Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Boxlight Corporation
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boxlight Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 part of our audits 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2018.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
COMPANY HISTORY AND RECENT ACQUISITIVE GROWTH
Boxlight Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 18, 2014 with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products. The Company designs, produces and distributes interactive technology solutions to the education market.
On December 31, 2021, the Company acquired FrontRow Calypso LLC, a California company and a leader in classroom and campus communication solutions for the education market.
On September 24, 2020, the Company acquired Sahara Holdings, Ltd., a leader in distributed and manufactured AV solutions. Headquartered in the United Kingdom, Sahara is a leader in distributed AV products and a manufacturer of multi-award-winning touchscreens and digital signage products, including the globally renowned Clevertouch and Sedao brands.
On April 17, 2020, the Company acquired the assets, and assumed certain liabilities of MyStemKits and STEM Education Holdings, Pty, an Australian corporation (“STEM”), the largest online collection of K-12 STEM curriculum for 3D printing.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances among all of affiliated entities have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature and necessary for fair financial statement presentation.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, 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 those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates of allowances for bad debts, and inventory obsolescence; the recoverability of deferred tax assets; the fair value and the recoverability of warrants; the initial fair value of preferred stock, intangible assets and goodwill; stock compensation, fair values of assets acquired and estimates for contingent liabilities.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income (loss) reflects the change in equity during the year and is comprised of all components of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates and is generally the currency in which the Company’s business generates and expends cash. Subsidiaries with different functional currencies, translate their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of equity (deficit). Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from transactions denominated in
F-6
Table of Contents
currencies other than the functional currency. Gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income (loss) for the period in which the exchange rates change.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $ 250,000 for banks located in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash bank accounts.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Accounts receivable are stated at contractual amounts, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amounts that ultimately will not be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of receivables and knowledge of the individual customers. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost methods. Cost includes direct cost from the Current Manufacturer (“CM”) or Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.
The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to several quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
LONG–LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Transactions in which the Company acquires or obtains control of one or more businesses are accounted for as business combinations in accordance with Topic 805, Business Combinations , which requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date on the balance sheet. Income taxes, where applicable, are recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. For transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2021, contract liabilities acquired in a business combination are recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgement and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future
F-7
Table of Contents
revenue, costs and cash flows, and discount rates. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess consideration transferred over the assigned values of net assets acquired would be recorded as goodwill. The amounts of revenue and earnings of the acquiree since the acquisition date are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the reporting period.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired businesses, and represents implied synergies expected of the completed business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.
Under Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other , the Company has an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether quantitative impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of a qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the business is less than carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. Otherwise, no further testing is necessary. If the Company performs a qualitative assessment, the Company considers the following criteria: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance and other entity specific events. In addition, the Company assesses whether the most recent fair value determination resulted in an amount that significantly exceeded the carrying amount of the Company. Based on these assessments, the Company determines whether the likelihood that a current fair value determination would be less than the current carrying amount is not more likely than not.
Because the qualitative assessment is an option, the Company may bypass it for any reporting unit in any period and begin the analysis using a quantitative impairment test. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative impairment test based on the period of time that has passed since the most recent determination of fair value, even when the Company does not believe that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the business is less than carrying amount.
In analyzing goodwill for potential impairment in the quantitative impairment test, the Company uses a combination of the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value based on estimated future discounted cash flows. The assumptions used are based on what the Company believes a hypothetical marketplace participant would use in estimating fair value. Under the market approach, the Company estimates the fair value based on market multiples of revenue or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization for benchmark companies. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if the fair value were to be less than carrying value, the Company would then determine the amount of the impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeded its implied value. No goodwill impairments have been identified and recognized during any of the periods presented.
Since the acquisition of FrontRow Calypso LLC occurred December 31, 2021, the Company believes that the carrying amount does not exceed the fair value for the reporting unit. Goodwill arising from the FrontRow Calypso LLC acquisition was not included in the goodwill impairment testing for 2021 but will included in the impairment testing in 2022.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit and presented net of accumulated amortization. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of intangible assets for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company measures the recoverability of intangible assets by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the Company expects the asset to generate. Impairment is measured by the amount in which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of long-lived intangible assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
DERIVATIVE TREATMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or a
F-8
Table of Contents
liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.
The Company determined that certain warrants to purchase common stock do not satisfy the criteria for classification as equity instruments due to the existence of certain net cash and non-fixed settlement provisions that are not within the sole control of the Company. Such warrants are measured at fair value at each reporting date, and the changes in fair value are included in determining net income for the period.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, accounts receivable, warrants, accounts payable and debt. Due to the short-term nature of cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. Debt approximates fair value due to either the short-term nature or recent execution of the debt agreement. The amount of consideration received is deemed to be the fair value of long-term debt net of any debt discount and issuance cost.
Warrants and contingent consideration for acquired businesses are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of this calculation, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units subject to vesting and warrants to purchase common stock were considered to be common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 8.7 million of potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. The dilutive effect of convertible instruments is determined using the if-converted method, presuming share settlement.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In accordance with Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and the title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. Product revenue is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels, audio and communication equipment and related software and accessories to distributors, resellers, and end users. Service revenue is derived from hardware maintenance services, product installation, training, software maintenance, and subscription services.
Nature of Products and Services and Related Contractual Provisions
The Company’s sales of interactive devices, including panels, projectors, audio and communication equipment and other interactive devices generally include hardware maintenance services, a license to software, and the provision of related software maintenance. Interactive devices are generally sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 36 - 60 months . Software maintenance includes technical support, product updates on a when and if available basis, and error correction services. At times, non-interactive projectors are also sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 60 months . The Company also licenses software independently of its interactive devices, in which case it is bundled with software maintenance, and in some cases, subscription services that include access to on-line content, and cloud-based applications. The Company’s software subscription services provide access to content and software applications on an as needed basis over the Internet, but do not provide the right to take delivery of the software applications.
F-10
Table of Contents
The Company’s product sales, including those with software and related services, generally include a single payment up front for the products and services, and revenue is recorded net of estimated sales returns and rebates based on the Company’s expectations and historical experience. For most of the Company’s product sales, control transfers, and therefore, revenue is recognized when products are shipped at the point of origin. When the Company transfers control of its products to the customer prior to the related shipping and handling activities, the Company has adopted a policy of accounting for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a performance obligation. For many of the Company’s software product sales, control is transferred when shipped at the point of origin since the software is installed on the interactive hardware device in advance of shipping. For other software product sales, control is transferred when the customer receives the related access code or interactive hardware since the customer’s access code or connection to the interactive hardware activates the software license at which time the software is made available to the customer. For the Company’s software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services, revenue is recognized ratably over time as the services are provided since time is the best output measure of how those services are transferred to the customer.
The Company’s installation, training and professional development services are generally sold separately from the Company’s products. Control of these services is transferred to our customers over time with hours/time incurred in providing the service being the best depiction of the transfer of services since the customer is receiving the benefit of the services as the work is performed.
For the sale of third-party products and services where the Company obtains control of the products and services before transferring it to the customer, the Company recognizes revenue based on the gross amount billed to customers. The Company considers multiple factors when determining whether it obtains control of the third-party products and services including, but not limited to, evaluating if it can establish the price of the product, retains inventory risk for tangible products or has the responsibility for ensuring acceptability of the product or service. The Company has not historically entered into transactions where it does not take control of the product or service prior to transfer to the customer.
The Company excludes all taxes assessed by a governmental agency that are both imposed on and concurrent with the specific revenue-producing transaction from revenue (for example, sales and use taxes). In essence, the Company is reporting these amounts collected on behalf of the applicable government agency on a net basis as though they are acting as an agent. The taxes collected and not yet remitted to the governmental agency are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Significant Judgments
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, each of which represent promises within a contract that are distinct, the Company allocates revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”). The Company’s products and services included in its contracts with multiple performance obligations generally are not sold separately and there are no observable prices available to determine the SSP for those products and services. Since observable prices are not available, SSPs are established that reflect the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of the performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company’s process for estimating SSPs without observable prices considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation including, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance obligation, market trends in the pricing for similar offerings, product-specific business objectives, and competitor or other relevant market pricing and margins. Because observable prices are generally not available for the Company’s performance obligations that are sold in bundled arrangements, the Company does not apply the residual approach to determining SSP. However, the Company does have certain performance obligations for which pricing is highly variable or uncertain, and contracts with those performance obligations generally contain multiple performance obligations with highly variable or uncertain pricing. For these contracts the Company allocates the transaction price to those performance obligations using an alternative method of allocation that is consistent with the allocation objective and the guidance on determining SSPs in Topic 606 considering, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance obligation, market pricing for competing product or service offerings, residual values based on the estimated SSP for certain goods, product-specific business objectives, incremental values for bundled transactions that include a service relative to similar transactions that exclude the service, and competitor pricing and margins. A separate price has not been established by the Company for its hardware maintenance services and software maintenance services. In addition, hardware maintenance services, software solutions, and the related maintenance services are never sold separately and are proprietary in nature, and the related selling price of these products and services is highly variable or uncertain. Therefore, the SSP of these products and services is estimated using the alternative method described above, which includes residual value techniques.

Table of Contents
The Company has applied the portfolio approach to its allocation of the transaction price for certain portfolios of contracts that are executed in the same manner, contain the same performance obligations, and are priced in a consistent manner. The Company believes that the application of the portfolio approach produces the same result as if they were applied at the contract level.
Contract Balances
The timing of invoicing to customers often differs from the timing of revenue recognition and these timing differences can result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Fees for the Company’s product and most service contracts are fixed, except as adjusted for rebate programs when applicable, and are generally due within 30 - 60 days of contract execution. Fees for installation, training, and professional development services are fixed and generally become due as the services are performed. The Company has an established history of collecting under the terms of its contracts without providing refunds or concessions to its customers. The Company’s contractual payment terms do not vary when products are bundled with services that are provided over multiple years. In these contracts where services are expected to be transferred on an ongoing basis for several years after the related payment, the Company has determined that the contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The upfront invoicing terms are designed 1) to provide customers with a predictable way to purchase products and services where the payment is due in the same timeframe as when the products, which constitute the predominant portion of the contractual value, are transferred, and 2) to ensure that the customer continues to use the related services, so that the customer will receive the optimal benefit from the products over their lives. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude any financing component from consideration for contracts where, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of services and the timing of the related payment is not expected to exceed one year.
The Company has an unconditional right to consideration for all products and services transferred to the customer. That unconditional right to consideration is reflected in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Topic 606. Contract liabilities are reflected in deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and reflect amounts allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been transferred to the customer related to software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services. The Company has no material contract assets on December 31, 2021 or 2020. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $ 5.6 million and $ 2.0 million, respectively of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, as adjusted for Topic 606, at the beginning of the period.
Variable Consideration
The Company’s otherwise fixed consideration in its customer contracts may vary when refunds or credits are provided for sales returns, stock rotation rights, price protection provisions, or in connection with certain other rebate provisions. The Company generally does not allow product returns other than under assurance warranties or hardware maintenance contracts. However, the Company, on a case-by-case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the distributor or reseller’s end customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. An allowance for sales returns is estimated based on an analysis of historical trends. In very limited situations, a customer may return previous purchases held in inventory for a specified period of time in exchange for credits toward additional purchases. The Company includes variable consideration in its transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee and it is probable there will not be a significant reversal. These estimates are generally made using the expected value method based on historical experience and are measured at each reporting date. There was no material revenue recognized in 2021 related to changes in estimated variable consideration that existed at December 31, 2020.
Remaining Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of accounting within the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies performance obligations at contract inception so that it can monitor and account for the obligations over the life of the contract. Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the transaction price in a contract allocated to products and services not yet transferred to the customer. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the aggregate amount of the contractual transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations was $ 21.5 million and $ 16.1 million, respectively. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 35 % of the remaining performance obligations in 2022 , 47 % in 2023 and 2024 , with the remainder recognized thereafter.
F-12
Table of Contents
In accordance with Topic 606, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (for example, a time-and-materials professional services contract). In addition, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with performance obligations that are expected, at contract inception, to be satisfied over a period that does not exceed one year.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue based upon the nature of its products and services and the timing and in the manner which it is transferred to the customer. Although all products are transferred to the customer at a point in time, hardware and some software is pre-installed on the interactive device are transferred at the point of shipment, while some software is transferred to the customer at the time the hardware is received by the customer or when software product access codes are delivered electronically to the customer. All service revenue is transferred over time to the customer; however, professional services are generally transferred to the customer within a year from the contract date as measured based upon hours or time incurred while software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services are generally transferred 3 - 5 years from the contract execution date as measured based upon the passage of time.

Contract Costs
The Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs to obtain a contract are those that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have otherwise incurred if the contract were not obtained (e.g., a sales commission). The Company capitalizes the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all the following criteria:
● The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify.
● The costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.
● The costs are expected to be recovered.
Certain sales commissions incurred by the Company were determined to be incremental costs to obtain the related contracts, which are deferred and amortized ratably over the estimated economic benefit period. For these sales commissions that are incremental costs to obtain where the period of amortization would have been recognized over a period that is one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient to expense those costs as incurred. Commission costs that are deferred are classified as current or non-current assets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense and are included in prepaid and other assets and other assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Total deferred commissions at December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related amortization for 2021 were less than $ 241,000 .
The Company has not historically incurred any material fulfilment costs that meet the criteria for capitalization.

WARRANTY RESERVE
For customers that do not purchase hardware maintenance services, the Company generally provides warranty coverage on projectors and accessories, batteries and computers. This warranty coverage ranges from 2 - 5 years , and the Company establishes a liability for estimated product warranty costs, included in other short-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, at the time the related product revenue is recognized. The warranty obligation is affected by historical product failure rates and the related use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which would reduce its gross profit.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs, and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.
INCOME TAX
An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Total expense is reduced by the fair value of the options that are forfeited prior to vesting when the forfeiture occurs.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We reviewed all material events through the date of these consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration as described in Note 17.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We early adopted (as of January 1, 2021) ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The new guidance simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments and for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Key provisions include the elimination of the “cash conversion” guidance and the “beneficial conversion feature” guidance in ASC 470-20 as well as a simplification of the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification by removing certain conditions in ASC 815-40-25. Since the beneficial conversion feature is eliminated by this guidance, it will not be recorded for our Series B preferred stock.
The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.
We early adopted (as of January 1, 2021) ASU No. 2021-08, “ Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ”, (“ASU 2021-08”), which amends the guidance in ASC 805 to require that “an entity (acquirer) recognize, and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, rather than at fair value”. At the acquisition date, an acquirer would account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had
F-14
Table of Contents
originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts.
We adopted ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (ASU 740): “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The new guidance eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (2) the exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and (3) the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The ASU also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods and (5) certain income tax accounting for employee stock ownership plans and affordable housing projects. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a material impact on the financial statements. The new guidance modifies the requirements for the timing of adoption of enacted change in tax law.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted
In August 2021, The FASB issued ASU 2021-06, “ Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses ” to amend SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses. Among other changes, the final rule modifies the significance tests and improves the disclosure requirements for (1) acquired or to be acquired businesses, (2) real estate operations, and (3) pro forma financial information. In addition, the final rule includes amendments to financial disclosures specific to smaller reporting companies (SRCs). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard update will have on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842 “Leases” that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Under the previous guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily depended on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new guidance also requires disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For Emerging Growth Companies, the new standard is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods in 2022. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its financial statements and will adopt the new standard in 2022.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses” (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade accounts receivable. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842. This new guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Since the Company is a Small Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is not effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have, if any, on its financial statements.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, some of which may be applicable to the Company but none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – RECENT BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
The acquisitions described below were accounted for as business combinations which require, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Deferred income taxes are recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 740 “ Accounting for Income Taxes ”. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired would be recorded as goodwill.

FrontRow Calypso LLC.
On December 31, 2021, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Boxlight, Inc, consummated the acquisition of 100 % of the membership interests of FrontRow Calypso LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FrontRow”). FrontRow was acquired in exchange for payment of $ 34.7 million to Phonic Ear Inc. and Calypso Systems LLC, the equity holders of FrontRow (the “Equityholders”). The acquisition occurred pursuant to the terms of a membership interest purchase agreement, dated October 29, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, Boxlight, FrontRow and the Equityholders, which Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 29, 2021.
Based in Petaluma, California, FrontRow makes technology that improves communication in learning environments, including developing network-based solutions for intercom, paging, bells, mass notification, classroom sound, lesson sharing, AV control and management. FrontRow also has offices in Toronto, Copenhagen, Brisbane, Hamilton (UK) and Shenzhen.
In order to finance the acquisition of FrontRow, the Company and substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Boxlight and FrontRow as guarantors, entered into a maximum $ 68.5 million term loan credit facility, dated December 31, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Whitehawk Finance LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as collateral agent. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company received an initial term loan of $ 58.5 million on December 31, 2021 (the “Initial Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $ 10 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions (the “Delayed Draw”).
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. The Company engaged the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist to determine certain fair value measurements related to acquired assets. The excess consideration over the net fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill.
The fair value or net realizable value of inventories at the date of acquisition was determined using a “top-down” approach based upon the estimated sales value, less a reasonable profit margin and less the estimated costs to dispose of the inventory, including selling costs and other disposal costs such as freight. Accordingly, the carrying amount of inventories at the acquisition date was increased to its estimated fair value based on these assumptions which will result in an increase in cost of revenues subsequent to the acquisition date in 2022. The fair value of accounts receivable acquired in connection with the acquisition approximated the contractual amount due from customers at that date.
The Company has early adopted ASU 2021-08, and therefore, the acquired contract liabilities of FrontRow have been recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 606.

Goodwill is primarily attributable to synergies expected from the acquisition and the assembled workforce. The Company incurred a total of $ 500,700 in acquisition-related costs and expensed all such costs incurred during the period in which the service was received. Acquisition related costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The results of operations of FrontRow will be included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss beginning at the acquisition date. There was no impact to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 since the acquisition was consummated on December 31, 2021.

Sahara Presentation Systems PLC
On September 24, 2020, the Company acquired 100 % of the outstanding shares of Sahara Holdings Limited, a private limited company operating under the laws of the UK and all of its subsidiaries, including Sahara Presentation Systems PLC (collectively, “Sahara”). Sahara is a distributor of audio and video software and equipment including the Clevertouch branded product line of interactive touch screens. This strategic acquisition expanded the Company’s geographic footprint, industry verticals served, and enhanced the Company’s technology and product offerings.
As consideration for the purchase of Sahara, the Company transferred GBP 74.0 million (approximately USD $ 94.9 million) in form of GBP 52.0 million (approximately USD $ 66.7 million) in cash and GBP 22.0 million (approximately USD $ 28.2 million) in our Series B convertible preferred stock and our Series C convertible preferred stock.The convertible preferred stock was comprised of 1,586,620 shares of Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 1,320,850 shares of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The fair value of the preferred shares issued was $ 16.5 million

and $ 12.4 million for the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, respectively. See further discussion of the features of the preferred shares in Note 12.
The consideration transferred to the selling shareholders along with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. The Company engaged the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist to determine certain fair value measurements related to acquired assets, and the Series B Preferred Stock, and the Series C Preferred Stock. The excess consideration over the net fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill.
The fair value of the deferred revenue at the date of acquisition was determined based on the estimated direct and incremental costs to fulfill the remaining performance obligations associated with the deferred revenue, plus a reasonable profit margin. Accordingly, the carrying amount of deferred revenue at the acquisition date was reduced to its estimated fair value based on the assumptions above which has resulted in and will result in a reduction in revenue that otherwise would have been recognized in periods subsequent to the acquisition date.
The fair value or net realizable value of inventories at the date of acquisition was determined using a “top-down” approach based upon the estimated sales value, less a reasonable profit margin and less the estimated costs to dispose of the inventory, including selling costs and other disposal costs such as freight. Accordingly, the carrying amount of inventories at the acquisition date was increased to its estimated fair value based on these assumptions which resulted in an increase in cost of revenues subsequent to the acquisition date in 2020.

Whitehawk Finance LLC
In order to finance the acquisition of FrontRow, the Company and substantially all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Boxlight and FrontRow as guarantors, entered into a maximum $ 68.5 million term loan credit facility, dated December 31, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Whitehawk Finance LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as collateral agent. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company received an initial term loan of $ 58.5 million on December 31, 2021 (the “Initial
F-24
Table of Contents
Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $ 10 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions (the “Delayed Draw”). The Initial Loan and Delayed Draw are collectively referred to as the “Term Loans.” The proceeds of the Initial Loan were used to finance the Company’s acquisition of FrontRow, pay off all indebtedness owed to our existing lenders, Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC and Lind Global Asset Management, LLC, pay related fees and transaction costs, and provide working capital. Of the Initial Loan, $ 8.5 million was subject to repayment on February 28, 2022, with quarterly principal payments of $ 625,000 and interest payments commencing March 31, 2022 and the $ 40.0 million remaining balance plus any Delayed Draw loans becoming due and payable in full on December 31, 2025. The Term Loans will bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 10.75 %; provided that after June 30, 2022, if the Company’s Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than 2.25 , the interest rate would be reduced to LIBOR plus 10.25 %. Such terms are subject to the Company maintaining a borrowing base in terms compliant with the Credit Agreement.
On March 29, 2022, the Company received a Notice of Events of Default and Reservation of Rights (the “Notice”) from the Collateral Agent, alleging, among other things, defaults as a result of (i) failure to repay $ 8.5 million of the facility by February 28, 2022, (ii) non-compliance with the borrowing base resulting in the Company being in an over advance position under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) failure to timely provide certain reports and documents. As a result of the Notice, all accrued and unpaid interest owed under the Term Loan, became subject to a post-default interest rate equal to the highest interest rate allowed for under the Credit Agreement plus 2.50 % until such time as the Events of Default are either waived or cured. Following the Company’s receipt of the Notice and pursuant to amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated April 4, 2022, the Collateral Agent and Lender agreed to extend the terms of repayment of the $ 8.5 million originally due on February 28, 2022 until February 28, 2023 and waive and/or otherwise extend compliance with certain other terms of the Credit Agreement in order to allow the Loan Parties adequate time to comply with such terms. The principal elements of the amendment included (a) an extension of time for the Loan Parties to repay $ 8.5 million of the principal amount of the term loan from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023, and (b) forbearance on $ 3,500,000 of over advances to grant the Loan Parties until May 16, 2022 to allow the Company to come into compliance with the borrowing base requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. In such connection, the Loan Parties intend to obtain credit insurance on certain key customers whose principal offices are located in the European Union and Australia as their accounts owed to the Loan Parties were deemed ineligible for inclusion in the borrowing base calculation primarily due to the perceived inability of the Collateral Agent to enforce security interests on such accounts.
In addition, the Lender and Collateral Agent agreed to (i) reduce, through June 30, 2022, the minimum cash reserve requirement for the Loan Parties, (ii) reduce the interest rate by 50 basis points (to Libor plus + 9.75 %) after delivery of the Loan Parties’ June 30, 2023 financial statements, subject to the Loan Parties maintaining 1.75 EBITDA coverage ratio, and (iii) waive all prior Events of Default under the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the parties entered into an amended and restated fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to prepayment premiums of (i) 5 % for payments made on or before December 31, 2022, (ii) 4 % for payments made between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and (iii) 2 % for payments made between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025 a. Furthermore, the parties agreed that no prepayment premiums would be payable with respect to the first $ 5.0 million paid under the Term Loan, any payments made in relation to the $ 8.5 million due on or before February 28, 2023, any required amortization payments under the Credit Agreement and any mandatory prepayments by way of ECF or casualty events.
In conjunction with its receipt of the Initial Loan, the Company issued to the Lender (i) 528,169 shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”), which Shares were registered pursuant to our existing shelf registration statement and were delivered to the Lender in January 2022, (ii) a warrant to purchase 2,043,291 shares of Class A common stock (subject to increase to the extent of 3 % of any Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock converted into Class A common stock), exercisable at $ 2.00 per share (the “Warrant”), which Warrant may be subject to repricing on March 31, 2022 based on the arithmetic volume weighted average prices for the 30 trading days prior to March 31, 2022, in the event our stock is then trading below $ 2.00 per share, (iii) a 3 % fee of $ 1,800,000 , and (iv) a $ 500,000 original issue discount. In addition, the Company agreed to register for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company also incurred agency fees, legal fees, and other costs in connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement totaling approximately $ 1.7 million.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had warrants that contain net cash settlement provisions or do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices may be lowered under certain conditions. The Company concluded that the warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company used a third party to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities at December 31, 2021 and they used a Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine the fair value. In determining the fair value of the derivative liabilities on December 31, 2020, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Key assumptions used are as follows:

The Company operates in the United States, United Kingdom and other jurisdictions. Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates of the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. The cumulative U.S. Federal net operating losses carryforward on tax basis income was approximately $ 29.9 million and $ 26.5 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, of which $ 10.6 million will expire between 2029 and 2037 and $ 19.2 million will carryforward indefinitely. The cumulative U.S. state net operating losses carryforward was approximately $ 28.8 million and $ 23.0 million on December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cumulative foreign net operating losses carryforward was $ 2.6 million and $ 2.9 million on December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The legacy Boxlight entities are in a net deferred tax asset position in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions, primarily driven by the aforementioned net operating losses. The recoverability of these deferred tax assets depends on the Company’s ability to generate taxable income in the jurisdiction to which the carryforward applies. It also depends on specific tax provisions in each jurisdiction that could impact utilization. For example, in the United States, a change in ownership, as defined by federal income tax regulations, could significantly limit the Company’s ability to utilize our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. Additionally, because U.S. tax laws limit the time during which the net operating losses generated prior to 2018 may be applied against future taxes, if the Company fails to generate U.S. taxable income prior to the expiration dates, the Company may not be able to fully utilize the net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income taxes. The Company has evaluated both positive and negative evidence as to the ability of its legacy entities in each jurisdiction to generate future taxable income. Based on its long history of cumulative losses in those jurisdictions, it believes it is appropriate to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2021 and 2020. The change in its valuation allowance during 2021 is approximately $ 2.7 million.
The Sahara entities have recorded a net deferred tax liability, which is primarily driven by the net deferred tax liability on the intangibles for which it does not have tax basis. This includes the deferred tax liability recorded during 2021 for the acquisition of Interactive Concepts. The Company does not qualify for any consolidated filing positions in any of these countries, so there is no ability to net the deferred tax liabilities of the Sahara companies against the deferred tax assets of the legacy Boxlight companies. Therefore, the net deferred tax liability of $ 8.4 million at December 31, 2021 is entirely based on the Sahara acquired entities.
The tax years from 2009 to 2021 remain open to examination in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The tax years from 2020 to 2021 remain open to examination in the U.K. Statues of limitations vary in other immaterial jurisdictions. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions at this time.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act includes provisions, among others, addressing the carryback of net operating losses for specific periods, refunds of alternative minimum tax credits, temporary modifications to the limitations placed on the tax deductibility of net interest expenses, and technical amendments for qualified improvement property. Additionally, the CARES Act provides for various payroll incentives, including Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, refundable employee retention tax credits, and the deferral of the employer-paid portion of social security payroll taxes. The Company received a $ 1.1 M loan under the PPP, of which over $ 0.8 M was forgiven in March 2022 under the requirements of the program. The remaining amount owed will be paid back in May 2022. No other provisions of the CARES Act had a material impact on the Company’s tax provision.
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 - including the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020 - was enacted. It included a provision that any expenses paid using forgiven PPP loan proceeds would be fully deductible. This has been reflected in the Company’s tax provision.
NOTE 12 – EQUITY
Preferred Shares
The Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended on September 18, 2020, provide that the Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock consisting of: 1) 250,000 shares of non-voting Series A preferred stock, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share; 2) 1,200,000 shares of voting Series B preferred stock, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share; 3) 270,000 shares of voting Series C preferred stock, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share; and 4) 48,280,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock as may be designated from time to by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Issuance of preferred shares
Series A Preferred Stock
At the time of the Company’s initial public offering, 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock were issued to Vert Capital for the acquisition of Genesis. All of the Series A preferred stock was convertible into
F-32
Table of Contents
398,406 shares of Class A common stock. On August 5, 2019, 82,028 of these preferred shares were converted into 130,721 shares of Class A common stock.
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
As stated in Note 2, on September 25, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Sahara, the Company issued 1,586,620 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 1,320,850 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated and liquidation value of $ 10.00 per share and pays a dividend out of the earnings and profits of the Company at the rate of 8 % per annum, payable quarterly. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of $ 1.66 which was the closing price of BOXL’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq stock market on September 25, 2020 (the “Conversion Price”) either (i) at the option of the holder at any time after January 1, 2024 or (ii) automatically upon the Company’s Class A common stock trading at 200 % of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days (based on a volume weighted average price). The Series C Preferred Stock has a stated and liquidation value of $ 10.00 per share and is convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock at the Conversion Price either (i) at the option of the holder at any time after January 1, 2026 or (ii) automatically upon the Company’s Class A common stock trading at 200 % of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days (based on a volume weighted average price).
To the extent not previously converted into the Company’s Class A common stock, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the option of the Holders at any time or from time to time commencing on January 1, 2024, upon thirty ( 30 ) days prior written notice to the Holders, for a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to sum of (a) Ten ($ 10.00 ) multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed (the “Redeemed Shares”), plus (b) all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Redeemed Shares. The Series C Preferred Stock is also subject to redemption on the same terms commencing January 1, 2026.
On March 24, 2021, the Company entered into a share redemption and conversion agreement with certain holders of Series B and Series C preferred stock (the “Redemption Agreement”) which allows the Company to redeem and repurchase each such stockholder’s shares of Series B preferred stock on or before June 30, 2021 for the stated or liquidation value of approximately £ 11.5 million (or approximately $ 15.9 million) plus accrued dividends from January 1, 2021 to the date of purchase. Such stockholders hold 96 % of the Series C preferred stock. Upon redemption, the Series C shares held by such stockholders would convert into approximately 7.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock at the stated conversion price of $ 1.66 per share.
On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Redemption Agreement (the “Amended Redemption Agreement”) for purposes of extending the completion date to on or before December 31, 2021. In addition, the Amended Redemption Agreement changed the definition of “Redemption Payments” such that the redemption payment schedule would begin on or before May 31, 2021, for the quarter then ended and continue quarterly until the date of completion.
Regarding these amendments, the Company applied the accounting guidance from ASC Subtopic 470-50, “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments” , pertaining to determining whether an amendment to an equity-classified preferred share is an extinguishment or modification, and concluded that the Amended Redemption Agreement on June 14, 2021, as it effected the Series B Preferred Stock, resulted in an extinguishment of the original equity instruments subject to redemption agreement. Accordingly, the Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Amended Redemption Agreement was recorded at its fair value as of June 14, 2021, and a $ 367,000 deemed contribution was credited to additional-paid-in-capital. With the Redemption Agreement, the Series B Preferred Stock includes a beneficial conversion feature, but in accordance with ASC 470-20, since it is dependent upon contingencies that are not solely in the control of the holder, the beneficial conversion feature was not recognized for accounting purposes. Since we early adopted (as of January 1, 2021) ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which includes a key provision eliminating the beneficial conversion feature guidance in ASC Subtopic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”, we will not record the beneficial conversion feature. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.
The Series B Preferred Stock has been recorded at its estimated fair value on the date of issuance of approximately $ 16.1 million, which includes the conversion and redemption features as they have not been bifurcated from the host instruments.
F-33
Table of Contents
The Series C Preferred Stock has been recorded at its estimated fair value on the date of issuance of approximately $ 12.4 million, which includes the redemption features as they have not been bifurcated from the host instrument.
As disclosed in in Note 2, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Series B and C Preferred Stock of $ 28.5 million is included as part of the total $ 94.9 million consideration paid for the purchase of Sahara.
As the redemption features in the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are not solely with the control of the Company, the Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in temporary equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Common Stock
The Company’s common stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Class A voting common stock and 50,000,000 shares of Class B non-voting common stock. Class A and Class B common stock have the same rights except that Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share while Class B common stock has no voting rights. Upon any public or private sale or disposition by any holder of Class B common stock, such shares of Class B common stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had 63,821,901 and 53,343,518 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding , respectively.

Stock Options
Under our Equity Incentive Plans, an employee may receive an award of stock grants that provides the opportunity in the future to purchase the Company’s shares at the market price of our stock on the date the award is granted (strike price). The options become exercisable over a range of immediately vested to four-year vesting periods and expire five years from the grant date, unless stated differently in the option agreements, if they are not exercised. Stock options have no financial statement effect on the date they are granted but rather are reflected over time through compensation expense. We record compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the awards which is amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Accordingly, total

expense related to the award is reduced by the fair value of options that are forfeited by employees that leave the Company prior to vesting.

In February 2022, as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, economic sanctions were imposed on Russian individuals and entities, including financial institutions, by countries around the world, including the U.S. and the European Union. The conflict may weaken the global post-pandemic recovery. The increase in cost of revenues from supply-chain bottlenecks and global freight and shipping cost, initially arising from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, may be exacerbated by the wider effect of the war in Ukraine and increasing inflationary pressures
On March 8, 2022, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) informed us by letter that a large part of our Payroll Protection Plan loan had been forgiven. Out of the total loan of $ 1,008,575 , the SBA forgave $ 835,460 . We will pay off the remaining amount in 2022.
On March 29, 2022, the Company received a Notice of Events of Default and Reservation of Rights (the “Notice”) from the Collateral Agent. The Notice alleged, among other things, defaults as a result of (i) failure to repay $ 8.5 million of the facility by February 28, 2022, (ii) non-compliance with the borrowing base resulting in the Company being in an over advance position under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) failure to timely provide certain reports and documents. As a result of the Notice, all accrued and unpaid interest owed under the Term Loan, became subject to a post-default interest rate equal to the highest interest rate allowed for under the Credit Agreement plus 2.50 % until such time as the Events of Default are either waived or cured. Following the Company’s receipt of the Notice and pursuant to amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated April 4, 2022, the Collateral Agent and Lender agreed to extend the terms of repayment of the $ 8.5 million originally due on February 28, 2022 until February 28, 2023 and waive and/or otherwise extend compliance with certain other terms of the Credit Agreement in order to allow the Loan Parties adequate time to comply with such terms.
On March 31, 2022, based on the arithmetic volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Class A common stock for the 30 trading days prior to March 31, 2022, the exercise price of the Whitehawk Warrant was reduced from $ 2.00 to $ 1.19 per share.
On April 4, 2022, the Company, the Lender and the Collateral Agent amended the Credit Agreement. The principal elements of the amendment included (a) an extension of time for the Loan Parties to repay $ 8.5 million of the principal amount of the term loan from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023, and (b) forbearance on $ 3,500,000 of over advances to grant the Loan Parties until May 16, 2022 to allow the Company to come into compliance with the borrowing base requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. In such connection, the Loan Parties intend to obtain credit insurance on certain key customers whose principal offices are located in the European Union and Australia as their accounts owed to the Loan Parties were deemed ineligible for inclusion in the borrowing base calculation primarily due to the perceived inability of the Collateral Agent to enforce security interests on such accounts. In addition, the Lender and Collateral Agent agreed to (i) reduce, through June 30, 2022, the minimum cash reserve requirement for the Loan Parties, (ii) reduce the interest rate by 50 basis points (to Libor plus + 9.75 %) after delivery of the Loan Parties’ June 30, 2023 financial statements, subject to the Loan Parties maintaining 1.75 EBITDA coverage ratio, and (iii) waive all prior Events of Default under the Credit Agreement.
