Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note1 - Business Description and Significant Accounting Policies
Business Description
Oblong, Inc. (“Oblong” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in* May 2000.*We are a provider of patented multi-stream collaboration products and managed services for network solutions and video collaboration.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Oblong and our 100%-owned subsidiaries (i) GP Communications, LLC (“GP Communications”), whose business function is to provide interstate telecommunications services for regulatory purposes, and (ii) Oblong Industries, Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for all subsidiaries.
Segments
Effective* October 1, 2019,the former businesses of Glowpoint (now Oblong, Inc.) and Oblong Industries have been managed separately and involve different products and services. Accordingly, the Company currently operates intwo segments for purposes of segment reporting: (1) “Collaboration Products,” which represents the Oblong Industries business surrounding our Mezzanine™ product offerings, and (2) “Managed Services,” which represents the Oblong (formerly Glowpoint), business surrounding managed services for video collaboration and network solutions. See**Note9* - Segment Reporting** for further discussion.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements for reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. The significant areas of estimation include determining the estimated credit losses and the inputs used in the fair value of equity-based awards.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of* December 31, 2024,and2023*, our total cash balances of $4,965,000 and $5,990,000, respectively, were available; however, of this balance, $500,000 was held in short-term certificates of deposit with MidFirst bank for both years. The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities ofthree months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Provision for Estimated Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its Managed Services to end-users and its Collaboration Products to both resell partners and end-users. The Company extends credit to its customers based on their creditworthiness and historical data and performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected bad debt resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. We estimate our allowance for estimated credit losses based on relevant information such as historical experience, current economic conditions, and future expectations of specifically identified customer balances. This allowance is adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We donot obtain collateral from our customers to secure accounts receivable.

Net accounts receivable consisted of the following:
| As of December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Accounts receivable | $186,000 | $577,000 |
| Allowance for estimated credit losses | — | (153,000) |
| Accounts receivable, net | $186,000 | $424,000 |
The company recorded bad debt expense of $2,000 for our Collaboration Products segment during the year ended* December 31, 2024*, and a recovery of bad debt of $52,000 for our Collaboration Products segment during the year ended* December 31, 2023*. As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company's analysis resulted inno reserve for credit losses remaining on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods. It was determined using average costs and stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company periodically performs analyses to identify obsolete or slow-moving inventory. As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company had fully reserved its inventory, and the net inventory balance was zero.
Prepaid Expenses
As of* December 31, 2024,and2023*, consolidated prepaid expenses and other current assets were $118,000 and $243,000, respectively. These consisted primarily of corporate insurance, software licenses, and, in2023, customer deposits. The51% year-over-year decrease was primarily due to reductions in prepaid software licenses and customer deposits and the timing of cash outflows for the final payroll of the year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and lease obligations to meet the definition of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our lease obligations approximated their fair values, which were based on borrowing rates that were available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral, and maturity.
The Company measures fair value as required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic820“*Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic820”). ASC Topic820* defines fair value, establishes a framework, gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists athree-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| • | Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
| • | Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. |
| • | Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data when available and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic606.
The Company recognizes revenue using thefive-step model as prescribed by Topic606:
| • | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
-F-7-
| • | Identification of the distinct performance obligations in the contract; |
| • | Determination of the transaction price; |
| • | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| • | Recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company’s managed videoconferencing services are offered to our customers on either a usage basis or on a subscription. Our network services are offered to our customers on a subscription basis. Revenue for these services is generally recognized on a monthly basis as services are performed. Revenue related to professional services is recognized at the time the services are performed. The costs associated with obtaining a customer contract were previously expensed in the period they were incurred. Under Topic606, these payments are deferred on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the expected life of the customer contract. As of* December 31, 2024*, and2023, there wasno deferred revenue related to Managed Services. As of* December 31, 2022*, the deferred revenue balance for Managed services was $1,000. During the year ended* December 31, 2023*, the Company recorded $1,000 of revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of* December 31, 2022*.
The Company’s visual collaboration products are composed of hardware and embedded software sold as a complete package and generally include installation and maintenance services. Revenue for hardware and software is recognized upon shipment to the customer. Installation revenue is recognized upon completion of installation, which also triggers the beginning of recognition of revenue for maintenance services, which range fromone tothree years. Revenue is recognized over time for maintenance services. Licensing agreements are for the Company’s core technology platform, g-speak, and are generallyone year in length. Revenue for these services is recognized ratably over the service period. Deferred revenue for Collaboration Products, as of* December 31, 2024*,2023, and2022, totaled $36,000, $158,000, and $549,000, respectively, as certain performance obligations werenot satisfied as of this date. During the year ended* December 31, 2024*, the Company recorded $132,000 of revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of* December 31, 2023*. During the year ended* December 31, 2023*, the Company recorded $435,000 of revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of* December 31, 2022*.
Consolidated revenue recorded over time for the years ended* December 31, 2024,and2023* was $156,000 and $516,000, respectively. Revenue recorded at a period in time for the years ended* December 31, 2024,and2023* was $2,222,000 and $3,294,000, respectively.
The Company disaggregates its revenue by geographic region. SeeNote9 - Segment Reporting for more information.
Taxes Billed to Customers and Remitted to Taxing Authorities
We recognize taxes billed to customers in revenue and taxes remitted to taxing authorities in our cost of revenue. For the years ended* December 31, 2024,and2023*, we included taxes of $68,000 and $95,000, respectively, in revenue and $74,000 and $101,000, respectively, in cost of revenue.
Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill, and Intangible Assets
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”* (“ASC Topic360”), stated at cost, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from three toten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the asset’s useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Property and equipment assets, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled zero as of December 31, 2024,and2023*.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”* (“ASC Topic350”), and intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which initially ranged from five totwelve years. Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, totaled zero as of December 31, 2024,and2023*.
-F-8-
Operating Lease Right-of-use-assets
Right-of-use assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic842 “Leases” (“ASC Topic842”) and are amortized to yield a straight-line rent expense over the estimated life of the lease. Right-of-use assets, net related to our Collaboration Products segment, totaled zero and $17,000, as of* December 31, 2024,and2023*, respectively.
The Company has primarily leased facilities for office and warehouse space under non-cancellable operating leases for its U.S. locations and accounts for these leases in accordance with ASC-842. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Since our lease arrangements donot provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate for the expected remaining lease term on the commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments.
Impairment
The Company assesses the impairment of our long-lived assets subject to amortization when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets mightnot be recoverable. The determination of related estimated useful lives and whether ornot these assets are impaired involves significant judgments related primarily to the future profitability and/or future value of the assets. Changes in the Company’s strategic plan and/or other-than-temporary changes in market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and could require adjustments to recorded asset balances. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances has occurred that could have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of long-lived assets.
During the year ended* December 31, 2023*, we considered the declines in revenue for the Collaboration Products reporting segment and the decline in the Company’s market capitalization to be triggering events for an impairment test of our long-lived and intangible assets for this reporting unit. Based on the corresponding recoverability tests of the asset group for this reporting unit, it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the gross cash flows of the asset group. The recoverability tests consisted of comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets to the respective carrying amounts and involved significant judgments and assumptions related primarily to the future revenue and profitability of the assets.
For the year ended* December 31, 2023*, the Company disposed of property and equipment assets related to our Managed Services segment with a net value of $3,000. As a result, no property and equipment assets were reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of* December 31, 2024,and2023*.
For the year ended* December 31, 2023*, the Company recorded impairment charges of $259,000 on purchased intangible assets related to our Collaboration Products segment. As a result of these impairment charges, no intangible assets were reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of* December 31, 2024,and2023*.
Operating Leases
Operating leases are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic842 “Leases” (“ASC Topic842”), and the liabilities are amortized using a straight-line method over the estimated life of the lease. As of* December 31, 2023*, the remaining operating lease liability related to our Collaboration Products segment was $17,000, and as of* December 31, 2024*, the Company wasno longer party to any long-term operating leases.
-F-9-
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments arenot included in the lease payments to measure the lease liability and are expensed as incurred. For leases that include a Company option to extend the lease term that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company includes the extension in determining lease payments.
Leases with an initial term of12 months or less arenot recognized on the balance sheet. The expense for these short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Common area maintenance fees (CAMs) and other lease-related charges are expensed as incurred. The Company currently holds a month-to-month lease on warehouse space in Denver, Colorado, related to our Collaboration Products segment, which it considers short-term.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash needed for operations in commercial checking accounts, and the majority of our cash is held in a money market fund. Commercial bank balances* may,from time to time, exceed federal insurance limits. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in an amount up to$250,000* for any depositor; any deposit in excess of this insured amount could be lost.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability, and accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely thannot that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset willnot be realized.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based awards have been accounted for as required by ASC Topic718 “Compensation–* Stock Compensation*” (“ASC Topic718”). Under ASC Topic718, stock-based awards are valued at fair value on the date of grant, and that fair value is recognized over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses include internal and external costs related to developing new service offerings, features, and enhancements to our existing product offerings.
Treasury Stock
Purchases and sales of treasury stock are accounted for using the cost method. Under this method, shares acquired are recorded at the acquisition price directly to the treasury stock account. Upon sale, the treasury stock account is reduced by the original acquisition price of the shares, and any difference is recorded in additional paid-in capital on afirst-in-first-out basis. The Company doesnot recognize a gain or loss to income from the purchase and sale of treasury stock.
Casualty Loss
In* June 2022,the Company discovered that $533,000 of inventory related to our Collaboration Products segment was stolen from the Company’s warehouse in the City of Industry, California. During2022* and2023, we received recovery payments from our insurance policies of $50,000 and $400,000, respectively, resulting in a net casualty loss of $483,000 on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended* December 31, 2022,and a casualty gain of $400,000 on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023*. We donot expect any further recovery of the loss.

Note2 - Liquidity
As of* December 31, 2024*, we had $4,965,000 of available cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of $500,000 held in short-term certificates of deposit and $3,997,000 of working capital. For the years ended* December 31, 2024,and2023*, we incurred net losses of $4,043,000 and $4,384,000, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was $3,406,200 and $2,993,000, respectively.
There wasno cash flow activity related to investing activities for the years ended* December 31, 2024,and2023*.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended* December 31, 2024*, was attributable to net proceeds of $1,478,000 related to the exercise of Series F Preferred Stock warrants, and net proceeds of $903,000 related to the exercise of Common Stock warrants. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended* December 31, 2023*, was attributable to a private placement resulting in net proceeds of $5,364,000 and exercises of Common Stock warrants resulting in net proceeds of $534,000 (seeNote5 - Capital StockandNote6 - Preferred Stockto our Consolidated Financial Statements).
Future Capital Requirements
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our working capital requirements into mid-2026. We believe additional capital will be required in the long term to fund operations and provide growth capital, including potential strategic alternatives and investments in technology, product development, and sales and marketing. To access capital to fund operations or provide growth capital, we will need to raise capital from the exercise of outstanding common and/or preferred warrants, and/or inone or more debt and/or equity offerings. There can beno assurance that we will be successful in raising the necessary capital or that any such offering will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to raise additional capital that* may*be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

On* October 6, 2023,the Company and the Investors holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock agreed to waive any and all provisions, terms, covenants, and obligations in the Certificate of Designations or Common Warrants to the extent such provisions permit the conversion or exercise of the Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants, respectively, to occur at a price below $11.17 (the "Waiver"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, each of the “Alternate Conversion Price” and the “Floor Price” as set forth in the Certificate of Designations shall inno* event be less than $11.17 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalization, and similar events). On* September 13, 2024,the Company and the Investors agreed to delete Section2* of the Waiver, removing the minimum price restriction on the exercise of Common Warrants.
During the year ended* December 31, 2024*,24,104 Common Warrants were issued in accordance with the exercise provisions of the Preferred Warrants.See Note6 - Preferred Stock for additional detail on the exercises of the Preferred Warrants. These Common Warrants were exercisable at an initial exercise price of $68.40 and have a term offive years.
Pursuant to Sections2(a) and2(c) of the Common Warrants (the "Make-whole Provision"), as a result of the Reverse Split, the exercise price of the Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were adjusted to $3.41 per share, and the number of Common Warrant shares that* may*be purchased upon exercise of the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants were increased proportionately so that after the exercise price adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Common Warrant Shares was the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to the exercise price adjustment. These adjustments resulted in an aggregate of 2,401,047 Common Warrants and 153,470 Placement Agent Warrants remaining outstanding following the Reverse Split. The additional warrants created by the Make-whole Provision resulted in an aggregate deemed dividend of $8,974,000, which will reduce the net income available to common shareholders. Details of the Make-whole Provision transactions are presented below:

Note8 - Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding doesnot include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. Vested RSUs (for which shares of common stock havenot yet been delivered) are included in the calculations of basic net loss per share. Unvested RSUs arenot included in calculations of basic net loss per share, as they arenot considered issued and outstanding at the time of grant.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including warrants, stock options, RSUs, and unvested restricted stock awards, to the extent they are dilutive. For the year ended* December 31, 2024*, all such common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per share as the effect on net loss per share would be anti-dilutive (due to the net losses).
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| Numerator: | 2024 | 2023 |
| Net loss | $(4,043) | $(4,384) |
| Less: preferred stock dividends | 89 | 343 |
| Less: deemed dividend | 8,974 | — |
| Less: conversion inducement | — | 751 |
| Less: warrant modification | — | 25 |
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $(13,106) | $(5,503) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average number of shares of common stock for basic net loss per share | 834 | 293 |
| Basic net loss per share | $(15.71) | $(18.81) |
The following table represents the potential shares that were excluded from the computation of the weighted average number of shares of common stock in computing the diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Outstanding stock options | — | 250 |
| Common stock issuable upon conversion of Series F Preferred Stock (1) | 51,357 | 184,820 |
| Common stock issuable upon conversion of Series F Preferred Warrants (2) | 2,784,921 | 2,932,486 |
| Common stock issuable upon conversion of Common Stock Warrants | 2,272,203 | 2,071,855 |
| (1) | Calculation assumes the conversion of the stated value and accrued dividends of the Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the current exercise price of $11.17. |
| (2) | Calculation assumes the exercise of the Series F Preferred Warrants for cash into Series F Preferred Stock and subsequent conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Floor Price of $11.17. |

We and our subsidiary file federal and state tax returns on a consolidated basis. On* October 1, 2019,Oblong, Inc. acquired the stock of Oblong Industries Inc., resulting in Oblong Industries Inc.'s shareholders owning75%* of Oblong, Inc. Therefore, an “ownership change” occurred on this date (as defined under Section382 of the Internal Revenue Code of1986, as amended), which places an annual limitation on the utilization of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards accumulated before the ownership change. If additional ownership changes have occurred or do occur in the future, the use of the net operating loss carryforwards and the research and development credit could be subject to further limitation. As a result of this annual limitation and the limited carryforward life of the accumulated NOLs, we determined that the2019 ownership change resulted in the permanent loss of approximately $30,880,000 of federal NOL carryforwards. State NOL carryforwards were limited in a similar fashion.
The Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $143,636,000 on* December 31, 2024*. Of this amount, $75,224,000 will expire in various amounts from2025 through2037. As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company also has various state net operating loss carryforwards of an estimated $106,323,000. The determination of the state net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon apportionment percentages and state laws that can change, from year to year and impact the amount of such carryforwards. The Company has Research and Development credits of $2,154,000 at* December 31, 2024*. The Research and Development credits begin to expire at the end of2026.
There wereno significant matters determined to be unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, in accordance with ASC Topic740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements, that have been recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended* December 31, 2024,and2023*. The Company doesnot anticipate a material change to unrecognized tax benefits in the nexttwelve months.
Additionally, ASC740 provides guidance on the recognition of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. There wereno interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of and for the years ended* December 31, 2024,and2023*.
The Internal Revenue Service* maygenerally access additional income tax for the lastthree* years. This would generally prevent the Service from opening an examination for years ended on or before* December 31, 2021.However, there are exceptions that can extend the statute of limitations tosix* years and, in some cases, prevent it from ever expiring.
