DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Data I/O Corporation (“Data I/O”, “We”, “Our”, “Us”) is a global market leader for advanced programming, security deployment, security provisioning and associated Intellectual Property (“IP”) protection and management solutions used in electronics manufacturing with flash memory, microcontrollers, and flash memory-based intelligent devices as well as secure element devices, authentication devices and secure microcontrollers. Customers for our programming system products are located around the world, primarily in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Our manufacturing operations are currently located in Redmond, Washington, United States and Shanghai, China. We prepared the financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America according to such SEC rules and regulations. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Significant Accounting Policies These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) provides a single, principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. It generally provides for the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, net of allowances for estimated returns, discounts or sales incentives, as well as taxes collected from customers when control over the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. We expense contract acquisition costs, primarily sales commissions, for contracts with terms of one year or less and will capitalize and amortize incremental costs with terms that exceed one year. During the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, the impact of capitalization of incremental costs for obtaining contracts was immaterial. We exclude sales, use, value added, some excise taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of the promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We have determined that our programming equipment has reached a point of maturity and stability such that product acceptance can be assured by testing at the factory prior to shipment and that the installation meets the criteria to be a separate performance obligation. These systems are standard products with published product specifications and are configurable with standard options. The evidence that these systems could be deemed as accepted was based upon having standardized factory production of the units, results from batteries of tests of product performance to our published specifications, quality inspections and installation standardization, as well as past product operation validation with the customer and the history provided by our installed base of products upon which the current versions were based. The revenue related to products requiring installation that is perfunctory is recognized upon transfer of control of the product to customers, which generally is at the time of shipment. Installation that is considered perfunctory includes any installation that is expected to be performed by other parties, such as distributors, other vendors, or the customers themselves. This analysis considers the complexity, skill and training needed as well as customer expectations regarding installation. 8 Table of Contents We enter into arrangements with multiple performance obligations that arise during the sale of a system that includes an installation component, a service and support component and a software maintenance component. We allocate the transaction price of each element based on relative selling prices. Relative selling price is based on the selling price of the standalone system. For the installation and service and support performance obligations, we use the value of the discount given to distributors who perform these components. For software maintenance performance obligations, we use what we charge for annual software maintenance renewals after the initial year the system is sold. Revenue is recognized on the system sale based on shipping terms, installation revenue is recognized after the installation is performed, and hardware service and support and software maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, typically one year. Deferred revenue includes service, support and maintenance contracts and represents the undelivered performance obligation of agreements that are typically for one year. When we sell software separately, we recognize revenue upon the transfer of control of the software, which is generally upon shipment, provided that only inconsequential performance obligations remain on our part and substantive acceptance conditions, if any, have been met. We recognize revenue when there is an approved contract that both parties are committed to perform, both parties rights have been identified, the contract has substance, collection of substantially all the consideration is probable, the transaction price has been determined and allocated over the performance obligations, the performance obligations including substantive acceptance conditions, if any, in the contract have been met, the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product, the buyer’s obligation would not be changed in the event of theft, physical destruction or damage to the product, the buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from us and we do not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about the resale of the product by the buyer. We establish a reserve for sales returns based on historical trends in product returns and estimates for new items. Payment terms are generally 30 to 60 days from shipment. We transfer certain products out of service from their internal use and make them available for sale. The products transferred are typically our standard products in one of the following areas: service loaners, rental or test units; engineering test units; or sales demonstration equipment. Once transferred, the equipment is sold by our regular sales channels as used equipment inventory. These product units often involve refurbishing and an equipment warranty, and are conducted as sales in our normal and ordinary course of business. The transfer amount is the product unit’s net book value and the sale transaction is accounted for as revenue and cost of goods sold. The following table represents our revenues by major categories: Three Months Ended Net sales by type March 31, 2023 Change March 31, 2022 (in thousands) Equipment $ 4,051 55.4 % $ 2,607 Adapter 2,267 39.8 % 1,622 Software and Maintenance 913 24.0 % 736 Total $ 7,231 45.6 % $ 4,965 Share-Based Compensation All stock-based compensation awards are measured based on estimated fair values on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line method. Our share-based compensation is reduced for estimated forfeitures at the time of grant and revised as necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. 9 Table of Contents Income Tax Income taxes are computed at current enacted tax rates, less tax credits using the asset and liability method. Deferred taxes are adjusted both for items that do not have tax consequences and for the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those previously used to determine deferred tax assets or liabilities. Tax provisions include amounts that are currently payable, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities that arise because of temporary differences between the timing of when items of income and expense are recognized for financial reporting and income tax purposes, and any changes in the valuation allowance caused by a change in judgment about the realization of the related deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements For the three months ended March 31, 2023, ASU 326 became effective for the Company. The adoption of the ASU 326 CECL (Current Estimate of Credit Losses) did not have a material impact to Data I/O Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents our future lease payments for long-term operating leases as of March 31, 2023: Operating Lease Commitments (in thousands) 2023 (remaining) $ 694 2024 822 2025 590 2026 132 2027 47 Thereafter - Total $ 2,285 Less imputed interest ( 174 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 2,111 Cash paid for operating lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $ 220,000 and $ 212,000 , respectively. There were no new operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2023. 11 Table of Contents The following table presents supplemental balance sheet information related to leases: Balance at March 31, 2023 Balance at December 31, 2022 (in thousands) Right-of-use assets (Long-term other assets) $ 1,946 $ 2,129 Lease liability-short term (Other accrued liabilities) 813 799 Lease liability-long term (Operating lease liabilities) 1,298 1,500 At March 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term is 2.77 and the weighted average discount rate used is 5 %. The components of our lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 include operating lease costs of $ 217,000 and $ 220,000 , respectively, and short-term lease costs of $ 6,000 and $ 20,000 , respectively. Our lease agreement for the Redmond, Washington headquarters facility, extends to January 31, 2026. The lease is for approximately 20,460 square feet. Our lease agreement for our facility located in Shanghai, China, extends to October 31, 2024 . This lease is for approximately 19,400 square feet. Our lease agreement for our facility located near Munich, Germany, extends to August 2027 . This lease is for approximately 4,895 square feet. NOTE 6 – OTHER COMMITMENTS We have purchase obligations for inventory and production costs as well as other obligations such as capital expenditures, service contracts, marketing, and development agreements. Arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure and approximate timing of the transaction. Most arrangements are cancelable without a significant penalty, and with short notice, typically less than 90 days. At March 31, 2023, the purchase commitments and other obligations totaled $ 2.4 million of which all but $ 553,000 are expected to be paid over the next twelve months. NOTE 7 – CONTINGENCIES As of March 31, 2023, we were not a party to any legal proceedings or aware of any indemnification agreement claims, the adverse outcome of which in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the first quarter of both 2023 and 2022, primarily related to foreign and minor state taxes. The first quarter of 2022, as a result of a dividend paid from our China subsidiary to the USA parent company, included $ 442,000 of income tax withheld and paid. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of valuation allowances, as well as foreign taxes. We have a valuation allowance of $ 9.3 million as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, for both 2023 and 2022, our deferred tax assets and valuation allowance have been reduced by approximately $ 429,000 and $ 399,000 , respectively, associated with the requirements of accounting for uncertain tax positions. Given the uncertainty created by our loss history, as well as the volatile and uncertain economic outlook for our industry and capital spending, we have limited the recognition of net deferred tax assets including our net operating losses and credit carryforwards and continue to maintain a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset balance. 12 Table of Contents NOTE 9 – EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on these same weighted average shares outstanding plus the effect of potential shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options based on the treasury stock method. Potential shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 (in thousands except per share data) Numerator for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share: Net income (loss) $ 95 ($ 1,820 ) Denominator for basic earnings (loss) per share: Weighted-average shares 8,818 8,622 Employee stock options and awards 211 - Denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share: Adjusted weighted-average shares & assumed conversions of stock options 9,029 8,622 Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.01 ($ 0.21 ) Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.01 ($ 0.21 ) Options to purchase 12,500 were outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods then ended because the options were anti-dilutive. NOTE 10 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION For share-based awards granted, we have recognized compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value method. For these awards we have recognized compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method reduced for estimated forfeitures. The impact on our results of operations of recording share-based compensation, net of forfeitures, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 (in thousands) Cost of goods sold $ 18 $ 15 Research and development 48 64 Selling, general and administrative 183 212 Total share-based compensation $ 249 $ 291 13 Table of Contents Equity awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Restricted Stock Units 10,000 2,515 Non-employee directors Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) typically vest over the earlier of one year or the next annual meeting of shareholders and Non-Qualified stock options vest over three years and have a six-year exercise period. Employee RSUs typically vest annually over four years and employee Non-Qualified stock options typically vest quarterly over four years and have a six-year exercise period. The remaining unamortized expected future equity compensation expense and remaining amortization period associated with unvested option grants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards at March 31, 2023 are: March 31, 2023 Unamortized future equity compensation expense (in thousands) $ 1,823 Remaining weighted average amortization period (in years) 2.37 14 Table of Contents
