Item 8. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
of ParkerVision, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated** balance sheet of ParkerVision, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and **the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited the adjustments to the 2023 information in Note 17 to retrospectively apply the change in accounting (resulting from the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07,Segment Reporting Topic 280):* Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures)*, as described in Note 1. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2023 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2023 financial statements taken as a whole.
Substantial Doubt About the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has losses from operations, negative operating cash flows and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As a part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Fair Value of Contingent Payment Obligations
As described in Notes 1, 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded the contingent payment obligations at fair value as of December 31, 2024. To determine the fair value of contingent payment obligations, the Company uses a present value technique based on discounted cash flows to estimate the fair value.
We determined the fair value of the contingent payment obligations listed above was a critical audit matter because the fair value estimates require significant estimates and assumptions by management, including those relating to future patent-related cash proceeds and discount rates. Testing these estimates and obtaining sufficient audit evidence involved increased auditor judgment and effort.
Our audit procedures related to the valuation of the contingent payment obligations included the following, among others:
| ● | We obtained an understanding and evaluated the appropriateness of management's valuation methodology, including testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation. |
| ● | We engaged an external patent litigation specialist to assist with discussions with the Company's patent litigation attorneys in understanding and evaluating significant assumptions used in management's estimate of the fair value of the contingent payment obligations. |
| ● | We performed sensitivity analyses of the timing of future cash flows to evaluate changes in the fair value of the contingent payment obligations. |
| ● | We utilized our internal valuation specialist to evaluate the methodology and significant assumptions used in calculating the credit risk portion of the discount rate utilized by management in estimating the fair value of the contingent payment obligations. |
