Current report

The information the Company has published in its financial statements about its pursuit of an asset sale, along with disclosure of the going concern risk has caused some customers to question whether they should continue doing business with ClearOne. This uncertainty has caused some customers to put orders on hold while they evaluate the risks of potentially losing product warranty support in the future.

Current report

S&M expenses were $1.4 million in Q2-2025, compared to $1.2 million in Q2-2024, while the year-to-date results for the six months ended June 30, showed $2.5 million in 2025 compared to $2.5 million in 2024. Both comparisons are the result of decreased sales commissions on fewer sales as well as lowered marketing spend that was offset by severance expense from 2025 Q2 reduction in force being recognized.

Current report

R&D expenses were, $1.4 million in Q2-2025, compared to $0.9 million in Q2-2024, while the year-to-date results for the six months ended June 30, showed $2.1 million in 2025 compared to $1.8 million in 2024. The increase in comparing the quarterly results was primarily due to severance payments made in the Indian subsidiaryand severance expense accrued in the US in 2025-Q2 partially offset by reduction in personnel in the US. The increase in the year to year comparison was due toseverance expenses accrued in Q2 2025 for a June 2025 reduction in force partially offset by decreased headcount, decreased R&D project spend, and operational efficiencies.

Current report

G&A expenses were $1.6 million in Q2-2025, compared to $0.8 million in Q2-2024, while the year-to-date results for the six months ended June 30, showed $2.7 million in 2025 compared to $1.9 million in 2024. The increases in comparing both periods were due to increased legal, investment bank, and regulatory expenses related to the exploration of strategic alternatives and increases in personnel to add headcount to the US accounting team, anticipating compliance needs.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, interest expense included approximately $8 related to the convertible notes issued on June 20, 2025.

Current report

In February 2025, the Company raised $1.0 million in a private placement transaction of common stock. The 1-for-15 reverse stock split effective June 9, 2025, supported our Nasdaq compliance regain and may enhance our ability to access capital markets. On June 20, 2025, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with First Finance Ltd., pursuant to which First Finance Ltd. purchased $3.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes, providing restricted proceeds intended for working capital, potential warrant repurchases, and operational needs as we pursue the Asset Sale. In connection with this financing, we are required to use reasonable best efforts to complete the Asset Sale within 180 days of issuing Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock as a dividend to common stockholders (which occurred July 18, 2025), with net proceeds from any Asset Sale to be distributed pro rata to holders of such preferred stock. Additionally, on June 20, 2025, we implemented a reduction in force affecting a significant portion of our workforce to scale operations and reduce expenses in alignment with the Asset Sale pursuit, which may result in short-term severance and related costs.

Current report

In furtherance of the Asset Sale pursuit, on June 30, 2025, the Board declared a one-time special stock dividend of Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock, payable July 18, 2025, which entitles holdersof the Class A Redeemable Prefererd Stockto 100% of net proceeds from any Asset Sale upon redemption. This structure aligns stockholder interests with the strategic process but depends on the successful completion of the Asset Sale for value realization.

Current report

Subsequent to quarter-end, on July 1, 2025, First Finance Ltd. disclosed beneficial ownership of approximately 32.4% of our common stock (including potential conversions), granting them rights to nominate two directors. This concentration may influence strategic decisions, including the ongoing Asset Sale process, and could affect our ability to attract alternative financing or partners.

Current report

Subsequent to quarter-end, on July 7, 2025, we clarified via press release that Nasdaq will not issue an ex-dividend date for the special stock dividend, ensuring that only record date holders (July 11, 2025) receive the Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock, which supports our focus on legacy stockholder value in the Asset Sale process.

Previous wording

Overall revenue decreased by 36% in thefirst quarter of 2025 when compared to thefirst quarter of 2024, primarily due to a significant decrease in revenues from product shortages that resulted in delayed product shipments. The revenue decline was also caused by significantly reduced demand for our products in many regions including USA, Europe and China when compared to 2024-Q1 revenues. We believe this revenue decline was primarily due to the cumulative impact of past production shortages. We believe that lack of product availability has caused some of our channel partners to purchase and install competing brands. Historically, we have seen a lag of several months between the time that our professional conferencing products are specified for installation and the date when those products are installed. Since our product availability was constrained through a significant part of Q4 2023, we believe our revenue was impacted negatively by these market dynamics through much of 2024. We have also faced sales headwinds from our products’ lack of Microsoft Teams certification, despite their longtime functional compatibility with this platform. In Q1 2025, we were unable to maintain an uninterrupted flow of inventory from our contract manufacturers and suppliers due to insufficient cash on hand. This issue negatively affected new products that we introduced in Q1 2025 as well as older products with consistent demand. Our work through the first three months of 2025 has focused on mitigating these impacts through maintaining consistent dialogues, product demonstrations, and feedback cycles with end users and channel partners, along with improving our visibility at key industry events. In addition, we saw a reduction in sales in the Middle East region, where we had previously experienced consistent sales growth, as we transitioned to a new distributor for the Middle East region. We believe our revenue performance in 2025-Q1 compared to 2024-Q1 also was to a small extent impacted negatively due to anticipated cost increases, whether realized or unrealized, associated with the tariffs on electronic raw materials that have affected the global manufacturing of high-tech products. We do expect to realize some of these increased costs in various degrees through the remainder of 2025.

Previous wording

Our gross profit margin decreased to 5.2% during thefirst quarter of 2025 from 31.8% during thefirst quarter of 2024. The reduction in gross margin is the result of revenue decreasing by a higher percentage than cost of goods sold. The Company experienced a significant reduction in inventory levels, with a decrease of approximately $1.4 million compared to December 31, 2024. This reduction was primarily driven by supply chain pauses from our cash flow constraints. As a result, there was insufficient new inventory to absorb the Company’s standard overhead allocation, which is typically applied to inventory production. This led to unabsorbed overhead costs being recognized as an expense in the period, directly impacting cost of goods sold.

Current wording

Our gross loss margin decreased to (12.1)% during thesecond quarter of 2025 from (0.9)% during thesecond quarter of 2024. The increase in gross loss margin is the result of revenue decreasing by a higher percentage than cost of goods soldand the accrual of severance expense resulting from a reduction in force. The Company experienced a significant reduction in inventory levels, with a decrease of approximately $2.7 million compared to December 31, 2024.

Previous wording

Net loss increased from $(1.9)million in thefirst quarter of 2024 to $(2.8) million in thefirst quarter of 2025. The increase in net loss was mainly due to the decrease in revenues and decrease in gross margin.

Current wording

Net loss increased from $(2.8) million in thesecond quarter of 2024 to $(4.6) million in thesecond quarter of 2025.

We will need to complete one or more strategic transactions or raise additional working capital to continue our normal and planned operations. We will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. In addition, as a public company, we will incur accounting, legal and other expenses. These expenditures will make it necessary for us to continue to raise additional working capital. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our increased operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern and we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our business and otherwise implement our growth initiatives.** **

The audio-visual products market is characterized by intense competition and rapidly evolving technology. Our competitors vary within each product category. Our installed professional audio-conferencing products, which is our flagship product category, continue to be ahead of the competition despite the reduction in revenues. Our strength in this space is largely due to our fully integrated suite of products consisting of DSP wide range of professional microphone products and video collaboration products. Despite our strong leadership position in the installed professional audio-conferencing market, we face challenges to revenue growth due to the lack of component availability to build our products in 2023 driving growth to competitors, pricing pressures from new competitors attracted to the commercial market due to higher margins, and the lack of certifications from Microsoft. Notably, the Microsoft Teams device certification program is closed to new meeting room devices and solutions. Although we have requested admission into this certification program on multiple occasions ClearOne has been denied admission by Microsoft so far.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue (approximately 58.5% in the first three months of 2025) from operations outside North and South America and expect this trend to continue in the future. Most of our revenue from outside the U.S. is billed in U.S. dollars and is not exposed to any significant currency risk. However, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk if the U.S. dollar is strong against other currencies as it will make U.S. Dollar denominated prices of our products less competitive.

Current wording

Previous wording

The reduction in gross margin is the result of revenue decreasing by a higher percentage than cost of goods sold. The Company experienced a significant reduction in inventory levels, with a decrease of approximately $1.4 million compared to December 31, 2024. This reduction was primarily driven by supply chain pauses from our cash flow constraints. As a result, there was insufficient new inventory to absorb the Company’s standard overhead allocation, which is typically applied to inventory production. This led to unabsorbed overhead costs being recognized as an expense in the period, directly impacting cost of goods sold.

Previous wording

Our profitability in the near term continues to depend significantly on our revenues from professionally installed audio-conferencing products. We hold long-term inventory and if we are unable to sell our long-term inventory, our profitability might be affected by inventory write-offs and price mark-downs. Our long-term inventory consists primarily of three product categories. These categories are as follows: Converge Pro and Beamforming microphone array products, cameras, and raw materials that will be used primarily for manufacturing professional audio-conferencing products and BMA microphones. Any business changes that are adverse to these product lines could potentially impact our ability to sell our long-term inventory in addition to our current inventory.

Previous wording

These and other conditions raise substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. We will need to complete one or more strategic transactions or raise additional working capital to continue our normal and planned operations. We will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. In addition, as a public company, we will incur accounting, legal and other expenses. These expenditures will make it necessary for us to continue to raise additional working capital. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our increased operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern and we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our business and otherwise implement our growth initiatives. In February 2025, the Company raised $1,000 in a private placement transaction. We may be unable to complete a strategic transaction within a reasonable timeframe, on attractive terms or at all, and market conditions, including the historical volatility in our common stock will likely limit our ability to raise capital on favorable terms, or at all, and the terms of any public or private offerings of debt or equity securities likely would be significantly dilutive to existing stockholders. There is no set timetable for the overall process given the anticipated timelines for different strategic alternatives may vary, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in us pursuing a transaction or that any transaction, if pursued, will be completed on attractive terms or at all. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the outcome of these uncertainties.

We may be unable to complete the Asset Sale or other strategic transactions within a reasonable timeframe, on attractive terms or at all, and market conditions, including the historical volatility in our common stock, will likely limit our ability to raise capital on favorable terms, or at all, and the terms of any public or private offerings of debt or equity securities likely would be significantly dilutive to existing stockholders. There is no set timetable for the overall process given the anticipated timelines for different strategic alternatives may vary, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in us pursuing a transaction or that any transaction, if pursued, will be completed on attractive terms or at all. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the outcome of these uncertainties, including successful inventory sales, additional investments, or the completion of long-term asset sales.
