The accompanying consolidated financial statements includefor the 2021 fiscal year included the accounts of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., doing business as, and operating under the trade name Noisecom,Noise Com, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Boonton Electronics Corporation, (“Boonton”), Microlab/FXR, LLC (“Microlab”)Wireless Telecommunications Ltd., CommAgility Limited and Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. (“Holzworth”)Noise Com, Inc., Wireless TelecommunicationsBoonton Electronics Corporation, Microlab/FXR, CommAgility Limited Ltd., and Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. are hereinafter referred to as “Noisecom”, “Boonton”, “Microlab”, “CommAgility” and “Holzworth”, respectively.

As more fully described in Note 3, on March 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Microlab to RF Industries, Ltd. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of Microlab are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of Microlab as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

Our consolidated financial statements from continuing operations include the accounts of Noisecom, Boonton, Holzworth, and CommAgility Limited (“CommAgility”). Theyand have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s latest annual report (Form 10-K).

 

The Company’s fiscal periods are based on the calendar year. Except as otherwise specified, references to “third“first quarter(s)” or “three months” indicate the Company’s three month periodfiscal periods ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020, and references to “year-end” indicate the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal accruals and recurring entries, which are necessary to fairly present the Company’s results for the interim periods being presented.

 

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. Specific reference is made to that report since certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with US GAAP have been reduced for interim periods in accordance with SEC rules.

 

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.2022.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for each period. We base our assumptions, judgements and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates, and make changes as deemed necessary.

The COVID-19 pandemic hasand the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have negatively impacted regional and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Although these disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic did not impact our estimates and judgements as of the date of this report, it is reasonably possible that our accounting estimates and judgements may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available or is obtained. Furthermore, actual results could differ materially from our estimates as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under different assumptions or conditions.

 

For further information about our critical accounting estimates, see the discussion in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Concentration Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

 

Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Credit risk is mitigated to a lesser extent through collateral such as letters of credit, bank guarantees or payment terms like cash in advance.

 

ForOne customer accounted for 11.2% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022. A different customer accounted for 17.4% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

One customer accounted for 19.3% of consolidated accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of consolidated revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 one customer accounted for 10.32% of consolidated revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for 12.5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.

One customer accounted for 12.2% of consolidated accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021. At December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 12.7% of consolidated accounts receivable.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin and, therefore, carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Contingent Consideration

 

Under the terms of the Holzworth Share Purchase Agreement, the Company iswas required to pay additional purchase price in the form of deferred purchase price payments and an earnout based on Holzworth’s financial results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021.

 

The significant inputs usedAs of March 31, 2022, the amount due for the Holzworth earnout was $2.9 million and included in this fair value estimate include estimated gross revenuesaccrued expenses and Adjusted EBITDA, as definedother current liabilities in the Holzworth Share Purchase Agreement, and scenarios for the earnout periods for which probabilities are assigned to each scenario to arrive at a single estimated outcome. The estimated outcome is then discounted based on the individual risk analysis of the liability. The contingent consideration liabilities are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Under ASC 805As of March 1,2022, the Company is required to reassess contingent consideration liabilities as of each reporting date. Additionally, adjustments to contingent consideration liabilitiesdetermined that occur after the measurement period, which is typically one year, are recorded as a component ofchief operating income in the Consolidated Statement of Operationsdecision maker makes financial decisions and Comprehensive Income/(Loss). Due to the anticipated better than expected financial performance of the Holzworth reporting unit for fiscal year 2021, the Company recorded an increase to the contingent consideration liabilities in the amount of $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the earnout payableallocates resources based on the expected financial resultssegment profit information for the year ending December 31, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, amounts due for the Holzworth deferred purchase price and earnout were $500,000 and $4.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 2 – Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in the 20202021 Form 10-K that had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new ASU also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates. These changes aim to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021 and prescribes different transition methods for the various provisions. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured asat amortized cost. This pronouncement is effective for small reporting companies for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2023. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are intended to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new standard is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, with the adoption date being dependent upon the Company’s election. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – Acquisition of HolzworthDiscontinued Operations

On February 7, 2020March 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisitionsale of all of the outstanding shares of Holzworth. Holzworth instruments which include signal generators and phased noise analyzers are used by government labs, the semiconductor industry, and network equipment providers, among others, in research and automated test environments. Holzworth is a complimentary business for our Boonton and Noisecom brands with a common customer base and channel partners.

The acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business CombinationsMicrolab to RF Industries, Ltd (the “Transaction”). Accounting for acquisitions requires us to recognize separately from goodwill, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Additionally, the Sellers earnedNote 4) with Muzinich BDC, approximately $3.4600,000 million in additional purchase price in the form of an earnout (“Year 1 Earnout”) which was also based on Holzworth’s EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.

On February 19, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Share Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Holzworth. The Second Amendment, among other things, converted the second deferred purchase price of $750,000 into unsecured seller notes with interest at an annual rate of 6.5% starting from April 1, 2021 until final payment. The payment date has been changed from March 31, 2021 to three equal installments of $250,000, plus accrued interest, due on July 1, 2021, October 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022.

Additionally, the parties amended the payment dates of the earnout consideration.

The Year 1 Earnout is payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option, based on the 90 trading day volume weighted average price immediately preceding final determination of the Year 1 Earnout or $2.19 per share. The payment for the Year 1 Earnout is $3.4 million, of which $210,000 was paid in cash and $73,000 was issued in common stock as of September 30, 2021.pay our advisors.

 

The Company may also be required to pay additional amounts in cashterminated its Term Loan Facility with Muzinich BDC and stockCredit Facility with Bank of America N.A. as earnout consideration based on Holzworth’s EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 (“Year 2 Earnout”). The Year 2 Earnout will be equal to two times the amount, if any, by which Holzworth’s EBITDA for fiscal year December 31, 2021 exceeds Holzworth’s EBITDA for fiscal year 2020. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Year 2 Earnout is payable in four equal quarterly installments payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter between March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022. The aggregate payments of the Year 1 Earnout and Year 2 Earnout cannot exceed $7.0 million andTransaction close date (see Note 4 below). Additionally, concurrent with the aggregate purchase price cannot exceed $17.0 million.closing, the Company entered into a sublease with RF Industries, Ltd for approximately one-half of the square footage of our corporate headquarters in Parsippany, NJ (see Note 5 below).

 

Due to the anticipated better than expected financial performanceThe Transaction will be treated as a sale of the Holzworth reporting unitassets and liabilities of Microlab to RF Industries, Ltd. for fiscal year 2021,U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes. The Company has approximately $14.9 million of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $41.2 million of New Jersey state net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2021.

All proceeds of the Initial Term Loan were used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the Holzworth acquisition. Principal paymentsamended on the Initial Term Loan are $21,000 per quarter with a balloon payment at maturity which is February 7, 2025. The Term Loan Facility included an upfront fee of 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loan. In connection with the Term Loan Facility, the Company incurred costs of $1.0 million, including the aforementioned 2.50% upfront fee to Muzinich, which were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt and are being amortized over the term of the loan.

On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Term Loan Facility which, among other things, amended the definition of “Indebtedness” to include the PPP (as defined below) loan as long as the proceeds are used for allowable purposes under the CARES Act, the receipt of the loan does not violate the Credit Facility and the Company submits an application for forgiveness and substantially all of the loan is forgiven. The Company received notice in June 2021 that the loan and accrued interest were fully forgiven, as described below.

On February 25, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver (“Amendment 2”) with Muzinich, in which Muzinich agreed to waive the Company’s obligation to comply with the consolidated leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenants in the Term Loan Facility for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020. We were not in compliance with such covenants primarily as a result of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on our consolidated financial results. Amendment 2, among other things, amended the definition of consolidated EBITDA to include certain cash tax benefits related to our U.K. tax jurisdiction and reduced our consolidated leverage ratio for the twelve month periods ended September 30, 2021 from 3.00 to 2.75, December 31, 2021 from 2.75 to 2.25, March 31, 2022 from 2.50 to 2.00 and June 30, 2022 from 2.25 to 2.00. Additionally, the interest rate margin was increased from 7.25% to 9.25% effective January 1, 2021 and will step down to 8.50% and 7.25% upon the Company achieving consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis of $4.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Muzinich and the Company also agreed on an excess cash flow payment of $428,000 which was made in March 2021 and Muzinich provided consent for the Company to change the deferred purchase price payments to and enter into notes with the Holzworth sellers in the amount of $750,000, as described above in Note 3.

On May 27, 2021 the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver (“Amendment 3)” with Muzinich in which Muzinich, among other things, permitted CommAgility to enter into the CIBLS Loan Agreement with Lloyds Bank Plc. See description below.

On September 28, 2021 (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Company repaid the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver (“Amendment 4”) with Muzinich. Amendment 4 was executed in connection with a prepayment of theoutstanding principal balance of the Muzinich term loan in the amount of $3.74.1 million and accrued interest thereon of $95,000thereon. Additionally, on September 28, 2021.

NOTE 6Leases

 

The Company’s lease agreements consist of building leases for its operating locations and office equipment leases for printers and copiers with lease terms that range from less than 12 months months to 8 years years.. At inception, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. The Company’s leases for office equipment such as printers and copiers contain lease and non-lease components (i.e., maintenance). The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components of office equipment as a single lease component.

 

All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and are presented as right of use lease asset, short term lease liability and long term lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

 

An initial right-of-use asset of $1.9 million was recognized as a non-cash asset addition with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019. With our acquisition of Holzworth on February 7, 2020, we acquired a right-of-use asset of $789,000. There have been no other right-of-use assets recognized since the date of adoption of the new lease standard. Cash paid for amounts included in the present value of operating lease liabilities was $168,000156,000 and $500,000151,000 forduring the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was included in operating cash flows. Cash paid for amounts included in the present value of operating lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $167,000 and $483,000, respectively.

NOTE 76Revenue

 

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time. Revenue from performance obligations that transferred at a point in time accounted for approximately 9791% and 10097% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for each of the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

 

Nature of Products and Services

Hardware

The Company generally has one performance obligation in its arrangements involving the sales of radio frequency solutions, digital signal processing hardware, power meters, analyzers, noise/signal generators, phase noise analyzers and other components. When the terms of a contract include the transfer of multiple products, each distinct product is identified as a separate performance obligation. Generally, satisfaction occurs when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customer in exchange for consideration in an amount for which we expect to be entitled. Generally, control is transferred when legal title of the asset moves from the Company to the customer. We sell our products to a customer based on a purchase order, and the shipping terms per each individual order are primarily used to satisfy the single performance obligation. However, in order to determine when control has transferred to the customer, the Company also considers:

 

 when the Company has a present right to payment for the asset;
 when the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset to the customer;
 when the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset; and
 when the customer has accepted the asset.

 

Software

Arrangements involving licenses of software in the CommAgility brand may involve multiple performance obligations, most notably subsequent releases of the software. The Company has concluded that each software release in a multiple deliverable arrangement involving CommAgility software licenses is a distinct performance obligation and, accordingly, transaction price is allocated to each release when the customer obtains control of the software.

 

Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined. Specifically, with the Company’s sales of software, contracts that include customization may result in the combination of the customization services with the license as one distinct performance obligation and recognized over time. The duration of these performance obligations are typically one year or less.

 

Services

Arrangements involving calibration and repair services of the Company’s products are generally considered a single performance obligation and are recognized as the services are rendered.

 

12

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling activities performed after the customer obtains control are accounted for as fulfillment activities and recognized as cost of revenues.

 

Significant Judgments

 

For the Company’s more complex software and services arrangements, significant judgment is required in determining whether licenses and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or are not distinct and thus accounted for together. Further, in cases where we determine that performance obligations should be accounted for separately, judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation.

 

Certain of the Company shipments include a limited return right. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue net of expected returns.

16

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets (unbilled revenue) or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company records unbilled revenue when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. Unbilled revenue was $179,000297,000 and $260,000292,000 as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Deferred revenue was $691,00089,000 and $924,000408,000 as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The decrease in deferred revenue from December 31, 20202021 is primarily due to recognition of revenue for certain CommAgility projects involving multiple performance obligations, offset by billing in advance of revenue recognition for new projects with multiple performance obligations.

 

13

Disaggregated Revenue

 

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by product family and geographic location as we believe it best depicts how the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See details in the tables below (in thousands). Revenues from signal generators, components, analyzers and power meters are attributable to the T&M segment in 2022 and 2021. Approximately $494,000 and $440,000 of services revenue are attributable to the T&M segment in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 87Income Taxes

 

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax assets and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance.

 

Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate tax jurisdictions in future years to obtain benefit from the reversal of net deductible temporary differences and from utilization of net operating losses. The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are New Jersey, Colorado and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income are changed.

 

17

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company’s net deferred tax asset of approximately $6.22.3 million is net of a valuation allowance of approximately $7.77.1 million which is associated with the Company’s foreign net operating loss carryforward from an inactive foreign entity, state net operating loss carryforward and a state research and development credit. The net deferred tax asset decreased approximately $3.3 million from December 31, 2021 due to the taxable gain to be recognized on the Microlab divestiture. The Company expects to utilize in 2022 all of its federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately one-half of its New Jersey state net operating loss carryforwards to offset the taxable gain recognized on the Microlab divestiture. The reduction in the net deferred tax asset from December 31, 2021 is due to the reduction in Federal and New Jersey state net operating loss carryforwards.

 

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $386,000 forIn accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12 the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to estimated taxable losses primarily as a result of anticipated research and development deductions in the U.K. This was partially offset by the recognition of tax provisions due to the impact of an increase of the deferred tax liability for the Company’s U.K. jurisdiction due to an increase in the enacted U.K. tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company recorded a tax provision of approximately $352,0004.9 million related to income from discontinued operations and a tax benefit of approximately $851,000 related to loss from continuing operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020 due to estimated taxable income in the U.S. because qualified expenses under the PPP loan were not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In recording theMarch 31, 2022 and a tax provision of approximately $93,000 related to income from discontinued operations and a tax benefit of approximately $145,000 related to loss from continuing operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had assumed that the PPP loan would be forgiven and, therefore, all PPP qualified expenses were treated as non-deductible. This was offset somewhat by estimated losses as well as research and development deductions in the UK.March 31, 2021.

NOTE 98Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options using the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of unvested restricted shares, the weighted-average number of restricted stock units, the number of shares issuable under the terms of the Holzworth earnout and the weighted average number of warrants to purchase common stock outstanding for the period. Shares from stock options are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation only when options exercise prices are lower than the average market value of the common shares for the period presented. In periods with a net loss, the basic loss per share equals the diluted loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive. In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.

Each RSU represents the Company’s obligation to issue one share of the Company’s common stock subject to the RSU award agreement and 2021 Incentive Plan. The grant date fair value was $2.70 per share and the RSUs vest on the day before the first anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, the effective date of a separation of service due to death or disability, provided the Board member has rendered continuous service to the Company as a memberCompensation Committee of the Board of Directors fromapproved the grant of restricted common stock awards to named executive officers Tim Whelan, Mike Kandell, Dan Monopoli and Alfred Rodriguez of 125,000, 75,000, 50,000 and 50,000 shares respectively which vest in equal annual installments over two years. If an executive’s service with the Company terminates before the restricted awards are fully vested, then the shares that are not then fully vested are forfeited and immediately returned to the Company. The grant date value per share was $2.11.

Introduction

 

On March 1, 2022 the Company completed the sale of Microlab to RF Industries, Ltd. and received approximately $23.7 million in cash. Concurrent with the divestiture we repaid our outstanding Term Loan Facility with Muzinich BDC and Credit Facility with Bank of America N.A. and terminated both facilities. The divestiture of Microlab represents a strategic shift for the Company started to see signs of an economic recoveryaway from the COVID-19 pandemic in the third quarter of 2021, specifically in ourlower margin RF Components (“RFC”) product group. However, the Company continuesbusiness to deal with major global disruptions caused by the pandemic including global supply chain shortages of key componentsour higher growth higher margin T&M and a difficult labor market especially for roles requiring technical expertise. We are also assessing President Biden’s executive order on vaccine mandates and the possible impact on us as a supplier to large global defense subcontractors. We have adopted flexible work arrangements in our locations for those employees that can work remotely and continue to implement safety precautions in our facilities.RBS segments.

 

Our third quarter 2021 consolidated revenue increased 18% from the prior year period reflecting increases in all three of our product groups. The largest increase was in our RFCproduct group due to a recovery in carrier spending from the prior year. Our consolidated gross margin exceeded 50% as improving margins at the RFC and Test and measurement (“T&M”) product groups were offset by lower margins at our Radio, baseband and software product group (“RBS”) due to a higher mix of lower margin hardware and services sales in the quarter. Due to the better than expected performance of our Holzworth brand we recorded a $1.0 million loss on contingent consideration in the quarter which represents the estimated earnout payment for financial performance in fiscal 2021. This earnout will be payable in four equal installments in fiscal 2022.

Also contributing to the increase were higherlower sales of our digital signal processing cards and lower software sales at our RBS segment. The lower software revenue is the result, in part, of more volatile quarter to quarter revenue recognition patterns due to the timing, delivery and complexity of RBS product group.projects. This was only partially offset by higher revenue at our T&M segment due primarily to higher orders for our legacy T&M products.

Consolidated gross profit declined 10% due to lower sales of higher margin software at our RBS segment. This was only partially offset by T&M gross profit which increased 15.7% due to higher revenues at all three product groups. Gross profit margin increased at the RFC product group due to higher absorption of fixed manufacturing and overhead costs and at the T&M product group due to a purchase accounting adjustment recorded in the prior year period in the amount of $258,000. Excluding the purchase accounting adjustment, gross margins at the T&M product group declined due to product mix. Gross profit margin at the RBS product group declined due to a higher mix of lower margin hardware and services revenues as compared to the prior year period.revenues.

Research and development expenses decreased 21.4% fromwere flat with the prior year as modest declines in headcount costs at RBS due primarily to lowerallocations to customer projects were offset by higher third party research and development costs, the majority of which is in connection with our T&M product group. The mix of third party research and development expenses to internal expenses varies by project. We expect to continue third party investments in research and development dependent upon project deadlines, new product development opportunities and longer term product roadmap dependencies which, in turn, may create increases and decreases to research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue. The decline in third party expenses was offset somewhat by unfavorable foreign exchange impact, specifically the increase in the pound sterling which increased approximately 6.9% year over year resulting in an increase in research and development expenses of $61,000.expenses.

Sources and Uses of Cash

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022 the Company’s consolidated cash balance decreased approximately $3.6 million due primarily to a paydown of $4.2 million of our Term Loan Facility which includes a $3.7 million prepayment on September 28, 2021, the payment of contingent consideration and deferred purchase price related to the Holzworth acquisition of $460,000, payment of the final holdback amount of the Holzworth purchase price of $200,000, and capital expenditures of $417,000. These payments were offset by cash provided by operations due primarily to operating income generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operations was $535,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to cash used by operations of $852,000 in the prior year period. This was due to higher operating income and lower cash used for working capital as compared to the prior year.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause significant uncertainty in the U.S. and global economies as well as the markets we serve. It has affected, and could continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in and could continue to adversely affect broader economies, financial markets, and the business environment worldwide. We have been and continue to be unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures, the nature and length of actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals to contain or mitigate its impact, the severity and duration of the economic impact caused by the pandemic, the uncertainty surrounding possible treatments and rollout of vaccines, along with the effectiveness of our response.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our workforce, the workforce of our customer, suppliers and contract manufacturers and has resulted in reduced demand for our products and services in fiscal 2020 and the first half of fiscal 2021 which negatively impacted our financial results for those periods. Although we have started to experience a recovery in the third quarter of 2021, if the pandemic continues, recurs, or worsens, we may experience additional adverse impacts on our operational and commercial activities, including rising costs, volatility in customer orders, supply chain constraints, labor shortages and purchases and declines in our collections of accounts receivable. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, the breadth of its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around its duration, ultimate impact and the timing of recovery. Therefore, the pandemic could lead to an extended disruption of economic activity and the impact on our stock price, access to capital, consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be material.

There have been no other material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
