DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Basis of Presentation Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”), is pursuing strategic alternatives to accelerate the realization of value for our shareholders. On January 1, 2022, the Company was comprised of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., doing business as, and operating under the trade name NoiseCom, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Boonton Electronics Corporation, Microlab/FXR, Wireless Telecommunications Group Ltd., CommAgility Limited and Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. (NoiseCom, Inc., Boonton Electronics Corporation, Microlab/FXR LLC, CommAgility Limited Ltd., and Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. are hereinafter referred to as “Noisecom”, “Boonton”, “Microlab”, “CommAgility” and “Holzworth”, respectively). Our product groups were organized as follows: Radio Frequency Components (“RFC”) was comprised of our Microlab brand; Radio, Baseband, Software (“RBS”) was comprised of our CommAgility brand; and Test and Measurement (“T&M”) was comprised of our Boonton, Noisecom and Holzworth brands. As more fully described in Note 2 below, on March 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Microlab to RF Industries, Ltd and on December 30, 2022 completed the sale of CommAgility to E-Space Acquisitions, LLC. Subsequent to the divestitures of Microlab and CommAgility, the Company is comprised of the T&M business which is made up of our Boonton, Noisecom and Holzworth brands. The T&M business provides radio frequency (“RF”) and microwave test equipment and low phase noise RF synthesizers to equipment manufacturers, aerospace and defense companies, military and government agencies, satellite communication companies, semiconductor companies and other global technology companies. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of Microlab and CommAgility are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of Microlab and CommAgility as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. Our consolidated financial statements from continuing operations include the accounts of Noisecom, Boonton and Holzworth. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our assumptions, judgements and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions include management’s analysis in support of inventory valuation, accounts receivable valuation, valuation of deferred tax assets, returns reserves, warranty accruals, goodwill and intangible assets, estimated fair values of stock options and vesting periods of performance-based stock options and restricted stock. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgements and estimates, and make changes as deemed necessary. Concentrations of Credit Risk, Purchases and Fair Value Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Credit risk is mitigated to a lesser extent through collateral such as letters of credit, bank guarantees or payment terms like cash in advance. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 15 13 17 11 For the year ended December 31, 2022, two suppliers accounted for approximately 33 37 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent deposits in banks and highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount owed by the customer, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Estimated allowances for doubtful accounts are reviewed periodically taking into account the customer’s recent payment history, the customer’s current financial statements and other information regarding the customer’s credit worthiness. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined the receivable will not be recovered. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on an average cost basis. Net realizable value is based upon an estimated average selling price reduced by estimated costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Reductions in inventory valuation are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/Loss. Finished goods and work-in-process include material, labor and overhead expenses. The Company reviews inventory for excess and obsolescence based on best estimates of future demand, product lifecycle status and product development plans. The Company uses historical information along with these future estimates to reduce the inventory cost basis. Subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. Inventory carrying value is net of inventory reserves of approximately $ 499,000 468,000 SCHEDULE OF INVENTORY CURRENT Inventories consist of (in thousands): December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Raw materials $ 3,450 $ 2,684 Work-in-process 553 492 Finished goods 1,084 1,263 Inventory net $ 5,087 $ 4,439 Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets generally consist of prepaid U.S. federal and state taxes, prepaid insurance, prepaid maintenance agreements and the short-term portion of debt issuance costs. Prepaid U.S. federal and state taxes included in prepaid and other current assets was $ 866,000 Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are reflected at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Upon application of acquisition accounting, property, plant and equipment are measured at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date to establish a new historical cost basis. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives for the property, plant and equipment are: SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES Machinery and computer equipment/software 3 8 Furniture and fixtures 5 7 Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated economic life of the improvement. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized. Business Combinations The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which requires the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their respective fair market value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined based upon the Company’s valuation and involves making significant estimates and assumptions based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company uses a measurement period following the acquisition date to gather information that existed as of the acquisition date that is needed to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement period ends once all information is obtained, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that goodwill might be impaired, by first performing a qualitative evaluation of events and circumstances impacting the reporting unit to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment. Based on that qualitative evaluation, if the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further evaluation is necessary. Otherwise, we perform a quantitative impairment test. The Company has one reporting unit with goodwill which is Holzworth. The Company’s qualitative assessment of Holzworth goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2022 indicated no impairment. Intangible and Long-lived Assets Intangible assets include acquired technology, customer relationships and tradenames. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from ten to fourteen years. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell. The estimated useful lives of intangible and long-lived assets are based on many factors including assumptions regarding the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors, expectations regarding the future use of the asset, and our historical experience with similar assets. The assumptions used to determine the estimated useful lives could change due to numerous factors including product demand, market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions and competition. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. In fiscal 2021, the Company’s term loan and revolving credit facility yielded interest at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin and, therefore, carrying amount approximated fair value. Contingent Consideration A portion of the Holzworth purchase consideration was contingent upon certain financial targets (“Holzworth earnout”) and required the Company to estimate the fair value of the earnout using estimated gross revenues and Adjusted EBITDA and scenarios for earnout periods. The liability was adjusted in 2021 and a loss on change in fair value of contingent consideration was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss). The estimate of this contingent consideration was considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2022, all Holzworth contingent consideration had been paid. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates while income and expenses are translated at the weighted average spot rate for the periods presented. Translation gains or losses related to net assets located outside the U.S. are shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Aggregate foreign currency gains and losses, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency, are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) (included in other income/expense). Foreign currency transaction gains were $ 52,000 40,000 Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) Other comprehensive income/(loss) is recorded directly to a separate section of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income and includes unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income/(loss). These unrealized gains and losses consist of changes in foreign currency translation. Research and Development Costs Research and development (R&D) costs are charged to operations when incurred. R&D costs include salaries and benefits, depreciation expense on equipment used for R&D purposes and third-party material and consulting costs, if clearly related to an R&D activity. The amounts charged to operations for R&D costs for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 1.8 1.7 Advertising Costs Advertising expenses are charged to operations during the year in which they are incurred and were $ 268,000 279,000 Stock-Based Compensation The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” which requires that compensation expense be recognized, based on the fair value of the equity awards on the date of grant. The fair value of restricted share awards and restricted stock unit awards is determined using the market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options at the date of grant are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. When performance-based stock options are granted, the Company takes into consideration guidance under ASC 718 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when determining assumptions. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using daily price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The Company accounts for forfeitures for all equity awards when they occur. Management estimates are necessary in determining compensation expense for stock options with performance-based vesting criteria. Compensation expense for this type of stock-based award is recognized over the period from the date the performance conditions are determined to be probable of occurring through the implicit service period, which is the date the applicable conditions are expected to be met. If the performance conditions are not considered probable of being achieved, no expense is recognized until such time as the performance conditions are considered probable of being met, if ever. If the award is forfeited because the performance condition is not satisfied, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. Management evaluates performance conditions on a quarterly basis. In the fourth quarter of 2021, management deemed the revenue performance targets related to certain performance option grants dated April 7, 2020 and August 4, 2020 as not probable of being met. This was primarily due to the pending divestiture of Microlab and its related revenues. Accordingly, the Company reversed $ 217,000 Income Taxes The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating loss carry-forwards. Under ASC 740, the Company must recognize and disclose uncertain tax positions only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The amounts recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position, if any, are recorded if there is a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements. Earnings/(Loss) Per Common Share Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options using the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of unvested restricted shares, the weighted-average number of restricted stock units and the weighted average number of warrants to purchase common stock outstanding for the period. Shares from stock options and warrants are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation only when exercise prices are lower than the average market value of the common shares for the period presented. In periods with a net loss, the basic loss per share equals the diluted loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive. In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding. SCHEDULE OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE NUMBER OF SHARES 2022 2021 For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Weighted average common shares outstanding 21,701,831 22,049,636 Potentially dilutive equity awards 838,055 2,247,470 Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution 22,539,886 24,297,106 The weighted average number of options and warrants to purchase common stock not included in diluted loss per share because the effects are anti-dilutive, or the performance condition was not met in 2022, was 1,785,548 The weighted average number of options and warrants to purchase common stock not included in diluted loss per share because the effects are anti-dilutive, or the performance condition was not met in 2021, was 1,205,000 1,340,637 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2022 There were no material accounting pronouncement adoptions by the Company in fiscal year 2022.
