2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2022 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2023 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss), total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company believes judgment is involved in determining revenue recognition; analysis of allowance for credit losses; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; the recoverability of long-lived assets; stock-based compensation expense; and income tax uncertainties. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less or investments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents and investments with original maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year to be short-term investments.

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 of $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, pertains primarily to a stand by letter of credit with a manufacturer for equipment purchased for the Company’s manufacturing facility in Thailand.

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with what it considers high credit quality financial institutions. One customer accounted for 12% of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, whileno customer accounted for 10% or more of net revenue for the years ended December 31,2022 or 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's accounts receivable, net balance. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. To reduce risk, the Company’s management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses in its consolidated financial statements. The Company relies upon a limited number of suppliers for some key components of their products which exposes them to various risks. As of December 31, 2023, two suppliers accounted for 12% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's accounts payable, andone supplier accounted for 11% of the Company's accounts payable as of December 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews its receivables that remain outstanding past their applicable payment terms and establishes an allowance and potential write-offs by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Although the Company expects to collect net amounts due as stated on the consolidated balance sheets, actual collections may differ from these estimated amounts.

Inventories— Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using average cost or standard cost, as applicable) or net realizable value (market). Inventory is written down for excess inventory, technical obsolescence and the inability to sell based primarily on historical sales and expectations for future use. The Company operates in an industry characterized by technological change. The planning of production and inventory levels is based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially. Should the demand for the Company’s products prove to be significantly less than anticipated, the ultimate realizable value of the Company’s inventory could be substantially less than amounts in the consolidated balance sheets. Once inventory has been written down below cost, it is not subsequently written up.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ofthree toten years for furniture, fixture and office equipment, five toseven years for machinery, five years for automobiles andthree years for computer software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful life.

Intangible Assets — Amortizable intangible assets include trademarks, developed technology and customer relationships acquired as part of business combinations. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from fourto twelve years and are reviewed for impairment.

Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the fair value of consideration transferred in a business combination, over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company performs an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company identifies and considers the significance of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affect the fair value of its reporting units. These factors include external factors such as macroeconomic, industry, and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as actual and planned financial performance. If, after assessing the totality of relevant events and circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value and there isno indication of impairment, no further testing is performed; however, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it performs the quantitative impairment test which compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment loss would be recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Long-Lived Assets — The Company reviews long‑lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the total estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows or other appropriate measures of fair value. There wereno impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021, other than software development costs expensed as described below.

Leases— The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component.

Freight Costs — The Company reflects the cost of shipping its products to customers as a cost of revenue. Reimbursements received from customers for freight costs are recognized as product revenue.

Research and Development — Costs to research, design, and develop the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of employee compensation, external contractor costs, and fees for the development of prototype products. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. Generally, the Company’s products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not been significant and generally have been expensed as incurred. In the fourth quarter of 2023, due to the inability to sell a specific product that had been developed, the Company wrote-off the associated capitalized software development costs totaling $333,000 which was recorded to restructuring expense in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net amount of capitalized software development costs were $146,000 and $515,000, respectively, and are included in other current and long term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company capitalizes certain costs for its internal-use software incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years. The estimated useful life is determined based on management’s judgment on how long the core technology and functionality serves internal needs and the customer base. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. The Company recorded amortization expense related to software development costs of $82,000, $45,000 and $55,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company capitalized software development costs of $93,000, $84,000 and $103,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Advertising Costs — The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Stock-based Compensation — The Company accounts for all stock-based payment awards, including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and performance share units in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation(“ASC 718”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option approach. Employee stock options awards are valued under the single-option approach and amortized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of the portion of the stock option award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation, for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses.

The Company has elected to use the Black Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Since the Company has been publicly traded for many years, it utilizes its own historical volatility in valuing its stock option grants. The expected life of an award is based on historical experience, the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted to employees, as well as the potential effect from options that have not been exercised at the time. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent management’s estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company estimates the expected forfeiture rate and recognizes expense only for those awards which are ultimately expected-to-vest shares. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the Company’s estimate, the recorded stock-based compensation expense could be different. Forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes— The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the recognition of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The carrying value of net deferred tax assets reflects that the Company has been unable to generate sufficient taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The deferred tax assets are still available for the Company to use in the future to offset taxable income, which would result in the recognition of a tax benefit and a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render the Company’s current assumptions, judgments and estimates of the realizability of deferred tax assets inaccurate, which could have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Such changes in recognition or measurement might result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 8, Income Taxes, for further information regarding the Company’s tax disclosures.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share —Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive-potential common share equivalents outstanding during the period (using the treasury stock or if-converted method), if applicable. Dilutive-potential common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of net income (loss) per share in loss periods, as their effect would be antidilutive. See Note 11, Net Income (Loss) per Common Share, for further information regarding the Company’s computation of both basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —Comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 has been disclosed within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Other accumulated comprehensive income (loss) includes net foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, which are excluded from consolidated net income (loss).

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies, except for the Singapore subsidiary, which uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. For those subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency, the Company translates assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation of foreign entity financial statements are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and gains and losses from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognized net currency transaction gains of $25,000 and $155,000 in 2023 and 2022, respectively, and net currency transaction losses of $79,000 in 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Impr ovements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU’s amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard for “annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.” Adoption is either prospectively or retrospectively, the Company will adopt this ASU on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Revenue

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of its products, software licenses, and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation, generally on a relative basis using its standalone selling price. The stated contract value is generally the transaction price to be allocated to the separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers that are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Nature of Products and Services

The Company derives revenues from sales of hardware products, software licenses, subscriptions, professional services, software maintenance and support, and extended hardware warranties.

Hardware Product Revenues— The Company generally has two performance obligations in arrangements involving the sale of hardware products. The first performance obligation is to transfer the hardware product (which includes software integral to the functionality of the hardware product). The second performance obligation is to provide assurance that the product complies with its agreed-upon specifications and is free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one to three years (i.e. assurance warranty). The entire transaction price is allocated to the hardware product and is generally recognized as revenue at the time of shipment because the customer obtains control of the product at that point in time. The Company has concluded that control generally transfers at that point in time because the customer has title to the hardware, and a present obligation to pay for the hardware. None of the transaction price is allocated to the assurance warranty component, as the Company accounts for these product warranty costs in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees.

Software License Revenues — The Company’s license arrangements grant customers the perpetual right to access and use the licensed software products at the outset of an arrangement. Technical support and software updates are generally made available throughout the term of the support agreement, which is generallyoneto three years. The Company accounts for these arrangements as two performance obligations: (1) the software licenses, and (2) the related updates and technical support. The software license revenue is recognized when the license is delivered to the customer or made available for download, while the software updates and technical support is recognized over the term of the support contract.

Subscription Revenues — Subscription revenues consist of fees received in consideration for providing customers access to one or more of the Company’s software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) based solutions. These SaaS arrangements include access to the Company’s licensed software and, in certain arrangements, use of various hardware devices over the contract term. These SaaS arrangements do not provide the customer the right to take possession of the software supporting the subscription service, or if applicable, any hardware devices at any time during the contract period, and as such are not considered separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract beginning when the service is made available to the customer. Subscription contract terms range from month-to-month tosix years in length and billed monthly or annually.

Professional Services Revenues — Professional services revenues consist primarily of programming customization services performed relating to the integration of the Company’s software products with the customers other systems, such as HR systems. Professional services contracts are generally billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

Software Maintenance and Support Revenues — Support and maintenance contract revenues consist of the services provided to support the specialized programming applications performed by the Company’s professional services group. Support and maintenance contracts are typically billed at inception of the contract and recognized as revenue over the contract period, typically over aone orthree year period.

Extended Hardware Warranties Revenues — Sales of the Company’s hardware products may also include optional extended hardware warranties, which typically provide assurance that the product will continue function as initially intended. Extended hardware warranty contracts are typically billed at inception of the contract and recognized as revenue over the respective contract period, typically overone totwo year periods after the expiration of the original assurance warranty.

Significant Judgments

The Company’s contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. For such arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price (“SSP”).

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation in a contract. For the majority of items, the Company estimates SSP using historical transaction data. The Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when it sells each of the products and services separately and needs to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the product or service is not sold separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. The determination of SSP is an ongoing process and information is reviewed regularly in order to ensure SSPs reflect current information or trends.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers based on the timing of transfer of goods or services to customers (point-in-time or over time) and geographic region based on the shipping location of the customer. The geographic regions that are tracked are the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions.

Total net sales based on the disaggregation criteria described above are as follows (in thousands):

Contract Balances

Amounts invoiced in advance of services being provided are accounted for as deferred revenue. Nearly all of the Company’s deferred revenue balance is related to software maintenance contracts. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although payment is typically due within 30 to 60 days of contract inception. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company’s products and services, not to receive financing from its customers.

Changes in deferred revenue during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of amounts billed are recorded as unbilled receivables and are included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amount of unbilled receivables was immaterial.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

Revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to remaining performance obligations, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration ofone year or less, and contracts where revenue is recognized as invoiced, was approximately $1.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Since the Company typically invoices customers at contract inception, this amount is included in the deferred revenue balance. As of December 31, 2023, the Company expects to recognize approximately 41% of the revenue related to these unsatisfied performance obligations during 2024,25% during 2025, and 34% thereafter.

Practical Expedients

The Company has elected the following practical expedients in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

•

The Company expenses costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include internal sales force compensation programs and certain partner sales incentive programs as the Company has determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities.

•

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling and marketing expense.

•

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

•

The Company does not consider the time value of money for contracts with original durations of one year or less.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

•

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the only assets measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis were nominal cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there wereno liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain of the Company's assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, and privately-held investments, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis if impairment is indicated. Purchased intangible assets are measured at fair value primarily using discounted cash flow projections. For additional discussion of measurement criteria used in evaluating potential impairment involving goodwill and intangible assets, refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $348,000 of privately-held investments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which were classified as Level 3 assets due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. The Company adjusts the carrying value for its privately-held investments for any impairment if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the respective assets on an other-than-temporary basis. The amount of privately-held investments is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company received proceeds of approximately $132,000, $30,000 and $611,000, respectively from the acquisition of a private company that the Company had invested in, which had been fully impaired and hadno carrying value.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there wereno liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and other accrued expenses and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial liabilities approximate fair value due to the market interest rates that these obligations bear and interest rates currently available to the Company.

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The following table summarizes the activity of goodwill (in thousands):

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company performs an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company identifies and considers the significance of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affect the fair value of its reporting units. These factors include external factors such as macroeconomic, industry, and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as actual and planned financial performance. If, after assessing the totality of relevant events and circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value and there is no indication of impairment, no further testing is performed; however, if the Company concludes otherwise, then the Company will perform the quantitative impairment test which compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment loss would be recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company notedno indicators of goodwill impairment and concluded no further testing was necessary.

Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for intangible assets resulting from acquisitions (in thousands):

Each period, the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of purchased intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If a revision to the remaining period of amortization is warranted, amortization is prospectively adjusted over the remaining useful life of the intangible asset. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as indicated in the table above. The Company performs an evaluation of its amortizable intangible assets for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company didnot identify any impairment indicators during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The following table summarizes the amortization expense included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):

The estimated annual future amortization expense for purchased intangible assets with definite lives as of December 31, 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

6. Balance Sheet Components

The Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories consist of (in thousands):

Property and equipment, net consists of (in thousands):

The Company recorded depreciation expense of $1.7 million, $1.2 million and $0.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other accrued expenses and liabilities consist of (in thousands):

7. Financial Liabilities

On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (as amended or amended and restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) with East West Bank (“EWB”). Following subsequent amendments, on April 14, 2022, the Company and EWB amended the Loan Agreement replacing the $20.0 million revolving loan facility subject to a borrowing base with a non-formula revolving loan facility with no borrowing base requirement and a maturity date of February 8, 2023. In addition, the interest rate was lowered from prime to prime minus 0.25% (interest rate as of December 31, 2023 was 8.50%), and certain financial covenants were amended. On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Loan Agreement. The Fourth Amendment amends the Loan Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date to February 8, 2025, and amend certain financial covenants.

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, limits or restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including dividends), merge or consolidate and dispose of assets, as well as other financial covenants. The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of its assets. The Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant under the Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2023, which non-compliance was waived by EWB in March 2024.

8. Income Taxes

Income (loss) before income tax provision for domestic and non-U.S. operations is as follows (in thousands):

The income tax provision consisted of the following (in thousands):

Significant items making up deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth.

A valuation allowance of $56.0 million and $60.0 million, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, has been recorded to offset the related net deferred tax assets as the Company is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. The net deferred tax liabilities are primarily from foreign tax liabilities as well as intangibles acquired as a result of the acquisitions, which are not deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the Company’s net deferred tax assets valuation allowance activity (in thousands):

Section 951A under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) requires a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation to include in taxable income the shareholder’s share of global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) for the year. The Company has determined that the Section 951A provisions do apply to its operations and relationships with its controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”). The Company recorded $0.4 million, $2.0 million and $2.5 million of GILTI income in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Act also changed the treatment of Section 174 research and experimental costs beginning January 1, 2022. Historically, taxpayers had the option of expensing Section 174 costs currently or amortizing over five years. The Act provision requires taxpayers to now capitalize such costs and amortize over five years for research conducted domestically orfifteen years if conducted outside of the U.S.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $89.0 million for federal, $49.8 million for state and $52.6 million for foreign income tax purposes. Certain of the Company’s federal, state and foreign loss carryforwards have started expiring and will continue to expire through 2043 if not utilized.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the “Tax Reform Act”) limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in stock ownership. The Company completed its acquisition of Bluehill ID AG on January 4, 2010, which resulted in a stock ownership change as defined by the Tax Reform Act. The Company also completed its acquisition of 3VR Security, Inc. on February 14, 2018, which resulted in a stock ownership change as defined by the Tax Reform Act. These transactions resulted in limitations on the annual utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and credits. As a result, the Company reevaluated its available deferred tax assets, and the loss carryforward and credit amounts, excluding the valuation allowance presented above have been adjusted for the limitation resulting from the change in ownership in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Reform Act.

The income tax provision reconciled to the amount computed by applying the statutory federal tax rate to the income (loss) before income tax provision is as follows (in thousands):

The Company applies the provisions of, and accounted for uncertain tax positions in accordance with, ASC 740. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

On August 16, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act ("H.R. 5376"), which contained various tax law changes, including the imposition of an AMT on “large” corporations, a tax on certain stock buybacks, and other targeted revenue raisers. The Company analyzed the provisions of H.R. 5376 and currently does not expect this law to have any material effect on the Company.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits with an impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or statements of comprehensive income (loss) is as follows (in thousands):

While timing of the resolution and/or finalization of tax audits is uncertain, the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits as presented in the above table would materially change in the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $2.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Since there was a full valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets, there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Also the subsequent recognition, if any, of these previously unrecognized tax benefits would not affect the effective tax rate. Such recognition would result in adjustments to other tax accounts, primarily deferred taxes. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits which, if recognized, would not affect the Company's tax rate as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as in the income tax provision. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an increase in accrued interest of $1,000 related to the unrecognized tax benefits noted above. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has recognized a total liability for penalties of $4,000 and interest of $8,000. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an increase in accrued penalties of $2,000 and an increase in accrued interest of $1,000 related to the unrecognized tax benefits noted above. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had recognized a total liability for penalties of $4,000 and interest of $7,000.

The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax returns. The Company generally is no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2018. However, if loss carryforwards of tax years prior to 2017 are utilized in the U.S., these tax years may become subject to investigation by the tax authorities.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,40,000 of which have been designated as Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 of which have been designated as Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). No shares of the Company’s Series A Participating Preferred Stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. At both December 31, 2023 and 2022,5,000,000 shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock were outstanding.

The Board of Directors may from time to time, without further action by the Company’s stockholders, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in other series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each series, including voting rights, dividend rights and redemption and liquidation preferences. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company before any payment is made to the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the affirmative vote of the Board, without stockholder approval, the Company may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights, which could adversely affect the holders of shares of its common stock.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Private Placement

On December 20, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each of 21 April Fund, Ltd. and 21 April Fund, LP (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement, agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (collectively referred to as the “Shares”). The Purchasers agreed to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 Shares at a price of $4.00 per share in cash at the initial closing of the transaction, and at the sole option of the Company, an additional 2,000,000 Shares at a price of $4.00 per share in cash at a second closing, if any (the “Private Placement”). The total purchase price payable to the Company was $20,000,000, of which $12,000,000 was paid at the initial closing. On May 30, 2018, the Company issued 2,000,000 Shares at a price of $4.00 per share in the second closing of the Private Placement. Gross proceeds to the Company from the second closing were approximately $8.0 million, before deducting fees and certain expenses payable by the Company. The proceeds from the issuance of the Shares were required to be used to pay off existing debt obligations of the Company and to fund future acquisitions of technology, business and other assets by the Company.

Each Share shall be convertible into the Company’s common stock (i) following the sixth (6th) anniversary of the initial closing of the Private Placement or (ii) if earlier, during the thirty (30) day period following the last trading day of any period of three (3) or more consecutive trading days that the closing market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $10.00. Each Share is convertible at the option of the holder of the Shares into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by taking the accreted value of such Share (purchase price plus accrued but unpaid dividends) and dividing such value by the stated value of such Share ($4.00 per share, subject to adjustment for dilutive issuances, stock splits, stock dividends and the like); provided, however, that the Company shall not convert any Shares if doing so would cause the holder thereof, along with its affiliates, to beneficially own in excess of 19.9% of the outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to the applicable conversion (the “Ownership Limitation”), unless waiver of this restriction has been effected by the holder requesting conversion of Shares.

Based on the current conversion price, the outstanding shares, including the accretion of dividends, of Series B convertible preferred stock as of December 31, 2023 would be convertible into 6,647,300 shares of the Company’s common stock. However, the conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain instances, such as if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a price less than $4.00 per common share, subject to a minimum conversion price of $3.27 per share. As of December 31, 2023, none of the contingent conditions to adjust the conversion rate had been met.

Each share of Series B convertible preferred stock is entitled to a cumulative annual dividend of 5% for the first six (6) years following the issuance of such share and 3% for each year thereafter, with the Company retaining the option to settle each year’s dividend after the tenth (10 th) year in cash. The dividends accrue and are payable in kind upon such time as the shares convert into the Company’s common stock. In general, the shares are not entitled to vote except in certain limited cases, including in change of control transactions where the expected price per share distributable to the Company’s stockholders is expected to be less than $4.00 pershare. The Certificate of Designation with respect to the Series B convertible preferred stock further provides that in the event of, among other things, any change of control, liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with the holders of the common stock, the same amount and form of consideration that the holders of the Company’s common stock receive (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis and without regard to the Ownership Limitation applicable to the Series B convertible preferred stock).

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Dividend Accretion

The following table summarizes Series B convertible preferred stock and the accretion of dividend activity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Common Stock Warrants

On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with April 21 Fund, LP and 21 April Fund, Ltd. (collectively, the "April 21 Funds"), pursuant to which the Company issued warrants (“April 21 Funds Warrants”) to purchase 275,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The April 21 Funds Warrants had a term ofthree years. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the April 21 Fund Warrants were entitled to the same resale registration rights granted to the April 21 Funds Warrants under the Stockholders Agreement dated December 21, 2017. On April 24, 2023, April 21 Funds exercised their warrants, receiving 275,000 shares of the Company's common stock which resulted in the Company receiving $962,500 in cash proceeds.

Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance

Common stock reserved for future issuance as of December 31, 2023 was as follows:

10. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

The Company maintains a stock-based compensation plan, the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, (the “2011 Plan”), to attract, motivate, retain and reward employees, directors and consultants by providing its Board or a committee of the Board the discretion to award equity incentives to these persons.

On June 6, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2011 Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The 2011 Plan provides that stock options, stock units, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights may be granted to executive officers, directors, consultants, and other key employees. The Company reserved 400,000 shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan, plus 459,956 shares of common stock that remained available for delivery under the 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan as of June 6, 2011. In aggregate, as of June 6, 2011,859,956 shares were available for future grant under the 2011 Plan, including shares rolled over from the 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan. Subsequent to June 6, 2011 through December 31, 2023, the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan has been increased by an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares.

Stock Options

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2023:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2023 and the exercise price of in-the-money stock options multiplied by the number of such stock options.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2023:

As of December 31, 2023, there wasno unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options.

Restricted Stock Units

The following is a summary of RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2023:

The fair value of the Company’s RSUs is calculated based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. As of December 31, 2023, there was $6.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

Performance Stock Units

The Company grants PSUs to certain key employees that are subject to the attainment of performance goals established by the Company’s Compensation Committee, the periods during which performance is to be measured, and other limitations and conditions. Performance goals are based on pre-established objectives that specify the manner of determining the number of PSUs that will vest if performance goals are attained. If an employee terminates employment, the non-vested portion of the PSUs will not vest and all rights to the non-vested portion will terminate.

The following is a summary of PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2023:

As of December 31, 2023, there wasno unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, RSUs, and PSUs included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):

Restricted Stock Unit Net Share Settlements

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company repurchased 110,753,67,723, and 82,351 shares, respectively, of common stock surrendered to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs issued to employees.

11. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is impacted by equity instruments considered to be potential common shares, if dilutive, computed using the treasury stock or the if-converted method of accounting.

The calculations for basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are as follows:

The following common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net income (loss) per share for the fiscal years presented below because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

12. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

Segment Reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses and about which separate financial information is available to its chief operating decision makers (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM is its CEO.

The CODM reviews financial information and business performance for each operating segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments at the revenue and gross profit levels. The Company does not report total assets, capital expenditures or operating expenses by operating segment as such information is not used by the CODM for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources.

Net revenue and gross profit information by segment are as follows (in thousands):

Geographic Information

Geographic net revenue is based on the customer’s ship-to location. Information regarding net revenue by geographic region is as follows (in thousands):

Long-lived assets by geographic location as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

13. Restructuring and Severance

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred restructuring expenses of $202,000, consisting of severance related costs of $353,000 offset by a net credit of $151,000 associated with a settlement agreement for outstanding rental payments due the landlord on leased office space in San Francisco, California. The net credit represented the difference between amounts accrued and the settlement amount.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred restructuring expenses of $817,000, consisting of facility rental related costs of $521,000, and severance related costs of $296,000. Facility rental related costs during the year ended December 31, 2021 included a charge of $281,000 resulting from the impairment of a ROU operating lease asset for office space the Company vacated in the first quarter of 2021.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there wasno accrual for restructuring activities.

14. Leases

The Company’s leases consist primarily of operating leases for administrative office space, research and development facilities, a manufacturing facility, and sales offices in various countries around the world. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Some lease agreements contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. Total rent expense was $2.0 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Initial lease terms are determined at commencement and may include options toextend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. Remaining lease terms range fromoneto four years, some of which include options to extend for up tofive years. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the present value of future lease payments is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted cash flows for the first five years and the total of the remaining years to the operating lease liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating leases was 3.3 years, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the present value of the Company’s operating leases was 7.0%.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $1.8 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

15. Legal Proceedings

The Company may from time to time become subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business or could be named a defendant in additional lawsuits. The outcome of such claims or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and may have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings as of December 31, 2023.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

The following table summarizes the Company’s principal contractual commitments, excluding operating leases, as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Purchase commitments for inventories are highly dependent upon forecasts of customer demand. Due to the uncertainty in demand from its customers, the Company may have to change, reschedule, or cancel purchases or purchase orders from its suppliers. These changes may lead to vendor cancellation charges on these purchases or contractual commitments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s warranty accrual activity during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

The Company provides warranties on certain product sales for periods ranging from 12 to 36 months, and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. The Company currently establishes warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior 12 months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. Historically the warranty accrual and the expense amounts have been immaterial.

17. Subsequent Events

There were no subsequent events except as disclosed within Note 7, Financial Liabilities.
