UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
~~MARCH 31,~~

September 30, 2017

NOTE A —– SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Numerex Corp. (NASDAQ: NMRX) is a holding company incorporated in Pennsylvania, ~~(the “Company”),~~ and through its subsidiaries, is a single source, leading provider of managed enterprise solutions enabling the Internet of Things (IoT). An IoT solution is generally viewed as a combination of devices, software and services that operate with little or no human interaction. Our managed IoT solutions are simple, innovative, scalable and secure. Our solutions incorporate each of the four key IoT building blocks —– Device, Network, Application and Platform. We provide our technology and service solutions through our integrated IoT horizontal platforms, which are generally sold on a subscription basis. Foreign operations were not significant to us for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 or 2016.

Basis of Presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as GAAP, for interim financial information and the Rules and Regulations issued by the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, as applicable. These financial statements include all of our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation.

Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise disclosed, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 and our operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 which includes information and disclosures not included in this quarterly report.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Operating results for the three or nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any future periods.

Liquidity

The Company incurred an operating loss totaling ~~$2.4~~$6.1 million and cash ~~provided by~~used in operations was ~~$0.3~~$0.8 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The Company also incurred an operating loss totaling $22.8 million and cash used in operations totaled $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of ~~$52.3~~$58.8 million, and cash and cash equivalents of ~~$8.9~~$6.6 million. The Company’s cash flow requirements during the fiscal year 2016 and to date in 2017 were financed by cash on hand, ~~and~~ cash generated by ~~operations.~~operations, and proceeds from the recent financing with Hale. The Company had total ~~long~~ term debt (net of deferred financing costs), including current portion, of ~~$15.9~~$15.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The Company’s ability to continue in business is dependent on its ability to continue to generate operating cash flows, to maintain sufficient cash on hand, to raise additional capital, and ~~an ability~~ to control expenditures. Management believes that the Company will maintain sufficient liquidity through at least ~~March~~September 2018.

NOTE D – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Impairment Charges

We recorded $4.2 million in impairment charges for trade names, technology and goodwill as of June 30, 2016. The Omnilink and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) product lines and reporting units had not generated results of operations consistent with our expectations and forecasts for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016. The lower operating results and future expectations for Omnilink were principally related to strategic changes and delays associated with the launch of a new personal tracking product line. We also continue to evaluate different strategic options for the DIY reporting unit. These factors were triggering events that indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Omnilink and DIY reporting units were less than their carrying amounts. As a result, we performed initial assessments of goodwill for impairment, along with other intangible assets of the reporting units, as of June 30, 2016.

NUMEREX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2017

We estimated the fair value of the reporting units using a combination of market and income approaches and concluded that the estimated fair value of the Omnilink and DIY reporting units were less than their carrying values. We assessed the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if we were acquiring the reporting units in a business combination. Specifically, we allocated the estimated fair value of the reporting units to all of the assets and liabilities of those units, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical calculation, referred to as Step Two. We assessed the amortizing long-lived assets for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and concluded that, with the exception of DIY technology, the carrying values of other amortizing long-lived assets and intangible assets were recoverable.

Based on Step Two calculations, we recorded non-cash impairment charges as of June 30, 2016 ~~respectively.~~

~~NOTE D — INTANGIBLE ASSETS~~

of $1.6 million for indefinite-lived trade names and $2.3 million for goodwill of the Omnilink reporting unit, and $0.1 million for technology and $0.2 million for goodwill of the DIY reporting unit.

NOTE E —– INCOME TAXES

We calculate our interim income tax provision in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes in interim periods. At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and apply that rate to our ordinary year-to-date income or loss. In addition, we calculate a year-to-date adjustment to increase or decrease our income tax provision to take into account our current expected effective tax rate. The tax or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items ~~that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect~~ are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider projections of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the reversal of temporary differences in making this assessment.

During 2015, we determined that we would not meet the criteria of “more likely than not” that our federal and state net operating losses and certain other deferred tax assets would be recoverable. This determination was based on our assessment of both positive and negative evidence regarding realization of our deferred tax assets, in particular, the strong negative evidence associated with our cumulative loss over the past three years. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance against these items. The deferred tax assets consist of federal net operating losses, state net operating losses, tax credits, and other deferred tax assets, most of which expire between 2017 and 2036. We will maintain the valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence outweighs any negative evidence to support reversal. Income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases to the valuation allowance.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

~~NUMEREX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~
~~MARCH 31, 2017~~

As a result of recording a valuation allowance, we recognized deferred tax expense of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of ~~(1.9%~~(2.4%), for the three months and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The deferred tax expense recognized on a net loss before income taxes, and the difference in the effective tax rate from the federal statutory rate, is due primarily to the book and tax basis and accounting differences for certain long and indefinite lived intangible assets. We have also recognized a provision for income tax expense for certain state income taxes that cannot utilize offsetting net operating losses. Income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases to the valuation allowance.

We file U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation. The 2012 through 2016 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities. However, certain returns from earlier years in which net operating losses have arisen are still open for examination by the tax authorities.

From June 7, 2017 until June 29, 2018, the monthly interest payment will be in the form of additional Notes. Thereafter, the interest will be payable monthly in cash in arrears. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months. The Notes will bear interest at a rate five percent (5%) above the otherwise applicable interest rate during the continuance of a default or event of default.

The maturity date of the Notes is March 31, 2021. Beginning June 30, 2018, the Company is required to prepay the Notes in principal installments of $250,000 per month. In addition, wethe Company will be required to redeem all of the Notes upon a change of control and will be required to make mandatory prepayments on the Notes with the net proceeds of (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition of assets (including casualty losses and condemnation awards, subject to certain exceptions) and (ii) the issuance or sale of any equity, except for a portion of which may be used to pay down the Company's existing subordinated note.

NOTE G —– NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per share attributable to common shareholders is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted (loss) earnings per share include the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based compensation awards is computed using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted earnings per shares does not assume exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is not presented separately because there are no adjustments to the numerator in calculating dilutive net loss per share and all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.

The restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include $0.8 million related to the relocation of our corporate headquarters and $0.7 million in severance costs.

NOTE I – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We account for certain assets at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

We have no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We do not have any liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

~~We recorded~~J – MERGER AGREEMENT

On August 2, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sierra Wireless, Inc., a ~~restructuring charge~~Canadian corporation (“Sierra”), and Wireless Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ~~$0.4 million, which included $0.4 million~~Sierra (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ~~severance costs~~Sierra (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved and adopted by the board of directors of each of the Company and Sierra.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company’s shareholders will have the right to receive 0.1800 common shares, no par value, of Sierra (“Sierra Common Stock”) for each share of Class A common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) (such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Additionally, each outstanding restricted stock unit, in-the-money option and in-the-money stock appreciation right will be cancelled in exchange for the ~~three months ended March 31, 2017.~~right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Except as described below and specified in the Merger Agreement, if exercised following notice of the Merger, each outstanding warrant issued by the Company will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration or, if not exercised, will be cancelled at the Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each of the Company and Sierra, and each party to the Merger Agreement has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of the Company’s and Sierra’s businesses during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, (2) the obligation of the Company to call a meeting of its shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement, and, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement and (3) the Company’s non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals. Each of the Company and Sierra has also agreed to apply for, or otherwise seek, and use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, all consents and approvals of governmental entities required to be obtained by it for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The completion of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders, (2) the receipt of conditional approval of the shares of Sierra Common Stock to be issued in the Merger for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, subject only to customary post-closing deliverables, and on The NASDAQ Global Market, subject only to official notice of issuance, (3) the expiration or early termination of all applicable waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (4) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-4 by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the Sierra Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, (5) the absence of any order, injunction or other legal restraint preventing the completion of the Merger or making the completion of the Merger illegal and (6) the absence of any pending legal proceeding instituted by any governmental entity seeking to restrain, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also provides certain termination rights for each of the Company and Sierra and further provides that a termination fee equal to 3.75% of the aggregate equity value of the Merger as of the date of the Merger Agreement will be payable by the Company upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement. In addition, upon termination of the Merger Agreement by Sierra as a result of either Numerex’s shareholders not approving the transaction or Numerex’s fraud or willful and material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, Numerex may be required to reimburse Sierra for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger in an amount not to exceed $850,000 in the event of a no vote and $2 million in the event of fraud or a willful and material breach.

In addition, Hale Capital has agreed to waive any event of default under the Note Purchase Agreement that may be caused by the execution of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger; provided that (i) the repurchase price for the warrant and all principal, interest and other amounts owed under the Notes are paid in full substantially concurrently with the Effective Time of the Merger and (ii) the Effective Time of the Merger occurs on or before August 1, 2018.

NOTE ~~I —~~K – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. The guidance eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The updated guidance requires a prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in 2020. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the provisions of this guidance on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The updated guidance requires a prospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. This update will be effective for the Company beginning in 2018. The Company does not expect the provisions of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance impacting restricted cash presentation on the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This standard becomes effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2018 and will be applied using a retrospective approach for each period presented.The Company does not expect the provisions of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures will be enhanced to better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The updated standard mandates a modified retrospective transition method with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance which delays the effective date by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it

controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. We currently anticipate adopting the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The new standard also permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. We are ~~concluding~~continuing to work towards establishing policies, updating our processes and implementing necessary changes to data and processes to be able to comply with the new requirements. Based on the results of our assessment ~~phase~~to date, we do not expect that the new standard will result in significant changes in our units of ~~implementing~~accounting or the amounts of revenue allocated between units of accounting. Further, our initial evaluation is that monthly recurring service revenue for security, network, and asset identification and optimization, which is the majority of our revenue, would not be materially impacted by the adoption of this ~~guidance. We have evaluated each~~standard. Our initial conclusion may change when we complete our evaluation which is proceeding as planned. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the ~~five steps in~~standard, we currently believe the ~~new~~most significant impact relates to additional disclosures related to qualitative and quantitative information concerning the nature, amount, timing, and any uncertainty of revenue recognition model, which are as follows: 1) Identify the contract with the customer; 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Our preliminary conclusion is that the determination of what constitutes a contract with our customers (step 1), our performance obligations under the contract (step 2), and the determination and allocation of the transaction price (steps 3 and 4) and recognizing revenue when performance obligations are satisfied (step 5) under the new revenue recognition model will not result in material changes in comparison to our current revenue recognition for ourcash flows from contracts with ~~customers entered into in the normal course of operations. However, we have not yet finalized our analysis.~~

customers.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted guidance which simplifies the measurement of inventory. The guidance changed the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value and eliminates the requirement to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The provisions of this standard were adopted on a prospective basis and adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the ~~Company’s~~Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2017, the Company adopted guidance which changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked instruments with down round features. The guidance changed the requirement that a down round feature precluded equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The provisions of this standard were early adopted as of June 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the only equity linked instruments with down-round features for the Company were the warrants issued in connection with the Hale Financing (see Note F- Debt).

Overview

As used herein, except as otherwise indicated by context, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Numerex” refers to Numerex Corp. and subsidiaries.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017.

Numerex Corp. (“Numerex,” the “Company” or “we”) is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and is a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We are a single source, leading provider of managed enterprise solutions enabling the Internet of Things (IoT). We empower enterprise operations with world-class, managed IoT solutions that are simple, innovative, scalable and secure.

During the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, we had revenues of ~~$16.4~~$15.3 million, and a net loss of ~~$4.0~~$3.4 million; compared with revenues and a net loss of ~~$18.1~~$17.4 million and ~~$2.3~~$2.5 million, respectively for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2016.

Our core strategy is to generate long term and sustainable recurring revenue through a portfolio of managed, end-to-end IoT solutions which are generally sold on a subscription basis and built on our horizontal, integrated platform. Our solutions incorporate the key IoT building blocks —– Device, Network, Application and Platform. Our solutions also simplify the implementation and improve the speed to market for enterprise users in select, targeted verticals in the asset monitoring and optimization, asset tracking, and safety and security markets.

Our strategy requires significant capital investment to develop and enhance our use of technology and to maintain our leadership position and competitive advantage in the markets we serve.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

Subscription and support revenue is recognized monthly as services are provided and sales of embedded devices and hardware are recognized when title passes. Other upfront payment revenue is deferred and amortized on a straight line basis.

Due to fluctuations of the commencement of new contracts and renewal of existing contracts, we expect variability of sequential quarterly trends in revenues, margins and cash flows. Other factors contributing to sequential quarterly trends include usage, rate changes, and re-pricing of contract renewals and technology changes.

Historically, our revenues and expenses in the first quarter have been modestly affected by slowing of customer purchase activities during the holidays. As a result, historical quarterly fluctuations may not be indicative of future operating results.

As part of our effort to build and enhance our core business, we conduct ongoing business strategy reviews. During our reviews, we consider opportunities for growth in existing and new markets that may involve growth derived from both existing operations as well as from future acquisitions, if any. To the extent existing business lines and service offerings are not considered to be compatible with delivery of our core business services or with meeting our financial objectives, we may exit non-core lines of business or stop offering these services in part or in whole.

– Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). See further discussion, including reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, under the caption Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Total revenue decreased ~~$1.7~~$2.1 million, or ~~9.2%~~12.1%, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 to ~~$16.4~~$15.3 million from ~~$18.1~~$17.4 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in total revenue is ~~primarily~~ related to the decrease in subscription and support revenue as well as embedded devices and hardware revenue, which is discussed below.

Subscription and support revenues decreased ~~$1.5~~$2.4 million, or ~~10.1%~~16.7%, to ~~$13.5~~$12.0 million from ~~$15.0~~$14.4 million in 2016. The decrease is driven by 2G disconnects associated with the AT&T 2G network sunset that occurred on December 31, 2016.

Embedded devices and hardware revenue increased $0.3 million, or 9.8%, to $3.3 million from $3.0 million in 2016. The increase in embedded devices and hardware revenue is due to an increase in sales volume and product mix.

Total cost of ~~revenue~~sales for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 ~~decreased $0.3~~increased $0.9 million, or ~~3.7%~~10.2%, to ~~$8.5~~$9.8 million compared to ~~$8.8~~$8.9 million for the same period in 2016. Comprising that ~~decrease,~~increase, the cost of revenue for subscription and support services decreased ~~$0.2~~$0.7 million, or ~~4.2%~~12.7%, to ~~$5.5~~$5.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 compared to ~~$5.7~~$5.8 million for the same period in 2016. Cost of revenue for embedded devices and hardware ~~decreased $0.1~~increased $0.4 million, or ~~2.7%~~12.2% to ~~$3.0~~$3.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2016.

Inventory reserve expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $1.3 million compared to $0.0 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in the reserve is related to current inventory which will be impacted by the introduction of our LTE products.

Total gross profit for the period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 decreased ~~$1.3~~$3.0 million, or ~~14.5%~~35.6% to ~~$7.9~~$5.5 million compared to ~~$9.2~~$8.5 million for the same period in 2016 for the reasons stated above.

Gross profit margin percentage decreased to 35.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 48.7% for the same period in 2016. The decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by an increase in the inventory reserve of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Sales and marketing expense ~~increased $0.2~~decreased $1.0 million, or ~~6.7%~~32.4%, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 to ~~$3.1~~$2.2 million compared to ~~$2.9~~$3.2 million for the same period in 2016. The ~~increase~~decrease is primarily attributable to ~~an increase~~a decline in promotional activities during the ~~quarter.~~

quarter and reduced travel costs.

General and administrative expense decreased ~~$1.2~~$1.0 million, or ~~28.7%~~29.5%, to ~~$2.9~~$2.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, compared to ~~$4.1~~$3.3 million for the same period in 2016. The ~~increase~~decrease is driven primarily by reduced general and administrative salary cost resulting from a reduction in ~~headcount.~~

headcount and lower travel costs.

Engineering and development expenses ~~remained consistent at~~decreased $0.9 million, or 39.8% to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $2.2 million for the ~~three-month~~same period ~~ended March 31, 2017 compared~~in 2016. The decrease is primarily related to ~~March 31, 2016.~~

reduced headcount in engineering and development, and lower travel costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.2 million, or ~~8.1%~~14.0% to ~~$1.5~~$1.4 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2016.

Restructuring charges were ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, compared to $0$0.3 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is due primarily to ~~severance charges.~~

~~Other~~legal costs incurred related to merger activity.

Interest expense ~~(income), net~~ was ~~$0.7~~$0.9 million in expense for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 ~~due to financing charges related to our debt,~~ compared to ~~($0.1)~~$0.5 million in interest ~~income~~expense for the same period in 2016.

The increase is due to interest expense on our subordinated debt, as well as interest incurred on our senior debt.

We recorded tax expense of $0.1 million and a tax benefit of $0.1 million for ~~both~~ the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, and ~~2016.~~2016 respectively. The effective tax rates were ~~(1.9%~~(2.4%) and ~~(2.8%)~~3.3% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For both periods, the difference in the effective tax rate compared to the federal statutory rate, and the reason we recorded deferred income tax expense while generating a net loss before income taxes, are due primarily to the book and tax basis and accounting difference for certain long and indefinite lived assets. We have also recognized a provision for income tax expense for certain state income taxes that cannot utilize offsetting net operating losses.

Total revenue decreased $7.4 million, or 13.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $45.7 million from $53.1 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in total revenue is primarily related to the decreases in subscription and support revenue and embedded devices and hardware revenue, which is discussed below.

Subscription and support revenues decreased $6.1 million, or 13.7%, to $38.1 million from $44.2 million in 2016. The decrease is driven by 2G disconnects associated with the AT&T 2G network sunset that occurred on December 31, 2016. Embedded devices and hardware revenue decreased $1.4 million, or 15.2%, to $7.5 million from $8.9 million in 2016. The decrease is driven by customer’s replacement of their 2G products in 2016 in anticipation of the AT&T 2G network sunset that occurred on December 31, 2016.

Total cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $1.8 million, or 6.6%, to $25.0 million compared to $26.8 million for the same period in 2016. Comprising that decrease, the cost of revenue for subscription and support services decreased $1.3 million, or 7.7%, to $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $17.2 million for the same period in 2016. Cost of revenue for embedded devices and hardware decreased $1.3 million, or 14.2% to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2016. The total decrease in costs of sales is primarily related to a reduction of embedded devices and hardware sales in 2017 versus the comparable period in 2016.

Inventory reserve expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $0.8 million, or 163.6%, to $1.4 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in the reserve is related to current inventory which will be impacted by the introduction of our LTE products.

Total gross profit for the period ended September 30, 2017 decreased $5.6 million, or 21.4% to $20.7 million compared to $26.3 million for the same period in 2016 for the reasons stated above. Excluding the inventory reserve, gross profit margin percentage decreased to 48.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 50.5% for the same period in 2016.

Sales and marketing expense decreased $1.4 million, or 15.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $8.0 million compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in promotional activities during the quarter, as well as reduced headcount and lower travel costs.

General and administrative expense decreased $3.6 million, or 31.8%, to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is driven primarily by reduced general and administrative salary cost resulting from a reduction in headcount and lower travel costs.

Engineering and development expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 24.0% to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is driven primarily by reduced engineering and development salary costs resulting from a reduction in headcount, and lower travel costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.6 million, or 12.0% to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2016.

Restructuring charges were $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily related to severance and the sublease loss recorded in June 2016 for the relocation of our corporate headquarters offset by legal costs associated with merger and debt activity.

Loss on the extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was related to the refinancing of our debt with Crystal which took place on June 7, 2017. Loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was related to the refinancing of our debt with Silicon Valley Bank which took place in March 2016.

Interest expense was $2.3 million in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.2 million in interest expense for the same period in 2016. The increase is due to interest expense on our subordinated debt, as well higher interest rates on our debt, as well as higher amortization of deferred financing costs in 2017.

Other expense (income), net was $0.8 million in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and was primarily due to non-capitalizable finance and legal charges related to our debt.

We recorded tax expense of $0.2 million and a tax benefit of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016 respectively. The effective tax rates were (2.4%) and 1.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For both periods, the difference in the effective tax rate compared to the federal statutory rate, and the reason we recorded deferred income tax expense while generating a net loss before income taxes, are due primarily to the book and tax basis and accounting difference for certain long and indefinite lived assets. We have also recognized a provision for income tax expense for certain state income taxes that cannot utilize offsetting net operating losses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA, which are presented below, are non-GAAP measures and do not purport to be alternatives to

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

operating income as a measure of operating performance. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to and used by investors and other users of the financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across periods.

We believe that:

•

EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest, income tax, and depreciation and amortization expenses, which can vary substantially from company-to-company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and

•

Investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of equity-based compensation and other unusual or infrequently occurring items which vary widely from company-to-company and impair comparability.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

•

~~as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis;~~

•

~~as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and~~

•

~~in communications with the board of directors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.~~

as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis;

as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and

in communications with the board of directors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.

Although we believe, for the foregoing reasons, that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our results of operations, the non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures is subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges should properly be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. Management accounts for these limitations by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures, but only using such information to supplement GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same non-GAAP measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those used by other companies.

EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization expense, impairment of non-current assets, interest expense, other net non-operating expense and income tax expense and subtracting other net non-operating income and income tax benefit to net (loss) income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding the effect of equity-based compensation and additional non-cash and other charges from the calculation of EBITDA. Management believes that this measure provides additional relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data, including our lender, in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.

We believe that excluding depreciation and amortization expenses of property, equipment and intangible assets to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation that is useful to our lender and investors’ understanding of our core operating results and trends. Not only are depreciation and amortization expenses based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on present or future replacement costs, but also they are based on our estimates of remaining useful lives.

We believe that excluding the effects of equity-based compensation from non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors’ understanding of our core operating results and trends. Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding equity-based compensation as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating our future results.

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

Equity-based compensation is an important part of total compensation, especially from the perspective of employees. We believe, however, that supplementing GAAP income from continuing operations by providing income from continuing operations, excluding the effect of equity-based compensation in all periods, is useful to investors because it enables additional and more meaningful period-to-period comparisons.

~~Non-cash~~

Restructuring, non-cash and other ~~items include restructuring, recruiting fees,~~charges, includes severance, one-time facility costs, inventory reserves, one-time legal costs for transaction related ~~to an internal ERP systems integration upgrade, a network systems evaluation, acquisition related costs,~~work, and other ~~costs, such as legal and accounting costs associated with debt refinancing, audit consent fees, rework and setup costs, and costs related to the 2G shutdown.~~one-time items. We believe these costs are unusual costs that we do not expect to recur on a regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these charges as a component of ongoing operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to —– not a substitute for —– results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not purport to represent cash flow provided by operating activities as defined by GAAP. Furthermore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company does not have any additional borrowing capacity under its loan agreement with ~~Crystal.~~

~~TABLE OF CONTENTS~~

As previously reported, on March 31, 2017, we entered into the Third Amendment to Term Loan Agreement and Limited Waiver (“Third Amendment”) with Crystal. Pursuant to this amendment, Crystal agreed to waive certain specified events of default, including events of default arising out of our failure to meet financial covenants with respect to minimum adjusted EBITDA, minimum fixed charge ratio, maximum total net coverage, and maximum subscriber churn, as well as events of default arising out of our failure to notify Crystal of certain events as required and to update certain schedules provided to Crystal. The Third Amendment also included modifications to the financial covenants under the Term Loan Agreement, effective as of the date of the amendment.

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, we were required to prepay $5,000,000 of the principal outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, and we agreed to pay Crystal an additional $2,000,000 of principal on June 1, 2017 unless we have entered into a sale transaction prior to that date. In connection with the Third Amendment, we agreed to pay to Crystal an amendment fee of $200,000, $100,000 of which was paid on the date of the amendment and the remainder of which is payable on June 1, 2017 unless we complete a sale or refinancing transaction before that date. The Third Amendment further provides that, by June 1, 2017, we must either enter into a sale agreement or a binding commitment letter to refinance our obligations under the Term Loan Agreement, or engage an investment banker reasonably acceptable to Crystal to advise and assist us in entering into a sale or refinancing transaction. There can be no assurance that we will refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.

The market risk in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in financial rates. We are exposed to market risk in the area of interest rates. These exposures are directly related to our normal funding and investing activities.

We also hold cash balances in accounts with commercial banks in the United States and foreign countries. These cash balances represent operating balances only and are invested in short-term time deposits of the local bank. Such operating cash balances held at banks outside the United States are denominated in the local currency and are minor.We held $0.7 million and $0.3 million in foreign bank accounts as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the ending exchange rate from the prior period which materially approximates the average exchange rates for each period. Resulting translation adjustments are

reflected as other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Except for transactions with customers and vendors in Canada, substantially all other transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Foreign operations were not significant to us for the quarter or year to date ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our long term debt that carries variable rate interest. The impact of a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a change in annual interest expense of $0.2 million.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rules ~~13a-15(f)~~13a – 15(f). Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance as to the reliability of financial statement preparation and presentation. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) inInternal Control —– Integrated Framework, issued in 2013. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
