Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements, unless noted otherwise below in “Changes to Significant Accounting Policies”. Certain accounting policies are repeated to ensure the condensed consolidated financial statements are not misleading. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statement reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, temporary equity and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year 2022 or any future period. The Business Combination is accounted pre-combination Pre-combination • the pre-combination • the pre-combination • in pre-combination • the operations of pre-combination Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of pre-combination pre-combination Pre-combination pre-combination Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition such as determining the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, revenue reserves, allowances for accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, the recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at fair value, assessment of indicators of goodwill impairment, determination of useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets and equipment, the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the calculation of capitalized software costs, accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions, and the value of securities underlying stock-based compensation. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from these estimates. COVID-19 During the period ended March 31, 2022, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) COVID-19 COVID-19 Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenues primarily from IoT Connectivity and IoT Solutions. IoT Connectivity arrangements provide customers with secure and reliable wireless connectivity to mobile and fixed devices through various mobile network carriers. Revenue from IoT Connectivity consists of monthly recurring charges (“MRC’s”) and overage/usage charges, and contracts are generally short-term in nature (i.e., month-to-month IoT Solutions arrangements includes device solutions (including connectivity), deployment services, and/or technology-related professional services. Management evaluates each IoT Solutions arrangement to determine the contract for accounting purposes. If a contract contains more than one performance obligation, consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on standalone selling prices. Device and other hardware sales in IoT Solutions arrangements are generally accounted for as separate contracts since the customer is not obligated to purchase additional services when committing to the purchase of any products. Such sales are typically recognized upon shipment to the customer. However, in certain contracts, the customer has requested the Company to hold the products ordered for later shipment to the customer’s remote location or to the customer’s end user as “bill-and-hold” bill-and-hold bill-and-hold bill-and-hold Deployment services consist of the Company preparing hardware owned by a customer for use by a customer’s end user. Deployment and connectivity may both be included within a single IoT Solutions contract and are considered separate performance obligations. While consideration for deployment services is generally fixed when ordered by the client, consideration for connectivity services is variable and solely related to the connectivity services. Therefore, the fixed consideration is allocated to the deployment services and is recognized as revenue when the services are provided (i.e. when the related hardware is shipped to the customer). Connectivity within IoT Solutions contracts are recognized similar to the IoT Connectivity as described above, since such contracts are generally short term in nature and variability is resolved each month as the services are provided. Professional services are generally provided over a contract term of one to two months. Revenue is recognized over time on an input method basis There are no material instances where variable consideration is constrained and not recorded at the initial time of sale. Product returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue based on anticipated sales returns that occur in the normal course of business and are immaterial for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, respectively. The Company primarily has assurance-type warranties that do not result in separate performance obligations. The Company does not have material unfulfilled performance obligation balances for contracts with an original length greater than one year in any of the periods presented. Additionally, the Company does not have material costs related to obtaining a contract with amortization periods greater than one year for any of the periods presented. The Company • Exemption • Practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. • Election • Election • Practical expedient not requiring the entity to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the entity expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days from the date of purchase or the ability to redeem amounts on demand. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates their fair value. Restricted cash represents cash deposits held with financial institutions for letters of credit and is not available for general corporate purposes. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance-Sheet Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in accounts at large financial institutions, and amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the cash and cash equivalents are held. The Company has no other financial instruments with off-balance-sheet Emerging Growth Company Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The Company qualifies as an “Emerging Growth Company” and has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows the Company to adopt new or revised standards at the same time as private companies. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has had several stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in “Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation”, to the consolidated financial statements. Stock-based compensation is generally recognized as an expense following straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. The fair value of stock-based compensation is generally measured on the grant date based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The following Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) were issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and have been recently adopted by KORE. ASU 2016-02, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2020-03 2020-05, In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, 2018-10, 2016-02, 2016-02. 2018-11, not-for-profits not-for-profits 2020-03, 2016-02. 2020-05, A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. We early adopted the new standard on January 1, 2022, which is the date as of our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods ending before January 1, 2022.

Accordingly, we have adopted these practical expedients and did not reassess: (1) whether an expired or existing contract is a lease or contains an embedded lease; (2) lease classification of an expired or existing lease; (3) capitalization of initial direct costs for an expired or existing lease. We lease real estate, computer hardware and vehicles for use in our operations under both operating and finance leases. We assess whether an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. For arrangements considered leases or that contain a lease that is accounted for separately, we determine the classification and initial measurement of the right-of-use For both operating and finance leases, we recognize a right-of-use In those circumstances where the Company is the lessee, we have elected to account for non-lease Operating lease cost for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included in selling, general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, based on the use of the facility on which rent is being paid. Operating leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize a rent expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We recognize the amortization of the right-of-use right-of-use See Note 5 for additional information related to leases, including disclosure required under Topic 842. 2019-12, In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, 2019-12 2019-12 ASU 2018-15, In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, internal-use internal-use 350-40, Internal-Use ASU 2020-06, 470-20) 815-40) In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, 470-20) 815-40) 2020-06”) 2020-06 2020-06 if-converted 2020-06 We early adopted ASU 2020-06 The cumulative after-tax 2020-06 (in ‘000 USD) At December 31, Adjustments ASU 2020-06 At Long-term debt and other borrowings, net $ 399,115 $ 15,163 $ 414,278 Additional paid-in 413,646 (11,612 ) 402,034 Deferred tax 36,722 (3,847 ) 32,875 Retained earnings (138,179 ) 299 (137,880 ) ASU 2021-04, In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, 2021-04 2021-04 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-13, In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, 2018-19, 2016-13.
