NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

1. Description of Business

 

ParkerVision, Inc. (“ParkerVision”, “we” or the “Company”) is in the business of innovating and licensing fundamental wireless technologies.

 

We have designed and developed proprietary radio frequency (“RF”) technologies and integrated circuits based on those technologies, and we license those technologies to others for use in wireless communication products.   We have expended significant financial and other resources to research and develop our RF technologies and to obtain patent protection for those technologies in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and certain foreign jurisdictions.  We believe certain patents protecting our proprietary technologies have been broadly infringed by others, and therefore the primary focus of our business plan is the enforcement of our intellectual property rights through patent licensing and infringement litigation efforts.  We currently have patent enforcement actions ongoing in various U.S. district courts against mobile handset, smart television and other WiFi product providers, as well as semiconductor suppliers, for the infringement of a number of our RF patents.  We have made significant investments in developing and protecting our technologies, the returns on which are dependent upon the generation of future revenues for realization.

 

 

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of approximately $3.8 million and incurred negative cash flows from operations of approximately $1.8 million.  At March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $452.0 million.  At March 31, 2025, we had $2.9 million in current liabilities, including approximately $1.6 million in convertible debt that matures over the next twelve months.  In addition, a significant amount of future proceeds that we may receive from our patent enforcement and licensing programs will first be utilized to repay borrowings and legal fees and expenses under our contingent funding arrangements.  These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern for a period of one year following the issue date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. 

 

The timing and amount of proceeds from our patent enforcement actions are difficult to predict and there can be no assurance we will receive any proceeds from these enforcement actions.  Refer to Note 12 for a complete discussion of our patent enforcement proceedings. We expect that proceeds received by us from patent enforcement actions and technology licenses over the next twelve months may not alone be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements.  In addition, although all of our convertible notes have conversion prices that are currently below the market price of our common stock, conversion is at the option of the holder and there can be no assurance that the holders will exercise their conversion option prior to maturity.  Even with the conversions of our convertible debt by the holders, our current capital resources are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months and we may be required to seek additional capital.  Our ability to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months is dependent upon (i) our ability to successfully negotiate licensing agreements and/or settlements relating to the use of our technologies by others in excess of our contingent payment obligations, (ii) our ability to control operating costs, (iii) the exercise behavior of our convertible note holders, and/or (iii) our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing. 

 

We expect to continue to invest in the support of our patent licensing and enforcement program.  The long-term continuation of our business plan is dependent upon the generation of sufficient cash flows from our technology licenses to offset expenses and debt obligations.  In the event that we do not generate sufficient cash flows, we will be required to obtain additional funding through public or private debt or equity financing or contingent fee arrangements and/or reduce operating costs.  Failure to generate sufficient cash flows, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings or contingent fee arrangements, and/or reduce operating costs will have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business objectives.

3. Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended  March 31, 2025 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or future years.  All normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations have been included.

 

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.  These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”).  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ParkerVision, Inc. and its wholly-owned German subsidiary, ParkerVision GmbH, after elimination of all intercompany transactions and accounts.  ParkerVision GmbH was dissolved and any remaining assets reverted back to the parent company as of December 31, 2024.

 

 

4. Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes in accounting policies from those stated in our 2024 Annual Report.  We do not expect any newly effective accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective. 

 

 

5. Revenue

 

We have an active monitoring and enforcement program with respect to our intellectual property rights that includes seeking appropriate compensation from third parties that utilize or have utilized our intellectual property without a license.  As a result, we may receive payments as part of a settlement or in the form of court-awarded damages for a patent infringement dispute.  We recognize such payments as revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

 

No revenue was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

6. Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is determined based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share as all common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation because their effect is anti-dilutive.  

 

We have shares underlying outstanding options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), warrants, and convertible notes that were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  These common share equivalents at  March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

8. Related Party Note Payable

 

We have an unsecured promissory note of approximately $0.3 million payable to Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein, & Fox, PLLC (“SKGF”), a related party, for outstanding unpaid fees for legal services.  The SKGF note, as amended from time to time, accrues interest at a rate of 4% per annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $12,500 with a final balloon payment of approximately $0.02 million in  April 2027.  We are currently in compliance with all the terms of the note.

 

 

9. Convertible Notes

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, convertible notes with a face value of $0.2 million were converted, at the option of the holder, into approximately 1.3 million shares of our common stock.  No convertible notes were converted during the three months ended March 31, 2024No convertible notes were repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.  For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized interest expense of approximately $0.1 related to the contractual interest on our convertible notes.  During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we elected to pay $0.1 million of interest payments in shares of our common stock and issued approximately 0.1 million shares and 0.6 million shares, respectively, of our common stock as interest-in-kind payments.

Secured Contingent Payment Obligation

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of our secured contingent payment obligation, measured at estimated fair value, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended  December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Secured contingent payment obligation, end of period

 $42,867  $40,724 

 

Our secured contingent payment obligation consists of a secured, non-recourse note (the "Note") and a prepaid forward purchase contract (the "PPFPA") with Brickell Key Investments, LP (“Brickell”).   The Note has a face value of $45.5 million ("Face Value"), accrues simple interest at a fixed rate, and matures on August 14, 2028.  Payments under the Note will be made solely from proceeds from our patent assets, net of contingent fees payable to attorneys ("Distributions").  We are obligated to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the first $5.8 million in Distributions to Brickell, and thereafter will pay a percentage of Distributions, which varies depending upon the origin of the Distributions, until the Face Value of the Note, and accrued interest thereon, has been repaid in full.  If the amounts payable to Brickell from Distributions are insufficient to repay the face value and interest accrued on the Note by the maturity date, our remaining repayment obligations under the Note will be reduced to zero with future payment obligations, if any, being determined under the PPFPA.  The Note is secured by our patent assets and related proceeds and contains standard and customary representations, warranties and covenants.  The Note contains events of default including, but not limited to, (a) failure to pay principal or interest on the Note when due; (b) breach of representations or covenants, (c) impairment in the perfection or priority of Brickell's security interests in the collateral, and (d) bankruptcy or dissolution of the Company.  In the event of a default, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note will become immediately due and payable.  The PPFPA extends beyond the maturity date of the Note and provides that Brickell is entitled to a specified percentage of monetary recoveries resulting from our patent-related actions to the extent not already paid to Brickell under the Note, or otherwise prior to the inception of the Note.  The PPFPA also contains standard and customary representations, warranties and covenants.  The Note and PPFPA are collectively referred to as our secured contingent payment obligation.

 

We have elected to measure our secured contingent payment obligation at its estimated fair value based on probability-weighted estimated cash outflows, discounted back to present value using a discount rate determined in accordance with accepted valuation methods (see Note 11).  The secured contingent payment obligation is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period with changes recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss until the contingency is resolved.

 

The underlying carrying value of the Note, which includes the Face Value plus accrued interest, was approximately $61.2 million and $59.2 million as of  March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.  The range of potential proceeds payable to Brickell is discussed more fully in Note 11.  As of March 31, 2025, we are in compliance with our obligations under the Note and the PPFPA.

Unsecured Contingent Payment Obligations

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of our unsecured contingent payment obligations, measured at estimated fair value, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended  December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

11. Fair Value Measurements

 

Our convertible notes are recorded at face value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of  March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.  As of  March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of our convertible notes was approximately $2.78 million and $2.81 million, respectively and would be categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

 

The following tables summarize the fair value of our contingent payment obligations measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of  March 31, 2025 and  December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

The fair values of our secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations were estimated using a probability-weighted income approach based on various cash flow scenarios as to the outcome of patent-related actions both in terms of timing and amount, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate.  We used risk-adjusted discount rates for the secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations of 17.89% and 17.96%, respectively, at March 31, 2025, based on risk-free rates of 3.89% and 3.96%, respectively, as adjusted by 8% for credit risk and 6% for litigation inherent risk.  We used risk-adjusted discount rates for the secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations of 18.27% and 18.21%, respectively, at December 31, 2024, based on risk-free rates of 4.27% and 4.21%, respectively, as adjusted by 8% for credit risk and 6% for litigation inherent risk.

We evaluate the estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value of our contingent payment obligations each reporting period and make any adjustments prospectively based on those evaluations.  Changes in any of these Level 3 inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

 

 

12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business.  These proceedings include patent enforcement actions initiated by us against others for the infringement of our technologies, as well as proceedings brought by others against us in an attempt to invalidate certain of our patent claims.

 

The majority of our litigation is being paid for through contingency fee arrangements with our litigation counsel as well as third-party litigation financing.  In general, litigation counsel is entitled to recoup on a priority basis, from litigation proceeds, any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.  Following reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, litigation counsel is generally entitled to a percentage of remaining proceeds based on the terms of the specific arrangement between us, counsel and our third-party litigation funder.

ParkerVision v. Qualcomm (Middle District of Florida-Orlando Division) - Appealed to U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

On September 6, 2024, the U.S Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC") issued its opinion, ruling in our favor on each of the issues we appealed and remanding the case back to the Middle District of Florida (Orlando Division) where the case was reopened.  The CAFC appeal was filed  following several March 2022 district court rulings on pre-trial motions in our patent infringement case against Qualcomm, a case that was originally filed in May 2014.  The district court granted Qualcomm motions to strike and exclude our technical expert report, essentially precluding the support of infringement testimony at trial and also issued an order granting Qualcomm's motion for summary judgment ruling that Qualcomm did not infringe the remaining three patents in the case.  We appealed these rulings to the CAFC and oral arguments were heard in November 2023. In July 2024, the CAFC issued an order indicating that it did not have jurisdiction over this case as the district court had not entered a final judgement on Qualcomm's counterclaims of invalidity.  The parties filed a motion with the district court requesting an order dismissing Qualcomm's counterclaims of invalidity without prejudice. On August 1, 2024, the district court issued such an order, and on August 7, 2024, the matter was transferred back to the CAFC for its decision which was then issued on September 6, 2024.  The parties have submitted to the district court a summary of pre-trial motions that remain open and a request for a trial schedule.  In addition, Qualcomm filed a  new motion requesting additional claim construction which the court initially denied but then granted on reconsideration.  Both parties submitted their additional claim construction briefs in April 2025.  In March 2025, we filed a motion to substitute our infringement and validity expert due to the medical incapacity of our current expert.  The court has not yet ruled on this motion.  The court indicated that it would establish a trial date at a pre-trial conference, following its rulings on all outstanding motions. Curently, no pre-trial conference or trial date has been scheduled.

 

This patent infringement case was originally filed in the Middle District of Florida in May 2014.  The case was stayed in February 2016 pending decisions in other cases, including the appeal of a PTAB proceeding with regard to U.S. patent 6,091,940 (“the ‘940 Patent”) asserted in this case.  In March 2017, the PTAB ruled in our favor on three of the six petitions (the method claims), ruled in Qualcomm’s favor on two of the six petitions (the apparatus claims) and issued a split decision on the claims covered in the sixth petition.  In September 2018, the Federal Circuit upheld the PTAB’s decision with regard to the ‘940 Patent and, in January 2019, the court lifted the stay in this case.  In July 2019, the court issued an order that granted our proposed selection of patent claims from four asserted patents, including the ‘940 Patent, and denied Qualcomm’s request to limit the claims and patents.  The court also agreed that we may elect to pursue accused products that were at issue at the time the case was stayed, as well as new products that were released by Qualcomm during the pendency of the stay.  In September 2019, Qualcomm filed a motion for partial summary judgment in an attempt to exclude certain patents from the case, including the ‘940 Patent.  The court denied this motion in January 2020.  In April 2020, the court issued its claim construction order in which the court adopted our proposed construction for seven of the ten disputed terms and adopted slightly modified versions of our proposed construction for the remaining terms.

 

Discovery in this case was closed in January 2021.  In March 2021, the court granted Qualcomm’s motion to strike certain of our 2020 infringement contentions.  As a result of this ruling, in July 2021, we filed a joint motion for entry of a judgment of non-infringement of our Patent No. 7,865,177, subject to appeal. Citing the backlog due to the pandemic, among other factors, the court moved several scheduled deadlines.  Joint pre-trial statements were submitted by the parties in May 2021.  In January 2022, the court held a hearing to allow the parties to present their respective positions on three outstanding motions.  In March 2022, the district court rulings in favor of Qualcomm closed the district court case, subject to our appeal.  As a result of the court’s summary judgment motion in favor of Qualcomm, Qualcomm had the right to petition the court for its fees and costs, a right that was subsequently mooted given the CAFC's decision to vacate the 2022 summary judgement decision. 

 

Our damages expert has submitted a report supporting a damages ask of $1.3 billion for Qualcomm’s unauthorized use of our technology.  Such amount excludes additional amounts requested by us for interest and enhanced damages for willful infringement.  Ultimately, the amount of damages, if any, will be determined by the court.

ParkerVision v. Apple and Qualcomm (Middle District of Florida-Jacksonville Division)

We have a patent infringement case in the Middle District of Florida against Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and Qualcomm, filed in December 2015, alleging infringement of four of our patents, which was subsequently reduced to one patent.  Fact discovery has closed in this case and a jury trial was scheduled to begin in August 2020.  In March 2020, as a result of the impact of COVID-19, the parties filed a motion requesting an extension of certain deadlines in the case.  In April 2020, the court stayed this proceeding pending the outcome of the infringement case against Qualcomm in the Orlando Division of the Middle District of Florida.  

 

ParkerVision v. LG (District of New Jersey)

In July 2017, we filed a patent infringement complaint in the District of New Jersey against LG for the alleged infringement of four patents previously asserted in the Middle District of Florida (see ParkerVision v. Apple and Qualcomm above).  We elected to dismiss the case originally filed against LG in the Middle District of Florida and re-file in New Jersey as a result of a Supreme Court ruling regarding venue.  In March 2018, the court stayed this case pending a final decision in ParkerVision v. Apple and Qualcomm in the Middle District of Florida.  As part of this stay, LG has agreed to be bound by the final claim construction decision in that case.

 

ParkerVision v. Realtek (Western District of Texas)

We filed two patent infringement actions in the Western District of Texas against Realtek Semiconductor Corp. ("Realtek"), the first in 2022 and a second in 2023, alleging infringement of an aggregate of seven of our patents.  One of the seven patents was dropped from the litigation in August 2024.  A claim construction hearing was held in January 2024 in the first Realtek action and the court adopted the majority of our claim constructions.  A jury trial for the first Realtek action was originally scheduled for July 2025, but it is anticipated that the trial will be rescheduled for January 2026 due to ongoing discovery.  A claim construction hearing was held in June 2024 in the second Realtek action, and the special master appointed by the court recommended the majority of the claim constructions in our favor.  The court adopted the special master recommendations in November 2024.  The trial for the second Realtek action has been rescheduled for April 2026.

 

ParkerVision v. TCL (Western District of Texas)

We filed two patent infringement actions in the Western District of Texas in 2020 and 2021 against TCL Industries Holdings Co., Ltd, a Chinese company, TCL Electronics Holdings Ltd., Shenzhen TCL New Technology Co., Ltd, TCL King Electrical Appliances (Huizhou) Co., Ltd., TCL Moka Int'l Ltd. and TCL Moka Manufacturing S.A. DE C.V. (collectively "TCL") alleging infringement of approximately twelve of our patents.  The court issued its claim construction recommendations in the first TCL case, adopting our claim constructions for nearly all of the disputed terms.  In January 2023, the TCL action was stayed pending final resolution of patent infringement action filed against Realtek, the manufacturer of the integrated circuits used in TCL's alleged infringing products.

 

ParkerVision v. MediaTek (Western District of Texas)

We filed three patent infringement actions in the Western District of Texas against MediaTek Inc. and MediaTek USA Inc. (collectively, "MediaTek"), the first in 2022 and two additional cases in 2023, alleging infringement of an aggregate of ten of our patents.  One of the patents was dropped from the first MediaTek case in 2024 and MediaTek likewise terminated an inter partes review ("IPR") petition it had initiated against the same patent.  A claim construction hearing was held in  January 2024 in the first MediaTek action and the court adopted the majority of our claim constructions.  A jury trial for the first MediaTek action has been rescheduled for March 2026.  A claim construction hearing was held in June 2024 in the second MediaTek action.  The special master appointed by the court recommended the majority of the claim constructions in our favor and in January 2025, the court adopted the special master recommendations.  The trial for the second MediaTek action has been set for November 2026.  The third MediaTek action has a claim construction hearing scheduled for June 2025, and the trial has been scheduled for April 2027.

 

16

 

ParkerVision v. LGE (Western District of Texas)

We filed a patent infringement action in the Western District of Texas against LG Electronics, a South Korean company ("LGE") in 2021, alleging infringement of ten of our patents. The court issued its claim construction recommendations in  June 2022, adopting our claim constructions for nearly all of the disputed terms.  In  January 2023, the LGE action was stayed pending final resolution of patent infringement actions filed against Realtek and MediaTek as well as final resolution of IPR actions against patents in this case.  

 

ParkerVision v. Texas Instruments (Western District of Texas)

We filed a patent infringement action in the Western District of Texas against Texas Instruments ("TI") in 2023, alleging infringement of three of our patents.  In  December 2023, TI filed a motion to change venue to the Northern District of Texas which the court denied in August 2024. A claim construction hearing was held in June 2024, and the court issued its final claim construction order in November 2024.  The trial has been rescheduled for January 2026.

 

ParkerVision v. NXP Semiconductors (Western District of Texas)

We filed a patent infringement action in the Western District of Texas against NXP Semiconductors ("NXP") in 2023, alleging infringement of three of our patents.  A claim construction hearing was held in June 2024, and the court issued its final claim construction order in January 2025.   The trial has been scheduled for February 2026.  NXP has a motion pending to stay the case until such time that the PTAB has issued its rulings on pending IPRs (see Texas Instruments and NXP v. ParkerVision (PTAB) below).  The court has not yet ruled on this motion.

 

TCL and LGE v. ParkerVision (PTAB)

We appealed two IPR actions filed by TCL and LGE against our U.S. patent 7,292,835 (“the ‘835 Patent”) and U.S. patent 7,110,444 ("the ‘444 Patent"), both of which are asserted in the infringement cases against these parties in the Western District of Texas. In November 2022, the PTAB issued its written decision ruling that the challenged claims for both patents were unpatentable.  We appealed these decisions to the CAFC and oral arguments for both appeals were presented to the CAFC on June 3, 2024.  On June 5, 2024, the CAFC issued its final decision, in the form of a Rule 36, in both of these cases, affirming the PTAB rulings.  On November 4, 2024, we submitted a petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the CAFC's use of Rule 36 to affirm PTAB decisions without a written opinion.  On March 24, 2025, the Supreme Court denied our petition.

 

MediaTek v. ParkerVision (PTAB)

MediaTek filed an IPR petition in November 2023 against the '835 Patent, which is one of the patents asserted in the first MediaTek infringement action. In May, 2024, the PTAB instituted the IPR petition.  MediaTek withdrew its petition and the IPR was terminated in September 2024, following our dismissal of the '835 Patent from the patent infringement action against MediaTek.  MediaTek filed a second petition for IPR in May 2024 against the '686 Patent which is one of the patents asserted in the second MediaTek infringement action.  The PTAB instituted this IPR in November 2024 and a final decision is expected in November 2025.  In October 2024, MediaTek filed a third petition for IPR against  the '593 Patent, one of the patents asserted in the third MediaTek action.  The PTAB' instituted this IPR in March 2025.

 

17

 

Texas Instruments and NXP v. ParkerVision (PTAB)

Texas Instruments filed three petitions for IPR in May 2024 against each of the patents asserted in the TI action.  All three IPRs were instituted by the PTAB in November 2024 and a decision is expected by November 2025.  NXP filed petitions for IPR against two of the three patents asserted in the NXP action, which are the same as two of the patents asserted in the TI action.  Accordingly, in December 2024, the PTAB granted NXP's joinder motion to join the TI petitions.

 

Realtek v. ParkerVision (PTAB)

In December 2024, Realtek filed petitions for IPR against two patents asserted in the second Realtek action, which are the same as the two patents under joint IPR by TI and NXP.  Realtek has filed a joinder motion to join the TI/NXP proceedings.

 

 

13. Stock Authorization and Issuance

 

Stock Issuances

 

Private Placements

In December 2024, we entered into securities purchase agreements with accredited investors for the sale of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock and 2,000,000 warrants at a price of $0.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.0 million.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and have an estimated fair value of approximately $0.8 million.  The shares were registered for resale on a registration statement that was declared effective on April 24, 2025 (File No. 333-286486).

 

Common Stock Warrants

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 5.0 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.74 were exercised via net share exercise for no proceeds, resulting in the issuance of 1.3 million shares of our common stock.  As of March 31, 2025, we had remaining outstanding warrants for the purchase of up to 9.7 million shares of our common stock.  The estimated grant date fair value of these warrants of $3.0 million is included in additional paid-in capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  As of March 31, 2025, our outstanding warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $0.97 per share and a weighted average remaining life of approximately 2.6 years. 

 

14. Share-Based Compensation

 

There has been no material change in the assumptions used to compute the fair value of our equity awards, nor in the method used to account for share-based compensation from those stated in our 2024 Annual Report.

 

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million.  Share-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.  As of March 31, 2025, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested share-based compensation awards.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 0.9 years.

  

Our share-based compensation expense includes share-based awards to third-party consultants.  During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued 250,000 nonqualified share options to a third-party as payment for consulting services over a one-year period.   In addition, we issued 100,000 performance-based RSUs to a third-party as incentive compensation under a 2025 agreement.   During the three-months ended March 31, 2024, we issued 120,000 shares of our common stock to a third party as payment for consulting services over a one-year period.

15. Segment Information

 

Our operations constitute a single reportable segment, focused on licensing our innovative, fundamental wireless technologies, often through patent infringement actions.  All revenues, operating expenses, and assets attributable to this segment are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, collectively, are considered to be the chief operating decision maker ("CODM").  The CODM uses consolidated net losses, along with consideration of certain significant cash and noncash expense categories, to assess performance by comparing to and monitoring against budget and prior year results.  This information is used to manage resources and invest in key strategic priorities.

 

Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

16. Subsequent Events

 

On April 15, 2025, the compensation committee of the Board authorized the modification of 8,000,000 fully-vested, nonqualified share options held by our chief executive officer and 1,000,000 fully-vested, nonqualified share options held by our chief financial officer.  The options, which were awarded to the executive officers in January 2021, are exercisable at $0.54 per share and had an original expiration date of January 11, 2026The compensation committee extended the expiration date by five years, or until January 11, 2031.   No other modifications were made to these awards.   We will recognize a one-time, non-cash charge to share-based compensation expense of approximately $1.9 million in April 2025 representing the incremental fair value of the options as a result of the modification, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our shareholders and to the public.  This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, in particular, statements about our future plans, objectives, and expectations contained in this Item.  When used in this quarterly report and in future filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the words or phrases “expects”, “will likely result”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “estimated” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements.”  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or projected, including the risks and uncertainties identified in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) and in this Item 2 of Part I of this quarterly report.  Examples of such risks and uncertainties include general economic and business conditions, competition, unexpected changes in technologies and technological advances, the timely development and commercial acceptance of new products and technologies, reliance on our intellectual property, the outcome of our intellectual property litigation and the ability to obtain adequate financing in the future.  We have no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Overview

 

We have invented and developed proprietary radio frequency (“RF”) technologies and integrated circuits based on those technologies, and we license those technologies to third parties for use in wireless communication products.  We have expended significant financial and other resources to research and develop our RF technologies and to obtain patent protection for those technologies in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and certain foreign jurisdictions.  We believe certain patents protecting our proprietary technologies have been broadly infringed by others and therefore the primary focus of our business plan is the enforcement of our intellectual property rights through patent licensing and infringement litigation efforts.  We currently have patent enforcement actions ongoing in various U.S. district courts against mobile handset, smart television, and other WiFi product providers, as well as semiconductor suppliers, for the infringement of several of our RF patents.  We have made significant investments in developing and protecting our technologies, the returns on which are dependent upon the generation of future revenues for realization.

Recent Events

 

 

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

We used cash for operations of approximately $1.8 million and $0.8 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  The increase in cash used for operations from 2024 to 2025 is primarily due to accrued bonuses paid and increases in legal, accounting and other third-party professional fees for services during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

At March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.3 million, an accumulated deficit of $452.0 million, and working capital of $0.6 million.  At March 31, 2025, we had $2.9 million in current liabilities, including approximately $1.6 million in convertible debt that matures over the next twelve months.  In addition, a significant amount of future proceeds that we may receive from our patent enforcement and licensing programs will first be utilized to repay borrowings and legal fees and expenses under our contingent funding arrangements.  These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern for a period of one year following the issue date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. 

 

Our convertible notes have conversion prices that are substantially below the market price of our common stock as of March 31, 2025.  While we anticipate that all of our outstanding convertible notes will be converted by the holders prior to their scheduled maturity dates, conversion is at the option of the holder and there can be no assurance that the holders will convert prior to maturity.  Even with the anticipated conversions of our convertible debt, our current capital resources are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months and we may be required to seek additional capital.  Our ability to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months is dependent upon (i) our ability to successfully negotiate licensing agreements and/or settlements relating to the use of our technologies by others in excess of our contingent payment obligations, (ii) our ability to control operating costs, (iii) the exercise behavior of our convertible note holders, and/or (iv) our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing.  We expect that proceeds received by us from patent enforcement actions and technology licenses over the next twelve months may not alone be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements.

 

We expect to continue to invest in the support of our patent licensing and enforcement program.  The long-term continuation of our business plan is dependent upon the generation of sufficient cash flows from our technologies and/or products to offset expenses and debt obligations.  In the event that we do not generate sufficient cash flows, we will be required to obtain additional funding through public or private debt or equity financing or contingent fee arrangements and/or reduce operating costs.  Failure to generate sufficient cash flows, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings or contingent fee arrangements, and/or reduce operating costs will have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business objectives.

Financial Condition

 

Our working capital decreased approximately $2.1 million from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025.  This decrease in working capital is primarily the result of cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as well as $1.1 million of additional convertible notes due to mature in the next twelve months.

 

Our long-term liabilities increased $1.1 million from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in the estimated fair value our contingent payment obligations, partially offset by the conversion of $0.2 million of convertible notes to equity and the reclassification from long-term to current liabilities of $1.1 million of convertible notes that mature within the next twelve months.  Refer to "Change in Fair Value of Contingent Payment Obligations" below.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

 

Revenue and Cost of Sales

We reported no licensing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.  Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 consists of amortization expense related to the patents covered under license agreements.  Revenue resulting from our patent enforcement actions is highly unpredictable with respect to the amount and timing of receipt, and there can be no assurance that we will achieve our anticipated results.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of litigation fees and expenses, personnel and related costs, including share-based compensation, for executive, Board, finance and accounting and technical support personnel for our patent enforcement program, and costs incurred for insurance and outside professional fees for accounting, legal and business consulting services.

 

23

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by  $0.5 million, or 60.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024.  This is primarily the result of a $0.1 million increase in litigation fees and expenses, a $0.3 million increase in consulting and public relations expenses, and a $0.1 million increase in accounting fees.

 

The increase in litigation fees and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily the result of fees incurred to support our cert petition to the U.S. Supreme Court which was denied in March 2025. The increase in consulting and public relations fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to third party services to support our social media public awareness campaign, financial advisory and shareholder relations fees, and fees for the engagement of a consultant by our compensation committee to benchmark executive compensation.  The increase in accounting fees is the result of a change in accounting firms in late 2024.

 

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Payment Obligations

 

We have elected to measure our secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations at fair value which is based on significant unobservable inputs.  We estimated the fair value of our secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations using a probability-weighted income approach based on the estimated present value of projected future cash outflows using a risk-adjusted discount rate.  Increases or decreases in the significant unobservable inputs could result in significant increases or decreases in fair value.  Generally, changes in fair value are a result of changes in estimated amounts and timing of projected future cash flows due to increases in funded amounts, passage of time, and changes in the probabilities based on the status of the funded actions.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an aggregate increase in the fair value of our secured and unsecured contingent payment obligations of approximately $2.5 million compared to an aggregate decrease of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.  The change in fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily the result of changes in the estimated amounts of projected future cash outflows due to increases in accrued interest on our secured contingent payment obligation and increases in the net present value of our obligations as a result of decreases in the risk-free rates of return.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions, Arrangements and Other Relationships

 

As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 9.7 million shares of our common stock.  The estimated grant date fair value of these warrants of approximately $3.0 million is included in shareholders’ deficit in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The outstanding warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $0.97 per share and a weighted average remaining life of approximately 2.6 years.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes in accounting policies from those stated in our 2024 Annual Report.  We do not expect any newly effective accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
