The additional liabilityCompany, was merged with and into Zoom Connectivity in exchange for 10,784,534 shares of approximately $37 thousand relates to sales tax that has been collected and not yet remitted to the respective states.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identificationCommon Stock of the contract, or contracts, withCompany. As a customer; (ii) identificationresult of the performance obligations inmerger, effected December 4, 2020, Zoom Connectivity was the contract; (iii) determinationsurviving entity and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Immediately prior to closing of the Merger Agreement, the majority stockholder of the Company was also the majority stockholder of Zoom Connectivity. As a result of the common ownership upon closing of the transaction, price; (iv) allocationthe merger was considered a common-control transaction and was outside the scope of the transaction price to the performance obligationsbusiness combination guidance in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.


Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer —a contract with a customer exists when the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer, typically a purchase order initiated by the customer, that defines each party’s rights regarding the goodsASC 805-50. The entities are deemed to be transferred, identifiesunder common control as of October 9, 2020, which was the payment terms related to these goods, anddate that the customer has both the ability and intent to pay.
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract —performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred to the customer that are distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us.
Determination of the transaction price—the transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. This would be the agreed upon quantity and price per product type in accordance with the customer purchase order, which is aligned with the Company’s internally approved pricing guidelines.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract— if the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. This applies to the Company as there is only one performance obligation, which is to provide the goods.
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation— the Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time whenmajority stockholder acquired control of the goods transfers toCompany and, therefore, held control over both companies. The consolidated financial statements incorporate Zoom Connectivity’s financial results and financial information for the customer. Determiningperiod beginning October 9, 2020, and the point in time when control transfers requires judgment. Indicators considered in determining whether the customer has obtained control of a good include:
● The Company has a present right to payment
● The customer has legal title to the goods
● The Company has transferred physical possessioncomparative information of the goods
● The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods
● The customer has accepted the goods
The Company has concluded that transfer of control substantively transfers to the customer upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms of the sales agreement.
Warranties- the Companyprior period does not offer customersinclude the optionfinancial results of Zoom Connectivity prior to purchase a warranty separately. Therefore, there is not a separate performance obligation.October 9, 2020. The Company does account for warranties as a cost accrual and the warranties do not include any additional distinct services other than the assurance that the goods comply with agreed-upon specifications. Warranties are variable and are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The estimates due to warranties are historically not material.
Returned Goods- analyses of actual returned product are compared to that of the product return estimates and historically have resulted in no material difference between the two. The Company has concluded that the current process of estimating the return reserve represents a fair measure with which to adjust revenue. Returned goods are variable and are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The Company monitors pending authorized returns of goods and, if deemed appropriate, records the right of return asset accordingly.
Price protection- price protection provides that if the Company reduces the price on any products sold to the customer for eventual resale to an end-user, the Company will guarantee an account credit for the price difference for all quantities of that product that the customer still holds. Price protection is variable and is estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The estimates due to price protection are historically not material.
Volume Rebates and Promotion Programs- volume rebates are variable dependent upon the volume of goods sold-through the Company’s customers to end-users and are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The estimates due to rebates and promotions are historically not material.

(3)REVENUE RECOGNITION

The hardware products include cable modems and gateways, mobile broadband modems, wireless routers, MoCA adapters and mesh home networking devices. The Company derives its net sales primarily from the sales of hardware products to computer peripherals retailers, computer product distributors, OEMs, and direct to consumers and other channel partners via the Internet.

The Company also sells and earns revenues from software as a service (“SaaS”), including software service that enables and secures a better-connected home with the AI-driven smart home WiFi management and security platform. Customers do not have the contractual right or ability to continuetake possession of the hosted software.

The Company has concluded that transfer of control of its hardware products transfers to the customer upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms of the purchase agreement. Revenues from sales of hardware products are recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control.

The Company sells software as going concern withina SaaS offering. The SaaS agreements are offered over a defined contract period, generally one year, fromand are sold to Internet service providers, who then promote the date of filing these financial statements.services to their subscribers. These services are available as an on-demand application over the defined term.

Performance obligations are determined to be distinct if they are both capable of being distinct and contemplates continuitydistinct within the context of operations, realizationthe contract. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria of assetsbeing distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as degree of interrelation and satisfaction of liabilitiesinterdependence between obligations, and commitmentswhether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the normal coursecontract. SaaS included with certain hardware products is considered distinct from the hardware, and therefore the hardware and SaaS software services offerings are treated as separate performance obligations.

After identifying the separate performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis (“SSP”). SSP’s are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the performance obligation is sold separately or using an adjusted market assessment. The estimated SSP of business.the hardware and SaaS offerings are directly observable from the sales of those products and software based on a range of prices.

Revenue is recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. In general, control of the hardware transfers to the customer at time of shipment or delivery while the SaaS offering is delivered over the service period. Revenue attributable to hardware products bundled with SaaS offerings are recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. The Company’s abilitytransaction price allocated to continuethe SaaS offering is recognized ratably beginning when the customer is expected to activate their account and over a three-year period that the Company has estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations for the SaaS offering that are unsatisfied or (partially unsatisfied) as of June 30, 2021:

Other considerations of ASC 606 include the following:

Warranties - the Company does not provide separate warranty for purchase to customers. Therefore, there is not a separate performance obligation. The Company does account for assurance-type warranties as a going concern is contingent upon, among other factors,cost accrual and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, maintain or decrease operating expense ratios, obtain additional equity or debt financing and comply with the financial and other covenants contained in the Company’s Financing Agreement, as amended, as described in Note 7. These financial statementswarranties do not include any adjustmentsadditional distinct services other than the assurance that the goods comply with agreed-upon specifications. The warranty reserve was not material at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Returned Goods - analyses of actual returned products are compared to the recoverabilityproduct return estimates and classificationhistorically have resulted in immaterial differences. The Company has concluded that the current process of recorded asset amountsestimating the return reserve represents a fair measure to adjust revenue. Returned goods are a form of variable consideration and classificationunder Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction of liabilitiesrevenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The sales returns accrual was $1.3 million and $775 thousand at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2020, tariffs were $1.0 million. In the third quarter of 2020, tariffs were $115.5 thousand. These tariffs had an unfavorable impact on our financial performance until July 2020, the first full month after which the Company fully transitioned all of its core production supply out of China. In late 2019, the Company made the decision to move its outsourced manufacturing operations from China to Vietnam, primarily to end the exposure to the trade-war imposed tariffs with China. While the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays in the original transition plan, the Company worked actively with its primary outsourced development partner to establish manufacturing operations in Haiphong, Vietnam. As noted above, the transition to Vietnam was completed in June 2020. All manufacturing of existing models now takes place in Vietnam. For the balance of the year, only the initial manufacturing runs of new models will take place in China.

The Company’s ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity depends in part on its ability to sell inventory on hand, to continue to manufacture and import more inventory to meet existing demand, and to collect related receivables. The Company also continues to work with its distribution partners in North America to deliver inventory to its customers. The current environment is difficult, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises challenges to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company’s ongoing efforts will continue to be successful.

(4) Commitments and

(c) Contingencies

(a) Contingencies

The Company is party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates such lawsuits and proceedings on a case-by-case basis, and its policy is to vigorously contest any such claims which it believes are without merit.

On February 16, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company requesting the opportunity to review certain books and records of the Company to investigate the possibility of breaches of fiduciary duty by current and former members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s controlling stockholder in connection with his and his affiliates’ acquisition of majority control of the Company without compensating the Company’s minority stockholders and the acquisition by merger of Zoom Connectivity in which he held a substantial equity stake. The parties have been in negotiations with the counsel for the purported stockholder to resolve this matter. The Company believes that the resolution of this matter is likely to include the imposition of certain corporate governance restrictions, which would expand on current practices of the Company over a longer period of time than the standstill agreement currently in effect with the Company’s controlling stockholder, on the Company and the controlling stockholder and his affiliates and the payment of legal expenses. The matter is under negotiation and is subject to change based upon the negotiations and any other factors that may arise. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

On June 29, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company making a litigation demand on behalf of the Company and its stockholders to address certain alleged misconduct by the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the implementation of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation without having received proper stockholder approval thereof as required under Delaware corporation law. The letter demanded that the Board of Directors take immediate action to: deem the amendment ineffective and make appropriate disclosure of that fact and seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment; and adopt and implement adequate internal controls and systems at the Company designed to prohibit and prevent a recurrence of the circumstances. The letter requested a response or contact with the law firm on or before July 16, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Correction to void the previously filed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company filed an amendment to a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 22, 2021 and received the requisite stockholder approval of the amendment. On July 23, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. It is also expected that the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will review the Company’s internal controls and systems and the circumstances described in the demand letter to determine if any additional actions are necessary to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances relating to the foregoing events. The Company anticipates that the law firm that sent the demand letter will seek recovery of attorneys’ fees relating to this matter. The ultimate amount of any such recovery could be material but is not presently ascertainable. The Company intends vigorously to defend against any such claim for recovery of legal fees. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

The Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional information becomes available. If either or both of the criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses, that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of the loss cannot be made. Except for the matter disclosed above, at June 30, 2021, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, in management’s opinion, are currently expected to individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition taken as a whole. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.

In the ordinary course of its business, in addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with their business. Some of such additional proceedings include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to such additional legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and that the outcome of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

Overview

Minim delivers a comprehensive WiFi as a Service platform to make everyone’s connected home safe and supportive for life and work.

We believe the home router must go the way of the mobile phone. Today’s routers are simple, single-purpose devices that rarely receive firmware updates and have underdeveloped management applications, making them the #1 target in residential cybersecurity attacks. It can be so much more.

The router must offer frequent security updates, helpful apps, extensive personalization options and a delightful interface. That is what Minim delivers— not just the router or just an app, but WiFi as a Service. Technically, it’s composed of an intelligent router managed by a smart operating system that leverages cloud computing and AI to analyze and optimize the smart home, combined with intuitive applications to engage with it.

Minim serves both consumers and businesses with its WiFi as a Service platform:

The Company was founded in 1977 and is headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire.

COVID-19 Pandemic

We are experienced in electronics hardware, firmware,subject to risks and software design and test, regulatory certifications, product documentation, and packaging; and we use that experience in developing each product in-house or in partnership with suppliers who are typically based in Asia. Electronic assembly and testing of our products in accordance with our specifications is typically done in Asia, and we conduct further testing, and manage warehousing shipping and related distribution logistics in our Tijuana facility.

The Company has been headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts since its founding in 1977. Our current headquarters is located at 101 Arch Street, Boston, MA 02110. The Company signed a twelve-month lease agreement for offices at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, MA and completed the move to this location on June 28, 2019. This lease originally expired on June 30, 2020, and the Company continued to lease space on a short-term basis until October 31, 2020. At that time, the Company signed a month to month lease agreement for office space at 101 Arch Street, Boston, MA beginning November 1, 2020, while reviewing options for long-term lease for headquarters in Boston.
In May 2020, the Company signed a two-year lease agreement for 3,218 square feet at 275 Turnpike Executive Park, Canton MA. The agreement includes a one-time option to cancel the second year of lease with three-months' advance notice. The location is currently occupied by the research and development group of the Company.
We also lease a test/warehouse/ship facility in Tijuana, Mexico. In November 2014, we entered into a one-year lease with five one-year renewal options thereafter for an 11,390 square foot facility in Tijuana, Mexico. In September 2015, we extended the term of the Tijuana lease from December 1, 2015 through November 30, 2018. In September 2015, we also signed a new lease for additional space in the adjacent building, which doubled the existing capacity of our Tijuana facility. The original term of the lease was from March 1, 2016 through November 30, 2018. The Company currently has signed a lease extension to stay in the existing facilities through at least November 30, 2020 and is in the process of extending for another two years to November 30, 2022.
We continually seek to improve our product designs and manufacturing approach in order to improve product performance and reduce our costs. We pursue a strategy of outsourcing rather than internally developing our modem chipsets, which are application-specific integrated circuits that form the technology base for our modems. By outsourcing the chipset technology, we are able to concentrate our research and development resources on modem system design, leverage the extensive research and development capabilities of our chipset suppliers, and reduce our development time and associated costs and risks. Asuncertainties as a result of this approach,the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains highly uncertain and difficult to predict as coronavirus continues to spread around the world including through new variants. Although the availability of vaccines has increased, there are no assurances as to when the pandemic will be contained. Since March 2020, we are able to quickly develop new products while maintaininghave instituted office closures, travel restrictions and a relatively low level of research and development expense as a percentage of net sales. We also outsource aspectsmandatory work-from-home policy for substantially all of our manufacturingemployees. The spread of COVID-19 has had a prolonged impact on our supply chain operations due to contract manufacturers as a means of reducing our costs of production,restrictions, reduced capacity and to provide us with greater flexibility in our production capacity.
Our gross margin for a given product generally depends on a number of factors including tariffs, shipping methods and the type of customer tolimited availability from suppliers whom we are selling.rely on for sourcing components and materials and from third-party partners whom we rely on for manufacturing, warehousing and logistics services. Although demand for our products has been strong in the short-term as consumers seek more bandwidth and better Wi-Fi, customers’ purchasing decisions over the long-term may be impacted by the pandemic and its impact on the economy, which could in turn impact our revenue and results of operations. Furthermore, our supply chain continues to face constraints primarily due to challenges in sourcing components and materials for our products. The gross margin for sales through retailers tends to be higher than for someprolonged impact of our other customers; the sales, support, returns, and overhead costs associated with retailers tend to be higher.


As of September 30, 2020, Zoom had 50 full-time and part-time employees. Nineteen employees were engaged in research and development and quality control. Seven employees were involved in operations, which manages production, inventory, purchasing, warehousing, freight, invoicing, shipping, and returns. Seventeen employees were engaged in sales, marketing, and customer technical support. The remaining seven employees performed executive, accounting, administrative, and management information systems functions. Our dedicated personnel in Tijuana, Mexico are employees of our Mexican service provider and not included in our headcount. On September 30, 2020, Zoom had four consultants: one in marketing, two in manufacturing operations and one in information systems, who are not included in our headcount.
COVID-19 could exacerbate these constraints or cause further supply chain disruptions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Following is a discussion

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of what we viewassets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our more significantfinancial statements may be affected. Our management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates. As described below, management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the preparation of our financial statements. We have identified areas where material differences could result in the amount and timing of our net sales, costs, and expenses for any period if we had made different judgments or used different estimates.

Leases.We adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding lease liability. Lessor accounting under the standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the alternative transition approach, which required the Company to apply the new lease standard to (i) all new lease contracts entered into after January 1, 2019 and (ii) all existing lease contracts as of January 1, 2018 through a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. See Footnote 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure.
Revenue Recognition.Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer —a contract with a customer exists when we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer, typically a purchase order initiated by the customer, that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred, identifies the payment terms related to these goods, and that the customer has both the ability and intent to pay.
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract —performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred to the customer that are distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods on their own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us.
Determination of the transaction price— the transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. This would be the agreed upon quantity and price per product type in accordance with the customer purchase order, which is aligned with our internally approved pricing guidelines.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract— if the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. This applies to us as there is only one performance obligation, which is to provide the goods.
Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation— we satisfy performance obligations at a point in time when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Determining the point in time when control transfers requires judgment. Indicators considered in determining whether the customer has obtained control of a good include:


● We have a present right to payment
● The customer has legal title to the goods
● We have transferred physical possession of the goods
● The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods
● The customer has accepted the goods
We have concluded that transfer of control substantively transfers to the customer upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms of the purchase agreement.
We primarily sell hardware products to our customers. The hardware products include cable modems and gateways, local area networking equipment including routers and MoCA adapters, DSL gateways, and dial-up modems.
We derive our net sales primarily from the sales of hardware products through four types of customers:
● 
Internet and local area network product retailers;
● 
Internet and local area network product distributors;
● 
Internet service providers; and
● 
Original equipment manufacturers
We recognize hardware net sales to our customers at the point when the customers take legal ownership of the delivered products. Legal ownership passes from us to the customer based on the contractual Free on Board (“FOB”) point specified in signed contracts and purchase orders, which are both used extensively. Many of our customer contracts or purchase orders specify FOB destination, which means that title and risk remain with us until we have delivered the goods to the location specified in the contract. We verify the delivery date on all significant FOB destination shipments made during the last 10 business days of each quarter.
Our net sales of hardware include reductions resulting from certain events which are characteristic of the sales of hardware to retailers of computer peripherals. These events are product returns, certain sales and marketing incentives, price protection refunds, and consumer mail-in and in-store rebates. Each of these is accounted for as a reduction of net sales based on detailed management estimates, which are reconciled to actual customer or end-consumer credits on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Product Returns. Productsrevenue recognition, sales allowances, and inventory valuation, are returned by retail storesdescribed under “Critical Accounting Policies and distributors for inventory balancing, contractual stock rotation privileges,Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and warranty repair or replacements. We estimate the salesAnalysis of Financial Condition and cost valueResults of expected future product returns of previously sold products. Our estimates for product returns are based on recent historical trends plus estimates for returns prompted by, among other things, announced stock rotations and announced customer store closings. Management reviews historical returns, current economic trends, and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products when estimating sales return allowances. Product returns are variable and under Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The Company monitors pending authorized returns of goods and, if deemed appropriate, record the right of return asset accordingly.
Price Protection Refunds.We have a policy of offering price protection to certain of our retailer and distributor customers for some or all their inventory. Under the price protection policies, when we reduce our prices for a product, the customer receives a credit for the difference between the original purchase price and our reduced price for their unsold inventory of that product. Our estimates for price protection refunds are based on a detailed understanding and tracking by customer and by sales program. Information from customer inventory-on-hand reports or from direct communications with the customers is used to estimate the refund. Price protection refunds are variable and are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The estimates due to price protection are historically not material.
Sales and Marketing Incentives. Many of our retailer customers require sales and marketing support funding, which is an expense item in selling expense, unless the funding is a function of sales activity and therefore variable. Sales and marketing incentives are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The estimates due to sales and marketing incentives are historically not material.
Rebates and Promotions. Our rebates are based on a detailed understanding and tracking by customer and sales program. Rebates and promotions are variable and are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The estimates due to rebates and promotions are historically not material.


Accounts Receivable Valuation. We establish accounts receivable valuation allowances equal to the net sales adjustments for estimates of product returns, price protection refunds, consumer rebates, and general bad debt reserves. These allowances are reduced as actual credits and are issued to the customer's accounts.
Inventory Valuation and Cost of Goods Sold.Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or its net realizable value. We review inventories for obsolete and slow-moving products each quarter and make provisions based on our estimate of the probability that the material will not be consumed or that it will be sold below cost. Additionally, material product certification costs on new products are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of value of the respective products.
Taxes.As part of the process of preparing our financial statements we estimate our income tax expense and deferred income tax position. This process involves the estimation of our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which areOperations” included in our balance sheet. We then assessAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. Changes in the valuation allowance are reflected in the statement of operations.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and any valuation allowances. We have recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets. It is management's estimate that, after considering all available objective evidence, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. If we establish a record of continuing profitability, at some point we will be required to reduce the valuation allowance and recognize an equal income tax benefit which will increase net income in that period(s).
As ofyear ended December 31, 2019, we had federal net operating loss carry forwards2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

See Note 2 Summary of approximately $56.3 millionSignificant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Report on 10-Q, for a full description of recent accounting standards, include the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the financial condition and results of operations, which are available to offset future taxable income. They are due to expire in varying amounts from the end of 2020 to 2038. As of December 31, 2019, we had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $11.4 million which are available to offset future taxable income. They are due to expire in varying amounts from 2031 through 2038. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of deferred income tax assets as management has concluded that it is more-likely than-not that the benefits from such assets will not be realized.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2020,hereby incorporated by and between Zulu Holdings LLC and Manchester Management Company LLC and certain related individuals and entities, Zulu Holdings LLC purchased all company shares held by Manchester Management Company LLC and certain related individuals and entities. This share purchase resulted in a greater than 50% change in company stock ownership for Zulu Holdings LLC over the prior three-year period. This change in ownership may limit the company’s ability to take full advantage of the entire amount of net operating loss carry forwards recorded as of December 31, 2019.

Net Sales. Our total net sales increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to prior years by $4.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The growth in net sales is directly attributable to increased sales of Motorola branded cable modems and gateways. In the first six months of 2021, we primarily generated our sales by selling cable modems and gateways. Software sales related to SaaS offerings were $0.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had no SaaS related sales in the three months ended Septemberand six months ended June 30, 2019

Summary.2020. The increase in other category compared to prior year is primarily due to an increase in mesh home networking devices.

The addition of US tariffs and the COVID-19 pandemic has created potential disruptions to prior years. Generally, the Company’s operations. The 25% US tariffs assessed on products imported from China hadlower sales outside North America reflect the fact that cable modems are sold successfully through retailers in the United States but not in most countries outside the United States, due primarily to variations in government regulations.

Relatively few companies account for a significant impact on cash and net loss for 2019.substantial portion of the Company’s revenues. In the third quarter of 2020, these tariffs were $115.5 thousand. These tariffs had a very unfavorable impact on our financial performance until July 2020, the first full month after which the Company fully transitioned all of its core production supply out of China. In late 2019, the Company made the decision to move its outsourced manufacturing operations from China to Vietnam, primarily to end the exposure to the trade-war imposed tariffs with China. While the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays in the original transition plan, the Company worked actively with its primary outsourced development partner to establish manufacturing operations in Haiphong, Vietnam. As previously noted, the transition to Vietnam was completed in June 2020. All manufacturing of existing models now takes place in Vietnam. For the balance of the year, only the initial manufacturing runs of new models will take place in China. The elimination of tariffs for products imported from China will release an additional $800 thousand in restricted cash once the performance bonds are fully closed out and released by the bond holders, which is expected to occur between July 2021 and January 2022.

During the factory transition and while recovering from the COVID-19-related supply chain shock, the Company temporarily shifted from the use of primarily ocean freight during prior quarters to the use of primarily air freight during Q2 2020 and into Q3 2020 to keep up with demand and replenish supply. This resulted in an additional $0.9 million in freight expense incurred during the second quarter, and an additional $0.6 million during the third quarter. The increased freight expense and exceptional expenses related to agreement were the primary reason for the Company recording a net loss of $341 thousand for the quarter and $2.6 million year-to-date through September, as compared to a net loss of $200 thousand in Q3 2019 and $2.1 million year-to-date through September 30, 2019.
The Company implemented cost cutting measures to conserve cash during the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, delaying the planned start dates of all new hiring during 2020, and not renewing the same footprint of its headquarters office lease when it expired in June 2020. The Company retained a small executive office within the City of Boston on a short-term, month-to-month basis at a cost of $682 per month starting November 1, 2020. The Company negotiated extended and improved payment terms through the end of June 2020 with its primary outsourced manufacturing partner and as of September 30, 2020, the Company has fully paid all invoices with these extended payment terms.
Net Sales. Our total net sales for Q3 2020 increased $1.2 million or 10.6% from Q3 2019. Most of this growth was driven by increases in cable modem and cable modem/routers, DSL products, and local area network products. In Q3 20202021, three companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 85%93% in the aggregate of ourthe Company’s total net sales. In Q3 2019 two companies accounted for 10% or greater individually, and 86% in the aggregate of our total net sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $3.9 million or 32.2% of net sales in Q3 2020, compared to $3.1 million or 28.8% of net sales in Q3 2019. Reduction in China tariff costs in Q3 2020 was offset by increased air freight costs as compared to Q3 2019.
Selling Expense. Selling expense was $2.01 million or 16.7% of net sales in Q3 2020, down from $2.07 million or 19.0% of net sales in Q3 2019. The decrease of $55 thousand was primarily due to decreases in brick-and-mortar marketing expenses and advertising costs, offset by trademark royalty cost increase.
General and Administrative Expense.General and administrative expense was $1.47 million or 12.2% of net sales in Q3 2020, up from $733 thousand or 6.7% of net sales in Q3 2019 The increase of $735 thousand was primarily due to one-time legal and professional services expenses related to the evaluation of recent agreements consummated for the purchase of company stock and other matters.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense was $728 thousand or 6.1% of net sales in Q3 2020, up from $564 thousand or 5.2% of net sales in Q3 2019. The increase of $164 thousand was primarily due to increased salary and related costs to support accelerated product development.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense was $6.3 thousand in Q3 2020 and other income was $41.8 thousand in Q3 2019.
Net Loss. Net loss was $341 thousand for Q3 2020, compared to a net loss of $200 thousand for Q3 2019, primarily due to increased freight costs associated with inventory supply disruptions caused by COVID-19 and an increase in general and administrative expenses for one-time legal and professional services related to the evaluation of recent agreements consummated for the purchase of company stock and other matters.

Net Sales. Our total net sales for the nine-months ended September 30, 2020 increased $7.2 million or 26.7% from the nine-months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to Motorola brand products’ continued revenue growth, particularly through e-tail and increased shelf space at retail. Geographically, our North American sales continued their dominant share of our overall sales, representing 98.1% and 97.5% of our net sales through the nine-months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our customers generally do not enter into long-term agreements obligating them to purchase our products. Because of our significant customer concentration, our net sales and operating income could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political or economic conditions or the loss of, reduction of business with, or less favorable terms for any of our significant customers. A reduction or delay in orders from any of our significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer could materially harm our business, results of operation and liquidity.

On February 4, 2021, the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other factors, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, maintain or decrease operating expense ratios, obtain additional equity or debt financing and comply with the financial and other covenants contained in the Company’s Financing Agreement, as amended with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. as described in Note 7. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The assessment of US tariffs and the COVID-19 pandemic have given rise to potential disruptions to the Company’s operations. The 25% US tariffs assessed on products imported from China had a significant impact on cash and net loss for 2019 and the first nine months of 2020. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, these tariffs were $2.6 million and were the primary reason for the Company recording a net loss of $2.6 million for the same period. These tariffs decreased significantly starting in July 2020, the first full month of operations after the transition of core manufacturing from China to Vietnam was completed.
 The Company implemented cost cutting measures to conserve cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, delaying the planned start dates of all new hiring during 2020, and not renewing the same footprint of its headquarters office lease when it expired in June 2020. The Company has retained a small executive office within the City of Boston on a short-term, month-to-month basis at a cost of $682 per month starting November 1, 2020. The Company negotiated extended and improved payment terms through the end of June 2020 with its primary outsourced manufacturing partner and as of September 30, 2020, the Company has fully paid all invoices with these extended payment terms.
Due to requirements of the United States Department of Homeland Security and resulting from the continued 25% tariff on imports from China, the Company was required to commit to three letters of credit totaling $800 thousand. These funds are reported as restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company applied for and received approval for an SBA Paycheck Protection Plan Loan with Primary Bank under the CARES Act. The loan from the US government in the amount of $583.3 thousand was approved and funded in April 2020. The Company submitted an application for forgiveness of this loan in October 2020.

The Company’s ability to maintain adequateacceptable levels of liquidity depends in part on its ability to sell inventory on hand, to continue to manufacture and import more inventory to meet existing demand, and to collect related receivables. The Company continues to work with its distribution partners in North America to deliver inventory to its customers. The current environment is difficult, particularlyobligations as they become due toduring the COVID-19 pandemic, and the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. While the Company is currently benefitting from increased demand for its products, there can be no assurance this increased demand will continue or that COVID-19-related disruptions in the supply chain will not occur again, which would raise challenges to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive ChairmanOfficer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive ChairmanOfficer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 as of September 30,March 31, 2020. Based upon that evaluation and other than as disclosed herein, our Chief Executive ChairmanOfficer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There

During our preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified a material weakness with tracking and timely recording of in-transit inventory where title had been transferred to the Company. This material weakness could result in the Company under-reporting its inventory and current liabilities. The Company’s logistics firm had not provided title transfer dates to the Company for in-transit inventory. The material weakness only impacted the consolidated balance sheet, other than stockholders’ equity, as of December 31, 2020, resulting in equal increases in the Company’s inventory and current liabilities, and did not impact the consolidated statements of operations.

To remediate the material weakness described above, the Company instituted a process, which includes requiring the Company’s logistics firm to provide title transfer dates to the Company for in-transit inventory. The Company will timely record inventory and related liabilities based on the title transfer date, and a member of the finance department will review the Company records for completeness and accuracy. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed before the end of 2021.

Other than as disclosed herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this reportquarter ended June 30, 2021 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 16, 2021, the Company received a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please refer to Note 4(a), “Contingencies”letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the NotesCompany requesting the opportunity to Condensed Financial Statements includedreview certain books and records of the Company to investigate the possibility of breaches of fiduciary duty by current and former members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s controlling stockholder in Part I, Item 1connection with his and his affiliates’ acquisition of majority control of the Company without compensating the Company’s minority stockholders and the acquisition by merger of Zoom Connectivity in which he held a substantial equity stake. The parties have been in negotiations with the counsel for the purported stockholder to resolve this matter. The Company believes that the resolution of this Quarterlymatter is likely to include the imposition of certain corporate governance restrictions, which would expand on current practices of the Company over a longer period of time than the standstill agreement currently in effect with the Company’s controlling stockholder, on the Company and the controlling stockholder and his affiliates and the payment of legal expenses. The matter is under negotiation and is subject to change based upon the negotiations and any other factors that may arise. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

On June 29, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company making a litigation demand on behalf of the Company and its stockholders to address certain alleged misconduct by the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the implementation of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation without having received proper stockholder approval thereof as required under Delaware corporation law. The letter demanded that the Board of Directors take immediate action to: deem the amendment ineffective and make appropriate disclosure of that fact and seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment; and adopt and implement adequate internal controls and systems at the Company designed to prohibit and prevent a recurrence of the circumstances. The letter requested a response or contact with the law firm on or before July 16, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Correction to void the previously filed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company filed an amendment to a Current Report on Form 10-Q,8-K to disclose these matters. The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 22, 2021 and received the requisite stockholder approval of the amendment. On July 23, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. It is also expected that the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will review the Company’s internal controls and systems and the circumstances described in the demand letter to determine if any additional actions are necessary to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances relating to the foregoing events. The Company anticipates that the law firm that sent the demand letter will seek recovery of attorneys’ fees relating to this matter. The ultimate amount of any such recovery could be material but is not presently ascertainable. The Company intends vigorously to defend against any such claim for recovery of legal fees. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

In the ordinary course of business, in addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of such additional proceedings include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to such additional legal proceedings to which it is incorporated herein by reference.
