SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report (the “Report”) includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under “Risk Factors” may not be exhaustive.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The balance sheet at December 31, 20212022 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, which are referenced herein. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 20222023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly state our financial position as of September 30, 20222023 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20222023 or for any future interim period.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Gain on sale of digital assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was previously included in Other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and Other adjustments in the statement of cash flows has been reclassified to Gain on sale of digital assets in each respective financial statement.
Going Concern Liquidity and Management’s Plan
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern ("ASC 205-40") requires management to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by this standard, management’s initial evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.
We have a history of losses in each fiscal year since our inception. Total backlog and cash-on-hand for the period then ended did not meet our expectations, as a result of uncertainty of the broader marketplace. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $40,006 and used $22,872 in cash for operations.
In July 2022, the Company raised additional cash proceeds in the amount of $11,795 through the issuance of a note, as detailed in Note 6, Debt. In accordance with the note, we can defer one monthly payment in the amount $1,566 up to twelve times. Furthermore, as more fully described in Note 9, Stockholders Equity, in January 2022, we entered into a sales agreement,

pursuantWe have a history of net losses since our inception. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $29,772, used $15,869 in cash for operations and have a working capital deficiency of $12,721. The foregoing conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our financial obligations as they become due.
In performing the next step of our going concern assessment, we are required to evaluate whether our plans to mitigate the conditions above alleviate the substantial doubt. Our assessment included the preparation of a detailed cash forecast that included projected cash inflows and outflows. We continue to focus on growing our revenues, and accordingly, we expect operating expenditures to exceed future revenue for the foreseeable future. We have implemented a plan to decrease our cash burn by reducing headcount and other operating expenditures. We have also raised additional funds in our at-the-market equity offering and entered into an amendment to our 2022 Promissory Note, which allows the holder to convert outstanding amounts due into shares of our common stock. In addition, in August 2023, we may offer andentered into a stock purchase agreement, which subject to limitations contained within the agreement, allows us to sell shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $100,000. We currently anticipate selling common stock through our at-the-market offering, if needed. Sales of sharesthe investor. Our future plans may include additional reductions to operating expenses, additional sales of our common stock sold under the salesin our at-the-market offering and pursuant to a stock purchase agreement will be madewith a certain investor, and issuing additional shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants or units pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 in the amountstatement.
Despite a history of $200,000 filed with the SEC on February 1, 2022. We may also sell additional securities, including common stock, preferred stock, warrantssuccessfully implementing similar plans, these sources of working capital are not currently assured, and units through private placement transactions or public offerings. We believe the foregoing plansconsequently do not sufficiently mitigate the Company’s going concern considerations.
risks and uncertainties disclosed above. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms or at all. In addition, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs and support our growth. If additional funding cannot be obtained on a timely basis and/orand on satisfactory terms, our operations couldwould be materially negatively impacted. We have therefore concluded there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Nasdaq listing
On April 13, 2023, we received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”) because the bid price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The notice from Nasdaq stated that, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 10, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
On October 10, 2023, we submitted a request to Nasdaq for an additional 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. On October 12, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq advising that the Company had been granted a 180-day extension to April 8, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, take all measures necessary to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement within the compliance period provided by Nasdaq, including effecting a reverse stock split.
If we fail to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement prior to the conclusion of the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notification that its securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, except as set forth below.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 introduces a model based on expected losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In addition, for available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. We adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We plan to implement ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires managementus to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atin the date of thecondensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Items subject to the use of estimates include, but are not limited to, the standalone selling price for our products and services, our various digital asset transactions, stock-based compensation, useful lives of long-lived assets including intangibles, fair value of intangible assets and the recoverability or impairment of tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, contingent consideration for our business combination with Lyte and periodic reassessment of fair value, allocating the fair value of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our business combination, reserves and certain accrued liabilities, the benefit period of deferred commissions, assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation method, such as the current trading price of our common stock at time of exercise of our warrant, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate and provision for (benefit from) income taxes.accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.material.
3. Supplemental Information
Risks and Uncertainties
Regulation governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, digital assets, digital asset exchanges, utility tokens, security tokens and offerings of digital assets is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development and the value of our tokens.tokens and token ecosystem. Regulation of digital assets, like PhunCoin and PhunToken, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencydigital asset exchanges, is evolving and likely to continue to evolve. Regulation also varies significantly among international, federal, state and local jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future adopt laws, regulations, or guidance, or take other actions, which may severely impact the permissibility of tokens generally and the technology behind them or the means of transaction or in transferring them. Any such violationslaws, regulations, guidance or other actions could adversely affect theour ability of us to maintain PhunCoin and PhunToken, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. Failure by us to comply with any such laws rules and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could also result in a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, trade accounts receivable and our digital asset holdings.
Although we limit our exposure to credit loss by depositing our cash with established financial institutions that management believes have good credit ratings and represent minimal risk of loss of principal, our deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
There is currently no clearing house for our digital assets, including our bitcoin ethereum or other digital asset holdings, nor is there a central or major depository for the custody of our digital assets. There is a risk that some or all of our digital asset holdings could be lost or stolen. There can be no assurance that the custodians will maintain adequate insurance or that such coverage will cover losses

with respect to our digital asset holdings. Further, transactions denominated in digital assets are irrevocable. Stolen or incorrectly transferred digital assets may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed

transactions could adversely affect our financial condition. The aggregate cost basis (prior to impairment) of our digital asset holdings was $42,280$107 and $41,964$37,737 at September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.
Although we limit our exposure to credit loss by depositing our cash with established financial institutions that management believes have good credit ratings and represent minimal risk of loss of principal, our deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable, and we believe the carrying value approximates fair value.
The following table sets forth our concentration of accounts receivable, net of specific allowances for doubtful accounts.

Total inventory$899 $2,780 
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill arises from purchase business combinations and is measured as the excess of the cost of the business acquired over the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, less any liabilities assumed. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, we do not amortize goodwill but rather assess its carrying value for indications of impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. We typically perform our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of October 1st of each year; however, as our stock has sustained a decline, we believe this, among other qualitative factors, including, but not limited to continued losses with our Lyte reporting unit, indicates the carrying amount of our goodwill may be impaired.
Our business is classified into two reporting units: Phunware and Lyte. We performed quantitative assessment on both our reporting units as of September 30, 2023, using a discounted cash flow model. Based on the analysis performed, we concluded that the carrying amount of both our reporting units exceeded their respective fair values resulting in non-cash impairment charges of $9,043 and $4,145, for our Phunware and Lyte reporting units, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The goodwill impairment analysis referenced above used the discounted cash flow model (income approach) utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. Significant assumptions in this analysis included, but were not limited to, future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capital, the terminal growth rate and the tax rate. Estimates of future cash flows are based on current regulatory and economic climates, recent operating results, and planned business strategies. These estimates could be negatively affected by changes in federal, state, or local regulations or economic downturns. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from estimates. If the Company’s ongoing estimates of future cash flows are not met or if discount rates change, the Company may have to record additional impairment charges in future periods. We also used the Guideline Public Company Method (market approach). The significant assumptions used in this analysis include, but are not limited to, the derived multiples from comparable market transactions and other market data. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting unit operates giving consideration
11

Table of Contents
to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products. We applied an overall probability-weighting to the income and market approaches to determine the concluded fair value of the reporting unit. We believe the current assumptions and estimates utilized in the income and market approaches are both reasonable and appropriate.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including those related to our outstanding warrants and stock equity plans, to the extent dilutive. For all periods presented, these shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share of common stock because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods presented.
The following table sets forth common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the computation of dilutive weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Total11,770,618 9,925,306 
Fair Value Measurements
We follow the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We use a fair value hierarchy, which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 are set forth below:

4. Revenue
Our platform revenue consists of SDK license subscriptions and application development services, as well as application transactions, which are comprised of in-app advertising and sales of our digital asset, PhunToken. Hardware revenue relates to the sale of high-performance personal computers. Refer to our revenue recognition policy under the subheading, Revenue Recognition, in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table sets forth our net revenues by category:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2023202220232022
Platform revenue$1,253 $1,259 $3,893 $5,379 
Hardware revenue1,539 3,499 7,133 11,642 
Net revenues$2,792 $4,758 $11,026 $17,021 
We generate revenue in domestic and foreign regions and attribute net revenue to individual countries based on the location of the contracting entity. We derived over 99% of our net revenues from within the United States for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we derived 100% and 97% of our net revenues from the United States, respectively.
Deferred Revenue
Our deferred revenue balance consisted of the following:
September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Current deferred revenue
Platform revenue$1,437 $1,531 
Hardware revenue79 1,373 
Total current deferred revenue$1,516 $2,904 
Non-current deferred revenue
Platform revenue$743 $1,274 
Total non-current deferred revenue$743 $1,274 
Total deferred revenue$2,259 $4,178 
Deferred revenue consists of customer billings or payments received in advance of the recognition of revenue under the arrangements with customers. We recognize deferred revenue as revenue only when revenue recognition criteria are met. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized revenue of $3,167 that was included in our deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations were $4,788 as of September 30, 2023, of which we expect to recognize approximately 37% as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
PhunToken
In 2021, we announced the commencement of the selling of PhunToken. PhunToken is our innovative digital asset intended to be utilized within our token ecosystem, once developed, to help drive engagement by unlocking features and capabilities of our platform. We did not sell any PhunToken during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine
14

Table of Contents
months ended September 30, 2022, we sold 186.8 million PhunToken for an aggregate of $1,533, for which we received both cash and digital assets from customers. Sales of PhunToken are recorded within platform revenue in the table above.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total issued PhunToken were 377.2 million. Total supply of PhunToken is capped at 10 billion.

5. Digital Assets
Payments by customers in and purchases by us of digital assets were primarily of bitcoin and ethereum. We currently account for all digital assets held as a result of these transactions as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. We have ownership of and control over our digital assets and we may use third-party custodial services or self-custody solutions to secure them. The digital assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured, net of any impairment losses incurred since acquisition.
We determine the fair value of our digital assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on quoted prices on the active exchange(s) that we have determined is the principal market for bitcoin, ethereum and other digital asset holdings (Level 1 inputs). We perform an analysis each quarter to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices on active exchanges, indicate that it is more likely than not that our digital assets are impaired. In determining if an impairment has occurred, we consider the lowest intraday market price quoted on an active exchange since acquiring the respective digital asset. If the then current carrying value of a digital asset exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss has occurred with respect to those digital assets in the amount equal to the difference between their carrying values and the fair value. The fair value of our digital asset holdings at September 30, 2023 is $78.
The impaired digital assets are written down to their fair value at the time of impairment and this new cost basis will not be adjusted upward for any subsequent increase in fair value. Gains are not recorded until realized upon sale.sale, at which point they are presented net of any impairment losses for the same digital assets held. In determining the gain or loss to be recognized upon sale, we calculate the difference between the sales price and carrying value of the digital assets sold immediately prior to sale. Impairment losses and gains or losses on sales are recognized within other expenseincome (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.loss. Impairment loss was $0 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Restricted shares subject to repurchase provisions relating to early exercises under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan were excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock adjusted to include the effect of shares issuable pursuant to our convertible note(s), the exercise of in-the-money warrants and options and unvested restricted stock units, to the extent dilutive. Shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share when their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive or out-of-the-money.
The following table sets forth common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the computation of dilutive weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We follow the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, to account for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy, which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs)

and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. Our financial instruments measured at fair value as of September 30, 2022 are set forth below:

The carrying value of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 introduces a model based on expected losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In addition, for available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a smaller reporting company, the standard is currently effective for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We currently intend to adopt this new standard effective January 1, 2023. We currently do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40), (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As the Company does not currently have any debt with conversion features outstanding, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
3. Business Combination
On October 18, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Lyte with an adjusted purchase price of approximately $11.0 million (subject to an earn-out provision). This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged was recorded at estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on management’s estimates and assumptions at the time of acquisition. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. The fair values of the aggregate assets and liabilities acquired are disclosed in in Note 3, Business Combination, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we have not booked any adjustments to the initial fair values booked at acquisition date.
Pursuant to terms of the stock purchase agreement, the acquisition and earn-out payments consist of the following: (i) $1,125, as adjusted for working capital items, on June 30, 2022, (ii) the issuance of shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $2,250, in two equal installments valued at up to $1,125, determined on the last business day of each of the quarters ending March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 and (iii) up to $1,250 in cash and issuance of shares of our common stock valued at up to $1,250 on the first anniversary of closing, as an earn-out payment based upon Lyte achieving certain annual revenue milestones as provided in the purchase agreement in the year following closing. The revenue milestones were achieved, and accordingly, we made the earn out payment in October 2022. There is $2,449 and $5,531 recorded in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to fair value of future acquisition payments and earn out payable due to the seller.

PhunToken
In May 2021, we announced the commencement of the selling of PhunToken. PhunToken is our innovative digital asset intended to be utilized within our token ecosystem, once developed, to help drive engagement by unlocking features and capabilities of our MaaS platform. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold 187.0 million PhunToken for an aggregate of $1,535, for which we received both cash and digital assets from customers.

2022 Promissory Note
On July 6, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement and completed the sale of an unsecured promissory note (the "2022 Promissory Note") with an original principal amount of $12,809 in a private placement with the same investor of our 2021 Promissory Note, discussed further below.placement. The 2022 Promissory Note was sold with an original issue discount of $492 and we paid at closing issuance costs totaling $522. After deducting all transaction fees paid by us at closing, net cash proceeds to the Company at closing were $11,795. No interest willwas to accrue on the 2022 Promissory Note unless and until the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the 2022 Promissory Note. Beginning on November 1, 2022, and on the same day of each month thereafterour monthly amortization payment was approximately $1,566, until the 2022 Promissory Note is paid in full, we are required to make a monthly amortization payments in the amount of $1,566 until theoriginal maturity date of July 1, 2023, which is subject to adjustment for any payment deferrals we elect.2023. We havehad the right to defer any monthly payment by one month up to twelve times so long as certain conditions, as defined in the 2022 Promissory Note, are satisfied. In the event we exercise the deferral right for any given month: (i) the outstanding balance will automatically increase by 1.85%; (ii) we will not be obligated to make the monthly payment for such month; and (iii) the maturity date will be extended for one month. We may prepay any or all outstanding balance of the 2022 Promissory Note earlier than it is due with a prepayment premiumby paying the noteholder 110% of 110%.the portion of the outstanding balance we elect to prepay. The prepayment premium also applies to the monthly amortization payments.
On March 15, 2023, we elected to defer monthly payment obligations for April, May, June and July 2023, as permitted, at the time, by the 2022 Promissory Note. In connection therewith, we entered into a waiver agreement with the holder waiving the Payment Deferral Conditions, as defined in the 2022 Promissory Note. For agreeing to waive the Payment Deferral Conditions, we agreed to compensate the noteholder an amount equal to 5% of the outstanding balance immediately before entering into the waiver agreement. As a result of our election to defer the four (4) monthly payments, the outstanding balance of the 2022 Promissory Note was increased by 1.85% on the first day of each month beginning on April 1, 2023 and concluding on July 1, 2023. The waiver fee and the additional principal was to be paid in connection with our monthly installment payments once the deferral period concluded. Beginning on August 1, 2023 and on the same day of each month thereafter, we were required to pay to the noteholder the new monthly amortization payment in the amount of $1,769. We evaluated the modification in accordance with the guidance as in ASC 470 - Debt, and we concluded that the modification was not an extinguishment of the original debt; therefore, no gain or loss was recognized upon modification.
On August 14, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the 2022 Promissory Note with the noteholder. The amendment extends the maturity date to May 31, 2024 and provides that effective August 1, 2023, we are required to make monthly amortization payments of at least $800 commencing on August 31, 2023 until the 2022 Promissory Note is paid-in-full. Furthermore, the amendment removed the required payment of $1,769 that was due on August 1, 2023. We also granted the holder certain limited conversion rights, subject to advance payment and volume conditions. Conversions into shares of our common stock made pursuant to the limited conversion rights will be calculated on a conversion price equal to 90% of the lower of (i) the closing trading price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date for such conversion or (ii) the average closing trading price of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date for such conversion. If the holder elects to convert pursuant to the limited conversion option, such conversions will reduce the current month’s monthly amortization payment. Any conversions in any given month in excess of the $800 monthly payment will be applied to reduce the following month's required monthly amortization payment. In connection with the amendment, we agreed to pay an extension fee equal to approximately $708, which is 10% of the outstanding principal balance of the 2022 Promissory Note. The amendment also provides that the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at a rate of 8% beginning on August 1, 2023, and payment deferrals are no longer permitted under the 2022 Promissory Note. We evaluated the amendment in accordance with ASC 470 - Debt, and we concluded that the modification was an extinguishment of the original debt. Accordingly, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $237 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. In accounting for the amendment, we reviewed other applicable guidance and determined the amendment met the criteria to be accounted for as share-settled debt pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14(a) as the settlement amount is based on a fixed monetary amount settled in a variable number of shares.
The 2022 Promissory Note had a principal balance of $12,809$5,563 and $9,962 and debt discount of $634$0 and $295 at September 30, 2022.
2021 Promissory Note
In connection with the acquisition of Lyte, we entered into a note purchase agreement and completed the sale of an unsecured promissory note (the "2021 Promissory Note") with an original principal amount of $5,220 in a private placement that closed on October 18, 2021. The 2021 Promissory Note was sold with an original issue discount of $200 and we paid at closing issuance costs totaling $280. After deducting all transaction costs, net cash proceeds to the Company were $4,740. No interest will accrue on the 2021 Promissory Note unless and until the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the 2021 Promissory Note). Beginning on January 15, 2022 and on the same day of each month thereafter until the 2021 Promissory Note is paid in full, we are required to make a monthly amortization payments in the amount of $574 until the maturity date of October 15, 2022. We may prepay any or all outstanding balance of the 2021 Promissory Note earlier than it is due with a prepayment premium of 110%. The prepayment premium also applies to the monthly amortization payments, which amounts to an effective interest rate of approximately 18%.
The 2021 Promissory Note had a principal balance of $522 and $5,220 and debt discount of $6 and $316 at September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. In October 2022, we paid the final payment amount of $574 on the 2021 Promissory Note.

On February 18, 2022, certain stockholders filed a lawsuit against Phunware and its individual officers and directors. The case, captioned Wild Basin Investments, LLC, et al. v. Phunware, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the state of Delaware (Cause No. 2022-0168-LWW). Plaintiffs alleged that they invested in various early rounds of financing while the Company was private and that Phunware should not have subjected their shares to a 180-day “lock up” period. Plaintiffs also allege that Phunware’s stock price dropped significantly during the lock up period and seek damages, costs and professional fees. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on May 27, 2022 and on July 15, 2022, Plaintiffs filed their answering brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss and a partial motion for summary judgement. All briefing and oral argument on the motion to dismiss and motion for partial summary judgement is complete. TheBoth parties argued their positions before the Court of Chancery has not yet set a date forduring a hearing on April 4, 2023. On June 16, 2023, the motions.Court ruled on the motions without filing a written opinion. From the bench, Vice Chancellor Cook granted Phunware’s motion to dismiss on the Texas law-based claims and denied both the motion to dismiss and partial motion for summary judgment on the Delaware law claims. The parties engaged in mediation in July 2023. We intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit and any appeals. We have not recorded an expensea liability related to this matter because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable. Additionally, we cannot presently estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from the matter. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matter, or other similar matters, if resolved in a manner unfavorable to us, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

From time to time, we are and may become involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The outcomes of our legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our operating results and cash flows for a particular reporting period. In addition, for the matters disclosed above that do not

Financial Statements.In addition to historical financial information, As discussed in the section titled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Phunware’sOur actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report.
Certain figures, such as interest rates and other percentages, included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our condensed consolidated financial statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.
Key Events and Recent Developments
The Board of Directors has fixed December 20, 2023 as the date for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
On October 25, 2023, we entered into a separation agreement with Russell Buyse, our Chief Executive Officer, in which Mr. Buyse's employment terminated with the Company effective immediately. On the same date, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Michael Snavely, our Chief Revenue Officer, as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Buyse and the Company entered into a consulting agreement that concluded on November 10, 2023.
On November 1, 2023, we announced the suspension of our Lyte Technology operations. The suspension is expected to relieve strain on the Company's cash burn, while realigning emphasis on our software solutions, while exploring additional monetization of our intellectual property, as well as, our goal to complete our blockchain ecosystem. We estimate to incur cash charges related to the shutdown of between $0.2 million to $0.4 million, a substantial portion of which will be allocated to our efforts to negotiate a buyout of the real estate facilities utilized for the Lyte segment. We may also incur non-cash charges related to impairment of intangibles and inventory.

Key Business Metrics
Our management regularly monitors certain financial measures to track the progress of our business against internal goals and targets. We believe that the most important of these measures include backlog and deferred revenue.
Backlog and Deferred Revenue. Backlog represents future amounts to be invoiced under our current agreements. At any point in the contract term, there can be amounts that we have not yet been contractually able to invoice. Until such time as these amounts are invoiced, they are not recorded in revenues,revenue, deferred revenue, accounts receivable or elsewhere in our condensed consolidated financial statements, and are considered by us to be backlog. We expect backlog to fluctuate up or down from period to period for several reasons, including the timing and duration of customer contracts, varying billing cycles and the timing and duration of customer renewals. We reasonably expect approximately 36%53% of our backlog as of September 30, 20222023 will be invoiced during the subsequent 12-month period, primarily due to the fact that our contracts are typically one to three years in length.
In addition, our deferred revenue consists of amounts that have been invoiced but that have not yet been recognized as revenues as of the end of athe reporting period. Together, the sum of deferred revenue and backlog represents the total billed and unbilled contract value yet to be recognized in revenues and provides visibility into future revenue streams.
The following table sets forth our backlog and deferred revenue:

As of September 30, 2022, there was $2.3 million of backlog subject to cancellation per a contract with a particular customer. As of the date of this Report, we expect the customer will proceed with the full contracted amount.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which may provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior period results. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") (our "non-GAAP financial measures"). Management uses these measures (i) to compare operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for itsour employees, (iii) for planning purposes including the preparation of itsour internal annual operating budget and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of operational strategies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to revenue or net income (loss),loss, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
24

Table of Contents
 
Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;
Our non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of ongoing operations, and;operations; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate our non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
29

Table of Contents
We compensate for these limitations to our non-GAAP financial measures by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using our non-GAAP financial measures only for supplemental purposes. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments for items that may not occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other peer companies over time. For example, it is useful to exclude non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and these expenses can vary significantly across periods due to timing of new stock-based awards. We may also exclude certain discrete, unusual, one-time, or non-cash costs in order to facilitate a more useful period-over-period comparison of itsour financial performance. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this paragraph help management with a measure of our operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations or are non-cash expenses.
The following table sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures we monitor.

(1)Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin provide supplemental information with respect to gross profit and gross margin regarding ongoing performance. We define adjusted gross profit as net revenues less cost of revenue, adjusted to exclude one-time revenue adjustments, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net revenues.
(2)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjustedadjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of our business that is not dependent on (i) the impact of our capitalization structure and (ii) items that are not part of day-to-day operations. We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization, and further adjusted for (v) non-cash impairment, and(vi) valuation adjustments and (vi)(vii) stock-based compensation expense.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue and Gross Profit
There are a number of factors that impact the revenue and margin profile of the product, service and technology offerings we provide, including, but not limited to, solution and technology complexity, technical expertise requiring the combination of products and types of services provided, as well as other elements that may be specific to a particular client solution.
Platform Revenue and Gross Profit
Our platform revenue consists of software subscriptions, application development services and support and application transactions, which are comprised of in-app advertising and PhunToken sales.
Subscription revenue is derived from software license fees, which compriseare comprised of subscription fees from customers licensing our Software Development Kits (SDKs), that includes accessing the MaaSinclude access to our platform. Subscription revenue from SDK licenses gives the customer the right to access our MaaSlocation-based software platform.
Application development revenue is derived from development services around designing and building new applications or enhancing existing applications. Support revenue is comprised of support and maintenance fees offor customer applications, software updates and technical support for application development services for a support term. From time to time, we may also provide professional services by outsourcing employees’ time and materials to customers.
We generate application transaction revenue by charging advertisers to deliver advertisements (ads) to users of mobile connected devices. Depending on the specific terms of each advertising contract, we generally recognize revenue based on the activity of mobile users viewing these ads. Fees from advertisers are commonly based on the number of ads delivered or views, clicks or actions by users on mobile advertisements delivered, and we recognize revenue at the time the user views, clicks or otherwise acts on the ad. We sell ads through several offerings: cost per thousand impressions and cost per click. DuringIn 2021, we announced the commencement ofcommenced PhunToken sales. PhunToken is designed to reward consumers for their activity, such as watching branded videos, completing surveys and visiting points of interest. We recognize revenue related to PhunToken at time of delivery to a customer's ethereum-based wallet.
Platform gross profit is equal to subscriptions and services revenue less the cost of personnel and related costs for our support and professional services employees, external consultants, stock-based compensation and allocated overhead. Costs associated with our development and project management teams are generally recognized as incurred. Costs directly attributable to the development or support of applications relating to subscription customers are included in cost of sales, whereas costs related to the ongoing development and maintenance of Phunware’s MaaSour software platform are expensed in research and development. Furthermore, gross profit related to application transactions is equal to application transaction revenue less cost of revenue associated with application transactions, which is impacted by the cost of advertising traffic we pay to our suppliers, the amount of traffic which we can purchase from those suppliers and ethereum blockchain fees paid to deliver PhunToken.
As a result, platform gross profit may fluctuate from period to period.
Hardware Revenue and Gross Profit
We acquired Lyte in October 2021. Revenue from Lyte is primarily derived from the sale of high-performance personal computers. Lyte computers are sold with a variety of pre-packaged solutions, as well as customizable solutions selected by our customers. A majority of Lyte's customers pay us via credit card payments, which is managed through a thirdthird- party processor. We recognize revenue at the time a completed unit ships from our facility.
Hardware gross profit is equal to hardware revenue less the costs associated with the assembly of computers. Hardware gross profit is impacted by the costs that we pay for parts incorporated into a Lyte computer system, as well as labor costs of our employees directly attributable to building computer systems and shipping. Demand may exceed available supply at times, which may hamper our ability to deliver computer systems in a timely manner and may increase the costs at which we can obtain inventory needed for computer builds. Customizable solutions we offer our customers may also vary from time to time. As a result, computer hardware revenue and gross profit may fluctuate from period to period. AlthoughEffective November 1, 2023, we plan to invest insuspended our Lyte for future growth, we may experience revenue and gross profit fluctuations as a result of seasonality.operations.

Gross Margin
Gross margin measures gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross margin is generally impacted by the same factors that affect changes in the mix of platform and hardware revenue.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses include sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and, in sales and marketing expense, commissions. Legal settlements pertaining to litigation brought as a result of the Company's operations is also included in operating expenses.
Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense is comprised of compensation, commission expense, variable incentive pay and benefits related to sales personnel, along with travel expenses, other employee related costs, including stock-based compensation and expenses related to marketing programs and promotional activities. We expect ourOur sales and marketing expense willmay increase in absolute dollars as we increase our sales and marketing organizations as we plan to increase revenue but may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense is comprised of compensation and benefits of administrative personnel, including variable incentive pay and stock-based compensation, bad debt expenses and other administrative costs such as facilities expenses, professional fees and travel expenses. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and listing standards of Nasdaq, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.services, including, but not limited to legal and audit related expenses. We also expect to increase the size of our general and administrative function to support the growth of our business. As a result, we expect that our general and administrative expenses willmay increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs and overhead allocation. We believe that continued investment in our platform is important for our growth. As a result, we expect our research and development expenses willmay increase in absolute dollars as our business grows but may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period.
Impairment of Goodwill. Goodwill impairment consists of non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill. We review goodwill for impairment annually on October 1 and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the Company’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment charge equal to the excess is recorded.
Interest Expense 

Interest expense includes interest related to our outstanding debt, including amortization of discounts and deferred issuance costs.

Refer to Note 6 "Debt" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our debt offerings.current debt.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022,2023, we held total cash of $8.5$2.9 million, all of which was held in the United States. We have a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flows. As we continue to focus on growing our revenues, we expect these trends to continue into the foreseeable future.
We may, if needed, sell our digital asset holdings for cash to fund our ongoing operations. As of September 30, 2022, we held 653 bitcoins and 790 ethereum, of which consist of the majority of the digital assets recorded on our balance sheet. The digital asset market historically has been characterized by significant volatility in its price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of instability in the digital asset market, we may not be able to sell our digital asset holdings at reasonable prices, or at all. As a result, our digital assets are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.
On October 18, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Lyte with an adjusted purchase price of approximately $11.0 million (subject to an earn-out provision). Pursuant to terms of the stock purchase agreement, we were obligated to make future cash payments of up to $1.25 million on the first anniversary of closing, as an earn-out payment based upon Lyte achieving certain annual revenue milestones. In October 2022, we paid $1.25 million to the seller of Lyte upon achieving the revenue milestones as provided in the purchase agreement.
In connection with the acquisition of Lyte, we entered into a note purchase agreement and completed the sale of an unsecured promissory note with an original principal amount of $5.2 million in a private placement that closed on October 18, 2021. After deducting all transaction cost, net cash proceeds to the Company were $4.7 million. No interest will accrue on the 2021 Promissory Note unless and until the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the promissory note). We may prepay the outstanding balance of the 2021 Promissory Note earlier than it is due with a prepayment premium of 110%. Beginning on January 15, 2022 and on the same day of each month thereafter until the promissory note is paid in full, we are required to make monthly amortization payments in the amount of $574 thousand which are considered prepayments subject to the prepayment premium. In October 2022, we paid the final payment on the 2021 Promissory Note.
On February 1, 2022, we filed a Form S-3, which was subsequently declared effective by the SEC on February 9, 2022, pursuant to which we may issue up to $200 million in common stock, preferred stock, warrants and units. Contained therein, was a prospectus supplement inpursuant to which we may sell up to $100 million of our common stock in an “at the market offering” pursuant to an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement we entered into with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC on January 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, 2,193,4602023, 20,018,176 shares of our common stock have been sold for aggregate netgross cash proceeds of $3.8$11.5 million.
On July 6, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement and completed the sale of an unsecured promissory note with an original principal amount of $12.8 million in a private placement with the same investor of the note described above.(the "2022 Promissory Note"). After deducting all transaction fees paid by us at closing, net cash proceeds to us at closing were $11.8 million. No interest willwas to accrue on the 2022 Promissory Note unless and until the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the promissory note).Note. Beginning on November 1, 2022 and on the same day of each month thereafter until the promissory note2022 Promissory Note is paid in full, we arewere required to make a monthly amortization payments in the amount of approximately $1.6 million until the original maturity date of July 1, 2022,2023, which iswas subject to adjustment for any payment deferrals we elect. We may prepay any or allelected. On March 15, 2023, we entered into a waiver agreement with the holder of our 2022 Promissory Note, waiving the Payment Deferral Conditions, as defined, at that time, in the 2022 Promissory Note. For agreeing to waive the Payment Deferral Conditions, we agreed to compensate the noteholder an amount equal to 5% of the outstanding balance immediately before entering into the waiver agreement. In connection therewith, we elected to defer the monthly payments under the 2022 Promissory Note for the months of April, May, June and July 2023. As a result of our election to defer the monthly payments, the outstanding balance of the 2022 Promissory Note earlierwas increased by 1.85% on the first day of each month beginning on April 1, 2023 and concluding on July 1, 2023. The waiver fee and the additional principal was to be paid in connection with our monthly installment payments once the deferral period concluded. Beginning on August 1, 2023 and on the same day of each month thereafter, we were required to pay to the noteholder the new monthly amortization payment in the amount of approximately $1.8 million. On August 14, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the 2022 Promissory Note with the noteholder. The amendment extends the maturity date to June 1, 2024 and provides that effective August 1, 2023, we are required to make monthly amortization payments of at least $800 thousand commencing on August 31, 2023 until the 2022 Promissory Note is paid-in-full. We also granted the noteholder certain limited conversion rights, which if elected by the noteholder, would reduce the required monthly payment. The limited conversion rights are subject to advance payment and volume conditions. The amendment also provides that the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at a rate of 8% and payment deferrals are no longer permitted under the 2022 Promissory Note. Furthermore, the amendment removed the required payment of approximately $1.8 million that was due on August 1, 2023.
In July 2023, we implemented a plan to decrease our cash burn by reducing employee headcount and other operating expenditures.
On August 22, 2023, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park up to $30 million in value of shares of our common stock from time to time over the 24-month term of the purchase agreement. On any business day selected by us, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock subject to adjustment as set forth below, on such business day (or the purchase date), which we refer to as a "Regular Purchase," provided, however, that (i) a Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 350,000 shares if the closing sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq is not below $0.20 on the applicable purchase date; (ii) a Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 450,000 shares if the closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq is not below $0.30 on the applicable purchase date; (iii) a Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 550,000 shares if the closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq is not below $0.50 on the applicable purchase date; and (iv) a Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 650,000 shares if the closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq is not below $0.75 on the applicable purchase date. Lincoln Park’s committed obligation under any single Regular Purchase, subject to certain exceptions, cannot exceed $1,000. We may direct Lincoln Park to purchase shares in Regular Purchases as often as every business day, so long as the closing sale price of our common stock on such business day is not less than it is duethe floor price of $0.10 per share. Concurrently with entering into the purchase agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the sale of the shares of the Company’s common stock that have been and may be issued to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold 1,712,503 shares of our common stock, including certain commitment shares issued to Lincoln Park in connection with the transaction, for aggregate net cash proceeds of $88. Transaction costs were $97. As of September 30, 2023, $29.9 million in value of shares of our common stock remains issuable pursuant to the purchase agreement with Lincoln Park.

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, we also raised approximately $0.2 million in our at-the-market equity offering under our At Market Issuance Sales Agreement we entered into with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. Our future plans may include additional reductions to operating expenses, additional sales of our common stock in our at-the-market offering, and issuing additional shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants or units pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement. Plans to generate cash sufficient to meet our capital requirements may include selling shares of our common stock in our at-the-market equity offering, and as of the date of this Report, shares of our common stock with a prepayment premiummaximum aggregate offering price of 110%. The prepayment premium also appliesup to $88.4 million may be sold pursuant to the monthly amortization payments.sales agreement. We may also issue shares of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants and units in other offerings pursuant to our effective registration statement.
As a result ofOur expectation that we will generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows in the financing events described above, whilefuture and the need for additional funding to support our liquidity risk continuesplanned operations raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a resultgoing concern. Management believes that our existing cash would not be sufficient to satisfy our operating cash needs for the year after the filing of continued lossesthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the ongoing and evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, management believes it has sufficient cash on handsubstantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our pace of growth, subscription renewal activity, the timing and extent of spend to support development efforts, the pace at which we can scale Lyte, the expansion of sales and marketing activities and the market acceptance of our products and services. We believe that it is likely we will in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies and intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financings,financing, or issue securities subject to theunder our effective registration statement described above.
In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Furthermore, we are currently not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement of the Nasdaq. Although the Company is attempting to regain compliance, there can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirements. This may also affect our ability to raise additional funds and the liquidity of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and/or on acceptable terms, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers (as defined below), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have beenwere no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connectionconjunction with the evaluation required by RuleRules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Important risk factors that could affect our operations and financial performance, or that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations, are described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors”"Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2022March 31, 2023 for the year ended December 31, 2021, as supplemented by the "Risk Factors" sections in our registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on February 1, 2022, our registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, filed with the SEC on April 27, 2022 and the information set forth below or contained elsewhere in this Report. The risks and uncertainties described within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and the registration statements, as amended,set forth below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business or results of operations.

If we are unable to execute a timely and orderly transition and successfully integrate aour new executiveChief Executive Officer into our leadership team, revenue, operating results and our financial condition may be adversely impacted.

Our future performance also will continue to depend on the services and contributions of our other senior management and key employees to execute on our business plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities as well as service and product innovations. These changes, and any future changes, in our operations and management team could be disruptive to our operations. Further, if our new Chief Executive Officer formulates different or changed views, the future strategy and plans of our business may differ materially from those of the past.

We are subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by a number of governmental and self-regulatory organizations, including the SEC, the Nasdaq, Stock Marketincluding stockholder equity and market value requirements, the FASB. These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity, often making compliance more difficult and uncertain. In addition, increasingly regulators, customers, investors, employees and other stakeholders are focusing on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters and related disclosures. These changing rules, regulations and stakeholder expectations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and increased management time and attention spent complying with or meeting such regulations and expectations. For example, developing and acting on ESG initiatives, and collecting, measuring and reporting ESG information and metrics can be costly, difficult and time consuming and is subject to evolving reporting standards, including the SEC’s recently proposed climate-related reporting requirements. These initiatives and related reporting requirementsNasdaq may present operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks,delist our common stock, which could have a material impact on us.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On April 13, 2023, we were notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) that the closing bid price for our productscommon stock had been below $1.00 for the last 30 consecutive business days and services. Inflationary pressuresthat the Company therefore is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was granted a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or October 10, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. On October 10, 2023, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules, we submitted a request to Nasdaq for an additional 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement and supply chain disruptionsnotice of our intention to cure the deficiency, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. On October 12, 2023, Nasdaq advised us that we were provided an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, or until April 8, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards we may have to implement a reverse stock split, subject to approval of our board of directors and stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.

If we are unable to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by April 8, 2024, or if we fail to meet any other continued listing requirements, including stockholders equity and market value requirements, it could negatively impact us as it would likely reduce the liquidity and market price at which weof our common stock; reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire components required inour common stock; and negatively impact our ability to access equity markets and obtain financing.

If we implement a reverse stock split, the liquidity of our common stock may be adversely effected.

The Company intends to request stockholder approval at its next annual meeting of stockholders for an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary, of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the post-reverse stock split market price of our common stock will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately before the reverse stock split. The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by any reverse stock split given the reduced liquidity and limits onnumber of shares of our ability to access credit or otherwise raise capital.common stock that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split. In addition, the effectsreverse stock split may increase the number of inflation on consumers budgets couldstockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

Following any reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the reductionmarket price of our customers’ spending plans.common stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.

On November 1, 2023, we committed to a plan to discontinue and wind down, either by sale or closing, operations of our PC manufacturing assembly business, Lyte. We expect to complete this process by the end of 2023. As of result, the Company currently estimates that it will incur cash costs related to the wind down of Lyte of between $0.2 million and $0.4 million, and we currently expect these costs to be paid during the fourth quarter of 2023 and primarily funded from proceeds from sale of Lyte’s assets. In addition, we currently expect to incur pre-tax, non-cash losses that could approximate up to $3.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company may incur additional costs or charges related to the actions described above. Although the Company cannot currently predict the amount or timing of these other charges, at this time, these additional costs or charges could be material to our liquidity and financial statements.
