary covenants, such as limitations on liens, dispositions, mergers, entry into other lines of business, investments and the incurrence of additional indebtedness.

All debt agreements are subject to customary events of default. If an event of default occurs with respect to the debt agreements and is continuing, the lenders may accelerate the applicable amounts due. The Company is in default on several debt agreements and has accrued the proper penalties or disclosed any additional contingencies that resulted from the default.

Future maturities contractually required by the Company under long-term debt obligations are as follows as of June 30, 2023:

Nasdaq Compliance Developments

Throughout most of 2022, our common stock was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement. We were given grace periods and regained compliance on or about February 27, 2023, by having the closing bid price of our common stock exceed $1.00 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive trading days during the grace period by implementing a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock on February 10, 2023.

On February 27, 2023, the Company regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement (“minimum bid price”) price of the Company’s common stock following the successful filing of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022 pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports (“filing requirements”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

On March 31, 2023, the Company filed a notice of late filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC to report that its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) would not be timely filed. On April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company has not yet filed the Form 10-K, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. On May 17, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed the Form 10-K or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. On August 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. On October 16, 2023, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) indicating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Staff’s determination was based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with the filing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company had not filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and has not filed the Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Company requested and obtained a hearing before the Panel as well as a further stay of any additional action by Nasdaq pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel. There can be no assurance that a favorable decision will be obtained.

If the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule within any grace period granted by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, the Company’s common stock, warrants and 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. There is no assurance that the Company will regain compliance during any grace periods or be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements in the future. If we are not able to regain compliance during a grace period, Nasdaq will notify us that our common stock, warrants, and 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

On June 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVPHS”), of the Company’s 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) has been below the minimum $1 million requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5555(a)(4) (the “Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement”). Under Nasdaq rules, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the delisting decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that, if the Company decides to appeal the delisting determination, such appeal would be successful.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from receipt of the letter, or until December 18, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement. To regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement, the Company’s Preferred Stock MVPHS must be $1 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period ending on December 18, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with either listing requirement.

NOTE 20 CORRECTION OF AN ERROR

During the review of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company identified errors in the reporting of historical goodwill impairment (included in impairment expense) and intangible asset impairment (included in impairment expense). The errors resulted in an understatement of impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2022. Based on management’s evaluation of the SEC Staff’s Accounting Bulletins Nos. 99 (“SAB 99”) and 108 (“SAB 108”) and interpretations therewith, the Company concluded that the aforementioned errors were not material to the Company’s previously filed 2022 consolidated financial statements. This is further supported by the fact that all errors are of a non-cash nature, do not impact Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, and stock-based compensation), and would not likely have materially impacted a reasonable investor’s opinion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Because the correction of these errors was not deemed to be material to the results for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the errors are not expected to be material to the year ended December 31, 2023, to correct these errors, the Company recorded the corrections as out-of-period adjustments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. See the table below for the details of the corrections:

Debt and Equity Developments

On September 1, 2023, Dustin H. McIntire, our CTO, loaned $260,000 to the Company which was used to secure a software license for the Company. Upon being notified of the proposed loan, the Audit Committee reviewed the transaction under the related party transaction policy and approved the transaction. The Company gave Mr. McIntire a secured convertible promissory note for the $260,000 loan, due December 31, 2024, with eight per cent (8%) interest, secured by the software license. The holder may convert all or a portion of the note at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing price on which the conversion is elected or into bridge financing with identical terms as such bridge financing or offering.

Nasdaq Compliance Developments

On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. As a result, the Company is required to present its views of the deficiency to the Panel in writing no later than December 22, 2023.

On December 12, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Staff had determined that an additional basis exists to delist the Company’s securities because the Company reported stockholders’ equity of less than $2,500,000 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which is the minimum requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), and did not otherwise satisfy the alternative minimum requirements for market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

The Company previously requested and was granted a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), as well as a further stay of any suspension action by Nasdaq pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing. At the hearing, the Company intends to present its plan to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing criteria and request an extension to do so. If the Panel denies the Company’s request for continued listing or if the Company is unable to evidence compliance within any extension of time that may be granted by the Panel, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted and, as such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq.

Nasdaq Compliance Developments

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filed on December 7, 2023, we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Rules. Throughout most of 2022, our common stock was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement. We were given grace periods and regained compliance on or about February 27, 2023, by having the closing bid price of our common stock exceed $1.00 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive trading days during the grace period by implementing a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock on February 10, 2023.

On February 27, 2023, the Company regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement (“minimum bid price”) price of the Company’s common stock, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports (“filing requirements”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) following the successful filing of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

On March 31, 2023, the Company filed a notice of late filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC to report that its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) would not be timely filed. On April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company has not yet filed the Form 10-K, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. On May 17, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed the Form 10-K or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. On August 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. On October 16, 2023, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) indicating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Staff’s determination was based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with the filing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company has not filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. On November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Significant Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenues

Our revenues are generated primarily from the sale of our products, which consist primarily of telecom hardware, repairs, support & maintenance, drones, consulting, warranties and other. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in the contract with customers and identify a performance obligation for each. To determine the performance obligation, we consider all products and services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation is not subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods and services. We generally recognize product revenues at the time of shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 0% of our revenues were derived from sales outside of the United States. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 7% and 16%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from sales outside of the United States. While our near-term focus is on the North American telecom and infrastructure and service market, a key element of our growth strategy is to expand our worldwide customer base and our international operations, initially through agreements with third-party resellers, distributors and other partners that can market and sell our products in foreign jurisdictions. We expect that over the short term our percentage of sales outside the United States may increase as we build up our domestic sales and service teams. Notwithstanding such percentage increase, we expect the sales of tethered aerostats and drones will primarily be to the domestic market customers, primarily to the U.S. government and its agencies, even if such systems are for integration into foreign locations.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross (Loss) Profit

Our cost of goods sold is comprised primarily of the costs of manufacturing products, procuring finished goods from our third-party manufacturers, third-party logistics and warehousing provider costs, shipping and handling costs and warranty costs. We presently outsource the manufacturing of our FastBack and DragonWave products to two outsourced manufacturers, SMC for FastBack products and Benchmark for DragonWave products. Cost of goods sold also includes costs associated with supply operations, including personnel-related costs, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, third-party license costs and third-party costs related to the services we provide. Additionally, cost of goods sold does not include any depreciation and amortization expenses as we separate depreciation and amortization expense into its own category within operating expenses.

Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including changes in our supply chain and evolving product mix. The margin profile of our current products and future products will vary depending on operating performance, features, materials, manufacturer, and supply chain. Gross margin will vary as a function of product mix, changes in pricing due to competitive pressure, our third-party manufacturing, our production costs, costs of shipping and logistics, provision for excess and obsolete inventory and other factors. We expect our gross margins will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expense as research and development, sales, and marketing, and general and administrative. Personnel costs are the primary component of each of these operating expense categories, which consist of cash-based personnel costs, such as salaries, sales commissions, benefits, and bonuses. Additionally, we separate depreciation and amortization expense into its own category.

Research and Development

In addition to personnel-related costs, research and development expense consists of costs associated with the design, development, and certification of our products. We generally recognize research and development expense as incurred. Development costs incurred prior to establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred.

Sales and Marketing

In addition to personnel costs for sales, marketing, service and product management personnel, sales and marketing expense consists of the expenses associated with our training programs, trade shows, marketing programs, promotional materials, demonstration equipment, national and local regulatory approvals of our products, travel, entertainment and recruiting. We expect sales and marketing expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase the size of our sales, marketing, service, and product management organization in support of our investment in our growth opportunities, whether through the development and rollout of new or modified products or through acquisitions and partnerships.

General and Administrative

In addition to personnel costs, general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, such as legal, audit, accounting, information technology and consulting fees, share-based compensation, and facilities and other supporting overhead costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation related to fixed assets such as test equipment, research and development equipment, computer hardware, production fixtures and leasehold improvements, as well as amortization related to definite-lived intangibles.

Impairment Expense

We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an entity over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Impairment expense is recorded when the carrying value of a reporting unit (including goodwill and intangibles) exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.

Gain or Loss on Sales

A gain or loss on sales is recognized on sales of legal entities or sales of long-lived assets and included in income from continuing operations in the income statement. The amount of consideration promised in a contract that is included in the calculation of a gain or loss includes both the transaction price and the carrying amount of liabilities assumed.

Loss on Lease Abandonment

A loss on lease abandonment is recognized upon the derecognition of an ROU asset and evaluation that impairment is necessary in accordance with ASC 842. A gain or loss is recognized from the difference between the carrying amount of the ROU asset and the lease liability.

Gain on the Sale of Assets

A gain or loss is recognized on the sale and leaseback of long-lived assets and included in income from continuing operations in the income statement. The amount of consideration promised in a contract that is included in the calculation of a gain or loss includes the transaction price and the carrying amount of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and closing costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is comprised of interest expense associated with our secured notes payables, unsecured notes payables and unsecured convertible notes payables. The amortization of debt discounts is also recorded as part of interest expense.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Total Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, total revenues were $3.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $1.4 million, or 67%, is primarily attributable to increased sales of our aerostat products and accessories, partially offset by the Company’s liquidity challenges and idling and sale of businesses which drove revenues down as compared to the prior period, in addition to a one-time sale of inventory at a loss in the prior period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, total revenues were $4.0 million compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $0.1 million, or 4%, primarily consisted of increased sales of mobile network backhaul products and our aerostat products and accessories in the current period compared to a one-time sale of inventory at a loss in the prior period.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit (Loss)

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, cost of goods sold was $0.8 million compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $2.2 million, or 73%, was primarily attributable to the Company’s liquidity challenges and idling and/or sale of businesses which drove revenues and cost of goods sold down compared to the prior period, in addition to a one-time sale of inventory at a loss in the prior period. The Company sells multiple products with varying profit margins. The product mix had higher margins during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cost of goods sold were $1.1 million compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the decrease of $3.4 million, or 75%, primarily consisted of the one-time sale of inventory at a loss in 2022 and increases in purchase price variances for the production of our mobile network backhaul products and the materials, parts, and labor associated with our other manufacturing activities in the prior period. The Company sells multiple products with varying profit margins. The product mix had higher margins during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Gross profit (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.7 million compared to $(0.9) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The improved gross profit was driven primarily by the one-time sale of inventory at a loss in the prior period.

Gross profit (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.9 million compared to $(0.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The improved gross profit margin was driven primarily by the one-time sale of inventory at a loss in the prior period.

Research and Development Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, research and development expense was $0.0 million compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily due to reduced payroll and development costs as a result of the Company’s idled businesses and liquidity challenges.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, research and development expense was $0.1 million compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $$1.6 million was primarily due to reduced payroll and development costs as a result of the Company’s idled businesses and liquidity challenges.

While costs have recently been reduced due to the Company’s liquidity challenges, management expects that these costs will increase modestly as liquidity improves and the Company expands resources somewhat in order to focus on revenue enhancement.

Sales and Marketing Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, sales and marketing expense was $0 thousand, compared to $12 thousand and $78 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The decreases consisted of decreases in payroll and related marketing and sales efforts and cutbacks due to the Company’s liquidity challenges.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expense was $1.5 million compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $3.9 million primarily consisted of decreases due to the headcount reduction actions taken in 2022 and a decrease in payroll and professional expenses related to certain public relations services, accounting services, and other professional services.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expense was $3.7 million compared to $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $7.5 million primarily consisted of decreases due to the headcount reduction actions taken in 2022 and a decrease in payroll and professional expenses related to certain public relations services, accounting services, and other professional services.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, depreciation and amortization was $0.1 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily due to the sale of our Tucson Building and equipment during early 2022 (see Note 11 – Property and Equipment, Net).

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, depreciation and amortization was $0.1 million compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $0.9 million was primarily due to the sale of our Tucson Building and equipment during early 2022 (see Note 11 – Property and Equipment, Net).

Impairment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, impairment was $0.0 and $0.9 million, respectively, compared to $15.8 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The $15.8 million in 2022 arose in connection with the results of the Company’s June 30, 2022 interim impairment testing. There were no triggering events during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (see Note 20 – Correction of an Error).

Loss (Gain) on Sales of Innovation Digital and DragonWave-X Canada Assets and Sky Sapience

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the gain on the sale of Sky Sapience was $0.0 million compared to $2.6 million for the loss on the sales of Innovation Digital and DragonWave-X Canada assets for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is due to the transfer of $2.0 million of finished goods inventory to the purchaser of DragonWave-X Canada and the $0.6 million of intellectual property returned to the original owners of Innovation Digital in 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the gain on the sale of Sky Sapience was $(0.5) million compared to $2.6 million for the loss on the sales of Innovation Digital and DragonWave-X Canada assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The improvement is due to the gain on sale of Sky Sapience of $(0.5) million in 2023 as compared to the transfers of $2.0 million of finished goods inventory to the purchaser of DragonWave-X Canada and the $0.6 million of intellectual property returned to the original owners of Innovation Digital in 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the gain on the sale of assets was $0.0 million compared to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $8.4 million is primarily due to the January 31, 2022 sale of our Tucson Building for $15.8 million of cash. The Tucson Building had a carrying value of $6.7 million. The Company recognized an $8.4 million gain on sale of assets, which is net of $0.7 million of related transaction costs.

Other Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other expense was $0.4 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease of $1.4 million primarily consisted of decreases in interest expense of $0.9 million and loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million in 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its cash requirements. As of June 30, 2023, we had $2.4 million in cash compared to $1.9 million on December 31, 2022, an increase of $0.5 million resulting primarily from $0.4 million of cash provided by the sale of SKS (see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) and $0.2 million of proceeds from new debt, partially offset by $0.1 million of cash used in operating activities.

As of June 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $15.2 million compared to a working capital deficit of $15.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, we had undiscounted obligations relating to the payment of indebtedness as follows:

●

$11.9 million related to indebtedness that is due during the remainder of 2023;

●

$0.6 million related to indebtedness that is due during 2024; and

Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the following developments should be noted:

●

an additional promissory note with a face value of $0.3 million was issued.

Our future capital requirements for our operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of our businesses, and the costs of our operations. We cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock. Debt financing, if available, may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2023 we had an accumulated deficit of $301.8 million and we had a working capital deficit of $15.2 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our historical operating results, accumulated deficit and working capital, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current cash on hand and subsequent activity as described herein, we presently only have enough cash on hand to operate on a month-to-month basis, without raising additional capital or selling assets. Because of our limited cash availability, our operations have been scaled back to the extent possible. We continue to explore opportunities with third parties and related parties to provide additional capital; however, we have not entered into any agreement to provide the necessary capital. In the near term, there will be limited opportunities to raise capital of significance until our Nasdaq compliance issues are resolved, as discussed in Nasdaq Compliance Developments herein.

We will continue to pursue the actions outlined above, as well as work towards increasing revenue and operating cash flows to meet our future liquidity requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that we may undertake, and these planned actions do not alleviate the substantial doubt. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, we could be forced to discontinue operations, liquidate assets and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code. Determining the extent to which conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the extent to which mitigating plans sufficiently alleviate any such substantial doubt requires significant judgment and estimation by the Company. The Company makes assumptions that management’s plans will be effectively implemented but may not alleviate substantial doubt and its ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as set forth in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required under Regulation S-K for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Principal Financial and Accounting Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Principal Financial and Accounting Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, management concluded that the following material weaknesses that were first identified in 2021, continued to exist in our disclosure controls and procedures:

●

we do not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of our accounting staff;

●

there is a lack of timely reconciliations of account balances; and

●

there is a lack of documented and tested internal controls to meet the requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Our remediation of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting is ongoing.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Neither our Company nor any of our subsidiaries currently is a party to any legal proceeding that, individually or in the aggregate, is material to our Company as a whole, except as disclosed in Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on December 7, 2023 and Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on January 9, 2024. The following item occurred during the second quarter of 2023:

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Readers should carefully review the risk factors included under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 7, 2023.

Our stockholders’ equity fails to meet the minimum requirement for continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our ability to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected if we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On December 12, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that because the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was ($15,001,000), we do not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), and do not otherwise satisfy the alternative minimum requirements for market value of listed securities ($35 million) or net income from continuing operations ($500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years), and therefore the Company’s securities are subject to delisting.

If our securities were delisted from Nasdaq, among other things, it would likely lead to a number of negative implications, including an adverse effect on the price of our securities, reduced liquidity in our securities, no market for our securities and no ability for you to sell our securities, greater difficulty in obtaining financing, potential loss of confidence by employees, loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Default Upon Senior Securities

(a) Defaults Upon Senior Securities

In connection with our acquisition of Fastback on January 29, 2021, we issued to the sellers $11.2 million aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes that mature on January 29, 2026. There is a provision in the convertible promissory notes that an event of default could be declared if the Company fails to file its requisite its securities filings timely. The Company was delinquent with its Form 10-Q filings. To date, while the convertible promissory note holders have reserved their rights, the convertible promissory notes have not been declared in default, and the Company has a plan to regain compliance with such filings. Upon the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company will be compliant with the filing requirement. No adverse actions have been taken against the Company and we expect none insofar as filing compliance is regained. During January 2023, pursuant to a limited time offer, certain Fastback convertible promissory note holders agreed to amend their notes and convert an aggregate of $1.3 million principal of their notes and $0.3 million of accrued interest into 280,625 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On May 27, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor, pursuant to which we sold to the investor a senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.0 million and warrants to purchase up to 18,200 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for a purchase price of $10.0 million (representing an original issue discount of 10.0% on the note), of which we received $5.0 million on May 28, 2021 and $5.0 million on June 2, 2021. On August 25, 2021, we entered into a first amendment and limited waiver to the securities purchase agreement dated as of May 27, 2021 and amended and restated the convertible note.

The amended note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of funding and matures on May 27, 2023. We were required to make monthly interest and principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments of $611,000 each, commencing in November 2021. We had the right to make interest and principal payments in the form of shares of common stock, which shares will be valued at 90% of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of the common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of such shares of common stock. On or about April 15, 2022, this note went into default because the Company failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Pursuant to the terms of that note, a mandatory default amount of five percent (5%) of the outstanding principal amount was added to the principal amount. Additionally, the holder was able to demand, from time to time, repayment in the form of shares of common stock, which shares will be valued at 80% of the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of the common stock during the twenty trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of a notice of conversion. As of the date of this filing, this note had a remaining combined principal and interest balance of approximately $77,000.

On August 25, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor, pursuant to which we sold to the investor a senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $5.8 million and warrants to purchase up to 13,158 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for a purchase price of $5.0 million (representing an original issue discount of 16.0% on the note), which $5.0 million was received on August 26, 2021.

The note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of funding and matures on August 25, 2023. We were required to make monthly interest and principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments of $322,000 each, commencing in November 2021. So long as shares of our common stock are registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or may be sold without restriction on the number of shares or manner of sale, we had the right to make interest and principal payments in the form of additional shares of common stock, which shares would be valued at 90% of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of the common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of such shares of common stock. On or about April 15, 2022, this note went into default because the Company failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Pursuant to the terms of that note, a mandatory default amount of five percent (5%) of the outstanding principal amount was added to the principal amount. Additionally, the holder was able to demand, from time to time, repayment in the form of shares of common stock, which shares will be valued at 80% of the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of the common stock during the twenty trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of a notice of conversion. As of the date of this filing, this note had a remaining combined principal and interest balance of approximately $185,000.

In November 2019, DragonWave entered into a secured loan agreement with an individual lender pursuant to which DragonWave received a $2.0 million loan that bears interest at the rate of 9% per annum and originally matured on November 26, 2021. Accrued interest is calculated on a compound basis and is payable semi-annually in May and November of each year. Principal was due in full at maturity but can be prepaid in full or in part without penalty. The loan is secured by all of the assets of DragonWave and is guaranteed by ComSovereign Corp. In January 2021, a total of $1.0 million of principal of this note, plus all related accrued interest and charges, was extinguished in exchange for shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. In January 2022, a total of $500,000 was paid to the note holder. As of the date of this filing, this note had a remaining principal balance of $500,000.

(b) Material Arrearage in the Payment of Dividends.

On October 29, 2021, the Company sold in a public offering 320,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, which is the initial liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock has been listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “COMSP”.

Dividends at the rate of 9.25% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to an annual rate of $2.3125) on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable monthly in arrears on or about the twentieth (20th) day of each month. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative. The Company paid dividends commencing on or about November 20, 2021, and paid the monthly dividend through May 20, 2022.

On or about May 25, 2022, the Company announced that it had suspended the payment on the Series A Preferred Stock to preserve cash. Since June 20, 2022, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are accruing at the rate of approximately $61,664 per month. The total arrearage on the date of filing for the accrued dividends is approximately $1,171,262.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except for limited voting rights, including if the Company fails to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for 18 or more monthly periods (whether or not consecutive). On November 18, 2023, we reached 18 monthly periods of dividend arrears. Therefore, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote at either (i) a special meeting called upon the written request of the holders of at least 25% of the Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) at our next annual meeting and each subsequent annual or special meeting of stockholders for the election of two additional directors to serve on our board of directors until all unpaid dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid.
