Previous report

We received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of our common stock. This action and future actions by stockholders could adversely affect our business and relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees and divert time from our management.

Previous report

On June 27, 2025, we confirmed in a public press release the receipt of an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Mobix Labs, Inc. (“Mobix”) to acquire all of the Company’s issued and outstanding equity securities in exchange for newly issued shares of Mobix common stock, with a fixed exchange ratio based on the average daily closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 calendar days ending on June 11, 2025, plus a 20% premium, or approximately $1.20 per share (the “Mobix Proposal”). As part of the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives, which is described below, the Board is carefully reviewing the Mobix Proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be completed at this price or at any other price with Mobix or any other third party.

Previous report

Reviewing the Mobix Proposal has and may continue to divert management’s and our board of directors’ attention and may require us to incur significant costs related to our engagement of advisors. Any further actions by Mobix or others may disrupt our business and operations by causing uncertainty among and potentially loss of current and prospective employees, partners, suppliers and other constituencies important to our success or delay potential initiatives, transactions or the like that we may pursue. Any of the foregoing could materially and negatively impact our business and financial results. Any perceived uncertainties as to our future direction also may adversely affect the market price and volatility of our common stock.

Previous report

On April 4, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business days ending on April 3, 2025, we no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). On June 18, 2025, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq notifying us that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
Reworded paragraphs (8)

Previous wording

Our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $179.4 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 and expected receipts associated with forecasted product sales, will enable us to meet our capital needs into the fourth quarter of 2025.

Current wording

Our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $180.6 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 and expected receipts associated with forecasted product sales will enable us to meet our capital needs into the first quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

Our evaluation of strategic alternatives may not lead to a favorable outcome and could create business disruption and stock price volatility.

Current wording

Our evaluation of strategic alternatives, including Mobix Labs’ proposal, may not lead to a favorable outcome and could create business disruption and stock price volatility.

Previous wording

On July 11, 2025, we announced that our Board has authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives, including a merger, sale of assets or other similar transaction, all intended to maximize stockholder value and further our business operations. We retained Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC as our financial advisor to assist with the exploration process. As part of this process, the Board is evaluating the Mobix Proposal. We currently have no commitments or agreements and are not negotiating with any parties relating to a merger, sale of assets or other similar transaction with us.

Current wording

On June 27, 2025, we confirmed in a public press release the receipt of an unsolicited non-binding acquisition proposal from Mobix Labs, which initial proposal was subsequently revised by Mobix Labs, most recently on October 3, 2025. On July 11, 2025, we announced that our Board has authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives, including a merger, sale of assets or other similar transaction, all intended to maximize stockholder value and further our business operations. This process is ongoing, and our Board has not set a definitive timetable for the completion of its evaluation. In connection with our ongoing strategic review process, the Board is evaluating Mobix Labs’ revised unsolicited non-binding proposal to acquire all of our outstanding shares for $1.30 per share in cash, which we received from Mobix Labs on October 3, 2025, and on October 30, 2025, we entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement with Mobix Labs, which contains customary terms, including mutual 12-month standstill and non-solicitation provisions.

Previous wording

The process of reviewing potential strategic alternatives may be time-consuming, distracting, and disruptive to our business operations, which may cause concern to our employees, investors, strategic partners, and other constituencies and may have a material impact on our business and operating results and/or result in increased volatility in our share price. We may incur substantial expenses associated with identifying, evaluating, and negotiating potential strategic alternatives.

Current wording

The process of reviewing potential strategic alternatives has been and may continue to be a significant distraction for our Board and management, and has required and may continue to require the expenditure of significant time and resources by us, which may cause concern to our employees, investors, strategic partners, and other constituencies and may have a material impact on our business and operating results and/or result in increased volatility in our share price.

Previous wording

Our common stock may lose value and could be delisted from Nasdaq due to several factors or a combination of such factors. While our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq, we can give no assurance that we will be able to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq in the future, including, but not limited to, the corporate governance requirements and the minimum closing bid price requirement or the minimum equity requirement.

Current wording

Our common stock may lose value and could be delisted from Nasdaq due to several factors or a combination of such factors. While our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq, we can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, including, but not limited to, the corporate governance requirements and the minimum closing bid price requirement or the minimum equity requirement. If we fail to maintain compliance with any such continued listing requirement, there can also be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with any such continued listing requirement in the future or that our common stock will not be delisted in the future.

Previous wording

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, or TSMC, the sole foundry that manufactured the wafers used to produce our memory IC products, discontinued the foundry process used to produce such wafers. As a result, we commenced an end-of-life (“EOL”) of our memory products in 2023. In March 2025, we fulfilled all outstanding EOL orders for our memory IC products. We do not expect any further shipments or to generate any meaningful revenue from shipments of our memory IC products after March 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our memory IC products represented approximately 38% and 86% of our revenues, respectively. The discontinuation of the production and sale of our memory IC products will negatively impact our future revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our memory IC products represented approximately 25% and 87% of our revenues, respectively. The discontinuation of the production and sale of our memory IC products will negatively impact our future revenues, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous wording

We incurred net losses of approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $179.4 million as of June 30, 2025. These and prior-year losses have resulted in significant negative cash flows. To remain competitive and expand our product offerings to customers, we will need to increase revenues substantially beyond levels that we have attained in the past in order to generate sustainable operating profit and sufficient cash flows to continue doing business without raising additional capital from time to time. Given our history of fluctuating revenues and operating losses, and the challenges we face in securing customers for our products, we cannot be certain that we will be able to achieve and maintain profitability on either a quarterly or annual basis in the future. As a result, we may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may or may not be available to us at all or only on unfavorable terms.

Previous wording

As a result of the decision to not recall the Employees, we determined that it was probable that a number of our non-cancelable licenses for computer-aided design software would not be utilized during the remaining license terms. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we expensed the value of the remaining contractual liabilities and recorded liabilities of approximately $1.6 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, a licensor terminated one of the license agreements and initiated a refund of approximately $56,300 for amounts previously paid by us. As a result, we reversed approximately $222,600 of expense and approximately $166,300 of the related contractual liabilities for this licensor during the three months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining contractual liabilities of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million were included in accrued expenses and other (see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and accounts payable, respectively, which are expected to be paid by September 30, 2025.
